. paoygmrm uvfMAcn-insse FOR' SETTING UP BA'RRELS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 188,881 dated March 27, 1877; application filed January 15, 1877.
To allwhom Huey concern: l p f .Be it known thatI, WM. 'HKEW ING, of
Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain enable others skilled in the art towhich it pertains to make and use it, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification. u
My invention relates to an improvement in machines for setting up kegs, barrels, &c.; and it consists in a revolving form on which the staves are-placed, and the arrangement and combination of devices used in connection therewith, thatxwill be more fully explained hereinafter. Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention. Fig. 3 is a detailed view. 7 I l a represents a suitable bed or. frame, up
- from or through which projectsya vertical spindle,upou andiaround which .the form b revolves. Theouter'edge of this form has a flange, c, all around' it, whichserves toprevent the stavesfromslipping ofi after they have been placed in position. From this flange the,bottomo'f the'form slants-downward for ashort distance, and then rises up- "ward vtothe'gedgeof the recess d, which is i made m ne bottom of the form all around the center-postfe, to "hold the bottom trusshoop.
- About half "way'up the post there is a' shoulder, inadefwhi'ch serves as a supportfor the'circular pieces g, having rubber edges on their outersides.
These pieces are used in shaping the keg or barrel, and arepreferably providedw-ithrubher, so that there may be a slight resistance at this point 1 to, the pressure of the staves to I 7 force them intopropershape;
v The postis en derably smaller above the shouldeuso' as to allowfree room for, the operators :handsbetween the post andstaves.
Upon the top ofthe post is placed the disk h, which is made; just the si'ze oftlie head of the keg or barrel that is being made, and which serves asap guide or support for the up- .perends of: thestav es to restagainst. This CASE B.
disk'is kept from turning around by means of a pin or any suitable stop; but can be raised vertically with the keg in case the staves should clamp it too tightly, when it can be readily pushed out.
The staves are held in position as they are being set up by a cord, rope, or chain fastened by a pin to the lower side of the disk, and passing outward over a pulley, i, placed in the top of the post I, With a weight, m, secured to its outer end, lapping around them as each succeeding stave is placed in position.
The weight attached to the outer end of this rope'should be sufficiently heavy to hold each 'stave securely in its place without being heavy enough to pull the form backward when released.
After the staves are all set up, the end trusshoop is driven on, and the former is turned backward till the rope holding the staves in position is run off. The bilge-hoop is then put on and driven down to near the center of the keg. The Windlass-rope n, which has one end fastened to the frame, and the other passed around the Windlass a), is then formed into a loop and .thrown over the keg, dropping down to near the lower end of the staves. It is then wound onto the Windlass, drawing the staves together at the bottom, and forcing the keg up the inclined bottoin till it comes directly over the recess d, when it drops into the 1 end truss-hoop 'w, placed in the recess to re- .ceive that end of the keg. The Windlass is then let go, the rope thrown off, and the keg, with the truss-hoop on its lower end, islifted out and the circular pieces g removed from the inside, and the keg or barrel is ready for the trussing and finishing process.
In case the keg should not fall into the truss-hoop lying in the recess, the operator places his foot on the treadle m, which causes the rod y to raise the former upward and allows it to drop suddenly, jarring the keg into the truss-hoop.
The Windlass may be operated either by hand or steam power.
The advantage of this Windlass is, that a keg or-barrel can never be windlassed more than is necessary, thereby obviating breaking of staves.
This invention is an improvement upon an- .truss, substantially as described.
3. A horizontally-revolving former having a flange, c, a place inside of the flange upon which to set the ends of the staves, and a recess to receive the truss, in combination with a Windlass for drawing the ends of the staves into the truss, in the manner shown and described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this-12th day of January, 187.
WM. H. EWING.
