CHARLES WVIES, OF FAULKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JAMES M. LOCKEY, OF SAME PLACE.

VISE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 449,987, dated April '7, 1891. Application filed July 1, 1890. Serial No. 357,451. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES WIES, of Faulkton, in the county of Faulk and State of South Dakota, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Vise Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an attachment for vises by which to adapt them for securing beveled pieces or blocks; and the invention consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts, as Willbe described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure Tie a top plan view of a vise, showingmy attachmentand a beveled or triangular piece held in place thereby. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the attachment, and Fig. 3 is a detail view of one of its sections.

The attachment consists of two sections A and B and the clamp-screw. The section A has at its ends ears a, which lap alongside the edges of one jaw of the vise, and the section is secured to such jaw by the set-screw G, by a turn of which the attachment may be secured to or released from the vise. The section B is pivoted centrally to the section A so it can rock to present its face parallel to that of the vise-jaw or at any suitable angle thereto, as may be necessary to receive the tapered body.

By preference the meeting faces of the sections A B are both beveled off from their centers toward each end, as shown.

It is preferred to effect the pivoting of the sections by providing the section A with a projecting lug D, which enters a socket or recess cl in the section B, the said socket d being widened so the section B may be rocked freely, as desired. This constitutes a simple form of pivot which can be effected in the casting ofthe parts, as will be readily understood.

The attachment will be found quite convenient in securing tapered bodies in a vise, and as it is easily applied and removed need form 110 obstruction in the ordinary use of the vise.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is 1. The improved attachment for Vises herein described, consisting of the section B,provided centrally With'a socket d, and the section A, provided with means whereby it may be clamped to the vise-jaw, and provided centrally with a forwardly-projected lug fitting loosely in the socket d, forming a pivotal connection between the parts A and B, all substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. The hereindescribed attachment for Vises, consisting of the section A, provided with means by which it may be clamped to the vise-j aw, and having its front face beveled off from its center toward its opposite ends, and provided at its center with a forwardly -projected lug D, and the section B, having -its.

rear face beveled off from its center toward its opposite ends, and provided centrally with a socket d, adapted to receive the lug D, whereby to effect the pivoting of the section B, all substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

CHARLES WIES.
