G. G. KEENE. I AUTOMATIC FEEDING MECHANISM.

GEORGE O. KEENE, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, ASSIGNOR .OF TlVO-THIRDS TO LONGLEY L. SAGENDORPH AND HARLAN P. LLOYD, BOTH OF SAME PLACE.

AUTOMAT IC FEEDING MECHANiSM.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 367,527, dated August 2, 1887.

Application filed May 25, 1887. Serial No. 239,294. (No model.)

T all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE O. KEENE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oincinnati, in the county of Hamilton, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Automatic Feeding Mechanisms, of which the following is a specification.

The several features of my invention and I0 the advantages arising from their use, conjointly or otherwise, will be apparent from the following description.

In the accompanying drawi ngs,forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective I5 view of a machine for corrugating sheet metal provided with my improved feeding mechanism. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the right hand end of the machine, as shown in Fig. 1, the end frame being removed. Fig. 3 is an e1evation of the left=haud end of the machine. Fig. 4 is a view illustrating the means for securing the striking-pin in the roller.

The device is particularly useful in corrn gatingmachines of the type shown, but may also be applied to other machines requiring a similar feed. The rolls A-are suitably mounted in j ournal-boxcs in the side frames, B. The rolls shown are provided with two sets of corrngating-ridges, one set, a, being fine,

the other set, a, being coarse. There are usually blanhs a? between the two sets of corrugating-ridges.

The stationary table D is supportedin front of the rolls in any suitable manner, as by the table E, in such a position as tends to draw bracket 0. The sliding table E rests on the the table E away from the rolls. The sliding table E is preferablyprovided with the gage E.

This arran ement )ermits the )in P to be ad justed with relation to the center of the roll.

The mode of operation of the device is as follows: The sheet to be corrugated is placed on table E,against the gage E, its other edge projecting beyond the table toward the rolls. 6 The machine is now set in motion, the gearing being so arranged as to turn the rolls in the direction indicated by the arrows in Fig. 2. When the pin P strikes the arm f of the lever F, the latter is depressed and causes the arm f to throw the sliding table Etoward the rolls. This movement of the table E carries the sheet of metal inward until it is grasped by the rolls and crimped between them. The mechanism is so adjusted that the sheet is placed between the rolls just at the beginning of the corrugations. By changing the pin P to the other side of the center of the rolls the -sheet of metal is moved forward in time to be crimped by the other set ofcorrngations. 8o

\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of the stationary table D, sliding table E, bent lever F, having short arm f, connected to table E, long arm f, and 8 means for operating the bent lever F, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

2. The combination of the stationary table D, sliding table E, bent lever F, having short arm f, connected to table E, and long arm f, 0 and roll A, provided with pin P, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

3. In a corrugating machine, the combination of rolls A A, provided with corrugations a a and blanks a table D, sliding table E, arm f, roll A, provided with transverse slot bent lever F, and roll A, provided with ada, and pin P, adjustable in said slot all subjustable pin 1, substantially as and for the stantially as and for the purposes specified.
