ADISCH G. DONELL, OF QANONSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.

TIN-TRANsFEnRiNG MACHINE.

Nassazsse.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AnIsoH O. DONELL, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Oanonsburg, in the county of Washington and State of Penns lvania, have invented certain new and use ul Im rovements in Tin-Transferring Machines, 0 which the following is a s ecification, reference being had therein to t e accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to a tin transferring machine, and. the primary object of the invention is, to provide a novel machine for aptomatically moving single sheets or packs 0 tin.

Another object of this invention is to dispense with the manual labor heretofore necessary for transferring plates from one machine to another, or from a pickling vat to a drying machine. I

Afurther object of this invention is to provide a machine by which the production of tin plates will be materially increased and a better quality of goods produced.

With the above and other objects in view which will more readily appear as the invention is better understood the same consists in the novel construction, combination and ar-- rangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, and then specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawin Figure 1 is an end elevation of the machine, Fig. 2 is a cross. sectional view of the same, Fig. 3 is a front elevation, Fig. 4 is asectional view taken on the line y-y of Fig. 3, Fig. 5 is an enlarged elevation of a gear wheel supporting member, and Fig. 6 is a cross sectional view of one of the manipulating wheels.

To put my invention into practice, I construct my machine of two frames 1 and 2 connected by tie rods 3. The frames 1 and 2 are formed with guides 4 for adjustable blocks 5 I these blocks being adjusted through the medium of screws 6 operating in the frames 1 and 2. In the blocks 5 is journaled a shaft 7, and upon said shaft are mounted a plurality of manipulating wheels, th'ese wheels being spaced apart by sleeves 9. Each manipulating wheel comprises a disk 9 having a plurality of radiallydisposed horseshoe magnets 10, said magnets being mounted in the periphery of the disk 9 and protruding therefrom. The sides of the disk 9 are provided with an insulating material 11, as ce luloid, andwith heads 12.

The frame 1 is provided with a segment- Specification of Letters Patent. Application fl1ed"December-80,1907. eria1 No. 408,668.

Patented June 2, 1908.

I shaped slotted arm 13,'and adjustably con- Ilected to said arm is a ,gear wheel supporting member .14 having a revoluble pinion 15. This gear wheel is adapted to mesh with a gear wheel 16 mounted upon the end of the shaft 7. Meshing with the gear wheel 15 is a large gear wheel 17, carried b a shaft 18, which is driven from a suitable source of power.

By providing the adjustable gear wheel su porting member 14, the shaft 7 carrying t 1e gear wheel 16 can be elevated or lowered and maintained in mesh, whereby a rotary movement will be imparted to the shaft 7 by the shaft 18. I

The frames 1 and 2 are' rovided with guide-ways 19 for adjustab 0 blocks 20, these blocks carrying a longitudinally disposed bar 21 for a plurality of guide strips 22, these strips guiding plates carried by the -magnets 10 of the manipulating wheels.

The lower ends of the guide strips 22 extend in close proximity to a guide plate 23 arranged longitudinally between the frames 1 and 2, the ends of said strips and the plate 23 providing an entrance 24, for plates ejected by the rolls of the tinning machine.

In operation, the plates passing between the guide strips 22 and the plate 23 are gripped by the magnets 10 of the manipulatmg wheels, carried upwardly over said wheels, and are precipitated upon a suitable conveyer (not shown), thereby dispensing with the manual'manipulation of plates ejected by tinning machines In order that the plates will be released by the ma nets 10 of the machine, I arrange an inclinecI plate 25 between the frames 1 and 2,

this plate engaging the edges of the tin plates carried by the magnets and forcing said tin plates from the magnets of the manipulating wheels.

It is thought that the construction and operation of m machine will be apparent from the foregoin description taken in connection with the rawings, and I desire it to be understood that such changes as are permissible by the 'ap ended claims may be resorted to without eparting from the spirit of the'invention. 1

Having now described my invention what I claim as new, is

1. In a machine of the type described embodying frames, an adjustable shaft journaled in said frames, a plurality of manipulating wheels mounted upon said shaft, each wheel comprising a plurality of radially disposed horseshoe magnets; a plurality of adjustable guide strips mounted between said frames, a guide plate mounted between said frames at the lower ends of said guide strips, a ear wheel carried by said shaft, an adjustab e ear wheel member carried by one of said rames, a gear wheel revolublyoarried by. said member and meshing with the first mentioned gear wheel, and means for impartin a rota movement to said gear wheels, suistantial y as described.-

2. In a machine of the type described embodying frames, a plurality of manipulating wheels journaled between said frames, each wheel comprising radially disposed horseshoe magnets, adjustable gui e strips arranged between said frames and the lower ends of said strips, means for adjusting said wheels vertically with relation to said frames, and means for imparting a rotary movement to said wheels.

3. A machine of the type described embodying frames, a plurality of manipulating wheels journaled between said frames, ma nets carried by Wheels, adjustable gui e strips, and means for adjusting said manipulating wheels.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
