The screws 36 carry gears 37 and may be concurrently actuated byV an intermediate gear 38'carried on a s uared shaft 39 for the attachment of an `or inaryr crank byuwhich the adjustment may beYei'fected-at w1 The platen or work support 1 is given a rectilinear feed movement bv feeding the table 2 along thai-rays 7. T is feed move? ment is eiiected by a spur gear 40 en agin rack 41 formed in t e bed 'i2 vtill remain at rest t 31, so that the .squared end `shaping t e edges of' thc vbearing 56 vertically 45, and the gear 40 is xed on a short sha ft 42 journaled 1n the table 2. ing with it the platen 1,'may be fed in either lateral direction at will by ordinary tumbler gears lorming a connection between the gear 21arI a s ur gear 44 fixed ou the shaft 42. 'lli-'tiunb er gears are carried by a twoarmed rockable frame 45 pivoted on theoulcr end of the short shaft 42 and rockablc to three positions, in any one oi which it lhaybe held by a spring pin `lt engagcablc in co1'- responding holes in the cud of thc table 2 as shown. When the pin Hl is in tht` lniddlc hole, as shown in the drawings: (Fig. 4), ilu' short shaft 42 will be rotated io feed ilu' table along' the ways in oml direct ion of The table 2, carrymovement#when the pin is in thc hole al the A right, the shaft. 42 will be given an opposite' rotation to feed the table in the opposite direction; and when the pin is placed in the hole atv the left, the tumbler gears4 will be disconnected from thel gear 2l and the shaft and the table will not be fed but will remain stationary.. )Vhcn the tumbler gears are thus disconnected from the gear 21` the table may be adjusted to dif ferent positions along the ways. and to cfiect this adjustment an adjusting shaft 47 (Fig. 3) is journaled in thc bed 5 and carries a spur gear 48 which engages a rack 49 formed on the bottoni or lower side of the table 2` the shaft 47 being provided with a as shown for the reception of a crank. The platen 1 is shown asfprovided on its upper side with T-grooves 50 to permit of the work being secured in place h v ordinary clamps, and a usual drainage channell extendsaround the edge of the. platen.

The tools shown as Supported or carried on the tool carriage or tool carrier 52 are a rotaryv grinder 53 and a jointiulgr san' 54. The rinder 53 is 'for dressing or stone and the yjomti'ng ,saw 54-` is for cutting the stone along straight lines. The grinder 5S is formed of abrasive material. as indicated inthe drawings. and the jointing saw 54 1s shown as fornied of abrasive material the same as the grinder 53. but, so far as the present invention is' concerned. conse uence what kind of saw blade is eniployer or of what 4material it is composed.

[n fact. one kind of san' blade could be sulsame machine. grinder 53 is 1mounted on a vertical 55 journaled in ashaft hanger or shaft adjustable in guides or ways 57 formed on the carriage thc shaft being rovided with collars TIS so that the shaft and) grinder are vertically adjustable irith the shaft hanger 56. To eii'ect this adjustment` a vertical screw .39 is journaled in bearings on the carriage as shown and has screw-threaded engagement with an exten- .--:tituted for another in the The shaft A sion` 6Q fron1 the shaft hanger, and is a1'- it is of no h and wheel G2.

To actuate the grinder 53 a spur gear 63 is provided and is shown as formed integral with a flanged sleeve 64 journaled in a bearing 65 fixed on the carriage. The shaft 55 passes loosely through the sleeve 64 and a tooth clutch 66, controlled by a hand lever 146 (Figs. 1, 2 and 3), is splined on the shaft 55, so as to permit actuation of the grinder 53 without regard to its vertical adjustment relatively to the carriage, and is adapted to connect the gear 63 with the rinder shaft 55 and to disconnect it theretfrom at will. The gear 63 is rotated by a spur gear 67 (Fig. 8) mounted. on the top of the carriage 52 and formed integral with a' bevel gear 68, which, in turn, is engaved by a bevel gear 69 provided with a ianged sleeve 70 journaled in a bracket 71 on carria e and splined on a longitudinally ar range driving shaft 72, as shown, so as to permit actuation of the gear 67, and consequently of the grinder, wlthout regardto the rectilinear adjustment of feeding movement of the carriage longitudinally to the shaft 72.

