April 29, 1930. A. w. CAMPBELL EXTENDIBLE VISE SUPPORT Filed July 25, 1927 L mw "T1 'Il I Patented Apr. 29, 1930 UNITE STATES ALBERT W. CAMPBELL, OF BAY CITY, MICHIGAN EXTENIDIBLE VISE SUPPORT Application ined July 25,

This invention rela-tes to visesupports and particularly to an extendible support.

One object of the invention is to design an extendible support which can be secured tol A further object is to design an eXtendible support which is easy to assemble and in-v stall.

lVith the above and other objects in view, the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the ac companying drawings, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the form, size, proportion and minor details of construction, without departing from the spirit. or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view through the body of an automotive vehicle showing my improved vise-support in place thereon.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged side view of the visesupport, the dotted lines showing it extended, and the adjustable leg swung down.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view, the vise being omitted.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken on the line 4 4 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is a similar view taken on the line 5 5 of Fig. s.

Referring now particularly to the drawing in which I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 5 indicates an automotive vehicle having the usual floor 6 to which a preferably cast base 7 is bolted, suitable openings 8 being provided for this purpose, this base is formed with spaced apart vertically disposed legs 9, and a channel member 10 is slidably mount 1927. Serial No. 208,213.

ed therebetween, being held in position by means of spaced apart transversely disposed straps 11 secured to the base 7 by means of bolts 12, which are threaded to receive strap nuts 13 in the usual manner, compression springs 14 being interposed between the strap and the base to provide a spring tensioned connection. Y

A. plate 15 is riveted to the front end of the channel 10, and a conventional vise-16 is` bolted thereto, an angle clip 17 being riveted to the face of the channel at its opposite end, and serves as a stop to limit the outward travel of the channel. x

When the channel is extended beyond the vehicle, it will be obvious that the free end thereof must be supported, and this I 4accomplish by providing an adjustable leg 18 which is pivotally secured to the channel by means of the transversely disposed pin 19 on'which a sleeve 20 is revolubly mounted, an internally threaded tubular member 21 is secured on said sleeve,l and is adapted to receive the member 22 having a base 23 se` cured thereto, or formed integral therewith, this base being of suitable size to permit it to be accommodated between the legs of the channel and the base 7.

In practise whenit is desired to thread or out pipe, or when it is necessary for any pur pose to extend the vise beyond thevehicle, the operator loosens the strap nuts 13, slides the channel member 10 outwardly, drops vthe leg 18 to position as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, adjusts it to proper height, tightens the strap nuts, and the channel is properly supported and the vise is ready for use.

When the operation is completed, the operator loosens the strap nuts, swings the adjustable leg 18 upwardly, slides the channelV inwardly to position shown in Fig. 1, tightens the strap nuts, and the device is secured in position. The stop limits the outward travel, and the springs prevent rattling and give suflicient resiliency to the support when eX- tended.

From the foregoing description it will be obvious that I have perfected a very simple,

substantial and convenientv adjustable visev leo X/Vhat I claim is n 1. An eXtendible vise-support comprising a stationary base plate, anvextendible vise supporting member 'slidably mounted thereon, and a foldable leg pivotally secured to the end of said supporting member, and adapted to be accommodated between the base and the supporting member-wlientlie vise support is not in use.

2. An extendible Y vise-support comprising Va base havingV spaced apart vertically disosed leO's an extendible vise suo ortinO' v b 7 C member slidably mounted on' said baseV and vprovided with an adjustable. ioldable leg, and resilient Connections between said base and supporting member'. Y

3'. An e-Xterndible vise-support Comprising a base, an extendible member slidably mountedthereon, an adjustable ioldable leg pivotally Connected to said supporting member, a

stop on the supporting member for limiting the outward travel thereof, and means for clamping said member in various adjusted positions. Y

4. An entendible vise-support comprising a base, an entendible vise supporting member slidably mounted on said base and having an adjustable foldable leg pivotally connected theretoand oldable against the bottom of the supporting member to permit the supporting member and leg being slid inwardly over the base plate when the vise support is not vin use, and means for securing said supporting member in its various adjusted positions.

5. An extendible vise-support Comprising `an elongated base, a vise supporting member slidably mounted thereon, and provided with an adjustable. oldable leg pivotally secured thereto, and 'oldable against the bottom of 'the' supporting member to permit the leg and supporting member being slid inwardly over the base plate when not in use, means for holding. said supportingmember in Vits various adjusted positions, and means for limiting'tlie outward travel of said member.
