Description: |
| This invention relates to "the class of handles used in connection with tools having a socket for receiving the tapering shank of the handle, such as socket-chisels. The object of this invention is to provide a light, strong and inexpensive handle which cushions the blows received by the same, so as to protect the tool from injury and breakage..." Most of the handle is made of wood; the handle's shank and a section nearest the shank are made from a glued stack of leather washers. |
