An Improved Saddler's Leather Cutting Punch, also suitable for the
Cutting Out of any Material which it can be Applied to.
I, MARTHA REYNOLDS, of Aldridge, near Walsall, in the County of Stafford,
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: -
This invention consists of the herein-described improved saddler's leather
cutting punch which is also suitable for the cutting out of any material which
it can be applied to.

An ordinary saddler's punch is forged in one piece and welded up the front
of the tubular fore part and often breaks at the weld when in use. This defect
I overcome by my invention which I will describe by referring to the accom-
panying drawing on which Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of what is known
as a "single throat" saddler's punch made according to this invention and
Figure 2 is a sectional elevation of what is known as a "double throat" or
"gun wad punch pattern" saddler's punch made according to this invention.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in both figures.
According to this invention I make the punch in two parts namely the handle
part A and the tubular fore or cutting part B which are fixed together by brazing
or by screwing or other suitable means so as to be of the same shape as an
ordinary saddler's punch. The handle part A is made as a malleable casting
or as a forging with a socket a' at the lower end into which the spigot part b¹
of the tubular fore part B is fixed by brazing or screwing as aforesaid. The
tubular fore part B can thus be turned out of a solid steel bar and the central
hole bored therein and as there is no weld in the tubular fore part B the

page_text: latter is not liable to break when in use as do the ordinary saddler's punches
above referred to.
my said
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The improved saddler's leather cutting punch consisting of the handle part A
and the weldless fore or cutting part B made separate from each other and fixed
together substantially as set forth.
