To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that we JOHN LUoAs and GUsTAv Scams, residents of Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Im rovement .in Jarring-Machines, of whcht e following isa specification.

-The invention relates to jarring machines.

It is highly desirable in'foundry practice to have some kind of a machine 'by means of which the 'molds may be jarred to settle the sand about the patterns.. Various types of machines have been proposed, all of which are rather complicated, occupyconsiderable space and each of which must have a separate mechanism for furnishing 'the power to jar the molds which in many cases is quite heavy. The present invention has been devised to avoid the difliculties and expense of having 'a large number of complicated and bulky jarring machines.

The general object of the invention is to provide'an improved jarring machine which may be operated by simply attaching to it the hook of;a traveling" crane, such as is usually present in a foundry.

Another object is to provide an improved .jarringI machine which is simple, compact,

1nexpensive`ang easily operated.

A further o ject is to provide a jarring machine with an improved attachment by means of whichjthe sand may be jarred out, of the molds. f Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear from the following specification.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the following drawings, the views of 'Figure 1 is a diagrammatic view showing e thee-jarring machine as it is operated by the traveling crane for jarring the sand about the pattern, and, also, for jarring-the sand out of the mold.

Fig. .2 is a cross section through the jurring machine.

Fig. 3 is a cross section at right angles Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a detail section lthrough the lratchet mechanism.

Fig. 6 is a side elevation, showing the at tacbment for jarring the machine, in see-- tlon.

Fig. 7 is an end elevation.' showing the to a floor, a reciprocable jarring` table 2 and mechanism arranged to be operated by the traveling crane 3' for jarring the table.

The frame 1 may be of any suitable shape and made of anyI suitable material. Preferably, it is made of metal, and is rectangu lar in shape, being constructed in two parts 4 and 5 which are bolted, or otherwise fastened together, when thc machine is assembled. The lower half 4 is fastened to the floor of a foundry by bolts 6, or by any other suitable means. The upper half carries abearing sleeve 7 supported by ribs 8 which extend from the side Walls of the frame to the sleeve. This sleeve is per fectly cylindrical in shape and arranged to receive the post or pedestal 9 of the reciprocable table2. VThe sleeve and pedestal have complementary recesses 10, in which a key -wardly projecting rib on the upper ,half Aof the frame and ribs 16 extend between the end walls of the lower half of the frame. The free end of the lever is provided with a cam surface 17 which is arranged'to be engaged by the cam surfaces of a two-armed cam 18 carried by shaft 19 that is journaled in the lower half 4 of the frame. Whenever the shaft 19 is rotated the cam-18 engages the surface 17 of the lever 13 and moves it.upwardly to raise the table. As the cam 18- passes beyond the vsurface 17 it permits the lever and the table with the mold on top of 1t tosuiidenij-,f dreiip against "mesmo T T e ends of 'theshaft l19 project beyond 'are used is as follows.- the sides ofthe frame andcn eachend'there Tables are Vpositioned atcoii'venient points is mounted a ratchet drum 20.
