The object of making the handles readily detachable is
that in operating upon small work and in a limited space
one or both handles can be removed and the work done with
ease and facility. I deem this a valuable feature in connection
with the form of the body of the tool and the absence
of all annoying projections or protuberances upon any
part of the surface of the body.
The present tool will work effectively in almost any
position and upon either flat or round surfaces.
Having now described my invention so that any person
skilled in the art may readily understand its form and
mode of operation, what I claim, and desire to secure
by Letters Patent of the United States, is
1. A spokeshave consisting of the body A, removable
handles B B, and circular cutter or knife C, and the
set-screws b b, adapted to secure in place the
cutter or knife C by pressure of the screw-heads upon
the edges of the same, substantially as and for the
purposes set forth.
2. In a spokeshave, the body A, circular knife C, arranged
and secured thereto, so that the chips or shavings pass
under said knife to the place of discharge, in combination
with detachable handles B, substantially as and for
the purposes set forth.
3. In a spokeshave, the circular knife or cutter C,
formed with a straight cutting-edge, and adapted to
be detachably secured to the body of the shave by suitable
means, as and for the purposes set forth.
4. In a spokeshave, the body A, straight circular knife
C, and set-screws b b, adapted to hold the said
knife to the body, combined as and for the purposes
set forth.
5. The combination of the body A with straight circular
knife suitably secured thereto, and the detachable handles
B B, substantially set forth and described.
6. In a spokeshave, the body A, with bevel x¹,
in combination with the circular knife or cutter C,
substantially as and for the purposes described.
7. In a spokeshave, the body A, provided with the rear
discharge-passage, x, in combination with a circular
knife or cutter having a straight cutting-edge and suitably
secured to said body, substantially as and for the purposes
described.
8. A spokeshave provided with a straight circular body
adapted to receive a straight circular knife or cutter,
and to discharge the chips or shavings under the said
knife or cutter and to the rear of the working-face,
all substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
9. In a spokeshave, the combination of the body A, provided
with the discharge opening x, formed by removing
a portion of the body, and having a face-bevel, x,
and circular knife formed with a straight cutting-edge
and adapted to be detachably secured to the said body,
substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
