Year: 1875

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Alfred James New and Reuben Alexander
Matthews, Engineers' Tool Makers, of Nottingham, and William
Henry Berry, Engineer, of Nottingham, for the Invention of
IMPROVEMENTS IN TOOL HOLDERS AND CUTTING TOOLS MADE FROM SPECIAL
SECTIONS OF STEEL FOR TURNING, PLANING, SHAPING, SLOTTING, AND FOR
66
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Alfred James New,.
Reuben Alexander Matthews, and William Henry Berry at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with their Petition, on the
9th December 1875.
We, ALFRED JAMES NEW and REUBEN ALEXANDER MATTHEWS,
Engineers' Tool Makers, of Nottingham, and WILLIAM HENRY BERRY,
Engineer, of Nottingham, do hereby declare the nature of the said
Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN TOOL HOLDERS AND CUTTING TOOLS MADE
FROM SPECIAL SECTIONS OF STEEL FOR TURNING, PLANING, SHAPING, SLOTTING,

page_text: "
AND FOR CUTTING AND SHAPING METALS AND OTHER MATERIALS,' to be as
follows:-
Our Invention relates to tool holders arranged for cutting tools, which
can be readily secured, replaced, or adjusted therein.
First. Our tool holder is adapted for holding securely in a rectangular
tapered slot a right-hand or left-hand cutting tool at suitable and fixed
cutting angles. These tools are secured firmly by a serrated wedge and
clamps held down by a swivel bolt and nut; also for holding in suitable
tapered slots a straight tool and a cross tool cutting on either side at
right angles. These tools are secured firmly by clamps held down by
swivel bolt and nut. This holder is adapted for using our special
sections or round or square steel.
Secondly. Our Invention further consists of three special sections of
steel, which may be made to any size required. These sections of steel
can be formed into uniform, angular, or round-nosed tools for right or
left-hand cutting. From these special sections we can advantageously
and expeditiously produce a variety of tools suitable for various cutting
purposes, and particularly adapted for the rectangular tapered slot in
our holder. From the same uniform bar of steel tools can be cut in
suitable lengths, and then without being forged ground to a proper
cutting angle for the several purposes required. Further, the novel
shape of these special sections when placed in our holder give a positive
and fixed angle for cutting.

page_text: Alexander Matthews, and William Henry Berry, Her special license
that we, the said Alfred James New, Reuben Alexander Matthews, and
William Henry Berry, our executors, administrators, and assigns, or
such others as we, the said Alfred James New, Reuben Alexander
Matthews, and William Henry Berry, our executors, administrators, and
assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time
and at all times thereafter during the term therein expressed, should
and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle
of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN TOOL HOLDERS. AND CUTTING
TOOLS MADE FROM SPECIAL SECTIONS OF STEEL FOR TURNING, PLANING, SHAPING,
SLOTTING, AND FOR CUTTING AND SHAPING METALS AND OTHER MATERIALS," upon
the condition (amongst others) that we, the said Alfred James New,
Reuben Alexander Matthews, and William Henry Berry, or one of us,
our executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under our,
or one of our, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly
describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what
manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed
in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and
immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that we, the said Alfred James New, Reuben
Alexander Matthews, and William Henry Berry, do hereby declare the
nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement thereof, that is to say:-
-
Our Invention relates to tool holders arranged for cutting tools, which
can be readily secured, replaced, or adjusted therein.

The tapered slots B and C in Figure 1 are adapted for holding cutters
severed from a bar of steel of uniform section, but thicker upon one edge
than the other, as shewn in section, Figure 25.
Having now described the nature of our said Invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, we declare that we claim,―
Firstly. The constructions of the tool holder, as herein-before described
and illustrated by Drawing, Figures 1, 2, 3, 4.
Secondly. The three special sections of steel, particularly adapted for
the rectangular tapered slot of our tool holder, as herein-before described
and illustrated by Drawing, Figures 11, 12, and 13.
In witness whereof, we, the said Alfred James New, Reuben
Alexander Matthews, and William Henry Berry, have hereunto
set our hands and seals, this Third day of June, One thousand
