HANDLE FOR A FARRIER'S RASP OR THE LIKE

摘要

A farriers' rasping tool (4) has a rasp (6) and a handle (7). The handle (7) includes a hand-grip (10) with two opposed tines (9) extending from one end of the hand-grip (10). The handle (7) also has a rasp carrier (8) that is pivotally mounted between the tines (9) by means of pivot-pins (12). The carrier (8) has a socket (11) in it which is dimensioned so that a time (13) of the rasp (6) is a force-fit into it. Pivotal movement of the carrier (8) between the tines (9) results in rotation of the rasp (6) between the position shown in solid outline in figure 3 and the position shown in dotted outline in that figure. This range of pivotal movement is about (15) degrees and readily- released locking pins (which are not shown in the drawings) are used to lock the carrier (8) in either of the positions that are illustrated in figure 3. The hand-grip (10) is placed so that its longitudinal axis is spaced above the plane of the rasp (6) relative to the orientation of the rasp as shown in solid outline in figure 3.
