IMPROVEMENT IN SPOKESHAVES.
_________________
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 182,320, dated September 19, 1876; application filed August 24, 1876.
_________________
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE D. MOSHER, of New Britain, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements pertaining to Spokeshaves, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, where —
Figure 1 is a front view. Fig. 2 is a rear view. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on plane x x. Fig. 4 is a detail fron view of the clamp. Fig. 5 is a top view of same.
The letter a denotes the body of the spoke shave, mortised centrally for the passage of the knife b, which lies on the bed c. From the body a rises the standard d, and its front face is a prolongation of the knife-bed c. The knife is held to place by the clamp e, having a loop, e’, the loop of running around the back of the standard d. A set-screw, f runs through the front of clamp e, and bears on the knife.
The novelty consists in the means just described for holding the knife in place; and the same ideas are applicable to planes and box-scrapers.
I claim as my invention —
The combination of the knife b, the clamp e, having the loop e’, and the standard d, all substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
GEORGE D. MOSHER.
