We THOMAS STANFORD and HECTOR PAYNE of Watery Lane Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Engineers do hereby declare the nature of the said invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF NAIL PLATES TO BE USED IN MAKING
NAILS FOR SHOEING HORSES CAMELS AND OTHER BEASTS OF DRAUGHT AND
BURDEN to be as follows:-
In the manufacture of nail plates used for the above purposes the plate has
hitherto been rolled with a flange at one of its sides making the section of the
form of an inverted L this flange when the nail blank is cut from the plate is
intended to form the head of the nail but in practice it is found that iron of this
section does not produce a properly formed head the one side being unequal to the
other It has also been attempted to roll the plates with a cross section of a T form
but this also has proved unsuccessful. Our improvements consist in rolling the
iron in a form in which the outline of the cross section of the plate has this
fitted in solid at the top which form answers its purpose well.

County of Warwick Engineers do hereby declare the nature of our said invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF NAIL PLATES TO BE USED IN
MAKING NAILS FOR SHOEING HORSES CAMELS & OTHER BEASTS OF DRAUGHT &
BURDEN, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement, reference being had
to the drawings hereunto annexed and to the letters and figures marked thereon
that is to say:-
In the manufacture of nail plates used for the above purposes the plate has
hitherto been rolled with a flange at one of its sides making the section of the
form of an inverted L this flange when the nail blank is cut from the plate is
intended to form the head of the nail but in practice it is found that iron of this
section does not produce a properly formed head the one side being unequal to the
other. It has also been attempted to roll the plates with a cross section of a T form
but this also has proved unsuccessful Our improvements consist in rolling the
iron in the form shewn in the annexed drawings which represent in Fig 1. a plan
of the form of plate we employ with the cuts for the blank shewn in dotted lines,
Fig 2 is a vertical cross section through the plate and shews also one form of the
blanks we use having two of its sides parallel. Fig 3 is an edge view of Fig 2.
Fig 4. shews another section of plate producing a slightly different form of blank
Fig 5 is a side view and Fig 6 a front view of a completed nail such as may be
produced in a variety of machines having suitable dies from parallel sided blanks
of the forms we have specified or others but slightly varying from such forms.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed We declare that what
we claim is
The improvements in the manufacture of nail plates by rolling the iron into the
sections shewn in the drawings from which plates suitable blanks can be cut to
form perfectly headed nails for the use herein specified.
