The longer leg a and the shorter leg a' consist of one casting, which is secured
to the working table in the well-known manner by the bracket a and the rod b.
The top of legal carries within a suitable opening the loose bearing-nut c for the
screwed spindle d, which latter has at its front-end the movable handle or key e.
Leg a is embraced from three sides (the front surface and the two lateral
surfaces) by a lever or movable leg a², which is connected with the body of the vice
by a bolt or ping, and forms at its upper end the head a with the cheek a*.
Opposite to this latter is the cheek a of the head of leg a.
Spindle d terminates shortly behind the rear surface of bearing-nut c, if the two
cheeks lie close one to the other; if, however, the cheeks are moved from each
other, the front part of the spindle leaves the nut, whilst the rear part enters the
same. The space between the legs a and a', or a and a respectively, is, thus,
never traversed by spindle d, so that the space between the said legs may be used
from the cheeks a a down to the curve between the legs.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tiou, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. In à vice, the combination with the rigid rear-leg of the body, of a fixed
shorter front leg carrying the spindle for a third leg movably held by the body of
the vice, for the purpose as described.
2. In a vice, the combination with the rigid rear-leg of the body, of a fixed
shorter front leg carrying the spindle for a third leg movably held by the body of
the vice, said spindle terminating at or near the rear surface of the fixed front leg,
for the purpose as described.
3. In a vice, the combination with the rigid rear-leg of the body, of a fixed
shorter front leg carrying at its top the spindle for a third leg movably held by the

page_text: body of the vice, and forming, or carrying, the movable cheek, for the purpose as
described.
4. In a vice, the combination with the rigid rear-leg of the body, of a fixed
shorter front leg carrying at its top the spindle for a third leg movably held by the
body of the vice, and forming, or carrying, the movable cheek, said spindle
terminating at or near the rear surface of the fixed front leg, for the purpose
as described.
5. In a vice, the combination with the rigid rear-leg of the body, of a fixed
shorter front leg carrying by means of a loose bearing-nut the spindle for a third
leg embracing the front and the two sides of the fixed front-leg, and being movably
connected with the lower portion of the same, said third leg forming, or carrying,
the movable cheek, for the purpose as described.
6. In a vice, the combination with the rigid rear-leg of the body, of a fixed
shorter front leg carrying by means of a loose bearing-nut the spindle for a third
leg embracing the front and the two sides of the fixed front-leg, and being movably
connected with the lower portion of the same, said third leg forming, or carrying,
the movable cheek, said spindle terminating at or near the rear surface of the fixed
front leg, for the purpose as described.
