Description: |
| Abstract:
Our invention relates to machines for bundling kindling-wood, of that class in which the wood to be bundled is placed within the machine within movable compressing-straps, or the like and drawn closely together,tied, and the completed bundle automatically ejected from the machine, and the movements of the machine stopped at intervals by disconnecting the working parts from the driving medium. Heretofore in machines of this kind several practical defects have existed. These arise principally from the lack of positive motion in the several parts. In the best-known of these machines the mechanism for ejecting the completed bundle is actuated by a cam mounted outside the principal working parts of the machine, and upon a principal driven shaft thereof; also in the most common form of these machines the driving-power is thrown out only once during a revolution of the principal driven shaft. The object of the present invention is to obviate these defects, and to provide a machine which shall be more positive and reliable in operation, and whereby the bundling of kindling-wood is facilitated, and the bundle produced more durable, compact, and secure.
Claim:
The combination, with the driven gear-wheel having the inclines attached to or formed with the side of the said wheel, of the ejector-plate and the lever connected with the ejector-plate and receiving motion from the inclines, substantially as described, whereby the ejector-plate is moved forward to displace the bundled wood, and then back to its normal position. |
