Abstract: 427,180. Leather-working machines. TURNER TANNING MACHINERY CO., Ltd., and SCHETTLER, G. A., Bramley, near Leeds. Oct. 14, 1933, No. 28466. [Class 76] In a machine of the type in which the work is passed between a rotating tool and a worksupporting member (e.g. a roller), one of which members is carried by a mounting and adapted for movement towards the other and is held under regulated spring pressure during the operation, and in which adjustable stops are provided for limiting movement of the mounting against the spring action, means are provided for adjusting the mounting relatively to the stops so that it may be capable of predetermined limited movement in relation to the stops whereby when in operation on a piece of work of varying thicknesses the member carried by the mounting will be forced back and held rigid in the position determined by the stops so as to remove parts of the work beyond the limiting thickness and also will be automatically moved forward to clean thinner parts of the work. In the machine shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the rocking carrier 3 in which the end roll 4 is mounted is provided with screws 5 adjustable by worm-gearing 6, 7 and a hand-wheel operated shaft 8 to bear against stops 11 on the machine frame and so determine the thickness to which a piece of work is to be reduced. The treadleoperated device for moving the carrier up to the stops comprises a toggle device, one link 17 of which is pivotally and adjustably connected to the carrier 3, the other link 20 being pivoted to a link 22 and to a rod 25, slidable through a fixed guide 26 under the control of a spring 16. The treadle lever 29, 30 acts on the toggle through a roller 31 engaging an incline 32. The strength of the spring 16 is sufficient to ensure the reduction of any work to the required thickness according to the setting of the stops. In order to provide for the cleaning of thin parts of work of uneven thickness an auxiliary spring-mounting for the roll is provided comprising arms 35 pivoted at 36 and bearing on compression springs 38 which tend to urge the roller towards the tool 10. The arms 35 may be locked to the carrier 3, so as to put the springs 38 out of action, by means of cams 42 mounted on a shaft 41 pivoted in links 40 depending from the arms 35 and adapted to be rotated by a hand lever 45 so as to bear against stop screws 44 mounted in the carrier 3. In modifications, the arms 35 may be loaded by weights or hydraulically. The spindle of the bed roll is preferably carried in radial bearings to allow adjustment of the roll to slight inequalities of the work. The machine is provided with a metal guard plate 71 and a wooden table 73 which is mounted on brackets 74 carried by the carrier 3.
