Saw
|
Joseph H. Tuttle |
Seneca, NY |
Extended 7 years. Reciprocating sawblade that cuts in both directions. Besides the reissue, this design was improved in patent 118,198. The manufacture by Wheeler, Clemson & Madden is inferred from the assignees of the reissue. The manufacture by E. C. Atkins comes from an 1858 Atkins ad that says they are "Manufacturer of J. H. Tuttle's patent cross-cut saw." |

Improvement in Saw Jointers and Gages
|
Robert E. Poindexter |
Anderson, IN |
Poindexter's first saw jointer patent that would span nearly 30 years of improvements. Utilizes a block of wood with a gage plate mounted to it. This patent was subsequently improved in his Patent No. 164,762 which eliminated the wood block and resulted in a cast frame. |

Theodore A. McDonald |

An example of a somewhat similar gage has surfaced, bearing this patent date and the name of E. C. Atkins & Co. An 1894 Atkins catalog shows the "Hamlet Dimension Gauge", which pointed us to another patent that exactly matches the example. See patent 287,124. |

Saw-table gage
|
John H. Hamlet |
Indianapolis, IN |
This invention was exhibited at the 1883 Indiana State Fair where it received positive reviews. It was manufactured by E. C. Atkins & Co., appearing in their 1894 catalog as the "Hamlet Dimension Gage". An example has surfaced that closely matches this patent. Strangely, though, the example bears a "FEB. 20 1883" patent date, which may correspond to a vaguely similar tablesaw gauge from another Indiana inventor: see patent 272,734. |

Saw-tooth-swaging device
|
Sarah A. Parke |
Bay City, MI |
This patent was the subject of a lawsuit by E. C. Atkins & Co. against the inventor and Amos S. Parke (see also patent 390,164). Briefly, Amos, as Sarah's attorney, signed a contract with the plaintiff giving them an exclusive license to manufacture and sell this saw swage everywhere in the country except California, Oregon and Washington. However, beginning January 29, 1889, Amos Parkes manufactured and sold swaging machines based on the pateent. The Parkes claimed that the plaintiff had failed to fill orders for saw swaging machines and had therefore voided the contract so the defendants were no longer bound by the terms of the contract. They argued that E. C. Atkins & Co. was also "interested" in the Hinkley swage (see patent 373,740) and was not acting in good faith in dealing with the Parkes. The original ruling was for the Parkes but this was reversed on appeal; see link. |

Saw Swaging Machine
|
George S. Black |
Indianapolis, Marion County, IN |
Abstract:
The object of my said invention is to produce a machine by which mill-saws of various to kinds may be conveniently swaged.
Claim:
The combination, in a saw-swaging machine, of the frame, the saw-support, and the dies, said saw-support being divided, and one part being adjustable on the other, whereby the groove which receives the back of the saw play be adjusted to fit the thickness of the saw being operated upon, substantially as set forth. In a saw-swaging machine, the combination of the frame, saw-support, and male and female dies, the female dlie being recessed to receive the saw-teeth, and the male die being in the form of a cam. |

Warren L. Raynes |
Montezuma, IN |
This sawmill dog was featured on page 108 of E. C. Atkins & Co.'s 1894 catalog. "Atkins' patent saw mill dogs. Rapidity and safety in operating, simplicity, strength, durability and economy." It was available in single and duplex models, the difference being that the single had a dog on the top of the log and the duplex had dogs both on top and beneath the log. Price was $30 and $50, respectively. |

Saw Screw
|
Charles Glover |
Hartford, CT |
The primary focus of this patent is on the two-part construction of the saw medallion ("label screw"). In a sense, it can be seen as an improvement on Munger's patent (U.S.P.N 98180), which had no provision for preventing the shaft from twisting independent of the head if the swaged fit failed. The large show surface of Glover's medallion, in conjunction with the shoulder beneath it, allowed for the addition of longitudinal ribs on the shaft of the screw to resist turning.
The medallion (figures 2, 3 & 4) and the saw screw (figure 5) shown in Glover's patent drawings both feature the internally threaded construction patented by Henry Disston in 1876 (U.S.P.N. 181648). This form displaces the through screw and "split nut" arrangement which had been the norm. Glover's saw screw differs from Disston's by being formed in a die rather than being cast and having longitudinal ribs on the shaft rather than a square section to resist turning. Also, though not specified in the patent, the shafts of Glover's saw nuts were of stouter construction. Glover's form eventually superseded Disston's.
Saw medallions with this patent date have been found on saws from a wide variety of saw manufacturers. |

Sisson's patent saw gummer is seen on page 85 of E. C. Atkins & Co.'s 1894 catalog. This patent improves on Sisson's patent 251,303 and it seems likely that Romer Bros. manufactured both versions. |

|
Dexter N. Hurd |
Kokomo, IN |
A method of constructing a sawblade that is thick in the middle, i.e., the part of the blade that never enters the wood, and of thinner and uniform thickness for the rest of the blade. It appears in an 1894 catalog from E. C. Atkins & Co. as the "Kerf King" saw. |

Milling-machine
|
John A. Gregg |
Bay City, MI |
This milling machine seems to have been the basis for a machine specialized for scarfing bandsaw blades that was sold by E. C. Atkins & Co., and we assume was made by them. See also patent 415,281, granted to Amos S. Parke. |

Saw-scarfing machine
|
Amos S. Parke |
Bay City, MI |
This machine strongly resembles "The Eureka Scarfer, or lapping machine for band saws" as seen in an 1894 catalog from E. C. Atkins & Co.; that machine is clearly labeled, "EUREKA PAT. SEPT. 25 1888". The most likely candidate patent for that date is patent 390,164, which is for a milling machine and was assigned, in part, to our inventor, Amos S. Parke. In any event, we attribute this patent to Atkins. |

The 1887 patent 363,730, co-granted to Buch, was assigned to E. C. Atkins & Co. and so we assume that Atkins manufactured these dogs as well. |

The April 1904 issue of Carpentry & Building carried a small display ad for this saw, from "Jones & Dommersnas, 31 & 33 Indiana St., Chicago." A lawsuit gives their business name as Jones & Dommersnas Co., which is how it is rendered here in the Manufacturer field. The above-mentioned lawsuit, Jones & Dommersnas Co. v. Crary, provides insight into the licensing of this patent. See link. |

My present invention is a development of my prior Patent No. 1,179,556..." |
