Description
WALTER HUNT, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
NAIL AND MACHINE FOR MAKING THE SAME.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 1,407, dated November 12, A1839.
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, WALTER HUNT, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Shape or Form of and Mode of Manufacturing Cut Nails, Brads, &c., and that the following is a full, true, and accurate description of the form of said nails, &c., and also of the machine for and mode o-f manufacturing the same.
The improvement in the form of said nails, brads, &c., consists in their being cut (from hoops or plates of iron) with blunt wedge-shaped points and dove tail, o-r wedge shaped heads, as shown in Figure 4, inthe annexed drawings which also exhibits the nail plate, from which they are cut, alternately head, and point; see Nos. l, 2, 3, il, each intervening point being cut from between the projections which form one half of each head of the adjoining nails, which heads are separated on a line with the center, or edge, of the point of said intermediate nail.
The machine for the above purpose of cutting said nails, is constructed as follows: See the annexed drawings which are marked with the scale of dimensions over each. Fig. 1, letter A, is a strong cast iron frame, in the form of a right-angled oblong box, with a metal shaft B made to revolve in bearings C C upon the top of said frame A at right angles with, and near the center of the same. In the center of said shaft B midway between its said bearings, are inserted the two rotary cutters D D which are shown in Figs. 1 and 2, but more perfectly exhibited in an enlarged sectional view Fig. 5 D D. Said cutters are square blocks of steel,except their outer surfaces, and are fitted into mortises, cut into opposite sides of the said shaft, each about one-third of the way through the same, and are regulated and secured in their places by a strong screw E, which passes through the center of each into said shaft at B. Said screws are formed with a collar or ring made solid on the shaft of the same, at F which fits into a countersink, under the bottom of said cutters, while the upper end of the screw, or bolt, passes up through the center of the same, and receives a nut G upon the upper surface of the cutter, which is then let into a corresponding countersink in the top and somewhat below the surface of the same, as shown in said Fig. 5, letters G Gr which nut binds the cutters down upon the collar F as aforesaid, and by turn" ing the screw F F in, or out, the cutters are raised, or depressed, and secured firm, by turning down the nuts Gr 'G as aforesaid.
Horizontally opposite to the shaft B are placed two bed-cutters H H arranged side by side upon a carriage I, which is made to vibrate` laterally with the shaft B upon a platform, or bed V (see Figs. 6, 1 and 2,) which is cast solid with the frame A somewhat below, and formingabout 'one third portion of its upper surface. On the back end of said carriage, it is extended into two arms J J, which are nicely fitted in Corresponding slots in the sides of the frame A and which serve as guides to keep the said carriage steady in its vibrations. The aforesaid bed-cutters are fastened down to the carriage I by central screws K K and are adjusted by means of tail-screws L L, which are formed with indented or female collars, fitted into corresponding slots in the back of said carriage Ias shown atv L-L Figs. 1 and 6 so that the cutters H H may be raised out by unscrewing K K and without altering or turning the said tail-screws, which lare only lmoved, in the horizontal adjustment of the s aid bed-cutters. Near the outside of said bed-cutters are two steel guides M M the back ends of which are secured by screwsor otherwise; firm in the carriage while the Vforward ends project and fit .into zigzag grooves or slots N N made around the shaft B turning alternately to the right, and left, ontwo opposite sides of the same, and `upon the outsides of the rotary cutters D D afore- Y j said. By this arrangement, the vibrating motion of the carriage I and bed-cutters H H is produced; the impulse being given by the rotation of the shaft B' soit-hat the bed-cutters are alternately brought opposite to their respective mates, the rotary cutters D D as shown in Fig. l. Over the carriage I is placed a top, or guide plate O as shown in the sectional drawings Figs. 2 and 3, the latter of which is detached from the frame A, upon which it is to be bolted through the holes 1, 2, 3, 4;. Under the bottom of said guide-plate at P is a gage-slot through which the nail-plate Z is introduced directly on a line with the rotary cutters D D and in which the latter are secured. Centrally upon the top-plate are two ears,
or flanges Q Q between which is secured the end of a tilt-bar R, secured by -acenterV bolt passing through the same, which tilt-'bar is forked at its acting end and passes lengthwise over the frame AV and ,rotary cutters D D leaving room in the opening of the forks for said cutters to revolve in, free of 1 H H at the times that the nails are being cut olf by the rotary-cutters'D D, (see Figs. l, 2, 5,) which exhibits Ia profile view of this arrangement, showing at T T vportions of the shaft which are left to operate as cams upon the under side of the tilt-bar at X and which raises the same a suiicient length of time for the nail pl-ate 'Z to beforced forward by the hand of the operator, or otherwise, and Vis brought down again by its own I or additional weight, v(as the shaftB presents'n its revolution, its indented portions and confines the nail-plate as aforesai f f The form', of my sho-wn inFigs. 6, l, and 2letters H H is a right angled, six sided slab of steel correspending in width', vwith the lengthfof the nail to be cut, about double, in length and one half of the same infts thickness. The
" outer ends of my rotary-cutters, are convex,
nearly on the same curve with that which is described by the limits of their revolution,
i though somewhat raised at their cutting'corners, as shownv in Fig. 5 letters E E, which is an`end.view,of the shaft B cut oft through their centers. `The edges or cutting corners of Vboth rotary and bed-cutters, are formed vprecisely similar to the lines of separation as shown between the nails 5, 6, 7, 8, in Fig. 7 and are made tomatch, in pairs, in the same manneras said nails are representedV by said bed-cutters, which is lines. ofseparation, and alternately, a rotary cutter on "one side of the shaftB, to one of thereciprocating cutters, and the opposite rotary, to the adjoining reciprocating cutter,
, H, successively;
The Wiathof the nails, is regulated by the projection of,4 therotary `cutters above the surface or periphery "ofthe'shaft B. Consequently'the mode of using is confined simplyto the rotationl'of `the shaftB and the introductionof the nalplate` Z as before described.` .i
Thenature of motion', and of effect hav-` ing been fully explainedinthe above, I deem a recapitulation thereof, entirely superiuous, neither do I consider it pertinent to `my specification, or claims, to attempt a descrip-.
tion of the various modes of manufacturing, or, 4forms in which nails, and brads,V have been wrought, or out ,although I am aware that brads have been out from hoop, or plate iron; so as to make the head of one out of the metal leftbeyond the oint of" another, alternately,'on-opposite si' es, and thatfthe same havebeen made,by hboth rotary, andr reciprocating machines, and that nails and spikes have'been made with wedge shaped pointsand with pyramidal, or square coun-` tersunk heads, neither of which brads,
spikes, nails, or machines for makingl the Vsalme are included 1n Vmy claims; but
What'I doclaim and desireto secure by Letters Patent, ils-V y 1L The making of the `two sides of the head of one'nail out of the metal left by cut; ting the wedge shaped points of the nails on each side, as herein above described, and ,this I claim whether effected by the above A described machine, or any other.
2. Also in the mach'ne above described,
claim `the shiftingfofthe bed cutters, for the purpose, and in the manner thereinset forth.
' In. testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribedrmy hand,\this l4thday of Oct.
