SOLON R. RUST AND ARTHUR E. RUST, OF PINE MEADOW, CONNECTICUT.
PLANE.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 287,584,
dated October 30, 1883.
Application filed May 10, 1883. (Model.)

To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we SOLON R. RUST and ARTHUR E. RUST, of Pine
Meadows, in the county of Litchfield and State of Connecticut,
have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Planes,
of which the following is a description, reference being had
to the accompanying drawing, where —
Figure 1 is a view of longitudinal vertical section of a plane
embodying our improvements on plane denoted by line x
x of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same. Fig. 3
is a detail view in cross-section on the line y y
of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail end view of the carriage, looking
from below.
Our invention has for its object the construction of planes
cheaper and more readily adjusted to varied uses that the forms
now in common use; and it consists in the special arrangement
and combination of the parts for adjusting the cutting-iron
and clamping the same, and in changing the character of the
plane from a single to a double iron, as hereinafter more particularly
described.
In the accompanying drawings, the letter a denotes a
body of common form, and made of any desirable material, as
iron; b, the usual mortise of opening through to the
face of the plane; c, the cutting-bed; d, a transverse
flange provided with the socket d1; e, a carriage
having upon the lower side a tubular projection adapted to fit
into and move longitudinally in the socket of d1, and
on its upper side the arms f, provided with the interiorly-projecting
flanges or their equivalents.
On the carriage, and between the arms, rests the cutting-iron
g, which is a flat piece of metal provided with a chisel-edge,
and upon it, and also adapted to the slide between the arms,
is arranged the cap-iron and clamp h, which has upon
each side the projections h, which limit the forward
movement of the clamp, and at its rear end, in a threaded socket,
the clamp-screw h1.
The screw-spindle i is rotarily secured in the tubular
projection on the carriage, as by means of the transverse pin
j, and its lower end projects into and operates in the
nut formed in the body of the plane. This peculiar arrangement
of the carriage enables it to have a rocking motion sidewise,
or transversely of the plane, and at the same time makes it
adjustable in the plane of the cutting-iron. This rocking motion
of the carriage enables one to adjust the back of the plane-iron
to a perfect bearing on the cutting-bed, and at the same time
support and hold it against longitudinal motion. |
