SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 258,558, dated May 30, 1882. l I Application filed Novcmber 2, 1SS1. (No model.)

To all whom tt may concern:

Beit known that I, EUGENE Coon, of Nashville, in the county of Barry and State of Michigan, have invented a new and Improved Carriage-Painters J ack; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of my improved carriage-painters jack. Fig. 2 is an end elevation ofthe same. Fig. 3 is a plan view. Fig. 4 is a view ot' the jack adapted to supporta wheel, and Fig. 5 is a view of the cone-plug to i support a wheel.

'Ihe object of my invention is to construct a carriage-painteisjack for supporting the body or wheels of a vehicle and raising or lowering and revolving them and adjusting them to an y desired angle `while being coated, rubbed, striped, or varnished, thereby greatly facilitating these operations; and to these ends my invention consists of a hollow interiorly screwthreaded socket or tube supported on a suitable base and adapted to receive and engage with a screw-threaded shaft, to the upper end of which is secured, by a double knuckle-joint provided with clamping-bolts, a frame for supporting a carriage-body, and devices for securing the body to the supporting-frame, whereby the body can be raised or lowered or re# volved or adjusted to any desired angle and clamped in that position for the purpose ot' facilita-ting the coating, rubbing, striping, or varnishing of the body.

My invention further consists in certain details of construction hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, a represents a socket or tube screw-threaded interiorl y near its upper end, and having its lower end secured to a suitable base, b, preferably of circular form, and provided with screw-holes, whereby the base and its socket may be secured to the floor of a building.

c represents a shaft screw-threaded near its lower end, and adapted to be screwed up and down in the tube or socket c, a sleeve or shoulder being secured to the lower end of the shaft c to prevent it from being screwed out of the tube or socketI a. The serew-shaftc is provided at its upper end with a bifurcated head, Least or formed with said shaft.

li represents a metallic block, having a tenon at its lower end adapted to tit between the bifureations in the head d, and provided with a hole for the passage ot' a clamping-bolt, i, screw-threaded at one end and provided with ahaudle,7.'. Theclamping-boltipassesthrough opposite holes in the bifurcations in the head d and through the hole in the tenou of the block, and its screw-threaded end engages with threads cutin one ofthe holesin one of the bifurcations. rIhelowereud oftheteuonof thebloek h is rounded to allow the block h to turn freely in the bifurcated head. By this construction the block is pivoted to the bifuroated head,and can be clamped at any desired angle. The upper face of 'the metallic block h is provided with a threaded central hole, l, adapted to receive the threaded end of a cone-shaped plug, m, provided with a shoulder, u, and short shaft o. rIlhe plug m is screwed into thev central hole, Z, in the upper face ofthe block h, and the hub of a wheel to be striped or coated or varnished is placed over the short shaft o, which is provided with a hole near its outer end for the passage of a removable cross-pin, whereby the wheel is retained on the short shaft o, and may be revolved thereon. By this construction it will be seen that a wheel secured on the block h, as set forth, can be raised or lowered, as desired, by screwing up or down the shaft c, and that the wheel can also be revolved on the shaft c as an axis, and can be coated or striped or varnished on one side, and its pivoted supporting-block h swung over one hundred and eighty degrees by its knuckle-joint connection with the bifurcated head d, and be coated or striped on its opposite side, and that the wheel may be adjusted to any desired angle and clamped in any position by the clampin g-bolt t'.

In order to coat, rub, or varnish a vehiclebody, I have invented the following construction, adapted to be applied to the above-described devices, which I shall now proceed to describe.

'Ille metallic block his provided with a hole passing through it at right angles to the clamping-bolt fi, for the passage of a second clampin g-bolt, p, which also passes through opposite IOO p, provided with a handle.

io joint, and is capable of being adjusted in any desired position and secured in such position by the clamping-bolts, and can also be turned around in the socket or raised and lowered as desired.

The frame r is composed of two parallel central longitudinal pieces, s, with a slot, t, between them, and two pieces, u u, secured to the ends ofthe longitudinal pieces, and at right angles thereto, and hollowed out between the longitudinal pieces for the reception of a board screwed or otherwise secured to the bottom of the vehicle-body.

e e represent levers provided with cams at their inner ends, which levers are pivoted to one of the longitudinal pieces s near its ends.

When it is desired to coat, rub, stripe, or varnish a wheel the frame 1' is removedv by withdrawingthe clamping-boltp,andrhewheel is secured to the adjustable block 7L by means of the cone-plug m. If it is desired to coat, rub, or varnish a vehicle-body, the wheel and cone-plug are removed and the lugs of the frame r are pivoted to the block h by means of the clamping-bolt p. A board is then screwed or otherwise secured across the bottom ot' the vehiclebody at its middle and the board inserted in the slot t between the longitudinal parallel pieces s. The cam-levers e are then applied to the board to secure it and the vehiclebody to the frame r, and the body thus secured to the frame may be raised or lowered or turned in the socket or adjusted to any desired angle and clamped in any desired position, thereby greatly facilitating the process of coating, rubbing, and varnishing the body.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. The combination,wth a frame, r, adapted to support and be secured to a vehicle-body, of a threaded shaft, c, engaging in an interiorly-threaded socket or tube, a, and connected with the frame 1' by auniversal joiut,substan tially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. rI he combination, with the socket or tube a, interiorly threaded near its upper end, and shaft c, provided with a bifurcated head, d, and threaded near its lower end and fitting in said socket, of the tenoned block h, frame r, provided with the lugs q q, and clamping-bolts tp, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

3. The combination of the socket or tube a, interiorly threaded near its upper end, shaft c, provided with a bifurcated head, d, and fitting in said socket, tenoned block It, clamping-bolt 1', and cone-plug mi, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

4. The frame r, composed of the parallel longitudinal pieces s, with a. slot, t, between them, perforated lugs q q, hollowed end pieces, u u, and cam-levers c fv, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

EUGENE COOK.