The jointing saw 54 is mounted on a short horizontal shaft 73 journaled in an Lshaped shaft hanger 74 vertically adjustable in guides or ways 75 formed on the carriage 52, the jointing saw and its shaft,of course, partaking of this adjustment. Toeffect this adjustment a vertical screw 7 6 (Fig. 7 is journaled in bearings on the carriage as shown and has screw-threaded,engagement ywith an extension or bracket arm 7 7 secured tothe shaft hanger 74, and is arranged to be actuated vby bevel gears 78 and a hand wheel 79. To actuate the jointing saw, the jointing saw shaft 73 is provided with a bevel gear 80 engaged by a bevel gear 81 on a vertical shaft 82 xjournaled in a bearing on the shaft hanger 74 and passing upward loosely through a flanged sleeve 83 journaled in a portion of the carriage 52. The sleeve 83 carries a spur gear 84 which is connected u by an idler 85 with the grinder-actuating gear 67, Aabove noted, so that the jointing saw actuatin gear 84 is rotated from the driving sha t 72. The gear 84 may be engaged with the shaft 82 to rotate the same by an ordinary tooth clutch 86 controlled by a hand lever 87 (Figs. 1 and 7), the clutch 86 being `*splined on the shaft 82, as shown, to permit actuation of the j ointing saw without regard to its vertical adjustment relatively to the carriage.

It is evident that by manipulating the clutches 66 and" 86, either the grinder 53 or the jointing saw 54 may be actuated from the driving shaft 72, or both the grinder and the jointing saw can be actuated at once should any contingency arise in which both could be employe while manipulation of the

hand wheels

62 and 79 gives vertical adjustinent of the grinder and of the jointing L saw relatively to the work supported on the platen 1. `Whichever of these tools (the grinder and the jointing saw) is not in use the way of the operation of the other, and in l the drawings both of these tools are shown as elevated to their highest positions relatively to the carriage 52.

carried thereby, is arranged to have both a rectilinear and a curvilinear horizontal feed movement. To permit of these movements the carriage 52 is mounted to slide longitudiframe 88 which is adapted to swing laterally or horizontally as a w'hole, the sliding movement of thei carriage on the arm permitting the rectilinear feed movement of the carriage mitting the `curvilinear feed movement of the carriage. To accurately guide the carriage 52 in its rectilinear` movements, the car riage is provided with dove-tail gibs which as shown in the drawings.

longitudinally. of the arm 88 a feed screw 89 is journaled at its ends in the arm 88, ex-

such arm, and has a screw-threaded engagement with a nut 90 on the carriage (Fig. 8). A screw actuating fpinion 91 is loosely mounted on the end o the feed screw 89 and such feed screw and dlsconnected therefrom by an ordinary tooth clutch 92 controlled by a hand lever 93. The pinion 91 is engaged by a spur gear 94 fixed on a stub shaft 95 journa 88 as shown. Two bevel pinions 96 and 97 are loosely mounted on the stub shaft 95 between its bearings and are rotated in opposite directions by a bevel gear 98 carried on journaled on the frame or arm 88. A tooth clutch 100 of ordinary form, controlled by a hand lever 101 (Fig. 2), is arranged between the

pinions

96 and 97 so as to engage them shaft may be drivenjn either direction to feed the carriage in either direction along the Ways. The feed of the carriage may be stopped either by placing the clutch 100 in clutch 92, at'the end of the screw 89. The stub shaft 95, outward from the gear 94, is provided with a squared portion as shown for the attachment of a crank to adjust the its feed movement, the clutch 92 then being engaged and the clutch 10G being disengaged or in its median position so as to leave the shaft 95 free. The sleeve 99 is rotated is adjusted to its highest position out of 70 The carriage 52, together with the tools nally on a horizontally arranged arm`o1 8c and the swinging movement of the arm per- 85 ,To feed the 'carriage 52 along the ways i tending substantially from end to end of 95 engage with dove-tail ways on the

is adapted to be engaged or connected with 10U ed in bearings on the frame or arm 105 the lower end of a long vertical sleeve 99 110 alternately .with the shaft 95, sothat this its median position or by disengaging the carriage along the ways independently of byV a worm wheel 102 tixed thereon and en 130 gaged by a worm 103 carried by the driving shaft 72.

