MACHINE FOR MAKING HORSESHOES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters ZPatent No. 614,527, dated November 22, 1898.
Application filed June 21,1898. Serial No. 684,045. [No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I,THOMAS ALLWOOD, of Auburn, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Making Horseshoes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and
exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to the class of machines for the purpose of making horseshoes. It is fully explained and illustrated in this specification and the accompanying drawlngs.
Figure 1 represents a front elevation of the machine. Fig. 2 is atop view of the machine. Fig. 3 is'a separate side View of the traveler. Fig. 4 is a top View of the forming-plate separate. Fig. 5 is a top View of one of the sliding blocks separate. Fig. 6 is a diagram of the lower plate and the forming-plate. Fig. 7 represents the lower end of the traveler enlarged.
The object of this invention is to provide simple mechanism for forming a horseshoe and at the same time properly shaping the face and making the crease or score for the nails, that could be operated by hand and inexpensive to bring it within the reach of 'blacksmiths generally.
The construction and operation are as follows:
A heavy cast-metal bed-plate D of about thirteen by sixteen inches is secured to a frame of timber or a stone by bolts a a at the corners. In the center of the bed-plate a square hole is made to receive the post B, which is preferably made square above the plate D and is extended down through the hole in the plate and bed Ain a bolt form and is held fast by a nut e, fitted on its lower end. A forming-plate 0 (see Fig. 4) has a square hole made in its center of the same size as the hole in the bed-plate D, and it is placed between the bed-plate and a shoulder on the post 13, so as to beheld down firmly on the plate D by the post B when the nut e is screwed up. A top plate G of the same dimensions as the bed-plate D has a hole made in its center to fit on the upper end of the post B and rest upon a shoulder on the post, and nut m is fitted on the end to screwdown on the plate and hold it. The plate G is planed off on the top and under side and finished smooth, and a curved groove sis made through it of the same form as the outline of the three curved sides of the forming-plate 0, so that part of the plate G that is inside the groove 3 is of exactly the same size and shape and is held directly over the formingplate 0. A traveler J (seen separate in Fig. 3) is made with a square portion at its lower end, which has a slot g made through itfrom front to back, in which a vertical roller j is held with changeable washers 0 0 on a pin h. The periphery or face of the rollerj is made in the same shape it is intended the face of the shoe 1) shall be when finished. That part of the lower end of the traveler outside the slot g is extended down to the plate D and rounded, and a horizontal roller f is fitted to turn on it to form the outer side of the shoe 1).
A portion of the post B and traveler J, midway between the plates D and G, is made round, and a horizontal lever H has two bearings P P made near one end to fit on the round parts of the post and traveler, and it is immaterial Whether the end bearing is on the post, as shown in Fig. 1, or on the traveler and the innerbearing on the post. Above the shoulder of the lever-bearing the post is made fiat at a and curved to fit the groove .9 in the plate G, so as to slide snugly in it, and two blocks V V (see Fig. 5) are fitted to go on the flat part a of the traveler, one above the plate G and one below, and a nut d is fitted on the upper end of the traveler to screw down on the upper block V and draw the two blocks together to fit the plate G closely, but not tight enough to prevent their sliding on the plate, and a check-nut is put on above the nut d to prevent its working loose. Changeable washers y are placed between the lower block V and the shoulder of the traveler, by which the distance between the lower end of the traveler and plate D can be regulated for thick or thin shoes.
In operation the lever H is moved around so as to bring the traveler a little in front of the 'corner of plate 0, and the hot bar of metal 1), cut to the proper length for a shoe, is used as shown in the diagram Fig. 6. Then the traveler is moved around in the slot 3 by the lever H, and roller f will bend the bar edgewise around the three sides of the plate a. At the same time the roller j will roll the upper side of the bar into the shape the shoe should have when made. When the traveler has been carried by the lever H around the plate 0 a little beyond the other corner of the plate and off of the other end of the bar, the shoe can be lifted off of the plate a and the lever H swung around back to the startingpoint to go over the same operation with another bar. Diiferent sizes of the formingplate 0 are made for different sizes of shoes, and the washers on the side of the roller j can be changed to accommodate larger or wider shoes, and rollers f of different sizes are provided for the same object. The washers 1 before mentioned, at the upper shoulder of the traveler J can be changed to allow the traveler to be raised to roll shoes of different thicknesses.
Having thus described my improvements, I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In a machine for making horseshoes the combination of a bed-plate, a removable forming-plate to shape the shoes on, a post passing down through said forming-plate and bedplate and rigidly secured below, a lever havin g a bearing on said post and a traveler having a bearing in said lever, and an upper plate fast to the upper end of said post for guiding the traveler around said forming-plate, sub stantially as described.
2. In a machine for making horseshoes, the combination of a bed-plate, a removable forming-plate to shape the shoes on, a post passing down through said forming-plate and bedplate and rigidly secured below, an upper plate made fast to the upper end of said post, and provided with a slot made through it agreeing with the shape of said forming-plate, a traveler having its upper end fitted to slide in said slot, and having a slot made in its lower end, a horizontal roller held in the end slot to shape the face of the shoe, a vertical roller held on the lower end of the traveler to shape the outer sideof the shoe, and means for moving said traveler in the slot in the up per plate, substantially as described,
3. In a machine for making horseshoes the combination of a forming-plate to shape the shoe on, a traveler to pass around said plate provided with a vertical roller to bend the bar into shape, a horizontal roller held in a slot in the lower end of said traveler, change able washers on the side of said horizontal roller to vary its distance from the center of said forming-plate, a post rigidly held on top of the plate, a lever having hearings on said post and traveler, substantially as described. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 20th day of June, A. D. 1898.
