WILLIAM ALFRED PIKE, OF MEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS.
' PIPE-VISE snrronr.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. PIKE, of Medford, in the county of Middlesex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a citizen ofthe United States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pipe-Vise Supports, of which'the following is a full and exact description.
One of the time-consumingdifliculties to which plumbers are exposed is that of cutting and threading. gas andother piping in old andfinished buildings. As it is out;of
' Referring to the drawings forming part ofthis specification, Figure 1 is a perspective View or a pipe-clamp and its support made in accordance with my invention, the same being shown fastened to a suitable object. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of parts of said support viewed from a direction oppoillustrating the locking device for the adjustable member. Fig.4: is another view of said device. Fig. 5 is a toporledge view of the movable clamping member. Fig. 6 is a view ofa modification of the invention for enabling the support to i be fastened to a cylindrical post or bar.
The-object selected for illustration in Fig.
l for the attachment of my pipe-clamp support may be imagined to be a portion of the framing of a door way, or even the free edge ofa heavy door. The pipe-clamp l is of a usual and well known type, and forms no part of the invention, the same being shown in Fig. 1 in order better to illustrate the method of using the support. The support being most frequently attached to a vertical object, as the door frame 2, I shall describe the parts composing the sameas though the positions disclosed in the drawlngs were their exclusive ones. i
The, main member ofthe support comprises the upright 3. formed with two exposed faces 4 and 5 at right angles to each other and each formed withsimilar slots6 Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed May 17, 1913.
to the plumbers. upright projects a clamping arm 9 recessed for the reception of pads 10 preferablvof Serial No. 768,227. r
for receiving the fastening bolts with which the elbow 7 of the pipe-clamp is provided;
said upright being formed with said two faces .for the purpose of permitting the pipe clamp to be fastened to one or the other thereof so that the pipe to be operated upon can be extended either "through the door way, orparallel with the wall, depending upon which proves to be the more convenient Horizontally from said leather, as indicated in Fig. 2, and designed to contact withone surface of the object 2. At right angles to the surface 4 extends a Patented Sept.22, 1914.
bar 11 notched alongone edge and slidably r carrying a clamping member for coacting with said clamping arm'9. Said clamping member comprises a sleeve 12 having an arm 13 carrying a clamping screw 14 at whose end is a plate 15 provided with a pad 16 (Fig. 5). By turning said screw until its padded plate 15 is set against the surface of the object 2 with sufficient force, the support is fastened securely in place.
To prevent the support from rocking,
small padded plates 17 (Fig. 2) are provided at the endsofthe upright 3, adapted to be setup against the front face of the object 2 by means of thumb screws 19, as shown in Fig. 1.
Ordinarily, the above described clamping means for the support are ample, but occasionally for the threading or cutting of extra large and heavy piping, additional bracing is needed. For such purpose, the sleeve 20 is provided having a socket 21 snugly receiving a vertical rod or pipe 22 fixed therein by a set screw 23, said sleeve sliclable on said bar 11. Parallel with said bar 11 is a similar bar 24 carrying asleeve 25 having a socket 26 receiving said rod 22; a set screw 27 fixing the latter in place in said socket. At one end of the bar 24 is a padded arm 29 rigid therewith anddesigned to press against the same surface of the object 2 as does the arm 9. Slidable on the bar 24 is a second sleeve 30 carrying a set screw 31 provided with a clamping plate 32 suitably padded, similar to that shown in Fig. 5. Said bar 2 1 is formed with notches 33 like those in the bar 11 and for the same purpose,that of looking the sleeve 30 at any one of numerous points. The device for engaging said notches consists of a wire loop 341 having its terminals turning in the ear 35 projecting from a i sleeve 30, 12. By swinging such loop into a notch and then moving the sleeve back against the loop, as shown in Fig. 3, further pressure against the sleeve is firmlyresisted, and the clamping screw can be turned up solidly against the object; 2. I V I "In case it is'desired to support the vise clamp upon a round post, as 36 in Fig. 6, removable concave padded jaws 37 are ap plied to the arm 9 and clamping plate and held in place by suitable thumb screws 39.
Thus arranged, the vise clamp can be at-' tached ina moment or two to any suitable supporting object, varying from-two or three inches in thickness to a foot or more; it will be firmly supported, and when it is removed therefrom it will be found not to have dented v or otherwise marred thesurfaces of such obj ect, no matter howhighly finished the same mayhave been. V
I As shown in Fig. 2, the bar 11 is removably held in the socket 40 of the upright 3 by means of athumb screw 41, in order that the bar can be withdrawn therefrom and the parts packed snugly together for compactness in storage and transportation. To enable the pipe vise to be more readily re- I moved from and applied to the different be held; but in addition, by unclamping the support, turning it upside'down and applying it to the opposite surface of the object 2, one or two more posit-ions or locations are given for the piping.
My device enables the mechanic to out u and thread his piping close to where he is doing the work. The support can be clamped to a fence, post, table, bench, shelf or even a stove, and to any suitable object in either horizontal, perpendicular or angular position. It will not dent, scratch or mar the finest wood-finish. Moreover, its design is on strong and durable lines. It is of light "weight, and can be made of various sizes. For cutting or threading brass piping such as is commonly used in dwellings and offices, and iron piping up to half-inch, it is not necessary for the device to Weigh more than three pounds; and
. for cutting and threading any larger pipe usually cut and threaded by hand, it is not necessary for the complete support to weigh over ten pounds. This light weight, taken in conjunction with its compactness in packing, enables the support to be easily carried by. the mechanic in his tool bag. At the same time, it can be taken out from thebag surface may be.
and setup wherever desired in but a moment or two. N I
' It should be noted thatthis invention does not pertain'to the pipe vise, nor is it a pipe vise and clamp combined, but it is simply a support or clamp which enables the user to attach any size or design of 'vise to any suitable object possessing sufficient strength, no'matter what the polish or finish of its lVhatI claim -as'my invention and for whichldesire Letters Patent is as follows to wit:
1. A pipe vise support, com rising anup- .51

I
4. A pipe vise support right having two surfaces at right aanglesgto each other, each surface bein slottedfor receiving the fastening bolts of apipe vise, an arm rigid with the" upright parallel .with one of said surfaces',and clamping, means opposed to said arm. 1 v -.1
5. A pipe vise support comprising an upright having two surfaces at .rightangles to each other eachadapted tohave. avise comprisingan up attached thereto, an armrigidi with the upi right parallel with one of said surfaces, clamping means connected with'the upright for opposing said arm, and clamping de-' vices at the ends. of the upright adjustable toward an object between said. army and a rigid with the upright, alhorizontal .bar
rigida with T said upright, a clamping: member rigid therewith, a clamping device opposing said padded arm, and T-bolts entering said slots for removably attaching a pipe 15 vise to said upright.
