Application. filed November 18,1924. Seria1;No./50,69O. a
1 all 'w/w m it may concern;
Be it known that I, FREDERICK W. Hons'n Ko'r'rn, a citizen ofthe United States, lGSlCL State of ashington have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lumber Pilers, of which the following is a specification. 1
My present invention relates to improvements in lumber pilers adapted for use in a' ariety of ways but particularly designed for stacking lumber on trucks or cars, which when loaded, are conveyed to a dry ing kiln.
The invention contemplates the utilization of an upright conveyor ot the endless chain type for successively elevating anddepositing boards or planks on a chute or skidway in combination with a vertically movable stacking or piling, frame upon which the worlnnan stands while handling the lumber and formingthe stack on thekiln truck. Means are provided for adjusting the stacking frame for various lengths of boards or planks; automatic devices are used for guid ance in piling the boards or planks 1n the stack 101' the formation of a fine in the'stack or pi ls to insure proper CllStllbuillOn of the air currents in drying the material alter the loaded truck has been introduced to the kiln; and other meritorious features and combinations and arrangements of parts are utilized to insure facility and accuracy in the formation of the stack, as will hereinafter be more fully pointed out and claimed. in the accompanying drawing-s1 have illustrated one nomplete example of the physical embodiment oi my invention wherein the parts are combined: and arranged in accordance withthe belt mode I have thus far de- -ri d structure vation of the releasing device for the 1novable, intermed ate carriage to permit adjustment of the latter. ingat Spokane, in. Spokane County and a Figure 5 is- ;an enlarged detail perspective view of one of the guides for the sticks used as separators placed in horizontal position between layers of boards in the stack.
Figure 6 is a sectional detail view at line 6-6 of Figure 4,
In carrying: out my invention I utilize a strong supporting: frame comprising spaced uprights or posts in the form of channel bars I and 2, provided with suitable bases and joined by a cross beam as 3 to insure a Yde waysloifthethree endless chains 8 which pass aroundsproeliet Wheels 9' male at the lower and upper ends of these frames;
The chains are actuated by power applied to a sprocket wheel 11 on theshat't 5 actuated from a suitable source of supply. a
Each chain, Off 1 the elevator I units is equipped with a series of lumber carri rs" for operating; parts of the conveyor ismade up 01" a The upper shaft common to all of the 'units is'journaled in the upper ends of upright frames 6 having suitable bearings 7. These frames form each coi'i'iprising a pair of ClUpjlG/X arms 121' and 13 pivoted-- at let on the chain, and the free or the location of the carriers on endless chain; f i
As seen in Figure 1f aplank or board 16 is deposited on; a phu'ality ot' the spaced brackets 1'?supportedlfroin the main frame, and by manual teed. these planksare picked up and placed upon. the synchronously mow ing lower arms12 oi the alined carriers. as the carriers move upwardly as'indicated by the erro in Fig. 1 the boards or planks are carried by them upand over'tlie top ot' the carrier frames, and the planks are then. deposited upon a series of spaced inclined skids 18 in the forniiotangle irons whichprofiect at the front of the machine.
As the boards are discharged upon the skids IS'i'hey are handled by two men and deposited upon a car or kiln truck 19, in the form of a. stack having a central line 20 as p '15 of these arms serve to maintain the carrcrs n proper pos tion regardless of indicated by dotted lines and full lines in Figure 1. The flue 20 as shown has a wide base and its walls converge or taper toward the stack-top. The planks or boards are laid or built up in the stack in such manner that laterally extending; spaces, are provided therein to facilitate the distribution of air currents through the stack when the lumber has been conveyed into the kiln for drying.
In stacking the lumber on the kiln truck it is also necessary for greatest economy and BlfiClGIlCy' to space the'horizontally disposed sticks 21, which are used to separate the layers of planks or boards, at proper inter- "als and in regular order, in the stack in uniform vertical rows.
The lumber is removed from the skids 18 by two men, one at each end of the plank or board, who stand upon the end platforms 22 and 23 provided therefor. A third, intermediate, platform 24a is also utilized by one man when short lengths ofmaterial are being handled, and this third platform is adjustable between the two end platforms in order that'a man may stand thereupon.
andco-operate with another man on one of the selected end platforms. When long boards are being stacked, the auxiliary platform 2 1 is moved to the right in Figure 3 adjacent to the platform 24 and used in conjunction with that platform.' I
The platforms are designed for vertical movement starting from their lowermost position whenthe first layer of material is deposited upon the kiln truck 19, and they are gradually elevated or lifted, as the stack rises under formation, to their uppermost positionsas indicated in Figures 1 and 2.
