Abstract: 6083. Collet, A. March 11, 1910, [Convention date]. Planing etc.; tools.-A portable machine for grooving railway sleepers comprises a truck A mounted on wheels B, two movable carriages P which are slidable on bars w on opposite sides of the truck and carry the grooving-tools G rotated by electric or other motors H, and sleeper supports consisting of two cast-iron pieces e pivoted centrally in brackets o on the truck and carrying four dovetail guides in which slide jaws g operated through bevel and screw gearing by hand-wheels D. The axles n of the cast-iron pieces e are connected by sleeves p and rods q. The sleeper supports, are intermittently rotated through 180 degrees by means of hand-tubes m, the sleeper between the right-hand pair of jaws being grooved and then removed while a fresh sleeper is being inserted between the left-band pair. As the sleepers approach the cutting position, they engage spring- retained levers u, and on reaching the cutting position, spring locking-bolts r on the supports slip into staples or boxes s on the truck. The carriages P are reciprocated on the bars w to effect the grooving-operation by means of screws x rotated by crank-handles y which may be simultaneously or independently operated. The distance between the bars w can be adjusted, to vary the distance between the cutters, by screws L. The axle-bearers a of the wheels B can rotate through 90 degrees in bearings b on the truck A so as to allow the truck to be moved from one track to a parallel track along a track perpendicular to both. The axlebearers are held in their end positions by spring bolts d, and the wheels can be blocked by means of shoes N operated by hand-wheels O. In order to adapt the machine for cutting inclined grooves, as is necessary for Vignole rails, the carriage P may be carried on eccentric rings S having hexagonal heads which are turned to give the required inclination to the cutter. The cutting tools may be flat with a single cutting-edge, or tubular with cutting- edges at both ends. The tools are bolted to arms on bosses rotated by the motor shafts. Fig. 14 shows a combination tool for Vignole sleepers consisting of two flat cutters J and two tubular cutters K mounted at different distances from the centre of the driving-shaft. The machine may be rendered suitable for various widths of track by replacing the cross-bars A<1> of the truck and tie-bars q with shorter or longer bars as required.
