Description
FRANQOIS DE BOWENS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
Letters Patent No. 94,189, dated August 31, 1869.
IMPRQVEMENT IN MACHINERY FOR CUTTING MATCH-STICKS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANoIs DE BowENs, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machinery for Cutting Match-Sticks, and depositing them in frames; and I do hereby declare the following is a full, clear, and
exact description thereof, reference beingY` had to the accompanying drawings, and the letters of reference marked thereon. Y
The nature of my invention consists in securing the blocks of wood from which the match-sticks are cut to a circular, horizontal wheel or, table. The cuttingknife is' secured to a slide-rest upon a revolving arm, and, as the sticks fall from the knives, they are deposited in the grooves in the dipping-frames, which are taken away as soon as filled.
To enable others skilled in the ait to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
Figure l is a plan of the machine.
Figure 2 is an elevation.
Figure 3 is a section, showing one mode of securing the blocks.
Figure 4 is an end view of the frames.
A is the circular stationary table, to which are secured the splint-blocks C, either glued to the table, or to separate plates, and bolted on, or wedged into the table by a wedge, W, as shown in iig. 3.
Through the centre of this table passes the upright shattB, turning in bearings b2.
A horizontal arm, N, projects on'one side, carryingthe slide-rest E, knife D, and bed G.
This saddle`E is moved by a screw, H, which receives its motion from a bevel-wheel, K, gearing into a bevel-wheel, 1t,vfixed upon the table A. l
A weighted arm, M, having a half nuton one end, is used for bringing the saddle E into gear with the screw.
The knife is fed up to its work by wheel P.
. As the arm N revolves, (the arm M being in can) the knife I) traverses across the face 0f the block C, cutting out a match-stick from each block at egery revolution. v
The pitch of the screwis about six threads per inch, according to the size of the match-stick to be cut.
I also place two, four, or six knives in the saddle E', closelybllowing each other, and so set that each knife cuts out the ridge left by the one preceding it, thus greatly multiplying the number of sticks cut at each revolution.
l The shape of the knives D and the manner of making the cuts are fully described in my patent of April 2.7,- 1869, in which the splint-blocks are shown as ro- O, when the stick is pushed out ofthe knife, and falls into its appropriate groove in the frame S.
As soon as the frames are full, they are removed,
and the next row of frames underneath is filled.
Only one knife is used when the frames are being filled. If' more knives were employed, an endway-motion would have to be given them at every revolution equal in proportion to the number 0f knives employed.
What Iclaim as my invention, and desnfe to secure by Letters Patent, 'isl 1. The arrangement of the splint-blocks G upon the 'table A, in combination with the cutting-knife D, op-
erated substantially as herein shown and described.
2. 'lhe arrangement ,of the knives D D in vduplicate, one'close behind the other, so that each following knife cuts out the ridge left by the precedingknife,
` substantially as shown, g. 5, and described herein.
3. Depositing the match-sticks in the frames S as they leave the knives D, inthe manner'herein shown and described. o
