Letters Patent No. 92,720, elated July 20, 1869.

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

Beit known that we, LEWIS GRANGER and LUKE PHILLIPS, of Memphis, in the county of Macomb, and State of Michigan, have invented a newand improved Eavesf'lrough Former; and we do hereby declare that the followingr is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawing", forming part of this specification, in which the figure is a vertical cross-section of our im- .proved machine.

C is the header, which is a small metal shaft placed.

in a groove in the face of the die B, and working-in ears attached to the ends of the die B. The shaft G is grooved, or plowed longitudinally, to receive the edge ofthe plate from which the trough .is to Vbe formed. 1

c is a crank formed upon the end of the shaft C, for convenience in operating said shaft.

D is the\ upper or movable die, which is securely fastened to the ends of the arms or frame E, the other ends of which are pivoted to the frame or bench A, as shown in the ligure.

The face of the die D is formed to fit into the die B, so that the sheet of metal may be pressed into proper form between the said dies.

To the part ofthe die D that forms the angle below the bead, is attached a metallic plate, or strap, F, the ends of which are turned up, and are slotted transversely, to receive the screws by which they are securedy to theA ends of the die D, so that the position of the said plate may be easily adjusted, as required.

G is a frame, the lower ends of the side-bars of which are pivoted to the forward parts of the frame A or die B, in such a position that when tiuned up' into the position shown in the ligure, the cross-bar g of said frame will force the metal plate down upon the top of the die D, to form the rear side of the trough,

at the same time that it forces the said die D down I more closely upon the die B, forming the trough more accurately.

Having thus described our invention, XVe claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- AThe adjustable plate, or bar F, in combination with the dies B and D and header C, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
