IMPROVEMENT IN FRICTIQN-WINDLASSES F OR BARRELS, KEGS, 8ac.
Specification forming part of ,Letters Patent No. [70,203, dated November 23, 1875; application filed July 6, 1875.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known thatI, ALONZO D. STOUT, of
St. Louis, county of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented an Improved Friction-Windlass for Barrels, Kegs, &c., of which the following is a specification:
It is well known that a. Windlass is used to operate upon an unfinished barrel (that is, when same has its staves only hooped at the lower end) in order to draw in the upper end ofthe staves or head of barrel, and shape the same to the required barrel form.
The use of the ordinary Windlass for thebarrels, casks, kegs, &c., and by the use whereof the difficulties and disadvantages above stated are avoided.
Of the drawing, Figure l is a side elevation,
. showing my improved Windlass operating" upon a barrel. :Fig. 2 is a top plan of my invention. Fig. 3 is an end elevation thereof.
A is the frame, constructed as usual, and
upon which my improved operating parts are mounted as follows B (see the figures) is an adjustable frame, hinged at b to the upright part of the frame A. The frame B I further connect by proper rods b to the end of a treadle-lever, B as shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The rear end of lever B properly connects to a foot-treadle, B (See Figs. 1 and 3.)
By, therefore, operating the foot-treadle the hinged frame B can be raised or lowered-an advantageous feature, as will hereinafter appear. 1
The hinged frame B carries a large frictionwheel, 0, which is mounted upon the outer end of a shaft, 0, which has its bearings in proper journals secured to said frame B. (See figures.) By raising the adjustable frame B it carries the large wheel 0 with it, and causes it to come in friction contact with an upper driving friction-wheel, D. (See Figs. 2 and 3.)
The driving-wheel D is keyed to an upper shaft, d, which turns in proper journal-brackets d secured to the upright frame A. d is the belt-wheel on shaft d, and by means thereof it is connected to a power-source, by which the by the operator in the frame A, with the loop of the wire-rope round the head of the barrel, as indicated in Fig. 1. He next operates the foot-treadle, so that the frame B causes its wheel 0 to be raised, so as to establish friction contact with the driving friction-wheellD. This done, the Windlass immediately revolves and causes the wire-rope to wind round the barrel, drawing in its staves until the barrel assumes its required form and shape. The top hoops being placed on the barrel, it is ready to be released and taken away from the Windlass, and for this purpose the operator needs simply to release the foot-treadle, causing the frame B and its wheel G to immediately drop to original position, and as the Windlass is then out of frictional contact with power-source, the wire-rope instantly releases itself from the barrel.
It will he, therefore, noticed that the dropgravity feature above described enables the operator to release the Windlass from the power-source immediately, and that this sud-.
den release unwinds the wire-rope quickly, and consequently the barrel is released immediately. Thus a great saving in time is had, enablingthe Windlass to operate upon a greater number of barrels than by the old means can possibly be accomplished. These new results are further due to the fact of my arrangement of frictional contact with power-source, whereas the usual Windlass of this class has gearing or tooth wheels, the operation of which incurs, as before stated, loss of time, extra labor, and expense.
What I claim is The combination of the friction-wheels G D,
the drop-gravity frame B, its connection to a foot-treadle, B the rope 01 said parts being constructed and arranged to form a Windlass In testimony of said invention I have hereof the character herein shown and described, unto set my hand.
and by means whereof said rollers can be instantly placed in or out of friction contact, ALONZO STOUTY and the gravity of said frame B is utilized to Witnesses:
unwind said rope, in the manner and for the WILLIAM W. HERTHEL,
purpose set forth. CHAS. F. MEISNER.
