HENRY H'AVEILL, OE NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.

Letters Patent No. 83,852, dated November 10, 1868; autedated October 24, 1868.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making-part of the same.

To all whom 'it ma/y ooncerm- Be it known that I, HENRY HAVELL, of Newark, Essex county, New Jersey, have invented a new, use' ful, and novel Machine for .Making Frames for Travelling-Bags out of any Ductile Metallic Substance; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had vto the accompanying drawings, and the letters and figures of referf ence marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in constructing a machine so that any duotile metal can be bent to any required angle or curve, necessary to the construction of a travelling-bag frame,7 by means of a shaped former, around` which the metal is wrapped by means of mechanical appliances, such as a movable roller, shaped asy desired, and rotating around the shaped former, Aimparting lto the metal Athe form given by rollers and the shaped former.

I rst construct two castings, on which a rack is cast, in which rack-wheels, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, run intermediate the racks a and chain B.

The chain B transmits the motion and power from driving-pinion 6, situated under chain B.

Rack-wheels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 rest on the racks a of both face-plates. The racks have an equal number of teeth, and the rack-wheels, rolling on them, serve the double purpose of keeping chain Bin its working position on pinion 6, but also to transmit power to the working-rollers These two lace-plates are bolted together, and on the external surface of o'ne of them I place a former, C, shaped to correspond to the frame to be bent,

and. having, in its outer rim, a jaw, D, to catch the the shape desired to be formed, may demand the use of one or more working-rollers.

Eig. l represents working-rollers 7, 8, 9 attached.

They are so constructed and attached to rack-wheels l, 2, 3, that they can be removed at pleasure, and others substituted; or one or two can be removed, leaving one to perform its oiiice of moulding the metal around former C. l l

Any number of rack-wheels can be inserted in the frames on the racks, to which can be attached workingrollers, if it become desirable. .l g

The journals of' rack-wheels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 run in the groove y, which guides the working-rollers 7, 8,9, as they revolve, in their course on racks a, around the" former (l, and to rack-Wheels l, 2, 3, 4, 5, as theyre# volve on rack a.

Figure l represents the machine complete in all its parts. A is a frame, to which face-plates are bolted, holding the several parts together; C is the former, around which the metalis bent; D is the jaw in the former 4 and 5 are rack-wheels; 7, 8, 9 are working-rollers, revolving round the former; S is .the shaft of driving-pinion 6;..B is the chain, which rides on rack-wheels l, 2,- 3,4, 5, shown in lig. 3.

Figure 2 is a top view oi' machine, exhibiting only one more part than shown in fig. l, viz, rack a.

Figure 3 exhibits internal view of machine. A is the face-plate; l), the chain, wrapping rack-wheels l, 2, 3, 4, 5; c, is the rack, on which rack-wheels l, 2, 3, 4, 5 roll; gis the groove, in which the journals oi rack-wheels I, 2, 3, 4, 5 revolve; 6 is the drivingpinion, which supplies power to chain B, the connecting-link or belt of power to rack-wheels l, 2, 3, to which are attached working-rollers 7, 8, 9.

vVhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is Au improved machine for making travelling-bag frames, consisting of its several parts, herein described, combined and arranged substantially as described, and

for the purposes set forth.

HENRY HAVELL.
