IMPROVED SHINGLE The well-established superiority shingles over those which are sawed of manual labor which is an mildly expended in shaving shingles hy hand has called forth a great deal of inven tive effort to devise some mode of accomplishing the same results by means of machinery. We have seen some large and expensive machines which made vcry handsome shaved shingles but it is of course very desir able to supersede them by others smaller cheaper and more simple. Such is the Object of the invention which we here illustrate. A is the bolt from which the shingles are to be rived previously
IMPROVED SHINGLE The well-established superiority shingles over those which are sawed of manual labor which is an mildly expended in shaving shingles hy hand has called forth a great deal of inven tive effort to devise some mode of accomplishing the same results by means of machinery. We have seen some large and expensive machines which made vcry handsome shaved shingles but it is of course very desir able to supersede them by others smaller cheaper and more simple. Such is the Object of the invention which we here illustrate. A is the bolt from which the shingles are to be rived previously got out in proper size and form now placed upon the inclined bed of the machine as shown. The b 01 t remains stationary merely dropping down as the shingles are rived from its lower side while the knife H Fig. 2 is fastened to the right hand ed of the bed se which receives a recipro cating motion from the crank r Fig. 2. The shingle is split off as the knife is being drawn back from the right to the left dropping down upon the slats j ready to be pushed forward through the shaving knives on the slats j are about an inch in width and an inch apart and are stationary while the reciprocating bed m is fur nished with similar slats slid ing freely between the slats j. The square ends of the moving slats coming against the end of the rived shingle press it between the planing ing shingle and the remainder of the bolt and support. the bolt till the stroke is completed ; when thebed at returns Wi the left to the out from beneath ihe bolt allowing it to fall down upon the bed se in front of the riving knife. In thismotioa of the bed from left to right the shingle is planed in the proper wedke shape by being pushed between the knives C C which are gradually brought more nearly together during the passage of the shingle. This motion of the knives is effected by bolting them securely to the slides B B and imparting to these slides a short reciprocating motion by means of the cranks D D. Thes
