always under the through bored holes under stamp D. Whenn this stamp then cut
out the stamped piece of Brass this will fall in one of the matrices of the tooth

once more by stamp G.

the foundation piece is fixed a bent piece of Iron W only with one screw on which it

screw the two pieces can move on the screw Z. Also at the end of W is fixed a piece

I JOANNES CORNELUS WILHELMUS PAUWELS, of the Hague Netherlands, Civil
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
samme is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
My invention relates to improvements in apparatus for making metal buttons and
has for its object to simply, cheaply, and rapidly manufacture buttons by means of a
portable arrangement capable of being actuated by an ordinary screw press.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my improved press
of which Fig. 2 is a front elevation partly in section.
This press consists of two parts, an upper plate E and a lower part com-
posed of a top plate F and a bottom or bed plate G secured together by four
uprights U UU U. The three plates E F G are provided with four cylindrical
perforations a, b, c, d, a¹ b¹ c¹ d¹ and a² 62 c² d² through which latter perforations
four dies A B C D operate, these dies being fined in the tapped holes a b c d
of the plate E by means of their screw threaded heads has clearly shown in
Fig. 2. The perforations c² and d² do not continue through the bed plate G while

page_text: the perforations a² 62 do. The upper extremity of a doubled cranked iron lever that is
to say of the bar L is fixed to the plate E while its lower extremity is articulated to
the upper end of the cranked bar M and to the plate F by means of a screw so as to
pivot freely thereon while the lower extremity of the bar M extends below the press
and carries a spur t¹ which engages within the teeth of the wheel W mounted upon an
iron shaft S by means of which it is suspended. The wheel W which is only allowed
by the arm to move a distance of one tooth whenever the plate E is raised, is
provided with a series of matrices uu - - - &c. My improved press operates in the
following manner. The metal plate used is first stamped by the stamp D and assumes
the shape D1 when.it is passed to the secured die C which shapes it in the manner
shewn at C. It is then taken up by the third stamp B which cuts it and from
which it falls into one of the matrices of the wheel as the latter rotates a tooth at a
time and assumes the shape B', it is finally stamped by the die A which passes it
through the wheel W whence it drops to the floor. My press may be operated by
any ordinary or suitable form of screw press.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
