A carriage 11 is mounted upon the rails
2 and 3 and bridges the intermediate por-
tion of the frame 1. At its forward portion
the said carriage is adapted to engage the
5 teeth of the rail 2, as indicated in Fig. 1 of*
the drawing, whereby the said carriage is
held in an adjusted position along the said
rails. In edge elevation the carriage 11 is
arched at its intermediate portion. Up-
10 standing brackets 12 are located at the side
edges of the forward portion of the carriage
11 and carry a cross pin 13. A bracket 14
is mounted upon the intermediate portion
of the carriage 11 and a sleeve 15 is screw
15 threaded therein for vertical adjustment. A
filer frame 16 is pivotally mounted upon the
cross pin 13 and includes a sleeve portion
17 which loosely receives the said pin and
which bears at its ends against the brackets
20 12 at the opposite sides of the carriage 11.
The said filer frame also includes a sleeve
portion 18 which is joined with the sleeve
portion 17 and is disposed at a right angle
thereto. A spindle 19 is journaled in the
25 sleeve portion 18 and at its lower end car-
ries a circular file 20. This file is provided
with a beveled periphery, as illustrated in
Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawings. A pulley 21
is fixed to the spindle 19 above the upper
3o end of the sleeve portion 18 and a collar 22
is mounted upon the upper portion of the
spindle 19 above the said pulley 21. An
abutment 23 is adjustably fixed to the upper
portion of the spindle 19 above the collar 22
35 and a coil spring 24 is interposed between
the upper surface of the pulley 21 and the
said abutment 23 and is under tension with
a tendency to hold the spindle 19 in elevated
position within the sleeve portion 18. The
40 filer frame 16 also includes an arm 25 which
extends toward the bracket 14. A rod 26
is slidably mounted in the sleeve 15 and at
its lower end bears against the upper sur-
face of the free end portion of the arm 25.
45 An abutment 27 is fixed to the intermediate
portion of the rod 26 and a coil spring 28
is interposed between the said abutment and
the lower end of the sleeve 15 and is under
tension with a tendency to hold the said rod
50 in lowered position in the said sleeve. A
nut 29 is adjustably mounted upon the upper
end portion of the rod 26 and is adapted to
engage the upper end of the sleeve 15, where-
by the downward movement of the rod 26
55 within the said sleeve is limited. A lug 30
is located at the intermediate portion of the
carriage 11 and a bolt 31 passes through the
same. A nut 32 is screw threaded upon the
end of the bolt 31 and at its inner face bears
60 against the side of the lug 30. A coil spring
33 is connected at one end with the bolt 31
and at its other end with the intermediate
portion of the sleeve portion 18 of the filer
frame 16. Therefore it will be. seen that by
65 turning, the nut 32 the bolt 31 may be movedlongitudinally within the lug 30, whereby
the tension of the spring 33 may be increased
or diminished as desired.
Lugs 34 are formed at the side edges of
the intermediate portion of the carriage 11 70
at points behind the standards 12 and carry
a cross pin 35. A lever 36 is fulcrumed upon
the cross pin 35 and its power end portion
extends toward the front edge of the car-
riage 11 and is provided with an upstand- 7i
ing handle 37. A spring 38 is interposed
between the. forward end portion of the car-
riage 11 and the power end portion of the
lever 36 and is under tension with a tend-
ency to hold the said power end portion of 80
the said lever elevated and away from the
carriage 11. A downwardly extending arm
39 is fixed to the lever 36 in the vicinity of
its fulcrum point and a pawl 40 is fixed to
the lower end of the arm 39. A finger 41 85
is pivoted to the lower end of the arm 39 and
carries 'a pawl 42 which may be adjusted
longitudinally with relation to the said
finger and secured in an adjusted position.
This adjustment and securing of the pawl 9o
42 is accomplished by means of a bolt and
slot connection indicated at 43 and which
is of the usual pattern. A screw 44 is
threaded through the intermediate portion
of the lever 36 and is adapted to engage the 95
intermediate portion of the carriage 11,
whereby the swinging movement of the said
lever may be limited, and by adjusting the
said screw in the lever the extent of the
swinging movement of the said lever may be 100
increased or diminished as desired. An arm
45 is also carried by the lever 36 and has a
free end portion disposed over the arm 25
and provided with a slot 46 which receives
the lower portion of the rod 26 and which is 105
located below the abutment 27 carried by
the said rod. A screw 47 is threaded
through the free end portion of the arm 45
and is adapted to engage the free end por-
tion of the arm 25 in a manner so that the 110
arm 25 will be depressed at the same time
that the arm 45 is so moved, but the arm 45
may have a certain amount of vertical move-
ment against the tension of the spring 28
independently of the vertical movement of 115
the free end portion of the arm 25. The
object of this will be explained hereinafter.
Upstanding brackets 48 are mounted at
the edges of the rear portion of the carriage
11 and shafts 49 and 50 are journaled in the 120
said brackets. The shaft 49 carries a rela-
tively large gear wheel 51 and the shaft 50
carries a relatively small gear wheel 52.
These gear wheels mesh one with the other.
A pulley 53 is fixed to the shaft 50. A shaft 125
54 is journaled for rotation over the rear
portion of the carriage 11 and approxi-
mately vertically over the rear rail 3 there-
of. This shaft is preferably non-circular in
transverse section. A sleeve 55 snugly re- 1302
