To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ELTON P. KENDALL and AMBROSE S. VOSE, both citizens of the United States, residing at Windsor, in the county of Windsor and State of Vermont, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Beading-Tools; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a vertical longitudinal seotion. Fig. 2 is a plan view. Fig. 3 is a detail view.

This invention relates to improvements in tools for cutting the beads and grooves of moldings and rosettes, and is adapted to be used on either wood, stone, or iron.

The invention consists, essentially, in firmly binding, edge to edge, in a metallic block a number of bar-shaped cutters or chisels, the cutting ends of which are formed and arranged to constitute the reverse of the contour of the molding, or one-half of the contour of the rosette to be formed.

The invention further consists in the construction of the cutting-edges of the chisels hereinafter described.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by letter, A represents a block of iron or steel, having on one of its side surfaces a shallow rectangular recess or out-away portion, A’.

A2 is a rectangular vertical recess in the floor of the recess A’, adjoining one side thereof, and for a purpose hereinafter explained.

B B are similar handles extending laterally from the side edges of the block A, and B’ is a plate adapted to be secured to the block A by the screws b b, so as to cover the recess A’ and bind the chisels, hereinafter described, between itself and the block in said recess.

C C, &c., are bar-shaped cutters or chisels of steel, rectangular in section, and with their sides parallel, so as to lie in the recess A’ with their sides pressed equally at all points by the block and plate B’. Their edges are also parallel, so that they will be bound together by the pressure of the set-screw D, which passes through a threaded opening in the edge of the block below the handle B on the edge opposite the recess A2.

The ends of the chisels may be made concave, convex, rectilinear at various inclinations, or of any desired contour; but whatever the contour of the end, its surface forms at all points a right angle with each side, so that the end has two cutting edges, c c, each of which has a pitch of ninety degrees. By this means the chisels may make either a draw cut or a push cut, according to the direction in which the block is moved, (the inclination being varied to suit the direction,) and, to complete the contour of the moldings, would make a draw cut and a push alternately.

The chisels, as is evident, are longitudinally adjustable, either separately or together in the block, and preferably have both ends provided with cutting-edges, as shown.

C’ is a modification of the ends of the chisels. In this case the vertical section of the end shows a U-shaped contour, the edges having a less pitch than ninety degrees.

One of the cutting-edges c may, if desired, be provided with the ricks c’ c’, to adapt it for certain kinds of work.

E is a bit having a rectangular shaft, e, and provided with the centering-point e’ and head e2’ on its lower and upper end, respectively. The shaft of the bit is held in the recess A2 by the plate B’, and its head is held for insertion into a brace or bit stock by which the bit and consequently the block and chisels are turned when forming a rosette. When the tool is used for moldings, the bit is removed and a rectangular shaft of the same diameter inserted in its place, against which shaft the chisels abut.

F is a gage-square laterally adjustable on the block by means of a proper slot and the set-screw f. The square is set so that its foot f’ will rest against the top or bottom of the molding and bring the chisels to the desired place. When turning rosettes,the gage-square is detached.

It is evident from the foregoing that any contour of molding or rosette may be formed by selecting the proper chisels and adjusting them to proper positions in the block A. Rosettes or moldings of different widths may be formed by binding on the block a greater or less number of chisels.

Having thus described this invention, what we claim is —

1. The improved beading-tool herein described, consisting of the holder-block A, recessed as shown, to receive the cutters, and having the recess E to receive the centering-bit, the plate or bar B’, adapted to secure the cutters and bit in their respective seats, and the set-screw D, passing through the threaded aperture in the holder-block to bind the cutters together, substantially as specified.

2. In a beading-tool, the combination, with the holder-block having the transverse recess to seat the cutters, of the plate B’, adapted to secure the cutters therein, and provided with a recess to receive a gage-square, the gage-square F, arranged at right angles to the cutters in the said recess, and the screw f, for adjustably securing the same therein, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, O. E. WILLIAMS and L. V. POOLE, of Windsor, in the county of Windsor and State of Vermont, have invented an Improved Hand-Beader, of which the following is a specification.

The special object of the invention is to make the tool and holder conveniently adjustable to either side of a stationary guide, so that it may be adapted to suit the grain of the wood and make central beadings in thick boards. This object is accomplished by constructing and combining the parts of a header, as hereinafter described.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a plan view; Fig. 2, a central cross-section; Fig. 3, a detail view of the cutter plate or holder, and Fig. 4 a detail view of the guide-piece. Fig. 5 shows a combination of cutters.

In the drawings, A represents the two-handed stock provided with the longitudinal groove a; B, the cutter plate holder having the longitudinal slot b to be arranged over the groove a. It also has a downwardly-extending flange, b’, to prevent lateral displacement and holes b2 b2 near the ends, so as to be secured to the stock by clamp-screws C C.

D is the cutter-plate, and E the cutter-disk, the latter clamped to the former by the thumb-nut e, headed screw e’, and washer e2. The screw e’ is passed with its point up through the slot D, while the opposite parallel sides of its head are within the groove and rest upon the ledges b3 b3. Thus it will be seen that the screw is locked so that it cannot turn, but can be slid along when the nut is loosened.

F is the guide, which is provided with a right-angled arm, f that is held by a screw, f’, to the stock A.

