PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Handtool for Cutting Pipes, Shafts, and Bars of Metal.
JAMES RIPLEY, Engineer, 98 Mount Street Bolton JOSEPII MOORE, Engineer,
20 Sandon Street, Halliwell Bolton in the County of Lancaster do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
The body of the tool is formed with two V holders, one of which forms part of
the stock of the tool, the other is loose on the stock, & is adjustable with a screw
to suit the various sizes of metal put in to be cut. In the fixed V is a slot through
which the end of the cutter slides. The other end of the cutter is gripped in a
suitable tool-holder by a set screw. The tool-holder is made to slide on the
handle & is fed inward or outward by a screw nut also on the handle. The tool-
holder is made to receive an ordinary piece of bar steel which forms the cutter
which is not confined to any particular length. The handles are projecting bars,
one from each end of the stock, which give the necessary leverage for pulling the
tool round the shaft, pipe or bar.

JAMES RIPLEY Engineer, 98 Mount Street Bolton Lancashire JOSEPH Moore,
Engineer 20 Sandon Street Chorley Old Road Bolton Lancashire do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The body of the tool is formed with two V holders, one of which forms part of
the stock of the tool. The other is loose on the stock and is adjustable with a
screw to suit the various sizes of metal put in to be cut. In the fixed V is a slot
through which one end of the cutter slides. The other end of the cutter is gripped
in a suitable toolholder by a set screw.
The toolholder is made to slide on the
handle and is fed inward or outward by a screw nut also on the handle. The tool-
holder is made to receive an ordinary piece of bar steel which forms the cutter,
which is not confined to any particular length. The handles are projecting bars,
one from each end of the stock which give the necessary leverage for pulling the
tool round the shaft pipe or bar.
A is the body of the tool. B and B are the two V holders. C is the screw for
feeding up the V holder B'. D is the cutter which slides through the V holder B.
E is the toolholder sliding on the handle F and fed inward or outward by the nut G.
F and F are the two handles.
By this method we are enabled to put the tool upon the middle of a shaft
without putting it over the end of the shaft. By the screw C we can adjust the
holder B to whatever size of shaft it is necessary to cut without interfering with
the working of the cutter. By this arrangement shown in the drawing the tool-
holder E may be fed inward by the nut Guntill the shaft is cut completely off.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
1st. The V holder B is moved separately by the screw C which is carried on
the opposite end of the stock to the cutter.
2nd. By this method we are enabled to put the tool upon the middle of a shaft
without putting it over the end of the shaft. By the screw C we can adjust the
holder B to whatever size of shaft it is necessary to cut without interfering with
the working of the cutter. By this arrangement shown in the drawing the tool-
holder E may be fed inward by the nut G untill the shaft is cut completely off.
