Granted: 1904-06-02
Abstract: 9288. Donaghy, J. F., and Owens, J. D. April 22. Nails. - Wire nails are made by machines, nearly all the working- parts of which are supported on pivots. Two wires a, Figs. 1 and 2, are fed through straightening rollers, and guidetubes 51, and are gripped between balls or rollers 45, carried by discs 43,43<a>, and an abutment 46, the whole being carried by a sliding table 39. The table is driven from the lever 17, which carries the heading - tool 16, through an adjustable link 57 and lever 56. The rollers 45 are pressed against the wire a by springs 47, Figs. 1 and 9, bearing against the disc arms 48, 48<a>, and may be released, when desired, by sliding the wedgeshaped block 49 along either of the slots 60 and depressing the arms 48, 48<a>. During the forward motion of the table 39, the wire is gripped, but, on the return, the pull of the wire releases the rollers 45. The end 17<a> of the lever 17 is T-shaped and pivoted on supporting-screws. The lever 17 is operated by an arm 21, one end of which is, preferably, provided with trunnions engaging with a sleeve 22 secured to the lever, the other end working on an eccentric 19 driven by the main shaft 61. The wires, after passing through guides in the block 2 and anvil block 3, are gripped by a stationary adjustable jaw 4 and an oscillating jaw 5, both jaws sliding in the block 2. The lever 7, turning on a pivot 8 and pressed against the cam 9 by a spring 10, moves the jaw 5 forwards, the return being effected by a spring 13 acting on a rod 15, which is hooked into the jaw 5. The motion of the lever is limited by an adjustable stop 10<a>. The cutter blades 34 are mounted on the ends of levers 23, and may be adjusted vertically by screws and horizontally by wedges 28. The levers 23 are provided with overlapping wings 24, through which is passed a pin 25 on which the levers turn. Enlargements 36, prevented from sagging by wedges 37, may be formed on the levers 23. The ends of the levers are pressed together by springs, and are provided near the ends with friction rollers which bear on cams 26 on the shaft 61. The wire may be brought up nearly to the outside of the block 2 by the table 39, when the waste piece is cut off flush with the block 2 and another wire used to press the first forwards. The cutting is performed by two strips of metal 52, Figs. 1, 2, and 10, through which the wires normally pass, but which shear the top or bottom wire according as the lever 55 is pressed to the left or right, the normal position being attained by the pressure of the spring 54.