By loosening the nut e the cutter-disk and cutter-plate may be slid so as to bring the beader-points on either side of the guide F, as may be desired.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a full understanding of our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is —

A hand-beader having a stock or handle that has a longitudinal groove in its upper side, a fixed guide secured near the center of stock on the front of it, a metal plate secured to the stock on its upper side and having a longitudinal slot corresponding with the groove in the stock and fitting over it, a screw with its head resting loosely in said groove and under said plate with its shank passing up through the slot in the plate, a cutter-plate and a cutting-disk resting successively above said metal plate, each having an opening to receive the shank of the screw, and a thumb-nut engaging the end of the screw, whereby the clamps may be so adjusted as to bring the beading-points on either side of the guide, as set forth.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 313,617, dated March 10, 1885.
Application filed November 28, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, LAWRENCE V. POOLE and ORLANDO E. WILLIAMS, citizens of the United States, residing at Windsor, in the county of Windsor and State of Vermont, have invented a new and useful Tool for Making Beadings or Moldings, and that, according to our knowledge and belief, the same has not been in public use or on sale in the United States for more than two years prior to this application, and that the following is a specification thereof.

The objects of our invention are, first, to provide a means for making beadings or moldings on wood or other materials of different shapes and sizes with the same tool; second, to provide facilities for the proper adjustment and manipulation of the cutting-plate by which the beadings or moldings are formed. Work can be done with this tool, which now requires an expensive set of planes, and beadings or moldings can easily be fornied on irregular surfaces where it is not practicable to do such work with the planes now used for such purposes. We attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which —

Figure 1 is a view in elevation of the tool ready for use. Fig. 2 is a section of the tool on the line a a, showing its parts. Fig. 3 is a view of the washer shown at C. Fig. 4 is a view of the screw shown at D. Fig. 5 is a view of the nut shown at E.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

A A is a handle or stock, made of wood or metal, and which may be made to be used with one hand or both, to which the cutting-plate B is attached by the screw D, nut E, and washer C.

A’ is a notch or recess in the body of the stock A A, to which the form of cutter desired to be used is turned when the tool is used.

B B is a cutting-plate, made of metal, which may be round, square, or many~sided, as desired, by which the beadings or moldings are formed, the various shapes of beadings or moldings desired being cut into the edge of the plate, as shown at the points marked X.

C is a washer, of metal, placed between the nut E and plate B,for the purpose of giving a firm bearing on the plate B. This washer may be dispensed with, if desired, and the bearing made directly by the thumb-screw E.

D is a screw passing through the handle A A, plate B, and washer C into the nut E.

E is a nut working on the screw D, by which the plate B is held in the position desired.

The tool is used in much the same manner as an ordinary shave or scraper; the form on the plate B which it is desired to make, having been placed in position at the recess A’, is pressed firmly onto the wood or metal where the bead or molding is desired, and worked back and forth till the bead or molding is cut to the desired depth.

We are aware that prior to our invention beadings or moldings have been cut by plates of metal in the edge of which the shape desired had been cut; and we do not therefore claim broadly the invention of that manner of making beadings or moldings; but

What we do claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is —

I. ln a hand-beader, the tool-stock perforated centrally for a screw-clamp, having the tool-seat around said perforation, and provided with an angular recess, A’, the latter arranged in a plane at right angles to the plane of the seat, as shown, and for the purpose described.

2. A hand-beader having two diametrically-opposite handles, an intermediate centrally-perforated stock provided with recess A’, and a suitable screw-clamp, the tool-seat being arranged around said perforation, as shown, and for the purpose set forth.

BENCH-PLANE GAGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 228,766, dated June 15, 1880.
Application filed April 15, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CYRUS KINNEY, of Windsor, Essex county, Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented an Improvement in Bench-Plane Gages, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to that class of gages for bench-planes which is specially adapted to be used when squaring or beveling the material; and the invention consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter more fully described, and then pointed out in the claims.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a plane-stock with my improvement attached. Fig 2 is a vertical cross-section, showing my device adjusted to bevel the work, and in dotted lines as set to form a square, and as folded up against the side of the stock.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, A represents a plane-stock, to the left-hand side of which I rigidly secure a plate, B. To this plate B, I pivotally secure the angle-iron C, to the free end of which is rigidly secured the gage-plate D.

A thumb-screw, a, having a flat head, passing through the slot b in the angle-iron is tapped into a nut, c, rigidly secured in the side of the plane-stock, and a similar screw, d, is tapped through the angle-iron, as shown, the inner end of which is designed to impinge against the face of the plane. This arrangement of the adjusting-screws allows of a nicety and firmness of adjustment not usually attainable in devices of this character, without the employment of much more complicated means, because by turning out the thumb-screw a the angle of the plate D may be varied to a nicety, and by screwing in the screw d the plate is fastened in the desired position, without chance of variation, as the edges of the slot b bear on the head of the thumb-screw a and thus lock it fast, so that it will not turn accidentally or without considerable force being applied to it.

A gage constructed substantially as herein described can readily be set at right angles to the face of the plane and used for squaring the work, or it may be adjusted so as to form a bevel, care being taken that the gage-plate be held firmly against a straight side.

When desired, the device may be folded back against the side of the plane, which can then be used for all the general purposes to which a plane is put.

To fold the guide back it is only necessary to turn the screw a so that the flat side of its head will be parallel with the slot b, when the guide can be turned back out of the way, as shown in dotted lines on the upper part of Fig. 2.

What I claim as my invention is —

1. The combination of the plate B, attached to a plane, the angle-plate C D, hinged to the plate B, and having a slot, b, at right angles to the hinge, with the set-screw a passing through said slot and screwing into a nut in the plane, and the locking-screw ol bearing against the plane, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. In a gage for planes, the combination, with the plate B, of the hinged angle-plate C D, having a slot, b, at right angles to the hinge, and a flat-headed set-screw, a, whereby said plate D may be adjusted at any desired angle, or the plate folded back, by turning the screw a a quarter-revolution, substantially as described.
