ING'I'ON.

Application filed September 23, 1924.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK J. VVnenn,

a citizen of the United States, residin at Hoquiam, in the county of Grays Harbor and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Saw Mounts, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain improvements in saw mounts and has relation more particularly to a device of this general character especially designed and adapted for use in connection with a sawmill edger and it is an object of the invention to provide a novel and improved mount of this general character wherein the collar of the mount is pro vided with a removable liner whereby the same can be readily replaced when becoming unduly worn.

It is also an object of the invention to provide a novel and improved device of this general character wherein the liner therefor serves to maintain the keys in applied position within the nave opening of the collar.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and ar rangement of the several parts of my improved saw mount whereby certain important advantages are attained and the device rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The novel features of my invention will hereinafter be definitely claimed.

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a saw mount constructed in accordance with an embodiment of my invention;

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken radially through the device as illustrated in Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.

As disclosed in the accompanying drawings, 1 denotes a collar adapted to be mounted upon the saw shaft as is well known in connection with sawmill edgers and an end portion of said collar has disposed therearound an outstanding annular flange 2.

ASHIIIGTON, ASSIG-NOR T0 GRAYS HARBOR IRON & M'ACHIIIE WORKS, 035 1513123213155 N, WASHING-T811, A CQE-POBATIQN OF WASH- IIIOUNT.

Serial No. 739,361.

Coacting with the flange 2 and threaded upon the opposite end portion of the collar 1 is a clamping sleeve 3 for maintaining the saw 111 applied position upon the mounting. The opposed faces a of the, flange 2 and the sleeve 3 are preferably concaved and pro geeting outwardly from the inner face a, of the flange 2 are the pins or lugs 1 adapted to project through the openings or recesses provided in the saw not shown). The opposite end portions of the collar 1 are provided with the internal rabhets 5 in which are adapted to be threaded the liner rings 6 preferahly of bronze and which extend a slight distance inwardly of the nave opening of the collar 1 for direct contact with the saw shaft. The rings 6 are readily removable so that they can be taken out and replaced with very little expense. It is well-known that a mount of this kind is shifting constantly and without the use of the rings 6 such action would rapidly wear out the collar 1 and the saw shaft or arbor. The bronze rings 6, however, as herein disclosed do not wear out the arbor thereby greatly increasing the life thereof.

The outer face of each of the rings 6 is provided with the pockets or recesses 7 in which a suitable implement is adapted to be engaged to facilitate the application or removal of the ring. As particularly illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 it is to be noted that the inner end surface of each of the rin 's 6 and the adjacent end wall of the rahbet 5 are correspondingly beveled in a direction toward the longitudinal center of the collar 1 for a purpose to be hereinafter more particularly referred to.

The wall of the nave opening of the collar 1 is provided entirely therealong and at diametrically opposed points with the grooves or keyways 8 in each of which is engaged a tenon 9 of a key 10. each end of the tenon 9 terminatin inwardly of the adjacent end of the key 10 a distance substantially equal to the width of a ring 6. The ends of the key 10 are beveled similarly to the bevel of the inner end faces of the rings 6 so that the rings 6 when applied coact with the tenon 9 of each of the keys 10 to effectively maintain the key in applied position. To remove or apply a key 10 it is onlv necessary to remove a ring 6.

The keys 10 are adapted to engage within suitably positioned keyways in the saw shaft or arbor as is well-known to those skilled in the art to which the present invention relates.

The peripheries of the flange 2 and the sleeve 3 are provided. with the circumferentially spaced pockets or reeesses 1.1 with which suitable implements are adapted to be engaged to effect the relative rotation between the collar 1 and the sleeve 3.

From the foregoing description it is thought to be obvious that a saw mount constructed in accordance with my invention is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled and operated, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without departing from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting self to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice except as hereinafter claimed.

I claim 1. A saw mount comprising a collar, saw

engaging means carried thereby, liner rings reinovably engaged within the opposite end portions of the collar, said rings, when ap-- plied, extending inwardly of the wall of the nave openingof the collar, a wall of the nave opening being provided therealong with a groove, and a key engageable within said groove, the key and rings coacting to hold the key, when the rings are applied, in working position.

2. A saw mount comprising, in combination, a collar, the ends of the collar being provided with internal rabhets, liner tting within the rabbets, said rings extending inwardly of the wall of the nave opening of the collar when the rings are applied, the wall of the nave opening being provided therealong with a groove, a key arranged within the nave opening of the collar and provided with a tenon fitting within the groove, said tenon terminating inwardly of the opposite ends of the key, the rings when applied engaging the ends of the tenon to hold the key in working position.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afliX my signature.

FREDERICK J. WEBER.
