Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed n ry 3, 1905- Serial No. 239,510-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARTIN KAPP, residing at Bellingham, in the county of VVhatcom and State of ashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Saw-Jointers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in apparatus for jointing shingle or other circular saws, and primarily has for its object to provide a device of this character of a very simple economical construction which will readily and effectively serve its intended purposes.

Generically, my invention consists of a base or casting adapted to be bolted to the saw gummer-frame and so arranged as to be laterally adjustable to allow for its use in con nection with saws of different diameters. To this base is pivotally and adjustably secured a file-carrying frame which includes an adjustable file-carrier so arranged that the portion of the file may be altered in various directions to allow for the different sizes of saws and to permit the use of the same devices on saws which are mounted close to or at some distance from the gummer-frame.

Again, my invention seeks to provide a device of this character which can be readily at tached to the ordinary gummers Without the necessity of altering or changing the form thereof.

With other objects in view, which will be .hereinafter apparent, the invention also con sists in certain novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, all of which will be first described in detail and then specifically pointed out in the appended claims, reference beinghad to the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View showing my invention as applied for use. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of my invention. Fig. 4 is a top plan view thereof. Fig. 5 is a front end view thereof; Fig. 6 is a back end view of my invention. Fig. 7 is a horizontal section on the line 7 7 of Fig. 3. Fig. 8 is a cross-section on the line 8 8 of Fig. 5. Fig. 9 is a detail perspective view of the base member detached. Fig. 10 is a detail perspective view of the file-carryingframe detached. Fig. 11 is a detail perspective view of the file-carrying clamps which cooperate With the filecarrying frame. Fig. 12 is a perspective view of my invention looking from another position. Fig. 13 isv a detail form showing a slightly-modified form of screw members 7 7 and 3. v

Referring now to the accompanying drawings, in which like numerals and letters of reference indicate like parts in all of the figures, l designates the base, which comprises a body portion 1, having a longitudinal slotway 1, through which the securing-bolt 2 passes. Integrally formed with the body portion 1 of the base 1 and at right angles thereto is a supplemental body portion 1, apertured, as at 1 to receive the adjusting-screw 3, hereinafter referred to.

4 designates what I term the file-carrier frame, and the said frame comprises a rectangular plate 4:, having a pair of horizontal lugs 43 4, through which and through lugs 1 1 of the base 1 the pivot-rivets 4 pass to pivotally secure the plate 4: to the base 1 to permit the plate 4 to be swung on a vertical axis to swing in a horizontal plane.

. 4 designates a threaded aperture in the plate 4 to receive the threaded enc 3 of the adjusting-screw 3, which freely turns in the aperture 1 and is prevented from axial movement with respect to the supplemental body portion by the collar 3". The screw 3 serves to limit the swinging movement of the plate 4:.

At the top the plate 4 is formed with a pair of vertical lugs 45 45, between which a winged nut 5*, having a grooved collar 5", is held to turn. To hold the collar 5 in place between the lugs 4 4 I join the said lugs by a cross piece et which engages with the grooved collar 5, as clearly'shown in Fig. 6. At the bottom and on the front face thereof the plate 4 is formed with a pair of verticallydisposed lugs 4 t apertured to receive the rivets 6 6, which also pass through cooperating lugs L 4! of a second plate 45 of substantially the same shape as the plate A. The plates 4 and 48 are pivotally connected to one another by their lugs L 4 and the rivets 6, so that the plate 49 may be swung in a vertical plane on a horizontal axis. At the upper end the plate 4 is apertured to receive the end 5 of the threaded bolt 5, which is pivotally secured to the plate P by the rivet 5 and the said bolt 5 passes through and cooperates with the winged nut 5 and serving together with the said winged nut tolimit the movement of the plate L.

4 P designate horizontally-elongated apertures in the plate 4, through which the securing-screws 7 pass.

8 designates the file-holding clamp, which I viz:

comprises the clamp base-plate 8, against which the file 9 is held by the side clamps 8, which are secured to the plate 8 by the screws 8" 8, as shown, to allow of vertical adjustment of the file in the clamp. The plate 8 is apcrtured, as at 8 8, to receive the securing-screws 7 7, by means of which the plate 8 is securely held against the plate 4!.

By providing the plate 4" with apertures l" 4:", through which the screws 7 7 pass, the file-holder can be laterally adjusted to allow for variations in the distance between the saw and the body portion 1 of the base 1.

So far as described the manner in which my invention operates and is applied for use will be best understood by reference to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, from which it will be seen that the saw S is mounted on'the glimmer-frame G in the usual manner, the glimmer (1? comprising the two legs /g, which are provided with longitudinally-adjustable slots fr "1 21s shown. My invention is mounted directly on the gummer-frame Gr, the bolt 2 passing through the body portion 1 and the leg y of the glimmer-frame. By providing the slot 1 the device can be easily adjusted to provide for use in connection with saws of various diameters. as will be clearly understood by reference to the drawings. By simply adjusting the screws 3 the file can be set at right angles to the faces of the saw and straight across the teeth. (See Fig. 4.) By adjusting the bolt 5 the file can be held vertically or moved at an angle to the horizontal whenever it may be found desirable. To provide for using my invention on saws which are held at a greater or lesser distance from the plate 1, it is only necessary to loosen the screws 7 7, when the file-clamp may be moved laterally to bring the file into proper alinement with respect to the saw, the apertures a" i permitting the passage of a suitable screw-driver to manipulate the screws 7.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it is thought the complete construction, operation, and many advantages of my invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which it appertains, and I desire to say that slight changes in the detailed construction, operation, and design of the various parts may be made without departing from the invention or the scope of the appended claims.
