ELIJAH A. PARKS, OF SOUTH BEND, ARKANSAS.

COMBINATION-TOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 266,193, dated October 17, 1882.

Application filed May 2, 1882. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELIJAH A. PARKS, of South Bend, in the county of Lincoln and State of Arkansas, have invented a new and Improved Combination-Too], of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention consists in a metal plate or strip having one end beveled to form a screwdriver, having notches in one edge for bending saw-teeth or breaking glass, having the upper end of this edge beveled and provided with gage studs or projections to be used as a gage for the inclination of saw-teeth, having a glass-cutting roller journaled in one edge, and having a recess in one end, which forms a sharpened and pointed prong to be used as a can-opener.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming p artot' this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate cor responding parts in the figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal view of my improved combination-tool. Fig. 2 is a crosssectional view otthe same on theline x a Fig.1.

A longitudinal plate or strip, A, of metal is tapered toward one end and sharpened to form a screw-driver, B. In one longitudinal edge one or more notches or recesses, U, are provided, which can be used for bending sawteeth or other metal edges, or for breaking glass. This same longitudinal edge is provided with a bevel, D, at the end of the strip A opposite the one at which the screw-driver B is formed, and from this beveled edge a series of small studs, E, project. If the longitudinal edge is placed against the side of a saw, the beveled edge I) can be used as a gage for the side inclination of the saw-teeth, the studs E t'ormin g gages for the different lengths of the saw-teeth. In the end edge opposite the one forming the screw-driver B a small sharp-edged steel roller, F, is journaled, which has its inner edge sharpened, which prong can be used as a can-opener,or for similar purpOStS.

The above-described coinbinationtool is very simple in construction, is compact, combines very useful implements, and can be conveniently carried in a pocket.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A combination-tool made substantially as herein shown and described, and consisting of a plate or strip of metal, A, having one end pointed to form a screw-driver, B, having notches (J in one edge, and having one edge beveled and provided with projections E, thereby forming a gage for the inclination of sawteeth, as set forth.

2. in a combination-tool, the strip or plate of metal A, having one end beveled to form a screw-driver, B, and having notches O in one edge, having the end of thisedge beveled and provided with projections E, and provided in one end with a recess, G, forming a sharpened prong, H, to be used as a can-opener, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
