I, EDWARD WELDON, of 21, Wicker, Sheffield, in the County of York, Mark
maker, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE METHOD OF ATTACHING THE BLADES OF SAWS TO THE HANDLES," to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide a handle to which any kind of saw blade
may be attached and consists of an ordinary wooden saw handle cut down the centre
to receive the blade and having three holes for rivets or screws, two or more of which
are passed through the handle and rivetted thereto, and one being loose.
The blade is manufactured in the ordinary way but at the handle end thereof two
shaped slots and a hole are flied or stamped out.
When it is desired to attach the blade to the handle the two L shaped slots are
brought opposite the rivets therein and the blade pushed backward and then drawn
down, the rivets fitting into the extreme points of the slots, and the hole in the blade is
brought opposite that in the handle and a screw passed through it, the said screw
fitting into a small nut in the reverse side of the handle thus holding the blade
firmly in position.

Improvements in the Method of Attaching the Blades of Saws to
the Handles.
1 EDWARD WELDON of 21 Wicker Sheffield in the County of York Mark-Maker
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
METHOD OF ATTACHING THE BLADES OF SAWS ΤΟ THE HANDLES" and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to provide a handle to which any kind of Saw
Blade may be attached and consists of an ordinary Wooden Saw Handle cut down
the centre to receive the blade and having three or more holes for rivets screws or
pins two or more of which are passed through the handle and rivetted thereto and
one being loose in the said handfe.
The blade is manufactured in the ordinary way but at the handle end thereof and
in convenient positions two shaped slots and a hole are flied or stamped out. The
loose pin as illustrated in Fig. 4 of the accompanying drawings is fitted in a collar in
the handle and cannot come out but may be easily withdrawn so far as to allow the
entrance or withdrawal of the blade or knocked into a second collar on the reverse
side of the handle to retain the said blade in position. Collar F¹ is screwed in the
one side of the handle and the pin C then inserted. Collar F being taper is screwed
into the reverse side of the handle, thus preventing the said pin C coming out.
The accompanying drawings illustrato my invention of which the following is a
description.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the saw blade shewing the L shaped slots A. A and
the hole B to receive the loose pin C.
Fig. 2 is a side view in elevation shewing the fixed pins D D and the loose pin C..
Fig. 3 is a plan of the saw handle shewing the gate E cut to receive the saw blade
and the pin C.
Fig. 4 is a full size in section of the collars F F for the pin C.
In carrying this invention into effect the two L shaped slots A A are placed in the
gate or cut E in the handle opposite the rivetted pins D D. and the blade is pushed
backwards into the said gate or cut and then drawn downwards until the said fixed
pins are brought into the extreme ends of the shaped slots and the blade thus
becomes locked in the handle and the hole B being brought opposite the hole in the
handle the loose pin C is driven home and holds the said blade firmly in its desired
position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is,
Firstly Improvements in the method of attaching saw blades to the handles
whereby any kind of saw blade may be affixed to the said handle thereby obviating

page_text: the necessity of a workman carrying full sets of complete saws along with him as
one handle will suffice for a set of blades.
Secondly in saws with wooden handles having holes for rivets screws or pins one of
which is loose and moveable the others being affixed therein.
Thirdly in the blades of saws by flying or stamping out two L shaped slots to fit
to and into the stationery rivets or pins in the handle and a hole which comes
opposite to the hole in the handle and through which the loose pin is passed to hold
the whole firmly and securely in position.
Fourthly the whole as hereinbefore substantially set forth and as specified described
and illustrated by accompanying drawings.
