FRANK NOE, OF LILLIWAUP, WASHINGTON, ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-HALF T0 SOREN JENSEN, GF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.

. SAW GAUGE AND SET.

Application led March 26, 1923. Serial No. 627,881.

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK Non, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Lilliwaup, Mason County, Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Saw Gauge and Set, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in tools for setting and gauging the teeth of saws, and the object of the invention is to provide a tool that embodies both of these novel features in a unit structure.

rIhe invention resides in the novel arrangement, construction and combination of parts, as will be more fully described in the follow ing specification, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and finally pointed out in the appended claim.

In accomplishing the objects of the invention, I have provided the improved details of construction, the preferred forms of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the tool, showing it in position against a saw blade for setting the teeth thereof, and showing in dotted lines the position of the saw with respect thereto for gauging the set of the teeth.

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the same.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the tool.

Referring more in detail to the drawings-1 designates, as a whole, a tool constructed in accordance with the present invention. It consists, preferably, of an anvil block formed from a single piece of metal, of a size and shape that it may be conveniently held in the hand, and has a flat front surface 2 terminating along its upper edge in an inwardly beveled surface 3.

Integral with the body, and offset inwardly from the surface 2, is an upwardly extending portion 4 provided at its upper end with a transverse slot 5 wherein the inner end of a tooth setting hammer 6 is pivotally mounted by means of a pin 7. The hammer is of angular shape, with a downwardly extending portion 8 and a head 9,

through which a pin 1() is extended and 50 which is substantiallyv perpendicular with respect to thel beveled surface 3. Adjacent the pivoted end of the hammer, the mounting portion is provided with an upwardly beveled surface 11 which normally extends 55 above the end surface of the part-4 and which, upon being pressed downwardly by the thumb, will cause the hammer to be lifted outwardly, as is shown in dotted lines in Figure l, to move it out of the way of the saw blade. Threaded through the upwardly extended portion of the body is a bolt 14 which may be locked at set positions by a lock nut`15. The bolt is so adjusted that its inner end will serve as a gauge for the setting of the teeth of the saw.

`In using the device for setting the teeth of a saw and for gauging their set, the tool is held in the hand and applied-to the blade of a saw 13, as is shown in Figure 1, the thumb of the hand in which the tool is held is used to depress the beveled end of the hammersupport to lift the hammer outwardly when the tool is applied. The tool is held so that the end of the tooth lies adjacent the beveled surface 8. The thumb is then removed so that the hammer pinlO may engage with the tooth of the saw, as is shown in Figure 1, and the outer end of the hammer pin is then struck a sha-rp blow so that it will cause the tooth to be set inwardly against the beveled surface. After this has been done the hammer is lifted by` pressure of the thumb against the surface 11 and the tool is shifted downwardly so that the set of the tooth may be gauged with respect to the end of bolt 14. By using the gauge in this manner, all the teeth in the saw may be given the same even set.. A

It is apparent that a tool of this character can be easily applied and is very simple in its use and will satisfactorily perform the purpose forrwhich it is intended.

I-Iaving thus described my invention, what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

A tool of the class described, comprising all anvil block having a plane surface termihating in a beveled edge, and having an eX- tension offset from the plaiied Surface, a hammer pivotally supported from the eX- teiision and comprising a Striking member adapted to (2o-ziet With the beveled surface in Setting a saw tooth, and a gauge bolt threaded through the extension of the anvil Where-
