Description: |
The patent shows a hand punch based on Bernard's earlier punch patent (pat. no. 427,497). The drawings show a narrow slot type punch. The drawings and specifications describe a tension spring within one handle which would help open the jaws. This spring is the main focus of the patent; it also appears in later Bernard patents.
The patent is cited by date on a "SHADE PUNCH AND EYELET SET" listed in a 1913 H.L. JUDD Co. catalog.
The patent is mentioned as suited for a specialized staple setter in patent no. 1,274,234. |
