rojecting freely through a bore extending extending transversely of the heel portion
of the lever 33 and as the drum 7 contin
ongitudinally of the carriage or slide 3
at the rear thereof, said screw being tapped
through the block 40 rigid with and de
ending from the lower wedge member 18.
E. function of this screw is to regulate the
operating point of the swinging arm 37 by
the segmental arm 34. Below the slide 3 I
have shown the fixed element 41 attached
10 by screws or otherwise to the base or bed 2
and constituting a suitable actuator for the
lever or arm 33.
It will be assumed that the tool 5 has
concluded its action upon the work 21, that
5 the work has been lowered and that the car
riage 3 is being drawn backward by the can
drum 7. Just before the carriage 3 coln
pletes its back or retractive stroke the lever
33 will strike the actuator 41 and as the
20 backward movement is completed the lever
33 will be swung toward the right in Fig. 1
so as to effect the movement of the seg
mental arm 34 in the opposite direction.
In the dotted lines in Fig. 3 I have shown
25 the arm 34 just at about the time the lever
33 engages the actuator 41, so that on the
final backward movement of the slide 3 the
arm 34 is moved from the dotted line posi
tion in Fig. 3 to the fill line position there
30 in, assuming the full line position when the
backward movement of the carriage 3 has
been concluded. As the arm 34 swings from
the dotted line to the full line position it
rides against the arm 37 and acting as a
35 cam thrusts said arm 37 and therefore the
wedge member 18 rearward with respect to
the slide 3, the motion being completed at
practically the instant the back stroke of ting plane just about the time the stud 11 is
the slide 3 is finished. As the wedge mem in readiness to enter the cam portion 14 to
40 ber 18 moves rearward it elevates in the
manner already described the wedge mem
ber 19 so as to move the work 21 to extend
above the cutting plane, this relation being
maintained until the predetermined cut has
45 been made, it being clear that during the
cutting action the work is non-yieldingly
sustained.
As already noted, I do not rely upon the
carriage 3 to effect the lowering of the
50 work and as a consequence can complete a
cut before the work is lowered. In the
present case the lowering of the work is
obtained through the primary agency of the
cam drum 7 or by means movable therewith,
55 the peripheral stud or projection 42 (Figs.
1 and 7 for instance) answering satisfac
torily in this connection. After the work
21 has been elevated and it is shown as just
in this condition in Fig. 1, the carriage 3
60 will be advanced by the cam drum 7 and
just as the stud or anti-friction roller enters
the ineffective or dwell portion 12 indicat
ing the completion of the advance stroke of
the carriage or slide 3, the stud or roller 42
will engage the cam or angular surface 43 the arrow applied thereto in Fig. 1, the stud 130
ues to rotate, the carriage at this time be
ing at rest in its extreme advanced posi
tion, the stud or anti-friction roller 11 will 70
traverse said dwell or ineffective portion 12,
and when it enters the cam portion 15 the
latter by acting against the stud 11 will
cause the backward movement of the said
carriage or slide. Just as the stud 11 enters 75
the dwell or ineffective portion 12, the stud
or anti-friction roller 42 will engage the low
end of the cam or wedge face 43 and will
ride along said face 43, leaving it just about
the time the stud 11 enters the cam por
tion 14. While the stud 11 is riding along
the dwell or ineffective portion 12, the stud
or actuator 42 is in engagement with the
can or wedge surface 43, thus moving the
lever 33 in the direction of the arrow 44 or
rearward, the arm 34 on such motion of the
lever engaging the transverse member 36
made for instance in the form of an anti
friction roller and extending crosswise of
the slot 35, the consequence being that as
the lever 33 is moved rearward by the stud
42 and the arm 34 forward, the latter by
impinging against the transverse piece 36
moves the wedge member 18 forward or
toward the right in Figs. 1 and 2 and as
indicated by the arrow in Fig. 2, whereby
the upper wedge member 19 to which the
work is practically directly fixed will be
pulled down by the plate 24 riding along
the plate 22 in the manner already de
scribed. The result is that the work 21 is
lowered or caused to recede from the cut
inaugurate the backward movement of the
carriage 3.
In Fig. 8 the work 21 is supposed to be
moving in the direction of the straight ar
row, the tool 5 operating upon the same, the
curved arrow in this view and in Fig. 9 in 10
dicating the direction of rotation of the cut
ter or tool. The straight arrow in Fig. 9
represents the backward movement of the
Work, the work at this time being below the
cutting plane so that there is no possibility 15
of the cutter injuring the work.
It is believed that the action of the ma
chine will be clearly obvious from he fore
going description, but nevertheless it is de
sirable to briefly set forth the same. In 2
Fig. 1 the carriage or slide 3 is assumed to
be at practically the limit of its backward
movement, the work 21 having been elevated
in the manner already described, and the
stud 42 being at the under side of the cam 125
drum 7. As the cam drum rotates in the di
rection of the arrow in Fig. 7, the cam por
tion 15 acting against the stud 11 advances
the carriage or slide 3 in the direction of
