Granted: 1898-03-26
Abstract: 1694. Lockwood, E. M. Jan. 21. Matches. - Relates to machines for cutting match splints from a block, inserting the splints in travelling chains, and feeding them forwards by means of rotary mechanism to the dipping, drying, and packing mechanisms. The knives 25, of ordinary form, are secured to the knife-bar 73, Fig. 26, fixed to a knife plate 74 which is fitted within guides 76 supported by the bed-plate 77. The plate 74, Fig. 1, is connected to a crank 6 on the main shaft 5, by means of ball-and-socket joints 81, 90, and a rod 93 of adjustable length. The bed-plate is moved a short distance from side to side after every cut, so as to allow the knives to cut the block in different positions, by means of cams and pivoted cam rods 99 connected by rods of adjustable length to the bed-plate, which is free to slide upon rods 95, Fig. 6. The blocks 23, Fig. 6, pass along inclined channels formed by diagonally-arranged ribs on plates 3, 4, and are fed forwards to the knives by feedrollers 28. The plate 3 is secured adjustably to the plate 4 by bolts which are free to rotate within the plate 4 without longitudinal movement. The feed-rollers are intermittently rotated by means of a pawl and ratchet mechanism 49 connected by toothed gearing 57, 66, and 61 to bevel-wheels on the roller shafts, and driven by means of a cam projection 41 on a wheel 40 which is carried by a short shaft 15. An inclined shaft 9, driven from the main shaft 5, carries a bevel-wheel 13, gearing with a bevel-wheel 14 on the shaft 15. The splints 140 are carried to the dipping and drying apparatus by endless carriers 110, comprising endless metallic chains supported by wheels 112 and carrying pairs of slotted bars 115 which are forced together by springs. Worms 118, secured to shafts 119, rotated by means of gearing 120, 121 and an inclined shaft 9, engage with the pairs of bars 115. The worms have a uniform pitch, but during about one-half of their rotation the feed of the carriers is counteracted by the action of oscillating arms 125 which carry studs 124 engaging with circumferential grooves formed in collars 122 which are fixed to the shafts 119 ; during the remainder of the rotation the feed is accelerated by the action of the arms 125. The ends of the bars 115 are bevelled in such a way as to conform to the bearing-surfaces of the worms.
