COMPLETE
SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Bench Holder for Wood Carvers and Joiners.
I, ALFRED EDWIN SHORE, of 3 Brandon Terrace, Wharf Hill, Winchester, in
the County of Hampshire, Wood Carver, 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:—
My invention relates to an improved bench holder for wood carvers and joiners.
The apparatus is for the use of wood carvers and joiners for fastening panels or
other work to a bench. It will be seen by the illustrations that it comprises a fly-
nut, double-threaded screw, and clamp, and is quite complete in itself. Not only
will carvers find it a most useful article, but also cabinet makers and others in the
trade, for holding lengths of moulding or anything small to a bench while at work
on them.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, represents the bottom of the plate.
Fig. 2, is an elevation of the plate fly-nut and screw holding an article to a bench.
The dotted lines indicate the bench surface.
Like letters refer to like parts throughout the views.
This invention consists of a metallic curved or bent plate a with spikes h at one
end to go into the bench and roughed at the other end to hold the work. In or near
the centre of the plate a I form a countersunk hole, and in this said hole I pass a
wood screw g with a shoulder and above this said shoulder is a metal or machine
thread d with a square head c and on the metal thread d I screw a fly-nut f
the wings of which have square holes e to correspond with the square screw
head c.

page_text: The object of this invention is to hold work 6 rigidly to a bench, which is
accomplished by screwing the wood screw g to the bench and fixing the curved
plate a by means of the fly-nut f and spikes h.
Either of the square holes e in the wings of the fly-nut is to fit on the square
heade for the purpose of fixing the wood screw g in a bench or the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :--
1. In a bench holder, the combination of the bent plate a roughed at one end
and the spikes with the wood screw g with a shoulder and machine screw d,
square head c and fly-nut, substantially as herein described and for the purpose
specified.
2. In a bench holder, the plate a with spikes at one end and roughed at the
other end with countersunk hole, substantially as herein described and according to
the accompanying drawing.
3. In a bench holder, the wood screw g with a shoulder and machine thread d
square head c and fly-uut with holes e in the wings, substantially as herein
described and according to the accompanying drawing.
Dated this 15th day of February 1894.
