No. 372,221. Patented Oct. 25, 1887..
UNITED STATES PATENT Orrrcn.
JOHN HENRY HUBBARD AND WILLIAM BRANSON HUBBARD, OF GREEN- VILLE, ILLINOIS.
SIDING OR WEATHER-BOARDING GAGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 372,221, dated October 25, 1887.
Application filed April 29, 1887. Serial No. 236,575. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, J onn HENRY HUB- BARD and WILLIAM BRANSON HUBBARD, citizens of the United States, residing at Greenville, in the county of Bond and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improve ments in Siding or Weather-Boarding Gages, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to improvements in siding or weather-boarding gages; andit consists in a certain novel construction and arrangement of parts for service, fully set forth hereinafter, and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings hereto annexed, Figure 1 is aview showing the manner ofusing the device. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the same. Fig. 3 is a central longitudinal section. Fig. 4 is a transverse section on the line 00 0c of Fig. 3.
Referring by letter to the drawings, A designates the body of the gage, having a longitudinal slot, B, therein, and a ring or finger-hold, C, at thelower end to facilitate the handling of the tool.
D represents a slide, having a-groove, d, therein to receive and slide on the rear side of the body, and E is the support or block on the rear side of the said slide, and having a bolt, F, formed integrally therewith, extending through an opening,f, in the said sl.ide, and also through the slot B. The outer end of the bolt F is threaded to receive the thumb-nut G, to bind the said bolt, and consequently the slide and support carried thereby, at any desired point in the length of the slot B.
H represents a rearwardly-projecting plate or bracket secured on the lower end of the body of the gage, having an upturned end, I, to be passed up in rear of the last-nailed board, and K represents a leaf pressure-spring secured to the rear side of the body, and adapted to bind'the lower edge of the said lastnailed board against the said upturned end or vertical arm of the bracket H.
To place the device in position for use, pass the vertical arm I in rear of the last-nailed board, depressing thereby the lower end of the spring K, and the gage will be held rigidly in position, with the rear edge of the support E pressed against the surface of the said lastnailed board. tance between the upper side of the bracket and the upper side of the support E, on which the lower edge of the next board is rested, will constitute the weather of the sidingboard, and in order to enable the gage to be readily set to the desired weather or showing, we provide a scale of inches on the side of the body and place an index on the edge of the slidebar D corresponding in position to the upper edge or side of the block or support.
It will be seen that when the gage is properly set in position, (one being placed at each end of the board,) and the board to be nailed is placed in rear of the upper end of the slidebar D, and resting at the lower edge on the upper side of the block E, the said board will be held securely in position, and. may be nailed easily and accurately in place.
The device is strong, durable, neat, simple, and may be cheaply manufactured, and will be found very effective in use and a great saver of time, in addition to the fact that no It will be seen that the disnails or pins need be driven into the face of the boards to support the next one above, the perforations made by the said nails marring the appearance of the completed work.
Having now described the construction, operation, and advantages of our improved siding-gage, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is l 1. A siding-gage comprising the body A, having the slot B therein, the slide-bar D, having the groove d, to receive the rear side of the body, and the aperture f, to align with the groove B, the support E, having an integral bolt, F, to pass through the aperturef and the slot B, and the thumb-nut G, to screw on the threaded end of the said bolt, substantially as specified.
2. Theimproved gage herein described and shown, comprising the body A, having the ring 0 at its lower end and the slot B in its upper end, the bracket H, having the upturned arm I secured to the lower end of the our own-we have hereto affixed our signatures body, the spring K, secured to the rear of the in presence of two witnesses. ifi lfifiii $31 2? 318 13 51;Jihiiifii ifiif: HENRY WILLIAM BRANSON HUBBARD. 5 ried by said sude and PX'OJGCtlDg through the slot B, and means for securing the slide at any Witnesses: desired point], substantially as specified. J. G. VRIGHT,
In testimony that we claim the foregoing as JOHN B. IIARLAN.
