WVILLIAM FRANKLIN FIDLER, OF ROCK GAVE, W'EST VIRGINIA.
LOG-TURNER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 307,934, dated November 11, 1884.
Application filed August 9, 1884.
To (ZZZ whom, it may concern-.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM FRANKLIN FIDLER, of Rock Cave, in the county of Upshur and State of \Vest Virginia, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Log-Turners for Saw-Mills, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description, reference being bad to the annexed drawings, forming part thereof.
My invention relates to an improvement in log-turners; and it consists in the means, hereinafter described, for preventing the log from sliding laterally out of place while being turned.
In the drawings, Figure l is an elevation, and Fig. 2 a plan view, of part of a sawmill, showing my invention.
A indicates the saw; B, the sawarbor; O, the log-carriage; D, the track, and E the log on the carriage.
On the frame F, supporting the saw-arbor, I erect two standards, G H, to the upper end of one of which is pivoted a hand-lever, I. In the other standard, and in the handlever near its pivot, is journaled a drum, J, having a friction-wheel, K, secured ther eto, which is adapted, by the depression of the lever, to be placed in contact with a grooved frictionwheel, L, secured to the saw-arbor.
To the drum J is attached a rope, M, which is carried over apulley, N, hung near the upper end of a standard, 0, and thence over a pulley, 1?, hung from a support, Q, above the log, which support maybe a girder of the sawmill shed, and thence down and under a pulley, R, to the block of which pulley a hook, S, is attached by a chain, T, and thence-up (N0 model.)
again to the support Q, to which it is secured. The chain T is passed under the log, and the hook S is sunk into the upper surface of the same, to connect the tackle therewith. With this construction, when the rope is wound on the drum J, the log will be turned on the carriage. The carriage Ois-shown provided with knees or head-blocks in the usual manner, which support the log so as to prevent lateral movement away from the saw. To prevent the log sliding out of place in the opposite (lateral) direction during the act of turning the same, I connect two handspikes, U V, to ropes W Y, which are attached to the support Q on opposite sides of the pulley P. The ropes are of such length that they will support the upperends of the handspikes when their lower ends are inserted under the side of thelog. The handspikes, being thus supported against the log, will prevent the latter from sliding when being turned. The support Q is provided with hooks Z, on which the ropes W Y are to be hung to hold the spikes out of 60 U V, the ropes W Y, to which the latter are attached, and a support or frame, from which said ropes are pendent, as shown and described, for the purpose specified.
