PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION,
A Flooring Cramp.
WILLIAM BRACEWELL Blacksmith No. 100 Sandy Gate Burnley Lancashire &
EDWARD BRACEWELL Blacksmith No. 100 Sandy Gate Burnley Lancashire. We
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
The flooring cramp is of an L shape or an angle, with a circular inside corner,
and round balls being put to use in a flooring cramp, and the mode they are placed
and worked, by screw B being screwed into the end of Lor angle pipe A, which
pushes round the circular corner the balls C, and the balls C, pushing out at the
end of the elbow pipe A, ram D, which presses the timber or iron, and closes all the
boards, and ram D having asl ot hole in it and pin H goes through the end of pipe A,
and the slot hole in ram D, which guides ram D straight and keeps it from slipping
out of the end of pipe A.
A is an elbow pipe, with a circular bend, and outside the circular bend there is a
corner plate which forms a square corner, and a lug on each side with slot holes in.
B is a screw with a handle, C are round balls. D is a ram with a slot hole in the
middle, and a T head. E is a she centre, with a shank on it, and a nut on the end.
F is an eccentric jaw, with teeth in, and a handle at one end. G is a stud with a
square shank on it, and a nut at one end. H is a flat pin.
A is an elbow pipe, with a circular bend. B is a screw with a handle, that
screws into the end of pipe A, which shoves round the circular bend the balls C.
And balls C shoves out at the other end of pipe A ram D. And ram D has a long
slot hole in the middle, and pin H goes through the end of pipe A, and the slot hole
in ram D, which guides ram D straight and keeps it froin slipping out of the end of
pipe A. Also ram D has a T head which presses against the timber or iron. E is
a she centre, that is fixed through the slot hole of the right lug on pipe A, with a
shank, and a nut. She centre E and eccentric jaw F, clips the joist. And she
centre E, is pressed to the joist, by the eccentric jaw F, by pulling at the handle on
jaw F. And jaw F having teeth in, which sticks on the joist when the cramp is
in motion. And the eccentric jaw has a hole through the other end, which works
on the stud G. And the stud G is fixed through the slot hole of the left lug on
pipe A with a nut.
Having now particularly described and ascertained, the nature of our inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
The flooring cramp forming an shape or an angle with a circular inside corner,
and the round balls being put to use in a flooring cramp, and the mode they are
placed and worked by screw B being screwed into the end of L or angle pipe A
which pushes round the circular corner the balls C, and the balls C pushing out at
the end of the elbow pipe A, ram D, which presses to the timber or iron, and closes
all the boards, and ram D having a slot in it, and pin H goes through the end of
pipe A. and the slot hole in ram D, which guides rain D straight, and keeps it from
slipping out of the end of pipe A.
