Title: Improvements in and relating to Vices
Inventor: STANBRIDGE HENRY
Filed: 1907-12-05
Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 26,879. Stanbridge, H. Dec. 5. Vices.-In a quick-adjustment parallel vice of the type in which a U-shaped slide and adjusting- screw are employed, the base A is formed on each side with a deep groove a<2> to receive the sides of a U-shaped slide B, the end of which is tapped at b3, Fig. 6, to receive the operating-screw C rotated by a tommy bar. The movable jaw D is so mounted as to enable it to swivel, the cylindrical part d' being encircled by a band d<4>; a cylindrical piece c<1> on this band passes through a central hole in the plate d<3>, fitting into the end of the thrust screw C and being held therein by a grub screw c<2>. The sides of the slide B have teeth f<4> on their under surfaces adapted to be engaged by pawls a<3>, and slots b<5>, Fig. 4, in which lie the prongs of a bar b<6>, Fig. 5, with cam-slots b<10> to engage pins b<11>, the end of the bar b<6> passing round the plate d<3>, as shown in Fig. 6, and being provided with a spring b<7>. A forward movement of the thrust screw allows this spring to move the bar b<6> forward, when the cam-slots b<10> come opposite the pins b<11> so that the spring-pressed pawls a<3> may then raise the bar b<6> and engage the teeth in the slide B, thus allowing the swivelling jaw D to grip the work placed in the opening b<2>. When the screw C is given a backward motion, the bar b<6> is drawn back and depressed by the pins b<11> and cam-slots b<10>, and the bar b<6> presses the pawls out of engagement with the teeth b<4> on the slide, which may then be rapidly moved back carrying the jaw D with it. A screw bolt b<8>, passing through a bush b<9> acting as a distance-piece, connects the open ends of the slide, and the body is slotted to receive the bush, which also serves to limit the backward travel of the slide. The jaws are provided with fixed toughened faces a', d<1> bevelled to prevent them from getting loose or rising up.
