A method of holding a wooden workpiece 10 by clamping means 14 on the table 18 of a veneer slicing machine with a surface 12 facing the table comprises moving a layer 16 of wood or wood-like material which is secured on said surface solely by bonding with a bonding force which at least corresponds to the interior strength of the workpiece, the material being of a thickness such that the workpiece can be clamped to the table by the clamping means engaging only the sides of the layer of material. The workpiece with its bonded layer of material 16 is initially held on the table 18 and against a board 26 adjacent a rail 24 by the clamping means 14, which may be pneumatically or hydraulically operated, engaging a part of the workpiece, as shown, by the foremost clamping means 14, while veneers are sliced from the workpiece by reciprocation of a knife 36 by a driving mechanism having a flywheel and crank, the table being raised by hydraulic or pneumatic means to feed the workpiece vertically relative to the knife. When the clamping means approaches the knife, the machine is stopped and the clamping means are disengaged from the workpiece and engaged with the layer 16, as shown, by the rearmost clamping means 14, to permit the knife to peel veneers from the workpiece down to the layer of bonding. If the workpiece has a bad centre and is split longitudinally into two pieces, each piece may be bonded to the layer of material and the clamping means engaged only with the layer during the cutting of the veneers. The veneer cutting machine may have a stationary knife and the workpiece is mounted on a vertically reciprocating table. Before slicing, the workpiece is steamtreated or soaked for 48 hours at 200‹ F. and its broadest surface planed. The surface is then dried by hot air, infra-red or high-frequency means, or chemically using a volatile substance. A neoprene, casein, epoxy, polyester, urea-formaldehyde or resinous glue having a strength equal to or greater than the workpiece is applied to the layer of material 16 and the warm workpiece which are then pressed together at a pressure of 10-15 kg. per cm.<SP>2</SP> The slicing of the veneers is then effected with the workpiece cold or warm. The workpiece may be in the form of a stack of veneers, the layer of material being bonded to one longitudinal edge and the slicing being effected transversely to the layers.

Title: Rapid-action automatic sampling apparatus
IPC: G01N35/10
Filed: 1976-02-23
Abstract: 1515213 Sampling liquids LABOR MUSZERIPARI MUVEK 23 Feb 1976 [7 March 1975] 07014/76 Heading G1B In the Figure, 10 and 11 are a sample-containing vessel and a washing vessel. A sampling probe 7, which is alternately dipped into vessels 10, 11, is secured to one end of probe carrier arm 13. The end of arm 13 remote from probe 7 is secured at right angles to the end of a lifting rod 12 mounted for rotation about its own axis and for movement along its axis, as is indicated by arrows. A lifting hub 6 is arranged on rod 12. The connection between the hub 6 and rod 12 is such that the rod moves with the hub 6 vertically, but at the same time it can rotate relative to the hub 6. The probe receives the drive for its displacement from a non- illustrated motor by way of a worm 1 and worm wheel 9 pivotally connected with one end of a swivel arm 5 with which it forms a crank mechanism. The other end of the swivel arm is articulated to the hub 6. A spring 5a is inserted into the swivel arm so that its length may resiliently vary. A turning fork 3 is fixed on rod 12, while a turning pin 2 is fixed to the crank mechanism, so that in an appropriate position pin 2 and fork 3 can mesh or engage each other. To guide the fork 3, an inverted U-shaped groove 4 is formed on the journal or mounting of rod 12. Two limit switches 14 defining end positions are located in the path of movement of the crank mechanism. So that the sampling probe is immersed to the same depth every time in the sample-containing vessel, the hub 6 moving vertically with rod 12 is provided with a lug that moves in a recess or groove 8 formed in the mounting or frame of rod 12. When the motor is started up worm 1 is rotated to rotate the worm wheel 9 in a counter-clockwise direction, and wheel 9 lifts, via the swivel arm 5, the hub 6 and the lifting rod 12. Near the uppermost position of rod 12 the pin 2 of the crank mechanism engages in the fork 3 fixed on the lifting rod. As the pin 2 rotates further, the fork 3 is rotated to its other position. Thereafter the crank mechanism will move downwardly, pulling hub 6 and rod 12 down. The fork 3 moves downwardly in limb A of the inverted U-shaped guiding groove 4. When the lowermost position of rod 12 probe 7 has been reached, the crank mechanism actuates the left-hand limit switch 14 to stop the entire movement.
