I, ROBERT SUXPITCH CARTER Gentleman, of Dorset House Alfred Hill Bristol do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This specification of my invention relates to certain improvements in and a com-
bination of certain tools; namely a billhook, chopper or chopping tool or similar
edge-tool, with a nail hammer and nail extracter, and may also have in addition a
screw-driver or screw extracter, suitably attached to the handle or made as a
component part of the cutting tool itself.
The arrangement, hereinafter described and specified, is almost entirely explained
by the annexed diagram; in which A represents the handle, made of wood or other
suitable material in one or more pieces, and of any desired shape or form.
B represents the cutting edge of the bill-hook or chopper, extending along one side
of the tool from the handle to the nail extractor.
C represents the hammer-head on the back of the tool, which may be made out of
the same plate of metal as the tool itself, or may be suitably attached to the back
thereof.
D represents a two-pronged nail drawer or nail-extracter, substantially made like
that which is usually a part of an ordinary hammer.
E. represents the screw-driver or screw-extracter, which may be either formed out
of the stem of the cutting tool carried completely through the handle, or may be a
separate piece of metal suitably attached to the end of the handle; either of these
methods shall be adopted as shall be found most suitable and convenient in the
manufacture of the tool.

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:-
This Invention relates to certain improvements in and a combination of certain
tools, viz :-
-a Billhook, chopper or chopping tool or similar edge-tool, with a nail-
hammer and nail-extractor, and may also have in addition a screw-driver or
screw-extractor suitably attached to the handle or made as a component part of
the cutting tool itself.
The arrangement hereinafter described is almost entirely explained by the diagram
attached to and which forms a part of my Provisional Specification of this my
Invention, dated February 12th 1887; and in which, A represents the handle, made
of wood or other suitable material in one or more pieces and of any desired shape or
form B represents the cutting-edge of the billhook or chopper, extending along one
side of the tool from the handle to the nail-extractor: C represents the hammer-head
on the back of the tool, which may be made out of the same plate of metal as the tool
itself or be suitably attached to the back thereof: D is a two-pronged nail-drawer or
nail-extractor, substantially as that which is usually a part of ordinary hammers: E is
a representation of the screw-driver or screw-extractor, which may be either formed
out of the stem of the cutting tool, carried completely through the handle, or may be
a separate piece of metal suitably attached to the end of the handle as found most
convenient in the manufacture.
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
The Invention of an improved Combination Hand-tool, consisting of a bill-hook
chopper or chopping tool, together with a hammer and nail-extractor, and with or
without a screw-driver; in one compact, convenient tool; substantially as herein-
before described and specified.
