`UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WM. L. WILLIAMS, 0F NEWv YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND THO. J. OGONNOR, OE SAMEPLACE.
MACHINE FOR BUNDLING WOOD.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 28,243, dated May 8, 1860.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known thatI, WILLIAM L. VILLIAMS, of the city and State of New York, have invented, made, and applied to use certain new and useful Improvements in Means for Bundling Kindling Wood; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of my said invention, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making part of this specification, wherein- Figure 1, is aplan of my said machine. Fig. 2, is a vertical section of the same, and Fig. 3, is a side elevation of the aw for holding and twisting the wire.
Similar marks of reference indicate the same parts.
My present invention relates to parts that I have improved and perfected for operation in machines for bundling kindling wood, and they become improvements upon the machines for which I have heretofore obtained Letters Patent, one under date of November 15th 1859, and the other under date of August 16th 1859.
I apply a series of holding clamps to pre-` vent the wood falling over as the bundle is separated from the mass of wood in the:
trough. I also use feeding and sustaining slides that give motion to the wood, and also.`
aid in forming the bundle and keeping the wood in a proper upright position. The wire that is passed around the wood is held in a peculiar jaw and twisted until the bundle is tightly secured.
In the drawing a, is a trough in which the kindling wood is placed by hand, or passed from the splitting machine; b, is a slide that is actuated by hand or any convenient mechanism that coming up behind the wood forces the same along in the trough and against the curved end of the trough at 0,) so as to place the wood in position for forming a bundle, and one bundle is shown at Z as separated and raised up by means of a follower (e) the same as shown in my patent of November 15th 1859 on which this is an improvement.
In order to prevent the end pieces of wood falling down as the mass is forced along, I employ the slide f that is made with a semicircular end corresponding with the diameter of the bundle of wood. This slide f is projected by means of the arm g on the shaft lt, on which a spring i acts, so that so `so that the follower in rising will not take the same, I give a partial-revolution to the shaft z., at the proper time in the direction of the arrow, by hand or suitable automatic .w i,
mechanism, and draw the slide f entirely back.
The kindling wood has been kept from falling over by a straight clamp acting on the ends thereof, but where a circular bundle is separated from the mass, the pieces near the edge of the trough would not be held up `by said straight clamp, 1I therefore make use of a series .of spring `holding clamps 7c, la, set Ona fulcrum.1,;and a pressed .to the ends `of the wood by 'the springs 2, 2, and `by the curved form given to the ends of this series of clamps, 'thee wood is sustained all around the place from which a bundlehas been taken.
Z, is a jaw for twisting the wire4 somewhat similar to that in myaforesaid .;patent, the jaws beingclosed by a -sliding conical ring 3 actuated by hand or otherwise. My improved jaw is however shown lat m, Figs. 1 and 3. The same is formed by a shaft (m having jaws 4, 4, at the end, to receive the wire as represented by red lines.
5, is a follower set to slide in a groove in m, and having a block 6, near the end thereof; the operator passes a wire around the bundle and draws the ends into the jaws 4L, he then slides up the follower 5, the block 6, of which lls the jaws and holds the wire firmly while the shaft m is revolved suiciently to twist and tighten the wire around the bundle of wood. The shaft m., and jaws may be revolved by hand or by mechanism applied to the wheel 7.
In cases where the wood has been Sulliciently consolidated int-o a bundle (by the band o, or otherwise) I find it preferable not to pull on the wire to tighten the bundle as the jaw 4, revolves and crosses the wire (shown by red lines) as set forth in my aforesaid patent of Nov. 15, 1859, because the bundle being solid is apt to cause the wire to break, I therefore introduce a jaw or jaws 1', shown in plan Fig. et, and in elevation Fig. 5, the same setting as closely to the wood as convenient and the wire is led through this jaw 1^, before being passed to the jaw 4', so that on revolving/the said Jaw 4', the twisting of the wire commences at the bundle of wood and unnecessary strain on the said wire in pulling the bundle tight is avoided.
The jaw r', may be formed in the diverging manner shown, so that the wires will come near each other by being drawn down into the same, but if `more convenient the sides of this aw might be moved back and forth by suitable mechanism so as to bring the parts of the wire near to each other before twisting. Y
In order to compress the bundle of kindling wood (after it has been separated from the mass by the follower e, or otherwise) I make use of an expansive band or wire 0, one end of which is attached to the machine, the other end to a lever p. 'Ihe natural expansion of this band when un* acted on, or a spring applied to the lever 77,.
causes said band to assume a sutliciently large diameter to allow the bundle of wood d, to be passed thereinto, when upon drawing said band by the lever p, or otherwise it compresses and effectually packs the bundle into a tight mass. Two of these bands might surround the bundle and be pulled u on in opposite directions.
By re erence to my aforesaid patents it will be apparent how the present Vimprovements thereon could be applied and operated either by the use of automatic machinery, or be moved by hand power applied to any or all of the parts, for which reasons the representation of automatic machinery, or of the parts shown in my aforesaid patents is rendered unnecessary.
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A series of clamps la, acting on the ends of the split kindling wood contiguous to the place from which the bundle is removed for holding up the mass of wood as set forth,
2. I claim the sliding follower b, in the trough a, for moving the wood along in said trough and conveying Vit into the bun-v dling a paratus, as specified.
I c aim the yielding semi circular supporting slides f, taking the sides of the pieces of kindling wood as they stand in VYthe trough a, and assisting inV gathering being twisted, as and for the purposes set fort Y 6. I claim one or more expansive ring bands yor wires applied to compress the wood into a compact bundle by drawing upon and tightening t-he said band or wire for the purposes and as set forth.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my signature this thirty first day of March 1860.
W. L. WILLIAMS.
