- a tubular extension 36 Attached to or formed integral with th sleeve 36 of knee 36 is a tubular extension 36 and loosely fitted in this extension and secured to the bracket 33 of the collar 33 is a guide rod or shaft 21, the lower end of which is received and also secured in a tubular bracket 80 of acollar 80 loosely sleeved upon the column 5 and capable of rotation around the same adjacent to the point where said column is connected to the vertical extension 6' of the base 6.
- this shaft or rod 21 is secured parallel with the column 5, and it therefore serves as a guide, which while rotating with the work-supporting table 37 and the collars 33, 36, and 44 as the table is adjusted around the column compels said table to reciprocate in a fixed path.
- a perforated lug 36 Projecting from the collar 80 are two arms or lugs 80 and also projecting from the knee 36 is a perforated lug 36 which is closed or cupped on its under side, as at 36, for a purpose hereinafter stated. Passing between the lugs 80 is a lifting-rod 46, the upper end of which is inserted in the perforated lug 36 above mentioned, and this lifting-rod is, as
- a treadle 51 threaded intermediate its length at 47 and carries on said threaded portion a pair of check-nuts 48, and is also threaded at its lower end, as at 49, and is inserted in a nut 50, having an angular extension 50, to which a treadle 51 is connected, as illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, and. 9.
- a shaft 52 Located in line with the axis of the column 5 and within the hollow base 6 is a shaft 52, upon which is sleeved a fork 53, between the arms of which the treadle 51 is pivoted at 54, (see Figs. 1 and 2,) the lower end of said shaft being secured in a bracket 90 of said base by a screw 91, whereby as the table is rotated around the column the treadle moves with it.
- the lifting-rod 46 At its upper end the lifting-rod 46 is provided with a hand-wheel 55, having a hub with a convex or partially-spherical portion 55, which fits the socket on the under side of the projectionv 36 as illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5, the perforation 36 in said projection being flared upward to permit the necessary movement of the lifting-rod 46 when it is actuated by the treadle.
- an adjustable stop or collar 56 Located on the guide-rod 21 is an adjustable stop or collar 56, which is secured to said rod by a screw 56, and this stop when set to the desired position limits the upward movement of the work-supporting table, and thereby regulates with exactitude and nicety the depth to which a blind mortise shall be cut in the material upon the work-table.
- the work-supporting table 37 is provided with a series of slots or openings 57, 58, and 59 for the reception of the cutter-chain as the same passes downward through the work in forming the mortises therein, and these openings are so located and disposed with relation to the cutter-chain that one of them will be brought directly beneath said chain when the table is swung around the column 5 and is adjusted to the desired position with relation to said chain.
- any desired means may be employed for clamping the work upon the table, and in the drawings Ihave illustrated an arm or bracket 60 adjustably secured to the front of the table by a bolt 61, said arm 60 having an internally-threaded eye at one end, in which is titted a screw 62, carrying a clamp 63, this screw being provided with a hand-wheel 64,by which the clamp may be manipulated back and forth as desired.
- the clamp may be adjusted by swinging the arm 60 to a position where it will lie parallel with the table, as in Figs. 3 and 5, or to the desired inclined position with relation to the table, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2.
- a series of openings is provided, each having internally-threaded walls and serving as a not for the bolt 40, whereby said bolt and the clamp carried thereby may be shifted along the table and be set in the position desired.
- the collar 36 from which the table knee or bracket 36 projects, is split or divided at 3 and may be adjusted to take up wear by means of a tangent-screw 4, which will pinch the same to the column 5.
- Divided bushings2 preferably of lumen or equivalent metal, are provided for taking up wear on the guide-rod 21,-and screws 21 are illustrated in Figs. 14 and 16 for adjusting said bushings when desired.
- wood facinus may be used in the pockets 57, 58, and 59 of the worktable, if desired, and these facings may be inserted, as at 100, (see Figs. 14 and 16,)- in the" slots or pockets of the table below the chain.
- These lower wood faci-ngs prevent sl-ivering of the material as the chain goes through the same, and the wood facing 32 of the chip-breaker 28, being located above the work and surrounding the entire mortise, acts as apresser-foot and prevents the wood from I being slivered by the upward run of the chain.
- the chain cutter cuts through the wood facing 32 before it reaches the work, and the'sides of the cut in said wood facing act as supports to the work being operated upon to prevent slivering of the same by the chain, and it is only necessary torenew said facing when a smallersized cutting-chain i's em'ployed.

