MULTIPLE TOOL-MACHINE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT D. RAY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Multiple Tool-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in multiple tool machines, the primary object of the invention being to provide a multiple or combination tool machine in which a number of machines or machine tools are arranged and combined in a novel manner and provided with means whereby the various parts may be readily transposed and arranged to cooperate with each other in a single combination machine, the present embodiment of the improved multiple or combination machine being particularly designed and adapted for use in small machine shops, automobile garages, and by automobile owners, and the like. For eXample,in the present embodiment of the improved multiple or combination machine, the following machine tools or devices are provided, to wit :a forge, anvil, vise, pipe-vise, emery wheel, drill, lathe, shaper, hack-saw, and milling ma chine.

In carrying out my invention I provide a combination machine in which a number of machines are combined and operated on a single bed plate and by the construction of the various parts of certain machines necessary for use in certain classes of work, such parts are also arranged to form cooperating parts of other machines performing other kinds of work. By combining these various machines and parts and causing the parts of one machine to take the place of the parts of other machines, the cost of manufacture is greatly decreased and the amount of space required for such machine is reduced to a minimum. Furthermore, owing to the decrease in weight, the improved combination machine is portable and can be moved or carried to the work in hand, and furthermore, by this combination of the various machines above referred to in close proximity to each other the performance of the various kinds of work is facilitated.

"With the above mentioned and other ends in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, hereinafter described, illustrated in some of its embodiments in the accompany- Specification of Letters Patent.

The guide member 5, and rack portion 5% thereof may be secured by means of screws 5*, as illustrated in Fig. 1b, of the drawings.

The head-stock is preferably clamped or otherwise secured in a stationary position and the anvil or tail-stock 4, is adapted to be moved in the guide-way of the bed plate toward and from the head-stock by means of a large vise or lead-screw 6, the latter being mounted in the lower portion of the head-stock 3, and being provided with a hand wheel 7, and handle 7.

The head and tail-stocks 3, and 4, are each provided with overhanging jaw portions 3, and 4, respectively, and with jaw holding lugs 8, adapted to receive removably mounted interchangeable aw blocks 9, the latter being provided with like sides and having lug receiving openings 9 to receive the jaw holding lugs 8, when the jaw or vise blocks 9, are mounted in position, as illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, 6, 7, and 9, of the drawings. As is shown, the removable jaw or vise blocks are adapted to project over the jaw portions 3, and 4 of the head and tail-stocks, and are provided with vertical and horizontally extending V-shaped notches or grooves 9 and 9, as well as several halfrounds 9 or other suitable and convenient recesses for receiving and containing the work being operated upon such as pipes and bars, as illustrated, for example, in Figs. 1 and 9 of the drawings.

As a means for locking the jaw blocks in seated position upon the lugs 8, the head and tail-stocks 3, and 4, are provided at theirsides with key members 10, said key members extending through the lugs 8, and terminating at the rear sides of the latter, and being provided with flattened angular portions 10, extending flush with or in a plane with the adjacent side of the lug as illustrated in Fig. 7, and the upper righthand portion of Fig. '5, so that the jaw blocks 9, may be readily slipped upon or removed from the holding lugs, and when it is desired to lock the blocks 9, in position,

said key members are rotated in an opposite direction or to the positions shown in the other figures of the drawings through the medium of the handles 10 whereby the rounded portions of the tip of the key members opposite the flattened portions 10, will be projected from the lugs 8, and into the key receiving recess 9 of the adjacent sides of the jaw blocks, as shown most clearly in 'Fig. 6, of the drawings.

The spindle 11, extends through the gear housing or head-stock and at one end is provided with a loosely mounted fan 12, arranged within a fan casing 13, bolted upon the rear end of the gear housing or head-stock. As a means for bringing the live spindle 11, into engagement with the fan 12, when it is desired to operate the fan as a blower, the projecting end of the spindle is provided with a clutch member or knob 14, having a bayonet slot 14, to receive a pin extending from the spindle 11, and operated in an obvious manner whereby a pin or projection 15, on the clutch member will be seated in an opening 15 in the hub portion of the fan when the clutch member is twisted to released position and is thrown into engagement with the hub portion of the fan by the operation of the spring 16, as illustrated most clearly in Fig. 17, of the drawings.

The live spindle 11, is provided at its end with a tapered socket opening 11, and an exteriorly threaded collared head 11 As a means for driving the spindle 11, as well as giving the same a changeable or low and high speed, the spindle 11, is provided with a tight bevel gear 17, meshing with a second bevel gear 18, on a driving shaft '19, the latter being adapted to be driven, in the present instance, by means of a crank wheel 20, and crank 20 so that when the two gears 17, and 18, are in mesh, as shown in Fig. 19, a slow speed for the spindle 11, will be provided upon the revolution of the crank 20 and driving shaft 19.

As a means for changing to high speed the shaft 19 is adapted to be shifted longitudinally by first lifting the lock lever 21, out of the annular groove 19 in the driving shaft, and thereupon shifting the driving shaft inwardly whereby the bevel gear 18, is thrown out of mesh with the bevel 17, and the larger bevel gear 22, will be brought into mesh with the beveled portion of the compound gear 23, loosely mounted on the spindle 11. Upon such shifting the lock lever 21, is dropped into the outer or adjacent annular groove 19 and the spur gear portions of the gear 2-5, meshing with a pinion 24, on a shaft 25, will cause the lat ter, through the medium of a large gear 26, near the opposite end and meshing with a pinion 27, on the spindle 11, to give the latter a very high speed in an obvious manher where such high speed is desired, as for example, in operating the fan 12, hereinbefore referred to, or an emery wheel, as illustrated in Fig. 4, of the drawings.

As a means for conveniently locating and operating a hack-saw 28, as shown in Figs. 1, 9, and 10, of the drawings, one end of the driving shaft 19, is provided with a threaded portion 19 and a collar 19, on the side of the gear housing or head-stock opposite the crank 20, said threaded portion 19*, being adapted to carry a crank disk 29, having a threaded hub :29, said hub 29*, having an annular guide groove 29, for receiving and containing the slotted base or handle portion 28, of the hack-saw, the latter being adapted to be reciprocated through the medium of a connecting link 30, and the length of the stroke of the hacksaw may be regulated by changing the position of the bearing screw or bolt 31, with respect to the center of the crank disk 29, and for which the different bolt receiving openings 29", are provided in the crank disk. By reason of the above construction it is obvious that the improved hack-saw may be readily attached or detached, as desired.

The anvil or tail-stock 4, is provided with a flaring opening 4", to receive and contain a tapered tail center pin 32.

When it'is desired to use the machine as a milling machine, as shown in Fig. 3, an arbor or driving spindle 33, with an internally threaded head 33, is attached to the threaded head 11 of the live spindle, the opposite end of the arbor 33, being supported by means of the tail center pin 32, and the milling cutter 34, mounted thereon by means of collars 35, in a well known and understood manner.
