[Communicated from abroad by THE PROPRIETORS OF THE COPENHAGEN HORSE SHOE
MANUFACTORY, of Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark.]
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 to be as follows :-
This invention relates to machines which are intended- for punching the nail-holes
in horse-shoes and which are so constructed, that the holes are made in the right
direction thereby causing the nails to be driven into the right place in the hoof.
The punching stamp or the top stamp moves perpendicularly up and down, and the
piece of iron intended for the horse-shoe is placed on a support or table, adjustable
round a horizontal axis and fixed perpendicularly below the top stamp. The bottom
stamp can either be firmly attached, so that the punch hole in its top is as near as
possible above the axis referred to, or it can be fitted on to the adjustable table
itself, in which latter case it is placed in the axis, round which the table turns.
In the first arrangement, the bottom stamp is preferably made with a somewhat
slanting or inclined surface, the said stamp being arranged in a stand. The working
table can here be formed of two arms which can rotate round a bolt passing through
said stand. The different positions, which have to be given to the table during the
work, can be obtained by similar appliances.
In the other arrangement referred to above the bottom side of the working table
here forms a cylinder by which the table is supported in a corresponding groove in
the stand, so that the table, within certain limits, can be turned up and down round
a horizontal axis. The table can be held in this bearing or support by side pieces
which are fixed in the groove of the stand and which clutch two arched ribs, on the
sides of the cylindrical part of the table. The bottom stamp is placed in a groove in
the working table, where it is held by a screw.

page_text: The adjustment of the working table according to the different slanting positions
the nails are to have, is effected by a pedal by which a disc or similar appliance is
turned round the bolt or axis fixed through a lever as well as by the pawl; the disc
again acts upon the working table through a rod which rests upon the disc, and a
connecting rod.
As soon as the foot ceases to act upon the pedal, suitable counterweights bring the
parts referred to back to their original position. If this latter construction of the
working table is so modified that the table is made to grasp the stand instead of
being itself surrounded by the latter, the bottom stamp can be placed in the fixed
stand, but in such a manner that the hole in its top side will be found in the axis
of rotation of the table, instead of above it, as above described.
Dated this 22nd day of January 1889.

page_text: Improvements in Machines for Punching the Nail-holes in
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 :—
This invention relates to machines which are intended for punching the nail holes
in horse shoes and which are so constructed, that the holes are made in the right
direction thereby causing the nails to be driven into the right place in the hoof.
In the accompanying drawing
Figures 1 and 2 show side elevations of the improved machine.
Figures 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 show details of the same.
The punching stamp or the top stamp moves perpendicularly up and down, and the
piece of iron intended for the horse shoe is placed on a support or table, adjustable
round a horizontal axis, and fixed perpendicularly below the top stamp. The bottoin
stamp can either be firmly attached, so that the punch hole in its top is as near as
possible above the axis referred to, or it can be fitted on to the adjustable table
itself, in which latter case it is placed in the axis, round which the table turns.
Figures 1 and 3 show the first arrangement, 9 being the top stamp, d the bottom
stamp, which is preferably made with a somewhat slanting or inclined surface,
and a stand in which the bottom stamp is placed. The working table can here
be formed, of two arms a which can rotate round a bolt passing through the said
stand b. The different positions, which have to be given to the table during the work
can be obtained by similar appliances as shown in Figure 2.
Figures 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 show the other arrangement referred to above. The bottom
side of the working table here forms a cylinder by which the table is supported in a
corresponding groove in the stand b, so that the table, within certain limits can be
turned up and down round a horizontal axis. The table can be held in this bearing or
support as in figures 2, 4 and 5 by side pieces y which are fixed in the groove of the
stand band which clutch two arched ribs on the sides of the cylindrical part of the
table. The bottom stamp d is placed in a groove in the working table, where it is held
by a screw.
The adjustment of the working table according to the different slanting positions,
the nails are to have, is effected by a pedal c by which a disc or similar appliance 6
(Figure 7) is turned round the bolt or axis b* fixed through a lever b' as well as by the
pawl 6, the disc again acts upon the working table a through a rod a¹ which rests
upon the disc, and a connecting rod a².
As soon as the foot ceases to act upon the pedal, suitable counterweights birng the parts
referred to back to their original position. If this latter construction of the working
table is so modified, that the table is made to grasp the stand instead of being itself

page_text: surrounded by the latter, the bottom stamp d can be placed in the fixed stand, as
shown in Figures 1 and 3 but in such a manner that the hole in its top side will be
found in the axis of rotation of the table, instead of above it as above described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, 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 :-
First. A machine for the punching of nail holes in horse shoes with a support or
working table which can turn round a horizontal axis, which is placed perpendicular
below the punch or top stamp in which table the bottom stamp is placed with the hole
in its top side lying in the mentioned axis.
Second. A punching machine for the punching of nail holes in horse shoes with a
working table, which can revolve round a horizontal axis, which is placed perpen-
dicularly below the top stamp, and which table grasps a fixed stand, in which the
bottom stamp is so placed, that the punch hole in its top side is situated in or only a
little above the horizontal axis of the working table all, otherwise, as above described
and shown on the accompanying drawing.
