Description:

Abstract:

Our invention relates to means for automatically controlling, in a veneer cutting machine, the speed at which the log from which the veneer is cut is rotated and particularly , to means for maintaining the peripheral speed of the log constant as the cut is made deeper into the log.

Claim:

The combination with a veneer cutting machine having means for rotating the log and means for feeding the cutting knives toward said log, of a speed varying mechanism drivingly connected with the log rotating means and comprising two pairs of friction cones, a connecting belt, two controlling levers acting upon said pairs of cones to variably position the same relatively to one an-other, means for simultaneously shifting controlling -levers, and means operated by the movement of the knives for operating said lever shifting means.
