Improvements in Wood Working Machinery for Cutting Barrel
Heads and the like.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE of the firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents
of 45 Southampton Buildings in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates in general to wood working machines of the class designed
for cutting and forming disks or circular forms such as barrel heads, tub and pail
bottoms and the like. My present invention relates more particularly to the
devices employed in such machines for presenting to the cutting mechanism the
stock or material from which the disks are to be cut and for holding said stock
firmly in position while the operation of cutting is being effected. My invention
also embraces mechanism for feeding forward successively to the cutting devices
short sections or blanks of wood when it is desired to employ such short pieces or
blanks instead of long boards or plauks. My invention also embraces certain
improvements in the clamping devices by which two boards or planks of varying
thickness which are not doweled or glued together may be held securely side by
side while a disk is being cut therefrom, and my invention also embraces certain
details of construction all as hereinafter more particularly set forth.
Wood working machines of the class above referred to are provided with one or
more (generally two) cutter heads mounted on revolving tubular shafts or sleeves
the said shafts or sleeves being connected with operating devices whereby they
may be moved longitudinally in such manner as to carry the cutters into contact
with the material to be cut and after cutting has been effected withdraw the
cutters or move them in the opposite direction preparatory to cutting another
disk. Rods or shafts are provided which extend through the said tubular shafts
or sleeves and carry clamping plates which are in this way located centrally of the
cutting mechanism. That is the portion of the wood which is to be cut into a
circular form or disk is held centrally between two clamps while the cutters which
are mounted on a rotary head traverse a circle outside of the clamp and cut the stock
which is held. After the cutters have done their work they are withdrawn by
suitable automatically operating mechanism and after their withdrawal the clamps
are separated and the disk which has been cut as also the waste pieces are shoved
forward out of the machine by the succeeding portion of the stock which is fed
forward and from which the succeeding disk is to be cut. When the clamps
approach each other either or both may move, the movable member of the clamp
device is yieldingly mounted, that is the rod or shaft which carries it is seated
preferably against a spring or equivalent cushion device so that the clamp impinges
the board or stock with a yielding contact. If the clamp had a rigid face and the
stock to be cut comprised two or more pieces of wood of varying thickness the
clamping device would seize the thicker piece and would not bear upon the other
piece or pieces. To overcome this difficulty and to make it possible to clamp two
or more pieces of stock of varying thickness and to hold them securely while they
are being cut, the face of the clamp is provided with a layer of rubber or similar
yielding material preferably provided with projections which stand out from its
surface and which compress to a greater or less extent as the clamp impinges the
wood which is to be held in place. In this way unless the difference in the thick-
ness of the wood to he cut is very considerable, which is not usually the case, each
of the pieces will be securely held. Instead of the rubber, springs may be

page_text: employed if the difference in thickness of the pieces of wood to be clamped is
considerable.
In my improved machine the cutters rotate in a horizontal plane and their
actuating shafts are consequently in a vertical position. This arrangement of the
cutters necessitates the feeding of the boards flatwise, that is the boards or planks
are not in a vertical position resting on their edge as they are fed into the machine
but in a horizontal position. To provide for feeding long planks or boards a table
is provided which is placed in front of the machine and on a level, or substantially
so, with the lower member of the clamping device. This table is in fact preferably
a frame in which are inserted rolls in pairs, an upper and a lower roll constituting
one pair, the upper roll is spring pressed so that it bears with yielding pressure on
the upper side of the board or plank as the board or plank passes between said
rolls. There may be several pairs of these rolls depending on the length of the
stock to be used. Between two adjacent pairs of these rolls and underneath the
board is placed a cross-head which is composed of two blocks which slide in ways
on either side of the said frame and which are connected by a rod or shaft which is
mounted in said blocks so that it may rock therein. On said rocking head are
secured two or more dogs, the teeth of which as the dogs move forward toward
the cutting mechanism of the machine seize the underside of the stock and feed it
along toward the cutters. These dogs are provided with proper regulating
devices, to regulate the extent to which their teeth will enter the board, and
automatic mechanism is provided whereby the dogs are reciprocated horizontally
to accomplish the feeding forward of the stock and this mechanism is so arranged
that the feed is affected by positive movements which are accurate and which serve
to move the stock forward only so much as is necessary thereby reducing the
necessary waste to a minimum.
