Inventor: SHARROCK CHARLES WILLIAM
IPC: B27H5/10
Filed: 1910-07-06
Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 16,180. Sharrock, C. W. July 6. Machines for trussing casks are provided with hoop - holders made up of two semicircular halves, each of which consists of two series of segments F, G, Fig. 1, capable of sliding radially and retained in their normal positions by springs. The independent segments G have inclined surfaces g and are held by a rod J of spring-metal, the ends of which are acted on by springs. The extent of movement of these segments with respect to the segments F is limited by ribs H and grooves h<Î>, so that the edges of the staves cannot come in contact with the hoop E<1>. The segments F, which have shoulders f for holding the hoops, are shaped as shown in Fig. 10 and are hinged together by pins L. The ends of the series are acted on by springs N, Fig. 5, and springs O may also be provided to act on each joint. When the hoop is in the desired position on the staves, the segments F may be caused to move radially outwards to free the hoop by operating a lever R to move a chain Q, so as to cause wedges q carried by the chain to contact with lugs p on the segments. In the event of one or more of the segments F being moved outwards prematurely, the hoop is retained in position by spring-pressed bolts S, Fig. 3.
