vulcanite heilig run into such holes.

In carrying out my present invention orimstable and State ofMassachu'setts,have made provement, I, by means of a punch, forni a new and useful invention, having reference holes in the plate, and press upward above to the Manufacture of Sets of Artificial Teeth; the surface of the plate, and in the form of and I do hereby declare the same to be fully hooks or .aples, the parts of the plate forced udescribed in the following specification, and 4 from it in making the holes;

representedin the accompanying drawings. g In the drawings, A denotes the suction- The nature of my invention consists of an plate, B B the blocks of teeth, and C the aluminium plate for supporting the'teeth by vulcanite composition, the-whole being arineans of a-vulcanizable composition of caouti ranged as represented. The plate has holes chonc, as made lwith hooks or projections: a a, Snc., punched through ,it, with the parts punched up from it, and arranged in manner I b b b ofthe metal partially separa-ted from the and with holes, as hereinafter described, such i plate in the process of forming such holes projection and holes being for the purpose of l raised above the surface of the plate, either holding the plate to the vulcan'ite.
