Blacksmith’s Hand Blower
The accompanying cut represents “The New Buffalo Blacksmith’s Hand Blower.” The blower is mounted on an upright iron frame, firmly braced and stiffened, as will be seen by reference to the cut. It is operated by means of a lever, with the swivel motion so natural and east to blacksmiths. A downward pressure of the lever engages the pawls with the small ratchet-wheel, having on its outer periphery a fixed shaft upon which revolves a small and large pinion or gear, cast together. The small pinion, in being thrown forward, is revolved in the opposite direction on its own axis by meshing with the large fixed internal gear, and in turn, communicates motion to the large band or fly-wheel, which, by bel, transmits speed to the fan.
This new accelerating and balanced motion principle of transmitting power for increased speed, assures simplicity, power, and noiseless action, and an immunity from getting out of order.
The entire mechanism is operated on one fixed steel shaft, with a combination of strong, heavy toothed gears, arranged in such a manner as to prevent any slipping. It affords a positive motion, and is operated with perfect ease.
All parts are made interchangeable and may be adjusted to their respective places without a particle of fitting. It produces a strong and steady blast.
This tool is entirely new and original and is secured to the manufacturers, The Buffalo Forge Company, of Buffalo, N. Y., by letters patent, and is guaranteed to give satisfaction. The Buffalo Forge Company will be glad to answer all inquiries. |
