Extract from Specification.—According to my invention,
I fix upon the end of a power-driven spindle a jaw or socket
in which is pivoted a flexible arm, preferably made of one or
a series of thicknesses of flat steel plate, which permits said
arm to twist under torsional strain. Instead of flat steel
plates a spiral spring may be used. At its opposite end the
arm is loosely connected to a jaw, upon which is pivoted a
clip-socket adapted to fit over the eye of the handle of the
machine, or, when said handle is removed, upon the spindle of
the machine. A pin, which may be spring-retained, prevents
the socket from becoming accidentally disconnected from the
handle or spindle.

of the gearing parts thereof will pass down through the oil
and will lift and distribute it over the other parts.
