Lette/rs Patent No. 83,522, dated October 27, 1868.

IMPROVEMENT IN MACHINE FOR FORM'ING THE HOOK OR. EYE 0N POT-AILS, 8cc.

' fThe Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may conce/m: l

Be it known that I, J Aeon MILLER, of Washington, in the county of Washington, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Machine for Forming the Hook or Eye ou Potf Bails, Sto.; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

rI he nature of my invention consists in the use of a mandrel, around Which are formed the hook or eyes of pot-bails,'&c., said mandrel being provided with a pivoted lever, furnished with a forming-'roller and guide,

said mandrel and lever being constructed, arranged, and operating iu the manner hereinafter To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I Will proceed to describe its construe. tion and operation.`

In the accompanying drawings, which form part of my specification- Figure 1 is a top view or plan of my improvement in machines for forming the hook or eyes on the bails of pots, Src.

Figure 2 isa side elevation of the same.

In the drawings- A is the pedestal of the machine, on which is pivoted the lever B, above which" is placed a disk, D, provided With the mandrel e and guide-pinf. The disk D, with its parts e and f, is held in the desired position by means of the screw-nut g. The lever B is provided With a measuring-guide, J, aud a forming-roller,

c, provided with a groove, i, which is used forholding l @Mfr v As the form, construction, and arrangement of thev several parts of my improvement in machines for bending or forming the hook or eye on pot-hails, 86e.,-

will readily be rseen and understood, by reference to the accompanying drawings, I will, therefore, without further description of its construction, proceed to describe its operation, which is as follows:

The Wire or iron for forming the pot-bail, 85e., is placed between the mandrel c and pin f, with the end of the wire or iron projected the desired distance along the guide J, as indicated by the rod m. The operator then forces the lever B around, in the direction indicated by the arrow marked 5, which will bring the roller c against the rod lm, and, through the medium of it and the lever, the projecting portion of the wire or iron Will be bent around the mandrel e, as indicated in red at x, and when the lever B and its roller are in the position shown by the red lines az, the reverse bend, x, will be given to the bail, through the medium of the roller c and pin f. The pin f may be made adj ustable, and the `size of the roller c changed, by the use of a series of rollers of different sizes, so as to adapt the machine to wire and iron of different size, used in forming potbails, 85e,

Having thus described the nature, construction, and operation of my improvement,

What I claim as of my invention, is

The disk c, provided with the mandrel c and pin f, combined with the lever B, furnished with a formingf roller, c, and guide J, constructed, arranged, and operating as herein described, and for the purpose set forth;

JACOB MILLER. Witnesses:
