IMPROVEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF BUCKETS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 179,655, dated July 11, 1876; application filed March 7, 1876.

of saws on a mandrel, guides on the table'` for the wood, cone feed-rollers, to feed the blank onto the saws, and pressure-rollers, to hold the blank onto the chine-grooving saw, as more fully set forth in the annexed claims.

Figure l represents a plan view of my iinproved bucket-machine. Fig'. 2 is a sectional view ofthe same. Fig. 3 represents the stave complete. Fig. 4 is an end view of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 represents the bucket as formed by my improved machine.

C represents the table-top, mounted on any ordina-ry frame-work, to which is secured the saw-mandrel P by suitable boxesR R1 R2. On the mandrel I?, at its outer end, is secured the driving-pulley 1)', and between the boxes R1 and R2 are secured, as shown, the two outside dished saws L L1, with the small grooving dished saw L2 located at the proper distance from saw L to cut the groove a in the stave for the bottom of the bucket to be secured in. On the top of the table O are arranged curved guides E K K'. The guide E is set far enough back to allow the corners of the blank A' to engage with it, as shown, so as to allow the saws L L1 to cnt out the segment embraced between the dotted lines b b' of the blank A'. The curved guides K K' are arranged on the table opposite the curved guide E, and their inner faces are designed to be on a line with the dished saws L L', so as to receive and guide the segment A while the saws L Ll are cutting, and to guide said segment after the blank A'v has lei't'the feed-rollers F.

The feed-roller F is made cone-shaped, and is covered with rubber, and the boxes H H', in which the feed-roller shaft G operates, are arranged so that the shaft Gr radiates from the common center ofthe curved guides .stave,as shown in Fig. 5. Y

By the addition of an extra grooving-saw,

E K K', and the rear box H' is elevatedl suflciently above the box H to allow the lower edge ot' the cone feed-roller F to lie ilat with the table. Immediately under the feed-roller F is another roller, secured in the table, and the blank A' is fed to the saws between the feed-roller F and the roller under it. The feed-roller F is operated by the pulley J, as shown.

The bar D is secured to the table in front, as shown in Fig. l, and more fully in Fig. 2, and its inner end is elevated, so as to pass over the dished saw L; and on the end ot' the bar D is journaled -the pressure-wheel O, which is designed to hold the segment-stave A down onto the grooving-saw L2, as shown in Fig. 2, and to prevent the segment-stave A from sticking, or hindering the feed-roller F from forcing the segment through, I employ a small frictional roller, S, embedded in the table immediately under the pressureroller O, as shown.

'Io operate my improved machine, power s applied to the pulleys P' and J, and,"as the saws L L1 L2 and feed-roller F revolve, the blanks A' are fed to the saw, as shown in Fig. l. The feed-roller F forces the blank A' onto the saws, and the segment A is formed with the groove a., as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, after which the segment-staves A are jointed and sized, and, when trussed up and -hooped with the bottom in, forms a bucket of one L2, to form a groove at the other end of the stave, I can make mackerel-kits with heads at both ends.

That I claim as new, and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a machine for the -manufacture of buckets, Sto., the combination of the saws L L1 L2, mandrel I), feed-roller F, mandrel G, boxes H H', and curved guides E K K', in the manner shown, for the purposes set forth and described.

2. The feedroller F, formed cone-shaped,

and provided with a rubber tube,in the manner shown, and arranged to operate in the boxes H H, the rear box being elevated, so as to allow the lower edge ofthe cone feed-roller F to lie parallel with the table, for the purposes set forth and described.

3. In a bucket-machine, the combination of the pressure-bar D and roller O, arranged and adapted to be operated in connection with the stave A and small roller S, in the manner shown, for the purposes set forth and described.
