PROCESS FOR SPLITTING WOODEN QUARTERS FOR OBTAINING MERRAINS AND MACHINE FOR IMPLEMENTING SAME.

摘要

According to the present invention, this splitting process for obtaining staves of determined thickness consists in simultaneously attacking the two ends of a quarter of wood lying horizontally and held by its ends between two jaws (3) which can oscillate transversely, at the means of two splitting tools (7), each also able to oscillate transversely in order to follow the grain of the wood, at the free end of the rod (8A) of a control cylinder (8), rod on which each jaw ( 3) is supported in a sliding manner, as well as the support (4) of this jaw which is controlled in movement by a jack (5), and which therefore controls the setting in position of clamping or loosening of this jaw.
