3018. Burgon, C. June 26.
Sheep shears. -- The bow is made in two parts so as to facilitate sharpening. The parts are fastened together by a pivot pin A, Fig. 1, and a box or cap piece B secured in place bye a screw bolt. For sharpening, the cap is removed and the two parts of the bow are turned round so as to be in line with each other. In a modification, the parts of the bow are fitted with a socket and spring-snap arrangement, as show in Figs. 6 and 7.Cataloged By
