Improvements in the Manufacture of Socketed Tools and the like.
We, GEORGE GLOSSOP, of 114 Walkley Crescent Road, Walkley, Sheffield, Steel
Forge Man, and ABRAHAM OSOSKI, of Hallamshire Chambers, 47 Scotland Street,
Sheffield, Tailor, both in the County of York, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
-
The object of our improvements in the manufacture of sockets for joiner's tools
such as chisels or other articles requiring sockets for handles to be placed therein,
is to make them in one and the same piece and thereby obtain a superior and
stronger tool than is now made.
At the present time it is customary in making joiner's chisels or the like, to
steel face a part of the chisel or other tools, and at its back weld a shank or socket
to the same, this necessitating another operation, whereas under our improvements
we preferably forge them from the one and the same thing.
Thus, having obtained a suitable steel or steel-faced rod for the purpose of
forging the chisel, it is cut of a suitable length so that the chisel can be hammered
out into the desired shape, and at its back allow sufficient metal for forming the
cup or socket.
After having hammered the said tool or the like into suitable shape, we make
top and bottom or side dies of any desired shape preferable taper, for the purpose
of forming the outside portion of the cup or socket of the chisel or other tools.
To form the inner hollow or recess we use a suitable plug within the said dies
either added by hand or affixed within so that when the extra parts of the chisels
or tools are heated and placed within the said dies and plug constant hammering
thereon forms the cup or socket in one with the tool which can almost be done
with one operation of heating the resulting cup or socket being weldless.
There are many cases in which these sockets or cups may be adopted such s
spades, rakes garden and other tools. The hollow part of cup or socket may be
formed in any desired manner.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Socketed Tools and the like.
We, GEORGE GLOSSor, of 114 Walkley Crescent Road, Walkley, Sheffield, Steel
Forge Man, and ABRAHAM OSOSKI, of Hallamshire Chambers, 47 Scotland Street,
Sheffield, Tailor, both in the County of York, do hereby declare the nature of this
Price Sd

page_text: invention 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 our improvements in the manufacture of socketed tools such as
chisels or other articles requiring sockets for handles to be placed therein is to
make tool and socket in one and the same piece and thereby obtain a superior and
stronger tool than is now made.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figures 1 and 2 are side elevations at right angles to each other of a weldless
tool according to this invention.
Like letters indicate like parts throughout the drawings.
In forming our weldless socketed tool or a tool without a weld in it at all either in
the tool body or in the socket, we take an ordinary piece of suitable steel or steel-
faced rod for the purpose of forging, say, a chisel. We then cut it to suitable
length so that the chisel A can be hammered out to the desired shape and the
neck B possess sufficient metal for forging the cup or socket C.
In forming the said socket C the part or neck of the chisel B is heated and placed
into any suitably-shaped top and bottom or side dies and a plug inserted by hand
or mechanical means, as that when constant hammering is resorted to, the cup or
socket C is therewith formed in one and the same piece as in Figures 1 and 2 and
also the socket C becomes perfectly round slightly tapered within; or it can be
made hollow and of any desired shape thereby forming the socket C in one with
the tool A and weldless.
We may use in constructing our cups or sockets and tools any suitable kind of
metal.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
1. A socketed tool without a weld in it at all either in the tool or in the socket.
2. The socketed weldless tool substantially as described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.
