Abstract
Abstract A work piece locating device particularly for vertical or horizontal milling machines. A clamping block slidably receives and clamps in adjusted position at right angles and offset from each other a mounting and a sliding rod. Slots are provided in the clamping block and one clamping screw secures both rods in the block. The second or sliding rod may protrude at each end from the block and is provided with a slot at each end to receive a locating or feeler rod or indicator gauge. A work piece is located in its desired position by being moved up to touch the end of the locating rod or to an indicator gauge adjusted position. There are cap screws at the ends of the sliding rod that clamp its slotted end portions up against the locating rods. The mounting rod is threaded at one end and may be threadedly received in a mounting hole. If mounting is in a T-slot of a machine work bed, than a T-nut and washer are employed to mount the rod on the work bed of a machine. The work piece locating device may have its mounting rod attached to a clamping vise mounted on a work bed. The jaws of the vise hold the work piece after it is positioned.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
A locating stop for work com-prising in combination a mounting rod having means at one end for mounting the same, a slidable clamp rod for slidably receiving and supporting locating means for work, a clamping block, said clamping block having two apertures extending therethrough offset from each other and extending at an angle to each other and each receiving one of said rods, said block having slots extending thereinto from adjacent faces of the block and substantially terminating at their inner ends in said respective apertures, said block having an aperture extending into the block from another face of the block and across said slots and into a portion of the block where its inner end portion is threaded, a cap screw received in said aperture and threadedly received in the threaded inner end of the aperture and on tightening draws towards each other portions of the block defining said slots and tightens the walls of said apertures against said rods, said slidable clamp rod having means formed at its ends for slidably receiving and supporting and clamping therein said locating means for work being located by the locating stop.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
190 words
A locating stop for work com-prising in combination a mounting rod having means at one end for mounting the same, a slidable clamp rod for slidably receiving and supporting locating means for work, a clamping block, said clamping block having two apertures extending therethrough offset from each other and extending at an angle to each other and each receiving one of said rods, said block having slots extending thereinto from adjacent faces of the block and substantially terminating at their inner ends in said respective apertures, said block having an aperture extending into the block from another face of the block and across said slots and into a portion of the block where its inner end portion is threaded, a cap screw received in said aperture and threadedly received in the threaded inner end of the aperture and on tightening draws towards each other portions of the block defining said slots and tightens the walls of said apertures against said rods, said slidable clamp rod having means formed at its ends for slidably receiving and supporting and clamping therein said locating means for work being located by the locating stop.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
