UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES W. MORRILL, OF BUTTE CITY, MONTANA.
GAGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part 0f Letters Patent No. 452,677', dated May 19, 1891.
Application filed August 15, 1890. Serial No. 362,067. (No model.)
To rall whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES W. MORRILL,
of Butte City, in the county of Silver Bow and i Reference is to be had to the accompanyingdravvings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure l is a perspective View of the device as applied to a rule and in use to lay off par- Fig. 2 is an enlarged detached view of the gage; and Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the device, taken on the line c .t in Fig. 2, viewed in the direction of the arrowY in said view.
The stock A of the gage is preferably bent from a single piece of sheet metal, although it may be cast into form and finished in any desired manner.
As shown, the device consists of an elongated iiat plate a., having one edge turned up at a right anglefthus producing aborder-liange b. One end of the plate ct, which is termed a table, has a depending transverse portion formed onit that serves as a guide for the entire device when in use. 'Said guide-fiange c, being turned down at a right angle to the table a, is rounded on its corners and parallel on its edges to render the device shapely.
At a proper point a yoke-clamp is secured on the table a, said clamp consisting of ,a rectangular bar bent into U form, one limb d of which is secured on the lower side of the table a, the connecting-Web d having engage.
As shown in Fig. l, the gage may be secured upon a two-foot rule by placing the rule on the table c., having the limb cl2 of the clamp d projected above the rule, so that the setscrew c may be adjusted to clamp the gage at any desired point on the rule.
When the device is clamped to a rule or other measuring-stick or upon the graduated blade of a carpenters square, it is apparent that by sliding the gage along the edge of a board, .keeping the guide-flange c in bearing contact with the same, the end of the rule, square, or yard-stick that is allowed to project beyond the guide-plate may be utilized, as shown, to guide a pencil in the hand 0f an operator, and thus produce a line parallel to the edge of the board.
As the gage can be quickly applied and readily moved to adjust it on a rule at any desired point, it affords a very convenient and compact adjunctive implement', which Will be of service to Wood or metal Workers, and will also be of advantage to a draftsman.
Having thus described my invention, I claim l. A gage constructed of metal and provided f with a table having a border-flange and a guide-flange, a yoke-clamp secured on the table, and a set-screw in one of the limbs of the border-flange, and a U-shaped clamp secured on the table of the gage, having a limb proj ecting over the face of the table and adapted to receive a set-screw to clamp the gage on a rule or other measure of length, substantially as set forth.
CHARLES V. MORRILL.
