UNITED STATES PATE-.N T OFFICE.
ROBERT S. GRIFFIN, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN BENCH-PLANES.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 203,442, dated May 7, 1878; application led April 6, 187s.
To all 'whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT S. GRIFFIN, of Worcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Planes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the saine, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this speciiication, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a plan view of the plane-stock, with the bit and cap removed, showing the back plate and its attachments. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of the plane, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the bottom of the bit or blade.
This invention has relation to' improvements in planes.
The object of the invention is to` devise a means whereby the blade may be adjusted to out shavings of various thicknesses, and secured to the stock without the employment of wedges or other like devices.
The nature of the invention consists in combining with the back plate aforesaid, having the projecting screw, thelongitudin ally-slotted bit, the cap, and the thumb-nut, an adjustingscrewhaving a screw-seat upon the under side of the said back plate, and engaging a forked offset on the back of the plane-bit, whereby, the thumb-nut being loosened, I am able to adjust the bit to cut a fine or coarse shaving as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In the annexed drawings, the letter A designates the plane-stock, having the usual flaring recess a and throat a. B represents ametallic back plate, recessed into the rear inclined wall of the recess a so as to be flush therewith, and provided, near its lower edge, with a projecting screw, B. This screw is at right angles to the plane of the said back plate. C represents an adj usting-screw, having its bearings in a female-threaded offset, b, near the top, and
on the under side of the back plate, and pro` vided, near its upper end, with an annular grove, c, the functions of which will be herein- Y after set forth. Thescrew C has at its upper end a head, d, by which it is conveniently manipulated, and it works in a groove, e, in the rear inthe screw B.
adjusted cli ned wall ofthe recess a. D indicates the planing-bit, having a longitudinal slot, f, through are forcibly clamped against the stock, or rather the end wall of the recess a, by a thumbnut, L,orits equivalent, applied upon the end of This nut being loosened, the bit may be adjusted to cut a thin shaving or a thick one, as may be required, by operating the adjusting-screw (l, to raise or lower the planing-bit. The cap, being also slotted, may be also adjusted in conformity with the adjustment of the bit.
It will be seen that by means of the back plate, its projecting screw, and the thumb-nut above described, the planingbit and cap are according to requirements, without the employment of wedges or other equivalent devices, and that the said devices may be raised or lowered, as the oase may be, by simply loosening the thumb-nut and actuating the adjusting-screw. This latter is connected to the planing-bit by the engagement of the forked offset with the annular groove aforesaid.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination of the plane-stock A, having groove e in its rear wall, the back plate B, carrying screw B', and the sorewthreaded offset b, and the adjusting-screw C, having annular groove c, and working in said offset, with the lon gitudinally-slotted bit D, having forked offset g upon its under side, near its upper end, the slotted c. p J, and thumb-nut L, substantially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
ROBERT S. GRIFFIN.
