PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Machine for Cutting and Moulding Wood.
Mr. JOSEPH CURSON Tankerville Street West Hartlepool Joiner do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The spindle of the machine is made with a screw on one end on which a block to
hold cutters can be attached and to work to any angle from a horizontal to a
perpenticular position.
The carriage on which the spindle is fixed is made with bearings at each end and
open in the centre so as to receive a driving pully fixd on spindle.
This carriage to have projecting pins or pivots on each side; these are inserted
into two uprights fixed to an ordinary bench, so as to allow the screw end of
spindle to work beyond the bench.
The other end of carriage rests on frame work fixed to the same bench, from this
point to the other end of bench a quadrant bar is fixed so as to guide this end of
carriage to any angle required and is held in position by a screw.
At the working end of the bench and immediately underneath the cutters, a rise
& fall table is fixed with a sliding fence on top of it, and a slot is made in this table
through which a perpenticular spindle is passed and will revolve & slide backward
and foreward in the slot by means of screw, spring or eccentric. This spindle is
fixed on slides to the frame work of the rise and fall table and it revolves in oppo-
sition to the cutters. On the top of this perpenticular spindle another table is fixed.
This table works above the rise & fall table and will have holes inserted so as to
fasten material for manufacturing. This table is so arranged as to bring the material
into contact with the cutters and which are fixed on the screw end of the main
spindle.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Machine for Cutting and Moulding Wood.
JOSEPH CURSON Tankerville Street W. Hartlepool Joiner do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The spindle of the machine is made with a screw on one end on which a block to
hold cutters can be attached, A (Fig. 2).
The carriage B. (Fig. 2) on which the spindle rests is made in three thicknesses
and by means of a screw C. C. (Fig. 1) and hand wheel D. (Fig. 1) one slides over
the other; so as to bring the cutters into contact with the material for operation.
The bottom slide or base plate E. (Fig. 1) is hung by projecting pins F. (Fig. 1).
These are inserted in two upright frames G. G. (Fig. 1) fixed to an ordinary bench,
with cross bar H. (Fig. 2) to receive the other end. Upon one of these uprights
there is a quadrant bar I (Fig. 1) fixed to guide the bottom or base plate to any
angle from horizontal to perpendicular position and is fasten by a screw J. (Fig. 1)
at any given point over the radus of qu'drant K. K. (Fig. 2) and on the opposite
side of base plate E (Fig. 1) a sloted stay L (Fig. 1) is fixed to the under side so as
to guide and fasten this end.
At the end of the ordinary bench and immediately underneath the cutters a rise
and fall table M. M. (Fig. 1) & M (Fig. 2) is fixed and is worked by screw motion

page_text: and hand wheel, N. N. (Fig. 1). In the top of this table slot, O, (Fig. 1) is made
to receive the extension slide P. (Fig. 2) which can be drawn outward so as to
extend the work beyond the table M. (Fig. 2) or M. M. (Fig. 1). The slide is
extended for manufacturing large circular and oval frames. Then the material for
operation is fixed to a face plate or templet the size of frame required. Then the
templet is screwed to the slide.
On the inner edge of face plate and under the cutters a stop U (Fig. 2) or fence
is fixed to the table this is to guide the face plate; and underneath the table a
spring is fixed and is attached to the slide, hence with the assistance of spring and
stop combined, the material is thus regulated for manufacturing oval frames etc.
Underneath the rise and fall table M. M. (Fig. 1) or M (Fig. 2) there is a
perpendicular spindle Q. (Fig. 1) which works upon a slide R. (Fig. 1) beneath the
slot, the top end of which is made to receive either an eccentric face plate, or the
slide P. (Fig. 2) as the case may require. Either can be screwed on top of spindle
and are used for working small frames. The slide is worked with the screw S. (Fig. 2)
and hand wheel T. (Fig. 2).
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.
1. The quadrant and setting of spindle on same, from any given point between
perpendicular and horizontal position.
2. The extension slide in rise and fall table top, the spring and stop connected
with same; for moulding oval frames.
3. The spindle under the rise and fall table, with eccentric connected therewith
together with the arrangement for fixing the extension slide and face plate
to same.
4. The rise and fall table for this class of machine.
