Patent 26844 Summary

Claim lst In an edger, the combination of the friction drain E on the shaft C, which has bearings on the frame T, and which is driven by pulleys and belting connected with the mandrel B, and the friction wheel H on the shaft G which has an eccentric bearing f actuated by the arm F, which is pivotally attached to the lever arm Fi, and adapted to move the friction wheel H into and out of gear with the friction drum E, and from and against the brake H, substantially as described. 2nd In an edger, the combination of the guide-bars c and d bolted to the frame T, and the cross-head 0, which is pivotally connected to one end of the arm q, the other end of said arm g being pivotally attached to the end of the pivoted lever-arm P, the shifter-arm Q which is rigidly attached to the cross-head, and which contains an oil-case, the end of which clutches the connecting collar n between the adjustable saw collars r, so as to shift the position of the adjustable saw collars r on the mandrel B when motion is given to the cross-head, substantially as specified. 3rd The combination of a press roller attached to a frame which is pivoted to the main frame, and the springs S which are bolted to the top of said main frame, the ends thereof being free, the ends of said roller being adapted to rest on said springs near the free ends, substantially as specified. 4th The combination of the guard X, pivoted to the main frame, and having curved fingers Y which rest between the wheels on the rear press roller R., substantially as described and for the purpose specified. 5th In en edger, the frame T cast in one piece, and having the upper portion T. in the form of a circle, at the centre of which the mandrel B has bearings, in combination with the movable bearing-piece N having arms which radiate from the said centre and bolted to the frame, substantially as specified. 6th In an edger, the extension-piece A, which affords bearings for the friction-drum shaft C, and mandrel B, in combination with the main T of the machine to which said extension-piece is rigidly secured, substantially as described. 7th The frame T, which affords bearings for shafts which carry the pulleys I, k, K, K', in combination with with the straight belt i, which is driven by motion communicated from the friction-wheel shaft G, substantially as specified. 8th The The frame T, which affords bearings for shafts which carry the pulleys I, k, K, K1 and 1, and the roller L, in combination with the straight belt i which is driven by friction-wheel shaft G, substantially as described and for the purpose specified. 9th The combination of the mandrel B, the removable bearing-piece N bolted to the main frame, the fixed saw collars s and loose collars t, substantially as described and for the purpose specified.
