Description: |
| "My invention consists of an improved socket for bench-plates, adapted to receive and hold staking-tools, shears, &c., designed for the use of tinsmiths, coppersmiths, and others, self-adjusting to tools varying in size and taper of shank to a considerable degree, and holding them firmly and securely. This the ordinary bench-plate will not do, allowing, as it does in almost every case, a large degree of 'wabble' to the tools, unless they have been specially fitted in each case, and then, even, they will inevitably loosen by wear." |
