I Letters Patent No. 103,394, dated .May 24, 1870.

rMPRovED :eroleszzz-lowerz sAWrNG-MACHINB.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the am To all whom it may concern Beit known that I, ASA Trione, ot'Nebl-aska, in' the county of Pickaway and State of Ohio,- have 'in-' )owcr the arrangement heine such that the machine' l 7 u. D

may be used for driving other machinery; and

The invention consists in the construction and ar.

rangement ot parts, as hereinafter more fully described.

In the accompanying drawing Figure l represents a top or plan view of the machine. Y

Figure 2 is a front-end view.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding vpart-s.

A represents the frame, which is rectangular' in form, made of wood or iron, and'ot suitable size and strength.

B is the driving or master-wheel, to which 'the power' is applied by means ot' thelcver O.

rlhe shaft of this wheel drops .into a step in the V lower part of the frame, and revolves horizontally just above the top ofthe frame, so that the lever() sweeps f over the entire machine. v

At the forward end of the frame there is a vertical shaft, asseen at D, with a pulley, E, on its top end, near and above the top of the frame, and with a band- I wheel F on its lower portion.

G is a belt from the master-wheel B, which passes.

around the-pulley E, and 'revolves the shaft D and band-wheel F. A y

From the band-wheel F a belt, H, extends back beneath the master-wheel, around a pulley, I, which is attached to a vertical shaft, VJ, which carries the crank-wheel K.

L is a rod connected with the wheel K by a crankpin,fm., which rod extends forward beneath the machine, and connects with the slide N, to'the end of which slide the saw is attached.

.O is a trunk, covering the slide N, over which the horse steps-in operating the machine.A A quick, re

ciprocating motion is thus given the saw, which, for sawing logs or timber across the grain, is very effective. I is a transverse shaft, which may be revolved from a pulley on the shaft D, for communicating Vmotion to other machinery.

R is a draft-rod connected with the lever C, and

witl1 the rim of thc master-wheel S in a tightening-v f pulley.

It will be seen that, by this arrangement, there are no gear or cog-wheels to break or get out ot' order, and that the machine will run without noise, and be most effective in its operation.

This machine is portable, and may be carried to the wood for sawing fire-wood, or for other purposes.

In sawing up'a log or a tree, the machine may he moved along, or the log may be fed up to the saw on suitable ways provided for the purpose.

Having thus described my invention,

V I claim as new and desire tov secure by Letters Patentl A portable sawing-machine,.having the `vertical shaft D, pulley, H, band-wheel F, pulley I, shaft J, and crank-disk K, arranged on the frame A, and with respect tothe driving-wheel B, in the manner described.
