page_text: We GEORGE HIEBERD Plumber Gas & Steam Fitter and HARRY HOMER
HIBBERD Plumber Gás and Steam Fitter of Wheeling in the County of Ohio and
State of West Virginia United States of America do hereby declare the nature of
our said Invention for "COMBINATION TOOLS" to be as follows:-
The Invention consists in combining in the same implement séveral tools adapted
to serve respectively as a pan lifter, stove-plate lifter, pot hook, tack hammer, and
tack drawer and in certain novel and peculiar forms of these several tools.
One end of the shank of the implement constructed according to this Invention
is of bevelled form and curved in such a manner as to adapt it for insertion into
the hole of a stove plate and its extreme end is notched to allow it to grasp the
head of a tack. On the convex side of this end of the implement is cast a heel or
enlargement which serves as a fulcrum for the implement in drawing tacks.
two arms.
The other end of the implement is provided with two arms projecting in opposite
directions and one of them being so curved as to surround the edge of the pan
to be lifted so that on raising the implement the pan will be grasped between the
One of the said arms inay be so shaped as to serve as a tack hammer
and upon the other one may be cast a curved lug which may serve as a hook for
Jifting pots. The pot-lifting hook may however be located at the other end of
the implement in which case two of the said hooks may be employed instead
of one.

page_text: We GEORGE HIBBERD and HARRY HOMER HIBBERD of Wheeling in the County
of Ohio and State of West Virginia one of the United States of America do hereby
declare the nature of said invention for "COMBINATION TOOLS" and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :—
The Invention consists in combining in the same implement several tools
adapted to serve respectively as a pan lifter stove-plate lifter pot hook tack hammer
and tack drawer; and also in the several combinations of these various elements
and certain novel and peculiar forms of the same.
In order that our Invention may be fully understood we will proceed to describe
the same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which―
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a combination tool constructed according to our
Invention Figure II is a top view of the same and Figure III is an end view
thereof Figure IV is a side elevation showing a slight modification.
1 is the shank of the tool wbich is curved at one end as shown at 2 to form a
prising implement or stove-plate lifter and in the extremity of this curved portion
a notch 3 is made, thereby adapting it for use as a tack drawer. 4 is a heel
or fulcrum which will assist in drawing tacks should the curved portion prove
insufficient.
The opposite end of the implement is provided with two separate arms, 5, 6, the
first one 5, being so shaped as to serve the purpose of a hammer and the second, 6,
formed of a shape approximating that of the letter C. and may be employed for
lifting and carrying articles such for example as a pan by inserting the edge of the
pan or like article in the opening 7 so that when power is applied to the handle or
shank 1 for the purpose of lifting the pan or the like the shoulder 8 on the arm 5
' bears against the outer surface thereof and the inner face of the overhanging
portion of the C-shaped arm 6. bears against the interior surface, and thus forms a
temporary handle for the pan or the like.
9 is a hook formed on the upper portion of the arm 6 and curved backward as
represented, it may be employed for lifting and carrying pots and other articles
provided with looped handles by engaging the hook with the said handles-This
hook 9 may be located at the other end of the implement as shown in Figure IV in
which case two may be formed instead of one, but it is preferred to arrange it as
shewn in Figure 1.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
1st The combination tool consisting of shank 1 prising implement or stove-
plate lifter 2, tack drawer 3 and pot hook or hooks 9. substantially as set forth.
2nd The combination with shank 1 of arms 6, 5, the former being shaped sub-
stantially as described so as to embrace the edge of a pan or the like and clamp the
same in connection with the arm 5 for the purposes set forth.
3rd The combination tool having shank 1 a prising implement or stove-plate
lifter 2, pot hook or hooks 9, lammer 5 and pan lifter 6. 8.
4th The combination tool comprising a prising implement or stove-plate lifter,
tack drawer pot hook or hooks, hammer and a pan lifter, all constructed and
arranged substantially as herein shown and described.

lifter and pot hook formed on one end of said handle substantially as shown and
described.
6th In a combination tool the combination with a suitable handle of a hammer
bead and pot hook formed on one end of said handle as described.
7th The herein described combination tool, comprising a handle having a stove-
plate lifter and a tack drawer formed on one end thereof, and pan lifter tack
hammer and pot hook formed on the other end substantially as described.
