SAMUEL D. PALMER,` OF ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS.

SAWBUCK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 530,601, dated December 11,1 894.

Application iiled February 28, 1894. Serial No. 501,886. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUELl D. PALMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sawbucks, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to construct aknock down sawbuck which is readily placed together for use, and when separated may be folded into a small compass.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, is

an isometrical representation of a saw buck embodying my improvements placed together in position ready for use. Fig. 2, is a face and edge elevation of the center portion of the lengthwise bar 3. Fig. 3, is a face and edge representation of the center portion of the lengthwise bar 1. Fig. 4,l is a face and edge representation of` the lower end of the lengthwise bar 3. l

The lengthwise bar 1, has its inner face near its upper end provided with edge recesses 2, which are deeper at their upper ends and tapering toward the edge of the bar, and are undercut in dove tailed form, and the lengthwise bar 3, near its upper end is provided with a dove tailedrecessft,cutcrosswise of thebarand at an angle thereto, and is ot such dimensions that when placed against the inner tace of the lengthwise bar 1, and to the upper end of the edge undercuts it will drop into position and when the bar 1, is forced in its lengthwise direction the two lengthwise bars will lock themselves together forming one of the ends of the saw buck as shown at Fig. 1, the other end of the saw buck being fort-ned in the same manner. The inner faces of the lengthwise bars 3, below their connection with the lengthwise bars 1, are provided with dove tailed grooves 5, which are tapering in their lengthwise direction as shown at Fig. 4, and the ends of the cross bars 6, are cut in dove tailed form, and tapering so that when they are placed in position Within the dove tailed grooves 5, and driven downward a connection will be formed between the ends ot' the saw buck as shown at Fig. l. By this arrangement of parts a saw buck is constructed which will be very strong, and the weight of the wood to be sawed placed within the upper ends of the frame will tend to further drive the parts together, and aframe constructed after this manner is very easily taken apart for shipment, and it will be noticed that no other means are employed to hold the parts together than the tapering dove tails, and an unobstructed space is left above the cross bars 6.

The upper ends of the lengthwise bars 3, are provid ed with a vertical notch 7, within which may be seated the trunnions of a revolving churn or other vessel thereby utilizing the frame as a churn support.

I claim as my invention- A frame having two ends, each composed of two lengthwise bars the meeting face of one bar provided with edge recesses deeper at their upper ends and tapering toward the edge of the bar and an undercut in dove tailed form, the meeting face of the other blar protion of the first mentioned bar, and braces connecting the ends.
