page_text: I, GUSTAV FISCHER of 95 Deverthstrasse, Elberfeld in the German Empire,
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This Invention relates to carriers for lathes and its object is to produce a carrier
which is strong and simple, and may be adjusted for shafts or the like of different
diameters.
A carrier constructed according to this invention consists essentially of two parts,
one of which is a bar or the like bent approximately at right angles. One limb of
this part is formed for the reception of the fastening bolt or screw, and the other limb
is provided with a series of slots, recesses or the like, for the reception of the end of the
second part of the carrier. These recesses or the like are preferably undercut or dove-
tailed so that it is necessary to insert the end of the second part of the carrier
sideways. A convenient way to form them is to drill holes near to the edge of the
limb and then to cut away part of the intervening metal.
The second part of the carrier consists of a bar or the like one end of which is
adapted to engage with either of the recesses in the first part and the other end of
which is provided with or is formed for the reception of the fastening bolt or screw.
Both parts of the carrier are preferably suitably shaped for the reception of the
article they are to hold.

I, GUSTAV FISCHER of 95 Deverthstrasse, Elberfeld, in the German Empire,
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement.
This Invention relates to carriers for lathes and its object is to produce a carrier
which is strong and simple and which may be adjusted for shafts spindles and the
like, of different diameters.
A lathe carrier constructed according to this Invention consists essentially of two
parts, one of which is a bar or its equivalent, bent at right angles. One limb of this
part is formed for the reception of the fastening bolt or screw and the other limb is
provided with a series of slots recesses or the like for the reception of the end of the
second part of the carrier. These recesses or similar parts are preferably undercut or
dovetailed so that it is necessary to insert the end of the second part of the carrier
sidewise. A convenient way to form the recesses is to drill holes near to the edge: of..
the limb and then to cut away part of the intervening metal.

page_text: The second part of the carrier consists of a bar or its equivalent one end of which
is adapted to engage with either of the recesses in the first part and the other end of
which is provided with or is formed for the reception of the fastening bolt or screw.
Both parts of the carrier are preferably shaped for the reception of the article they
are to hold.
The improved carrier is represented by the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 shews a front elevation; Figure 2 an end elevation; and Figure 3 a plan.
A is the bent part in the lower limb of which the recesses BCD are formed as
herein before described, for the reception of the lower end of the part E. An eye bolt
L is inserted through the upper part of A, the hole through which it passes being
preferably elliptical with a vertical major axis as indicated at F. This bolt is secured
by the nut N. The eye bolt L is connected with the part E by means of a pin. M,
and the opposite sides of E may have two different curvatures GH, to suit different
diameters. Either of these curvatures may be brought into position by withdrawing
the pin M and reversing the part E, or preferably, by withdrawing the bolt L and
turning the part E round. To permit the latter movement, the part of E in which
the bolt is engaged may be formed by the two jaws J J.
In use, the new carrier may be placed upon the article already in the lathe, after
which the projection E, is placed in the nearest recess available to the part A₁, and
the nut N is tightened.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
A lathe carrier constructed and arranged substantially as herein before described
and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 20th day of May A.D. 1897.
