We, JoHN WHITEHOUSE, 10, Market Place, Evesham, Gas Fitter, and JEREMIAH
GEORGE BILLINGS, 8, Market Place, Evesham, in the County of Worcester, Hair-
dresser, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:—
Our invention refers to an improved case or box for holding an oil-stone or hone
in a fixed position by a thumb screw and moveable plate so as to catch the waste
oil thereby preventing it from dirtying or greasing the table or slab upon which
it is placed.
In order that our invention may be more clearly understood and easily carried
into practical effect we have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings
upon which we have illustrated an example of our oil-stone or hone case.
Figure 1 is a side view of our hone or oil-stone case or box complete.
Figure 2 is a right hand end view of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a plan view of the box or case with the lid removed shewing the hone
or oil-stone fixed in position.
Figure 4 is a sectional elevation taken on the line a-y of Figure 1 but with
the lid or cover fitted on.
In carrying our invention into practice we form our box or case A from tin
or other metal or material with the raised portions a¹ and at either end on
which the ends of the home or oil-stone Brest the width of the box or case being
sufficient so as to leave a space at either side of the oil-stone or hone. The
raised portion a² extends upwards at a so as to form an abutment for one end
01

page_text: of the hone to bear against. Or this raised portion may be formed indepen-
dently of the raised portion a*. At the opposite end of the case or box we form or
fix the thick end portion and this thickened portion is drilled and tapped to
receive the thumb screw S or its equivalent by means of which the oil stone or
hone is fixed in position in the case or box. The plate or bar is preferably
fixed or attached to the end of the thumb screw so as to form a broad bearing
piece for the end of the oil-stone or hone to bear against when fixed in position.
It will thus be seen that when the oil-stone or hone B is fixed in position that
the space or well is formed at the bottom of the box or case so that as the
waste oil runs down the sides of the oil-stone or hone it is collected in this well
as clearly shewn at Figures 3 and 4. The lid L which is provided for keeping
the surface of the oil-stone or hone clean when not in use is formed at one end
with the slot f¹ so as to pass over the adjusting thumb screw S and on the under-
side at either end with the projecting portions f which may be used as steadys
for the hone or oil-stone. It will be evident that oil-stones or hones of various
sizes may be used with our box or case as the thumb screw allows for adjustment
in length.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
CLAIMS.
First An oil-stone or hone case or box formed so as to leave a space at
ether side of the oil-stone or hone and having an adjusting screw or its equivalent
for holding the hone or oil-stone in position in the manner and for the purpose
substantially as herein set forth and as shewn upon the accompanying sheet of
drawings.
Second-In an oil-stone or hone case or box as claimed in the preceeding Claim
providing raised portions such as a and a² for the oil-stone or hone to rest upon
so as to form a well or space such as a for the reception of the waste oil sub-
tantially as herein set forth and as shewn upon the accompanying sheet of
drawings.