- the reed-boa-rds-of organs, &c.the table is adj usted' in the same manner to the position represented in Figs. 1 and 18 and, be ing secured in such position, is raised by the treadl'e to form a mortise or slot therein, as
- Fig. 1-8 In forming these kinds 'of mortises the clamp 63 is withdrawn, there being no necessity for the same,-for the chain cutter will act in forming the mortise or slot to cause the material to be snugly forced (See Fig. 18.
- the table will, as abovestated, ,Lbeso limited in its upward movement that the cutter may be made to penetrate'the material exactly ineachinstance to the desired extent, so that either blind mortises extending partially through the wood or mortises extendingfully throughthe same may readily be formed,- if desired.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 5 designates a vertical column rising from a base-plate 6, the latter having a hollow vertical extension 6, to which the column may be bolted or otherwise secured, said extension being cut away or cast open at one side 'at 6 for a purpose hereinafter stated. To the upper end of this column 5 is secured by bolts 7' a head 7, having a laterally-extending bracket 8 for the reception of a shaft 9, carrying a pulley 10, to which power may be applied. At its inner end this shaft 9 carries a sprocket-wheel 12 in engagement with a cutter-chain 13, fitted for movement over a chain-bar 14, which may be secured to a block 14 by a bolt 14 and both said bar and said block are adj ustably and simultaneously connected to a slide 15, fitted on ways of an apron 7, depending from the head 7 by a bolt 16, having at its inner end a head working in a longitudinal groove or T-slot 15' of the slide and at its outer end a nut 16, which serves simultaneously to clamp the bar to the block and the block to the slide. If desired, the
bolt 14 may be dispensed with; but I prefer to employ said bolt as an additional means for firmly clamping the upper end of the chain-bar to the block 14.
For the purpose of adjusting the slide 15, and thereby the chain-bar 14, to take up the slack in the cutter-chain a hand-Wheel 1'? is provided, said Wheel being secured to a screw 17', working in the nut 18 of a yoke 18, the side bars 19 of said yoke being secured to the slide in any desired way.
Attached to the head 7 and surrounding the shaft 9 is a case 20 for the reception of a suction-fan or blower, (not shown,) by means of which the chips, dust, &c., are withdrawn, and projecting from this case is a bracket 20, in which the screw 17 is mounted for rotation, but is prevented by collars or otherwise from longitudinal movement therein.
Projecting from the case 20 is a hood 70, which may be hinged at thereto, said hood covering the sprocket-wheel 12 and being so arranged that its lower end is open for the passage of the chain and the chips removed from the wood thereby, and the hood opens into the case 20 in the manner-described in my Patent No. 621,026, dated March 14, 1899, r
to which reference may be had. In order to afford access to the sprocket and theupper part of the cutter-chain, the hood may be swung upward on its hinge, as will be obvious. v I
Projecting from the slide 15 are brackets 22 and 23, respectively, for the reception of a sliding rod 24, to which a chip-breaker is attached, as will be hereinafter described, and a guard rail or bar 25, said rod and bar being secured adjustably in a yoke 80, having a platform or table for the reception of weights 81, which may be varied in number and size as desired and which normally tend to force said rod downward by gravital action, and connected to the lower end of this '31 a facing 32, of Wood, preferably of some hard variety, which subserves a purpose hereinafter set forth, and this facing is preferably located on the under side of the plate, as shown.
Upon the upper end of the column 5, im mediately beneath the head 7, is sleeved a collar 33, having a laterally-extending tubular bracket 33, and passing preferably through a reinforced portion of this collar and bracket is a screw 34, havinga conical end 34, adapted to fit within any of a series of openings 35 in the colum n 5, for a pu rpose hereinafter stated.
