Patent Number Date Title Name City Description
261,243 Nov. 18, 1829 Improvements in or Relating to Metal-Planing Machines Robert Binns , England Abstract:
The invention is characterized by the employment of a single cutting tool with two cutting faces or edges, such tool being secured in a pivotally mounted holder and being arranged to present one cutting face in operative position during traverse of the work table in one direction, the holder being then moved pivotally to present the other cutting face of the tool for the reverse traverse of the
work table. An important feature of the invention resides in the means adopted, and hereinafter described, to take the cutting thrusts and relieve from stress the pivot on which the tool holder is mounted.
Claim:
A two-way cutting device for metal-planing machines characterized in that a tool block or holder, pivotally mounted on a bracket fixed to the tool slide and
carrying a tool provided with two cutting faces or edges, is provided with a projection of which the upper surface forms a segment of a circle whose centre is that of the pivots about which the holder moves and that on the bracket carrying the holder there is provided a similarly curved surface beneath which the curved projection on the holder moves and against which it bears.

190,504,932 Jan. 04, 1906 Belt Shifting Appliance for Use in Connection with Speed Cones Joseph Redman , England Abstract:
A device for shifting belts upon speed cones, used particularly in connection with the operation of metal planing machines, consists of two belt forks or loops, one of which forces the belt off a larger to a smaller pulley, while the other, taking up the slack, lifts the other end of the belt off a smaller to a larger pulley.

250,039 Apr. 08, 1926 An Improvement in or Relating to Metal-Planing Machines Robert Binns , England In a machine for producing tapered work such as switches for railway or tramway rails, the tool-slide g is lowered during the cutting stroke of the work-table b and raised during the idle stroke, or vice versa, 'by means of a rack i adjustably attached to the table and connected through gearing to the screw h which adjusts the tool-slide vertically. More than one tool-slide may be operated in a similar manner. The rack engages a pinion j on a vertical shaft k having spiral or other gears l for rotating a shaft m connected by change-gears o to a shaft q which passes through the cross-slide d and is connected to the screw h by two pairs of bevel gears. The first bevel gear r is loose on the shaft q and may be engaged therewith by a sliding clutch w so that one or more of the tool-slides g may be disconnected at will. The mechanism may be thrown out of gear completely by removing the pinion j. A second rack operating on the opposite side of the pinion j may be provided so as to act when the first rack finishes and thus produce a V-shaped cut.
Claim:
The combination with a planing machine, of a rack secured to the work table and operating through suitable intermediate gearing to lower the tool or tools gradually during one direction of movement of the table and to raise it or them to initial position during the return movement of the table.
