My invention relates to improvements in bevel gages for artisans' use, and the
object is to provide a simple and efficient device of this class.
To this end the novelty consists in the construction, combination and arrange-
ment of the same as will be hereinafter more fully described and particularly
pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings the same reference characters indicate the same
parts of the invention.
Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved bevel-gage,
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Figure 3 is a transverse section on the diagonal line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
1 represents the gage-bar provided with the lateral parallel aligned flanges 2-3.
The bar 1 is provided with a longitudinal slot 4 and an orifice 5.
6 represents an integral clamp-bracket extending parallel with the continguous
plane face of the bar 1, and its free end is provided with an orifice 7 aligned with
the corresponding orifice 5 in the bar.
S represents a plane square blade, the shorter arm 9 of which extends through a
longitudinal slot 10 in the flange 2, and an orifice 11 in said arm is brought into
alignment with the corresponding orifices in the bar and bracket to receive a pivot
bolt 12 provided with a milled thumb-nut 13 for adjustably securing said arm
in place the longer arm 14 also extending through a longitudinal guide slot 15
in the flange 2. 16 represents a clamp-bolt. extending through the slot 4 in the
bar and through an orifice 17 in the heel 18 of an adjustable clamp 18.
This clamp is formed with a transverse shoulder 19 and an encompassing Jaw 20
which receives the arm 14, and said clamp is adjustable on said arm, and the bolt 16
correspondingly adjustable in the slot 15, at any point of which said arm and
clamp may be rigidly secured by means of the milled thumb-nut 21.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. The combination of the bar 1, provided with the integral clamp bracket 6, and

flange, the adjustable clamp 18 formed with the transverse shoulder
and the encompassing jaw 20, engaging said arm, and the bolt 16, adjustably
secured in the slot 4 and engaging said clamp 18 and provided with a milled
thumb-nut, substantially as shown and described.
3. The combination with the bar 1, provided with the integral clamp bracket 6, 5
the longitudinal slot 4 and the flange 2 having the guide slot 15, of the plane
square blade 8, having its shorter arm secured between said bar and integral
bracket, by a pivot bolt 12, and the adjustable clamp 18 formed with the trans-
verse shoulder 19, the jaw 20 engaging the longer arm of said blade and the bolt. 16
