Lette/rs Patent No. 95,926, dated October` 19, 1869.
IMPROVED' SOAP-CUTTIN G- MACHINE.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the samev To whom it may concern.-
Be it' known that we, CHARLES S. MURPHY and DONALD MQGREGOR, of Detroit, in the county of Vayne, and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Soap-Cutting Apparatus; and we do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letteis of reference marked thereon, and being a part of this specilication.
The object we have in this invention is to construct au apparatus, combined oi' several parts, for the purpose of cutting a mass of soap into slabs, then cutting the slabs into long bars, and then subdividingthe long .bars into short ones of equal length, thereby enabling the operators to perform the labor of reducing the mass to bars of any desired size 'and length with ease, and certainty in the uniformity of size in the bars.
, vThe invention' consists- First, in the employmentof a suitable vertical frame, across which are stretched, horizontally, a series of wires, drawn tight, and secured, in any convenient manner-fat equal -distances2apart, the distances between the wires being the required thickness of the slabs; and the wires may be so attached to the frame that they may be adjusted to cut Various thicknesses.
several of these slotted bars, with varying distances.
between the slots, in order that bars of diierent widths may be out when required, by substituting the differ- To the opposite side secured short cutting-wires, vat equal distances apart, such distances corresponding with the distances between the slots in the 'slotted bar above referred to. 'lhese wires should also be so attached that they may he adjusted to cut various widths of bars.
Third, in a pair of slides, operating upon a table, to receive the bars after they are cut, and upon which they are carried 'to-another table, which is provided with suitable guides for the purpose. In the passage of the slides from the one table to the other, there is placed another series of vertical wires, which should also be adjustable, by neans of' which the bars are subdivided into the desired lengths.
Fourth, in the novel and peculiar' arrangementof the various parts of the apparatus forvthe purpose desined.
l:Having thus described the object of our invention, we will new proceed to describe its various parts, and the opera-tios ofthe same, so'that those skilled in the art can manufacture and operate the apparatus.
A represents a vertical gallows-frame, which may be secured to the floor iuany convenient method.
Between the two upright posts of this frame are stretched the cutting-wires c, at equal distances apart, and adjustable so as to cnt any required thickness, as hereinbefore described. v
Also, secured to the tlo'or, and extending under the frame, as shown, are the ways B, upon which the mass of soap to be cut is moved forward to the cutting-wires and through the frame.
O is another frame, to the top of one side of which is secured the slotted bar b, the slots, or cuts into said bar being vertical, from the top, at equal distances apart, to correspond with the width of the bar into which it is desired to cut the soap.
Pivoted to the oppositeside of the frame C, at c, is the vibrating frame D, to the cross-bars d ande ci which are secured the cutting-wires o, at equal distances apart, to correspond with the distances between the slots, or cuts in the slotted bar b. vThese wires should be so arranged and securedas to be adjustable in any convenient way, so that bars of differentwidtljls can be cut'when desired. A y
Secured to, and vibrating withthis frame D, there is a table, E, which isnprovided with two guides, f, which guide the slides F, in their movements, and which are coincident, when the corner g `of the yibrating table E is brought into line with the corner 7t of the stationary table G, with similar guides .t secured to the top of said stationary table G.
H is a post, secured to the frame D, and supports a proper sheave-block, over which passes the coi-dj, one end of which is secured to the frame D, and the other to the counterbalauce-weight I, to assist in vibratirg or semi-rotating the said frame D.
The cross-bar d of the Vframe .D is provided with a prrjection, K, for the purpose hereinafter explained.
To the stationary table G is secured the gallows frame K, between the cross-piece l of which and the bed of the table is secured the vertical wires m, which should be secured so as to secure an adjustability, so that they may be used for cutting dilerent lengths.
The outside wires are designed to trim off the ends of the bars, while the intermediate wire or wires Will subdivide the bar into suitable and equal lengths.
The operationof this machine is as follows:
The mass of soap, being ready for cutting, is slid upon to the ways B, at kthe rear end thereof, and driven'i'orward against the cutting-Wires and in the continued lforward motion of the mass, the wires pass through the mass, cutting it into slabs of any required thickness,
After this is done, the mass, cut into slabs, as described, is left standing upon the front end of the ways, opposite the frame C.
At this time, the pla-ne of the table .E should he coincident with -thc plane of the stationary table G. Then afslab is removed from the mass, and one edge thereof rested upon the upper edge of the slotted bar b, and its opposite edge placed upon the projection k of the bar d.
Then, by means of the handle L, the frame D is vibrated toward the slab, the upper edge of which is presented to the cutting-wires o, lwhich, in the deiection of the frame, pass' through the slab, thereby cutting into bars of a uniform width.
The bars will then be found resting upon the slides F, and by raising the frame until the corners g and h are in contact, as hereinbefore described, the slides may be pushed, under the galloWs-frame K, on to the table G, the cuttingewiresm cutting the bars resting upon the -slides into equal lengths, and trimming their ends.
We are aware that a frame similar to`the frame A, and provided with cutting-wires a, has been in use. We do not claim that, except in combination with the other parts of our apparatus.
Vhat we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The vibrating frame D, provided with cutting- Wires o, table E, and handle L, in combination with the frame4 O, when constructed and operating substantially as herein specified.
2. In combination withthe above-named parts, the slides.F, table G, and cutting-wires m, when arranged relatively to each lother, and operating as hereinset forth.
3. In combination with the frames C, D, and G, provided with the various parts herein mentioned, the frame-A, provided with ,cutting-Wires a, and theways B, when constructed, combined, and'operating subst-antially as and for the purposes herein described.
