Improvements in the Construction and Working of Joiners' and
Engineers' Vices.
I, DAVID FORSTER DOWEY, of 54, Clifton Street, Middlesbrough, in the County
of York, Patternmaker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
An improvement in the construction and working of a joiner's or an engineer's
vice, consisting of a wedge and screw or worm working in nut, and combination
of parts made up of slide with screw wedge and nut in box the whole resulting
in a more reliable holdfast or grip.
I propose to construct as in the drawing
Fig. 1, is a sectional elevation shewing the vice in the gripping position.
Fig. 2, is a sectional end view through Fig. 1, on line A, B.
Fig. 3, is a plan of Fig. 1.
1. Box or body of vice arranged to receive slide 3.
2. Serrations on the inside of top of box 1.
3. Slide with jaw 4.
5. Inclined plane or wedge on slide 3.
6. Spindle with screw at one end and handle at the other.
7. Gripping nut on spindle 6 the bottom being bevelled to correspond with
wedge 5, and the top serrated to correspond with serrations 2 on the inside of
top of box.
8. Collar pinned on spindle G to allow of vice being pulled out by handle.
9. Tap bolt screwed into bottom of slide 3 to prevent its being pulled completely
out.
10. Bolt holes in flanges of box 1, for fixing vice to bench.
The operation resulting would be to open and close the vice by a turn of the
worm or screw which releases the nut and wedge and allows the slide to be drawn
out any distance required.
At any point the nut or wedge can be tightened or closed by a turn of the
worm or screw.
In place of the fixed wedge I propose to put a loose wedge with rest for spindle
and spring resting between the wedge and the slide-preferably however I would
construct as in the drawing.

1
An improvement in the construction and working of a joiner's or an engineer's
vice, consisting of a wedge and screw or worm working in nut, and combination
of parts made up of slide with scrow wadge and nut in hoy the whole resulting
in a more reliable holdfast or grip.

Provisional
Fig. 1-is a sectional elevation shewing the vice in the gripping position.
Fig. 2-is a sectional end view through Fig. 1, on line A B.
Fig. 3-is a plan of Fig. 1.
1. Box or body of vice arranged to receive slide 3.
2. Serrations on the inside of top of box 1.
3. Slide with jaw 4.
5. Inclined plane or wedge on slide 3.
6. Spindle with screw at one end and handle at the other.
7. Gripping nut on spindle 6 the bottom being bevelled to correspond with
wedge 5, and the top serrated to correspond with serrations 2, on the inside of
top of box.
8. Collar pinned on spindle G to allow of vice being pulled out by handle.
9. Tap bolt screwed into bottom of slide 3 to prevent its being pulled completely
out.
10. Bolt holes in flanges of box 1, for fixing vice to bench.
The operation resulting would be to open and close the vice by a turn of the
worm or screw which releases the nut and wedge and allows the slide to be drawn
out any distance required.
At any point the nut or wedge can be tightened or closed by a turn of the
worn or screw. Preferably I would construct as in the drawing.
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:
1
1. An improvement in the construction and working of joiners or engineers
vices consisting of a wedge and screw or worm working in nut.
2. A combination of parts as shewn made up of slide with screw wedge and
nut in box.
