SLAB-SAWING :vulcan-mala.r
SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 290,589, dated December 18, 1883. Application iiled October 16,1883. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.:
Be it known that I, JOHN Br. LEMIEUX, of Muskegon, in the county of Muskegon and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Slab-Cutting Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in edging and slab cutters, especially designed for use in saw-mills where it is desired to cut su ch edgings of slabs into uniform lengths.
The invention consists in the peculiar construction of the parts and their combination, as more fully hereinafter described.
Figure l is a plan viewof the top of my improved machine. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same, or a vertical cross-section at any point between the two ends.
In the accompanying drawings, which 4form a part of this specification, A A represent cylinders squared upon portions of the periphery, so that in cross -section such cylinder through the center .would be a parallelogram, and by cutting away the necessary portions to make such parallelogram hooks or ledges a, eX- tending the whole length of the cylinders, are formed. These cylinders are journaled side by side in a suitable frame carrying bearings B, so that there is but a small interval between such cylinders.
C represents a table, the oor of the mill, or any suitable carriers, upon which the slabs or edgings fall on beingl cut, whence they fall down the inclined plane D. The cylinders are provided with gears E, meshing together, and driven by a gea-r, F, meshing with one of the gears E, and secured to a counter-shaft, which is driven from any suitable source of power.
H is an arbor, suitably journaled immediately over the center of, the frame which carries the cylinders, and upon this arbor are secured at proper intervals circular saws I, and the saw-arbor is driven by means of a pulley, J, on one end of said arbor from any suitable source of power, the whole being so arranged that slabs or edgings sliding down the inclined planes D are taken up by the hook-ledges a, and by the rotation of the cylinders A carried into contact with the saws I, which cut such edgings or slabs into the proper lengths, and in the further rotation of the cylinders they are discharged in the interval between such cylinders upon a carrier, K, to any desired part of the mill or yard.
In the drawings the device is shown with two cylinders, two iioors, and two inclined planes. It is evident, however, that one of the cylinders, floors, and inclined planes may be dispensed with, and the machine is onlyrequired to be made double, as shown, when a large amount of work is to be presented to it. The single machine, with one cylinder, one inoline, and one door, will perform one-half the work that will be performed by the device as presented.
It is obvious that the cylinders A A may be constructed in various ways and of various forms without departing from the spirit of my` invention, so long as means are provided by which such cylinders in their rotation will take the slabs from the inclined ways and present and hold them to the saws to be out into desired lengths.
1What I claim as my invention is- I. In a slab-cutting machine, the combination of the saws I with the revolving cylinders A, having ledges a formed thereon, constructed to take the slabs and present them to the action of the saws, substantially as described.
' 2. In combination, the inclined plane D, revolving cylinder A, having ledges formed thereon arranged to take the slabs from the inclined plane, and circular saws I, constructed to operate on the slabs supported by the cylinder, the acting parts being driven from any suitable source of power, arranged and operating substantially as and for the purposes described.
