MACHINE FOR FORMING THE HEEL CALKS OF HORSESHOES'.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360,932, dated April 12, 1887.
Application filed November 23, 1886. Serial No. 219,546. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be. it known that I, GEORGE UHLIN, of Rosedale,Wyandotte county, Kansas, have invented a new and Improved Horseshoe-Heeling Machine, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming a part hereof.
I inafter set forth,and pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings,which illustrate the manner of carrying out my invention, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the machine with the parts in position after a bending stroke has been made. Fig. 2 is a like view with the parts in position to make a stroke, or just after a heel has been formed and the shoe removed from .the machine. Fig. 3 is a view of the machine at right angles to that shown in the first-mentioned figures, and looking toward the right-hand side thereof; and Fig. 4is a detail view of the bending mechanism of the machine.
A represents the main framing-plate of the machine,which is preferably to be bolted to the anvil-block, so as to be convenient to the farriers use; and on the side that is opposite the block a bending-head, B, is mounted in suitable guides or stirrups,(b and a, respectively,) so that it may be moved up and down a limited distance by the action of an operating-handle.
E is the operating-handle, the lower end of which carries the lower end of a connectingrod, D, and which is pivoted to the framingplate at 6. At a point that is near to the pivot e the handle or lever E is turned upward at or near a right angle to its remaining portion, so that it may be conveniently reached by the operator of the machine. Thelower end of the bending-head B is pivotally connected to the upper end of the connecting-rod D by means of a bolt or similar device,and the said head is thereby securely connected to the operating-handle, as shown, Theupper portion of the bending-head is bent to one side at a right angle to its vertical portion, so that it may be caused to press down upon a piece of iron that may be located beneath it, as will be more fully explained further on. Upon the upper end of theframing-plate A,which is bent outwardly at a right angle to its vertically-located body, I arrange a bending-table, H. This table is made adjustable for different sizes of iron farther from or nearer to the working side of'the bending-head; and to guide it while being adjusted, and after adjustment to hold it in position, I provide one edge of the horizontal portion 20 of the framing-plate with an upwardly-projecting flange, 3, against which one edge of said table bears. Of course, however, I may make the horizontal portion 20 of the framing-plate separate from the vertical portion,and secure it thereto in some way without departing from the invention. Still Iprefer the construction shown, with the upper por tion bent at a right angle to the main body,as it is very strong. Said table can be adjusted in any desired wayas, for instance, bya slot in the horizontal portion of the framing and a bolt carried by the table and located in the slot.
0 is a stationary brace or guide rigidly se cured to the side of the framingplate A, and located outside of and projecting some dis tance above the horizontal portion of the bend ing-head B. Its purpose is to guide the said head in a vertical plane when said head comes in contact with the iron to be bent; for,were it not for this guide, the bending-head would be displaced laterally during the bending operation, and the result would be a badly-formed heel.
To illustrate the adjustment of the table H for different sizes of iron, I will say that if iron having athickness of five-eighths of an inch is to be used, then the table will be set just fiveeighths of an inch from the inner side of the bending-head B.
For the purpose of allowing different lengths of heel to be made on this machine, I locate an adjustable gage, a, upon the bending-head B, as shown. One end of the gage a is provided with a slot, I, (one,) and a set-screw is passed through the slot into the free end' of thebending-head, and which may be loosened and tightened up, as desired, to set the gage. The main portion of the gage a isbent upward so as to be located below the horizontal portion of the head, and so that it mayintercept the end of the iron when the same is to be operated on. Thus it will be seen that when a very long heel is to be made the gage a is placed as far away as possible from the bending-edge of the table II; and in a similar manner,when a very short one is to be formed,the said gage is to be located quite near the said edge of the table. If desired, the gage a may be removed altogether, and the end of the iron h can be pushed in until its end comes in contact with the inner surface of the guide O,and thus permit extra long heels to be turned. For the purpose of holding the iron down upon the table whilea heel is being formed, I locate a rectangular brace, L, upon the edge of the framingplate that is nearest the operating-handle,so that its upper portion will project over the table some distance. The part it takes in the operation of the machine is as follows: Vhen the handleE- is forcibly raised to the position shown in Fig.
1 from that shown in Fig. 2, the horizontal portion of the bending-head B will turn the end of the iron or shoe h downward at a right angle to the main portion, which lies on the table H, and thereby form a complete heel at a single stroke; but,were it not for the presence of the brace L, under which the iron has previously been inserted, the powerful pressure of the head would cause the iron to raise off the table, and an imperfect heel would be the result.
To permit different sizes of iron to be inserted beneath the brace L, Imay make it adjustable on the framing-plate, or I may provide its under side, which comes into contact with the iron, with a series of one or more steps or recesses 4, as shown.
Having thus described my invention,whatI claim is- 1. Ahorseshoe-heeling machine composed of a main framing plate, a bending table mounted 011 the upper portion of said plate, a vertically-reciprocatingbending-head,a guide for said head to prevent its displacement during the bending operation, an operating-handle, and suitable connections between the operating-handle and the bending-head,substantially as described.
2. The combination, in a horseshoe-heehng machine, of the main framing-plate, a vertically-reciprocating bending-head, and a bending-table mounted on the upper portion of the framing-plate and capable of adjustment in relation to said bending-head.
3. The combination, in a horseshoe-beefing machine, of a vertically-reeiprocating bending-head and an adjustable gage mounted upon said head.
4. Thecombination, with the framing-plate A, of the bending-head B, guide 0, table H, rectangular brace L, operating-handle E, and connections between the operating-handle and the bending-head.
5. The combination, with framing-plate A, of bending-head B, guide 0, table H, rectangular brace L, gage (1, located on said bending'head, operating-handle E, fulcrumed at e to said framing-plate, and rod D, pivoted at d to said handle and at its upper end to the bending-head.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE UlILlN.
