and such like Instruments to their Shafts and Handles.
I JOSIAH GIBSON of Number 2 Birchfield Street in the City of Liverpool
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
For an improved means of fastening and securing hammer heads and such like
instruments to their shafts and handles also suitable for fastening other heads of
instruments that are used with shafts or handles. My invention as for its objects a
certain improved means of fastening and securing hammers hatchets and other such
like heads to their shafts or handles and all such like instruments that require their
shafts and handles fastening and securing in the eye hole of such hammer hatchet
and such like instruments heads. The heads shafts and handles of such instruments
are generally fastened and secured by means of a wedge or plug which is placed in
the ends of the shaft or handle and by the vibration caused by the working and use of
such instrument they are constantly becoming loose that is to say they are forced from
the interior of the hammer shafts or handles and the heads of such instruments are
instantaneously servered from the shafts or handles and my invention is to prevent the
severation of the head from the shafts and handles of such instruments aforesaid or
becoming loose when fastened and secured by my invention and to carry out my
invention to a practical issue I drill a hole right through the side of the hammer head
or such instrument required to be fitted with my invention and through the centre of
the eye hole which eye hole receives the shaft or handle and when the shaft or handle
is forced tightly into the drilled eye hole of the hammer heads or other
instruments use in lieu of a wedge or plug for fastening and securing the
same a screw which is inserted through the aforesaid hole in the side and which
runs through the shaft or handle also through the two sides of the hammer and othér
instruments heads. One side of the aforesaid hole will be countersunk to receive the
head of the screw making it flush when fixed with the side of the haminer and other
instruments heads of course I do not tie myself to use a screw for the purpose of
running through the hammer or other instruments heads shafts or handles for the
purpose of fastening and securing same; for instance I may use a bolt pin rivet or
any other suitable devise that will answer the purpose as aforesaid.

shafts or handles and my invention is to prevent the severation of the heads from the
shafts and handles of such instruments aforesaid or becoming loosed when fastened
and secured by my invention and to carry out my invention to a practical issue I drill
a hole right through the side of the hammer head or such instrument required to be
fitted with my invention and through the centre of the eyehole which eye hole receives
the shaft or handle and when the shaft or handle is fixed tightly into the drilled
eye hole of the hammer head or other like instrument I use in lieu of a wedge or plug
for fastening or securing the same a screw which is inserted through the aforesaid hole
in the side of the head and which runs through the shaft or handle also through
the two sides of the hammer and other instruments heads. One side of the aforesaid
hole will be countersunk to receive the head of the screw making it flush when fixed
with the side of the hammer and other instruments heads. Of course I do not tie
myself to use a screw for the purpose of running through the hammer or other
instruments heads shafts or handles for the purpose of fastening and securing same
for instance I may use a bolt pin rivet or any other suitable devise that will answer
the purpose as aforesaid.
