specification.
My invention consists in the improved construction and arrangement of the several portions of the machine, as hereinafter fully set forth.
Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved machine. Fig. 2 represents a top view of the same. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 are detail views, Fig. 3 being a section taken in the line at 00 of Fig. 2, Fig. 4- a longitudinal section of the spindle, and Fig. 5 a section taken in the line 3 y of Fig. 2.
I11 the accompanying drawings, A represents the frame of the machine; BB,a series of revolving spindles, which are preferably formed from a flat bar a, provided at one end with a journal-bearing h, and at the opposite end with the attached bearing-head 0, having a sprocket-wheel d, and the diametrically opposite lOIlglttldllltl perforations 6, adapted for the passage of the wire from the spools O and C, the bearing-head 0 being also provided with the attached twistingguides f for delivering the wire. At opposite sides of the flat bar a are placed the studs 9 g, upon which the spools for carrying the supply of wire are placed, and in order to properly friction the said spools to produce the required degree of tension upon the wire while the same is being twisted to form the fence I arrange the thumbscrew It with the friction clamp-piece t upon the side of the bar a, so as to bear upon the flange j of the spool, and preferably notch the other end of the clamp-piece t' to fit the sides of the fixed pin 7:,in order to prevent the said clamp-piece from turning when the spool is be in g revolved by drawingoff the wire. I also arrange the guide E for tensioning and straightening the wire, the said guide being formed from a U-sl1aped piece of metal having corresponding holes 0 made in its oppositearms adapted for the insertion of the wire to be twisted, and the said guide E is adapted for adjustment to increase or diminish the tension of the wire and to straighten the same by means of the screw-bolt m, which allows the said guide to be set in any required angular position. To each end of the forcingbar F and atits under sideis attached a rack G, which is arranged to slide in a suitable guide II, and upon the rock-shaft I are arranged two segmentgears .I to engage with their respective racks, and upon the outer end of the rock-shaft I is secured the handlever K, by means of which the forcing-bar F is to be operated.
Upon the forcing-bar F, between the extended planes of each of the spindles, are placed the forcing-guides L, which serve to carry the picket M forward to its proper position with relation to the previously-inserted picket.
Upon the top of the frame A, at opposite sides of the machine, are secured the upright stands N N, which support a bottom roll 0 and a comparatively heavy top roll 0', the said top roll being preferably held to its hearing against the intervening wires and slats or pickets by means of suitable springs Z, which springs are made adjustable by means of the screws m.
The packaging-mandrel P is made square and has one of its ends or inserted into a square socket 0 (shown by the dotted line) in the inner end of the shaft V, and its opposite endp is journaled in a bearing q, being held within the said bearing by means of the readily-removable pin 1 or otherwise. The packaging'mandrel P is also provided with the clamps s s and the clamping-bar t, and the said mandrel is operated to wind up the pro duct of the machine into a rolled package by means of the hand-crank Q, which is secured to a short shaft R, having an attached pinion S, which pinion engages with the teeth of the gear T, the said gear T being secured to the shaft U, which is provided at its inner end with the mandrel-socket 0.
The series of spindles B B B are made to revolve in unison with each other by means of the chain V, which engages with the peripheries of the several sprocket-wheels (Z and is operated by means of the hand-crank IV,
of the rollers X, whichserve to hold the chain properly in contact with the peripheries of the sprocketavheels.
The spindles B B are made adjustable upon the bars a and b, in order to vary the distance between the twisted parallel wires of the fence, and the chain-guiding rollers X are also made adjustable upon their supportingbar 0, to conform to the required changed position of the sprocket-wheels (l. The stands N N of the pressing-rolls O O are also made adjustable upon the bars (1 (7 by means of the screw-bolt u.
When the properly-filled spools have been inserted upon the studs 9 g of the spindles l3, and the end of the wire from each spool passed through the two eyes of the adjustable guides E, and through their respective perforations e in the bearing-head c, and through the eye 1; in the guides f, then the two wires to be twisted are passed between the rolls 0 O and carried forward and looped over the clampingbar '15, and the machineis ready for operation. Now, by turning the crank the spindles B B will be revolved to twist the wires, and when the wires have been twisted so that the twist extends from the rolls 0 0 back to the forward ends of the guides f f the first picket is to be inserted into the space 10, between the said guides f f and in front of the forcing-guides L, which have been previously brought back by the movement of the hand-lever K for that purpose, the forward end of the picket being made to rest against the gage t, and then, upon the reverse movement of the hand-lever K, and the proper rotation of the mandrel P to wind up the wire, the picket can be carried forward by the forcing-guides L to the proper distance from the end of the twisting-guides ff, the said distance to be the measured distance between the pickets of the finished fence to be manufact ured. Then, upon again turning the spindles B B to twist the wire up to the ends of the twisting-guides and the insertion of another picket into the space 10, between the twisting-guides in advance of the forcingguides, the picket and the twisted wire can be carried forward as before, and at this time the rolls 0 0 should be so set that the first inserted picket is just entering the same, and
. thereafter the operation of twisting the wire and feeding the pickets can be proceeded with without the trouble of measurement, there being at all times two pickets in the space between the rolls and the twisting-guides, so that the pickets will be arranged at uniform distances throughout the fence. \Vhen the finished product is being drawn forward and wound upon the packaging-mandrel, the pickeis will be drawn between the pressing-rolls O 0, whereby the wire will be pressed upon the picket, and the necessity for hammering the wire to make it fit the picket will be obviated.
The spools C and C are arranged to revolve in separate planes, in order to provide for the desired proximity of the spindles B B when using spools of comparatively large size, and the tension of the wire as it decreases in quantity upon the spools can be properly regu lated by means of the thumb-screw h. \V hen the rolled package Y is fully formed upon the packaging-mandrel, the twisted wires x03,
between two of the slats, are to be severed and the package removed "from the machine by first taking out the pin 0, then withdrawing the end it of the paekaging-mandrel I from the socket o. The clamps s s are then to be loosened and the mandrel P and the clamping-bar t drawn out from the package.
I claim as my'invention 1. In a machine for making wire-and-picket fence, the packaging-mandrel, the revoluble shaft having a socket to receive the mandrel, the clamps, and the clamping-bar, substantially as described.
2. In a machine for making wire-and-picke fence, the packaging-mandrel, the revoluble. shaft having a socket to receive the mandrel, the clamps, the clam pingbar, the hand-crank, and the pinion and gear, substantially as described.
3. In a machine for making wire-an'd-picket fence, the packaging-mandrel, the revolublc shaft having a socket to receive the mandrel, the clamps, the clamping-bar, means for operating the revolubleshaft, the pressing-rolh ers operated by the revolution of the packaging-mandrel, and the hand-operated forcingguides for forcing the picket toward the pressing-rollers, substantially as described.
