VlSE-MOUNT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 758,779, dated. May 3, 1904.

Application filed July 24,1903. Serial No. 166,812. No model.)

To all w hmn it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELTON E. REMSBERG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inVise-Mounts, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to vise-mounts, and has for its object to provide a portable mount or stand adapted to receive an ordinary vise and which may be readily moved from place to place, so as to bring the vise to the work.

To this end my invention consists incertain novel features, which I will now proceed to describe and will then particularly point out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a structure embodying my invention in one form, the same being shown with a swivel-vise mounted thereon. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of a portion of the structure shown in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the mount or stand having an ordinary or non-swiveling vise mounted thereon.

In the said drawings, 1 indicates the base of the stand, which is preferably triangular in form, said base having three supporting-contacts or points of support, whereby it is adapted to rest firmly upon an uneven surface. Two of the points of support consist of rollers 2, while the third point, 3, is plain or not provided with a roller, so that it is adapted to frictionally engage the floor or other supporting-surface. By reason of this construction the stand may be tilted so as to rest upon the rollers 2 and may then be readily moved from place to place, while the returning of it to an upright position will cause the friction-point 3 to engage the floor and prevent movement of the stand.

From the middle of the base 1 arises a column 4, secured at its lower end to the base, while its upper end is formed into a yoke 5, which supports a cap-plate 6. Said cap-plate has a plain or flat upper surface, and there is secured on it the table 7. Said table is provided on three of its edges with an upwardlyextending flange 8, which serves as a retaining device to prevent articles placed on the,

table from falling from the same. The fourth edge of the table 7 has a depending flange 9, which fits against the front edge of the cap- 'plate 6, forming an abutment to hold the table firmly in place relatively to the cap-plate. As an additional means for holding these two parts firmly in proper relation to each other the cap-plate is provided with a central opening 10 and the table is provided with a correspondingboss or projection 11, which fits within said opening. The table and cap-plate may be secured together by bolts 12, so as to be readily disconnected and assembled. It will be noted that the front edge of the table, which is provided with adepending flange, has no upwardly-extending flange, since this is the side which the vise overhangs.

In Figs. 1 and 2 I have shown a swivel-vise mounted on the stand, the vise being indicated as a whole by the reference-numeral 13 and comprising a base-plate 14:, secured to the table 7 by screw-bolts 15. Said base-plate constitutes a turn-table on which the body of the vise may turn, the pivot being formed by a vertical swivel-screw 16, the upper end of which is secured to the body of the vise 13 by a pin 17 or in any other suitable manner. The screw 16 passes through an unthreaded opening 18 in the base-plate 14: and through a similar unthreaded opening 19 in the table 7 and its boss or projection 10. The threaded lower end of said screw extends down into the space between the arms of the yoke 5 and there receives a hand-nut 20, which lies within the yoke, so as to be protected thereby, being at the same time readily accessible. WVhen the vise has been turned to any desired position, the hand-nut 20 is turned up so as to bear on the under side of the boss 10, thereby clamping the body of the vise to the base-ring 14: on the upper side of the table.

In Fig. 3 I have shown an ordinary or nonswiveling vise 21, secured to the table 7 by bolts 22, which may also serve to secure the table to the cap-plate 6.

The structure as a whole forms a simple and eflicient mount for a vise of either description readily assembled for use or taken apart for shipment and readily moved from point to point, as desired, thus permitting the vise to be brought to the work, which is frequently of very material advantage. The yoke-shaped head of the column forms an efficient support for the cap-plate and table, and the table in turn forms not only a support for. the vise, but also a support for the tools and work. The yoke-shaped head enables the vise to be used in connection with a swivel-vise,,accommodating and protecting the clamping, but by which it is held in position after adjustment.

I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise details of construction hereinbefore described, and shown in the accompanying drawings, as the same may obviously be modified without departing from the principle of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a portable vise-mount, a base, acolumn arising from said base and provided with a cap plate, and a table mounted on said capplate, provided at its rear and sides with an upwardly-extending retainingflange,'andhaving a-t the front a depending flange to engage the frontedge of the'cap-plate, substantially as'described.

2. In a portable vise-mount, the'combina tion, with a base, and a column arising from said base and provided at its upper end with a yoke and a cap-plate, said cap-plate having an aperture, of a table secured on the capplate and having an upwardly-extending retaining fiange at its back and sides, the front edge of said table being provided with a depending flange to fit against the front edge of the cap-plate, and the under side of said table being provided with a boss or projection to fit the aperture in the cap-plate, substantially as described.

3. In a portable vise-mount, the combination with a base, of a column arising from the base and terminating at its upper end in a yoke and cap-plate, the latter being provided with a central aperture, a table secured on said cap-plate and provided with a boss or projection fitting the aperture of the cap-plate, a base-plate or turn-table secured on the table, a vise mounted on the base-plate and provided with a screw extending loosely through the baseplate-and through the table and its boss into the space between the arms of the yoke,

and a clamping-nut mounted on said screw between the arms of the yoke, and-adapted to bear against the under face of the boss of the table, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
