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.

4,349,945 Sep. 21, 1982 Multi-purpose power tool Anthony Fox Minneapolis, MN "A multi-purpose power tool in which a power head and a power carriage are mounted for reciprocal translation on a pair of elongated tubular ways, the ways being pivotally mounted and counterbalanced with respect to a generally horizontal base or stand such that the power head and carriage may be moved independently in a horizontal plane or, alternatively, in a vertical plane. The power head and carriage assemblies may be moved in a precise manner relative to the ways, either manually or by means of a variable speed motor drive. Included within the power head is an arbor assembly which passes through a quill member, the arbor also being driven by a variable speed motor. The quill assembly is provided with means for moving same outwardly from the power head to a desired extent and for subsequently locking it in that position. The carriage assembly includes means for supporting and accurately positioning a work holding table. By properly choosing the tool elements to be mounted on the arbor, the multi-purpose power tool can be made to function as a table saw, a disc sander, a vertical drill press, a lathe, a horizontal boring machine, a horizontal or vertical milling machine, a stationary adjustable router or a high speed shaper."
