WILLIAM H. RYAN, OF BELTON, TEXAS.
BORING AND TENONING MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 276,476, dated April 24, 1883.
Application fied January 31,1883. (No model.)Lo all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM HI. RYAN, of
Belton, in the county of Bell and State of
Texas, have invented a new and useful Im-
provement in a Combined Hollow Anger At-
tachment and Felly-Boring Machine; and I do
hereby declare that the following is a full,
clear, and exact description of the same, refer-
ence being had to the accompanying drawings,
forming part of this specification, in which-
Figure 1 is a perspective view, showing the
device as arranged for boring the fellies; and
Fig. 2 is a cross-section through the line x x.
My invention relates to an improved felly-
boring machine which is adapted with slight
adjustment to co-operate with a hollow auger
for forming the tenons on the spokes.
My invention consists in the construction
of the Irame, thie clamp for securing it to the
spokes or felly-supports, and in the means for
holding and adjusting the anger, all combined
as hereinafter fully described.
In the drawings, which show the adjustment
of the machine for boring the felly, A repre-
sents a table or support for the felly, which
table has two lugs, a a, against which the outer
curve of the felly-section bears to resist the
boring strain.
B is the felly-section, which is clamped upon
its table by a binding-screw, C; and D is the
anger for boring the hole in the felly. The
felly-table is provided with an arm, E, whose
upper edge is V-shaped, and upon which rests
the V-shaped bearings b b of the main frame
F F'. This frame has its section F parallel
with the arm E, while the section F' rises ver-
tically from section F, and then passes hori-
zontally, giving a bearingforthebinding-screw
C, and at its end turns down again. At the
outer end of the section F of the main frame
there are two arms, G G, projecting at right
angles, while just above said sectionis aspring,
H, having at its end a clamp, I, that extends
around both the part F of the frame and the
arm E of the felly-table, and said clamp is pro-
vided with a screw, J, by which the frame F
F' and the felly-table and arm can be tightlyclamped together. Upon the downwardly-pro-
jecting outer end of the elevated part F' of
the main frame is formed a rib, which is re- 50
ceived into a groove, c, in a slotted slide, K,
which latter is adjustably clamped tothe frame
F' by a set-screw, L, and which slide carries
at its lower end a hollow sleeve, which forms
the guide through which the boring-tool works. 55
Now, in operating the machine for boring
the follies the felly-sections are placed on the
table against the lugs a a and fastened in place
by the binding-screw 0. The sliding guide K
is then adjusted vertically by its set-screw un- 6o
til the boring-tool is in the center of the felly,
and the auger or boring-tool is then rotated
against the felly to bore the hole. To form
the tenon on the spokes, after the latter are
fixed in the hub, the frame F F' is removed 65
from the felly-table and arm by releasing the
screw-clamp, and one of the spokes of the
wheel is made to fit in the seats or bearings b
b of the frame F F', while the right-angular
arms G G bear against the two adjacent spokes 70o
to hold the frame steady on the wheel. The
binding-screw C is now raised out of the way
and a hollow auger substituted for the plain
auger D, and this being adjusted by means of
the sliding guide K so that it fits onto the end 75
of the spoke, the hollow auger is then rotated
and made to cut the tenon on the spoke.
Having thus described my invention, what
I claim as new is-
1. The frame F F', having arms G at one 8o
end and seats b b at the side, combined with
spring H, clamp I, connected to frame, sub-
stantially as shown, and adjustable auger-
guide K, substantially as described.
2. The frame FF', with seats b b, spring H, 85
clamp 1, which retains frame F to bar E, bind-
ing-screw C, for holding the work, and adjust-
able anger-guide K, combined with the felly-
table, having lugs a a and arm E, substantially
as described.
WILLIAM H. RYAN.