The three platforms are eaclrsuspenclecl by frames 25, or 25 for the intermediate 2 platform, from a vertically movable, horizontally disposed, rectangular stacking frame made up of a pair of end beams 26 26 and two side beams 27 27. beams which project beyond the side beam 27 are fixed in suitable manner each to a vertical slide head 28 28 which heads are guided in their vertical movement by the respective posts or uprights 1 and 2.
The stacking frame is suspended by cables 29 29 which are attached at 30 to the respective heads and these hoisting cables pass upwardly over pulleys 31 on the elevating shaft 32 which is journaled in bearings 33 at the upper ends of the posts 1 and 2. One
of the cables, as 29 (see Fig. 2) also passes around an idle pulley 34: and thence over a driven pulley 35 on the elevating shaft and back to a driving pulley 36 supported in a yoke 37 onthe end of a piston rod 38 having a piston (not shown) in the hydraulic cylinder 39. .Pipes 10 and l'provide the proper connections for the motive fluid to the cylmder for hoisting and lowering the stacking platforms and frame. A control The end valve 40 for the motive fluid (Figs. 1 and 2) in connection with the pipes 40 and 41, is operable from the platform 22, in any position, by the man standing thereon, who manipulates a valve rod 41 This rod has a hand lever 42 at its upper end and at its lower end has a socket head43 for engagement with the valve 40 and the rod is of 19, are separated in layers by successive tiers of spacing sticks 21 and the central longitudinal fine 20 is formed in the stack with a wide, open base, and a closed narrow top, by means of automatically operated guides carried on the stacking frame, as will. now be described.
These guides are arranged in pairs, one pair being carried by each of the end beams 26 26', and another pair carried by a beam forming I part of the intermediate plat forxi. Each guide comprises a pair of opposed, flanged metallic plates 16 and 47 having perforations and reversed screw threads 'for the complementary right and left-hand threaded screw bars48, 19,- and 50. The guide plates are' retained and guided each in a'slot 51 of the guide-supports, and the screw bars are journaled to revolve in bearings 52. The end screw bars '18 and 49 extend over to the respective heads 28 and 23 'andeach bar, is provided with a "ack wheel as 53 which is rotated or revolved with its screw bar as the wheel travels upwardly or downwardly in contact with a vertical rack bar 54, one secured at the outer 47 are spaced apart their maximum dis-' tance for indicating the position of the inner boards of the'two sections of the first layer of the stack deposited upon the kiln truck 19.
As the stacking platform gradually rises under propulsion from the hydraulic jack,
and through the action of the rack bars,
rack wheels and screw bars, the guide plates are gradually brought together in order that when the stacking frame rises to its maximum height as in Figure 1, the guide plates are at their minimum distance apart. By using these plates as guides the men are enabled to stack the timber with facility as eases-e indicated in Figure 1 to form the flueQO: for use in the kiln. After the stack is completed andthe loaded truck disposed of, the guide plates are automatically separated to their.
maximum distance asthe stacking frame descends to 1ts lowermost position.
' These stick-guides comprise channel plates form, form a. carriage whiohis movable lonspaced at regular intervals .in two complementary series on the inner. sides ot the two beams 27 and 2:. Thegu-lde :plates are disposed in vertical position and are in terchangeable and adjustable. Each guide plate is provided \vitha pair rot-spaced heads ed bolts 56 and these headed bolts are adapted to engage thecomplementary )air,0f-keyhole slots 57 on the frameabazrs 27 2.7i11order that the guide plates may with 'faei lity be attached ordetached with relation to. their supports, and adjusted at warlous distances apart along the inner sides of the beams.
The sticks 21 which are uniform inlength are dropped into position "on thextruck or.
on the stack, withtheir ends passing through a pair of complementary guide' plates toin-n sure their proper position and uniform spacing at proper lntervalslalong thestack. As
each layer of planks is laid: longitudinally oi" the truck, a tier of sticks is quickly laid transversely of the i planks,'-until the stack is completed as indicated in Figure =1. .Then the top open end of the-flue 20 is closed by a single plank ;to :form a barrier against a direct upd aft through the flue. Bythisiarspaces betweenlayers of xplanlnrthe heated aircurrents :in the l 1lI1lF8 caused tounove distribution of the air-currents, and. consee quent e'iliciency, indrymg the material.

The screw bar-50 'oztt'he carriage passes though a slot--62 .in the .side beanrQZ, and the chain 159 isisuppoirted on sprocket wheels one of the end, screw bars, as 49 of the maehi ne,and revolvedtheretrom.
vThe sprocket w heel 63 at the other end of the endless chain is jou rnaled in a yoke 65 which has a suitable suspending bar 66 slid-ably supported in a bracket 67 'on the beam 217 A spring '68 is coiled about the slidebar and interposed between the bracket 67 andran adjusting nut. 69 on the threaded end of the adjusting-bar. The sprocket. wheel as thus suspended in,:a tensiondevice to adjusted position when short lengths of material are to be handled.