To permit swinging or curvilinear feed movement of the tool carriage the frame or arm SS is pivoted at one of its ends on a supporting yoke or bracket 104 and is guided and supported at its other end by a curved or arcuate guide rail 105. To inipart the swinging t'eed movement of the arm HS the guide rail 105 is provided with a rack 106 engaged by a gear 10T fixed on a shaft 10hl journaled in the long vertical sleeve ttt). The gear 10i' and shaft 103 are 'adapted tohe engaged with the sleeve 99 to be rotated thereby by an ordinary tooth clutch tot) controlled by a hand lever 110 (Fig. 2). The. sleeve 119` as above noted. is rotated from the driving shaft 72 by a Worm 103 and Worm wheel 102. The driving shaft T2 is arranged to be driven by a verticalrmain shaft 111 concentric with the pivot ofthe swinging arm o1' frame HH. The main shaft 111 passes loosely through two

bevel gears

112 and 113 shown as formed integral with Banged sleeves iournaled on the arm 88. and the gears 112 and 1121 both engage a bevel gear 11st fixed on the adjacent end of the driving shaft T2. tooth clutch 115 of ordinar-y form is arranged between the gears-` 112 and 113 so as to engage them alternately with the main shaft'111 to rotate the shaft T2 in either direction and thereby impart a swinging' er curvilinear feed movement to the carriage in one direction or the other as desired. The driving shaft T2 will be at rest when the clutch 115 occupies a median position. This clutch is controlled by a hand lever 111'. The clutch 115 is splined on the main shaft 111 as shown to permit actuation of the drivingl shaft 72 regardless of vertical adjustment of the arm 88. lt` is evident that when the driving shaft T2 is at rest the grinder 5:1 and the jointing saw 54 will be at rest and also that no feed of the carriage .321. either rectilinear or curvilinear. can take place. The main shaft 111 is also connected to the counter shaft 31. to furnish power for etl'ecting the above .described feed movements to thc platen 1. A wor1n1'l7carried by the main shaft 111 engages a worm `wheel 11S fixed on a cross-shaft 119 carrying a gear 12t1incshing with a gear 121 fixed on the counter shaft 211. The main shaft 111 may be driven from any convenient source of power b v means of albeit pulley 122.

To enahle the jointing saw 54 to cut a true radial surface relatively to the swing- 'ing arm Hs ilufare of the saw 54 adjacent to auch cut fare must lie in the same plane as the axis of the pivot of the swinging arm Ml. and it is evident that to cut true radial faces at opposite ends of` the work. for eX- ample. as indicated in Fig. ll. the saw 54 'must be adjusted laterally a distance equal tothe thickness et' the saw. To effect this adjustment a washer 14T is provided which may be placed on the shaft 73 at either side of the saw 54 to brin either face of the saw into the desired allnement, the Washer being of the same thickness as the saw.

To accommodate work-` of different thicknessesthe arm or frame 8S may be adjusted vertically or raised and lowered. To perlnit of this adjustment the yoke or support 10-1 is mounted to slide on a column or post 123. aml the ends of the curved guide 105 are supported on hollow legs 124 teleseoping into hollowposts or columns 125. 'l`o effect this adjustment a lifting screw 120. journaled on the column 123. engages an elevating nut 12T on the yoke 104. and vertical lshafts 128 within the posts 125 carry lifting worms 129 engaging elevating racks 130 in the hollow legs 124. The vertical shafts 12H are connected together to be actuated in. unison by a transverse connecting shaft 131 (Figs. 2l and 1)l geared at its ends to the shafts 128. The pitch of the lifting screw 121' is such that it and the lifting worms 129 are driven at the proper rate soy that the arm or frame 88 may be fed up and down with an equal and parallel movement of all its parts. The' lifting screw 120 and the vertical shafts 128 are connected together to he actuated concurrently' by intermediary connections comprising a vertical-adjusting sha ft. 132 (Figs. 1. and 3). a short upright intermediate shaft 133. and a horizontal connecting shaft 1F14, the adjusting shaft 132 being geared to the lifting screw 120. the shafts 132. 133, and 1511 being geared to-` gether. and the connecting shaft 134 heilig geared to the transverse lshaft 1?1` as shown in the drawings. By rotating-the verticaladjusting shaft 1212, the height of the tool carriage 52 above the platen 1 may be adjusted. the direction of the screw threads of the lifting screw 120 and of the worms 129 being such as to operate in harmony to raise or lower the arm or frame SR.

