Description: |
| A. J. Sangster - patent attorneyThis invention relates to that class of machines used in the manufacture of barrels or the like known as vertical machines and is chiefly designed to be employed for driving hoops on tight-barrels or barrels adapted to contain liquids. One of the features of the invention has reference to a screw bar which is unrotatably attached at its lower end to the driver head and passes through a rotatable screw sleeve on the machine frame, whereby the construction is simplified and lightened and great strength of structure is obtained at the juncture of the driver head and screw bar and the operation of the driver head and its component parts is rendered smoother and easier. Another feature has reference to a power device for radially shifting the driving arms whereby they are shifted powerfully and accurately with great despatch and by minimum exertion on the part of the workman. Another feature has reference to a bottom plate upon which the barrels are supported which is partially rotated automatically when the hoop driving mechanism is elevated to prevent the drivers contacting with the hoop at the same points again should it be necessary to lower the hoop driving mechanism more than once in order to drive the hoops firmly in place. The principal objects of the invention are to obtain great strength of structure, to vertically operate the hoop driving mechanism smoothly and easily to provide for radially shifting the driving arms powerfully and accurately with a minimum of exertion on the part of the operator and to prevent the hoop drivers pressing against the same points on a hoop on successive descents of the hoop driving mechanism. |
