Improvements in Wood Moulding and Planing Machines.
I, NOEL NEWALL HAIGH, Managing Director, of W. B. Haigh & Co. Limited,
of Globe Ironworks, Oldham, in the County of Lancaster, Saw Mill Engineers,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows ;-
-
This invention relates to means for adjusting the front plate beneath which
the cutting tool of wood moulding and planing machines acts, and the invention
consists in so mounting the said front plate that it can be lowered from its highest
position and also withdrawn from the cutting edge.
This can be done in several ways; for example, the said front plate may be
provided with an inclined plate beneath it the said incline resting on a fixed
incline attached to the frame of the machine and being adjustable on the said
incline, say by a nut or nuts fixed to the plate passing through a slot or slots
in the fixed incline and an adjusting screw or screws, turned say by bevel gear
and a shaft provided with a winch handle.
Or the front plate may be mounted on parallel arms which can be tilted so
as to fall backwards away from the cutting edge.
Or the said plate may be mounted to slide backwards in supports which can
be lowered.
"
"
It will be seen from the above description that according to this invention the
front plate can be lowered to take more cut off the board or plank under
operation without fear of damage or accident, since the plate is withdrawn from
the cutting edge when it is lowered.

İ, NOEL NEWALL HAIGH, Managing Director of W. B. Haigh & Co. Limited,
of Globe Ironworks, Oldham, in the County of Lancaster, Saw Mill Engineers,
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:-
This invention relates to means for adjusting the front plate in wood moulding
and planing machines beneath which the cutting tool acts, and the invention
consists in so mounting the said front plate that it can be lowered from its highest

page_text: position and also withdrawn from the cutting edge for the purpose of regulating
the amount of "cut" off the board or plank under operation.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is part front elevation, Fig. 2 part plan
and Fig. 3 a sectional end elevation of a wood moulding and planing machine with
my invention applied thereto. Fig. 4 is part front elevation of the same machine 5
showing a modification of my invention. In these views similar letters refer to
similar parta
I make the front plate in a wood moulding and planing machine adjustable
in height, either by means of an inclined or a vertical base or supports under the
plate which can be lowered.
In Figs. 1, 2 and 3 the plate a is shewn formed with an inclined base c and
the frame of the machine is constructed with a correspondingly inclined portion d
upon which to rest the said inclined base c, and formed at an angle by which the
front plate is retained in a horizontal position. The said plate is fixed at the
required height, or raised and lowered by means of a nut or nuts e fixed to the 1
base c, the said nut or nuts passing through a slot or slots f in the fixed incline d,
and actuated by a screw g, bevel gearing; and wheel & or equivalent.
In a modification of my invention shown in Fig. 4, the plate a is formed to
slide horizontally on the vertical standard c which is connected to the frame of
the machine eo as to be raised and lowered by the screw 9, and nut e, bevel
gearing and hand wheel k
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. In a wood moulding and planing machine mounting the front plate beneath
which the cutting tool acts, on an inclined base under the plate whereby the said
plate may be raised and lowered, or withdrawn from the cutting edge of the tool
by means either of a screw and nut actuated by bevel gearing or an equivalent
substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
"
2. In a wood moulding and planing machine, mounting the front plate beneath
which the cutting tool acts, so as to slide horizontally on a vertical base or support
whereby the said plate may be withdrawn from the cutting edge of the tool and
raised or lowered by means cither of a screw and nut actuated by bevel gearing
or an equivalent substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
