SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 709,399, dated September-16, 1902. Application filed January 7, 1992. Serial No. 88,710. (No model.)

To all whom/it vncty concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH F EMMERT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Waynesboro, inthe county of Franklin and State of, Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Vises; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,

clear, and exact description ofthe invention, 1

such as will enable others skilled in. the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates tovises; and it consists in the novel construct-ion and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described support is preferably the arm which supports the work-table of a drilling-machine, the work-table being removed and the vise substituted for it, so .that the work may be held by the vise under the drill of the drillingmachine. t

B is the table or frame of the vise, which is provided with a downwardly-projecting pillar or post 0 atone corner, which is pivoted in the socket a" of the armor base A and secured there by the usual clampingscrew. The post 0 may be formed integral with the table B or it may be rigidly secured to it, but the post C is preferably provided with a bearing 0 at its upper end, and the table B is preferably provided with a socket b, which isjournaled on the hearing. The bearing-socket b is split upon one side, and b is aclamping-screw for securing the table a after it has been swiveled around in a hori 5o=-fiange d on its upper side and a pivot-pin d. A

zontal plane to the required position. When the postis rigidly connected to the table, the lower end ofthe post is turned in the socket of the arm A and clamped therein after be- I ing adjusted.

D is a cylindrical bearing provided with a he pivot-pinis secured to the flange and is pivoted in lugs e at the front edge of the table. The flange is arranged between the two lugs, and E is a pointer secured! on the projecting end portion of the pivot-pin adjacent to a graduated scale 6, marked on or secured to .the exterior surface of one of the said lugs and indicating the inclination of the axis of the cylindrical bearing D. The axis of the bearing D is normallyhorizoutal, but it may be set at any angle from zero to ninety degrees by means of a screw F, which is pivoted to one side of the hearing by a pin f. This screw is operated by means of a revoluble nut f, which is supported from. the table B.

Two brackets g 9' project downwardly from the under side of the table B, the outer bracket g being removable.

G is a guide-frame which is pivoted between the lugs g g under the table and which is provided with a hole h for the passage of the screw F. The guide-frame G has two slots 7 and i, and j is a pivot on one side of the frame, which engages with a hole in the bracket g. A short shaft J isjournaled in the bracket g and in the frame G axially in line with the pivotj, so that the frame is pivoted between the two brackets g and g. A beveled toothed wheel is secured on the shaft J in the sloti of the guide-frame and gears into a beveled toothed wheel 70, formed on or secured to the nut f, which is arranged in the slot t" of the guide-frame. The shaft J is provided with a crank-handlej or other equivalent means for revolving it. When the handlej is turned by hand, the nut is revolved by the beveled toothed wheels, and the screw is moved longitudinally to vary and adjust the angle of the bearing D.

M is the inner vise-jaw, which is provided with a sleeve m, which is j ourn aled in the bear- Worm-wheel teeth mare formed in the and engages with the worm-wheel teeth, the shaft 5 being journaled in the ends of-the chamber and heldin position by the cap. The shaft 5 is provided with a small crankhandle 6 or other approved means for revolving it, and thereby revolving the inner visejaw. The bearing D has a graduated scale, and the inner jaw has a mark for setting the vise-jaws.

P is the outer vise-jaw, provided with a hollow bar p, having a longitudinal slot 11 in one side of it. The bar p is slidable longitudinally in the sleeve m of the inner vise-jaw.

R is the'usual vise-screw, which is journaled in the outer vise-jaw on the axis of the bar 19 and which engages with a nut 7",- se-- 'of gripping devices for engaging with the work, according to the nature of it, and these gripping devices are arranged in a series around the jaws, as shown, and after the manner of turret-Vises. One pair of gripping devices has cheeks 8 of hardened steel, and another pair has cheeks 9 of soft leather. Another pair of gripping devices consists of blocks 10, which are secured upon radial projections 11 on the vise-jaws. These blocks 10 have various curves and indentations on their sides, and they can be turned around upon the projections 11 and secured to them, so as to hold a great'variety of objects of irregular shape. The various gripping devices of the-turret vise-jaws are brought into action by turning the vise-jaws on their axis by means of the worm and worm-wheel teeth. The vise and its table are moved and adjusted as required and are so arranged as to have a practically universal adjustment.

What I claim is- -1. In a vise, the combination, with a supporting-base, of a flat vise-table pivoted to the base and lnovable'in a horizontal plane, a bearing hinged to one edge of the said visetable, and vise-jaws carried by the said bearing, substantially as set forth.
