SHINGLE 0R SHAKE HOLDING JIG Filed Feb. 8; 1951 Patented Dec. 9, 1952 umrsn ,STATES 2,520,696 sinngm R SHAKE HOLDlNGJIG Manuel s. g ves, Mount snastaogns. v Application ri p uar s, 1951, Serial Na-Sermon ins lfi -41 This invention relates to a jig or tool which releasably holds a shake or shingle so that this shake or shingle can be sawed or cut at any angle, which might be necessary in fitting the shake or shingle on to a roof or the side of a dwelling.
An object of my invention is to provide a novel shake or shingle holding jig which is held between spaced plates in such a manner that the shake can be out either lengthwise or transversely, as might be necessary.
An object of my invention is to provide a novel shingle or shake holding jig in which two plates are manually pressed together by holding suitable handles on the ends of the plates, the shake or shingle being pressed between these plates with sufficient force to effectively hold the shake or shingle in any desired position.
Another object of my invention is to provide a novel jig or tool of the character stated, in which two shake or shingle engaging plates are mounted in angular relationship to conform generally to the taper of a shake or shingle.
A feature of my invention is to provide a novel jig or tool of the character stated, in which the two shingle engaging plates are normally pressed apart by spring means so .that a shake or shingle can be readily inserted between these plates in position to be subsequently sawed or cut.
Other objects, advantages and features of invention may appear from the accompanying drawing, the subjoined detailed description and the appended claims.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a perspective view of my shake or shingle holding jig.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same.
Figure 3 is a partial sectional view, as viewed from line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, my jig or tool consists of two elongated plates l-2, which are mounted at an angle to each other so that a tapered shake or shingle will fit between these plates, as will be subsequently described.
A handle 3-4 is fixedly secured to the upper end of the plates l-2, respectively, and these handles are grasped by the workman to pinch the shake or shingle between the plates l-2, the shingle being first arranged at the proper angle for cutting and thereafter manual pressure on the handles 3-4 will efiectively pinch and hold the shingle between the plates [-2.
At the lower end of the plates l-2, I provide cleats 5-6, which are secured to the outer faces of the plates 1-2, respectively, as shown. The cleats are secured to the plates by means of a pair of bolts 1-1, which extend loosely through the plates and through the cleats, as shown in Figure 3. Thus, the plates are loosely pivotally secured together at their lower ends and the plates can move inwardly and outwardly as is necessary to pinch a shingle between them and also to release that shingle after it has been out.
A second pair of bolts 8-8 extend through the cleats 5-6, adjacent the lower ends and a coil spring 9 on each of these bolts presses against the head of the bolt and also against the cleats 5-6, thus urging the plates 1-2 into separated position to permit the insertion of a shake or shingle. When the plates l-2 are pressed together by force on the handles 3-4, the springs 9 are somewhat compressed.
A step I0 is secured to the edge of the cleat 6, as shown and this step provides a means to hold the jig in position, that is, the workman places the step over his foot while the shingle or shake is being held in the tool and while it is being cut.
A strap l l is attached to the edge of one of the plates I or 2, and this strap is provided with a slot l2, through which a pin 13 extends, thus acting as a stop for the plates 1 and 2, and preventing these plates from spreading too far apart.
A clip 14 may be provided on one face of the plates l or 2, for the purpose of holding the saw, which is used in cutting the shake or shingle. A shake o-r shingle is shown in approximate position at I5, in Figure 2, and in this position the shingle is cut lengthwise along the left edge of the plates I and 2, as viewed in Figure 2. Obviously, the shingle can be placed at any desired angle and also can be turned at right angles to the position shown in Figure 2 so as to cut it transversely, if desired. A shingle or shake will usually split lengthwise while it is being cut and in my tool where the shingle is being held tightly adjacent to the out, this splitting tendency is eliminated.
Having described my invention, I claim:
1. A shake or shingle holding jig comprising two elongated plates, a cleat attached to each of said plates and projecting beyond one end thereof, a bolt extending through said plates whereby said plates are pivotally secured together, a second bolt extending through said cleats, a spring encircling the second bolt and bearing against one of the cleats whereby said v 3 plates are yieldably urged apart at the end opposite said bolts.
2. A shake or shingle holding jig comprising two elongated plates, a cleat attached to each of said plates and projecting beyond one end thereof, a bolt extending through said plates whereby said plates are pivotally secured together, a second bolt extending through said cleats, a spring encircling the second bolt and bearing against one of the cleats whereby said plates are yieldably urged apart at the end opposite said bolts, and a handle attached to each of said plates at the end opposite said bolts.
3. A shake or shingle holding jig comprising two elongated plates, a cleat attached to each of said plates and projecting beyond one end thereof, a bolt extending through said plates whereby said plates are pivotally secured together, a second bolt extending through said cleats, a spring encircling the second bolt and bearing against one of the cleats whereby said plates are yieldably urged apart at the end opposite said bolts, and a handle attached to each of said plates at the end opposite said bolts, a step attached to one of said cleats, and a stop strap extending between said plates and attached thereto.
