To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDRE S. HAYNES, of Rome, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Planes; and I do hereby 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 pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which forms part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in planes; and it consists in, first, the combination of the frame or body of the plane, a pivoted spring-actuated cutter-holder, a connecting-rod, and a lever which is used in connection with the handle for making the cutter-holder movable; second, the combination of the body or frame of the plane, a pivoted spring-actuated cutter-holder, a connecting-rod, a pivoted lever used in connection with the stationary handle, and a set-screw for regulating the distance the handle shall move the cutter, as will be more fully described hereinafter.

The object of my invention is to produce a plane in which the force used in propelling the plane forward is made to bring the cutter into position for operation, but which cutter, as soon as the grasp of the hand is relaxed as the plane is drawn backward, will move upward in the slot in the body or frame, so that its edge will not drag along upon the lumber, and to make the lever used in connection with the handle adjustable, so that the cutter can be held rigidly in position or the distance that it shall move upward out of contact with the lumber be regulated.

The accompanying drawing represents a vertical section of a plane which embodies my invention.

A represents an ordinary metallic plane body or frame,which is provided with the handle X at its front end and with the handle D near its rear one, and which handles are secured to the frame in any suitable manner. Pivoted upon the lower end of the handle D, at F, is the lever E,which forms a portion of the handle and lever by means of which the cutter is moved into position for work. In the upper end of the lever E is made a recess, O, in which the head of the set-screw N is made to catch. This screw N passes through the lever E into the handle D and serves to regulate the distance the lever E shall move. When the screw N is screwed up tightly, so as to force the lever E in contact with the handle D, the cutter is held in position so that it has no movement whatever, and then operates like an ordinary plane. When the screw N is unscrewed a short distance, the lever E is forced backward by means of the springs M and the connecting-rod G, and thus regulates the distance that the cutter shall be moved upward in the slot in the bottom of the frame or body.

Pivoted to the lower end of the lever E at the point H is the rod G, which is pivoted at its front end by the pin I to the lower portion of the cutter-holder B. This cutter-holder is pivoted upon the frame or body A at C, and has connected to it a spring, M, upon each side of the body or frame, and which springs serve to hold the lower end of the cutter-holder B and the cutter J in a raised position in relation to the slot P. The devices for securing the cutter to the cutter-holder B are old, and hence need not be more fully described in this connection. This lever E is first moved so as to depress the lower end of the cutter-holder, and then the cutter is adjusted into an operative position. When the lever E is released, the spring M instantly raises the lower end of the cutter and the cutter-holder upward, so that the lower edge of the cutter will be raised above the piece of timber that is being dressed. In order to regulate the distance the cutter-holder and cutter shall move downward, suitable stops, Q, are formed upon the body A, and corresponding stops, R, formed upon the back of the cutter-holder. These stops prevent the lower edge of the cutter from ever being forced down below a certain point.

When the handle D and lever E are taken hold of and the plane is forced forward, the connecting-rod G causes the cutter-holder B to turn upon its pivots C, and thus move the lower edge of the cutter downward through the slot P into an operative position. When the pressure or grasp of the hand is released in drawing the plane backward, the springs M instantly raise the lower end of the cutter-holder so that the lower edge of the cutter is raised in the slot P, so as not to come in contact with the lumber while the plane is being drawn backward, and thus prevent the edge of the cutter from becoming dulled, and to make the operation of drawing the plane back easier. As above stated, when it is not desired that the cutter-holder and cutter shall have any movement, it is only necessary to tighten the screw N, and the lower end of the lever E will move the rod G endwise until the stops upon the rear side of the cutter-holder strike against the stops on the body A, when the plane will act like an ordinary one.

Having thus described my invention, I claim —

1. The combination with the body or frame, of a movable cutter-holder, the cutter secured thereto, a connecting-rod, the handle, and a lever loosely connected to both the rod and the handle and adapted to be grasped with the handle, substantially as shown.

2. The combination of the body or frame of the plane, with the pivoted spring-actuated cutter-holder, the cutter secured thereto, a connecting-rod, and a pivoted lever which is operated by the forward pressure of the hand in moving the plane forward, substantially as described.

3. The combination of the stationary handle D, the lever E, pivoted thereon, the adjusting setscrew N, the connecting-rod, the pivoted spring-actuated holder, and the cutter, substantially as set forth.

4. The combination of the body or frame of the plane, provided with stops, a spring-actuated cutter-holder provided with stops near its lower end, the cutter secured to the holder, the connecting-rod fastened to the lower end of the cutter-holder, the stationary handle, the lever pivoted upon the handle and connected at its lower end to the connecting rod, and an adjusting device for regulating the amount of movement which shall be given to the cutter, substantially as specified.

5. The combination, in a plane, of a cutter-holder having a cutter secured thereto, a spring-actuated lever connected to the handle, and a rod which connects the lever and the cutter-holder together, whereby the cutter is depressed by the lever as the plane is forced forward and is returned to position by the spring as the plane is drawn backward, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SPOKESHAVE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDRE S. HAYNES, of Rome, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Combined Spokeshave and Chamfering-Tool, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention consists of the application of bevel gage-stops to a spokeshave in a manner to serve for gaging the spokeshave suitably for chamfering the corners of the work, the said stops being laterally and angularly adjustable for setting them to stop the shave at any required point, according to the amount and angle it is desired to chamfer the work, all as hereinafter fully described.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved tool. Fig. 2 is partly a side elevation and partly a section on the line x x of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross-section on the line y y of Fig. 1.

I plane the under side of the stock a each side of the socket c for the plane d in a straight line with the face c, where the plane-bit f projects, and apply thereto the bevel gage-stops g, making them adjustable toward and from each other by bolting them on through slots h by thumb-screws i. The said gage-stops are notched at j to enable them to shift along the projecting plane-bit to set them as close together as the amount it is desired to chamfer the work may demand. The shanks k have bits or studsl at the outer ends, to bear in the grooves in of the spokeshave-stock a, to guard against lateral divergence of the stops by the friction on the work.

The gage-stops may be constructed on angles of forty-five degrees to the plane-bit, as for square work; but they will serve for work of other shapes, for it is not necessary that the faces bear fair upon the sides of the work. If the angle of the work is larger than the angle of the gages, they will bear at the lower edges, and if the said angle be smaller, they will bear at the upper edges.

If desired, different sets of stops may be constructed on different angles for special shapes of work. This arrangement of interchangeable stops with fixed heads or faces g is represented at the right-hand side of Fig. 2; but I make the stop-faces g angularly adjustable by pivoting them to the shank k, as at the left-hand side of Fig. 2, thereby permitting them to be used at one or both sides, and to be adjustable to any angle for chamfering more to one side or face of the work than the other, as will readily be understood.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent —

1. The combination of bevel gage-stops g with a spokeshave, said stops being adjustable toward and from each other and arranged to act on the opposite sides of the work to gage and stop the cutter on the angle, substantially as described.

2. The gage-stops g, having notch j, arranged with relation to the plane-bit f and said stops being adjustable along said plane-bit, substantially as described.

3. The adjustable gage-stops g, having guide studs l, in combination with the grooved stock a and plane-bit f, substantially as described.

4. The combination of bevel gage-stops g, adjustable toward and from each other with relation to the plane-bit f, and pivoted to their shanks k, to be angularly adjustable to the faces of the work, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
