IMPROVEMENT IN DEVICES FOR INSERTING- THE P INTLES ORPINS IN BUTT-HINGES.

Ihe Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same To all whom it may] concern.- 7 v Beit known that I, Looms P. SUMMEns,of--Ne\v Britain, in the'county of Hart-ford'and State of Gennectlcut, have invented and made aulmprovemerlt iii-Means for Driving Butt-hinge Pins; and the-following isdeclared to be a correct description of the same. p I Y Machineshave heretofore been made for driving hinge-pins, inpwhich the wire is drawn in, cut off, and

forced into the hingc, -and a reference is hereby made to the patent of H. 1). Blake, assigned to 1. 85 F.

CORBIN, granted March 24, 1868.

My invention relates to the peculiar construction of the holding and driving mechanism, that receives,

guides, and forces the wire into the hinge-joint.

In tlie'machines heretofbre made, the wire is liable to be bent-,and difficulty is experienced in directingit into the hole'in the butt. My improvement obviates all these difiicnlties, and consists in a holder for "the pin, made with a hole and intersecting longitudinal groove 0r slot and a driver working into the holder. The pin to be dii'veuis fed into the hole in'the holder, aml'the'fdriver, which is made as a punch on the edge of a projecting'feather to fit" the said groove, is employed to force the pin into the hinge. 1n the drawing- Figure 1 is an elevation, partially in sectioiushowing my improvement;

.Figure 2,is a section of the holder and driver a the linexx; and 1 Figure .3 shows the separate parts sectionally.

The holder a is made-with a groove along its edge, of a size and shape adapted to the. hinge-pin to be driven. The inner part b of said groove. is similar to a three-quarter round hole, the other quarter, or

about that proportion, being a. groove, 6, longitudin'allypf the holder, and opening into the said 'hole.

This .hol'dcr maybe made of one solid, piece, or of two pieces screwed together, and the end of the hole I) is flaring, to facilitate the insertion of the wire.

The driver [1 is made with a fin, c, and cylindrical punch e, fitting loosely the groove 1) i, so as to be slidden therein. g The parts to be made use of are to be mounted in any suitable frame and operated by mechanism of any desired or well-known character.

The blank previously out is introduced into the hole I) by any suitable feeding device, or it may be fed a gauged distance into the-hole b, and then out olfby any suitable cutter. The Sites of the hole I) and wire I are such that the wire will bev sustained and kept from bending, but it can be moved endwise with facility by the driver 6, that receives motion at the proper time from a cam or otherwise. v

The hinge f is presented and held in the proper place at the end of the hole bof the pin-holder, so that said pin or wire o'may be driven into the same, to connectthe two parts ofsaid hinge. The device aforesaid, although primarily intended to'be operated by automatic means in machines for making hinges, might beemployed by hand,'if desired. Y

'I claim as my invention-'- The combination of the punch e, fin c, and driver (I, with the holder (1., provided with. a hole, I), to re ce ive the wire, and a slot, r7, less than the diameter of the hole I), substantially as and for the purpose described, I Signed by me this 3d day of J une, A. D. 1870.
