Angular bending.-The hammer head 3 carries projections 15 to operate the bending-dies 11 through levers 8, 9 and links 10 in both strokes of the hammer so as to bend the ends of the link around the mandrel 5, Fig. 4. At the top of the head is arranged a similar projection engaging a similar lever 17 operating a die 16 for closing the link, after the dies 11 have been in operation in the upward stroke of the hammer and before they came into engagement on the downward stroke. Forging-chains; power hammers; welding.- The hammer is raised by a belt 28 connected to a belt 27 passing over a continuously-driven pulley 25 and also over a pulley 26, which is carried by a lever 30 pressed against a stop 32 by a spring 31.
