T all fwiom t may concern? Be it, known that l, THOMAS CHARLES listener, e cit'sen of the United States, residingl Spokane, in the county of Spokane and State or' l/Vasliiiigtoo, have invented new useful improvements in Glaziers Point-Setters, which the following is e speciiicetiori.

This invention relates to improvements in gleziers point setter-s.

is one of the objects of this invention to 'provide al point set-ter which 'is capable volf setting oiiits in e sasli oer or the like in such spaced relation with lrespect to the glass as to avoid breakage.

further object is to provide e point setter capable of setting points in angular relation to the glass, and also7 in spaced relation with respect thereto.

Further objects 'and features of the iriveilH tion will be more full described in connecF tion with the accompanying drawing and will. be more particularly pointed out inV and .by the appended claims.

ln drawing- Figure l. is a view 'in sideelevation of one embed ent of my invention showing the setter ready to deliver points to sasli. 2 is o vertical sectional view with parts in diiierenl: position. Fig.

is e sectional vieri7 on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

reference designate tlie draw Y v As shown, invention includes a. freine provided with e. point holder having; a vertically eloneaed chamber 2 in which n y superi* oscd points 3 may oe oisposerl *with one corner in advance.

Thel'rame isalso provided with n liaiid grip 4 Wliicli is formed integral with the holder l, ily means of e. connecting portion 5. Depending from the hand grip 4. is a supporting leg' 6 adjust-ably connected with a tilting block 7. which may ne dove-tailed in theA leg (l so as to lie vertically slidalole with respect thereto. 7i. set screw 8 may be employed to lock the .traine and tilting block from movement a/Wey from :in adjusted. position to tilt the holder l., or

rather its delivery end,v at any desiredangle freine parallel position With respectto the glass. A,

The delivery endo the holder is designeted at 9 and l prefer to dispose a liardcried Wearing plate between said end and the driver,'to taire up4 weer, said plate 10 having mi opening l1, sliepedto conform toy the type or' point used. The driver is provided With e point engaging end l2 'which is slidable beneath the wearing plate l) and preferably bend up the margins 13, ofthe driver' to slidalljA engage the edges' of the wearing plate and the sides of the holder i, as clearly shown in lEig. (i. The terminal of the driving end is jawed, as indicated at le; to engage the rear corners o`tlie points when the latter descend througlrthe Wear ing plete into the plane or"V the driver.' ll',

will be clear thzit tlrie jaw of the driver will always be held in registry With the delivery opening of the Wearing plate.

The end of the driver l2, remote fromthe jewed end, is' connected with ,a driver head le liavinga rod which is slid'able irren opening oi' elongated form in the leg 6, ae indicated at 16. Said rofl also extends through. an elongated opening 1i', in the tilting block spring i8 is' interposed between the' head 11i and the leg 6 to normally advance' the .driver toward e delivering position-- The top o'f 'the head le', is providedvwitli ai] adjustable release plate 19 which is shown `pivo'ted :it 20 to said head. A spring 21, secured to seid release plete i9, engages the head and normally acti to tilt the foriverd end of the plate ope-'ai v. Slet serein74 22. threaded into plate i9. rf lie set against the head 'le' to limit tilting movement of the release plate. 1

v Patented Apr. 6.51915.

An rexpansively acting:

a stud Q8 so that its vfree end will engage a noiclied portion Q9 and normally act to re-- turn the leverfirom the. positionl .shown in 2, to the position sho-vn in Fig. l. The trigger lever is provided with e trigger 35 disposed beneath the driver.

which is adapted for engagementwith the end of the release plate 1.9, as shown in Fig. 2, to retract the driver 1Q.. -Retraction oi Athe driver 12 hrill compress sprinsgso that When'trigger 30"releases plate ii?, spring 18 4. will advance the driver int-o a delivery posi-- tion. The trigger' may then Abe advanced over plate 19 by spring 26, depressing plate 19 s as tolassume engaging relation with l0 the end thereof.

VVhenwa driver is advanced along or upon theglass in a. manner to drive the point into the-sash vin close parallel relation with the glass, tlie operation of driving the point a' almost invariably results in cracking4 or nicking the glass thereby causing serious loss.l It is not essential that the points be 4driven close to the glass so as to engage the same as these points merely serve to hold the 20 'glass until the putt is applied. y

' Now itis one o the features of this inv vention to elevate the tool so that the points will be driven into the sash in spaced re lation with respect to the glass so as to permit the putty to be squeezed betweenthe points and the glass and ,thereby forni a cushion and reduce the danger of straining and cracking the glass.

In the particular i'orin shown, l provide elevating or spacing means .rfor the tool f they may be secured by screws 34 so that the "improvement may be attached to any of the `L0 tools now in use. It will be seen that the shoe not only functions as a spacer, but also5 as a' Wearing guide for the driver. Shoes having. bases of different thickness, may be provided 'to space the points the desired dis- .45 tance from Ythe glass.v By tilting the frame,

with the tilting adjusting means previously described, the points may be driven in spaced relation and also at an angle 'to the parallel, with respect to the glass. A i'ollower 35, ,provided with a Weight 36, may be Vused to force the points downwardly in the. holder il.

yIt is believed that the utility and advan tages of my invention will be fully understood from the foregoing description, and while i have herein shown and described one specific forni of my invention, do not wish to he limited thereto, except for such limitations as the claims may import.

li claim: l

l. In a glaziers point setter, a 'frame provided With a point holder and a supporting leg, tilting means for the supporting legfor tilting the frame, and a driver movable in said tilting means for driving the points from the holder into the sash at an angle to the glass in accordance with the angle of tilt ot the frame, substantially as described.

in glaziers point setter, a frame vprovided with a point holder and a supporting leg, a tilting block orsaid leg, means for adjusting said block with respect to said leg to tilt the frame, an elevating shoe attached to the holder, and* diiverstructure having one portion slidable between said holder and shoe and another portion slidable in said leg and block, substantially aS described. n I

3. ln a glazierl'sA point setter, a holder structure having adjustable tilting means, and a driver having one portion slidable in said strnetrre'and another port-ion slidable in said nieans substantially as described.

. i. ln a giaziers point setter, a holder for the points ha ving a delivery end, a hardened wearing plate at said end, a shoe for elevating; the holder with. respect to the glass and being secured to the holder, and a driver slidable between said Wearing vplate and shoe and having bent-up portions engaging said Wearing plate to guide said driver to a straight line ci travel, substantially'as described.

in testimony that l elaiin the foregoing as niy own, l hereby aiix my signature in the presence of tWo witnesses.
