, compels clamp 14 to swing downwardly.

lcomes to rest,'cams 44 shift shafts 31^in wardly toward body-12 and bring rollers 38 into engagement with the projected end of the blank body 30 and flanges the same outwardly as indicated in Fig. 6, the head 32 being rotated by the pinions 45 as al-` l lready described. Immediately the Hanging 4 heads are' withdrawn and shaft 1l given another quarter turn 4thus advancing the 'Hrst blankto the point D. As `soon as the' parts' start.from point C theclamp 14 is engaged by a spring urged hook which away from its socket13 as shown at the loxver part of Fig. 4. Socket 13 is just a triHe less than a semi-cylinder'so that in practice the blank body is apt to'stick in the coperatingelamp 14 and in order to insure the discharge' of the Hanged blank therefrom I mount in 'each of said clamps 14 an ejector finger 51 having an end 52,

which, when the parts reach the position D,

lies in the path of .movementx of a finger 53 Vcarried by shaft 22 so that', as said sha-ft rotates -it will-'bring finger 53', into engagement with the ejector and eject the flanged can body into the.. discharge run-way 54.

In order to steady the partsduring the operation of the ej ecting into the ejector I pro vide a hook 55 adapted .to engage roller 16.

In order to limit the step-by-step movement' of shaft 1,1 and insure theA proper positioning of head 12 I mounta brake-.head

6() in one end of shaft -11 and provide'a oooperating band brake 61. l' I claim as my invention 1. In a machine of the class described the.

combination of a rotary head having a can receiving socket of less dimension than the lengthbf the blank to be operated upon, a clamping member carried by said head vand, cooperating with 4'said socket, means arranged in the path of movement of said 1 clamping member for holding'thesame in clamping position a pair of Hangmg means .arranged adjacent the rotary head one at each end thereof, means for moving said Hanging means into and out of ooperative relation with .the opposite ends of a can clamped within t-hehead, means for withdrawing the clamping member from clampingftosaid rotary head, and a an chute .re-

'ceiving ,from the ejector.

-combination-of a rotary headl having a can receiving. socket of less dimension than the length of the blank to be operated upon, 'a clamping member carried by said head and vcoperatmg withV said socket, a pair of Hanging means arranged adjacent the rotary head one at each @ndt-hereof, means for moving said Hangin means into and out of coperative relate. n with the opposite.

-ing head.' A V5. In a machine ofthe class-describedM ends of a can clamped Within the head, a

can chute delivering to'said rotaryhead, an ejector carried by said clamping member," and a can chute receiving from the ejector.

3. In a machine of the class'descrlbeda horizontalshaft, a head carried by said shaft and provided with a horizontal can pocket,

means f-or rotatingl said shaft and head, a

clamping head having a complementary can pocket plvoted upon the firstmentioned head1 upon a horizontal axis at. the rear edge of -the can pocket of said first mentioned head,

whereby-the said clamping head will, when left free, hang away from the can pocket of the first head, a can-chute delivering to one of the can pocketswhen the clamping head is extended from the first mentioned head, means for positioning. the can endwise,

4means for temporarilyr holding the clamping head in clamping osition during a short portion of the rotation of the shaft, a rotary Hanging head arranged adjacent the .po-

sition where the clamping head is held in clamping position, means vfor bringingsaid Hanging head intof Hange-forming engage# ment with acan clamped in the can pockets, and a can chute leading from the discharging position of the clamping head. i
