IMPROVEMENT IN MACHINEQ FOR CUTTING THE HEADS AND BOTTOMS 0F WOODEN BOXES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 62,846, dated March 12, 1867; reissue No. 6,367, d te April 6, 1875; application filed March 1, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, EDMUND HERsEY, of Hingham, in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Machine for Cutting Heads and Bottoms of WVooden Boxes, and for other articles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to a new and im proved machine for cutting the bottoms and heads of wooden boxes and measures; and it consists of a cutter of peculiar construction, attached to a rising and falling frame, and used in connection with a block, over which the cutter works, and on which the stock or wood from which the bottom or head is cut is placed, all being constructed and arranged as hereinafter fully shown and described.

In theaccompanying sheet of drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of my invention; Fig. 2, a side sectional view of the same, taken on the line a: at, Fig. 1; Figs. 3 and 4, end views of the cutters pertaining to the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

A represents an upright framing, in which a rising and falling frame, B, is fitted, and allowed to work freely up and down between suitable guides a. This frame B may be operated by a crank and pitman, or by other suitable means. In the lower cross-piece b of the frame B a cutter, O, is fitted, and it may be of circular or elliptical form in its transverse section but, of Whichever form, it should have its cuttingedges composed of two gouge-shaped parts, 0 c, which may be formed by cutting, filing, or otherwise notching the cutting end of the cutter at two opposite points; or the The cutter, as the frame B is forced down,

works over a block, D, attached to a horizontal cross-piece, d, in the framing A, said block corresponding in form to the interior of the cutter. The wood from which the heads or bottoms are cut is placed on the block D, and when the frame B is forced down the cutter passes through the wood and over the block,-

the latter causing the heads or bottoms to be driven out through the upper end of the cutter.

In consequence of having the cutting-edge of the cutter formed of two gouge-shaped parts, it is made to cut freely and smoothly, and with but a moderate application of power.

Having thus described my invention, 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The tubular cutter 0, having its cuttingedge composed of two gouge-shaped parts, 0 0, and arranged to operate as herein set forth, whether said cutter is made in one or two pieces, substantially as shown and described.

Executed at Boston this 27th day of February, A. D. 1875.

EDMUND HERSEY.
