page_text: LETTERS PATENT to George Haseltine, of the "International Patent
Office," Southampton Buildings, London, Doctor of Laws, for the
Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN NAIL MACHINES."-A communication
from abroad by William Wickersham, of Boston, Massachusetts,
United States of America.
Sealed the 31st March 1876, and dated the 4th October 1875.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said George Haseltine at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on
the 4th October 1875.
I, GEORE-HASELTINE, of the International Patent Office, Southampton
Buildings, London, Doctor of Laws, do hereby declare the nature of the
said.Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN NAIL MACHINES," a communication,
to be'as follows :—
.The first feature of my Invention consists in a double cutter stock
made of one single casting, having a space for the nails to fall through,
and one or more ribs to connect the two sides together, and so con-

page_text: structed and arranged as to receive two series of cutters working
alternately with two other series of cutters in single cutter stocks.
The second feature of my Invention consists in two single cutter stocks
so constructed and arranged that each will alternately cut a series of nails
in connection with one series of cutters of the double cutter stock, and {
each one will oscillate alternately up out of the way with an upward
motion, while the other is (in connection with the double cutter stock)
cutting a series of nails.
The third feature of my Invention consists in a single cutter stook
with a series of cutters thereon, in combination with a double cutter 1
stock with two series of cutters thereon, with mechanism for holding the
single cutter stock in a state of rest, and in a position to co-operate with
one side of the double cutter stock while the nails are being cut, and to
move it up out of the way at other times.
The fourth feature of the said Invention relates to the feeding 1
apparatus, and consists in a screw constructed with threads inclined part
of the way round, the other parts of said threads being straight round, so
that when said screw threads are in the notches in the edges of the nail
sheet and the screw revolves it will move the said sheet towards the
cutters during the time that the inclined parts of said threads are in said ?
notches, while during the other part of its revolution it will hold said
sheet at rest, the straight parts being in the notches.
The fifth feature of the said Invention relates also to the feed, and
consists in forming the outer edges of the cutters at the extremities of
the series in the single cutter stock to co-operate with the feed screws in :
feeding the nail sheet entirely to the cutting edges of the cutters by
taking off to a small depth the outer edges of said cutters, except a small
portion at their lower sides, leaving or forming a small spur at their
lower outside corners.
The sixth feature of the said Invention relates also to the feeding &
apparatus, and consists in constructing the feed screws with teeth, by
means of which they can cut notches in the edges of the nail sheet, and
at the same time feed the sheet towards the cutters by means of the said
screws which cut the said notches.
The seventh feature of the said Invention consists in a supply rack
having grooves on its sides to hold the nail sheets and spaces through
the bottom for the nail sheets to pass, arranged on a support over the

page_text: machine with a space or slot in the support through which the nail
sheets can pass from the rack to the cutters. The said rack can be
moved along successively delivering the nail sheets therein contained
to the cutters through the slot in the support as each is successively out
into nails.
The eighth feature of the said Invention relates also to the supply
rack, and consists in a hook, a vibrating arm, and a spring so constructed
and arranged that the hook will be moved with a positive motion in the
direction in which the rack is to move, and by a yielding motion in the
opposite direction, so that when a sheet is passing down it will limit the
motion of said hook in the direction of the sheet, and when the sheet has
passed down out of the way said hook will pass back to another notch, and
at the next forward movement will move the rack far enough for the
delivery of another sheet to the cutters, and so on successively, until all
the sheets in the rack are delivered and cut into nails. The said spring
presses said hook both in the direction of the nail sheet and upwards, so
as to insure the hooks pressing up against another notch, when it can
pass far enough for the purpose, and also to force the hook back to
another notch when the nail sheet is out of the way.
"
The ninth feature of the said Invention relates to the adjustment of
the cutters, and consists in a thimble screw in combination with a wedge,
screw cutters, and the cutter stock, all so arranged that the thimble screw
may be screwed into the cutter stock against the head of the wedge
screw, or against a shoulder on said head holding said wedge screw in
position while the body of said wedge screw extends into the wedge, in
such manner that by turning said wedge screw in one way the wedge
will be advanced, thereby elevating the cutter which rests upon said
wedge; and by turning the said screw in the reverse direction said cutter
will be depressed in like manner.
30 SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said George Haseltine in the Great Seal Patent Office
on the 3rd April 1876.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, GEORGE
HASELTINE, of the "International Patent Office," Southampton Build-
35 ings, London, Doctor of Laws, send greeting.

