Granted: 1899-05-27
Abstract: 4999. Wood, A. A. March 7. Saws, sharpening; filing-machines.-Relates to an appliance for deepening (or " gumming") and sharpening the teeth of the saws of cotton gins. The frame D is bifurcated to fit over the saw A. The disc file F, which operates in the spaces between the teeth, is mounted in a swinging frame I fulcrumed at H, and is rotated through bevel gear g, h by the crank handle Z. On the crank axis H is an eccentric 0 which through its rod Q lifts the outer end of the feed-lever M fulcrumed to the lower end of a link N jointed to the swinging frame I. Since the inner end of the lever M is in gear with the saw teeth, the first effect of the movement is to lift the file F, and a retaining-pawl k connected to it. out of gear ; then the link N comes in contact with the frame D through the link S, and the further movement of the eccentric feeds the saw on one tooth and again lowers the file and the retaining-pawl-into gear. The feed may be stopped for any desired number of revolutions by disengaging the rod Q from the lever M. To prevent injury to the teeth when the file F is raised, it receives a slight longitudinal displacement on its axis, by the action of the retaining-pawl which is pivoted to M at q, and in connection with an arm projecting downward from the axis of the file.
