IMPROVEMENTTN ADJUSTABLE FEET PoR CLOCK-CASES.

T he Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent: and making parl'. of the nam@ To all `whom it may concern:

'Be it known that I, ORMEL R. LUTHER, of Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Adjustment for Clock-Cases; and I do hereby1 declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the -letters of reference marked thereon, to bea full, clear, and exact description of the. same, and which said drawings constitute part of this speciication, and represent in- Figure l, a perspective view; l

Figure 2, a perspective view of the fixed part;

Figure 3, a perspective view of the adjustable part; and in Figure 4, a section illustrating the operation.

The object of this invention is lan attachment for clock-cases, so as to adjust the level ofthe same, and consists in a metallic corner or plate for the case,'pr0 vided with a hollow shank, to receive a socket which screws into the said shank, and serves as a leg or foot for the clock, and which, by the turning ofthe socket, may be shortened or lengthened as occasion requires.

A is the corner plate, constructed with a hollow shank, B.

C is a socket, constructed so as to tit onto the shank, and is provided in its center' with a threaded screw, a.

The shank B is provided with a thread at its lower end, to receive the screw a, as seen in tig. 4.

The socket C is, by means of the said screw, ap` plied to the shank, and turned thereon vuntil the requisite length or heightl is attained, the broken lines, in tig. 4, denoting the extension of t-he leg, while the figure itself shows the leg shortened This article is to be applied to the different corners of the base of the clock, so as to support the salue, and the socket to be turned to lengthen or shorten to the required level, and, when set, is not liable to be displaced as other temporary adjustments usually applied for this purpose.

While I `have represented the socket as turning on over the shank,it willbe obvious that the construction can be reversed, and the socket set within the shank, the screw being formed also in the. shank.

I claim as my invention- As a new article of manufacture, the herein-de'` scribed adjustment for clock-cases, consisting of the I,plate A, with the shank B, combined with the socket C, constructed for adjustment substantially in the manner described.
