GUARD FOR SAWING MACHINES AND PLANERS.
Application filed January 20, 1925. Serial No. 3,603.
The present invention contemplates a portable housing adapted to completely cover a saw or gang of saws and so constructed that a loosened knot, splinter, or fragment of material, cannot be ejected from the housing either from contact with the sawor from the binding of the saw with the material, and cause trouble-of any nature, such as, for instance, the breaking of windows, lighting fixtures, etc., in line with the saw, or injure the operator.
The invention further contemplates a hinged hood operative with and forming a part of the guard, and so constructed that it maybe released and permit a saw or gang of saws to be removed or placed upon the arbor without inconvenience.
It further contemplates a means for safeguarding the throat or entrance immedi ately forward of the rotating blades of a planer, so that fragments or pieces of material entering through my improved guard cannot react and create trouble for the operator, as is of common occurrence where adequateprovision is not made for the safeguarding of the person attending the ma chine.
My invention further contemplates a means thoroughly efiicient for the safeguarding of the machine to which the guard is attached, for insuring absolute safety for the operator whether he be in front, at the rear, or at the side of the machine, and whereby if a saw breaks, or material in passing through the guard; becomes splintered or broken, the parts will not escape the guard to the injury of the attendant or the shop fixtures.
Laws are becoming more and more exacting in their provisions for safeguarding the public, not alone as to sanitary and other conditions, "butalso in the application of various devices to apparatus for insuring the utmost physical safety to operators in the shops of our country, and to this end the present invention is especially constructed.
the outer bearing of thesaw arbor removed,
and shows my invention with its hood. section swung back in position for placing or removing the saws.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view inmodification of the guard as provided for planers.
Fig. 5 is a broken, detail side View of the guard and shows the pivotal guard fingers at the entrance to the housing.
Fig. 6 is a side view of an ordinary sawing machine with my guard in modification covering the saw, and Fig. 7 is a'plan view of Fig. 6 showing a side adjusting means by which lumber may be sawed into "various widths.
Like marks of reference refer to corresponding or equivalent parts in the views, in which the table A, its frame B, arborC, saws D, feed rollers 1, their sprocket wheels, the drive chains 3, motor 4 and its driving belts 5 and 6, constitute the gang sawing machine to which my guard E is attached; As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the saw is of a gang type, wherein the saws D operate through a cut-out or opening 7 in the table, and rotate on an arbor G mounted at its outer end in a detachable bracket 8 fitted to a suitable bearing 9 on the frame B.
The guard for saw purposes comprises a jointed housing 10 and 11 and a series of hinged finger guards 12 suspended over the front entrance to the housing. The housing is designed to completely cover the saws D in such manner that in the event of a tooth breaking from a saw, or the saw itself breaking, a knot, splinter or part of timber be coming loose and being hurled from the saw in any direction will not escape the housing. to create trouble or injure the attendant. As shown, the housing is jointed immediately forward of the saws and is provided with a pintle 13 passing through appropriate lugs Hand 15 of the parts. At places where the upper feed-roller shafts are positioned, the left hand side of the housing (as herein shown). is provided with slot-s ac which permit the housin to set over said shafts and seat onthe saw tidble The forward portion 10 of the housing is made fast to the sawtable by Jmeans of cap 1 ehine'into:appropriate i'chu't'e sexes, etc;
