Title: Improved Apparatus for Cutting Boards to be Employed for Box Making and the like.
Inventor: KING ALFRED STEPHEN
Filed: 1905-03-31
Granted: 1906-03-22
Abstract: 6807. King, A. S. March 31. Sawing.-Relates to improvements on the machines described in Specifications No. 6562, A.D. 1901, and No. 9103, A.D. 1902. A circular sawing- machine for sawing boards for box-making has a quickly adjustable work-gripping device combined with a back-pusher for feeding the work past the saw, a conveyer belt at the back of the saw to receive the cut boards and carry them away, and a hand-pressure roller frame for applying roller pressure to any part of the work. A table 2 is secured to a bench 1, and is recessed along its upper face at 3 from end to end to form slide-ways for slides 4, 5. These slides carry pillars 6, 7 and are connected together by a rod 8 fixed to the slide 5 and passing through a split eye-bolt 9 which secures it to the slide 4. The wood to be sawn is held between the pillars 6, 7, and a handpressure roller frame 10, carrying a roller 11, a handle 13, and a rod 14 passing through an eye 15 on the slide 4, allows pressure to be put upon any point of the wood. A fence 16 has two L-grooves 26, extending its full length, partially filled by bars 16<a> which are strengthened at their rear ends by bars 16. These bars are slightly curved away from the saw, where they project in front of the fence to allow boards to fall freely away. A guard 50 is fitted above the saw and a spring piece 51 is bolted to the fence to assist in holding the boards up to the saw. A filling-piece 18 is placed between the fence 16 and the table 2. A chain 19 passes over a wheel 20 keyed to a shaft 21, over a guide-pulley 22, and under an eccentric 23 governed by a handle 24 mounted on the slide 5. When the handle 24 is turned, the eccentric engages the chain, the wood is carried past the saw 17, and the board cut falls upon and is removed by a conveyer belt 31 which passes over a driving-pulley 32, a small roller 33, and a guidepulley 46. The slides are then brought back to their initial positions by springs 36 connected to a chain 34. A steel back-pusher 25 with a notched edge is bolted in an inclined or upright position to two bars 26<a> sliding in the L-grooves 26 in the fence 16, and their rear ends are connected together by an arm 27 which is connected to the slide 5 by a pivoted link 28. To prevent the slides 4, 5 from being carried beyond the saw, a buffer stop 37 is secured to the slide 5 and engages a pivoted arm 38, which draws by levers a clutch 40 out of gear. Part of the clutch is formed with wheel 41 which drives by a chain 42 the shaft 21. The rear pillar may be dispensed with and the back-pusher alone used to carry the block past the saw.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Covering Boxes and other Articles with Paper or Fabrics.
Inventor: SPENCER ALFRED THORN
Filed: 1906-07-13
Granted: 1907-06-20
Abstract: 15,878. Spencer, A. T., and Wykes, E. C. July 13: Compound fabrics.-Cardboard and like boxes and other articles, such as cardboard or other sheets, are covered with paper or fabrics by the machine shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The box 11 is placed on an adjustable table 3 between adjustable guides 12, and is moved along by a rod 14 supported between two sprocket chains 15. As it passes under the paper-feed rollers 9, 10, its front end moves a tappet 24 on a rod 25 having at its outer end a finger 26, which causes a lever 39 to complete an electric circuit at the contact 40. An electro -magnet 41 then lifts the pivoted detent 38, allowing the spring 36 to move the lever 27 to put the clutch 29 in gear so as to rotate the roller 9. At the same time the contact 43 is broken by the cord 44 to prevent wastage of the battery. The paper 4, which has been coated with adhesive by the roller 7, is fed forwards and laid on the box by the brush 32 rotating in the direction of the arrow a. When the box 11 has passed under the roller 9, the clutch 29 is disconnected by the cam 45 acting on the lever 27 and the paper feed is stopped, so that the length of covering-strip fed is the same as that of the box. The sprocket chains 15 are then temporarily brought to rest for the cutting operation to take place. The driving-wheel of the chain 19 is mounted loosely on the shaft 20, and has connected to it a sprocket-wheel 47 rotated by a pin 48 projecting from a carrier 49. The opposite end of the pin moves round a cam 50, and while passing across the recess 51 the pin is withdrawn from engagement with the sprocket-wheel 47. While the sprocket chains 15 are at rest, a cam on the shaft 20 allows the cutter 53 to sever the strip 4 between itself and the fixed cutter 52. The lower feed-roller 9 has circumferential grooves, in each of which is located one end of a pivoted knife-edged blade 67. The blades 67 guide the paper to the cutting- mechanism, and are raised by a cam 70 after the cutting has been performed to lift the free end of the strip from the blade 52. When the strip is severed, the brush 32 reverses its motion, and moves in the direction of the arrow b, to stroke the paper towards the rear end of the box. The motions of the brush are obtained by means of clutches 60, 61 thrown into action at alternate times by cams on the shaft 20.

Abstract: 17,308. Baker, F., and Baker Gear Co. Aug. 1. Worm gearing; levers.-Relates to the controlling-mechanism of self-propelled vehicles, and comprises improvements in the mounting of the worm and worm-wheel steering-gear, and the arrangement on the steering-wheel of a control lever having two distinct motions. The steering handwheel 27 is fast on the tubular steering-post 5, which carries at its lower end a worm 3 gearing with a worm-wheel 4 fast on a crank 28 connected to the steering-wheels. The worm and wheel are enclosed in a sectional gear case, the upper part 2 carry - ing the worm and the lower part 1 the worm-wheel, so that adjustment of the sections by the screw 8 compensates for the wear of the gearing. Within the steering-post is a fixed tubular standard 12 adjustably connected at its lower end to the casing 1, and carrying an horizontal flange 18 which supports on ball bearings the worm 3 and allows the same to be adjusted vertically for wear. The upper end of the fixed standard 12 is extended through a bushing 32 on the steering-post and is threaded to receive a cap 30 and lock-nut 31. Within the fixed standard is a rod 34 pivoted to a hand-lever 35, which can be moved in a vertical plane to operate the link 52, or can be rotated in an horizontal plane to operate the link 41 carried on a feather key. These links may be arranged to control the gas feed or the sparking in the case of vehicles propelled by gas-engines, the steamsupply valves of steam-propelled vehicles, or the controller of electrically-propelled vehicles. The hand-lever 35 is set against accidental vertical movement by a spring-pressed pawl 46 engaging a fixed toothed sector and released by a push-button 49. Accidental horizontal movement is prevented by a spring pawl 39 engaging rounded notches in the cap 30. The steering-post is enclosed in a tubular casing 22, split longitudinally at its lower end and clamped by bolts 25 to the gear casing 2.
