Application filed lll'ayy 8,

To all whom z't 7.22.6142/ concern Beit known that l, Louis SoHo'r'r, a citizen of the United States of America, `and a resident of Cincinnati. in the county oi `l`l'amilton and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Riveting J igs, of which the following is a Yspecifica` tion.

An object of my inventionis to provide a riveting for use in mounting handle brackets and the like upon vessels such as sheet iron wash tubs and pails.

Another object is to provide a device ot this kind which is simple of construction and operation. Y

Another object is to provide a device of this kind, the use of which will effect a considerable saving of time and labor.

vThese and other objects are attained by the means described herein and disclosed in the accompanying drawing, in which: Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a vessel having a device of my invention mounted thereon for retaining the handle brackets and rivets in position for riveting.

Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a fragmental elevation of a vessel showing the brackets and handle structure.

The device comprises an anvil plate G, which is in practicegiven a slightly curved or arcuate working surface to accommodate thev inside of the wall 7 of a vessel 8 upon which handle brackets 9 are to be mounted. An L-shaped block 1'0 is secured centrally at one end of the anvil plate 6 by means of machine bolts 11 or by any other suitable means. The block 10 has a ange 12 which extends parallel to the anvil plate 6 and in spaced relation thereto so that the rounded rim or lip 13 of the vessel wall 7 may be accommodated between the anvil plate and said flange. A pair of spaced arms 14 extend from the flange 12 in alignment therewith and are provided with aligned transverse bores 15. A clamping block 16 having a suitable handle rod 17, is pivotally mounted upon rod 18 which extends through the aligned bores 15 in the arms 14. Suitable pins or lugs 19 extend outwardly from the anvil plate 6 and are adapted to engage the top of the rim 13 of the vessel 8. Thus the jig is placed upon the wall 7 ofthe vessel with the anvil Plate upon the inner Side ef 1924. Serial No. 711,908.

the wall and the flange 12 andfarms 1l.

.the clamping block 16 is positioned eccentric to the rod 18 so that when the clamping vblock 1.6 is in the position shown in dottedy lieve 0.11 2th@ rim and wall ,of the vessel lmay be passed between said ,c laiaiping block and the anvil plate. When the Eclan'iping block is turned by means of handle l17 on its eccentric axis the face 2O of the block 16 will engage the outer wall of the vessel. By bringing the handle 17 substantially parallel with the wall 7 of the vessel the jig will be tightly clamped upon said wall. The vessel wall in practice, is provided with rivet holes 21 in which rivets 22 are inserted after which the jig is placed in position in engagement with the heads 23 of all of the rivets required to secure a pair of the handle brackets 9 upon the vessel. The clamping block 16 is then actuated totightly clampl the jig upon the vessel wall and the rivet heads at which time the handle brackets 9 may be placed in position and thevriveting operation performed. It should be noted that a plurality of rivets may be inserted in the various rivet holes and may be held securely in position so that the workman may with great efliciency and rapidity perform the necessary riveting operations without having to direct his attention to position the rivet as each one is headed. Having riveted a pair of the handle brackets 9 to the wall of a vessel the handle is'readily affixed by inserting a handle 24 between the brackets 9 and inserting a suitablefrod 25 through the aligned perforations 26 in the brackets 9 after which the ends 27 of the rod 25 may be spread or riveted.

What I claim is: 1 Y

1. In a device of the class described the combination with an anvil plate for engaging the inner sider of a vessel wall, of a pair of spaced arms mounted in spaced relation to the anvil plate, and a clampingmember mounted eccentrically between the arms for engaging the outer side yof said vessel wall.

2. In a device of the class described the combination with an anvil plate having a convex riveting: surface, a block mounted upon said riveting surface, a flange extending from the block in spaced relation to the anvil plate, spaced arms extending Jfrom loo and invalignment with said flange said arms clamping member having a perforation en tending therethrough and positioned eccentrioally to the clamping face thereof, a rod extending through the aligned perforations in the arms and through the perforation in the clamping block for mounting the clamping block pivotally and eccentrioally between said arms, and means carried b v the block for moving said block about its eccentrie mounting into and out of engagement with the anvil plate.

3. In a device of the Class described the combination with an anvil plate for engaging the inside of a vessel Wall, a pair of lugs extending from the anvil plate for engaging the top edge of said vessel Wall a block mounted on the anvil plate, a fiange extending from the block in spaced relation to the anvil plate and the outside of the vessel Wall. and an eccentrically mounted clamping block pivotallv mounted on the flange for engaging the outside of the vessel Wall.

el. ln a riveting jig the combination With an anvil plate for receiving a vessel wall having rivets extending therethrough, lugs extending from the anvil plate for engaging the top of the vessel Wall whereby the anvil plate is suspended in position over the rivets, a flanged block extending about the top and outside of the vessel Wall, and clamping means mounted on the block for engaging the outside of the vessel Wall ivhereb)7 rivets are securely held in position in rivet holes in the vessel Wall.

Intestimonv whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name this 30th day of April` 1924.
