Description

UNT STTES ATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES DAY, OF LANCASTER, AND ALANSON D. LORD, OF BETHANY, NEW YORK.
MACHINE FOR SPLITTING WOOD.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 14,807, dated May 6, 1856.
To all whom t may concern Be it known that we, OHAS. DAY, of the town of Lancaster, Erie county, and State of New York, and ALANsoN D. LORD, of the town of Bethany, Genesee county, and State of New York, assigner to CHARLES DAY, have invented a new and Improved Machine for Splitting lVood by Steam or Horse Power; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accom panying drawings, and more particularly to the model herewith sent.
The nature of our invention consists in operating heavy axes; the handles of which hang in an upright frame; the ends of the handles coming under a horizontal wheel on which are cams so arranged as to raise the axes a sufficient height that their weight shall give a suiicient force to go through the stick of wood to be split, which stick is placed by a person in attendance on a block to receive the blow.
Figure l: C isv the horizontal wheel 8 feet in diameter, on the underside of which are the cams D.
Fig. 2 is the axes, represented apart fro-1n the frame, the center and heaviest ax, say forty pounds, to have a handle of l1 feet in length; the 2 side and lighter axes, say thirty pounds, the handles 7 feet in length.
Fig. 3: A is the frame which may be in and connected with a building or it may be separate. B, is the upright shaft on which is the horizontal wheel, C, on the undert side of which are the cams, D, motion to be given to the upright shaft, B, in any of the usual ways. E is the uprights through which the handles of the aXes are secured on a fulcrum. F is the upright posts through which the handles ofl the axes pass and serve as guides in giving the blow. G, is t-he axes of which there may be one or more. H is the ax raised by the cam to give the blow. I is the post or block under the aX on which the end of the stick is placed to be split. In the uprights F at the bottom of the slots through which the handles of the axes pass should be india rubber cushions or their equivalents to prevent the ax going into the block after passing through the stick.
l/Ve do not claim the wheel and cams as our invention, as cams on Wheels and shafts have long been used for .giving motion to other parts of machines before but- Vhat we claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- The particular application of the axes raised in the manner set forth for the purpose of splitting Wood.
