AND FIXING METALLIC EYELETS IN PAPER, CLOTH, LEATHER, AND OTHER MATE-
RIALS." A communication from abroad by Frank Tebbitt, of Paris, in the Republic
of France.
This Invention relates to improvements in the construction of machines for
setting and fixing metallic eyelets in paper, cloth, leather, and other materials, and
applies more especially to the machinery used in the binding by eyelets of pattern
books or blocks, and other articles of like nature.

an eyeleting machine constructed according to this Invention.
Fig. 2 represents the leading or advancement mechanism (back view).

the pedal (invisible in the Drawing); b¹, the table; c, plunger terminated by the
punch holder g, and depressed by the action of the lever c', operated by the pedal;

the block or book placed beneath the punch d; this punch in descending passes
the eyelet ¹, brought forward by the slideway h into the jaw f, pierces the

the rivet clasp. The same series of motions is repeated from eyelet to eyelet
throughout the range.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed by
the said George Edward Vaughan in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 27th
September 1879.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF MACHINES FOR SETTING
AND FIXING METALLIC EYELETS IN PAPER, CLOTH, LEATHER, AND OTHER MATE-
RIALS." A communication from abroad by Frank Tebbitt, of Paris, in the Republic
of France.
This Invention relates to improvements in the construction of machines for setting
and fixing metallic eyelets in paper, cloth, leather, and other materials, and applies
more especially to the machinery used in the binding by eyelets of pattern books
or blocks, and other articles of like nature.
Figure 1 of the accompanying Drawings shews in side elevation (partly in section)
an eyeletting machine constructed according to this Invention.
Figure 2 represents the leading or advancement mechanism (back view).
a, Fig. 1, is the frame of an ordinary eyeletting machine; b, the connecting rod of
the pedal (invisible in the Drawings); b¹, the table; c, plunger terminated by the
punch holder g, and depressed by the action of the lever c', operated by the pedal;
e, counterpart of the punch d; fis a gripper, of which the jaw opens under the
descending pressure of the punch holder g; h is a straight or circular slide way
carrying the eyelets i, i, i, which on the opening of the jaw f fall one by one by their
own weight into the position shewn by i¹.
n is an adjustable guide for regulating the margin to be reserved between the
binding eyelets and the back edge of the block, book, or other article on the table;
1, Figures 1, 2, is a bar pivoted at m with the connecting rod b of the pedal; o is a
wheel provided with forty-eight teeth acted on by the pawl o¹; p is a second wheel
provided with sloping points or asperities, and working in conjunction with the
wheel o; q is a lengthening bar articulated to the bar l, and pierced with eighteen
or twenty holes.

page_text: On depressing by the pedal the connecting rod b the bar 1 descends, carrying with
it the bar q, which operates the wheels o, p, thus imparting a forward motion to
the block or book placed beneath the punch d; this punch in descending passes into
the eyelet i¹, brought forward by the slideway h into the jaw f, pierces the block,
and penetrates into the counterpart e, carrying with it the eyelet, the lower end of
which, when completely through, spreads out under the pressure to form the rivet
clasp. The same series of motions is repeated from eyelet to eyelet throughout the
range.
Having now described the nature of the said improvements and the manner in
which the same are or may be carried into effect, I would have it understood that
I do not confine myself to the details of form, dimensions, and general construction
herein laid down, as these may be modified without deviating from the principle or
main features of the Invention, but what I claim and desire to protect by Letters
Patent is,
The combination in eyeletting machines of the plunger c, gripper f, slide way h,
and advancing mechanism l, o, o', p, q, constructed and arranged substantially as
and for the purposes above set forth and shewn in the Figures of the accompanying
Drawings.
In witness whereof, I, the said George Edward Vaughan, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Twenty sixth day of September, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy nine.
GEO. E VAUGHAN. (L.S.)
