IMPROVEMENT IN HANDLE FOR CROSS-CUT SAWS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent ana making part cf the same.

Be it known that I, EMANUEL ANDREWS, of Williamsport, in the county of Lycoming and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Handles for Cross-cut Saws; p and I do hereby declare that the following is a true and accu rate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and the letters of reference marked thereon, and being a part of this speciiication, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of my handle, as when attached to a cross-cut saw.

Figure 2 is vertical transverse section of the same: and y l Figure 3 is a bottom plan of the winged sleeve.

Similar letters ofreference indicate .corresponding parts in each figure. 4 f Y The nat-ure of this invention relates to an improved consti-notion of handles for cross-cut saws, and consists in a novel ferule,'hexagonal in its upper inner portion, where ,it is provided with a hexagonal nut, and cylindrical in its lower inner part, where a wooden handle is inserted* In the drawingv A represents a handle, in whose lower end is bored a recess, d.

B is metallic ferule, slipped over the lower end of the handle, projecting its tip b therefrom; the interior of the tip bis hexagonal in form, and in its base, between it and the end of the handle is inserted aunt, G, which is prevented from being drawn out by tapering it to correspond with the interior walls of the tip, orit may be provided with a ange, as shown in fig. 2.

Dis a-winged sleeve which fits loosely on the tip of the ferule, and is provided with a longitudinal groove, d, on its lowerside, which embraces the back of the saw-blade E.

F is a tang having a slot, j, in its lower part to receive the saw-blade. The upper part of the tangV is threaded, and engages with the nut C, while its central'portion is squared, as shown at g, fig. 2, and passes through the square opening e, g. 3, of the sleeve.

The handle is secured to the saw by partially unscrewing the handle from the ltang; the saw is then inserted in the slot f of the tang, and the winged sleeve D dropped down, so that its groove d will embracepthe edge of the saw, when, by screwing np the handle, the tang is drawn in toward the nut, carrying the saw withit, firmly binding the whole together;

the handle is as readily detached, when necessary.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is p v The ferule B, hexagonal in its upper inner portion, where it is provided with a hexagonal nut, C, and ey-' lindrical in its lower inner part, when construct-ed as described and shown, and for the purpose set forth. EMANUEL ANDREWS. Witnesses:
