CHARLES HENRY SCHADT, OF NEIV YORK, N. Y.

ANVIL.

Specificaton of Letters Patent No. 31,410, dated February 12, 1861.

To all whom 'it may concem:

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. SGHADT, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Anvils; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specifioation, in which Figure 1 represents a Vertical central section of my invention. Fig. 2, is a horizontal section of the same taken in the plane indicated by the line m a: Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference in both Views indicate corresponding parts.

Anvils are generally placed on solid wooden blocks or sometimes on barrels or tubs filled with sand, and if such an anvil is used in the upper stories of a house every blow struck on it makes the house tremble, because the full force of the blow is transmitted through the anvil and its solid support to the floor. It has therefore been proposed to place the block of Wood which supports the anvil, on thick pads of india rubber or other elastic substance and by these means the difficulty above alluded to has been remedied, at least to a certain eXtent. But another difficulty arises now; the anvil is liable to move on the floor, so that it has to be replaced at short intervals.

To overcome all those difiiculties is the object of my invention, which consists in the arrangement of a stout spring, resting on the under side of a rising and falling plate which supports the anvil, and which is acted upon from the upper' side by a series of light springs in such a manner that the force of the blow is counteracted by the stout spring and that the recoil of this spring is counteracted by the light Springs.

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention I will proceed to describe its construction and arrangement.

The anvil A is inserted into the cover B of the case C and its round foot, D passes through a plate E and through the guide plate F. The plate E is forced up under the shoulder of the anvil by means'of a stout spring G, which is wound around the foot of the anVil and which rests on the guide plate F, and a series of light springs H are interposed between the loose plate E and the cover B of the case. A false bottom I a short distance under the guide plate F pre- Vents the anVil from sinking down too low if it is eXposed to extraordinary heavy blows.

Under ordinary blows the stout spring G is compressed and the action of the blows on the floor on which the case stands is thereby completely abolished and on rebounding, the spring G fo-l'ces the plate E up against the light springs I-I and a jumping of the anvil or a motion of the case C on the fioor is t-hereby prevented.

It is obvious that this improvement is adaptecl with equal facility to anvils of different forms, and the form and shape of the case has to be altered as occasion may require, but in all cases it is rendered perfectly practicable by my improvement to use an anVil on the upper floor of a building just as well as on the ground floor.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I clailn as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- The arrangeinent of the stout spring G, rising and falling plate E and weak Springs H in combination with the case C and anvil A constructed and Operating substantially as and for the purpose described.

CH. HENRY SCHADT.
