HANDLE FOB SOLDERING=IRONS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 393,444, dated November 2'7, 1888.

Serial No. 165,530. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN J. liIURRAY, a citizen of the United States, residing at 3524 Haverford street, in the city of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Fire-Proof Handle to be used on Soldering-Irons, Files, Rasps, Wood Chisels &c.,of which the following is a description.

The ordinary wooden handle used on soldering-irons becomes charred and burned by the heated iron, and soon splits and is rendered useless.

The objectof my invention is to so protect the wood as to prevent it from being burned and split.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a sectional view of my improved handle, and Fig. 2 an elevation of same.

My invention has for its object to prevent the oharring and burning of soldering-iron handles, which invariably occurs when the wooden handle is attached direct to the iron itself.

My invention, accordingly, consists of the combination, construction, and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter described and claimed.

ln the drawings, A represents a solderingiron, of which 0 is the handle, a the stem, a the point, and B the casting, which I place be tween the handle 0 and stem at to protect the former. The casting B has a recess, If, into which is inserted the stem a. At the bottom of casting B is a flange, 1, into which tits one end of the handle 0. In the bottom of the recess or seat 1), between the part b of casting B and the flange b, I place asbestus or other material which is a non conductor of heat. The part b of casting B changes at 1) into the stem 0, which projects beyond the handle 0, in order toallow the nut b to be placed thereon. I do not confine myself to a nut, as a 'rivet or other contrivance may be used, as

, and in the ferrule, means at the outer end of the tube and bearing on the end of the handle for securing these parts together, and a device for holding the toolshank within the tube and ferrule, as set forth.

3. A tool-handle comprising a tube and ferrule in one piece, a hollow handle on the tube and in the ferrule, means at the outer end of 60 the tube and bearing upon the end of the haudle for securing these parts together. and a set-screw passing through the cylindrical base of the tube and ferrule, as set forth.
