page_text: I, DAVID CABLE KEILLER, of Kopparberg, in the Kingdom of Sweden, Mining
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The present invention has for its object a rake in which the teeth are extremely
strong and resistant owing to their shape and method of attachment to the rake
head, whilst at the same time the rake can be very cheaply made as it may be
formed of sheet iron scrap or clippings.
The improved rake is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which,
Figure 1 is a front elevation and Figure 2 a plan view, whilst Figures 3 and 4
are sections on the lines A B and C D of Figure 1 respectively.
The rake teeth 1 consist of strips of sheet iron hent round into a channel
shape and pass in this form through the horizontal part of the rake head 2, which
consists of sheet metal bent to an angle. The teeth are flat at their upper end
and are here internally attached to the vertical part of the rake head by means of
rivets 3. This head is pressed downwards into the channels of the teeth in order
to secure the same (Figure 3).
The handle socket 4 is secured to the rake head by means of rivets 5.

I, DAVID CABLE KEILLER, of Kopparberg, in the Kingdom of Sweden, Mining
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
The present invention has for its object a rake in which the teeth are extremely
strong and resistant owing to their shape and method of attachment to the rake
head, whilst at the same time the rake can be very cheaply made as it may be
formed of sheet iron scrap or clippings.
The improved rake is shown in the drawings accompanying the Provisional
Specification, in which:-
:_
Figure 1 is a front elevation and Figure 2 a plan view, whilst Figures 3 and 4
are sections on the lines A B and C D of Figure 1 respectively.
The rake teeth 1 consist of strips of sheet iron bent round into a channel
shape and pass in this form through the horizontal part of the rake head 2, which

and are here internally attached to the vertical part of the rake head by means of
rivets 3. This head is pressed downwards into the channels of the teeth in order
to secure the same (Figure 3). "
The handle socket 4 is secured to the rake head by means of rivets 5.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:—
A rake characterized by the teeth being formed of pieces (1) of sheet iron
bent over into a channel shape, which teeth are passed in this form through the
lower or horizontal part of the rake head (2) consisting of a sheet metal plate
bent to an angle, and are attached by their flattened upper ends by means of
rivets (3) internally to the vertical part of the rake head, which latter is pressed
downwards into the channel shaped teeth with the object of making the teeth
stronger and securely attaching them to the rakė head, substantially as herein-
before described.
