Description: |
| "Our improvements relate to the transferring of the splints after they are cut (by the dies in the usual way) from the dies to the rack and placing them therein the rack being so constructed and arranged as to favor the same."Machines have heretofore been made with passages or tubes leading from the dies to the rack in which the splints being cut force those ahead of them along the passages and into the rack. These for numerous objections have been laid aside and the pieces of the rack filled separately by hand, and the racks being made with notches on both sides of the pieces, when filled, clamped, and dipped, the removal of the splints is a delicate troublesome operation owing to some sticking in the upper and some in the lower notches or both, causing them to drop, or requiring them to be carefully picked out, as the nature of a match is such that it will not bear rough handling. Whereas by our improvements each splint is taken and placed in the rack and after being dipped each piece of the rack will have them only on its upper side and can be handled with facility without danger." |
