Description: |
| Abstract:
My invention relates to an improvement in portable saw-mills; and it consists in, first, a portable saw-mill, in which the axle and the mudsill are secured together or formed in a single piece; second, the combination of the front axle, a mudsill which forms a bolster and is placed thereon, and which is made adjustable for the purpose of leveling the mill while in operation, and by means of which the front wheels can be turned freely in any direction; third, the combination of that part of the frame or mill which is rigidly secured to the sills, with those portions of the ways which are loosely connected thereto and form an extension of' the ways at each end of the frame, and which movable portions are adapted to be folded back on top of the frame while the mill is being moved from place to place; fourth, the combination of the stationary part of the mill, which is secured to the mud-sills, with the movable portion of the ways, and the jointed braces for securing the movable portions of the ways in position; fifth, the combination of the wheels, recessed blocks to receive them while the mill is at work, boards which are applied to opposite sides of the wheels and blocks, and clamping-bolts for securing the parts together and locking the wheels in place; sixth, the combination of the two parts of the head-block provided with wheels, with a toothed rod or pipe for connecting them together: seventh, the cam-washers, by means of which the ground-wheels are locked against lateral motion while the machine is in operation. The object of my invention is to produce a portable saw-mill which can be hauled like a wagon to any desired place, the movable parts quickly adjusted into position, the desired quantity of lumber sawed, and then the movable parts again packed upon the frame, ready to be moved to some other place.
Claim:
In a portable saw-mill, the combination of the rear sill and axle, combined together so as to form practically one piece, and provided with wheels, the front axle, the front sill, which is adjustably secured upon the front axle, the husk and ways which are placed upon the tops of the wheels and connect them together, the saw, and the carriage which moves back and forth upon the way. |
