Whatsit? TITLE  +   -  FILE NAME  +   -  DATE  +   -  POSITION  +   -  bottom_view.jpgBottom view27 viewsThis appears to be the bottom view as the corners are not rounded and there is no decorative beading. This view shows the tops of the two threaded thumbscrews that are threaded into the double bevel blade. The extent of the sheet metal and nail repair to the wood around the left thumb screw can be seen.Sgt42RHR top_view.jpgTop View20 viewsThis is looking down on what seems to be the top or show surface of this tool. The corners are rounded, and a decorative groove is worked along each edge the length of the tool. In this view, the spring arm assembly can be seen with the spring screwed to the side and anchored on the right end by a pivot screw. An unthreaded thumb peg is seen on the other end of the assembly. A steeply sloping chamfer is cut forming what appears to be the exit as it falls away from the edge of the blade.Sgt42RHR Side2_view.jpgSide 2 View21 viewsThis view shows more of the sheet metal and nail repair to the wood around the left threaded thumb screw. It also shows a spring arm assembly that appears to form the bottom of the mouth with a double bevel blade forming the top of the mouth. The blade faces the spring arm assembly. Sgt42RHR side1_view.jpgSide 1 view18 viewsSide 1 shows the Whatsit in full view. There are metal posts on each side near the ends. The posts are smooth on their upper half and have symmetrical sets of rings and grooves on the bottom half. Also shown are two threaded thumb screws that are threaded into a stout double bevel blade, the back of which is seen in this view. Also seen is part of a sheet metal and nail repair to the wood around the left hand thumb screw.Sgt42RHR blade_spring_arm_closeup.jpgSpring arm assembly closeup22 viewsSide 2 view shows a spring arm assembly anchored at one end with a wood screw. It is attached at is other end to one end of a metal bar through which passes a pivot screw and one end and a thumb peg at the other. The metal bar forms the bottom of the mouth with a double bevel blade forming the top of the mouth. By moving the thumb peg, the mouth bar pivots away from the cutting edge of the blade. The edge of the mouth bar that is closet to the blade's edge is chamfered the same length as the blade.Sgt42RHR Possible_depth_adjustment.jpgPossible depth adjuster?19 viewsThis closeup shows what appears to be an unthreaded thumb screw (peg?) in a position that would allow it to be used as a depth adjustment for the possible thickness gauge formed by the spring arm. At present the end of the thumb peg is level with the underside of the arm in which it is affixed. It does not protrude and thus is presently not providing support for the spring arm assembly. The thumb peg is too rusted to move.Sgt42RHR     6 files on 1 page(s) Powered by Coppermine Photo Gallery and JoomBla!
