Filed: 1926-09-27
Abstract: 282,871. Fitzpatrick, H. D., (U.S. Slicing Machine Co.). Sept. 27, 1926. Cutting slices in succession.-In a slicing- machine, the slice receiver comprises, in combination, a horizontal slice-receiving member, a slice-retaining abutment extending partly around said member, means for oscillating said member and abutment in unison about an upright axis, and means remote from the axis for moving the member vertically within the abutment. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the stacker comprises a spider frame 16 which is oscillated on a. pin 15 carried by a bracket 13 by a rod 20 connecting the spider with the reciprocating table. The arcuate edge of the spider and the side edges are provided with upstanding abutment flanges 17, 18 leaving an open front space. The slice-receiving member or table 27 is supported on a bracket 26 secured to a sleeve 25 having a nut segment 30 operated by a handle 28 to be engageable with, or disengageable from, a screwed rod 24 journaled in a bearing 23 in one corner of the spider 15. This disposition of the bearing 23 leaves the front of the spider unobstructed so that wrapping paper may be placed on the table 27 which may be readily removed with the slices thereon. The table 27 is lowered intermittently by an intermittent rotation of the screw 24 which is effected by an arm 40 fixed to the spider, a link 38 pivoted thereto at 39 and to an arm 36, journaled on the spindle 24, at 37. A disc 34 is secured to the spindle and is engaged by a pivoted cam dog 41 carried by the arm 36, which is held in contact with the disc 34 by a spring 43. The spider, during the oscillation, thereby rotates the disc and screw spindle intermittently and the table 27 descends until the nut block 34 reaches a plain portion 33 of the spindle 24. The nut 34 is then disengaged and the table is raised by the sleeve 25 until the latter contacts with a stop 32. The slioe deflector 45 is horizontally ribbed, to diminish the friction of the slices, and is adjustably mounted on a post 46 carried by a bracket 47 on the chain-box of the machine.

[Class 36.] An insulator is formed with grooves for carrying wire, and with lugs on the face of the insulator which overlap the grooves to hold the wire in position. In the construction shown a groove or a number of connecting slots 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 encircle the lower part of an insulator 1, a slot 6 extending vertically. At the top of the insulator a notch 10 connects with the slots 6 thus forming a lug 11. The slot 6 is L-shaped and a portion of it forms a vertical lug 13. Formed parallel with the groove 4 is a lip piece 12. The slot 9 extends downwards to the slot 4. In attaching a wire to the insulator 1, it is slipped into the slot 5 over the lip 12 and pressed downwards into the slot 4. A right-angle turn is made so that the wire lies in the slot 9. Another rightangle turn is made to bring the wire into the slot 8, the wire being then set in the slots 7, 5 and brought across the slot 5 to be bent upwardly in the slot 6. The wire is then brought straight upward behind the lip 13 in the slot 6 and outward without bending as shown in Fig. 5. In an insulator of the bracket type the wire extends diagonally from the slot 5 through the slot 6 behind the lower part of the lip 13 and then through the notch 10 and outward as shown in Fig. 6. The slots of V-shape. In a modified construction to hold twisted pairs of wires as shown in Figs. 9 and 10, an S-shaped groove is formed on opposite sides of an insulator and comprises slots 31, 32, 33 separated by lugs 27 .. 30. Lugs 23 .. 26 are formed in pairs on the top and bottom of the insulator respectively. Opposite the lugs 23, 24 are lugs 35, 36 to hold the wire in its groove, similar lugs being formed on the bottom of the insulator. The wires of the pair are separated for a short length, a portion of one of the wires being laid in the slot 31 behind the lug 25 and carried into a notch in the lug 28, then through the slot 32, into a notch in the lug 27, into the slot 33 and around the lug 24. The other wire of the pair follows a similar path on the opposite side of the insulator.
