dwp- IMPROVEMENT IN GAUGE FIOR WEATHER-BOARDING. 4
V The Schedule referredt in theseLetters Patent ana making part of the same,
clare that the following is a full and exact-description thereof', reference being had to4 the accompanying drawings, and to the letters thereon. 4
The nature of vmy invention consists in the-constructioi; of a setgauge, composed of a slotted or mortised bar'or body, having a projection at each end, a movable hook in one of the mortises; which hook is pressed downward lby a spring, and'also anadj ustable block, moving in another of the mortisesin the main body, to mark or lay oii the work.
In .order toV enable others skilledinthe art towhich my invention appertains, to make and use the same, 1 will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to, the annexed' drawings, in which-' lfigure l is a perspective view of the entire gauge, and
Figure 2 is a side view of'a portion of the main lpdy, showing the manner of adjusting the movable ook.
A represents a bar, of suitable dimensions, which forms the body of the gauge, having at one end a projection, F, and at the otherend, on the same side, a similarv projection, L, the inner faces of said projections-being at right angles with the face of the bar A.
Thpough thebody A, between the projections F and L, are two mortises, I and K, of suitable length,
the one above the other7 leaving a solid piece between them, "as seen in iig. 1. g 1 v i In the upper mortise K is placed the tenon of av hook, O, said hool projecting vupon the same'side of `the bodyAas the projections 1F and L, and is secured by the button E, secured to said tenon on the opposite sidepof the bar A. j
To this tenon is attached a slide, D, which projects through another mortise, J, cnt through the other. sides ofthe bar A, at right angles withl and extending the same length yas the mortise K. v
To the upper side oi' the hook` C is secured a rod,
r which passes'through a hole in the upper projection- L, and issurrounded by a spiral spring, M, which presses the hook down to the lower end of the mortise K.
" In. the lower mortise I is placed the tcnon 0 of a j block, B, which projects on the side of the bar A opyof yreference marked.-
the' same side of the bar, which is graduated, as shown in iig.-1. v l
The block B 'is adjusted in the mortise I, at any distance desired from the lower end, by means oi' a set-screw, G, which passes through a slot, H, in -the side of the bar A, into the tenon O.
The upper surface R of the projection or block B outer end, with a catch, Q.
The tenen O has a pin, T, projecting forward, and
the lowerprojection F on the bar A has also a pin, e, projecting upward. v
The operation is as follows:
After having the-first or bottom board nailed on, place the projection or extension F beneath the lower edge of the board, clasp the slide D between the thumb and fore-linger, and pull upward, thereby drawing the point e into the lower edge oi' the board, and,at' the same time, raising the hook O high enough to hook over the top of the board. The hook, being held by the spiral spring M, will then clasp over the top of the board, and, by itsncline at the' under side, will draw the small point Tinto the board, the block B being previously set at any desired point, thereby marking a small mark, to show where to put the bottom ofthe next board. i
Theblockror extension Bis for the purpose of holding tlieboard while it is being marked at the ends,
preparatory to' sawing oi, and the catch Q prevents the board=from slipping off the face Bthereby1an sweriug every purpose of the lusual set-nail in weathnr er-boarding. l
The setgauge is readily removed by clasping the slide D, and pulling'upward until .the hook is raised l i above the board.
The advantages of lthsset-gauge' are- First, it is speedier thanwith the set-nail and measure. p
Second, it removes all danger of splitting the' board by'driving in setnails.` Y
Third, it leaves no set-nail holes, thereby makingv better and heater work. The set-gauge -may be made of wood, or of metal `and wood combined.
Having thus fully described my invention, p What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination of the mortised bar A, extensions F and L, hook C, slide D, spring M, block B, and points e and T, all constructed as described, in the manner and for the purposes herein set forth.
