E. O. VAN HORN. GARPENTERS GAGE.
Patented Sept. 29, 1891.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDWARD o. VAN HORN, OF DENVER, COLORADO.
CARPENTERS GAGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 460,236, dated September 29, 1891.
Application filed May l, 1891- Serial No. 391,183. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be itknown that I, EDWARD O. VAN HORN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Denver, in the county of Arapahoe and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carpenters Gages; and I do hereby declare the 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.
My invention has reference to improve ments in gages for carpenters use, and more especially that class which are designated as hinge-gages, the object being to provide a simple and cheaply-made device which will enable the workman to gage up against the door-casing and which will, by reason of its double-ended character, determine the depth and thickness of a hinge without the necessity of readjusting the parts.
To these ends myinvention consists in the construction and relative arrangement of the several parts constituting my improved gage, all of which will be presently fully and clearly set forth in the following description, and specifically pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents in side elevation myimproved gage, and Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of the same.
A denotes the stock, which is formed of a strip of wood rectangular in its cross-section and which is formed With the holes b I) and grooves c c for receiving and holding the spurs d cl. Each of these spurs is constituted of a piece of Wire,having its ends bent in diferent directions, the part c entering the hole formed therefor in the stock, the part 6 entering the groove, and the spur end c projecting a short distance beyond and below the end of the stock.
The heads or blocks ff are constructed of wood and are provided centrally with rectangular holes g, through which the stock passes.
h h are set-screws, which hold the heads at any desired positions along the length of the stock.
By reason of the projecting spur the workman is enabled tO gage up against the doorcasing, which is a decided advantage over the stock-gage in present use and in which the spur is set a distance back of the end of the stock.
I have shown in the drawings the gage set for hinge-Work, the left-hand head determining the depth of the hinge and the right-hand head the thickness of the hinge.
By my invention I am enabled to manufacture at small cost a gage for carpenters EDWARD G. VAN HORN.
