Description: |
| Munson & Philipp- patent attorneysTo form a barrel-body a number of properly shaped staves are assembled in circular form, by setting them up in a truss-hoop of suitable dimensions, in which such a number are placed vertically as will, with their edges resting snugly together, form a circular body filling such hoop. Their lower ends being thus I held, their upper ends flare outwardly to a considerable degree add require great power to bring them together so that their edges will meet and be adapted to receive a second truss-hoop, which, with the first truss-hoop, secures the staves in the form of a barrel-body, which may be safely handled in the further manipulations necessary to finish it. The present improvements relate to the machine known as a "windlass," which operates to draw the flaring stave ends together to receive the second trussing-hoop. The invention consists in a novel mechanism controlling the movements of the windlass which winds up the tightening-rope whereby its movements are regulated, and means for slacking said rope and unwinding it from said windlass; also, in combinations of mechanisms. |
