Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention relates to the feed mechanism of sawmill head-blocks whereby the head-blocks are advanced across the log-carriage to feed the log or stick of timber across the line of the saw each time preparatory to sawing a board from the log. My invention consists of certain novel combinations, with such feed mechanism, of mechanical devices for operating it automatically at the required times.
Claim:
The combination, substantially as before set forth, of the feed-shaft of the head-blocks on the log-carriage of a saw-mill, the ratchet-wheel fixed to said shaft, the loose spur-wheel thereon carrying a pawl for turning said ratchet-wheel, the cross-sliding rack and the lever for sliding it both mounted on the log-carriage, and a stationary camway for vibrating the said lever. |
