Improvement in Tempering Ovens for Steel and Iron
|
George F. Simonds |
Fitchburg, MA |
Claims even distribution of heat utilizing an intervening preforated plate between the fire and clamps as well as patenting the general construction method of utilizing passages, a hot air chamber, and tiles to further distribute the heat. George Simonds references this patent in his application for Patent No. 169,736. Additionally, this appears to be an improvement over Patent No. 150,625 which uses clamps to prevent warping of the circular saw blade. |

Saw Screw
|
Charles Glover |
Hartford, CT |
The primary focus of this patent is on the two-part construction of the saw medallion ("label screw"). In a sense, it can be seen as an improvement on Munger's patent (U.S.P.N 98180), which had no provision for preventing the shaft from twisting independent of the head if the swaged fit failed. The large show surface of Glover's medallion, in conjunction with the shoulder beneath it, allowed for the addition of longitudinal ribs on the shaft of the screw to resist turning.
The medallion (figures 2, 3 & 4) and the saw screw (figure 5) shown in Glover's patent drawings both feature the internally threaded construction patented by Henry Disston in 1876 (U.S.P.N. 181648). This form displaces the through screw and "split nut" arrangement which had been the norm. Glover's saw screw differs from Disston's by being formed in a die rather than being cast and having longitudinal ribs on the shaft rather than a square section to resist turning. Also, though not specified in the patent, the shafts of Glover's saw nuts were of stouter construction. Glover's form eventually superseded Disston's.
Saw medallions with this patent date have been found on saws from a wide variety of saw manufacturers. |

Handsaw
|
Alfred M. Remington |
Fitchburg, MA |
Actual production model does not closely follow the patent drawings. Blade may be adjusted and positioned at any angle up to 90 degrees or reversed. Connecting slots in the blade which form a "T" and the position is controlled with two pins which ride in slot. Put into production by Simonds, but the "T" slot was not an element of the patent. The key visual identification means for this patent is the conventional wing nut used to tighten the blade in the desired position vice the single lever used by Disston and others, 938680. |
