J. ANDERSON QUICK A CTION VISE Filed Dec. 16. 1922 W WW/m Patented Nov. 27, 1923.

unirse TES JULIUS ANDERSON, OF IVIENNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.

QUIGK-ACTON VISIE.

Application led December 16, 1922.

TO all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JULiUs ANDERSON, a subject of the King of Sweden, but have taken outk niy iirst naturalization papers in the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Quick- Action Vises; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the saine.

This invention relates to quick action vises for use on an ordinary work bench or table and is especially designed for use on the top surface of the bench.

It is an object of this invention to provide a vise which may be quickly adjusted and operated for all sizes of objects within an extensive range.

It is an additional. object to provide a vise which employs a cani action clamping device involvingl few parts and small cost of manufacture;

A further object of this. invention is to provide a vise especially adapted to hold a board or other object for planing and one which will project only slightly` above the top of the bench so as not to he in the way of the plane.

These and other objects of the invention will be fully set forth in the following description made in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the several views, and, in which- Fig. 1 is a plan view of the vise in its preferred form with some parts broken away;

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken through the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;

F ig. 3 is a vertical section showing the operation of the cammiiig clamp taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; and

Fig. 4 is a vertical section taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, a. base coniprising two members 5 is preferably constructed by securing the same together in spaced relation by end plates 6 secured to the two base members at either end. A relatively narrow anchoring base 7, preferably of metal having a plurality of spaced perfo* rations 8 formed therein is secured to the two base members 5 at its edges and allows the Serial No. 607,399.

perforations 8 to lie directly above the space between the two base members 5. At one end of this perforated anchoring base 7 ak stop member 9 isV secured forming a fixed jaw of the vise. An independent carrier plate 10 having' depending lugs 11 Vand 12 is adapted to be anchored to said anchoring base 7 by means of the two depending lugs 11 and 12 co-operating with the perforations 8 on base 7, at various desired positions along the entire length of the anchoring base. The depending anchoring lug 11 is provided with a notch 13 which prevents displacement of the carrier plate 10 when said plate is anchored and the other 'anchoring lug 12 is movable in a slot 14 on the carrier plate to permit ready engagement with a corresponding perforation in said anchoring base, when it is wished to secure thecarrier plate to vthe anchoring base.

A clamping plunger 15 is carried on one end of the carrier plate 10* and is slidable in the guide 16 secured to the plate 10. For actuating this clamping plunger 15, a horizontal cam lever 17 is provided pivoted to the top of the carrier plate 10 and in engagement with the inner end of clamping plunger 15.

The operation of applicants vise from the above description is probably obvious. A board X is placed on top of the anchoring base 7 and pushed against the stop 9. The carrier plate 10 is then anchored to its anchoring base 7 in close relation to the other end of the board. The cam lever 17 is then operated, actuating the clamping plunger 15 and tightly holding the board with4 the co-operation of the stop 9. s

Frein the above description, it is apparent that applicant has provided an extremely simple and eihcient vise which may be quickly adjusted for all lengths of objects within an extensive range. The carrier plate with its camming lever projects only a slight distance above the top of the bench as will be seen in Fig. 3 and does not interfere with the planing of a thin bo-ard.

1t will, of course, be understood that various changes may be made in the form, details and pro-portions of the parts without departing from the scope of applicants invention, which generally stated consists in the matter shown and described and set forth in the appended claims.

What is claimed is:

1. A quick-action vise comprising a base,

a flat plate secured thereto and adapted to support a board, a plate having an upwardly projecting portion permanently seeured to one end of said plate and forming an abutment for the endof said board, a Hat member above said iirst mentioned plate and adapted to be freely moved by hand lengthwise thereof While detached therefrom, means carried by said member for connecting the same to said last mentioned plate at various*pointsvtherealonga jaw slidable onv said member, and means for moving said jaw a short distance and clamping the same against said. board.

2. A quick action vise comprising a flatplate adapted to support a board, said plate having spaced peiforations therein, an abutmentof sho-rt height secured to one end of said plate, a plate slidable on said plate and carrying pins adapted to engage in said perforations to hold said second mentioned plate in various positions, a jaiv of short vertical height mounted to slide in said last mentioned plate, and a handle-carrying spiral cam abutting the outer end of said .'aw to move and clama` the same avainst a. board cont-acting said abutment.

In testimony whereof I; afx my signature.
