METAL TOY PLANE.

I SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 282,468, dated July 31, 1883. Application filed April 1; 1883. (N 0 model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

' Be it known that I, SoLoN R. BUsT, a citizen of the United States, residing. at Pine Meadows, in the county of Litchfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metal Toy Planes; and I do hereby declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in toy planes and the object is to construct such planes in a very simple manner, so that the plane iron or bit can be easily adjusted to suit difierent cuts, and that they cin be produced at a small cost.

My invention consists in the construction and arrangement of certain parts, as will be more fully described hereinafter, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon.

Like letters indicate likeparts in the several figures of the drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a plan or top view of my improved toy plane. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section on line as m, Fig. 1.- Fig. 4 is a vertical crosssection on line y y, Fig. 2. Figs. 5, 6, 7, and 8 are respectively similar views ofa. modification of the same.

' cam. is provided with two stems or levers, b,

which are attached to a head or cap, 0, generally cast together. The object of saidhead is to fit the hand when in use and completely cover the top of the plane iron or bit C, thus making a full and entire protection for the inside of the hand, and prevent it from coming in contact with the plane iron. This is a very side of the opening d. The cam-bar is provided at each side with a journal, 9, which fits into the holes or slots (0 in the sides of the frame, while the central part is made eccentric or cam-shaped, and when the cam is turned down it firmly clamps and holds the planeiron against the lug e. By turning the cam in an upright position the plane-iron will be released, and can be adjusted or removed.

In the modification shown in Figs. 5 to 8 the cam-bar is provided with one lever or handle, 6, only, and the head or cap is dis pensed with, by which the cost of the plane'is V I still further reduced.

The advantages of this plane will be readily appreciated, and among them are: cheapness in construction, a much greater pitch is obtained of the plane-iron, the concave in the lug 011 the bed of the body, on which the cuttingiron rests, forming a spring or elastic bearing under the cam-bar, making a very strong fastening device; the simplicity of its construction, and no liability of getting out of order.

' The operation is as follows: The cam-bar is first placed in an upright position, with its journals 9' in the slots 6 in the sides of the planebody. The plane-iron is then inserted in place, resting on the lug c, and is set to the desired depth of out. The cam-bar handle is then moved backward, when the cam-bar B will firmly clamp the plane-iron in position, ready for use. To remove the plane-iron, the operation is merely reversed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. In a plane, the body A, having slots a in its sides, and a lug, 6, provided with con- O, and cam-bar B, having journals g, handles cave face, in combination with the plane-iron 1 In testimony whereof I hereby afiiX my sig nature in presence of two witnesses.
