PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION
[Communicated from abroad by THE PROPRIETORS OF THE COPENHAGEN HORSE SHOE
MANUFACTORY, of Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark].
Improvements in Bending or Shaping Apparatus Chiefly Designed
for Use in the Manufacture of Horse-shoes.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine Lake & Co., Patents Agents,
Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
The press or apparatus which forms the subject of the present invention is more
especially designed to be used in the manufacture by machinery of horse-shoes but
which with suitable modifications may be usod for other purposos where it is desired
to ensure that an object, which has been subjected to pressure by a press or by blows
from a hammer, obtains its distinct form.
The said invention consists, of an anvil, to which is attached a matrix corresponding
with the interior shape of the horse-shoe. The tongs, are formed of two arms,
pivoted to bolts, the interior surface of which arms correspond with the exterior form
of the shoe. One of the said arms is connected with the handle, by a pivot and the
other arm is also connected with the handle by means of a connecting link pivoted to
the handle and to the said arm.
The piston is fixed as a bottom piston the tongs are opened by the handle boing
moved to one side, the iron blank intended for the horse-shoe is placed round the
matrix and a light blow is given with the hammer. The handle is then moved back,
so that the tongs firmly clutch the iron pieco, and the final blow is given aftor which
the tongs are again open and the horse shoe is taken out.
The advantage of this pross is not only its cheapness compared with previously
used bottom stamps, but also a circumstance which is of great importance in the
manufacture by machinery of horso shoes, that its construction allows of a quick
and convenient removal of the iron horse shoe when done with.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bending or Shaping Apparatus Chiefly Designed
for Use in the Manufacture of Horse-shoes.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The press or apparatus which forms the subject of the present invention is more
especially designed to be used in the manufacture by machinery of horse-shoes but
with suitable modifications, may be used for other purposes, where it is desired to
ensure that an object subjected to pressure by a press or by blows from a hammer
shall be brought to its proper form.
The said invention consists, as shown in the accompanying drawing of an anvil A
to which is attached a matrix B, corresponding with the interior shape of the horse-
shoe.
The tongs are formed of two arms C, pivoted to bolts i, the interior surface of
which armis correspond with the exterior form of the shoe. One arm C is connected

page_text: with the handle D by a pivot n and the other arm is connected with the handle
by means of a connecting link E pivoted to the handle at and to the said arm
at x.
The parts A and B are fixed as an anvil or bottom die; the tongs are opened by
the handle being moved to one side in the direction of the arrow; the iron blank
intended for the horse-shoe is placed round the matrix B and a light blow is given
with the hammer. The handle is then moved back, so that the tongs firmly clutch
the iron blank, and the final blow is given, after which the tongs are again opened
and the horse-shoo is taken out.
The advantage of this apparatus is not only its cheapness compared with previously
used bottom stamps, but also, (a circumstance which is of great importance in the
manufacture, by machinery, of horse shoes,) that its construction allows of a quick
and convenient removal of the iron horse-shoe when done with.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to
me by my foreign Correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
The improved bending or shaping apparatus consisting principally of an anvil A,
with matrix B, two rotary arms C, a handle D, and a link connection E, all other-
wise as above described, and as shewn in the accompanying drawing.
