ARTHUR w. JONES, OF OSHKOSH, WISOONSIN,
MATCH-SPLINT STRAIGHTENER.
PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 314,680, dated March 31, 1885.
Application filed September 10, 1884. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, ARTHUR W. Jones, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oshkosh, in the county of WVinnebago and State of lVisconsin, have inverted certain new and useful Improvements in Splint-Straighteners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompany ing drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a device by which match or other splints which are promiscuously intermixed together may, by shaking, be arranged closely and compactly. together parallel with each other preparatory to being placed in boxes or packages.
In the accompanying drawings, Figurel represents a perspective view, part in section, of my invention, showing the splint-receptacle partially withdrawn from the frame. Fig. 2 is a Vertical section drawn on line as a" of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a vertical section drawn on line 3 y of Fig. 1, showing the splint-receptacle in position for use.
Like parts are represented by the same reference-letters throughout the several views.
A represents a rectangular frame, which is open at its bottonmaud provided with a series oflongitudinally-arranged partitions, B B, and
a series of transverse partitions, O O, by which the frame is subdivided into numerous receptacles, D D. The shape of the receptacles D is such that the splints can enter them only as they become arranged lengthwise of the receptacle, the length'of the splints being such as to prevent them entering or lying crosswise of such receptacles.
Around the mouth or upper edge of the frame A is an outward and upward projecting flange, E,which serves to increase the capacity of the frame and prevent the splints which are deposited thereon from being shaken therefrom.
The partitions G are made of two pieces of thin materiahor of a single piece so folded at its upper edge as to leave open spaces a within them for the reception of the partitions b of the splint-receptacle F,which enter them when such splintreceptacle is placed beneath and around such frame preparatory to being filled with splints, as shown in the several drawings. The partitions I) extend entirely across th e spli lit-receptacle. and are all secured at their respective ends to the sides of such receptacle. The receptacle F is slightly longer and wider than the frame A, and is adapted to fit around and inclose such frame, while the partitions I) enter the spaces a in the partitions O of the frame. Thus it is obvious that as thesplints which have been thrown promiscuously upon the partitions ofthe frame A become, by shaking or otherwise, arranged so as to drop into the receptacle D, they fall down through the open bottom of said frame A between the partitions b of the receptacle F, and also that as it is impossible for said splints to enter the receptacle D except only as they become arranged parallel to each other lengthwise of such receptacle D they are all necessarily caused to become arranged parallel to each other, as required, between the several partitions of the receptacle F. \Vhen the desired quantity of splints has thus been arranged in the receptacle, the frame A is readily raised out of and withdrawn from the receptacle F; or the receptacle F may be lowered and withdrawn from the frame, leaving all the splints arranged parallel to each other, as mentioned, between the several partitions b of such receptacle, when another receptacle may be used in its stead and the operation repeated.
The apparatus may be shaken by hand or by mechanical appliances, as indicated. In the latter case the frame is provided with a crank-arm, G, which is attached at one end of the frame A by lugs d and pin h, and at the other end to a crank operated by any ordinary motive power. l
The receptacle F may be supported by ways at its sides or upon a frame or table, as most convenient.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, ahddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination of the open-bottom rectangular frame A, provided with the rectangular partitions B and G, with the receptacle F, provided with'partitions b, forming a series of larger compartments for the reception of the of the partitions b of the receptacle F, provid- 1o straightened matches as they escape from the ed with partition I), as set forth. several smaller compartments of the superim- In testimony whereof I affiX my signature posed frame A when said frame is uplifted, in presence of two witnesses. 5 as set forth. a
