343,839	Aug. 07, 1934	Clutch	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ	This is the Canadian equivalent of US patent 1,930,319.
1,996,825	Apr. 09, 1935	Tiltable table support for tablesaws, etc.	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ	This patent date was seen on a Walker-Turner 16-inch metal cutting bandsaw, model number MBN1105.
2,008,673	Jul. 23, 1935	Power-driven tool	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ	This patent is for under-table mechanicals of a small tablesaw. The design was used on the Walker-Turner TA-925 tablesaw and other similar models.

2,054,518	Sep. 15, 1936	Hold-down guard for jointers	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ	Seen on Walker-Turner 6-inch jointer, model 6520-1.
2,072,646	Mar. 02, 1937	Drill press spindle drive and mounting	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ	This patent number has been seen on both Walker-Turner and Rockwell drill presses.
2,085,131	Jun. 29, 1937	Jointer fence	Herbert E. Tautz	Milwaukee, WI	This end-locking mechanism for a jointer fence was used by Delta on their 6-inch jointer, and was apparently also used by Walker-Turner, because the patent number is listed in a Walker-Turner jointer manual.
2,089,808	Aug. 10, 1937	Sanding machine	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ	This patent was used on Walker-Turner's SM900 belt and disc surfacer.
2,116,122	May. 03, 1938	Machine tool	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ	This invention relates to "removable routing assemblies and improvements in the mounting of routing machine spindles."
2,116,123	May. 03, 1938	Jigsaw	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ	This patent "has for a primary object to render available a machine tool which includes the combined functions of a number of cooperating machines and which may be readily converted from one type of machine to another with the ease and rapidity essential in certain arts. In the production of printing plates, for example, an operator frequently is obliged to rout out an area or section from the top of a combined wood and metal plate and then trim off or remove a full section of the plate. Heretofore, operations of that character required two machines, one for sawing and one for routing and in consequence a great amount of time was consumed in moving the work from one machine to another. With the aid of the present invention, however, routing and sawing, and analogous operations may be performed upon the one machine without idle or wasted time between operations." The original application was divided into two, and this patent's companion is patent 2,116,122.
2,131,492	Sep. 27, 1938	Tilting arbor table saw	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ	"This present invention relates to power saw machines and particularly to an improved means for adjusting the relation between the saw and the work supporting surface of the table to obtain proper alignment, depth of cut, and angle of cut." This invention was subsequently improved in patent 2,261,696.
2,153,502	Apr. 04, 1939	Apparatus for bench grinding long blades	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ
2,165,002	Jul. 04, 1939	Tensioning means for running jigsaw	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ	Seen on W-T 24-inch Driver Line scrollsaw.
2,191,410	Feb. 20, 1940	Jigsaw blade support and work hold-down	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ	See also patent 2,116,123.
391,285	Sep. 10, 1940	Inertia eliminator	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ	This patent number is reported on the motor-and-gearing housing of a Walker-Turner radial arm saw. See also U.S. patent 2,236,854.
2,236,854	Apr. 01, 1941	Inertia eliminator	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ	This patent number is reported on the motor-and-gearing housing of a Walker-Turner radial arm saw. "This device relates to high speed power transmission and particularly to a device for preventing the breaking of gears incident to a sudden accidental stopping of the driven part. In motor driven geared saws the condition that the present invention undertakes to meet is well illustrated, for in the operation of such machines, all of the factors that heretofore resulted in the breaking of gears in the drive between the saw mandrel and the motor are present. When sawing through a relatively wide plank, for example, the operator holds the plank against the mitre gauge at one side of the line of cut and endeavors to hold and guide that portion of the plank on the other side of the line of cut, freehand, After the saw is part way through the plank, certain very definite forces are released in the plank and the opposed end portions thereof tend to close upon and stop the same." A Walker-Turner radial saw motor housing lists three patent numbers: this one, Canadian patent 391,285, and British patent 527,508.
2,261,696	Nov. 04, 1941	Tilting saw	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ	"This present invention relates to motor driven tilting arbor saws and concerns more particularly improvements in adjustable saw tables of the character disclosed in my prior patent 2,131,492."

460,115	Oct. 04, 1949	Saw guard	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	South Plainfield, NJ	See US patent 2,466,325.
D164,649	Sep. 25, 1951	Band saw	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	Plainfield, NJ
477,880	Oct. 16, 1951	Safety guards for power saws	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	South Plainfield, NJ
2,695,637	Nov. 30, 1954	Band sawing machine	William Ferdinand Ocenasek	South Plainfield, NJ	This patent number was listed in a 1965 catalog of machinery from Rockwell Mfg. Co.
