firmly any objects that may be received be-
tween them.
In Fig. 2 I have illustrated the vise-jaws of
the two arms D and C as being opposite each
5 other and as holding between them the head
of a bolt from which the nut is to be removed,
the set-screw 14 serving to hold the jaw C in
position, while the set-screw 32 performs the
same function for the jaw D.
io The tool when used as shown in Fig. 2 con-
stitutes practically a vise and may be secured
to any objects its forks may straddle by pass-
ing screws through the openings 25, or the
points of the vise may be driven into any ob-
15 ject capable of receiving them.
In Fig. 3 I have illustrated the tool used
also as a vise, but the parts are in a position
to hold an object, which they could not do
when in the position shown in Fig. 2. In said
2o Fig. 2 the flat point of the arm C is placed
opposite the claw or split jaw of the arm D.
In Fig. 4 the device is shown in use as a
drill-stock. The jaw of the arm D is made
to face the point 21 of the arm C, and in the
25 opening 20 in the head of the arm C the shank
33 of a disk handle or a wheel 34 is entered,
and a boring-bit or a drill 35 is made to enter
the polygonal opening 30 in the head of the arm
D. In boring wood the body-bar is grasped,
30 and by exerting pressure on the top of the
tool and turning the body-bar in a like man-
ner as the crank of an ordinary brace the
bit 35 will be driven into the material and
may be drawn out therefrom. When metal is
35 to be drilled, the handle 34 may be placed
against any convenient support and braced
against the same through the medium of the
set-screw 14.
When the device is used as a brace or as a
4: drill-stock, it may be brought into action in
places where the ordinary brace or drill-stock
could not be used, since the space between
the two arms may be decreased by moving
said arms toward each other.
45 The tool is capable of being employed in
many other ways, which is not thought nec-
essary to be mentioned or illustrated; but
one other application may be stated-namely,
with reference to the use of the device for
5o turning or holding bolts for the purpose of
removing nuts. Referring to Fig. 1 of the
drawings, by reversing the positions of the
point 21 and face 18 the point 21 may be
brought to bear upon the head of a bolt that
55 turns and from which a rusted or tightened
nut is to be removed, while the fork 24 will
be on the opposite side of the article through
which the bolt passes. By operating the set-
screw 14 the point 21 cuts into the bolt-headand prevents it turning, while the nut that 6o
projects between the member of the fork can
be easily removed.
Having thus described my invention, I
claim as new and desire to secure by Letters
Patent- 65
1. A tool consisting of a body-bar, an arm
pivoted on the said body-bar, provided at one
side with a point and at the opposite side
with a vise-jaw, and a second arm adjustable
to and from the first-named arm, being like- 70
wise adjustable on the said body-bar, the sec-
ond arm being provided with a split jaw at
one side and a vise-jaw at the opposite side,
for the purpose described.
2. A tool consisting of a body-bar, an arm 75
pivoted on the body-bar, having a vise-jaw
formed at one side of one end and a-point at
the opposite side of the same end, a second
arm adjustable on the body-bar, provided
with a fork at one end, a vise-jaw at one side 8
of the opposite end, and a split jaw opposite
the vise-jaw, and an adjusting-screw for the
pivoted arm, for the purpose specified.
3. The combination, with a body-bar and
a set-screw carried thereby, of an arm adjust- 85
ably pivoted on the body-bar, adapted for en-
gagement with the set-screw, and provided
with a head having one of its faces roughened
and its opposite face provided with a point,
a second jaw loosely mounted on the body- 90
arm and provided with a head at one end,
having one face roughened and an opposite
face provided with a split jaw, and means for
locking the latter arm on the body-bar, for
the purpose specified. 95
4. The combination, with a body-bar, a set-
screw carried by the body-bar, an arm pivoted
on the body-bar, adapted to be engaged by
the set-screw and provided with a head hav-
ing an opening extending through it, a coun- 100
tersink at one end of the said opening, sur-
rounded by a roughened surface, the oppo-
site face of the head being provided with a
projecting point, of an arm held to slide on
the body-bar, terminating at one end in a x05
fork and at the opposite end in a head, the
head being provided with a polygonal slot ex-
tending through it, and a roughened counter-
sink at one end of the said slot, the opposite
side of the head being provided with a split rio
jaw, and means for locking the sliding arm
on the said body-bar, for the purpose speci-
fied.
