Abstract
In a vise, such as now commonly used to hold a workpiece for drilling, cutting and finishing, the stationary main body is provided with a replaceable jaw member having a plurality of jaw faces, and the adjustible jaw body is formed as a jaw unit having a plurality of jaw plates. Both of the jaw member and the jaw unit are adapted to rotate so that any of the jaw faces and/or the jaw plates can be selected off-handedly in accordance with the kind and shape of a workpiece to insure an ideal grip of the piece.
Claims5
A vise comprising:
- (a) a main body, said main body including a head portion having an L-shaped recess thereon, said recess being formed by two plate members integral with said main body, and a jaw member rotatably mounted in said L-shaped recess, said jaw member having a plurality of jaw faces thereon;
- (b) a slide piston;
- (c) an adjustable screw shaft coupling said slide piston to said main body;
- and
- (d) an adjustable jaw means mounted on said slide piston, wherein said adjustable jaw means comprises a plurality of jaw plates rotatable about the axis of said adjustable screw shaft, each of said jaw plates having a jaw face corresponding to the jaw faces of said jaw member, whereby one of said jaw faces of said rotatably mounted jaw member is positioned opposite to a corresponding jaw face of said adjustable jaw means to form the jaws of said vise.

A vise comprising:
- (a) a main body, said main body including a head portion having an L-shaped recess thereon, said recess being formed by two plate members integral with said main body, and a jaw member rotatably mounted in said L-shaped recess, said jaw member having a plurality of jaw faces thereon;
- (b) a slide piston;
- (c) an adjustable screw shaft coupling said slide piston to said main body;
- and
- (d) adjustable jaw means interconnected with said slide piston, said adjustable jaw means including a head portion having an L-shaped recess thereon, said recess being formed by two plate members integral with said main body, and a jaw member rotatably mounted in said L-shaped recess, said jaw member having a plurality of jaw faces thereon which correspond to the jaw faces on the head portion of said main body.

A vise comprising:
- (a) a main body, said main body including a head portion having an L-shaped recess thereon with end plates on the end of said L-shaped recess, each said end plate having a groove therein, a jaw member, pin means extending through said grooves and into said jaw member for rotatably mounting said jaw member in said L-shaped recess, and resilient means for normally holding said jaw member against one end of said groove to prevent the free rotation thereof, said jaw member having a plurality of jaw faces thereon;
- (b) a slide piston;
- (c) an adjustable screw shaft coupling said slide piston to said main body;
- and
- (d) an adjustable jaw means mounted on said slide piston, wherein said adjustable jaw means comprises a plurality of jaw plates rotatable about the axis of said adjustable screw shaft each of said jaw plates having a jaw face corresponding to the jaw faces of said jaw member, whereby one of said jaw faces of said rotatably mounted jaw member is positioned opposite to a corresponding jaw face of said adjustable jaw means to form the jaws of said vise.

A vise comprising:
- (a) a main body, said main body including a head portion having an L-shaped recess thereon with end plates on the end of said L-shaped recess, each said end plate having a groove therein, a jaw member, pin means extending through said grooves and into said jaw member for rotatably mounting said jaw member in said L-shaped recess, and resilient means for normally holding said jaw member against one end of said groove to prevent the free rotation thereof, said jaw member having a plurality of jaw faces thereon;
- (b) a slide piston;
- (c) an adjustable screw shaft coupling said slide piston to said main body;
- and
- (d) adjustable jaw means interconnected with said slide piston, said adjustable jaw means including a head portion having an L-shaped recess thereon with end plates on the end of said L-shaped recess, each said end plate having a groove therein, a jaw member, pin means extending through said grooves and into said jaw member for rotatably mounting said jaw member in said L-shaped recess, and resilient means for normally holding said jaw member against one end of said groove to prevent the free rotation thereof, said jaw member having a plurality of jaw faces thereon which correspond to the jaw faces on the head portion of said main body.
