'The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and' making part of the same.

To all whom `it may concern i Be it known that we? R. A. BELDEN and E. H.

CUTLER, of New Haven, in the county of NcwHa-- ven, and State ,f Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement iii Iron-Planers; and we do hereby declare the following, when taken in'oonnection with the accompanying drawings, and the letters oi' reference marked thereon, to be ali'ull, clear, and exact description ofthe same, and which said drawings constitute the planer-table, so that theV table, as it moves back and forth, will, at'each extreme of the required movement, connect so as to move the said bar, and the said bar constructed with a rack, operating in a pinion, l

which saidpinion also communicates to a 4transverse `rack-bar at the driving-pulleys, and on to which said transverse-bar shipping-guides are fixed. The movement given to the longitudinal bar by the table com# municates a movement to the transverse bar, so-as to ship the belts to reverse the action of the machine.

The invention also consists in combining with the said longitudinal bar' a pinion, operating a transverse shaft-,upon which a slotted orother head is iixed,to

the cutter-head.

, To enable others skilled in the art to construct and.

communicate with'and operate the feeding-device of use our invention, we will proceed to describe the same as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. l .y Ais the planer-hed. p l I Bthe table, moving thereon in the usual manner.

(,tD are adjustable stops, arranged upon and so. as

` of the pinion R, to operate the cross-head l), to work l to move with the table in the usual. manner.

, AAlong the side of the bed -a bar, E, is' arranged, to

which is iixed va trip,- a, so that one of the said stops` will strike the said trip when thev table is moving in one direction, and the other stop willstrke the trip when moving in another direction, in similar manner as otherV 1 arrangements in common lplaning-n1achines.

The bar E extends along thev sideofV the bed to near. the pulley-shaft -H,'here represented as being over the' i said shaft, and at that part of the bar a rack is formed,

as seen in iig. 2, which worksin a pinion', I, arranged upon a vertical shaft, Il. (See figs. 1 and 2,)

The said pinion is of suicient length to extend above-the bar E, as seen in fig. 3, (or may be-two pinious on the same shaft,) and a transversebar, L, with a corresponding rack, is worked by the said pinion, so that as 'the 'bar E is moved back, the transverse bar L will be drawn in, asdenoted in red, Iig. 2. Then when the bar E is returned, the bar L will be thrown out. i

To the said bar L, belt-shippers Fand G are iixed, operating the ,belts to change the movement of the table in the us'u'al manner.

At a convenient point for connecting with the crosshead ofthe planer, we aiirange a transverse shaft, N, to

. which a crossliead,P,is fixed, and on this shaft wc X a pinion, R, as seen in fig. 3, working-in a rack upon the bar E, so that asftlie bar E is moved back and forth, the cross-head P will lbe correspondingly turned. From this cross-head l?, we connect to the feeding-de-` vice in the crosshead ofthe planer, in the usual manner.

` For convenience of operating the shipping-apparatus by hand, We attach a handle, b,to the shaft N, by moving which the `bar E will be thrown forward or back, as the case may be, to throw the-shipper out'or in, according to the direction in which itis' desired the plate should move. l i

Having fully described our invention, W'hat we .claim as new andfuseful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isf v l l. The longitudinal bar E, combined with the transverse bar Land 'pinion I, so that the movement of the planer-table B willI force the transverse lbar out'and in. to shipthe belt,l substantially in the manner described.v
