Description: |
| This invention relates to improvements in vises and has for an object thereof the provision of a vise which may be easily and quickly adjusted t and set up in various positions and at different angles and effectively locked in the desired position or angle whereby to facilitate various uses thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates g to improvements in vises of the type disclosed in s U. S. Letters Patent No. 1,548,201, issued August 4th, 1925, to J. R. Long, and wherein the vise body supporting the jaws is rotatably mounted on a post supported by a base; and a locking t means automatically locks the body against turning on the post when the jaws are clamped on the work and releases the body when the jaws free the work. The body is provided with angularly related and intersecting post receiving bores which provide for supporting the body in different positions and for locking the body as aforesaid in any of said positions.
An important object of the present invention is to provide a vise of the character described which, in addition to the automatic locking means, is equipped with auxiliary manually operable means which may be actuated at will to releasably lock the body against turning on the post or actuated after the automatic locking action to prevent release of the locking means when the jaws release the work.
A further object is to provide a vise of the character described wherein the base is especially constructed to support the post in vertical or horizontal positions as desired, whereby the vise body and jaws may be supported in different positions to best suit the particular work, this arrangement affording a greater number of positions and angles at which the vise may be supported than is possible with a fixed post. Other objects may appear as the description progresses. |