Designated by the numeral 36 is a knee or work-table support having a sleeve 36, fitted for swinging movement upon the vertical column 5, and upon the knee 36 is mounted a work-table 37, having a guide 38, which fits over a corresponding guideway 39 of said knee, as illustrated in Fig. 6, said table being capable of adjustment back and forth on the knee by means of a screw 40, workingin a nut of the knee. (See Fig. 4.) To take up wear and lost motion of the parts, a shim 41 may be secured by a screw 42 to the un der side of the table, and after adjustment the table may be fastened to its guideway by a pinch-screw 43, working in a depending bracket 44 of the table and having an operating-handle 45, said screw bearing against the side of the shim 41, as illustrated in Fig. 6. This work-table is, as illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, 4, and 5, preferably formed as an integral casting having a vertical back 37, against which the material may be clamped, said casting being adjustable on the ways of the knee 36. 1
Attached to or formed integral with th sleeve 36 of knee 36 is a tubular extension 36 and loosely fitted in this extension and secured to the bracket 33 of the collar 33 is a guide rod or shaft 21, the lower end of which is received and also secured in a tubular bracket 80 of acollar 80 loosely sleeved upon the column 5 and capable of rotation around the same adjacent to the point where said column is connected to the vertical extension 6' of the base 6. By the means described this shaft or rod 21 is secured parallel with the column 5, and it therefore serves as a guide, which while rotating with the work-supporting table 37 and the collars 33, 36, and 44 as the table is adjusted around the column compels said table to reciprocate in a fixed path.
Projecting from the collar 80 are two arms or lugs 80 and also projecting from the knee 36 is a perforated lug 36 which is closed or cupped on its under side, as at 36, for a purpose hereinafter stated. Passing between the lugs 80 is a lifting-rod 46, the upper end of which is inserted in the perforated lug 36 above mentioned, and this lifting-rod is, as
illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, threaded intermediate its length at 47 and carries on said threaded portion a pair of check-nuts 48, and is also threaded at its lower end, as at 49, and is inserted in a nut 50, having an angular extension 50, to which a treadle 51 is connected, as illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, and. 9.
Located in line with the axis of the column 5 and within the hollow base 6 is a shaft 52, upon which is sleeved a fork 53, between the arms of which the treadle 51 is pivoted at 54, (see Figs. 1 and 2,) the lower end of said shaft being secured in a bracket 90 of said base by a screw 91, whereby as the table is rotated around the column the treadle moves with it.
At its upper end the lifting-rod 46 is provided with a hand-wheel 55, having a hub with a convex or partially-spherical portion 55, which fits the socket on the under side of the projectionv 36 as illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5, the perforation 36 in said projection being flared upward to permit the necessary movement of the lifting-rod 46 when it is actuated by the treadle.
In virtue of the construction just described it will be seen that by rotating the hand-wheel 55 the position of the treadle with relation to the table may be changed without lifting or lowering the latter, so that when the operator subsequently applies his foot to said treadle a new height of table may be presented, and if it is desirable to regulate the limit of downward movement of said table this can readily be accomplished by simply shifting the check-nuts 48 while the operator has his footupon the treadle.
Located on the guide-rod 21 is an adjustable stop or collar 56, which is secured to said rod by a screw 56, and this stop when set to the desired position limits the upward movement of the work-supporting table, and thereby regulates with exactitude and nicety the depth to which a blind mortise shall be cut in the material upon the work-table.
As illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, 14, 16, and 18, the work-supporting table 37 is provided with a series of slots or openings 57, 58, and 59 for the reception of the cutter-chain as the same passes downward through the work in forming the mortises therein, and these openings are so located and disposed with relation to the cutter-chain that one of them will be brought directly beneath said chain when the table is swung around the column 5 and is adjusted to the desired position with relation to said chain.
Any desired means may be employed for clamping the work upon the table, and in the drawings Ihave illustrated an arm or bracket 60 adjustably secured to the front of the table by a bolt 61, said arm 60 having an internally-threaded eye at one end, in which is titted a screw 62, carrying a clamp 63, this screw being provided with a hand-wheel 64,by which the clamp may be manipulated back and forth as desired. As will be seen by the construction described, the clamp may be adjusted by swinging the arm 60 to a position where it will lie parallel with the table, as in Figs. 3 and 5, or to the desired inclined position with relation to the table, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. In the front wall of the table a series of openings is provided, each having internally-threaded walls and serving as a not for the bolt 40, whereby said bolt and the clamp carried thereby may be shifted along the table and be set in the position desired.
The collar 36, from which the table knee or bracket 36 projects, is split or divided at 3 and may be adjusted to take up wear by means of a tangent-screw 4, which will pinch the same to the column 5.
Divided bushings2, preferably of lumen or equivalent metal, are provided for taking up wear on the guide-rod 21,-and screws 21 are illustrated in Figs. 14 and 16 for adjusting said bushings when desired.
