PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pipe Vices.
I, FERDINAND BOSSHARDT, of the Firm of F. Bosshardt & Co., of 4, Corporation
Street, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Patent Agents, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention, which has been communicated to me by Blau and
Company, of 68, Dresdner-strasse, Vienna, Austria, Tool-makers to be as follows:-
The pipe vices in use heretofore which permit of fixing the pipes in two different.
positions forming one angle are so constructed that when fixing it in one of the said
positions it is necessary to place the pipe into a hole formed in the arm of the vice in.
which is mounted the screw spindle and the apper jaws which is particularly incon-
venient when fixing long pipes.
The object of this invention is to so construct a pipe vice, that the same will allow
of fixing pipes in two positions forming one angle, without the necessity of passing
it through a hole in the arm of the vice as described, by positioning the said arm
upon the base plate of the vice so as to be between the said angle.
In carrying out my invention I employ the bottom jaw having a cross groove near
the one end and the said arm in which is mounted the screw spindle and top jaw, the
latter also formed with a cross groove, near the other end of the base plate of the
vice.
The said arm may be made of any convenient section and is so positioned that the
two pipe positions embrace it.

Improvements in Pipe Vices.
I, FERDINAND BOSSHARDT, of the Firm of F. Bosshardt & Co., of 4, Corporation
Street, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Patent Agents, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention which has been communicated to me by Blau and
Company, of 68, Dresdner-strasse, Vienna, Austria, Tool-makers, and in what.
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in.
and by the following statement :-
The vices in use heretofore, which permit the fixing of pipes in two different
positions forming relatively one angle, are so constructed that in one of the said
positions it is necessary to place the pipe into a hole formed in the arm of the
vice in which is mounted the screw spindle and the upper jaw, which construction
of vice is particularly inconvenient when fixing long pipes.
The object of this invention is to so construct a pipe vice, that the same will allow
of fixing pipes in two positions forming relatively one angle, without the necessity

base plate of the vice so as to be between or inside of the said angle.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to
be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference indi-
cating like parts in the various figures, Fig. 1 being a side elevation and Fig. 2
a sectional plan at line x-x Fig. 1, of my improved pipe vice.
In carrying out my invention I arrange near one end upon the base plate P
the bottom jaw T having a cross groove t, t¹ and near the other end the said
arm M. The latter has a boss S¹ in which is mounted the nut S which receives the
screw spindle S2 and top jaw T the latter being also formed with a cross
groove t¹, t¹.
The arm M may be made of any convenient section preferably square as shown in
Fig. 1, and is so positioned that the two pipe positions embrace it.
The pipe a shown in full lines on the drawing shows one of the positions in which
the pipes can be fixed and the pipe a¹ in dotted lines the other position.
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―
In vices which permit the fixing of pipes in two different positions forming
relatively one angle, arranging the arm M which carries the screw spindle, nut and
jaw inside of the said angle or pipe positions a, a', all substantially as and for the
purpose set forth.
Dated this 5th day of February 1897.
