Improvements in Bench Fittings.
I, JACOB HENRY FREDERICKS, of 297 South Seventh Street, Newark,
County of Essex and State of New Jersey, U.S.A. Carpenter, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in combined carpenter
bench pin, guide and knife, and it consists in an adjustable and removable guide
and stay pin bracket, adapted in connection with the bench vice and the stationary
stops to secure the work to the bench in the manner and for the purposes described.
It consists also in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully
described.
In the drawings
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the front end of a carpenter's bench showing the
bench vice and the stay pin bracket in position;
Figure 2 is a top plan view of a portion of Figure 1 ;
Figures 3, 4 and 5 are respectively a side elevation, a rear view and front view
enlarged of my improved stay pin bracket, and Figure 6 is an enlarged transverse
section of a portion of said stay pin bracket.
In the drawings a represents a carpenter's bench, b the bench vice and ca
forward stationary stop arranged in the top of the bench in the usual manner.
In the place of the usual stationary rear pins, I have invented a removable stay
pin bracket d, consisting of two portions e and arranged at right angles to each
other. The longer portion e, which rests against the side of the bench, is slotted as
at el. In this slot moves the bolt h provided with a square or otherwise enlarged
head h', adapted to confine the bolt in the groove or slot e¹. Secured on the
bolt h, if desired, by a nut he is placed a spool or annular collar g, and ou the end
of the said bolt a bracket or guide i for the purpose hereinafter described. The
portion of the stay pin bracket d is parallel with the top of the bench a and is
provided with one or more pins adapted to secure the bracket d firmly to the
bench, when the portion is driven down on the top of the same. In the portion f
may also be drilled a counter sunk or other hole, through which a screw or
nail may be passed in order to more firmly secure the bracket d to the beuch.
At the end of the portion is pivotally secured as at m a bench knife. The
lower end of the slot el terminates in a recess of a size sufficient to allow the
removal of the bolt h and its head h'.
In operation, when the work to be done, consists in planing for instance the edge
of a board s, the bracket is fastened to the bench at a proper distance from
the end thereof, and the board is confined within the vice and between the
portion e of the bracket and the guide or bracket i at the end of the bolt h.
The lower edge of the board is supported on the spool which is adjusted
with its bolt in the slot el of the bracket until it is the required distance below
the face of the bench.
The spool is of a width corresponding to the thickness of the board s and
it is manifest that the carpenter may have spools and bolts of any size required,
which may be easily placed in the slot e¹ or removed therefrom by passing the
head of the bolt through the enlargement e at the end of the slot e
Where the work to be done consists in planing the face of the board, one end of
the board is placed against the stationary stop c (see Figure 2).

page_text: The bracket d is then secured to the bench at the required distance so that it
just clears the outer end of the board. The bench knife is then pressed into the
work and the board is thereby firmly secured to the bench.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bench Fittings.
I, JACOB HENRY FREDERICKS, of 295 South 7th Street, Newark, County
of Essex and State of New Jersey, U.S.A., Carpenter, do hereby declare the
nature of my 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 a new and useful improvement in combined carpenter
bench pin, guide and knife, and it consists in an adjustable and removable guide
and stay pin bracket, adapted in connection with the bench vice and the stationary
stops to secure the work to the bench in the manner and for the purposes
described.
It consists also in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more
fully described and claimed.
In the drawings filed with the Provisional Specification
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the front end of a carpenter's bench showing the
bench vice and the stay pin bracket in position.
Figure 2 is a top plan view of a portion of Figure 1.
Figures 3, 4 and 5 are respectively a side elevation, a rear view and front view
enlarged of my improved stay pin bracket, and Figure 6 is an enlarged transverse
section of a portion of said stay pin bracket.
In the drawings a represents a carpenter's bench, the bench vice and ca
forward stationary stop arranged in the top of the bench in the usual manner.
In the place of the usual stationary rear pins, I have invented a removable
stay pin bracket d, consisting of two portions e and arranged at right angles
to each other. The longer portion e, which rests against the side of the bench,
is slotted as at e'. In this slot e moves the bolt provided with a square or
otherwise enlarged head, adapted to confine the bolt h in the groove or
slot e. Secured on the bolt , if desired, by a nut is placed a spool
or annular collar g, and on the end of the said bolt a bracket or guide i for
the purpose hereinafter described. The portion of the stay pin bracket dis
parallel with the top of the bench a and is provided with one or more pins k
adapted to secure the bracket d firmly to the bench, when the portion is driven
down on the top of the same. In the portion may also be drilled a counter-
sunk or other hole f', through which a screw
to more firmly secure the bracket to the bench. At the end of the portion f
or nail may be passed in order
is pivotally secured as at m a bench knife l. The lower end of the slot e' terminates
in a recess e of a size sufficient to allow the removal of the bolt h and its head ².
In operation, when the work to be done, consists in planing for instance the edge
of a board s, the bracket d is fastened to the bench at a proper distance from the
end thereof, and the board is confined within the vice and between the portion e of
the bracket and the guide or bracket i at the end of the bolt h. The lower edge of
the board is supported on the spool y which is adjusted with its bolt h in the slot e¹
of the bracket until it is the required distance below the face of the bench.
The spool g is of a width corresponding to the thickness of the boards and it is
manifest that the carpenter may have spools and bolts of any size required, which
may be easily placed in the slot el or removed therefrom by passing the head ' of
the bolt through the enlargement eat the end of the slot e¹.

page_text: Where the work to be done consists in planing the face of the board, one end of
the board is placed against the stationary stop e (see Figure 2).
The bracket d is then secured to the bench at the required distance so that it
just clears the other end of the board. The bench knife is then pressed into the
work and the board is thereby firmly secured to the bench.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim, is:
1. An adjustable and removable stay pin bracket for carpenters' benches,.
consisting of a slotted bracket provided with pins entering the face of the bench
and a support adapted to be raised or lowered in the slot of the bracket, substantially
as described.
2. In a carpenter's bench, a stay pin bracket consisting of two portions at right
angles to each other, one portion being parallel to and provided with pins adapted
to secure said bracket to the face of the bench, whilst the other is parallel to the
side of the bench, said side portion being slotted, with a supporting spool adapted
to be secured in said slot and adjustable therein, substantially as described.
3. The combination in the bracket d, of the slotted portion e and portion f, with
the bolt h, spool y and lug i sliding in the slotted portion e, and with the pins & and
bench knife 7 secured to the portion f, substantially as described.
4. The combination in the bracket d, of the slotted portion e and portion ƒ at
right angles thereto, with the pins and with a bench knife pivotally secured to
the portion, all said parts, substantially as and for the purposes described.
5. The combination in the slotted bracket d, of a spool adjustably arranged in
the slot of said bracket and with a lug i arranged at the outer end of said spool
and adapted to confine the work on the spool between the bracket and lug, all said
parts substantially as described.
