ALEXANDER NOVITZKI, 1, Pelling Street, Limehouse, London, E., Cabinet Maker, 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 state-
ment:
I make the body or block of my plane (marked d in the accompanying drawings)
of wood, a long narrow rectangular block as shewn, the lower portion of which dis
preferably made of box wood, mortised into the upper portion as shown in the
drawings.
The face of the lower portion of the body of the plane is shaped and grooved so that
it has two semicircular projections d² and d³ forming between them a semicircular
groove d to receive the strips or blocks of wood to be beaded or moulded when
requiring to be beaded on both sides, or to be beaded by cutter 65. At the side of my
plane approaching the lower grooved portion I provide a long metal adjustable stop e
running nearly the length of the plane having two upward slotted projections e¹ one
towards each end thereof which are secured by adjusting screws f screwed into and
through the upper portion of the body of the plane. By raising or lowering the said
stop and fixing the screws I determine the depth of the beading, as a portion of the
wood block or strip to be beaded is arrested by the said stop and I fix it either higher
or lower according to the depth of beading desired.
I provide two cutting plates or blades g and h which are placed in recessed portions
or openings in the body of the plane, and fixed in position with the usual wedges, the
blade g having two sharpened cutters 3 and 65 the cutter 65 being made higher up in
the blade, so that when adjusted, cutter c³ is just below the larger projecting
piece of the grooved face and the cutter 65 just sufficiently below the grooved portion
of the face.
The cutter being large and semicircular and the cutter 65 being smaller and
curvilinear, convex and concave. The blade h I provide with one small semicircular
cutter a¹ which is adjusted so that it comes just below the smaller projection on the
grooved face. The recessed portion or opening in the body of the plane for the
blade h is in the rear of that for the larger blade g and nearer to the side of the body
of the plane, so that when blade is inserted it is in juxtaposition with the smaller
semicircular projection on the shaped face of the plane.
With the plane as above described I can make six different distinct beads or
mouldings which I show in Fig. 3 and which are marked as follows:-
a is a drawing of a strip of wood beaded when the stop e is raised and the
cutter a is allowed to go its length.
a* is a drawing of a piece of wood beaded when only the lower portion of one side
of the cutter a¹ marked at in Fig. 2 is used.
6*2 is a drawing of a strip beaded on each side by using the right hand side of the
cutter and the left hand side of the cutter a¹ as indicated in Fig. 2 and marked b².
6*5 is a drawing of a strip of wood beaded by the use of the curvilinear cutter 65
alone.
c* is a drawing of a strip of wood beaded by the use of one half of the cutter c³.
c* is a drawing of a strip of wood beaded when stop e is lowered and the wood

In the drawings accompanying this Specification Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my
beading plane complete, Fig. 2 is an end elevation of same, Fig. 3 shows the six
different beadings described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. A beading plane having its face shaped with a semicircular recess or groove and
having a semicircular projection on either side of different length and width sub-
stantially as set forth and described.
