Title: Improvements in Machinery for Jointing Staves for Casks or the like.
Inventor: DUNBAR ALEXANDER
Filed: 1902-04-11
Granted: 1903-04-11
Abstract: 8424. Dunbar, A. April 11. Wood casks, making. In jointing staves for casks or the like, apparatus such as that shown in Figs. 3 and 4 is used. The staves are fed from one end of the apparatus into position over supporting-bars 67 and between spring or weighted feelers 53, 54, by means of a pusher bar 145 having spring pawls, by which a finished stave is pushed off the apparatus while a fresh one is fed. The bars 67, which are adapted to be moved apart, are carried on a traversing frame, by which the stave is moved between the cutters, the stave being clamped to the levers 67 by toggle levers &c., and also being pressed down by a roller at the part where the cutters operate. The stave is centered by two pairs of arms, which are suitably guided and adjusted. The special function of the apparatus is to joint the staves at angles varying with the different widths. To effect this, the feelers are pivoted on sliding blocks 48, 49, which are connected by rods 46, 47 with blocks 44, 45, adjustable on the arms of a lever 42, another arm of which is connected by a rod 41 with an arm 40 on a rock-shaft 39. One of the arms of the lever 42 has an extension 61 provided with a nut 62, in which engages the screw-shaft 63, by turning which the feelers are brought into position. Two pairs of cutters are preferably used, a pair operating on each half of the stave. The cutters are mounted on carriers 18,19, 20, 21 having rollers 25, 26, 27, 28, which move on cam-guides on the top edge of boards 22, 23, to lift and lower the cutters accord ing to the nature of the joint. The cutter carriers are connected at the top by rods 33, 34, 36, 37, which are connected, as shown, with arms 35, 38 on the shaft 39, and thus, through the connection previously described, the upper ends of the carriers will be moved towards or apart from one another by the movement of the feelers, which depends on the size of the stave. The cutters 6 are pressed towards the work by a weighted arm 93, which is connected with arms 88 mounted loosely on a shaft 89 and connected by rods 86, 87 with the lower ends of the carriers 18, 19. The other pair of cutters are similarly connected and actuated. The carriers 18, 20 are connected by links 95, 96 with sliding blocks 98, 99 having rollers 104, 105, which move on the templet 75. The templet is preferably in two parts hinged or pivoted to a central block 77 and to two end blocks (not shown), which are adapted to slide on inclines 80, so as to bring the top or lower surfaces of the templet, according to the size of stave, before the rollers 104, 105, the blocks being actuated by the lever 12 and rockshaft 55 through connections 83,84. The weighted arm 93, and the corresponding armof the other cutters, and the clamping-devices are automatically lifted or released, to permit the withdrawal of the stave. While the arrangement described is that which is considered preferable, various changes may be effected in the position and construction of the templet and other parts.

Title: Improvements in Brick Presses.
Inventor: REYNOLDS CHARLES WRIGHT
Filed: 1902-05-20
Granted: 1902-08-21
Abstract: 11,497. Reynolds, C. W. May 20. Moulding bricks, asphalt blocks, &c.-Asphalt or other plasticmaterial is fed by a hopper 14 to moulds in a table I, which is rotated on a sleeve on a central bolt M by a pinion on the main driving- shaft B gearing with a crown-wheel L under the table. The material in the moulds is pressed against a fixed press-head O by lower plungers actuated by a cam block fitted with rollers and mounted to slide in horizontal and vertical guides. The plungers are arranged to slide on ribs W in the moulds to an extent limited by lower shoulders or stops, and are raised to eject the blocks from the moulds by a plunger operated by a cam driven from the crown-wheel by a pinion. The blocks are pushed off the plunger on to the mould table, or an endless carrier band, by a push-plate 2 reciprocated by a slotted lever 6 rocked by a cord and weight and a tappet or cam on a shaft 10 driven from the main shaft by spur gearing. To prevent damage to the machine through the entrance of stones to the moulds, the press-head 0 is connected by bolts Q, M to a plate p which is forced downwards by springs. To avoid the scraping away of the upper surface of the brick by the press-head as the mould moves over the pressing-cam, a segmental bearing-plate is pivoted on the bolt M within the head, and moves with the mould against the force of a spring q on a rod P until the plunger is clear of the cam. The spring q then returns the bearing-plate to its original position. Rollers are interposed between the bearing-plate and press-head to reduce friction. A plate fixed under the table I supports the plungers as they pass from the pressing-cam to the ejecting-cam.
