I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of the Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6, Bank Street,
Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster, and 323, High Holborn, in the
County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
-
This invention has for object the speedy securing of a vice to the work bench.
The vice has at its lower part a dovetail or other suitably shaped groove in
which the head of a screw bolt penetrates. A set screw or screws are fixed in the
screw bolt at its side, and they project into a suitable vertical groove of a collar
secured to the work bench which thus prevent any revolving of the bolt while
permitting vertical movement. The bolt aforesaid and with it the whole vice are
casily and quickly secured to the work bench by means of a wing nut. This mode
of attachment further allows the vice to be secured in any required position as the
vice is revolvable on the bolt head.
When the vice is not in use, it can be easily taken off, whereupon the bolt rests
with its head in a cavity or countersink in the collar.
Dated this 20th day of January 1891.

A communication from abroad by JOSEF SCHWENDEMANN and KARL PERROT,

I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of the Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street Liverpool and 6 Bank Street
Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster, and 323 High Holborn in the
County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object the speedy securing of a vice to the work bench.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a side elevation.
Figure 2 a back elevation.
Figure 3 a view from beneath.
The vice A has at its lower part a dovetail or other suitably shaped groove in
which the head of a screw bolt B penetrates. A set screw or screws C are fixed in
the screw bolt at its side, and they project into a suitable vertical groove of a collar
secured to the work bench which thus prevents any revolving of the bolt B, while
permitting vertical movement. The bolt B aforesaid and with it the whole vice is
casily and quickly secured to the work bench by means of a wing nut D. This
mode of attachment further allows the vice to be secured in any required position,
as the vice is revolvable on the bolt head.

page_text: When the vice is not in use, it can be easily taken off, whereupon the bolt rests
with its head in a cavity or countersink E in the collar F.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
The device for attaching a vice to a work bench in which the head of a fastening
bolt B (on which the vice is rotatable) engages the vertical groove of a collar
secured to the bench, whereby any revolving of the bolt is prevented, while
allowing any suitable position of the vice, the said head of the bolt being adapted
to drop into a recess in the bench or in the collar aforesaid when the vice is taken
off substantially as described.
