IMPROVED MACHINERY FOR MAKING MOULDINGS IN WOOD AND OTHER MATERIALS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, HERBERT JOHN HADDAN of the firm of Herbert and Company, Patent Agents,
of 67, Strand, in the City of Westminster, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the
nature of said Invention for IMPROVED MACHINERY FOR MAKING MOULDINGS
IN WOOD AND OTHER MATERIALS," a communication to me from abroad by Anthime
Morin, of Raincy, France, Mechanician, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to machinery for making all kinds of mouldings in wood
and similar material.
In the improved machine I first cut the rough shape by a rapidly revolving
cutter and then finish the moulding by a pair of reciprocating cutters, which act
on different sides, for instance one on the top and the other on the side of the
moulding.
The article to be moulded is placed on a table and held on the sides by means of
springs, while the pressure on the top, and the transport, are obtained by means of
friction rollers, placed partly above and partly below the table.
The rotary.cutter is mounted on a vertical spindle secured to a vertically movable
slide and capable of turning with the latter on a horizontal axis, so as to obtain
any desired height and inclination of the tool.
The two reciprocating cutters are mounted on the same carriage and adjustable
thereon independently of each other.
The carriage is made to slide to and fro on the machine bed by means of a
double armed lever pivoted to a bracket underneath the carriage and set in motion
from a crank disc by means of a connecting rod, the crank disc being in its turn
set in motion from the main driving or crank shaft by means of a connecting rod
connected with the same crauk pin.
The horizontal driving shaft situated at the base of the machine sets in motion
the grooved feed roller or transporting roller by means of an oblique shaft provided
at the lower end with a bevel gear and disengaging clutches and at the upper end
with a worm gearing into a worm wheel mounted on the shaft of the transporting
roller.

page_text: The friction roller which presses on the moulding from the top, is held by a
lever pivoted to the machine frame and held at its free end by a vertical strap
situated at the side of the frame and adapted to be fixed thereto at different
heights by means of a screw spindle and nut abutting against a fixed bracket.
The springs, which guide on the side the block of wood to be moulded, are fixed
to clamps or bolts made adjustable by means of slots.
The machine is preferably arranged in duplicate, that is to say, two rotary
cutters, and two reciprocating carriages and tables are situated side by side on the
same machine frame and driven from the same crank axle.

I, HERBERT JOHN HADDAN, of 67, Strand, in the City of Westminster, Civil
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of said invention for IMPROVED MACHINERY
FOR MAKING MOULDINGS IN WOOD AND OTHER MATERIAL, a communication to me
from abroad by Anthime Morin, of Raincy, France, Mechanical Engineer, 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 machinery for making all kinds of mouldings in wood
and similar material,
In the following description reference will be made to the accompanying
drawings, of which Fig 1 is a side elevation. Fig 2 a plan and Fig 3 an end
elevation of a machine embodying the invention, while the remaining Figures
represent details.
In the improved machine I first cut the rough shape by a rapidly revolving
cutter N and then finish the moulding by a pair of adjustable reciprocating
cutters or tools P, Q which may act on different sides, for instance one on the top
and the other on the side of the moulding.
The article J to be moulded is placed on a table, held on the sides by means
of springs r while the pressure on the top and the transport are obtained by means
of friction rollers 1' K", K" placed partly above and partly below the table.
The rotary cutter N is mounted on a vertical spindle provided with a hand-
wheel and secured to a vertically movable slide Z₁ capable of turning with the
slide rest or tool holder Z on a horizontal axis, so as to obtain any desired height
and inclination of the tool.
The two reciprocating cutters P and Q are mounted on the same carriage P¹¹ and
adjusted thereon independently of each other. The carriage Pu pu pu is made
to slide to and fro on the machino bed and set in motion from a crank dise B by
means of a connecting rod F, the shaft of the crank disc being in its turn set in
motion by a pair of belt pulleys.
The horizontal driving shaft situated at the base of the machine sets in motion
the grooved feed roller I' or transporting roller by means of an oblique shaft I
provided at the lower end with a bevel gear T and disengaging clutch, and at the
upper end with a worm J gearing into a worm wheel J' mounted on the shaft of
the transporting roller 1'.
The friction roller K" which presses on the moulding from the top is held by a
lever K pivoted to the machine frame and held with its free end by a vertical
strap K situated at the side of the frame and adapted to be fixed thereto at
different heights by means of a screw spindle and nut 7 abutting against a fixed
bracket 1.
The springs r which guide on the side the block of wood to be moulded, are
fixed to clamps or bolts R made adjustable by means of slots.
The machine is preferably arranged in duplicate, that is to say two rotary
cutters, and two reciprocating carriages and tables are situated side by side on the
same machine frame and driven from the same crank axles.

page_text: The cutter N may make about 2000 revolutions per minute and is driven by
means of a string from the pulley y" mounted on the second motion shaft M,
which is in its turn driven by a belt Q from the pulley of the main driving
shaft. The latter may be set in motion in any convenient manner for instance by
a pair of belt pulleys G" and G.
The carriage with the reciprocating tools makes 450 strokes per minute, and the
feed motion of the moulding during the same time is about 2.5 meters.
Fig 4 is a side view of the tool-carrier, Fig 5 a plan and Fig 6 a cross section
of the same.
A is a cast iron stand or side frame, and C a bracket connected with the rod F
which sets in motion the carriage P1111 with the horizontally and vertically adjustable
tools P and Q
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
1. A moulding machine having a rotary cutting tool N and a pair of independently
adjustable finishing tools P and Q provided with reciprocating motion and adapted
to act on the piece of work after the cutting tool N. 1
2. A moulding machine having a pair of independent cutting tools P, Q, made
adjustable in all directions and mounted on the same carriage provided with
reciprocating motion, substantially as described.
3. The combination of a rotary cutter N, with a pair of reciprocating tools P, Q,
driving gear, means for guiding and supporting the piece of work, and a frame
work, substantially as described,
