UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
DAVID F. HOFSTATTER AND WILLIAM H. SHAW, OF NEW LONDON, OHIO.
IMPROVEMENT IN SWAGES FOR FORMING HORSE SHOES.
Specification forming part of Letters PatentNo. 137,923, dated April 16, 1873; application filed February 12, 1873.
To all whom zt may concern:
Be it known that we, DAVID F. HOFSTAT- TER and WILLIAM H. SHAW, residing at New London, in the county of Huron and State of Ohio, have invented certain Improvements on Horseshoe-Swages, of which the following is a specification:
This invention relates to that kind of swages which are employed by blacksmiths to facilitate the finishing of horseshoes by welding the toe-calks thereto, and shaping-the shoes to fit the hoofs of the animals. Our improvement consists in providing'a block of metal having a flat base from which a square shank projects for insertion in the hardy-hole of the anvil, with a top in part rounded and in part fiat, the end of the swa-ge adjoining the flat portion of its top being also rounded.
In welding the toe-call; to the blank shoe, the latter is placed upon the flat portion of the top of the swage, so as to bring the downwardly-projectin g toe-calk up against its roun ded end, against which it may then be harnmered. This having been done, the shoe may be slipped over the swage, where its top is rounded and properly shaped and finished.
Figure l is an end view of our improved swage. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation thereof.
The same letters of reference are used in all the figures in the designation of identical parts.
The swage has a flat base with which to rest upon the anvil, and a downwardly-projecting square shank, B, fitting the hardy-hole thereof. The top of the swage is rounded or con vex at A, being made of such a width that the smallest sizes of shoes may readily he slipped over it. and the convexity very nearly corresponds to the interior curvature of a shoe. At A the top is fiat, and the end adjacent thereto is rounded or convex, as at A.
