Description: |
| Alban Andrén - patent attorney My invention relates to improvements in ice tools, consisting of the combination of hatchet, pick, and tongs, arranged together to form one tool, as follows: The head of the tool is made in one end as a hatchet, and in the opposite end as a pick, midway between which is, projecting downward, a shank-piece, to which the upper ends of the blades of the tongs are hinged by means of a pin or bolt passing through the said shank and blades. When the said blades are folded together they form a convenient handle, by which the hatchet and pick are manipulated. For the purpose of steadying the blades when used as the handle aforesaid, I provide the shank to which they are jointed with a pair of notches on two opposite sides thereof, in which the upper ends of the blades of the tongs are resting when they are used as a handle for the hatchet and pick. The shank with its hatchet and pick forms a convenient handle to raise or transport ice held between the extended sharp ends of the tongs. |
