Description

IMPERIAL

PATENT OFFICE.

This machine consists of an upright bracket, which is hinged in the middle. One part (half bracket) α of which is fixed on a plate, which is on a table, trestle, etc., and the second part (half bracket) b is movable in a guide c extending through the plate.

In this bracket there is a carriage d, which. is set in motion by the loose half-bracket b. The front part of the slide, provided with a slot, is guided by the pin located in the slot of the fixed half-bracket α. The rear part of the slide, which is provided with a handle, is movably fastened by means of a pin in the loose half-bow b.

On this slide is the knife e, which in turn can be adjusted high and low by means of the two vertical slots made in the slide.

To the left of the bracket, fixed with a screw on the end near the knife, fixed or movable on the other end by means of a pin in a clamp f , is the cork strip guide g. The plate h is only used to better place the cork strips.

The clamp can be adjusted by means of a screw; if the same is pushed more against the knife, the movement of the cork strip guide becomes a smaller one, pushed off by the knife, a larger one. To the right of the bracket, attached to the plate, is an adjusting device i, which consists of a small rail and two screws that go through spiral springs and are attached to an attachment located on the plate.

The plate has an elongated hole under the knife e and in front of the cork strip guide g for the dice to fall through.

When the machine is in operation, the slide is lifted up, the cork strip is pushed on the guide g up to the adjusting device i, and the cubes are then cut from the strip with a rapid pushing down of the slide. A light, smooth and straight cut is achieved because the knife, due to the carriage attached to the loose lever, describes a circular arc in all points and therefore the cork strip is cut through from front to back and from top to bottom. The next time the slide is pushed in, the cube falls, prevented from falling sideways by means of the adjusting rail, through the hole in the plate into the container below it.

During the cutting respectively. When the knife is pushed through the cork, the rail gives way to the adjusting device i by the spiral springs in order to prevent the cork from being pressed against the knife. The previous position of the rail is automatically restored by the spiral springs immediately after the cube has been removed.

The rail of the adjusting device i can be closer or farther from the screw by means of the screw

Knives can be removed depending on whether you want to cut narrower or wider cubes.

The purpose of the clip in the cork strip guide g is to be able to produce cubes, rectangular or tapering on one side (shape of a truncated pyramid).

If the cubes are to be right-angled, all that is necessary is the cork strip in the right one Angle standing with the knife, to be screwed tight, while the same loosely, on the outside The end must remain in the brackets when the cubes are cut in a truncated pyramid shape should be.

For this purpose it is then only necessary to push the cork strip guide at the outer end alternately to k and then to /. The further the clamp is removed from the knife, the greater the movement of one end of the cork strip guide and, consequently, the shorter the pyramid shape.

Claims (1)

Patent claim: Machine for dividing cork wood into right-angled and pointed cubes, in which the strips are placed against the guide g , which is to be placed at right angles or diagonally against the cut, advanced to the spring-loaded adjusting device i and by means of the one on the carriage d and through the bracket α and b curved knife e are cut. For this purpose ι sheet of drawings.
