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.

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.

_________________

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM STEERS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brattleborongh, in the county of Windham and State of Vermont, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bench-Planes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in bench-planes, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure I is a longitudinal vertical section of the plane. Fig. 2 is a face or front view of the regulating-wheel and eccentric link. Fig. 3 is a face view of the back-iron.

A is the cap or holder.

A’ is a tightening-screw.

a is a lug or pin projecting from the inner side of the plane-stock on each side to support the tightener or cap A which is common to most metal planes.

B is the back-iron, which is held and adjusted to the knife by a screw, b.

In B is a hole, b’, for a pin, c, of an eccentric link, C, which is long enough to pass through the knife or plane~bit and into the hole b’ in the back-iron B.

In the upper end of the eccentric link C is a hole, c’, which fits over the pin d on the face of wheel D.

E is a support in which the adjusting-wheel D is centered. This support E is secured to the flange E’ of the frame of the plane-stock F by a screw, e.

G is the plane bit or knife, adjusted on its proper bed like all other bits or knives.

Operation: When the plane bit or knife G has been properly set, with the back-iron B secured by the set–screw b, as is usual, it is placed in the stock F. The tightener A is then put in and secured by the screw A’. The pin c on the lower end of the eccentric link C enters the hole b’ in the back-iron B. The hole c’ in the upper end of C is fixed over pin d in the face of wheel D. When the plane bit or knife G is to be set fine or coarse, by slightly loosening the screw A’, and with the thumb and fingers turning wheel D to right or left, the eccentric link C will move the knife up or down, as may be required, and by tightening screw A’ the knife is secured to the proper adjustment.

The peculiar feature of this invention is the substitution of the eccentric link C, connected directly by a crank-pin with the regulating or adjusting wheel D itself at one end, and at the other end connected by a pin with the plane-iron cap through the slot in the plane iron or knife, for the usual complicated devices for moving the knife, thus materially reducing the cost of this class of planes.

I am aware that the plane-irons of planes have been adjusted by means of adjusting wheels and connecting parts from it to the plane-iron, and I do not claim, broadly, such arrangements; but

What I do claim is —

In metallic planes, the adjusting crank-wheel D, the link C, attached at one end immediately to the crank-wheel by a wrist-pin, having at its other end a pin which passes through a slot in the plane iron or knife into the back-iron, in combination with the plane iron or knife and back-iron, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I hereto affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM STEERS.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that We, G. D. SPOONER, of Rutland, and L. N. JOHNSON, of Brandon, both in the county of Rutland, and in the State of Vermont, have invented a new and useful improvement in Planes; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which drawing —

Figure 1 represents a longitudinal vertical section of the invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional plan or top view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to a plane in which the bit or plane-iron is secured by means of a set-screw to a cross-head, which is adjustable by means of a thumb-screw in a slotted plate fastened to the stock of the plane, and which is provided with shoulders in such a manner that when the set-screw which forms the connection between the plane-iron and the cross-head is released, the cutting edge of the plane-iron can be readily adjusted in the required position by turning the thumb-screw, and by screwing up the set-screw the plane-iron is firmly retained in the required position.

A represents the stock of our plane, which is made of wood or any other suitable material. This stock is provided with a cavity to receive a metal plate, B, which is firmly secured to the stock, and the outer surface of which is in line with the inner surface of the throat of the plane, as clearly shown in fig. 1 of the drawing. The plate B is furnished with a slot, a, which forms the guide for the cross-head C, which is provided with lips, b, projecting over the inner edges of the slot a, as shown in fig. 2. When the cross-bead is in position in the slot it its outer surface or face is slightly below the outer surface ofthe plate B, and said cross-head is tapped to receive the set-screw c, which forms the connection between the plane-iron D and the cross-head. If the set-screw is screwed up it draws the cross-head up against the inner surface of the plate B, and at the same time it presses the plane-iron down tight against the outer surface of said plate and holds the same firmly in position. If the set-screw c is released the cross-head C can be moved up or down in the slot a by means of the thumb-screw E, the upper end of which is provided with a journal which has its bearing in a forked lug, d, projecting from the inner surface of the plate B, being retained therein by a pin, e, or in any other suitable manner, while the screw-shank of said thumb-screw is tapped into the cross-head, as shown in the drawing. If the set-screw c is released, therefore, the cutting-edge of the plane-iron can be readily adjusted in the desired position, and said plane-iron can also be turned so as to bring its cutting edge square with the sole of the plane, and after it has been so adjusted the set-screw is screwed up tight and the plane-iron is firmly retained in position. A cap, F, may be attached to the plane-iron by screws f which do not interfere with the motion of the plane-iron on the plate B. This arrangement is very simple, and it obviates all complicated and costly mechanism for retaining the plane-iron in position after the same has been adjusted in the required position by the action of the thumb-screw, no change in or attachment to the ordinary plane-iron being required in order to adapt it to our improvement.