The arrangements of the cutters in a horizontal plane as previously stated is
important because in a machine of this general type in which the cutters are
arranged in a vertical plane the feeding of the stock to the machine is rendered
much more difficult and can be less accurately accomplished. I have also provided
in one form of my machine for the employment of stock which is cut in short
sections or blanks as they are sometimes called. This necessitates a modification
of the feeding apparatus and this modification consists in the employment of a box
or receiver which is placed on top of the feed table or frame and which is adapted
to receive a number of the short sections or blanks of wood piled one on top of
the other.
The blanks or sections are successively fed forward between the separated
clamps and cutter heads by means of a reciprocating pusher which acts to press
forward the bottom one of the series of blanks or sections in the box. This pusher
is operated by means of a cam on one of the rotating shafts of the machine and
suitable intermediate connections. Adjacent to the clamps and cutter heads are
placed gauges for determining the position of each blank relatively to the said
parts as it is thrust forward between them. One of these gauges is placed on each
side of the disk producing mechanism, one of them being fixed and the other by
preference movable and acted upon through devices including a spring whereby
the movable gauge is pressed inward normally. The forward end of this gauge
is beveled to facilitate the entrance of the blanks between the gauges. The spring
which operates to move the movable gauge inwardly causes it to hold each blank
or section in turn properly pressed toward the opposite gauge. Should a blank be
made up of two or more narrow widths placed side by side, the spring pressed
inovable gauge will hold the parts of the blank closely pressed against each other.
For the purpose of insuring the inward movement of the movable gauge I combine
a cam and intermediate connections embracing the spring aforesaid, these parts
operating at regular intervals to force the movable gauge inwardly.
I have also provided in my machine against the danger of breaking the
mechanism in case for any reason the cutters are prevented from moving through
the wood. In such case if the mechanism which actuates them in a vertical

page_text: direction continues to act, while the cutters are prevented from moving, the
machine would be broken, but a device is arranged in the actuating connections
which prevents this and by means of which in such an event the main shaft of the
machine may revolve while the cutters and their vertical actuating mechanism
stop.
It is also desirable to be able to adjust the cutters in the cutter head so that
disks of greater or less diameter may be readily cut by a proper adjustment of the
cutters. To effect this I have mounted the cutters in blocks which are arranged
to slide in radial slots in the cutter head.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Wood Working Machinery for Cutting Barrel
Heads and the like.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE of the firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
45 Southampton Buildings in the County of Middlesex, 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 :-
In the drawings which accompany this Specification I have shown a machine
which embodies my invention. In said drawings Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my
machine. Fig. 2 is a front elevation with the cutter-heads, the clamps, and the
shafts in section. Fig. 3 is a plan view looking downwardly from a point above

Figs. 9 and 10 are details hereinafter referred to. Fig. 11 is a section on line ar
Fig. 8.
My invention relates in general to wood working machines of the class designed
for cutting and forming disks or circular forms such as barrel heads, tub and pail
bottoms and the like. My present invention relates more particularly to the device
employed in such machines for presenting to the cutting mechanism the stock or
material from which the disks are to be cut and for holding said stock or material
from which the disks are to be cut firmly in position while the operation of cutting
is being effected. My invention also embraces mechanism for feeding forward
successively to the cutting devices short sections or blanks of wood, when it is
desired to employ such short pieces or blanks instead of long boards or planks. My
invention also embraces certain improvements in clamping devices by which two
boards or planks of varying thickness, which are not doweled or glued together
may be held securely side by side, while a disk is being cut therefrom, and my
invention also embraces certain details of construction all as hereinafter more
particularly set forth.
I have shown my invention as embodied in the best form now known to me
in the accompanying drawings, and I will describe the same having reference
thereto.
A is the base of the machine. B is a cylindrical upright which forms the main
support of the machine and to which the auxiliary supports for the various parts of
the mechanism are secured. C is one of the auxiliary supports, in which the lower
cutter shaft is journalled and upon which one end of the table D rests, the other end
thereof being supported by legs E. Fis an auxiliary support in which the shaft. of
the upper cutter head is journalled.

