Manufactured by Frick Co. - Waynesboro, Franklin County PA

Abstract: My invention relates to an improvement in traction-engines; and it consists in, first, a gear-frame which consists of a large rigid casting which is bolted or riveted to the extended portions of the outside firebox sheet of the boiler, at and near the rear end of the fire-box, the casting being made to connect the sheet both above and behind second, the combination of the boiler, the engine, and a pivoted expansion-joint, by means of which the front end of the engine is connected to the boiler, as will be more fully described hereinafter. The objects of my invention are to facilitate and cheapen the cost of manufacture, and make it possible to duplicate with certainty any of the main parts of the driving and propelling mechanism; to enable the engine and gearing to be mounted and set np independently of the boiler, and then plated in position and secured to strengthen the structure of a traction-boiler, and prepare it to receive the strain, without injury, which may come upon it from the propelling motion, and so connect the front end of the engine to the boiler that the expansion of the metal, caused by the heat of the boiler, will not interfere with the fastenings by which the engine is attached to the boiler. Claim: A gear-frame or casting which connects the outside edges of the firebox sheet, and which has bearings for the axle and counter-shaft, and a seat upon which the bed of the engine is supported.

Manufactured by Frick Co. - Waynesboro, Franklin County PA
Assigned to Frick Co. - Waynesboro, Franklin County PA

Abstract: My invention relates to an improvement in portable saw-mills; and it consists in, first, a portable saw-mill, in which the axle and the mudsill are secured together or formed in a single piece; second, the combination of the front axle, a mudsill which forms a bolster and is placed thereon, and which is made adjustable for the purpose of leveling the mill while in operation, and by means of which the front wheels can be turned freely in any direction; third, the combination of that part of the frame or mill which is rigidly secured to the sills, with those portions of the ways which are loosely connected thereto and form an extension of' the ways at each end of the frame, and which movable portions are adapted to be folded back on top of the frame while the mill is being moved from place to place; fourth, the combination of the stationary part of the mill, which is secured to the mud-sills, with the movable portion of the ways, and the jointed braces for securing the movable portions of the ways in position; fifth, the combination of the wheels, recessed blocks to receive them while the mill is at work, boards which are applied to opposite sides of the wheels and blocks, and clamping-bolts for securing the parts together and locking the wheels in place; sixth, the combination of the two parts of the head-block provided with wheels, with a toothed rod or pipe for connecting them together: seventh, the cam-washers, by means of which the ground-wheels are locked against lateral motion while the machine is in operation. The object of my invention is to produce a portable saw-mill which can be hauled like a wagon to any desired place, the movable parts quickly adjusted into position, the desired quantity of lumber sawed, and then the movable parts again packed upon the frame, ready to be moved to some other place. Claim: In a portable saw-mill, the combination of the rear sill and axle, combined together so as to form practically one piece, and provided with wheels, the front axle, the front sill, which is adjustably secured upon the front axle, the husk and ways which are placed upon the tops of the wheels and connect them together, the saw, and the carriage which moves back and forth upon the way.

Manufactured by Frick Co. - Waynesboro, Franklin County PA

Abstract: This invention relates to the feed mechanism of sawmill head-blocks whereby the head-blocks are advanced across the log-carriage to feed the log or stick of timber across the line of the saw each time preparatory to sawing a board from the log. My invention consists of certain novel combinations, with such feed mechanism, of mechanical devices for operating it automatically at the required times. Claim: The combination, substantially as before set forth, of the feed-shaft of the head-blocks on the log-carriage of a saw-mill, the ratchet-wheel fixed to said shaft, the loose spur-wheel thereon carrying a pawl for turning said ratchet-wheel, the cross-sliding rack and the lever for sliding it both mounted on the log-carriage, and a stationary camway for vibrating the said lever.
