ElYELETlNG-NIACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 562,368, dated J' une 23, 1896. Application lefl September 9, 1895. Serial No. 561,877. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHARD FREDERICK BARRY, of Newton, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in E yeleting-Machines, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to eyeleting-machines, such as that shown in a former patent granted to me August 29, 1893, No. 504,295. In the machine shown in that patent a number of interchangeable supports or anvils are shown, each constructed' to support an eyelet or an equivalent device,'such as a lacing-hook, and each adapted to coact with a setting-die, and-a plunger is employed which has provi sions for interchanging of dies.

My improvement involves a single bed-plate with a plurality ofy supports or anvils simultaneously adjustable, so that it is not necessary to disconnect one anvilfrom the machine iu substituting another for it. In this the invention may be said to chieiiy reside, al though there are other features which are claimed. v

The accompanying drawings illustrate an embodiment of the invention.

Figure l shows the machine 'partly in side elevation and partly in section. Fig. 2 shows a section on line 2 2, Fig. l, and a plan of the parts below 4said line. Fig. 3 shows a sectional view of the bed-piece. Figs. 4, 5, and 6 show end views and longitudinal sections of the male dies employed. Figs. 7, 8, and 9 are sectional views of the bed-piece and side views of the cooperating dies.

The letter a designates the Amain casting or supporting frame, which is of the form commonly employed in hand-stamps. The horizontal base portion of said frame is bored ver tically to receive the stem b of a circular bedpiece b which extends over the base. Said bed-piece is bored to receive two annular eyelet supports or anvils d d, adapted to support the annular outer ends'or flanges of eyelets, said dies being of different sizes, and having central orifices to receive the finger of the con operating eyelet-setting die f. (Shown in Figs. 4. and 7.) A circular plate b2 is fastened on the bed-piece, and is provided with notches b4 b5. The bed-piece is provided below said notches with recesses o7 57, as indicated in Figs. l, S, and 9 and by dotted lines in Fig. 2,

said recesses o7 being wider and deeper than the notches h4 bil-and formed to receive the 55 heads of lacing-studs and eyelet-hooks, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9. The Shanks of the said studs and hooks project upwardly from the plate b2 and are held in position to cooperate with setting-dies. thus adapted to hold different articles,`such as eyelets and lacing hooks or studs of different sizes, the notched portions of the plate b2 constituting hook or stud supporting anvils.

The supporting-frame is provided with a seat a, which supports the bed-'piece b', the stem b of said bed-piece passing through a socket a2 extendingV through the seat a and to the bottom 'of the frame, as shown in Fig. l.

Below the frame is a disk bs, afxed to the 7o stem b, said disk having in its upper surface a series of recesses b9 corresponding in number and position to the eyelet and lacing-stud holding devices above described. A springpressed latch or pin i, movable vertically in a 7 5 socket in the base a, is adapted to yieldingly engage either of the recesses bfa'nd thus hold the bed-piece in either of a series of positions. The seat a and the socket in which the stem Z9 is journaled cooperate in rmly supporting 8o the bed-piece b and preventing its displacement either downwardly or laterally.

The letter j designates the plunger, which is arranged to slide vertically in the overhanging portion of the frame and is held up 8 5 by a spring j. A cam-leverk, pivoted to the frame, bears on the top of the plunger, and is used to depress the same. The plunger is made tubular for a portion of its length from its lower end, for the reception of the shank 9o of any one of the dies f f f2, and the shank of each die is formed with an enoirclin g groove ma for engagement of a pin n on a flat spring n', fastened to the plunger. By these means each die is held in the plunger in such a manner as to permit its ready removal.

The die f is for setting eyelets m and coperates with either of the eyelet-supporting anvils d, the tube of the eyelet projecting upwardly from the anvil CZ to receive the prorco jecting finger of the die f, as shown in Fig. 7. The die f' is for setting lacing-hooks m,

The bed-piece is 6o which are provided with eyelets or eyeletshaped shanks. This die acts in conjunction with a hole b in the plate b2 at the inner end of the notch b5, the eyelet portion of the hook being brought in line with said hole by fitting the throat of the hook over the edge of the plate, as shown in Fig. 8, the recess 12T of the plate permitting the hook to be moved over far enough to bring its tubular portion in line with the hole.

The die f2 is for setting lacing-studs m2, and is formed with a pyramidal spur f3, having the sides l 2 3 4, as shown in Fig. G. This die works in conjunction with the part of the plate b2 having the notch b4, said notch permittin g the stud to stand in proper alinement with the plunger. The object of the pyramidal formation above mentioned is to cause the tubular part of the stud to be cut at four equidistant points by the angles of the die, formed by the sides l 2 3 4t, so that it will be divided into four prongs.

It will be seen that the machine can be readily adapted for either setting fast-color and other eyelets, lacing-hooks, or lacingstuds, by manipulation of the bed-piece and insertion of the proper die in the plunger.

The machine organized as described will set various sizes of eyelets, eyelet-hooks, and lacing-studs, and is well adapted for setting so-called fast-color eyelets, and fast-color and agatine lacing studs and hooks.

I claiml. A machine for setting eyelets and other analogous fastening devices7 the same comprising a supporting-frame having a base and an overhanging part; a vertically-movable plunger in said overhanginc; part having means for interchangeably holding diffeient setting-dies; a bed-piece recessed from its circumference toward its center at one or more points and bored through at others, said bed-piece being mounted to rotate on a vertical axis in the base and having such axis of rotation out of alinement with the longitudinal center of said plunger; one or more tubular anvils set in the holes bored in the bed-piece and formed at their upper ends to support eyelets; a plate fastened on the bed piece and notched over the recesses t-herein and formed to accommodate the said tubular anvil or anvils; and means for locking the bed-piece in different positions, all arranged substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. A machine for setting eyelets and other analogous fastening devices, the same comprising a supporting-frame having a seat, a socket extending downwardly therefrom, and a part overhanging said base; a verticallymovable plunger in said overhanging part having means for interchangeably holding different setting-dies; a bed-piece bearing on said seat and having a stem journaled in said socket7 said bed-piece also having a plurality of auvils each adapted to cooperate with a die held by said plunger; a plate affixed to said stem below the base and provided with a number of depressions in its upper side; and a latch or bolt in the base, spring-pressed downwardly against the said plate and adapted to enter the depressions therein to hold the bed-piece at different position, and to keep the latter pressed down upon its seat.

In testimony whereof l have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 3d day of September, A. D. 1895.

RICHARD F. BARRY. lVitnesses:

C. F. BROWN, A. D. IIARnIsoN.
