Vise for Milling Machines, Planers, Etc.
|
Volney W. Mason Jr. |
Hyde Park, Norfolk County, MA |
Patented in the U. S., patent #508,732.
Abstract:
This improved vise is intended particularly for use in connection with milling machines, but there are other machines to which it may be applied, such as planers; and I propose to use it in connection with any machine where it will be of service.
Vises for milling machines as ordinarily constructed have two jaws or clamps, one having a limited movement with relation to the other, and the capacity of the vise is confined to the very limited movement of this movable jaw.
In my improvement, the capacity of the vise is very greatly enhanced as is also the length and nicety of the adjustment of the parts upon the bed of the milling or other machine. |

Machine for hobbing worm-gears
|
Volney W. Mason Jr. |
Hyde Park, MA |
The inventor was the son of the founder of the Volney W. Mason Co. So far as we can tell that company manufactured neither gears nor gear-making machinery. The son also obtained a pair of patents for composite gears, 711,991 and 763,993. In 1904 he was the New York City agent for the Taylor Iron & Steel Co. of High Bridge, NJ. A 1911 patent for a crusher-head, 993,783, was granted to Mason, Jr., and assigned to the Edgar Allen American Manganese Steel Co. of Augusta, ME. |