The vertical-adjusting shaft 132 is connected with the cross-shaft 119 so as to berotated thereby in either direction` while the cross-shaft 119 rotates in one or in an unchanged direction. The connecting means between these two shafts is shown as a belt 135 passing over a long belt pulley 15111 carried by the crossshaft 110 and is adapted to engage any one of three pulleys 13T. 13S and 139 on the adjusting shaft` 132. according as the latter shaft is to be driven in one direction or the other or remain at' rest. and the belt may he shifted by a belt-shifting slide 110 of ordinary form. The outer or end pulley 13T is loose on the shaft 1-12 and.`

l"re'ctio'n of rotation as the cross-shaft 119.

' other parts ring the Work-feeding clutch 32 and the toolfeeding and tool-driving clutch 115, the vertical-adjustment just described may be accomplished singly, without actuating any of the machine.

In the modification illustrated in Fig. 12, the tool carriage 52' is provided with a planer head 144 which is adapted for carrying a planing tool 145. To install the planer head 144 the shaft hanger 56 and the bear- (35 and their adjuncts, including .the

in grinder 53, are removed from the carriage 52 and the planer-head substituted. T e

carriage-52 may be fed along the-arm' or frame 88 by the feed screw 89 in the same manner as ,above described. Adjusting devices of ordinary form are provided as indicated, for adjusting the planing tool 145 relatively to the carriage 52. In operation the planing tool 145 .and the work may be fed the one relatively to the other by feedsupporting platen Yriage,

ing the carriage 52,'by feeding the Work- 1, or by feeding both the carriage and the platen as desired while the tool 145 engages the work.

By the various feeds and adjustments of the machine stones may be shaped to a great variety of forms or configurations. A stone may be shaped to an oval or substantially elliptical form, as in Fig. 13, by imparting a swinging feed movement tio the tool car- While the Work-supporting platen is stationary, to form one of the longer curves, then rotating the platen While the carriage is stationary to form a shorter curve an then reversing the position of the platen and repeating these operations to form the remaining longer and shorter curves. Also a stone could be shaped to substantially this form by rotating the platen and feeding it (by feeding the table) transversely at the same time to for the longer curves. It is evident that a hole or opening of the form indicated in this ligure, or of other sha e, can be formed or dressed out with equal i) cility. An arched stone, such as illustrated in Fi 14, may be formed by cutting a plane or radial end thereof with the jointing saw, then shaping the arched surface with the grinder, either by rotatin lthe platen or by swinging the arm, or by oing both at once, and then cutting the other plane radial end with the 'jointing saw. There is no limit to the arc of curve that may be dressed or faced as it may be anything from a point to a straight line.A The shorter curves are made by merely rotating the platen and the longer curves are made as resultante of rotating' the laten and swinging the arm, it being possible thus to describe a longer curve than would result from swinging the arm alone. The ability of the machine to describe these very long curves is particularly useful in dressing metal. An o'gee curve in a cornice stone, as illustrated in Fig. 15, may be formed by feeding the carriage along the ways and reversing the direction of rotational feed of the table during the operation. Also this result may be accomplished by swinging the arm and reversing the directioii of the rotational feed of the table. lt is obvious that a great variety of other' forms may be shaped and that innumerable variations of these forms may be produced, including combinations of straight and curved lines of varied arc of curvature. It is also obvious that the rates of the various feeding movements the one to another may be changed or varied in the well known inanner of changin the gears so as to vary the relative sizes o the gears by which the feeds are actuated. It is further obvious that any kind of material that is capable of being planed or ground may be acted upon h v this machine.

Itis obvious that various modifications may be made in the constructions shown and above particularly described Within the pe of my invention.
