Abstract: 6604. Miles, R. March 18. Planing and moulding.-Relates to apparatus for use in connexion with a planing or moulding machine so that a piece of wood inserted in the machine may be brought out in two pieces planed, moulded, or matched on all four sides, or two pieces of wood inserted in the machine, side by side, may be similarly treated, without it being necessary to pass the pieces of wood through a second machine for planing their fourth sides. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the wood, on leaving the planing machine, is, if in one piece, divided or split into two by a saw or knife, and a central fence 3 then directs the two pieces along separate paths 1, 2. The path 1 is fixed to slides 5, 6 movable in the framing 7 and the path 2 is hinged to the slide 5 and rests on the path 6, one of the paths being upwardly inclined and the other downwardly. The central fence is preferably formed in one with the lower path, the upper path being secured to it by screws, but if found convenient the fence and both paths may be formed in one piece. The pieces of wood pass under pressure rollers 9 and are maintained by springs 8 against adjustable fences 4 on the outer sides of the paths, while they are cut on their fourth side by cutters 10, 11 mounted on a frame 12 secured to the slide 6. After leaving the cutters, the pieces of wood may be pressed by springs against adjustable fences 14, 15 which may carry plane irons 16 for giving a finishing cut. In one modification, one path is horizontal and the other inclined upwards or downwards; and in another, one piece of wood travels on the top of one path, and the second at the bottom of the other path.
