' IMPROVEMENT 1N VrvrncHINEs non BEVELING AND cnoznve BARRBLS.

The Schedule referred tn in these'Lettexs Patent and making part of the same y v LHARYA. CRossLEY, of C1cveland,in the county l of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have'invented certain l Improvements in Barrel-trussing, Beveling or Chamfering and Orozing-Machines, of which the following is a specication.

able number' of standards, B B, to the top of which is secured a'stron'g circular frame, C. These, together,

make the'frame work, which carries and supports the working-parts.

In the centerof the base A is a cylinder, a, in which plays a plunger, b, attached to the under side of a cross-head, D, which has arms, d d, with wings, e e, on

each end, embracing the standards B B, upon which the cross-head is made to slide.L

Upon the arms d d issecured a ring, E.

Just'outside of theframe are placed force-pumps, F F, connected with the cylinder @by a pipe, g. i

The pumps are set on a reservoir, h, from which they take water.

An outlet-pipe, l, has a cock, m, allowing the water to return to the reservoir.

The pump-rods are worked by a crank-shaft, k, set in arms on the top of frame O, the said shaft k being driven bythe pulley t. I

On the top of the circular frame C is-placcd aframe, G, in which is arranged an upright hollow shaft, H,

having its bearings on the said frame Gr, and which is` driven by thevpulley I.

On the lower-,end of the shaft H is a disk, M, which turnsj ust within the circular frame'O. l

' Fitted into grooves in the upper side of the disk M are the sliding tool-holders 4a av n, on the ends of which are secured, to one a cutter for smoothing the inside of the chine; to another a, cutter for beveling the edge of the chine, and to the third a cutter for cutting the croze inthe chine of a'barrel. Y

The inner ends of the tool-holders have a rack o them, as seen at fn in g. 3.

Within the hub of' the disk M are placed ratchet-. wheels, o, meshing with the racks on the tool-holders.

thread-vent on its lower end, which meshes with the ratchetwheels o.

The rod p is connected at the top by a ball-jont tc a lever, t, pivoted at S.

` The other end ofthe lever t is connected to an elevating-screw, fv, having a crank-wheel and handle, w, by which it may be turned.

An adjustable screw is set ina projection, u, on the frame G for determining the depth to which the lever shall fall. By this arrangement the tool-holders are carried in and out; v

The operation of this machine is as follows:

A barrel having the truss-hoops upon it is set into the ring E, the hoop resting on its edge, when the pumps are set in motion, and, by the hydraulic, force the barrel is trussed. At the same time, the disk being in motion, by turning down the level' t, by the screw fv, the rod p carries the tool-holders outward, and the chine of the barrel is worked on. The rod 11 is again carried up, withdrawing the tools, the cock V'mis opened, when the water ows back into the reservoir h, and the ring E and cross-head D are lowered. The barrel may be taken out Yand set in the ring E, the other end up, when the operation is repeated, working oli' the other end in like manner to the first.

. 1. The arrangement of the frame G, ring C, shaft H, rack 11, lever t, screw a c, the' regulating-screw, pinious 0,. disk M, and cutters n, upon the columns B B, and platform A, all constructed, arranged, and operating substantially as described.

2. In combination with the above, the cylinder a, piston b, frameD d c, ring E, pumps F, and a reservoir, connecting-pipes and pump-operating mechanism, all substantially as herein described.4
