Abstract: 25,421. Vernet, A. Nov. 27, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Shearing.-In a machine particularly adapted for cutting girders of U and other sections, a pair of pivoted blades is first caused to descend vertically so as to shear the web, and after the completion of the vertical motion the blades are rotated outwards to shear the flanges, the whole motion being produced by cam gearing. The girder is supported by three pairs of fixed blades 1, 2, 3, Fig. 1, while the moving blades 6 are pivoted to a. slide block 22, which in the position shown is at the bottom of its vertical traverse, having been moved by a cam 10, Fig. 2. This cam holds down the block 22, while cam-surfaces 14 now come into action and open the blades 6, the thrust of the rollers 15 being balanced by rollers 16. After the shearing action, a cam 17 acting upon rollers 18 causes the ascent of the block 22, and in this motion the blades 6 are closed by the action of fixed cam-surfaces 20. Fig. 8 shows a modified construction in which the blades 6 are eccentrically mounted in order to suit girders of different widths.
