IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY OR APPARATUS TO BE USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SPRINGS FOR SHUTTLE PEGS
Year: 1884

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I JOHN HAYDOCK of the firm of Messrs. Kirk & Co of Cob Wall Blackburn in
the County of Lancaster Shuttle and Shuttle Tip Makers do hereby declare the
nature of my Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY OR APPARATUS TO
BE USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SPRINGS FOR SHUTTLE PEGS" to be as
follows:-
I mount in a suitable casting a horizontal spindle, which operates a vertical
slide, on this slide is the box or tool holder, the tools consist of a cutter, and two
flat stepped tools, beneath which on a suitable plate or bed, is fixed the stepped die;
upon the horizontal shaft is a tappet and cam, the tappet operates by means of a
pivotted lever, a second horizontal shaft, directly under the first named shaft,
giving it a backwards and forwards movement, this shaft carries a tool in the form
of a roller or disc, the grooved cam operates by means of a lever and runner, a sido
horizontal shaft imparting an oscillating motion to it, and a lever at its end,
connected to a second lever gives a forwards and backwards movement to a tool?
holder at right angles to the vertical slide, this tool holder, carries a small, flat,
oblong tool. The action is as follows:
Motion is imparted to the machine by power or hand, the heated steel from
which the springs are to be made, is placed upon the die, up to an adjustable
gauge, the tappet brings down the tool box and tools, and presses the metal the
form of the steps of the die, and cuts it off, the flat oblong tool now comes forward
and places itself on the metal on. the lower step of the die, the grooved cam now
operates the lower horizontal shaft bringing forward the roller, which turns over a
portion of the metal, on to the oblong tool, which is now withdrawn carrying with
it the metal spring which only requires tempering, if an alteration is required in
the shape of the spring, the form or shape of the die, and tools only require
altering.

page_text: I JOHN HAYDOCK of the firm of Messieurs Kirk & Co Cobwall Blackburn in the
County of Lancaster, Shuttle and Shuttle Tip Makers, do hereby declare the nature
of my said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY OR APPARATUS TO BE
USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SPRINGS FOR SHUTTLE PEGS" and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:
I mount in a suitable casting, a horizontal spindle, which operates a vertical
slide, on this slide is the box or tool holder, the tools consist of a cutter, and two
flat step tools, beneath which on a suitable plate or bed is fixed the stepped die,
upon the horizontal shaft is a tappet, and cam, the tappet operates (by means of a
pivotted lever) a second borizontal shaft directly under the first named shaft,
giving it a backwards and forwards hovement; this shaft carries a tool in the form
of a roller or disc. The grooved cam operates (by means of a lever, and runner), a
side horizontal shaft, imparting an oscillating motion to it, and a lever at its end,
connected to a second lever gives a forwards and backwards movement to a tool
holder, at right angles to the vertical slide, this tool holder carries a small flat
oblong tool.
The action is as follows:-Motion is imparted to the machine by power or hand,
the heated steel from which the springs are to be made, is placed upon the die, the
tappet brings down the tools and tool box, and presses the metal the form of the
steps of the die and cuts it off, the flat oblong tool now comes forward, and places
itself on the metal on the lower step of the die, the grooved cam now operates the
lower horizontal shaft, bringing forward the roller or disc, which turns over a
portion of the metal, on to the oblong tool, which is now withdrawn carrying with
it the metal spring which only requires tempering, the form of the die, tools, and
tool holders may be varied if a slight alteration is required in the shape of the
spring.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my apparatus.
Fig. 2 is a plan of Fig. 1.
Fig. 8 is a front elevation of same.
Fig. 4 is a detail or view of cam detached.
I mount in suitable easting A A a horizontal spindle B, which operates a vertical
Blide C, by means of a tappet C¹, on this slide is a box or tool holder D, the tools
consist of a cutter E, and two flat step tools F and F, beneath which on a suitable
plate or bed G, is fixed the stepped die H; upon the horizontal shaft is a tappet J,
with a groove J¹, and cam K, with groove K¹, the tappet J, operates (by means of
a pivotted lever L) a second horizontal shaft M, directly under the first named shaft
giving it a backwards and forwards movement, this shaft carries, a tool, in the form
of a roller or dise N, the grooved cam K operates by means of a lever P, and
runner, a side horizontal shaft R, imparting an oscillating motion to it, and a
lever S, at its end connected to a second lever or stud S¹ gives a forwards and
backwards movement to a tool holder T, at right angles to the vertical slide, this
tool holder carries a small flat, oblong tool V, the tool holder is carried in a suitable
bracket T¹.
The action is as follows: Motion is imparted to the machine by hand or power
by means of hand wheel or pulley W, pinnion wheels X and X', the heated steel from

page_text: which the springs are to be made is placed upon the die, up to an adjustable
guage Y, the tappet or eccentric 0, brings down the tools F, F, and E, and tool
box D, and presses the metal the form of the steps of the die H and cuts it off, the
flat oblong tool V, now comes forward and places itself on the metal on the lower
step of the die, the grooved cam K now operates the lower horizontal shaft M,
bringing forward the roller or disc N, which turns over a portion of the metal on
to the oblong tool which is now withdrawn carrying with it, the metal spring,
which only requires tempering, if a different shape or any alteration is required in
the shape of the spring, the form or shape of the tools and die are altered; to
ensure the metal rods being fed straight to the dies, guides may be placed in front
of the dies.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The tappet J, with groove such as J¹ for operating the disc N, as and for the
purposes shewn and described.
2. The cam K with groove such as K¹ for operating the tool V, as and for the
purposes shewn and described.
3. The combined use in a machine for operating upon heated metal, of the
cam K, tappet J, and tappet or eccentric C¹, as shewn and described.
4. The general arrangement of apparatus as shewn illustrated and described.
