WM. FOSTER, OF DETROIT, MIGHIGN.
MACEFIINE FOR CUTTING SHINGLES.
Spe'cication of Letters Patent No. 2,853, dated November 21, 1842.
T 0 all whom t may concern Be it known that I, VILLIAH FOSTER, of the city of Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have made certain improvements in the manner of combining, regulating, and adjusting the knives and revolving table used in machines for the cutting of shingles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and eXact description thereof.
There are several dili'erent machines for cutting shingles, in which the knives, or cutters, are att-ached to a table that is made t0 revolve, either horizontally, or vertically;
the bolts, or blocks` from which the shin-l gles are to be cut, being borne up against said knives by suitable devices. My improvement is applicable to all the shingle machines that operate upon this principle, and although in describing the manner 1n which I carry my improvement into eect, I shall describe an apparat-us for holding the bolts, or blocks, so as to present them to the knives with the table revolving horizontally, it is to be distinctly understood that I do not make claim to this part as of my invention, but limit the same to the particular manner in which I combine the knives with said table, and regulate their act-ion; and that I claim this improvement whether applied to the particular kind of machine herein described and represented, or to any other in which suoli a revolving table and cutters can be employed.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1, is a perspective view of a machine. in which the table that carriesthe knives is made to revolve horizontally byl the application of any adequate power.
A, is the table, which may be of cast-iron, and is sustained on an aXis B, B. The bolts, or blocks, from which the shingles are to be cut, are, in this machine, to be placed in troughs C, C, as shown at D, and in ad dition to their own gravity they may be pressed down by levers E,E, which may be weighted, if necessary.
Fig. 2, is a top view of my improved table, with the knives, or cutters, and what I denominate the circular gages, in place. Fig. 3, is a similar View, with the circular knivesare in the same horizontal plane, the
heads and points of the shingles being regulated by the setting of the circular gages.
G, G, are grooves turned in the table, and H, H the circular gages, which are litted to these grooves, and are held, and adjusted, in them by means of suit-able set screws; a, a, are slots, or openings, through the table, and through which pins, made fast to the circular gages, by riveting or otherwise` pass, and receive washers, and nuts tapped on to their lower ends, by which the gages are held down; b, o, are the points of set screws, tapped through the table, and bearing against the under sides of the circular gages,
by which means they may be set as required, in order to determine the thickness of the shingle. The curved parts of the circular gages are connected to a straight bar YH', which serves to regulate the throats of the knives, or cutters, and which may be moved up toward their edges as they are diminished in width` by wearing and grinding. The backs of the knives are ,made to bear permanently against a stationary part of the table I, I.
The circular gages are made to rise,yal0ng their whole length, above the general surface A, A, of the table, and'serve as ways upon which the bolts` or blocks, are sus-l my improvement in the manner of combin* ing, regulating, and adjusting the knives,` and revolving table, used in machines for the cutting of shingles, what I claim therein? in place, and adjusted, by set screws,'and
serving as Ways to sustain the bolts, or 10 blocks, the Whole being formed, and operating, substantially as herein set forth.
WM. FOSTER.