page_text: The machine is driven from a pulley mounted on the horizontal shaft h, which is
located at the lower rear portion of the machine. The shaft is supported on
uprights set on the base piece A. A vertical shaft which is journalled on the
projections which are secured to the standard B is connected with the shaft by
means of a beveled gear and pinion m n. The vertical shaft is provided with
upper and lower belt pulleys p q respectively, from which the vertically-arranged
cutter-head shafts As are driven by belts, which are not shown, but which pass
over the pulleys rs on the upper and lower cutter-head shafts. When a board is
cut, the cutters must be given a vertical movement, in order that the disk may be
severed from the board or plank. It is also necessary that one or both of the
movable members of the clamp should have a similar movement and that the said
clamp should operate inside the path described by the cutters. It will be noted
that I have located the cutter-heads and clamp members in horizontal planes, which
enables me to lay the boards flat on the horizontal table D and feed them forward
in this position to the cutters. In this way the stock as also the waste and the
disks when formed, are more readily and easily handled. The vertical movements
of the cutter-heads, and the movable member of the clamp, are obtained from the
horizontal secondary shaft t which is driven by means of the gears » w (see Fig. 3)
from the main shaft . The shaft is mounted in uprights a' secured to the base
piece A, and is provided with disks bc in which are cut cams which operate the
vertical connecting rods d'e' respectively. The lower ends of the rods del are
secured to the yoke-shaped pieces m' n', which are cut away centrally as shown
Fig. 5, the shaft t passing through the aperture, and which are provided with cam
rolls which travel in the cam-paths in the disks c¹. The lower ends of the
rods are headed and are received in the socket a' in the yokes m² n', a
spring n being placed in the socket underneath the head on the end of the rod,
the rod passing through the tubular screw in the bore at the upper end of the yoke.
By this means the movable clamp and upper cutter should they meet an obstacle in
their downward movement, are prevented from injury, as the throw of the cam will
be taken up by the springs in the socket a'. The connecting-rods d'e are cach
provided with a right and left hand adjusting screw as shown at pl and are pivoted
at their upper ends to the levers fg respectively. These levers are pivoted to an
upright piece secured on top of the support F. (See Fig. 2.) The outer end of the
lever is connected by means of a slot-and-pin connection with the rod upon the
lower end of which is secured the movable clamp member j'. The rod passes
through an aperture lengthwise of the shaft to which the cutter head is attached.
The end of the lever is secured by a similar slot-and-pin connection with the
sleeve surrounding the hollow shaft between the pulley and the ring, the
pulley being rigidly secured upon the shaft k¹. It will be clear that by means of
this mechanism the upper cutter-head and clamp will be moved vertically
in proportion to the throw of the cams c. The lower clamp member or bed y
does not require to have a vertical movement, and I prefer to make it rigid; but
the lower cutter-head requires to be moved vertically in order to bevel the lower
side of the disk, which is cut, at the edges. The lower cutter head is mounted on a
hollow shafts upon which the pulley s is fast. This shaft s is arranged to move
vertically, and for the purpose of moving it vertically I provide a sleeve t
surrounding the shaft between the pulleys and the ring on the shaft w¹.
Lever (see Fig. 2) has a forked end which engages with pins on the sleeve t³.
This lever is pivoted to a lug on the support C, and is provided with a downwardly
and forwardly projecting curved arm (see Fig. 1), the lower end of which carries
a roll which bears on the periphery of the cam-wheel el. It will be clear that as
the cam revolves the cutter-head will be moved vertically. Inside the hollow
shaft is the rod wl to the upper end of which is fastened the bed or lower clamp
member q. The lower end of the rod w¹ is rigidly mounted in the curved yoke-
shaped frame a. On the end of the shaft and beside the cam is secured the
feed actuating can which co-operates with a roll set on the end of the
connection d², said connection being slotted as shown Fig. 1 where the shaft & passes
2*

page_text: through it, the shaft serving to support the connection and hold it in place
relatively to the actuating cam . The other end of the connection is
pivoted to a vertical levere which is pivoted on a cross bar or rod extending
between the legs E of the table. The upper end of the lever is branched
as shown Fig. 1, and is provided with a toothed sector which co-operates
with a pinion g fast on a shaft which is journaled at either end in the
legs or supports E. The shaft is provided with a gear (Fig. 6) which
co-operates with a rack 2 which is fast to the horizontal rod o², which is
secured at either end in the sliding blocks m². These blocks are each provided with
a flange adapted to fit a slot or groove n2 in the side of the table D and are
connected together rigidly by means of said cross rod o². On the cross rod o² are
pivoted tilting feed dogs p², (see Fig. 4) having pointed or sharpened ends adapted
to seize the underside of the boards or planks, and hold them while they are fed
forward. A series of projections or uprights 72 on either side of the table D are
provided with yielding sliding bearings for the rolls under which the boards or
planks pass and which hold them in position. The roll at the front of the table
and that at the other end thereof have each a companion roll 2 mounted in bearings
beneath the same. The end of the board or plank is inserted between the first
roll and its companions as it is fed into the machine. The plank is shoved
forward until its end passes between the shaft o², and the yielding presser roll
directly above it, at which point it is in position to be seized by the feed dogs p².