'Io sustain the work and prevent slivering by the cutter-chain, wood facinus may be used in the pockets 57, 58, and 59 of the worktable, if desired, and these facings may be inserted, as at 100, (see Figs. 14 and 16,)- in the" slots or pockets of the table below the chain. These lower wood faci-ngs prevent sl-ivering of the material as the chain goes through the same, and the wood facing 32 of the chip-breaker 28, being located above the work and surrounding the entire mortise, acts as apresser-foot and prevents the wood from I being slivered by the upward run of the chain.
In the operation of the machine the chain cutter cuts through the wood facing 32 before it reaches the work, and the'sides of the cut in said wood facing act as supports to the work being operated upon to prevent slivering of the same by the chain, and it is only necessary torenew said facing when a smallersized cutting-chain i's em'ployed. By the construction described the fibers of the wood lying at the side as well as at the ends of the mortise, which would naturally be disturbed by the chain-cutter in any angular position of the same relative tothe grain of the wood, are-supported and sustained against slivering action by the chain, and in this way per fect mortises-may be formed'in the material no matter what may be its angular position or relationto the cutter-chain.
Particular attention is directed to the fact that all of the parts carried by the head 7 may be assembled as a bench job before said head isplaced ,uponthe column 5and secured thereto by bolts or screws 7 whichpass throughthe base 7 of the head, said column furnishingthe sole support for the head. The driving-shaft 9 may also'be supported with-in divided-bushings 102, as illustrated in Fig. '7, if desired, and other similar mechanical details of construction may be employed throughout the machine wherever they are needed without departure frommy invention.
In the operation of my improved machine when it is desired to form an ordinary mortise parallel with the edges of the Wood, as'in door-stiles and the frames of various articles of furniture, asabove stated, the d'etents or screws securing the collars 33 and 80 to the column are withdrawn and the sleeve 36 and collars 33 and 80 which carry the guide-rod 21, are swung around the column to'the position illustrated, for example, in Figs.- 2 and l4,whichwill bring the slot or pocket 59 immediately beneath the cutter-chain. The foot is thenplaced upon the treadle 51, which has moved with the table, thereby depressing the same and raising,through the instrumentality of the lifting-rod t6, the knee or bracket 36 and its attached sleeve 36 until the cutterchain has penetrated to the desired distance through the material upon the table 37, the extent of forward movement of the worksupporting table being limited by the adjustable stop or column 56 on the guide-rod 21 and said table being caused to travel upon the column in a true vertical path by said guiderod, it being of course understoo that collars 33 and 80 are firmly secured to the column by the detents 34: and 84;, which are inserted within the desired perforations in the .Walls of said column.
If it is desired to form mortises or slots-directly across the grain of the wood'-as'in loomboards, the reed-boa-rds-of organs, &c.the table is adj usted' in the same manner to the position represented in Figs. 1 and 18 and, be ing secured in such position, is raised by the treadl'e to form a mortise or slot therein, as
illustratedin Fig. 1-8 In forming these kinds 'of mortises the clamp 63 is withdrawn, there being no necessity for the same,-for the chain cutter will act in forming the mortise or slot to cause the material to be snugly forced (See Fig. 18.
In forming diagonal mortises or slotscrossing-the grain of the wood at forty-five degrees,
' or thereabout, with relation to theedges of the work the table 37 is swung to the position represented in Fig. 16 and the clamp-63 is adjusted firmly to secure the material against the back 37 of the table-37, and the parts are actuated in the same manner as above described.
By adj ustingthe stop or collar 56 uponthe guide-rod 21 the table will, as abovestated, ,Lbeso limited in its upward movement that the cutter may be made to penetrate'the material exactly ineachinstance to the desired extent, so that either blind mortises extending partially through the wood or mortises extendingfully throughthe same may readily be formed,- if desired.
Many changes may be'made in the details of myinvention without departure therefrom,
and the invention is not limited to the precise construction illustrated and described.
The form of the column upon which the table is reciprocated may be diiferent from that shown-,'and this-is true of the guide rod or shaft for compelling the movementof the ta- .ble ina vertical path.
While acutter-chain is shownas a preferred means for formingmortises'of desired kinds in'the material, itis distinctly to be understood that the invention is not limited The details of the suction fanor blower and of the chip-breaker andhand-guardrod may also be widely varied without departure from the invention,vwhich is not limited to the construction described nor to a facing of wood secured to said chip-breaker, for other suitable material may beemployed for this purpose, if desired.
