SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 787,054, dated April 11, 1905.

` Application filed October 22, 1904. Serial. No. 229,520. l

To al whom it may concern.:

Be it known that we,.EDMUND A. Soi-IADE and ALBERT F. SCHADE, citizens of the United States, residing at New Britain, Hartford county, Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Planes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact' description.

Our invention relates to improvements in planes.

The object of the invention is to provide a of fthe hand, which are liable to be bruised.

/mflhe invention is illustrated in the accompanying single sheet of drawings.

The body of the plane carries a bearing for lthe handle, so that the handle can be tilted to either side and secured in place or used in a vertical position, as is customary.

-Figure l is a side elevation of a plane, showing those parts which embody the improvements of our invention in vertical section.

2 is a Yfragmentary detail showing the 3 is a handleof suitabe conformation and' material.

4 is a bearing for the handle, which extends lengthwise of the body for some distance.

This is shown integral with the body; but it` is obvious that it may be made separate and bolted ory riveted or otherwise secured in place.

5 is a pin or roller which is mounted in the vbearing-block 4 and adapted to rotate or oscillate from side to side through a limited eX-` tent.

6 is a rod which is screw-threaded at the lower end vand takes into the pin 5.

7 is a screw-cap cooperating with the upper end of the rod 6 for securely clamping the parts together.

Theparts are preferably assembled by first attaching the rod 6 to the pin 5, then slipping the handle member 3 over the rod 6, and lastly fixing the cap 7 in place. By tightening the cap the handle may be securely held in place on its seat on the bearing-block 4 in any position, as indicated, for instance, in dotted-- lines in Fig. 3, Y

`While this construction is exceedingly simple, it does provide a means for avoiding such accidents as in the past have been quite common when using an ordinary plane in certain positions-such as, for instance, planing deep rabbets or when operating upon jack-boards. The handle, moreover, may be secured in place in the ordinary upright position for usual Work.

It is obvious that many changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the spirit or scope of our invention.

l. 'In aplane, the combination of a body or stock portion having a long semicylindrical bearing, 'a handle member having a corresponding semicylindrical bearing, a pin mounted to oscillate in the body portion and a rod passing through said handle member and secured to said pin with means to coact ltherewith for clamping the handle in position at diiierent angular positions.

2. In a plane, the combination of a body or Vstock portion having a longitudinal bearing, a

handle tiltingly seated thereon, a pin mounted in said body portion and a rod passing through said handle and screwed into saidpin with means for coactingtherewith and clamping said handle in position.

3. lnaplane the eombinationofabody p0r- Signed at New Britain, Connecticut, this tion having a bearing, a handle mounted to 20th day of October, 1904. tilt thereon. a pin rotatably mounted in said EDMUND A. SCHADE. stock portion beneath said bearing, a rod i Y passing' through said handle and Screw-Seated ALBERl Il' SCHADE in said pin and a cap eoaeting with Said rod Vfitnesses:

and Said handle and accessible for Clamping W. J. VVORAM,

said handle in position. E. G. HOFFMAN.
