Letters Patent No. 87,011, dated Februu/ry 16, 1869.

IMPROVEMENT IN SWAGING-RLLS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Parent and making Dart of the same.

To all 'whoop 'it ma/y concern Be it known-that I, JOHN F. THOMAS, of Ilion,

' Herkimer county. in the State of New York, have in-y vented an Improved Machine for Rolling, Plating, and Swaging Metal; and I hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

The nature or essence of my invention consists in combining, with a stationary anvil, having a curved face, a roller, arranged in a frame, pivoted upon the' --the pivots C, upon which the roller-frame D vibrates.

The stand E supports, in suitable bearin gs, the shaft F, which has on each end a crank, G, connected, by rods or bars H, pins e, and pivots 11, to the rollerframe D.

The shaft F may be turned by a belt on the pulley I, 0r by gears, or otherwise, as may be preferred, and the roller J, having journals in the boxes N, will thus be traversed across the face of the anvil B, so as to act upon such material as may be placed upon said face. l

The turning ofthe roller, as it moves over the face, is secured by the gearK and toothed segment L, and its height above the face may beadapted to the thick- .'iess of the material or article to be operated upon by the set-screws M, in the top ofthe frame, the boxes N Ybeing arranged to traverse inthe frame, andthe teeth ofthe gear K and seginentLbeing made long enough to allow the roller to be raised and lowered to a limited extent, Without their being separated. A second face, O, may be arranged outside the roller- `frarne, witha' corresponding roller, P, on the end of the journal of the roller J, to traverse across it, and both the rollers and the'facesy may` be provided with scores c, for the reception of such dies and patterns as the work to be performed may require.

In the case of articles having a shank or tangat one side, as hoes, for example, they may be rolled in one direction on the face O, andin the direction across' or at right angles to that on thev face B, thebox N, at the opposite end of the roller J l. being supported by a wedge, or otherwise, when the roller I? is used to prevent that end of the roller from being depressed by the upward strain upon the roller l?.

The cranks G and the connecting-rods Il have several holes d in each, for the crank-pin d, in order that the roller may be arranged to traverse over such a part of the face B, and to such an extent upon it as the work in hand may require.

The foregoing,`being a description of my improved machine for rolling', plating, and swaging metal- 1. I claim, the combination of the roller J, pinion K, and vibrating frame D, with the segment-rack L,

anvil B, and forming-dies c c, all constructed, arranged, and operated substantially-as described.

2. The arrangement of all the parts of the improved machine, herein described, as and for the purpose speciiied.

Witnesses: JOHN F. THOMAS.
