T, JOHN BLOOR of 11, Ajax Street, Newton Heath, Nr. Manchester in the County. of
Lancaster, Joiner do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:
It consists in making the stamping handle in an improved form, which I accomplish
in the following manner:
I place or form across each end a raised piece of wood or other suitable material,
and connect them at each side of the stamping handle by means of a slip or rod of
wood or other suitable material one end of which rests upon each end piece. Between
these two slips or rods I insert one or more metal carriers according to the number of
blocks used, each of these metal carriers is furnished with one or more wedges, which
are inserted from the side across the stamping handle and beneath the slips or rods
before mentioned.
By means of these wedges I am enabled to fix the carriers in any position on the
stamping handle and entirely do away with blanks.

page_text: 1, JOHN BLOOR of 53A Bloom Street Manchester late of 11 Ajax Street, Newton
Heath, Nr. Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Joiner, do hereby declare the
nature of this Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be par-
ticularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
It consists in making the stamping handle in an improved form, which I accomplish
in the following manner:
I place, or form, at and across each end of the handle, a raised piece or projection of
wood or other suitable material, and connect them by two or more parallel slips, or
rods, of wood, or other suitable material, one end of each of which rests upon or other-
wise joins, and is fastened, to, each end piece.
Between these two slips, or rods, I insert one or more metal carriers, according to
the number of blocks used, one, or if necessary, more, metal carriers being attached to
each block. The metal carriers are made of sufficient length to project beyond the
side of the slips or rods, opposite to that upon which the blocks are placed, this pro-
jection is provided with a slot of suitable shape, in which a suitably. shaped wedge is
placed, this wedge is inserted from the side across the handle, and binds upon the slips
or rods, beforementioned.
By means of the wedges the blocks can be fixed in any desired position upon the
handle, and the use of blanks heretofore almost indispensable is entirely dispensed
with.
In order that the foregoing may be better understood, I send herewith a sheet of
Drawings in which :—
Fig. 1 is a side view, Fig. 2 a cross section, and Fig. 3 a view from beneath of the
apparatus a a indicating the two parallel rods, or slips b, the metal carrier, secured by
wedge e the block being screwed or otherwise attached to the carrier b.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :—
1st. The combination of two, or more parallel slips or rods, with metal carriers and
wedges; substantially as described and shown hereinbefore and in the accompanying
Drawing, for the purpose set forth.
2nd. The apparatus, substantially as described and shown hereinbefore and in the
accompanying drawing for the purpose set forth.
