Description

WINFIELD S. STOGKWELL, OF ATHOL, MASSACHUSETTS.
TELESCOPE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 6, 1909.
Application filed. February 27, 1907. Serial No. 359,656.
To all whom 'it may Be it known that WELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Athol, in the county ol Worcester and State oi Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Teletripod scopes, of which the following is a tion.
My invention relates to a telescope7 surveyors sight tube or similar' instrument, universally adjustably mounted on its stand or tripod to facilitate the leveling ol the same and providing in combination therewith novel means for adjusting the instrument vertically and horizontally within said mounting.
speciiica I, WINEIELD S. Srooiij My invention resid particularly in the i 'following features of construction aud arrangement hereinafter described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improvements7 Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof, and Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3MB of Fig. 2 loolring in the direction of the arrows.
Referring to the figures l represents a sighting tube 1 mounted through the sup porting' collars 2 and 3 carried on the ends ot the yoke trame 4. The collars 2 and 3 are constructed of greater diameter than the sight tube 1 in order to allow of adjustment within themselves of said tube; collar 2 being provided with alined threaded openings in a vertical plane for the reception of the adjusting screws 5 having conical points iitting into depressions or concavities in the tube 1, and collar 3 being provided with similar alined threaded openings in a horizontal plane for the reception ol adjusting screws 6, operating' on the sight tube 1 in a similar manner as the adjusting screws 5. Thus it will be seen that said tube 1 may be adjusted vertically or horizontally as desired by the use of the screws 5 and 6 arranged in the collars the yoke frame.
The yoke frame 4 supports upon its upper face, a level 7, and is mounted in turn upon a circular plate 8 having a centrally located boss 9 on its lower face. Aball 1() is mounted l l l l l l l l l l on a stem 11 extending centrally through said loess 9 and plate 8 and through the yolie frame 4;. A nut 12a is suitably connected on the upper portion et the stein 11 forming holding means for the yoke trame 4. The or stand comprises legs 12 ot the ordinary type mounted beneath the stationary 'plate 13. As shown in Fig. 1 the ball 1() is seated in a socket formed by a con cavity in the plate 13 and a concavity arranged in a plate 1.4L adjustably connected to said plate 13 by means of screws 15. Thus the yoke frame carrying the sight tube may be swung or adjusted to a level position by means of adjusting thumb screws 16 mounted through the stationary plate 13 and bearing upwardly against the plate 8 to adjust said frame to a level position as read from the spirit level '7. Thus it will be seen that l provide an improved device in which every adjustment is provided for and in which a novel, simple and inexpensive construction is employed to this end.
Having thus 'fully described my invention what l claim is:
A device of the character described7 com rising a suitably supported yoke frame provided with relatively large integral cylindrical collars at the extremities thereof7 one of said collars being provided with diametrically arranged screw-threaded apertures in a substantially vertical plane, and the other ol' said collars being provided with dialnetrically arranged screw-threaded apertures in a substantially horizontal plane., set scre\` s operating through said apertures upon each of said collars, a sight tube provided with recesses upon the periphery thereol adjustably mounted through each of said cylindrical collars and upon said set screws therein, said set screws working within said apertures upon the periphery of said sight tube, substantially as described.
ln testimony whereoi` l ailiX my signature 2 and 3 respectively of in presence of two witnesses.
