Description: |
| George L. Maxwell - patent attorneyThis invention relates to feeding mechanism for advancing pieces of stock in a continuous line to a machine, for operating, thereon and, while having other, and more general fields of usefulness, is especially designed to cooperate with a planer or like machine to automatically feed a continuous line of boards or other steely to the machine. A principal object of the invention is to provide a mechanism adapted to receive boards or other stock supplied therein irregularly, for example, in intermittent) bunches or carelessly, and to automatically take the boards one by one and feed them in proper alignment to the planing mechanism, with the forward end of each board always abutting against, the rear end of the preceding one so that an uninterrupted line to the planer heads is maintained. The invention provides means to insure that only one board shall be advanced to the planer mechanism at once and adjustments are provided to accommodate beards or other stock of varying widths and thicknesses. In carrying out my invention I connect the automatic feeding mechanism for operation in timed relation to the planer and I preferably connect the driving connections so that the feed mechanism of the feeding table over runs the drive or receiving capacity of the planer, say about twenty per cent., so that the succession of boards being fed are always closely pressed and abutted, end to end as is requisite in the high speed planer operations now in common use. |
