Abstract: 13,158. Robinson, O. June 4. Cutting and slicing meat and the like.-In a machine for slicing bacon &c., the table is reciprocated in a path which, at that part where cutting takes place, curves away from the knife so that friction between the uncut bacon and the knife is prevented. The bacon rests on the slide i and the spiked rollers j of a table d, which runs on rollers c and is guided by rollers h in engagement with a guide f, g. The guide is straight as far as the knife b but then curves away as shown. The knife is rotated from a fly-wheel t<1> through gearing t, u, u<1>, v, v<1> and chain-gearing w, w<1>. The table is reciprocated by a rod x<1> connected to a crank x mounted on the shaft u<2> of the gear-wheel u<1>. The feed is effected by the engagement of a nut s on a lever s', pivoted to the slide i, with a screw n mounted on the table d and intermittently rotated by a freewheel clutch p. The clutch is operated on the back-stroke of the table by a pin q on the outer ring of the clutch and a stop q<1>; it is returned by a spring p<1>. The extent of the feed, and therefore the thickness of the slice cut, is altered by changing the position of the stop q<1>, which, for this purpose, is mounted on a lever r adapted to be locked in different positions. The clamp may be of any kind. That shown comprises notched uprights, and a reversible arm fulcrumed at any part of one upright by a toothed segment and locked in place by a notched and spring-held lever.

Granted: 1912-05-06
Abstract: 10,935. Baret, F. May 13, 1910, [Convention date]. Combing-machines.-The slivers drawn from cans are passed through a feed device E, Fig. 1, to a pair of grippers C, D which hold it while it is combed by an upwardly - moving semicircular or fan-shaped comb A. The grippers and feed-device then move forward for the tuft to be combed by a similar comb moving in the opposite direction, and finally present the tuft to a drawing-off device comprising a grip-jaw G acting in conjunction with an intermittently rotated roller H carrying an endless band. The tuft is gripped in the drawing-off device, and the feed-device and open gripper retire. Pricking-combs L<1>, L<2>, L<3>, L<4> carried with them are now inserted in the fibre and comb it as they retire. The pricking-comb L' carries a spiked plate M which enters the sliver and holds the short fibres not held by the feed device E during the drawing-off. A thin plate F is supported below the feed-device and projected before the completion of the forward movement of the feed-device to straighten the tuft of fibre and feed it to the roller H of the drawing - off mechanism. An arm carried by the comb A severs the sliver while it is held between the combs L<1> ... L<4> and the drawing-off device. The combs A, B in their rotation are cleaned by brushes N<1>, N<2>, Fig. 9, the latter of which oscillates to contact with the comb B, and which are doffed by card covered rollers P<1>, P<2>. The combs A, B also carry brushes to clean the pricking-combs. One of the combs may be dispensed with if the sliver contains only a small amount of impurities. The combs may have a rectilinear up - and - down movement and may have teeth on both sides to comb the sliver held by the gripper and that held by the drawing-off device at the same time. The feed-device E, plate F, grippers C, D, and combs L<1> ... L<4> are carried by a frame 1, Fig. 11, mounted on pivoted supports 3 and reciprocated by cams engaging bowls 6 on the connecting-bar 4. The various relative movements of the parts mounted on the frame 1 are obtained from cams on the main shaft h acting through links and bellcrank levers. The combs A, B are driven through spur and bevel gearing from the shaft h. A shaft W is operated through spur gearing 31, 32, 33 from the shaft h, and carries a cam 43 operating a ratchet-device, which imparts intermittent rotation to a drum T. This drum drives frictionally the band which passes round the drawing-off roller H. The fibres are pressed as they pass between the drum and the band. The grip-jaw G of the drawing-off device is operated through spring-controlled levers 48 by cams 50 on the shaft W. The brushes N<1>, N<2> and doffing-rollers P<1>, P<2> also receive their motion from the shaft h,.
