J. C. SHULER. Extracting Turpentine from Pine Treesi Patented March 15, 1870.
' when sale page cyan.
net-tars Patent N 100,936, dated March 15,1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN EXTRAC'IIN'G TURPEHII NE FROM PINE-TREES.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making pan: of the same 'the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of an external view of a pine-tree, with an incision therein formed upon my .plan', and my, gathering-apparatus attached.
Figure 2 is a sectional view, and
Figure 3 is a detail.
My invention has relation. to means for extracting and gathering turpentine from pine-trees; and
It consists in anovel method of tapping such trees,
and an improved apparatus for securing the turpen-' tine.
A of the drawings represents theincision cut in the tree, the lower side or base of which is formed with a saw, and the upper side usually with an axe.
The lines a. a show the lower side of the incision, and the lines o c the upper side. The space between these several lines is cleared with a chisel, which removes the chip. The letter B represents a gash cut across the tree, at rightangles therewith, for-the purpose of holding the spout 0-, next mentioned.
'0 is a spout or conduit for the turpentine. lt'is usually constructed of tin, with its upper end cut and bent, as shown in fig. 3, and adapted nct only to sit firmly in the gash B, but also to conduct the turpentine downward to the bucket D, and serve as a sup pOrtand stay for said bucket.
The letter D represents my bucket, which, when on duty, is held in place by the joint support of the spout O and the nails 11. The latter consist of two twentypenny nails driven firmly into the tree at such dis tance from the gashB as will allow the spout to serve as a stay and support for the upper end of the bucket, while they (the nails) support its bottom, as shown on tigs'land 2..
.I find by experiment that for extracting turpentine from the tree, the use of a saw is preferable to an axe, inasmuch as the blows of the latter tend to close the pores of the timber, and prevent, to some extent, a rapid flow of the liquid.
The gashes cut by the saw below the main incision.
should be closed by a mortar of gypsum, or other suitable material, to prevent waste.
