| Description: |  | Though Swan references his earlier bit-extender 759042, this patent differs by replacing a toothed lever with a spring-loaded catch which is pressed firmly into contact with the notched tang of the bit by turning a threaded sleeve down on the head of the device. This bit-extender was being offered by the James Swan Company at least as late as 1920. |  |
