Patent Number Date Title Name City Description
293,289 Feb. 12, 1884 Metal Planing Machine Edward P. Walter Bridgeport, Fairfield County, CT Wooster & Smith - patent attorneys
Abstract:

Our invention relates to certain novel and useful improvements in machines for planing metal, and has for its object to impart motion from the driving-pulleys to the mechanism which effects the movements of the table by positive and uniform means, while at the same time the arrangement of the pulleys may be more convenient, and all unnecessary rattling noise common to planers done away with.
Claim:
The combination, with a metal planer, having an obliquely arranged shaft provided with a spirally-toothed pinion meshing with a rack in the table and a spur-wheel on its outer extremity, of a transversely arranged driving-shaft, having a spirally-toothed pinion meshing with said spur-wheel.

308,715 Dec. 02, 1884 Metal Planing Machine Edward P. Walter Bridgeport, Fairfield County, CT Abstract:
Our invention relates to certain novel and useful improvements in machines for planing metal, but more especially to that particular mechanism of said machines which, controls and regulates the slide of the table, and has for its object to provide means for controlling the movement of said table, whereby the latter may slide beyond the working limit for the purpose of examining or changing the work without shifting the shipping-blocks or lifting the table, and thereby throwing it out of gear, while at the same time it is not necessary for the workman to remove the stop from between the shipping-blocks.
Claim:
In a planing-machine, the mechanism which reverses the movement of the table, in combination with the shaft having secured thereon the crank-arm, the shoulders cast integral with and the stop pivoted to said crank-arm, and the shipping-blocks arranged on the table.