We are aware of a plane described in Letters Patent of J. F. Palmer, February 3, 1857, which bears some resemblance to ours. He uses a thumb-screw like ours, but the nut of his thumb-screw is stationary, and in order to give motion to the plane-iron he attaches to the same a fork which catches in a neck of the thumb-screw; and furthermore, his plane-iron must be provided with a slot to admit the set-screw. ln our plane an ordinary plane-iron can be used, nothing being needed but a simple round hole to admit the set-screw, so that if the plane-iron is worn out it can be readily replaced.

What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is —

The sliding cross-head C, provided with shoulders b, which bear against the inner surface of the plate B, said cross-head being made to receive the set-screw c and the thumb-screw E, which catches in a forked lug d, projecting from the inner surface of the fixed plate B, to operate in combination with the plane-iron D, as and for the purpose described.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES G. MILLER, of Brattleborough, in the county of Windham and State of Vermont, have invented a new and improved Carpenter’s Plane; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification.

Figure 1 represents a side view of my improved plane, showing it provided with gauge and rabbeting plane.

Figure 2 ls an end view, partly in section, of the same.

Figure 3 is a side view ofthe same, showing it provided with a grooving-plane.

Figure 4 is an end view of the same.

Figure 5 is s. detail transverse section of the same, on the line x x of fig. 3.

Figure 6 is a side view of the plane, showing it without the rabbeting-gauge.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention relates to a oarpenter’s plane, and consists in certain improved means for making it convertible into a grooving, rabbetlng, or smoothing-plane, as hereinafter specified.

A, in the drawing, represents the stock of my improved plane. It is a narrow plate, cast, or otherwise formed of metal, with a handle, a, at its back end.

An inclined slot is cut in the stock A from the lower edge, the said slot forming the inclined bearing-surface b for the plow or grooving-iron B.

This plow B, which is shown in figs. 3 and 5, has its lower side grooved and fitted over the said inclined edge, as indicated in fig. 5.

The plow is clamped by means of an L-shaped lever, C, which is with one end pivoted by a pin, c, to the stock A, while its other end is formed into a screw, to receive a nut, d.

The upper arm of the lever C passes through. it tubular aperture of the stock, and has the nut d at the upper end.

By turning the nut the lever will be swung upon the plow, clamping the same to the stock. The plow can thus be readily adjusted and removed. This mode of fastening planing-irons is much more convenient than the ordinary wedge now in use.

From the stock A projects a slotted arm, D, horizontally, it being adapted to receive an arm of the horizontal gauge E.

This gauge is made in form of a bar, about as long as the stock A. It is secured to a frame, e, which has the arm f fitting against the slotted arm D of the stock.

A screw, g, clamps the gauge E to the arm f and permits the adjustment of said gauge toward and away from the stock A.

The gauge is held lower than the cutting-edge of the knife, and has for its object to guide the plane along the edge of a board, for grooving or rabbeting purposes.

Another vertical gauge, F, which is, by means of a slotted shank, h, and screw, i, secured to the face of the stock, serves to regulate the depth to which the groove or rabbet is to be cut.

G is a broad planing-knife, secured to an oblique-inclined plate, j, that projects from a horizontal plate, l, of equal width.

On one side the plate l has a projecting flange, m. The parts j l m constitute the detachable stock H ofthe knife G.

This stock can, by means of projecting hooks or screws, n, be secured to the side of the stock A, as in fig. 2, in which case the plow must be removed.

The stock A is slotted, or otherwise provided, to receive the fastening-device of the stock H.

Provided with the knife G and gauge E, the plane is prepared for rabbeting, as in fig. 2. Without the gauge E, it will be a plain smoothing-plane, for all kinds of jobs.

A screw, o, can be used in the frame e, to clamp the gauge E to the plate l of the stock H, as shown.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent —

1. The stocks A and H, combined with the gauge E, the three being constructed and relatively arranged as and for the purpose described.

2. A detachable stock, H, consisting of inclined plate j and horizontal plate l, flanged at m, all as and for the purpose described.
