To all whom 11/; may (urn/(207 12,: mounted in the base-plate and extends there- .llc it known that l, Joan W. llt'nssn'nn, a through for a purpose to be described. The 5 citizen of the United Eitatcs, residing at ltiatt, pinions 17 and 18 are litted with removable in the county of l Bullivan and State ol Pcnnsocketed wrench-heads 20, secured by pins ll sylvania, have invented new and useful lmor in any other suitable manner. ljlilloreutproveinents in l l heclwright l\tlachines, ol sized wrencli-heads will be provided to enable which the following is a SlJQClllUiLlQlUll. the machine to operate on nuts ol dill'erent 55 Tilly invention relates to a wheelwright-masizes.

The base-plate 10 is The outer end of the shaft 13 will be fastened litted with a cutting-blame 33, which projects 4 in the drill-chuck, the drill-bit lirst being refrom the front end thercol, being dovetailed moved and the machine will be operated by thereinto. A movable cutting-blade is indithe rotation of the drill-spindle in the usual catcd at 3%, being carried by a slide 35. This 9 manner. The lower end of the shaft 13 is blade is also dovetailed in. The slide works littcd with a pinion 16, which meshes with a along the under side ol the base plate. being pinion 17, and the latter pinion meshes with supported on lningers 36, secured to said plate, a pinion 18. The pinion .17 is suitably jour- The slide is slotted, as at 37, to clear the tube naled in the base-plate 10, and the pinion 18 19. A pin or bolt es cntends transversely is last on a tube 19, which is rotatably through the slide. at the rear end thereoil, and

through a slot 39 in a lever 40, which is fulcru med to the base-plate, as at 41. The lever 4:0 is connected by a link 42 to an operatinglever 43, which is fulcrumed to the base-plate, as at 4A. The lever a0 is forked and extends on both sides of the slide, the connection between these parts being the same on both sides, so that the movement of the slide will be in a perfectly straight line and no binding thereof in the hangers will ensue.

The operation of the machine will be apparent from the foregoing description. To unscrew a nut, the wheel is positioned as shown by dotted lines in Fig. l. The drill-spindle is then rotated, which rotates the wrench-heai'l on the pinion 18. As the nut clears the bolt it drops down the tube 19 into the box 22. To screw on a nut, the wrench-head on the pinion 17 is used. The end of the bolt is cut off or trimmed by placing it between the blades 33 and 34 and swinging the lever 43. The blades can be readily removed for sharpening. hen the blade 33 wears, it can be slid forward and a block &5 inserted behind it, as shown in Fig. l.

A machine constructed as herein described is easy to operate, has no complicated parts to get out of order, and effectively serves the purpose for which it is intended. Minor changes in the construction and arrangement of the various parts can be made without departing from the scope of the invention, and I do not desire to limit myself to the precise construction shown, except as hereinafter claimed.

Having thus described my invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is

1. in a wheelwright-machine, the combination of a base, a rotatable vertical shaft journaled therein, a pinion on the shaft, a pinion journaled in the base and provided with a socketed wrench-head, and an intermediate pinion in mesh with the aforesaid pinions and also provided with a socketed wrench-head.

2. In a wheelwright-machine, the combination of a base, a rotatable vertical shaft journaled therein, a pinion on the shaft, a tube rotatably mounted in the base, a pinion on the tube and provided with a socketed wrenchhead, a receptacle under the tube, and an intermediate pinion in mesh with the aforesaid pinions and also provided with a socketed wrench-head.

3. In a wheelwright-machine, the combination of a base, an upright thereon, a rotatable vertical shaft journaled in the base and upright, a pinion on the shaft, a pinion journaled in the base and provided with a socketed wrench-head, an intermediate pinion in mesh with the aforesaid pinions and also having a socketed wrench-head, and a lever pivoted to the upright and having bolt-holding means.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOHN WV. RUSSELL.
