SPECIFICATIGN forming part of Letters Patent No. 326,435,1ated September 15, 1885.

Application filed March 28, ISES. (No model.) I

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ELTON P. KENDALL and AMBRosE S. VosE, both citizens of the United States, residing at Windsor, in the county of Windsor and State of Vermont, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Beading-Tools; and we do declare t-he following to be 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, reference bei/ng had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or guresof reference marked thereon, which form a partof this specification.

Figure l of the drawings is a Vertical longitudinal section. Fig. 2 is a plan View. Fig.

3 is a detail view.

This invention relatesfto f improvements in tools for cutting the beads and grooves of moldings and rosettes, and is adapted to be used on either wood, stone, or iron.

Theinvention consists, essentially, in firmly binding, edge to edge, in a metallic block a number of bar-shaped cutters or chisels, the cutting ends of which are formed and arranged to constitute the reverse of the contour of the molding, or one-half of the contour of the rosette to be formed.

The invention further consists in the construction of the cutting-edges of the chisels hereinafter described.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by letter, A represents a block of iron or steel, having on one of its side surfaces a. shallow rectangular recess or cut-away portion, A.

A2 is a rectangular vertical recess in the floor of the recess A', adjoining one side thereof, and for a purpose hereinafter explained.

B B are similar handles extending laterally from the side edges of the block A, and B is a plate adapted to be secured to the block A by the screws b b, so as to eover the recess A and bind the chisels, hereinafter described, between itself and the block in said recess.

C C, Src., are bar-shaped cutters or chisels of steel, rectangular in section, and with their sides parallel, so as to lie in the recess A with their sides pressed equally at all points by the block and plate B. Their edges are also parallel, so that they will be bound together by the pressure of the set-screw D, which passes through a threaded opening in the edge of the block below the handle B on the edge opposite the recess A2.

The ends of the chisels may be made concave, convex, rectilinear at various inclinations, or of any desired contour; but whatever the contour of the end, its surface forms at all points a right angle with each side, so that which has a pitch of ninety degrees. By this means the chisels may make either a draw cut or a push cut, according to the direction in which the block is moved, (the inclination being varied to suit the direction,) and, to complete the contour of the moldings, would make a draw cut and a push alternately.

The chisels, asis evident, are longitudinally adjustable, either separately or together in the block, and preferably have both ends provided with cutting-edges, as shown.

C' is a modification of the ends of the chisels. In this case the Vertical section of the end shows a U-shaped contour, the edges having a less pitch than ninety degrees.

One of the cutting-edges c may, if desired, be provided with the r'icks c c', to adapt it for certain kinds of work.

E is a bit having a rectangular shaft, e, and

. provided with the centering-point e' and head e2 on its lower and upper end, respectively. The shaft of the bit is held in the recess Al by the plate B', and its head is held for insertion into a brace or bitstock by which the bit and consequently the block and chisels are turned when forming a rosette. 'When the tool is used for moldings, the bit is removed and a rectangular shaft of the same diameter inserted in its place, against which shaft the chisels abut.

F is a gagesquare laterally adjustable on the block by means of a proper slot and the set-screw f. The square is set so that its foot f will rest against the top or bottom of the molding and bring the chisels to the desired place. When turning rosettes, the gage-square is detached.

Itis evident from the foregoing that any contour of molding or rosette may be formed by selecting the proper chisels and adjusting them to proper positions in the block A. Bosettes or moldings of different widths may be formed by binding on the block a greater or less number of chisels.

the end has two cutting edges, c c, each of ICO secure the cutters therein, and provided with 15 n recess to receive a gage-sqnare, the gagesquare F, arranged at right angles to the cutters in the said recess, and the screw f, for adjustably securing the same therein, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof we ax` our si guatures in presence of two witnesses.
