PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with the Frames and Mountings of
Grind Stones.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM FOLLOWS, of Froxmer Street Gorton, in the
County of Lancaster, Agricultural Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the framing or fixing for light or portable grindstones.
I make the front part of the framing of triangular or other convenient shape with
an inclined bar or rail preferably of wood to which the bearings are attached and a
front stay pivoted thereto.
At the top end of the inclined rail I attach castings provided with loose caps to
form journals for the spindle and with sockets both in front and at the back to
which are attached at one side the front stays and at the other side the seat stays..
One of these brackets is also provided with a lug to which is bolted an arm for
carrying a can or reservoir to supply water.
On one side of the inclined rail I mount a detachable slide tool rest. This is
mounted on a radial arm to which is attached a sliding link passing through a slot.
cut in the rail. This link is preferably formed with a slot through which a bolt,
screw or other clamping device passes which can be tightly screwed up to hold the
rest permanently in any desired position. As the stone wears the rest can thus be
easily adjusted gradually travelling forward in the direction of the centre of the
stone.
On the underside of the seat I attach an automatic spring bolt or clip to work in
combination with upright pivoted stays which maintain the seat in position when
erected for use. This bolt or clip is made with an inclined face so that it can
readily engage or lock the stay in position.
Under the stone I place a movable or adjustable trough mounted by means of a.
bracket or otherwise on the inclined rail. This trough can be easily removed or
its position adjusted as required.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with the Frames and Mountings of
Grind Stones.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM FOLLOWS, of Froxmer Street, Gorton, in the
County of Lancaster, Agricultural Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this
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 the framing or fixing for light or portable grindstones.

page_text: It will be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1. Side elevation.
Fig. 2. Front elevation with the seat and seat support removed.
Fig. 3. Enlarged detail of spring catch.
Fig. 4. Another view of same.
The front part A of the framing is made of triangular or other convenient shape
wider at the base than at the top and to it is pivoted or otherwise attached an
inclined bar or rail B preferably of wood which forms the main part of the
portable framing carrying the bearings for the stone D and supported by the
stay C. At the top end of the inclined rail B I attach castings E provided with
loose caps e to form journals for the spindle d or the stone D and with sockets f to
which are attached at one side the stays C and at the other side the seat stays F.
One of these brackets is also provided with a lug g to which is bolted an arm G
for carrying a can or reservoir H to supply water.
On one side of the inclined rail B I mount a detachable slide tool rest K
supported by radial arm L to which is attach a sliding link M passing over a
screw or stud m through a slot cut in the rail. The link M is preferably formed
with a slot through which a bolt or screw m or other clamping device passes which
can be tightly screwed up to hold the rest permanently in any desired position.
As the stone D wears the rest K can thus be easily adjusted gradually travelling
forward in the direction of the centre of the stone.
The scat F is supported by the sent stays F which are pivoted to the castings E
and by the upright stays N' pivoted to the front part A of the framing. On the
underside of the seat F1 I attach an automatic spring bolt or clip P to work in
combination with the top cross bar n of the upright pivoted stays N which
maintain the seat F1 in horizontal position when erected for use. This bolt or clip
is made with an inclined face so that it can readily engage or lock the stay in
position.
Under the stone D I place a movable or adjustable trough R mounted by means
of a bracket or otherwise on the inclined rail B. This trough can be easily
removed or its position adjusted as required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A light portable framing for grindstones having the several parts constructed
and arranged in combination substantially as described and shown.
2. In a portable framing for light grindstones the combination with the pivoted
rail B pivoted seat stays F carrying the seat F¹ and pivoted supporting stays N of
the automatic spring bolt or clips P to engage with the cross bar n of the upright
stays N substantially as described.
