Improvement in blind-slat-tenoning machine
|
Henry Bickford |
Cincinnati, OH |
From the 1869-12-25 issue of Scientific American: "BLIND-SLAT TENON MACHINE—We have recently patented one of the above Machines, which we GUARANTEE SUPERIOR to any machine of the kind in use. Shall be pleased to furnish cuts and prices of this and any other Wood-working Machinery. Address STEPTOE, McFARLAN & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio."
The 1883 Rowley & Hermance catalog features a "self-feed blind slat tenoner" that "combines parts of both the Bickford and Ellis patents, and is principally used for tenoning short slats for inside blinds", making two tenons at one operation. The Ellis patent referred to is patent 16,534. |

|
James Mills |
Cincinnati, OH |
"...it is not new to apply roughing and finishing cutters to turning-lathes... and therefore, my claim to this features of the invention is not designed to be construed broadly, but is limited to the within-described combination of rapidly-reciprocating laterally-adjustable rougher, driven with a crank-connection, and a pair of independently hand-shiftable finishing-cutters when disposed longitudinally of the lathe and on opposite sites of its spindles." |
