MORITZ FIEDLER, OF ROCHESTER-N EW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND i JOHN KLEIN, OF 'SAME PLACE.

IMPROVED FILING-MACHINE.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:`

Beit known that I, MORITZ FIEDLER, of Rochester, county of Monroe, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Machine for Filing Wood or Iron at di'erent angles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clealyand exact description of the construction and opera-tion of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my machine.

` 6 6 b vb b' b represent an iron frame. a a is an iron table, hung by two pivots,`o,on opposite sides, in the frames b Zw. In the centre of table a is a sliding plate, e e, with a hole, ,'0, in its centre. z'z'are pulleys. h is a balance-wheel, with a crank, r. n is a perpendicular shaft, to which thc` file-f is attached at g. Letter represents a brace, and also a guide for the perpendicular shaft n. c is an arm or brace, which forms a guide for the upper end of the l'ef. The rod s is made to slide freely through the holes made in the arm 7c. d d is a semicircle, made solid to the table a a, and is provided with cogs. c is a horizontal gear, by which the table a a is given the proper 'position ready for use. i p

The nature of my invention consists in constructing a machine for the purpose ot' filing wood or iron at dii'- ferent angles, with a. le running perpendicularly through an adjustable table,

To enable others skilled in thc art to make and use my machine, I will proceed to describe its construction and opera-tion. I

I build a frame, b b b b b, of either wood or iron, to which I apply au adjustable table, a a, of Athe same material. The table a a is hung in the frame b b by two pivots o on opposite sides. Solid to the table are two semicircles cZ d, on the same sides with the pivots, and at equal distance from the pivots, as seen in drawing at o, which forms the pivot, and d d. the semicircle. One of the semicirclcs ol d is provided with cogs, which are tted in a horiontal gearing, e. This horizontal rod or gearing c is rotated by e, small wheel, Z, on one end of the rod, and by turning the wheel Z either one way or the other the table will move to any desired angle, and will keep its position until changed by turning the wheel Z. In or through the centre of the table a a is a sliding plate, e e, and in the centre of the sliding plate e e is an opening, p, through which the tile passes'. The lef moves perpendicular, and is made to cut downward. As the table aa is set at different angles, it becomes necessary to move the sliding plate e e so as to keep the ilef always in the centre ofthe opening'p. This hole or openingp should be'so small as to give the le suiiicient room to pass through without coming in contact with its sides. Wit-hout the sliding plate it would be necessary to have the`openingp much larger. The wood to be tiled should lie solid and close tothe file, to prevent the le from tearing the wood. The quick motion of the ilef makes a very smooth finish to the wood, so that it becomes unnecessary to use any sand-paper afterit leaves the le, thus saving a great deal of labor. v

The lefcan be shaped to suit the work, und also can be very easily removed or changed at g, as seen in drawing. The arm c is only used for heavy work to support the upper end ofthe lef.' My machine can also be used for sawing, by inserting a saw in place ofthe filo, and attaching one end to a lever above the table.

I claim the combination ofthe table a, toothed segment d, and worin e, with the slotted nitman n and crank a', arranged substantially as described.
