A. J. Sangster - patent attorneyWe claim as our invention;1. In a machine of the character described, a frame, cross heads slidably mounted in said frame, a rod connecting said cross heads, hoop lock cutting blades having support from the frame, a loop encircling the connecting rod and operatively attached to the lock cutting blades, a shaft and cranked connections between the shaft and cross heads, substantially as set forth.2. In a machine of the character described, a frame, cross heads slidably mounted in said frame, a rod connecting said cross heads, hoop lock cutting blades having support from the frame, operating means connecting the rod and lock cutting blades, and means for reciprocating the cross heads, substantially as set forth.3. In a machine of the character described, a frame, cross heads slidably mounted in said frame, a rod connecting said cross heads, hoop lock cutting blades having support from the frame, operating means connecting the rod and lock cutting blades, means for reciprocating the cross heads and a plurality of holding hooks having stems vertically above the connecting rod, substantially as set forth.4. In a machine of the character described, a frame, cross heads slidably mounted in said frame, a rod connecting said cross heads, a hoop lock cutter blade mounted on the frame near each end thereof and each blade being arranged to cut oppositely to the other, and one of said blades being adjustable relatively to the other blade, operating means connecting the rod and cutting blades and means for reciprocating the cross heads, substantially as set forth.5. In a machine of the character described a frame, a hoop lock cutter blade mounted on the frame near each end thereof and each blade being arranged to cut oppositely to the other, one of said blades being adjustable, a lever having operating connection to said adjustable blade and means for locking said lever in its adjusted position.6. In a machine of the character described, a frame, a hoop lock cutter blade mounted on the frame near each end thereof, one of said blades being adjustable, a lever having operating connection to said adjustable blade, a bar attached to the frame and a series of stops attached to said bar.7. In a power driven machine for cutting locks in hoops, the combination of hoop holding mechanism, hoop lock cutting mechanism and hoop ejecting mechanism, all of said mechanisms being automatically operated by machine power, whereby the machine is entirely automatic in operation, the operator being merely required to feed the hoop blanks into the machine.8. In a power driven machine for cutting locks in hoops, the combination of hoop holding mechanism, hoop lock cutting mechanism, hoop ejecting mechanism, and automatic power driven means for operating all of said mechanisms in proper order whereby the machine is entirely automatic in operation.9. In a machine of the character described, a frame, cross heads slidably mounted in said frame and connected to each other, hoop lock cutting blades having support from the frame and operated from the cross heads andmeans for reciprocating the cross heads, substantially as set forth.10. In a machine of the class described, a main frame, two cutter frames mounted on the main frame and each carrying lock cutters, a plurality of hoop holding hooks, supporting blocks mounted on the main frame and having slideways for some of said hooks, and the cutter frames also having slideways for some of said hooks, substantially as set forth.11. In a machine of the class described, a frame having a rectangular top bed and vertical end parts, a horizontal longitudinally extending shaft journaled in said frame, a cross head mounted in slideways in each of the end parts so as to slide vertically therein, a horizontal bar connecting said cross heads, a crank mounted at each end of the shaft,connections between the cranks and cross heads, and lock cutting mechanism having operative connection to the horizontal bar connecting the cross heads, substantially as set forth |
