CARL/E. SII-IIELDS, OF ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS.
BENCH-VISIE SUPPORT.
To all 'whom it may concern: v
Be it kno-wn that I, CARL E. Si-IiELns, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident of ItockIsland, Rock Island county, Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Bench-vise Supports, of which the following is a speciiication.
My invention relates to a bench vise, and more particularly in an improved means of supporting the same. D
More particularly, my invention relates to means for so supporting a vise that it can be angularly rotated and locked in any desired position. These and other ob]ects of my invention will be more clearly understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in whichn Figure 1 is a side elevation of a supportand vise, part of the support being shown in section. Fig. 2 is a plan view of 1, showing in dotted lines another position for the vise. Fig. B is a bottom view of the support.
In the drawings, like reference characters refer to like parts.
I have shown my invention in connection with a vise consisting of a stationary )aw 1.,I supported upon the standard 2,. and the movable jaw 8 supported by the tail-piece 1. The movable jaw is adjusted with relation to the stationary jaw by means of the threaded rod 5 and operating handle 6 in a manner well understood in the art.
The bottom of the standard 2 terminates in a circular base 7 which rests upon a suit able supporting base S, which is securely attached to a bench or the like by means of bolts 9 passing through the ears in said support. Passing through the center of the base 7 and support S is a pivot bolt 10 (see Fig. 3), having a suitable head 11. This bolt acts as an aXis about which the base 7 can revolve, as will be readily understood. In order to lock the base in any desired relative position on the supporting base, I provide the following means.
The rear portion of the standard 2 is rec-- tangular in cross-section, so that the circular base extends beyond it at the two sides, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. rThe support is provided with a semicircular slot 12, `as shown in Fig. 3. There is likewise a circular hole in the base through which the bolt 13 passes, said bolt likewise passing through Specification of Letters Patent.

said slot 12. The boltis provided with a suitable head let, and is threaded upon the opposite end, which projects through and abo-ve the base 7. Upon this upper portion is a threaded clamping member 15 from which projects the operating arm 16. This arm. can be rotated through an angle of about 1800, which movement rotates the clamping member 15 on the threaded bolt 13.
The face of the clamping member 15 is cam-shaped. As shown in Fig. 1, the side of the clamping member on the side of the arm 16 is thicker than the opposite side thereof. The upper surface of the base 7 is likewise provided with a cam-shaped projection 17 adapted to engage with the camshaped face of the member 15. As shown in the drawings, the arm 16 is thrown to the right, in which position the cam-shaped projection 17 bears against the thinnest part of the clamping member 15. Therefore, in this position the base 7 is not securely clamped to the support 8 and, if it is de sired, the base 7 and with it the whole vise can be readily rotated, the base 7 pivoting upon the pivot bolt 10, and the extent of rotation being limited only by the length of the slot 12 in the support 8, as it will be seen that as the base is rotated the bolt 13 travels along this slot. I/Vhen it is desired to lock the vise in any position it is only necessary to rotate the arm 16 through an angle of approximately 1800. As the thick portion of the cam-shaped clamping member 15 rides up upon the cam projection 17, the base 7 is forced downward into firm and secure frictional engagement with the support 8, thus firmly clamping the vise to this support and securing it in position. It will be noticed that this clamping action is aided by the fact that the clamping member 15 being threaded upon the bolt 13, when this member is rotated in the manner above described the whole member is carried downward slightly by this threaded engagement into frictional engagement with the support.
It will thus be seen that I have devised a simple and efficient device whereby a vise can be readily moved to any angular position and clamped in that position.
While I have illustrated my invention in connection with a bench vise, it is to be understood that I do not wish to limit myself to such use, but
What I Claim as my invention is: a Cam-shaped projection on said base adapt- In a device of the class described, a staed to engage said clamping member, and an tionary jaW and a movable jaw, means for arm for operating said clamping member adjusting one with relation to the other, a to securely clamp said base to said support. i 5 base for supporting said jaws, a support to Signed by me at Chicago, Iliinois, this l5 which said base is pivoted7 a threaded bolt 23d day of May, 1911.
