Key to Links for Patent Information

USPTO = U.S. Patent Office . Images of the actual patent can be viewed on the U.S. Patent Office web site but a special TIFF viewer must be installed with your browser in order properly work. More information on how to configure your computer to view these patents can be found at TIFF image Viewers for Patent Images.
DATAMP = Directory of American Tool And Machinery Patents . A sister site to VintageMachinery.org with information on patents related to machinery and tools. A much easier user interface than the USPTO's for finding information on machinery patents.

Among the several objects of the invention may be noted the provision of a boring machine with means whereby the spindle of the machine may be readily precisely adjusted as to its angle in respect to the base of the machine, and whereby the accuracy of adjustment may be maintained the provision of a vertical boring machine, and more particularly a jig borer, having a base and a spindle-carrying column which extends upward from the base at the rear of the base, with means for readily precisely adjusting the column in both front-to-rear and transverse planes to locate the spindle axis perpendicular to the plane of the table of the machine, and for holding the column in adjusted position and the provision of a boring machine of the class described having means for high-precision centering of the spindle of the machine in the head of the machine and for elimination of play of the spindle in the head.
3,628,498 Dec. 21, 1971 Optical Reader Assembly Adolph H. Kleinsorge Affton, St. Louis County, MO Abstract:
An optical reader assembly for accurately determining the angular position of a rotary worktable or the like regardless of the diameter of the worktable. The position of the optical reader is adjusted by a micrometer with movement of the micrometer stem translated to movement of the optical reader tangentially to the periphery of the worktable. To enable the assembly to be utilized with worktables of different diameters, adjustable cam means regulate the amount of movement of the optical reader occasioned by a predetermined movement of the micrometer stem.
