BLANK FOR NAILS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 339,189, dated April 6, 1886.
(No model.)
If 0 (0Z5 whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, JOHN T. JONES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Iron Mountain, county of Menominee, State of Michigan, have invented or discovered a new and useful Improvement in Blanks for Nails; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, concise, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part ofthis specification, in whieh-like letters indicating like parts- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved nail-bla-nk. Fig. 2 is an edge View of the same. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a nail cut from the blank.
My invention relates to blanks or plates for the manufacture of nails; and it consists in a new and improved form of blank, all as more fully hereinafter described and claimed.
Nails have heretofore been manufactured by feeding blanks or plates of uniform thick ness into a machine having cutters set at an angle to the line of feed of the blank, so as to give to the nail cut therefrom a tapering body, and the blank being fed is rotated one hun drcd and eighty degrees after each cut, so as to give the nail a taper on two of its sides.
The object of my invention is to so form the nail plates or blanks that nails having the usual tapering sides may be cut therefrom at each out without rotating the blank, and without any waste of material. To this end I form, by rolling in suitably-shaped rolls, nail plates or blanks A,whieh are of the usual shape and size, but have their two sides a tapering from one edge to the other, as shown, and with the sides at one edge beveled off, as at b, so as to form a knifeedge longitudinally along one edge of the blank, to form the point ofthe completed nail. This blank is fedinto anail-machine which has its knives or cutters arranged at right angles to the line of feed of the blank, and the nails are cut off from the blank by series of parallel cuts, as indicated by dotted lines 0 in Fig. 1. After the nail has been severed from the blank it is caught by grippers and headed by a suitable die, as is usual in the ordinary nail-machines.
It is obvious that as the wedgelike or tapering body of the nail is formed by the tapering sides of the blank, there is no necessity for rotating the blank while being fed into the machine, and there will be no waste of material.
I propose to form my blanks from the split fag ends or section of steel rails, or from suitable steel bloom or billets.
In place of forming a knife-edge along one edge of the blank, the edge may be made square.
I claim herein as my invention- A nail plate or blank having tapering sides, both said sides being beveled off, as shown, to form a knifeedge, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
JOHN T. JONES.
