JESSE R. OAKLEY, OF HOMESTEAD, PENNSYLVANIA.

WOODWORKING- h/TACHINE.

EPEGIEXGATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 695,228, dated March 11, 1902. Application filed July 12, 1901. Serial No. 67,989. (No model?) To alt whom it may con/007v]..-

Be it known that I, JESSE R. OAKLEY, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Homestead, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVoodworking Machinery, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in woodworkingmachines, andrelates more particularly to planers and the like.

The primary object of my invention is to provide means whereby the timber may be secured to the table and held and guided thereby, thus doing away with the necessity of the operator bringing his hands in too close relation with the cutters; and to this end it consists of a standard carrying an adjustable sleeve, which sleeve in turn carries a crosspiece, to which are secured arms. To these arms T ends are preferably secured, which carry springs engaging the side and edge of the piece of timber operated on.

A further object of my invention is to enable one of the ends of the arms carried by the cross-piece to have an angular adjustment whereby the piece of timber may be angularly disposed in order that a bevel may be cut thereon; furthermore, aims to simplify the construction and toincrease the efiiciency and durability of the device.

With the above and many other objects in view the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangementof parts to be hereinafter more fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

In describing the invention in detail refer' ence is hadto the accompanying drawings, formingapart of this specification, and wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View of a portion of a planerhaving my improved attachment secured thereto. Fig. 2 is an end view thereof. Fig.3 is a side elevation of the adjustable guard. Fig. 4. is an end elevation thereof. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the standard upon which the cross-piece carrying the guides is mounted. Fig. 6 is a front elevation there- Tying one of the guides.

of. Fig. 7 is a side elevation of the arm car- Fig. Sis a front elevation thereof. Fig. 9 is a side elevation of one of the sleeves mounted upon the crosspiece. Fig. 10 is a front elevation thereof.

In these drawings the reference-numeral 1 indicates the table of the planer, and extending transversely through said table is the plane or cutter.

The reference-numeral 2 indicates a head having an opening 3 formed therein engaging the cross-piece 4L. Arranged to the side of said head is a set-screw 5, which serves to lock the head upon the cross-piece 4. This head 2 carries a dovetail 6, carrying an adjustable guide 7, which is slidingly secured in said dovetail. This slide 7 likewise carries a dovetail upper extension 8, in which is slidingly mounted a guide-section 9. This guide extends over the opening formed in the table for the plane or cutter and extends in close proximity to the timber that is to be planed.

The above has been shown and described for the purpose of illustrating an additional means or safeguard for preventing the operators hands from comingiin contact with the cutters, though I do not claim such as part of my invention.

The reference-numeral 10 indicates a standard arranged to the side of the planer, said standard carrying a guideway 11 for the reception of a base 12, which is rigidly secured thereto and is secured to the body portion of the planer by means of nuts and bolts 14. Upon the standard 10 is arranged a sleeve 15, carrying a set screw 16, which operates against the side of thestandard. This sleeve 15 carries a casing 17, which extends transversely to the sleeve 15, but is formed integral therewith. In this casing 17 is arranged aset-screw 18, and in the sleeve 17 is slid ingly secured a cross-piece 19. Upon this cross-piece sleeves 2O 21 are also slidingly mounted, said sleeves being similar in construction to the sleeve 15. In the sleeve is adjustably secured an arm 22, carrying a T end 23, upon thisT end being secured a spring 24L, having downwardly extending curved ends 25. In the sleeve 21 is also secured an arm 26, in which is formed a hinged connection 27, carrying a set-screw 28, the lower end of said arm 26 carrying a T-shaped ICO head 29, upon the lower face of which is secured a spring 30, having downwardly-extending curved ends 31.

The operation of my improved machine is as follows: The sections 2, 7, and 9, forming the guard, are adjusted to cover the opening arranged in the table of the machine for the planer or cutter, the arm 22 being adjusted in a manner that will allow the spring to bear upon the upper edge of the timber, as shown in Fig. l of the drawings, and the hinged arm is adjusted in a manner that will allow the ends of the spring 31 to bear at right angles against the face of the timber. This is also shown in Fig. 1. When it is desired to out the timber on a bevel, the machine may be adjusted to the position as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, which will be readily understood.

The many advantages obtained by the use of my improved attachment will be readily apparent from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

It will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a woodworking-machine, a standard,

a sleeve, carried by the said standard, a cross-.

piece carried by the sleeve, arms carried by the cross-piece, T ends carried by the arms, and springs carried by said T ends, substantially as described.

2. In a woodworking-machine, a standard carried by a base, a sleeve carried by the standard, a cross-piece carried by the sleeve, arms carried by the cross-piece, T ends carrying springs on said arms, and means whereby one of said arms may have its T end angularly adjustable, substantially as described.

3. In a woodworking-machine, a standard carrying a cross piece, arms adjustably mounted on said cross-piece, means carried by the ends of the said arms for securing springs thereto, and means carried by one of said arms whereby the end thereof may be angularly adjustable, substantially as described.

4. In a woodworking-machine, a base, a

standard carried thereby, a sleeve mounted on the standard, said sleeve being adjustable, a cross-piece carried by the standard, said cross-piece being adjustable, sleeves adjustably mounted on said cross -piece, arms mounted in said sleeves, T ends carried by the ends of said arms, springs carried by the said T ends, and a hinged connection formed on one of said arms whereby the ends thereof may be angularlyadjustable, substantially as described.

5. In a woodworking-machine, astandard carrying a cross-piece, arms carried by said cross-piece and being vertically and horizontally adjustable, springs, means carried by said arms for supporting said springs, one of said arms being hinged so as to permit angular adjustment of its end, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

JESSE R. OAKLEY.
