PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Detachable Handles for Saws.
I, WILLIAM ADAMSON BRAMLEY of Kaeo, Whangaroa, Province of Auckland,
New Zealand, Contractor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
--
This invention relates to a detachable handle socket for cross-cut and other like
saws, so constructed that it can be instantly attached to or removed from the saw.
For this purpose I propose to make the socket which receives the wood bandle,
somewhat similar in form to those in use, being in sheet steel folded over and the
two sides rivetted together with a distance piece between, leaving a space for the
entrance of the saw.
Through the sides of the socket in the saw space, I make a slot or hole, and a
corresponding hole is made through the end of saw to receive the end of a removable
catch bolt.
On one side of the socket 1 fix a short lever supported near the centre upon an
axis or pin passing through a bracket; one end of the lever terminates in a catch
bolt which can pass through the slot or opening before mentioned, and under the
opposite end of the lever is a spring, its action being to keep the catch bolt in
position.
When this end of the lever and the spring are depressed the catch bolt is with-
drawn and the saw is released.
Instead of one hole and one bolt, the end of lever may be formed with two bolts
to fit into two corresponding holes.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Detachable Handles for Saws.
I, WILLIAM ADAMSON BRAMLEY of Kaeo, Whangaroa, Province of Auckland,
New Zealand, Contractor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manuer the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a detachable handle socket for cross-cut and other like
saws, so constructed that it can be instantly attached to or removed from the saw.
The annexed sheet of drawings illustrates the invention.
Fig. 1, is a side elevation of the appliance.
Fig. 2, plan of same.
In carrying out my invention I make the socket A, which receives the wood
handle, somewhat similar in form to those in use preferably being of sheet steel
folded over to desired form, and the two sides B', B', rivetted together with a
distance piece C, between them thus leaving a space for the entrance of the saw.
Through the sides of the socket in the saw space, I make a slot or hole D, and a
corresponding hole is made through the end of saw to receive the end of a removable
catch bolt E.
On one side of the socket I fix a short lever F, supported near the centre upon
an axis or pin G, passing through a bracket H, one end of the lever F, terminates
na catch bolt E, which can pass through the slot or opening D, before mentioned,

page_text: catch bolt E, in position.
When this end of the lever and the spring are depressed the catch bolt is with-
drawn and the saw is released.
Instead of one hole and one bolt, the end of lever may be formed with two bolts 5
to fit into two corresponding holes.
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-A detachable handle for saws consisting of a socket A, formed with two
extended side plates B', and B2, between which the saw blade fits, a bracket H
supporting a lever F, provided with a spring I, and a hook or bolt E, passing
through the side plates substantially as described and shown in the drawings.
2-A detachable handle for saws, having a spring retained hook or bolt which
passes through the handle and the saw and which can be released by pressure of the 1
hand, substantially as described.
Dated the 10th day of November 1892.
