MECHANICAL MOVEMENT.

SPEGIFICATIONforming part'of Letters Patent No. 444,285, dated January 6, 1891.

7 Application filed September 4, 1390.

Be it known that I, ALBIN WARTH, a cititon, in the county of Richmond and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Mechanical Movements, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain improvements in that class of mechanical movements which I have described in Letters Patent No. 390,926, granted to me October 9, 1888, and the object of which is to impart motion to a tool or implement which while in action has to be moved from one place to another such, for instance, as a polishing or grinding wheel for cutting out garments.

The improvements which form the subjectmatter of this present application for a patentare pointed out in the following specifi- Figure 1 represents a plan or top View. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section in the plane a; 00, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a partial vertical section on a larger scale than the previous figures, the plane of section being indicated by the line y y, Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a section in the plane z 2, Figs. 1 and 6. Fig. 6 is a section in the plane a .2, Fig. 5. Fig.7 is a sectional view of acuttingmy invention on a larger scale than the previous figures.

In the drawings,the letters A Adesignate work to be operated upon. Between these cured to one of the tables or to the floor or walls, as circumstances may require. This may be provided with two or more wheels ct a,

able means. In the example illustrated in the drawings the carriage is provided with a two wheels 0 0, Figs. 2 and 3, and these wheels are brought to act upon the opposite sides of smart. 363,884. (No model.)

a flat rail d which runs parallel with the rail B. By these means the carriage D is free to move from one end of the rail B to the other, it is always kept in an upright position, and it leaves the entire surface of the table or tables free for the adjustment of the work.

From the carriage D extends an arm E,approximately at right angles to the rail B. This arm,which I shall hereinafter designate as the supporting-arm, is fastened to the carriage by means of a screw-bolt 6. (Best seen in Fig. 4.) This screw-bolt extends through a bracket e, which is provided with a tubular projection 6 and in order to retain said arm at right angles to the rail B a latch fis provided, which is secured to the inner end of the arm by a set-screw g. hen the latch is raised, the supporting-arm E can be adjusted at any desired angle to the rail, and when the nut of the screw-bolt e is released the supporting-arm can swivel on the tubular projection e This movement is of advantage for certain manipulations. In the example represented in the drawings the supporting-arm E extends at right-angles to the rail B over the table A, and its outer end serves to support the balance-arm F. The connection withthe supporting-armE is eifected by a plate 6 and a bracket 6 which is provided with lugs 6 Figs. 3, .5, and (3, and-by a plate f", which is secured to the balance-arm and provided with lugs f, which straddle the lugs c and are connected to the same by pivots f slot f through which extends a screw-bolt f, so that it can be moved in the direction of its length upon the plate f and-adj usted in the required position by tightening the nut of the screw-bolt f. The plate e and the bracket c are connected by a pivot a, so that the balance-arm F can be turned in a horizontal plane on this pivot 6 while it is free to swing in a vertical plane on the pivots f 2 f On one end of the balance-arm is secured the tool G and on its opposite end is fast ened a motor H, such as an electromotor or a pneumatic motor, from which motion is imparted to a shaft I, which is mounted in the In the balance-arm is formed a balancearm and from which motion is transmitted to the tool G. In the example shown in the drawings this tool is a cutting-tool for cutting out garments, such as shown and described in Letters Patent No. 380,062 and 380,963, granted to me April 10, 1888, and a reciprocating motion is imparted to this tool from the shaft I by means of a pitman I. (See Figs. 1 and 7.) This pitman engages a crank 8, formed on the shaft I, and it connects with a bell-crank lever 9, which engages a sleeve 10, fitted upon a pillar 12 and engaging lugs 13, which project from the shank of the cutter let. A tool may, however, be used which requires a revolving motion and the means fol-transmitting such mo tion to the tool from the shaft I will readily suggest themselves to any ordinary machinist.

It will be readily seen from the description that the motor II forms a balance to the tool G, and by adjusting the balance-arm in the direction of its length by means of the slot f and screw-bolt f the pressure exerted by the tool upon the table or upon the work over which it moves can be adjusted. At the same time byconnecting the balance-arm F to the inner end of the supporting-arm E, I am enabled to move the tool over a table of considerable width with a comparatively short balance arm, and when the tool is being moved over the table that end of the balancearm which supports the motor does notswing beyond the edge of the table A, so that it will not interfere with the work of persons engaged near the said table. Furthermore, by connecting the supporting-arm It to the traveling carriage D, I am enabled to move my tool oy'cr every part of the table. According to the nature of the work, the carriage I) may be held stationary, or, in other words, the supporting-arm E maybe secured to a stationary part and made to extend over the table, while the balance'arm F, which carries the motor II and the tool G, is connected to the supporting-awn in the manner above described.

A shaft E" may be provided, which is connected to the carriage I) by belts, as fully described in an application for a patent filed by me September 4-, 1890, Serial No. 363,882, so that in case the motor II becomes inoperative the tool can be operated by any suitable power capable of imparting motion to the shaft E.

I do not herein claim anything claimed in my applications for patents, Serial Nos. 363,882 and 363,883, bearing even dates with this.

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