PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Hand Planes.
I, FRANK SALES PERKINS 220 Penton Place Walworth S.E. do heroby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to hand planes and consists in providing same with a ready
means of lubricating the surface of same when in use & also in providing the plane
with a bent plate or shield for giving a better "grasp" or hold to the hand when
using same.
In the body or block of the plane & at a suitable part of same a reservoir
containing the lubricant such as oil is provided; said reservoir communicating
through an aperture with the face or surface of the plane. A knob or thumb piece
in connection with a valve or such like suitable arrangement is provided, so that
by operating the knob the lubricant is supplied to the working surface as required.
A convenient form of valve consists of a piece of absorbent material placed over
the aperture such as felt, which when compressed delivers a certain amount of
lubricant through the aperture.
A "grasp" or curved plate is secured to the rear of the plane for giving a good
bearing for the fork formed by the thumb & fingers of the hand.
Dated this 1st day of March 1895.
