Application inea January 11,f1932. seriai No. sassari.'

' This invention relates' to a vise designed morev especially for use in the assemblyof leaf springs such as used on automobiles and..

other vehicles, one of thev objects being to 5 j rovide` afdevice which A'can be compactly stored, easily assembled for use and .can be employed as an ordinary vise for gripping pipes, angularstructures' and special work,

it being possible to changethe jawsquickly.v

AnotherY object 'is` to provide a means whereby removablejsupplemental jaws can interlock with their Vholders and thus be heldagainstaccidental displacement. Vith "the foregoing and other objects in 5 View which willr appear as thev description Aproceeds,`the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of partsv and Tin the details of construction hereinafterr described and claimed,` itr being Aunderstood o that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention" herein disclosed may be Vmade within the scope of what is claimedwithoutV 0 j Figure 2 is a section online 2 2, Figure l, supplemental jaws being shown connected to the main jaws.,V f 1 Figure 3 is a section on line 3-A-35'Figure 2. -Figure 4 is a rear elevation of the removgable Suppkgmental jaw shown inFigure 2.

Referring to the iigures by characters of reference l'designates a box-like base the flat top of which is provided with an elongated central opening 2 SideV ianges 3 extend from the top of the base and constitute conywall of the basee'Xt-ends between this collar and head 7 'so thatthe'sclrew 'is thus held `ing 2 'is a stationaryjaw 12 the. middlefportween the" opposite face of the; jgw and :base l. l Y.,

. A-movabl'e jaw issupportedfdetachably by the base `and has beenindicated atf16; This movable jaw is formed withal bottom 17 i 'adapted t0 rest upon bas 1n This ,boaom'@ extends beyond the 'side' flanges '3 andihas depending inturned flanges 18 'adapted to ystraddle flanges 3 and thus holdjaw 16 assemy bled withithebase.` Bylmo'ving the jaw 16 to a point betweenthe cut awayipjortionsli," j it becomespossible to lift the jaw from the base; 5'" I" Ribs `19 are formed ontheactive face-oiijaw V16 and extend from the'top thereot topoints.

portionfof the jaw is cut away as indicated is insertible transversely into the slot and its height is less than the height of the slot, thus the nut and the block 22 can have sliding bore 23 and screwed through the nut 25`until one end of the feed screw becomes seated in the other endof the base.V Sleeve l1 is then adjusted against the inner side of the base and secured to the screw so that it, in cooperation with head 7 will hold the screw against :longitudinal movement.

The spring or kother work to which the device is adapted to be placed between the Vjaws 12 and 16 and where it will be held against lateral displacement by the ribs 14 and 19. By rotating the screw the jaw 16 will be shifted relative to jaw 12 thereby placing the spring under the desired'coinpression or releasing it as desired. j

' This device can be used as an ordinary vise by combining supplemental jaws with the `main jaws. In Figures 3, 4, and 5, a movable supplemental jaw has been shown. This jaw 26 is formed in its backxface with recesses 27 one or more of which are adapted to receive the ribs 19 while at the same time the jaw will thrust firmly against the main jaw 16. A lug ,23 is formed on the back of the supplemental jaw 26 and has a screw threaded stud 29 projecting therefrom which is adapted toextend through a clamp 30.

After the supplemental jaw has been applied'to the main jaw at which ltime it extends both under andpover the ribs 19, as

shown in Figure 2, the -clamp, 30 is placed between the ribs 21 and on stud 29. Viing nut 31 or the like islthen screwed onto the stud 29 so as to bind the clamp 30 upon the jaw 16 and thereby hold the supplemental jaw securelyvin position. VSmall centering wings'32 can be extended downwardly from jaw 26 to facilitate its assembly with the main jaw. Y

. The other supplemental jaw 33 is adapted to be assembledv with the main aw 12 and has recesses 34V in 'its back face one or more of which are adapted to receive the ribs 14. Jaw 33 not only bears against the ribs 14 and jaw 12 but also laps the topof the jaw 12 and has a flange 35 which extends under said jaw. Lug 36 is formed integral ywith jaw 33 and has a screw threaded lstud 37 for engagement by a clamp 38; This clamp is adaptedto bear against the jaw 12 between webs 15 and by means of a nut 39 enthe vise thus used for ygripping round obj jects such as pipes. One of the supplemental jaws -thus constructed has been shown in Figure 9. f

Supplemental jaws of other forms for yholding' special work can be used withL this For example,y andas shown in e structure. l Figure 8, the supplemental jawv 42v can'be made with'an angular recess 43 in its` workingface, this recess beinglined with leather or other softmaterial indicated at 44. A4

jaw of this construction can be used for hold- 'ing pistons and thelike.

Vhen the device herein described lis not in use or is to be stored or transported, the Ysliding jaw can be Ydetached readily from the ybase and the screw can'be removed as will be obvious. By pivotally connecting the crank to the screw4 it can be swung to any vdesired angle to facilitate packing. Openj `ings 45 can be provided in the base to receive screws or the like used for fastening it to a bench. l Y

What is claimed is: Y Y l j 1., A vise including a slotted base, a' feed screw therein, fixed and movable jaws on the base, an operative connection between c the screw andl movable jaw, arib on one face Vof eachv jaw, supplemental jaws bearing .against and adapted to receive the ribs, said ribs constituting means Vfor holding the Vsupplemental aws against lateral displacement, and means carried Vby the supplemental jaws for clamping them to the main jaws. y

2. -A viseincluding a slotted base, a feed screw therein, fixed and movable jaws on the base, an operative connectiony between the screw and movable jaw, a rib on one Vvface of each jaw, supplemental jaws bearing againstand adapted to receive the ribs,

said ribs constituting means for holding the Asupplemental jaws against lateral displacement, means carried bythe supplemental jaws for clamping them to the main jaws, andmeans on the supplemental jaws for extending over and under the ribs on the main jaws to` interlock therewith.

, In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, T have hereto affixed my signature. l
