Letters Patent No. 107,820, dated SeptemberZ?, 1870.

i The `Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part ofthe same.

Be it known 1 that'LOARL `Flnnnnrcn ScHLicK- invented certain" new'and useful `Improvements in riads, of .which thefollowng is afull4 clear, and exact descriptlomreference being` had tol the accompanywhich-fl Figure 1' represents a sectional side yiew, takenas indicated by theiline a; x,liu `igs. 2 -and `3, of a machine constructed inV 'accordance with my i'n'vention;

Figure 2 is an end-or rear elevation of said machine;

, Figure 3, asectional plan, taken as indicated. by the line y yingsl and 2.`

i This improved machineis more especially desigmdT for the working of fricestones, and 'haslfor its object r.[ `he invention consistsinvarious coinbiiitons of devices, including intermittently-acting` picks or cut' diiierently adj ustable arrangements of theparts of the In the accompanying `drawingvthe machine is repf leveling action onfthe stone, but various dresses may be made and different profiles formed by suitably adjusting the fa-lhboth as regards-extent andorder,

or cutters, and feed of thestone while being dressed.

In said drawingl A represents a bed or` foundation, on which is mounted the frame B and B of the machine.` l C is a rail track, resting loosely on transoms l), and made capable of adjustment laterally by means'- of a screw,t, and connecting-shackle b, which latter is.. attached, by a vertical pivot, to the rail track, whereby the latter is capableof being swiveled horizntally on saidupivot of the shackle.

This double adjustment of the rail track provides for both special and general yadjustment of the stone undery the pickers or cutters, the lateral adjustment by the `screw a providing for the adjustment of the stone to vary its lines of cut as effected by thc pick-v ers or chisels operating at distances apart, and whereby the stone may, by repeated travels of it under the cutters, be dressed over its entire surface. l l

The stone is supported on a truck or carriage, E,

frd thereon by any suitable means or application of' power.. V-F is the driving-shaft that operates the cutters, and which .may be revolved by any suitable means. On this shaft are arranged andy secured, so as to rotate with it, any desired number of toe-carriers, G,

i lying side by side, andi armed with toes or lifters, d,

differently set or disposed, so that they will act suc` cessively, either in regular or irregular order, ou

sledges H, loose upon a rod or shaft, I, to raise the front portions .of said sledges, which carry picksV l chisels, or fcutters, e, and so that when said sledges are released from the toes they will deseendby" whichcarry them may have their' drop varied rela# tively to each other; or certain of them be worked in vmore rapid spccession than the others, to secure dierent depthsor extents of cut. A beam, J, adjustable up or down the portionB of the frame, is here shown as serving to arrest and regulatej'the striking action of the sledges, so that the cutters are restrained "from entering beyond a given depth into the stone, and whereby the sledges Y are retained in proper position for the lifting action of the toes on them.

This beam may be of any desired configuration on its upper surface to secure a varied, action to thc sledges and their cutters relatively to each other.`

The slide or truck E, which carries the stone, may be run either forward or' backward under the picks` or cutters as'v the stone is operated on by the latter.

To adapt the machine to operate on dilferent thicknesses of stone, and to do different kinds of work, and

`to adj ust it generally and specially, in certain respects,

to different kinds of stone or qualitiesl of material being worked, the shaft I, on which the sledges H rock, and the revolving shaft F, which carries and rotates with it the toe-carriers G, and their toes (l, are hung in boxes,

carried by slides K, arranged s0 as to be capable of up-and-down adjustment on the posts B of the frame by means of scrcws, f, made to t boxes in the slides within the posts, that may have slots, g, in them, for the guidance of the slides and their connection with the adjusting-screws f. lhe boxes h, that carry the shaft F, are also' made separately adjustable up and down the slides AK by al dovetail or sliding t of said boxes within the slides K,,andadjustment of the same by screws t, or other .suitable devices.

By this latter adj nstment,l the toes d are made to act sooner or later, and with a longer or shorter throw sliding boxes h, which carry the revolving toes or shaft operating the same, with the slides4 K and the sledges H, cssentallyns described.

This specification signed by me this 20th day of April, 1870.
