SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,409, dated December 19, 1882.

Application filed August 16,1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK H. GOWELL, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Oil-Stone Block, of which the followingis a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide anew and improved device for holding an oilstone in such a manner that it can be adjusted so that either of its four longitudinal surfaces will be on top.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding pgmts in all the figures.

Figure l is a longitudinal sectional-elevation of my improved oil-stone block. Fig. 2 Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the pivot-block for holding one end of the stone.

Two legs, A A, are united by a screw-rod, B, to form a frame in which the oil-stone O is held. A block or plate, D, provided on one side with studs E and on the opposite with a recess or aperture, F, is held on one end of the stone 0, the pegs or studs E passing into recesses in the end of the stone, and a pivot, Gr,

projecting from the inner surface of the leg A, passing into the recess F. A block, H, provided on one side with studs or pegs J, adapted to be passed into recesses in the opposite end of the stone, is provided with a threaded aperture adapted to receive the end of a screw, K, passing. loosely through an aperture in the leg A. The stone 0 is thus adapted to turn on the pivot G and the screw K, and can be turned or adjusted so that either of its four longitudinal surfaces will be on top. After adjustment the stone can be locked in K to such an extent that the leg A is clamped H, by which means the stone is held so firmly that it cannot turn. 1

By means of the above-described oil-stone block or holder all four longitudinal surfaces of the oil-stone can be utilized for sharpening tools.

Havin g thus described my invention, I claim as "new and desire to secure by Letters Paten t- 1. The blocks D H, which hold an oil-stone between them,combined with the supportingframe. by a pivot and screw, whereby either of the longitudinal surfaces of the oil-stone may be brought on top, as desired.

2. In an oil-stone holder, the combination, with the legs A A, of the screw-rod B, the pivot-block D, the block H, and the screw K, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

3. In an oil-stone holder, the combination, with the legs A A, of the screw-rod B, the pivot G, the block D, provided with studs E, the block H, provided with studs J, and the screw K, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth. FRANK H. GOWELL. Witnesses:
