DES GN FOR AN UPRIGHT DRILLING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 2,839, dated March 28, 1882. A
Application filed January 23, 1882. Term of patent 14 years.

To all chon it may concern: top of the frame is made with a forward-arched
Be it known that I, VERNON F. PRENTICE, portion, a”, as a continuation of the cylindri. 45
of Worcester, in the county of Worcester and cal column a, which terminates with the up
State of Massachusetts, have invented and
produced a certain new and original Design
for Upright Drilling Machines; and I declare
the following to be a description of my said de
sign, sufficiently full, clear, and exact to ena
ble others skilled in the art to which it apper
O tains to make and use the same, reference be.
ing had to the accompanying drawing, which
forms a part of this specification, and which
represents a perspective view of a drilling
Imachine conforming to my new design.
IS The principal feature in my design is the
peculiar form and proportions of the frame and
the relative location thereon of the several
operative parts to give a vigorous, graceful,
and pleasing appearance to the machine.
a is the nain cylindrical column, with its
foot resting upon the elongated base-plate l,
and having along its forward part, above the
cylindrical bearing of the table c, the vertical
dovetailed guideway a for the working-head
e, while at the rear, and at a short distance
away from said main column a, is the back
standard, d, of elliptical sectional form, and
standing parallel to said main column for a
length corresponding to the length of the guide
3o way, or nearly so, and connected to the rear
of the main column a by the transom-bars d'
at the upper and lower extremities of the
straight portion, as indicated. The lower por
tion of the back standard is divided to form
35 two portions or limbs, g and l, that curve away
from each other sufficiently to include the cone
pulley i of the counter and then descend and
rest upon the bed-plate b, as shown, the bear
ings for the counter-shaft being on said parts
40 g and h, near the bed-plate, and the driving
pulleys it located in rear of the limb h. An
inclined crossbar or brace connects the curved
portions of the limbs glk above the cone i. The
right bearing a, that guides the drill-spindle
and forms the seat for the spindle. operating
gear above and cone-pulleysi below, relatively
located as shown. An arm, m, springs from So
above the back standard, d, with an outward
and upward curve, as shown, for sustaining
the rear bearing of the operating-shaft. The
lower part of arm in broadens out to meet the
arched potion a”, with a central upright, l, 55
springing from their junction and rising to
carry the center bearing of the operating-sla?t,
tle cone pulley's k and speed-gears being lo
cated in the space between the aruns an and l,
as illustrated. The front bearing, n, stands
upon the top of the arch a”.
This design imparts to the drilling machine
graceful proportions, vigorous form, and a very
pleasing and desirable ornamental appearance.
What I claim, and desire to securely Letters
Patent, is--
1. The design for an upright drilling ma
chine herein before described, the same con
sisting of the upright portions a a d, divided
rear foot, gh, and top portion composed of the 7 o
forward arch, a, arml, and rear arm, n, formed
and relatively disposed as shown.
2. The design for an upright drilling ma
cline, the same consisting of the uprights a
a' d, divided supports g h, resting on the bed 75
b, forward arch, a”, and rear arm, n, respect
ively formed and proportioned as shown, with
the several operative mechanisms located and
disposed in relation thereto in the manner il.
lustrated and described.
