Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 8, 1906.

Application filed June 19, 1905. Serial No. 266,021.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY C. PoMERoY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hook and Eyelet Setting Machines, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to a combined hook and eyelet setting machine, and particularly to an anvil and holder or pocket used in connection therewith.

The invention has for an object to provide an improved construction of lacing-hook holder adapted to be formed from a blank of sheet material bent into gooseneck form with its free end supported by depending flanges resting upon the base-plate, said plate being also provided with a holder to retain the same against rotary motion.

Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter set forth and the novel features thereof defined by the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation with parts in section, showing a lacinghook holder in position for use Fig. 2, a plan of the blank from which the lacing-hook holder is constructed; Fig. 3, a detail perspective of this holder; Fig. 4, a vertical section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 3; Fig. 5, a longitudinal section of the lacing-hook holder, showing in dotted lines the position of parts when the eyelet of the hook is set; and Fig. 6 a detail perspective of the removable anvil I and the eyelet-holder separated therefrom.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several figures of the drawings.

The invention is intended and adapted for use in connection with any suitable construction of riveting or eyeleting machine, but is here illustrated in connection with a machine of this character such as disclosed in my United States Patent No. 699,707 of May 13, 1902. In this illustration the frame A is provided with the usual head A, adapted to carry the anvil-plunger A which is adjusted in position by means of the adjusting device A mounted in the head, While the base of the machine is provided with an apertured faceblock A*, through which the setting-plunger A passes, this plunger being operated in the usual manner by means of the lever A, pivoted in the base, as shown in Fig. 1. The setting-plunger A is not of sufiiclent length to extend above the face A but contacts with the post B, carried by the hook-holder, or the post C, carried by the eyelet-holder, which practically form a continuation of this plunger while they prevent lateral movement of these holders.

The hook-holder comprises abase-plate B, disposed in a horizontal position upon the post B and suitably secured thereto for instance, by riveting. One end of this plate is bent over the base to form a head or gooseneck portion B which is provided at opposite sides with downwardly-bent flanges B resting upon the base and forming an arch or bridge beneath which the hook portion of the lacing-hook is adapted to pass, while the eyelet portion rests upon the upper face of the portion B above the setting-socket B therein. At the opposite end of the base B a depending plate or arm B extends parallel to the post B and is adapted to engage the wall of the face-block A to prevent rotary movement of the holder during its use. This holder is adapted to cooperate with the anvil D, carried by the plunger A said anvil being adapted for use either with the hook-holder just described or with the eyelet-holder C, carried by the post C and provided with the usual setting-face C This anvil is removably secured to its plunger by means of a threaded connection D (shown in Fig. 1) and can therefore be readily detached when it is desired to change the character thereof or when necessary for repairs.

In the operation of the invention it will be seen that the anvil is set at the desired distance from the operating-plunger by means of the adjusting device to accommodate itself for the length of rivet or eyelet to be set in different thicknesses of material. Either of the holders is then placed in posi tion upon the operating-plunger, and when forced upward the eyelet carried thereby is brought into contact with the anvil D, and thus set. The hook-holder herein disclosed presents a construction adapted to be formed of sheet material, and thus avoiding the use of cast metal liable to fracture under strain or the necessity of recessing a solid block to receive the lacinghook carried by the holder. The depending flanges from the gooseneck portion of the holder form a rigid and firm support, while the post and depending arm parallel thereto effectually retain the holder against any lateral or rotary movement after its insertion in position, while permitting the plate and entering said block, and a dependnecessary reciprocation thereof in setting theing arm extending from one end of said plate eyelets. parallel to one face of said block. 20 Having described my invention and set I 3. In a machine of the class described, a forth its merits, What I claim, and desire to lacing-hook holder comprising a base-plate secure by Letters Patent, is having one end thereof bent into a plane par- 1. A' blank for a lacing-hook holder comallel with the base-plate, depending Walls exprising a body portion With parallel edges, tending from said bent portion at opposite 25 and lateral extensions at one free end thereof sides and restin upon the base-plate, a post adapted to form side Walls bent at an angle disposed centra ly of said baseplate, and a to t e body thereof. I depending arm extending from one end of 2. In a machine of the class described, a 1 said plate parallel to said post. face-block, a lacing-hook holder comprising a i base-plate having one end thereof bent into a plane parallel with the base-plate, depending walls extending from said bent portion at opposite sides and resting upon the baseplate, a post disposed centrally of said base- In testimony whereof I affix my signature o in presence of tWo Witnesses.
