Tire Bolter and Cutter
|
Vestal Reynolds |
Marion, Grant County, IN |
The tool includes interchangeable sockets with internal springs to hold the nuts tight against the bolt, a spur on the lever handle to hold the bolt firmly while the nut is tightened or removed, reversible gearing so normal crank rotation will either tighten or loosen a nut, and a clipper to trim excess from a bolt after the nut is tightened.
As noted in the Dec. 1902 MODERN MACHINERY, Marion Tool moved to a new plant at Upper Sandusky, OH. By 1903, the National Steam Pump Co. of Upper Sandusky, OH was the manufacturer. In 1921, the House Cold Tire Setter Co. of St. Louis, MO purchased the Reynolds Tire Bolter from National Steam Pump Co.
The example shown in picture No. 3 has a complete set of sockets, and was displayed with a light buggy wheel to demonstrate how it was used. |

Cold-tire-shrinking machine
|
Samuel N. House |
Dallas, TX |
"It is known to me that all of the different cold-tire-shrinking machines of this kind which have been invented up to this time are not sufficient in strength to shrink the heavy tires of large wagons, floats, and other vehicles, so the said machines are only used to shrink the tires for light vehicles, and it is the object of my invention to overcome this difficulty and provide a machine which will have sufficient leverage and strength to shrink the tires of the heaviest vehicles..."
By late 1903 the inventor was in St. Louis and manufacturing his invention under the name S. N. House. In 1904 the business incorporated as the House Cold Tire Setter Co., and remained in business until at least 1921. |

Tenoning-machine
|
Samuel N. House |
St. Louis, MO |
An example of this patent tenoner was seen in a Martin J. Donnelly auction. It's not clear whether it was labeled with House's name or if the auction description took that information from the patent. We know that House was operating the House Cold Tire Setter Co. at the time, and most likely that firm manufactured this tenoner, although that name does not appear on the tenoners. |

Tenon-Cutter
|
Samuel N. House |
St. Louis, MO |
An example of this patent tenon cutter is reported. Other than the patent date (on the end of the adjusting screw) and scale markings the only text is "The Kelly Jr." The inventor owned and operated the House Cold Tire Setter Co., and searching on that name uncovered a 1912 ad for the Kelly Jr. hollow auger from the House Cold Tire Setter Co. Note that this ad is from before the patent application so this patent is for an improved version that nevertheless strongly resembles the device shown in the ad. |
