DRAW AND PUSH KNIFE Filed July 28, 1930 a INVENTOR WITNESS 1 Jhh 4. AQZZ 97% BY K ATTOR N EY Patented Mar. 31, 1931 UNIE DRAW-AND-PUSI-I KNIFE Application filed July 28,

This invention relates to tools for use by carpenters and painters and a primary object of the invention is to so construct such a tool to adapt it to be used in close places or corners and which is especially useful in cutting away places where windows and doors bind without necessitating the removal of the strip or frame.

} Another object of the invention is to so construct a tool of this character that the blade may be engaged with the work without the handle contacting therewith to facilitate its use in close places.

In carrying out these objects, the invention is susceptible'of a wide range of modification without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the claimedinvention; there being shown in the drawings for illustrative purposes a preferred and as practical form, in which:

Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a right hand tool embodying this invention;

Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof;

Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of a left hand tool embodying the invention;

Fig. 4: is a plan view of the form shown in Fig. 3; f

Fig. 5 is a transverse section taken on the line 55 of Fig. 1; and

Fig. 6 is a similar View taken on the line 66 of Fig. 8..

The tool embodying this invention comprises a shank 1 having a blade 2 at one end and a handle 10 at the other. The blade 2 5 in the form shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 5 is arranged to face the operator when the handle 10 is grasped in his right hand, while in Figs. 3, 4:, and 6 the blade 2a is arranged on the opposite side of the shank to face the. operator when the handle is grasped in his left hand thereby making right and left tools.

The blade 2 is shown rectangular in form from one edge of Y which extends at right 1930. Serial No. 431,338.

ing or pulling or moving sidewise. The peculiar connection of the blade with the shank of sets it edgewise therefrom and adapts it for working in a corner with the handle held away from the object being cut, 5 see Fig. 2.

It is obvious that this tool may be used not only as a scraper for cutting out wood in close places but may be used for removing paint from surfaces and for many purposes 0 of this kind. It is of course. understood that the blade is to be made of high grade steel I to insure the proper cutting or scraping action. 7

Without further description it is thought that the features and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and it will, of course, be understood that changes in the form, proportion and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or its scope as claimed.

angles an arm 3 which forms a connector for 45 uniting the blade with the shank, an obliquely disposed arm a forming a connector between the upstanding arm 3 of the blade and the front end of the shank 1. The other three edges of the blade 2 are sharpened so that the 50 blade may be used for cutting by either push-'-
