Description: |
| "Mr. Hamilton describes and claims—"1. A combination of machinery applicable chiefly to sawing the head and other staves of casks. In this machine two blocks of wood are shown at the same time under the operation of a suitable number of saws, which are mounted in two saw-gates, those in the front gate entering the wood about two inches in advance of those in the back gate, and then diverging to the right to form one side of the stave; the saws in the back gate following the others in the same straight cut, and then diverging at the same point in the opposite direction to form the other side of the stave, and finally leaving the block in the same cut as those in the front gate. The machine is provided with templates, to guide the saws in cutting staves of the required shape. The number of saws may be varied, and, if desired, they may be made to enter and leave the wood simultaneously."2. A combination of machinery for performing the operations technically called 'backing and hollowing' staves. This is effected by rotating concave and convex adzes or cutters."3. A combination of machinery for boring the dowel-holes in the staves of casks. The principal features of this machine are the setting of the drills so as to be adjustable with regard to each other, and mounting them in a frame which may be set at an angle if desired."4. A combination of machinery for giving staves the requisite shape and bevel. The circular saw, by which this is effected, is hung in the usual way, and the stave is placed on the bench at the required angle to give it the necessary bevel, and guide by hand to obtain the proper shape."5. A combination of machinery for forming 'dowels' for casks. In this machine two cutters are employed, one to cut off a piece of wood of the requisite size, the other a circular hollow tool to finish the dowel. The first cutter is placed at a higher level than the finisher, and the severed piece of wood slides down an incline, and is forced against the second cutter by the continuous action of the machine." |
