Application led March 29, 1926.

10 all cli/1.0m it' 'may concern Re it known that l, FRANK M. JosLIN, a citizen ot the United States, and residing at Amsterdam, Montgomery County, State ot New York, have :invented .certain new and userid improvements in Cutting Machines, of which the Afollowing is a speciiication.

This invention relates to certain detailed improvements in cutting machines o3. the type in which al reciprocating cutter is employed. The object ot the invention is to provide a construction in which a slidable cutter carrier is mounted in a suitable dovetailed guideway, one side ot which guideway is adjustable toward and from the other; to provide a carrier having a hollow projection 'tor receiving` the oj'icratingmeans, and having beneath such projection a rib which is attached to the body ot the carrier andthe projection, this arrangement being such as to produce a strong and rigid construction 'for receiving the thrust ot the cutter; and to provide certain other detailed improvements by which the machine is rendered more etlicient and serviceable for the purpose intended.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a liront elevation of the machine;

Fig. 2 is a side elevation at right angles to that ot Figure 1;

Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 2; and

'Fig'. 4 is a vertical sectional view on the broken line M41 oit Figure 1.

Referring to the drawings in detail, 1 shows a hollow standard which serves to support the various part-s of the mechanism. A frame 2 is rigidly mounted upon the upper part ot this standard, and is secured thereto by any suitable means such as bolts 3. The 'liront part ot this frame is provided with a guideway in which a cutter carrier l is adapted to reciprocate, one side of saidv guideway being 'formed by a flange 5 of said trame and the other by an angular member 5a, which is adjustably secured to the frame by means of bolts 6. The angular member 5L may be adjusted toward and from the opposite side 5 of the guideway by means oit set bolts 7, The construction just de scribed provides a dovetailed guideway in which the carrier 4 is intended to reciprocate, this carrier being shaped to ft the guideway.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Sera No. 369,485.

Extending outwardly from the carrier L1 is ahollow boss or projection 8 adapted to receive a pin 9, which is connected to a reciprocating rod 10, which rod is given a reciprocating .motion by means of eccentric mechanism 11 mounted in the base oi the standard 1. The eccentric mechanism is operated trom a shaft 12 to which any suitable source ot power 13 is att-ached. A clutch mechanism 14 controlled by a handle 15, is provided 'for connecting the shaft 12 to the source of power 13.

Below the hollow projection S heretofore referred to, the cutter carrier is provided with a rib 16 which is integrally connected with the body of the carrier and with the hollow proj ection. this rib lying immediately beneath such projection. A cutter 17 is secured to the lower end of the rib 16. This construction provides a means by which the cutter is mounted directly beneath the point at which the power is applied to operate the cutter carrier, and the rib 16 being rigidly secured to the carrier and to the projection in which the operating means is mounted, it will be seen that a strong and rigid construction of cutter carrier is provided.

A lined cutter is arranged to cooperate with the movable cutter 17, this iixed cutter being formedV by a plate 18 slotted as at 19 through which set screws 20 project and engage a fixed ipart of the trame, this construction providing means by which the plate 18 may be adjusted toward, and from the cutter 17. A guard plate 21 is arranged to overlie the plate 18 adjacent the line of movement ot the cutter 16, this guard plate being spaced from the plate 18 a suiiicient distance to permit the material being cut to be pushed thereunder. The plate 18 forms part of a work supporting platform, over which the material advances in passing to the cutter, and mounted in line with said plate 18 is atable 22 adapted to support the work, this table being held in position by a suitable brace 23, An adjustable work gaugev 2a is secured to a rigid part of the machine against which the material is adapted to be placed at the time of the cutting operation. this gauge serving to determine the length of the pieces to be cut from the material. A chute 25 is arranged in position to receive the several pieces of material.

It will be apparent from the foregoing description that the hollow projection 8 affords a goed bearing in which the operating shaft or pin 9 can be mounted, and that'the rib 16, secured to said projection and to the body of the carrier, serves to brace the projection against the thrust of the cutter duringkthe cutting operation, the arrangement as a whole providing a strong and rigid construction. The particular shape and arrangement of the cutter carrier and guideway are also such as to produce a strong and serviceable construction, and one in which accurate adjustment of one side of the guideway may be made to compensate for wear of the parts.

lVhat l claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. A machine of the class described comprising a frame having a vertically arranged guide way, a cutter carrier slidably mounted in said guide way, said carrier having a hollow boss extending laterally therefrom beyond said frame, a rib arranged beneath said boss at right angles to the front face of the carrier and integrally connected with said boss and with said carrier, a cutter secured to the lower edge of said rib and arranged substantially in a vertical plane passing through the axis of said boss, a reciprocating member arranged at the rear of said carrier for operating the same, and means mounted in said boss and engaging said reciprocating member.l

2. A machine of the class described comprising a frame having Va vertically arranged guide way, a cutter carrier slidably mounted in said guide way, said carrier having a hollow integral boss extending laterally there from beyond said frame, a rib arranged beneath said boss` and integrally connected therewith and with said carrier, a cutter secured to the lower edge of said rib and arranged substantially in a vertical plane passing through the axis of said boss, a work receiving platform arranged at right angles to said cutter, part of said platform being adjustable toward and from the line of movement of the said cutter, the end of said adjustable part forming a stationary cutter cooperating with the cutter on said carrier, a reciprocating member arranged at the rear of said carrier for operating the same, and means mounted in said boss and engaging said reciprocating member.

3. A machine of the class described comprising a frame having a vertically arranged guide way on one face thereof, a cutter carrier slidably mounted in said guide way, said carrier having a hollow boss extending laterally therefrom beyond said face of the frame, a rib arranged beneath said boss and integrally connected therewith and with said carrier, a cutter secured to the lower edge of said rib and arranged substantially in a vertical plane passing through the axis of said boss, a work receiving platform arranged on one side of the plane of movement of said cutter, the end of said platform beneath said cutter being arranged to cooperate with said cutter to cut material on said platform, an adjustable work gauge for determining the length of material to be cut, arranged on the other side of the plane of movement of said cutter, a reciprocating rod arranged at the rear of said cutter carrier and a. pin passing through said boss andr engaging said rod whereby said cutter is reciprocated.

In testimony whereof I aliix my signature.

FRANK M. JOSLIN.
