Abstract:
Relates to improvements on the invention d escribed in the parent Specification wherein a pulley E keeps the belt at driving tension and is locked by positioning a lever on its dead-centre, a n d consists in means for throwing the pulley out of gear at predetermined times. As applied to an intermittent drive for the feed-motion of a planing- machine, the pulley E is lifted into operation by a lever Q fitted with a releasing-pawl Q<1>, and is carried by a frame C loosely mounted on the axle D. The axle D also carries a disk O, which is operated by chain gearing from the driven shaft b and carries tripping-pieces O<1> ... O<4>, which, when turned outwards, lift the pawl Q' and allow the pulley E to fall back from the belt F. The frame C works in conjunction with a brake R to stop the pulley B more rapidly when the belt ceases to drive. |
