a. J. HAGER. I MAUHINE- FOR MAKINGGLEATS No, 349,587. Patented S iJfQZI, 1886'.
NiTEn STATES PATENT CHARLES J HAGER, OF BEATRICE, NEBRASKA.
MACHINE FOR MAKING CLEATS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349.587, dated September 21, 1886.
Application filed June 24, 1886. Serial No. 206,144. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, CHARLES J. HAGER, a citizen of the United States of .America, residing at Beatrice, in the county of Gage and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oleat Making Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, snch'as will enable others skilled in the art to which it .appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
Myinvention relates to certainnew and useful improvements in sheet-metal-bending machines, the object of my improvement being to provide a device for bending sheet metal, so as to form the same into cleats which are used fol-attaching sheet-metal roofs to buildings; and to this end my invention consists in a device having a reciprocating plunger which enters a slot in a specially-constructed bedplate, so that the strips of metal will be bent when the plunger is depressed, so as to have an end portion which is bent upon itself, the body portion being turned or bent at an angle.
My invention also consists in the construction and combination of the parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and specifically pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate my invention, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the cleat-making machine, showing the same in position for use. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectionalview, and Fig. 3 are'side views, of the products or cleats as made by the apparatus.
A refers to the body portion of the machine, which may be made of a single casting, said body portion being provided with perforations or other suitable means for attaching the same to a support. The upper part of the body portion A projects outwardly, as shown at B, where it is provided with a perforation, b, for
. the reception of the upper end of a retracting spiral spring, 0.
D refers to the bottom portion or platform of the casting A, said platform being provided with an outwardly-proj ecting shelf, E, which has a transverse slot, 6, the under portion of said slot being, cut away or beveled, as shown.
tion of the casting Aprojeets outward1y,and is provided with a plate, H,which is bolted thereto, so as to retain the plunger II in position and permit the same to have a vertical reciprocating m'otion,the same beingnormally held elevated by a retracting-spring, C. To the lower portion of the plunger H a plate, J, is suitably attached, said plate being of proper dimensions to passthrough the slot 0.
K refers to a platform, which is pivotally attached to the base D by means of side arms, is, said platform being held in an elevated position by a spring, L. If desirable, the spout M may be attached. to the base D, so as to guide the cleats from the former into a suitable receptacle.
WVhen it is desired to form a cleat, as shown at N, Fig. 3, the rectangular strip of metal or sheet-tin is placed by the operator upon the upper portion of the bed-plate, so as to bear against the upwardly-projecting portion F. The plunger is then depressed, and will force the sheet metal through the slot, forming a bend, as shown at a, said metal being carried through the slot until the angular projecting portion j of the plunger strikes it, when said projecting portion will form the bend a. After this bend is formed, by removing the pressure I from the treadle' I, the finished cleat will fall through the slot e upon the spout M, and will fall from thence into a suitable receptacle.
WVhen it is desired to form a cleat, as shown at O in Fig. 3, a beveled block, 1?, is attached to the plate J' immediately beneath the projecting portion j of the plunger, so that when said block comes in contact with a cleat it will be bent at an obtuse angle, as shown at 0.
The device hereinbefore described is extremely simple and effective in operation, and
cleats can be madethereby rapidly.
By attaching different blades J the length of the vertical portion of the cleats can be varied.
I claim -upwardly-projeoting portion F, in combination with a plunger having a plate, J, and an angular portion located adjacent thereto, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.
3. In a cleat-ma'king machine, for the pur pose set forth, the casting A, having a central Mass-1' projecting portion, plate 11, attached thereto so as to form a guide for a reciprocating plunger, a retracting-spring attached to the upper portion of the frame and to the plunger, a base portion having a transverse slot-,upwardly-projeoting stop F, and a platform, in combination with the plunger having a plate, J, secured to its lower end, and an angular projecting portion on one side of the plate for bending'the body portion of the clcat, substantially as shown.
In testimony whereof I affix my signatn re in presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES J. HAGER.
