Complete Specification Left, 19th Nov., 1895-Accepted, 21st Dec., 1895
We, CHARLES HENRY SCOTT, CHARLES HENRY HARVEY, and BRIGHAM
SCOTT all of the Township of Fitchburg, County of Worcester, Massachusetts,
U.S.A., Carpenters, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The device of this invention comprises essentially two bars mounted to slide,
and be adjustable by means of guide clamps, one upon another. At the outer end
of each bar is fixed adjustably by means of a set screw a bracket to which is
secured horizontally a straight edge which may set at any angle and fixed by its
corresponding set screw, say for marking out boards to be cut at any angle, the
sliding bars being extended or drawn inwards upon one another to adjust the
distance between the straight edges. Upon each of these is further mounted so as
to be adjustable thereon a slotted auxiliary straight edge which may be furnished
with a measuring scale.

Device Ior setting on Angies or Bevels.
We, CHARLES HENRY SCOTT, CHARLES HENRY HARVEY, and BRIGHAM
SCOTT, all of the Township of Fitchburg, County of Worcester, Massachusetts,
U.S.A., Carpenters, 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 :—
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a plan view of the device of this
invention for setting off angles or bevels, and Fig. 2 a side elevation of the same
with a portion broken away.
The device comprises essentially two bars A, A', of wood or metal mounted to
slide and be adjustable by means of guides or clamps a, a', one upon another.
The clamp al is provided with a set screw u² for fixing the bars rigidly together in
any adjusted position. To one end of the bar A is attached a plate B and a
similar plate to the opposite end of the bar A'. Said plates have a straight edge
and may be of any suitable size and shade. They are formed so as to lie flat as
seen in Fig. 2, and the portions of the same behind the straight edges are so
curved or bent, besides being provided with metallic straps B', as to afford sockets
to receive the ends of the bars A, A', respectively as shewn, said ends being fixed
in the sockets by set screws C after adjustment of the straight edges in a horizontal
plane, that is to say, the plates B are pivotally adjustable in a plane parallel to the
plane of the bars A, A¹, so as to allow of materials, wood or stone for instance,
being marked off to any suitable angles, along which the material is to be cut.

page_text: The plates B are provided each with a small adjustable straight edged slide D of
any suitable form slotted at d and attached to the plates, and after adjustment
firmly fixed thereto by screws E. The straight edges of the slides D are preferably
marked with a scale of inches or other graduations for determining measurements.
These slides are a valuable auxiliary to the blades B especially for use in the
making of thresholds or for other uses where it is desired to cut or mark a short
line or lines parallel or at an angle to the straight edge of the blade B.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
1. In a device for setting off angles or bevels, the combination of the
connecting bar or bars, the straight edged blades provided with sockets which
receive the ends of the connecting bar or bars, and set screws in said sockets for
adjustably holding the plates and permitting their straight edges to be adjusted
relatively to the bar and the supplemental sliding plates on said blades or plates B,
substantially as described and shewn.
2. In a device for setting off angles or bevels, the combination of connecting
bars adjustable on one another, the straight edged blades or plates pivotally
attached to the opposite ends of said bars and the supplemental sliding plates on
said blades, substantially as described and shewn.
3. In a device for setting off angles or bevels, the combination of the extension
frame consisting of bars A, A', the plates or blades B having sockets and beld by
set screws at the opposite ends of said frame, and the auxiliary plates provided
with measuring divisions or graduations and secured upon the plates B, substantially
as described and shewn.
