Abstract: 3290. Tunes, M. F. Feb. 10. Copying and carving. - In a carving and copying machine, a rotating cutter and tracer are mounted in carriages sliding on a frame pivoted to a fixed spindle, the cutter and tracer being capable of angular, radial, and vertical displacements relatively to the fixed spindle, the tracer taking the form of the solid of revolution generated by the cutter. The cutter 22 and tracer 25 are carried by spindles 17, 18 mounted in bearings on carriages b, b<1> sliding on ball bearings between bars 7, 8 of the frame B pivoted on the spindle 3. To communicate vertical motion from tracer to cutter, the spindles 17, 18 are connected by links 32 to counterbalanced levers 30 pivoted at 31 to the carriages b, b<1> and provided with rollers 50, 51 running on bars 40, 41 of frames E, E' pivoted in brackets 44, 45 on the frame B. The adjacent ends of the frames E, E' are geared together as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, according as a true or inverted copy is required; the scale of reproduction is varied by altering the radii of the toothed sectors. Radial motion is communicated from tracer to cutter by adjustable connecting-rods 72, 73, connecting the spindles 17, 18 to slides 76, 76' fixed on the lever C pivoted on the spindle 3. The scale of reproduction is varied by adjusting the position of the slides 76, 76<1> on the arms of the lever C. The cutter spindle 17 is rotated by a pulley 90 driven from a double pulley 92, 102 on a shaft 93 carried by arms D pivoted on the spindle 3, the pulley 102 being rotated by a power-driven pulley 100 on the spindle 3. The arms D are counterbalanced by a weight 98 adjustable on the arm 96. The model m and work n are supported on tables 110 pivoted at 113 to supports 115 on carriages F movable on rails 112 by screws 127 and hand-wheels 128. The tables are adjusted vertically by screws 119 operated by hand-wheels 120 through bevel-gearing 123, 123', and in inclination by means of graduated arcs 125. In some cases, the work and model rest on supports H pivoted at 134 to the tables 110 and held by gripping-bolts 130, as shown in Fig. 10. When the model is carved on all its faces, as shown in Fig. 11, the work and model are held between stocks 135, 136 on the worktables 110. The stocks 135 are provided with pointed spindles 137, and the stocks 136 with clamp spindles 139 and. graduated slotted disks 140, so that the positions of the model and the work may be made to correspond by bringing marks on the disks 140 opposite reference lines 144 on the lugs 145, and then clamping in position by means of the bolt 142.

Abstract: 26,141. Lake, H. W., [Healy, W.]. Nov. 22. Stapling.-A box-blank stapling- machine, in which the stapling and the feeding devices are of the ordinary type, is provided with means for automatically spacing apart successive cleats. Spacing-blocks N, Fig. 5, which are adapted to be moved between successive cleats, slide in carriers m<2>, Fig. 4, which themselves can slide in the direction of movement of the cleats. The blocks are pressed in between successive cleats by a spring p<2>, which tends to move laterally a shaft 0, which is connected to the one block by a straight slotted link o<3>, and to the other by a slotted link o<4> and a lever o'. The shaft O is moved in the other direction to withdraw the blocks by a lever p<1> operated by a cam P on the driving- shaft. Each block moves into position between two cleats, travels with the cleats until they are wired together, and then moves laterally to be clear of the cleats for its return. The blocks are returned by a rocking motion of the shaft 0, which has splined to it collars o connected by links o<2> to the block-carriers m<2>. The rocking motion is produced by a cam Q on the driving-shaft, which is adapted, when the shaft O has been moved so that the blocks N are clear of the cleats, to engage a cam roll on a link q<1> connected to a lug q<2> on a collar splined to the shaft O. A spring tends to draw the link q<1> downwards, and thus to move the blocks forward with the cleats when the cam Q goes out of action, but the blocks are held in the starting position by automatic catches until they are moved laterally. To produce a wide space between the end of one blank and the beginning of the next, a treadle h<3> is depressed, thus stopping the wire feed for the stapling-mechanism and also lifting the lever p<1> so that it is clear of the cam P. The blocks are then caused by the spring p<2> to enter between the cleats, and they travel with the cleats until the carriers reach the ends of the slots in the links o<3>, o<4>. The blocks remain in this position, holding back the succeeding cleats, until the lever h<3> is lowered, when the cam P is brought into operative position again. Specification 5703/11 is referred to.