By means of the feed cam 62 the connection d is moved toward the left, Fig. 1,
moving the sector in the opposite direction, and by means of the rack and pinion
causing the feed dogs to feed the stock forward between the last roll and its
companion rolls. To move the feed mechanism in the opposite direction a
spring a is employed which is secured at one end to the lower part of the lever e
and at the other to a projection from the leg E. As the feed dogs point forward,
that is, in the direction in which the board is to be fed, (see Fig. 4) the reverse
movement of the feed mechanism frees the dog from its hold in the board and as
the dogs are pivoted on the rod o' they tilt slightly and pass back freely under the
board until the forward feed movement again commences when they once more seize
the board and feed it forward. The rear ends of the dogs are weighted
sufficiently to hold their points up against the wood and are provided with
adjustable screw-threaded stop-pins d by means of which the bite of the feed dogs
may be regulated, as will be clear from Fig. 4. By having two or more dogs
mounted on the rod of the machine is fitted to feed forward together two or more
planks or boards.
When the stock has been fed forward between the upper and lower cutters, it
rests on the lower member 7' of the clamping device. The upper or movable
clamp is then moved downwardly and the wood is firmly secured between the
clamps. The contact-face of the clamp member is preferably covered with
a rubber facing which is roughened or corrugated or provided with downwardly
projecting points which compress under pressure and which serve to hold the wood
firmly in place. This rubber facing is of sufficient thickness and is sufficiently
compressible to accommodate itself to boards of unequal thickness so that two boards
placed side by side and of unequal thickness may be firmly clamped between the
upper and lower clamp members j' 7'. After the clamp members have seized
the wood, the cutters approach and pass into it, one of the cutters acting in advance
of the other, so that the knives will not come in contact, and the disk is severed.
The cutters and clamp members then separate, the wood is again fed forward, and
the cutting operation repeated. The feeding forward of the wood shoves the disks
which are cut as also the waste stock off the table, and clear of the machine. The
cutter-heads and cutters are so constructed that the cutters may be adjusted to cut
disks of varying diameters. This will be clear from Figs. 2 and 3. The cutter
head is preferably a wheel with as many spokes (see Fig. 3) as there are cutters.
On each of the spokes, or connecting portions between the rim of the wheel and its
hub, is mounted a knife-block which is set in a slot in the wheel and secured by

page_text: a set screw, so that the block may be slid in its slot and the distance from the
center of the cutter-lead varied, thus varying the diameter of the disk which is cut.
The knife-blocks f have secured to them, in any suitable manner, the knives g*
said knives being preferably secured by screwing the flat shank of the knife to the
block. Any bevel or slant on the edge of the disk may be obtained by varying the
bevel or slant of the knife.
The arrangement of the cutters in a horizontal plane is important because in a
machine of this general type, in which the cutters are arranged in a vertical plane,
the feeding of the stock to the machine is rendered much more difficult and can be
less accurately accomplished.
I have also provided in one form of my machine shown Figs. 7 and 8, for the
employment of stock which is cut in short sections or blanks, as they are sometimes
called. This necessitates a modification of the feeding apparatus as will now be
described. I connect with the rack 2 a pusher by which to push or carry forward
successively into the clamping and cutting mechanism short sections of boards or
blanks, and adjacent to the said pusher, I arrange a trough, chute or the like
receptacle, in which a number of such sections may be placed, the pusher serving
to propel or carry them forward one by one to the clamping and cutting devices.
