PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Rivetting Machines.
VICTOR COATES & Co. LIMITED and VICTOR HENRY COATES Engineers &
Boiler Makers Lagau Foundry & Princes Dock Works Belfast, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our improvements relate to rivetting machines having a vertical gap arranged
for rivetting shells, flues etc. of boilers or similar work and consists of a simple
attachment to such machines by which they are enabled to rivet in a vertical
direction, which direction is most convenient for closing up the rivets of flanged
joints of flanged flues commonly known as "Adamson " joints or doing similar work.
To do this we attach a bracket to front of bolster-support, or leg of rivetting
machine on which bolster is fixed, having a specially arranged bell crank or right
angled lever for the purpose of changing the motion of the ram of rivetting machine
cylinder from a horizontal to a vertical direction, one arm of this bell crank being
connected by links to above mentioned ram and the other arm fitted with an
ordinary rivet snap which descends upon a similar snap or bolster fitted into the
same bracket that supports bell crank; this snap being on the outside of bolster
pillar enables any diameter of flanged flue or pipe to be rivetted up with the same
case and dispenses with the necessity of having a special machine for doing this
class of work or doing it in an inferior manner by hand.

Improvements in Rivetting Machines.
VICTOR COATES & Co. LTD. and VICTOR HENRY COATES Engineers and
Boiler Makers Lagan Foundry and Princes Dock Works Belfast 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 :-
رو
Our improvements relate to riveting machines having a vertical gap arranged
for riveting shells flues &c. of boilers or similar work and consists of a simple
attachment to such machines by which they are enabled to rivet in a vertical
direction which direction is most convenient for closing up the rivets of flanged
"Adamson joints
joints of flanged flues commonly known as
or doing similar
work.. To do this we attach a bracket to front of bolster-support "A" (or leg of
riveting machine on which bolster is fixed), having a specially arranged bell crank
or right angled lever B for the purpose of changing the motion of the ram of
riveting machine cylinder from a horizontal to a vertical direction. Que arm of
this bell crank being connected by links to above mentioned ram and the other
arm fitted with an ordinary rivet snap C which descends upon a similar snap or
bolster fitted into the same bracket that supports bell crank; this snap being on
the outside of bolster pillar enables any diameter of flanged flue or pipe to be
riveted up with the same case and dispenses with the necessity of having a special
machine for doing this class of work or doing it in an inferior manner by hand.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
The attachment to riveting machines as shewn and described for enabling
riveting to be done in a vertical direction by an ordinary horizontal riveting
machine.