Such a pusher is shown at 3, it consisting of a flat board, plate, or strip herein
shown as resting and sliding upon transversely arranged rollers 4-4 mounted on
the table D. The said pusher being provided at its outer end with a cross strip 5,
which at its ends is connected by rods 7-7 to a slide 8, to which the rack k³ is
secured or connected. In the drawings, Figs. 7 and 8, I have shown a receptacle
or box 9 placed above the rollers 4-4, boards 10, 10 being used to bridge and fill
the openings between the rollers in the space inclosed by the sides of the
receptacle the said boards and rollers forming a kind of bottom for the receptacle.
In the drawings, I have represented the space within the receptacle shortened to
suit the size of the section or blank by the insertion of a vertical partition 97.
The section or blank will be placed into the division of the receptacle which is at
the left-hand side of the said vertical partition. If desired the boards 10 may be
set down far enough between the rollers 4-4 to leave portions of the said rollers
exposed above the board's 10, although this is not necessary.
One side of the box
is cut away at 93 to expose the interior of the box and its contents. The pusher
slides over the rollers and these bridging boards and in its forward movement its
end carries before it the bottom section of the pile of sections or blanks in the
receptacle, pushing the said bottom one between the clamping disks which at this
time are separated. A guide apron 11 at the delivery end of the receptacle 9
serves to hold down the moving sections or blanks and direct the same properly
between the clamping and cutting devices. The sections or blanks may be
composed each of one piece of material or two or more narrow strips may be placed
together, side by side in the receptacle and fed forward as one by the pusher. For
the purpose of properly guiding the sections laterally and also for the purpose of
holding properly pressed together the two narrow strips which in some cases will
be placed side by side, I employ lateral gauges 12 and 13, one of which is placed
at the rear of the clamping and cutting devices and the other at the front thereof.
To facilitate the entrance of the sections or blanks between the gauges 12 and 13,
I bevel off the inner corner of the gauge 13 at the end of the said gauge which is
adjacent the receptacle 9. The entrance of the sections or blanks is further
facilitated by the fact that the gauge 13 is made yielding and movable
toward and from the gauge 12. The said gauge 13 is secured by screws 17
to blocks 16 passing through slots 18 in the top of the table D, the
said blocks being secured by screws 15 in position upon rods 14, sliding laterally
through the sides of the table D, the said rods 14 at their ends being provided
with pins which play in slots in arms 19 mounted upon a rock-shaft 20,
which rock-shaft is supported in bearings at one side of the table. An inwardly
projecting arm 21 on the said rock-shaft has connected therewith a rod 22, the
lower end of which is provided with a yoke 23, (see Figs. 9 and 10) the latter

page_text: being slotted so that it may slide upon a shaft t and being provided with a stud or
roller 24 intended to be struck by a cam 25 on the said shaft t in the revolution of
the said shaft. The weight of arm 21 and of the rod and yoke suspended there-
from holds the gauge 13 pressed in a yielding manner towards the gauge 12. By
the action of the cam 25 upon stud or roller 24 the gauge 13 is pressed towards the
gauge 12 just prior to the descent of the upper clamping member so as to grip the
sections firmly edgewise and in such manner that if the section is composed of two
or more narrow strips, each less in width than an entire section or blank such strips
shall be forced closely together at their edges before they are engaged by the
clamping devices. In order to provide for variations in the width of the sections
as they are fed forward between the gauges 12 and 13 I interpose a yielding
connection between the cam and movable gauge 13. I have shown herein the
upper end of rod 22 passing freely through a hole in the inner end of arm 21, and
a spring 26 connected at its upper end to the arm 21, and at its lower end to the
rod 22. Blocks 16 may be adjusted along the rods 14 when it is desired to vary the
distance of the gauge 13 from the gauge 12.
The operation of this modified form of feeding device will be apparent from the
foregoing description. A pile of sections or blanks of the width and length
necessary for the production of the desired disk will be placed in the receptacle 9,
these sections or blanks being either each of one piece of the full width necessary
or of two or more strips together making up the width. Each of the sections or
blanks in turn as it reaches the bottom of the pile in the receptacle is engaged by
the pusher and pushed forward under the apron 11, and between the gauges 12 and 13,
the gauge 13 moving outwardly to permit the entrance of the section between it
and the gauge 12. The gauge 13 is then pressed inwardly against the edge of
the section through the action of the cam 25, and then the clamping devices
close upon it, and it is is acted upon by the cutting mechanism.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is