IN NAIL MACHINES,'
"
a communication to me from abroad by William
Wickersham, of Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America, upon
the condition (amongst others) that I, the said George Haseltine, my
executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under my, or
their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe and
ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the
same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great
Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately
after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said George Haseltine, do hereby declare
the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement, reference being had to the accom-
panying Drawing forming a part of this Specification :-
The first feature of the said Invention relates to a double cutter stock
made of one single casting, having a space for the nails to fall through,
and one or more ribs to connect the two sides together, and so con-
structed and arranged as to receive two series of cutters working {
alternately with two other series of cutters in single cutter stocks.
The second feature of the said Invention relates to two single cutter
stocks, so constructed and arranged that cach will alternately cut a series
of nails in connection with ono series of cutters of the double cutter
stock, and each one will oscillate alternately up out of the way with an a
upward motion while the other is (in connection with the double cutter
stock) cutting a scries of nails.

page_text: The third feature of the said Invention relates to a single cutter stook
with a series of cutters thereon in combination with a double cutter
stock with two series of cutters thereon, with mechanism for holding the
single cutter stock in a state of rest and in a position to co-operate with
one side of the double cutter stock while the nails are being cut, and for
moving it up out of the way at other times:
The fourth feature of the said Invention relates to the feeding appa-
ratus, comprising a screw constructed with threads inclined part of the
way round, and with the other parts of said threads straight round, so
that when said screw threads are in the notches in the edges of the nail
sheet and the screw revolves, it will move the said sheet towards the
cutters during the time that the inclined parts of said threads are in said
notches, while during the other part of its revolution it will hold said
sheet permanently at rest, the straight parts being in the notches.
The fifth feature of the said Invention relates also to the feed, that is
to say, forming the outer edges of the cutters at the extremities of the
series in the single cutter stock to co-operate with the feed screws in feed-
ing the nail sheet entirely to the cutting edges of the cutters by taking off
to a small depth the outer edges of said cutters, except a small portion at
their lower sides, leaving or forming a small spur at their lower outside
corners.
The sixth feature of the said Invention relates also to the feeding
apparatus, that is to say, to constructing the feed screws with teeth, by
means of which they can cut notches in the edges of the nail sheet, and
at the same time feed the sheet towards the cutters by means of the said
screws, which cut the said notches.
The seventh feature of the said Invention relates to a supply rack,
having grooves on its sides to hold the nail sheets and spaces through
the bottom for the nail sheets to pass, arranged on a support over the
machine with a space or slot in the support through which the nail
sheets can pass from the rack to the cutters. The said rack can be
moved along successively delivering the nail sheets therein contained to
the cutters through the slot in the support as each is successively cut
into nails.
The eighth feature of the said Invention relates also to the supply
rack, and comprises a hook, a vibrating arm, and a spring so constructed

page_text: and arranged that the hook will be moved with a positive motion in the
direction in which the rack is to move, and with a yielding motion in the
opposite direction, so that when a sheet is passing down it will limit the
motion of said hook in the direction of the sheet, and when the sheet
has passed down out of the way said hook will pass back to another
notch, and at the next forward movement will move the rack far enough
for the delivery of another sheet to the cutters, and so on successively
until all the sheets in the rack are delivered and cut into nails. The
said spring presses said hook both in the direction of the nail sheet and
upwards, so as to insure the hooks pressing up against another notch
when it can pass far enough for the purpose, and also to force the hook
back to another notch when the nail sheet is out of the way.
The ninth feature of the said Invention relates to the adjustment of
the cutters, and comprises a thimble screw in combination with a wedge
screw, cutters, and the cutter stock, all so arranged that the thimble
screw may be screwed into the cutter stock against the head of the
wedge screw or against a shoulder on said head, holding said wedge
screw in position, while the body of said wedge scrow extends into the
wedge in such manner that by turning said wedge screw in one way the
wedge will be advanced, thereby elevating the cutter which rests upon
said wedge, and by turning the said screw in the reverse direction said.
cutter will be depressed in like manner.

page_text: Figure 8 is a vertical section. of the machine parallel to the axis of the
main shaft with the supply rack shown in Figure 1..
Figure 9 is a plan or top view of the double cutter stock; Figure 10
is-a-bottom-view of the¯same.
Figures 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 represent various details of my
improved machine herein-after described.
Like letters indicate corresponding parts throughout the Drawing.
G'i
A is the frame to which the various parts of the machine are fitted;
B, B', shew the double cutter stock into which two series of cutters are
fitted; O is the connection rod connecting the crank or eccentric on the
main shaft with the double cutter stock; D is the main shaft; E, E',
are two single cutter stocks; F, F¹, are the cutters in the double cutter
stock; G, G', are the cutters in the two single cutter stocks; H, H¹, are
screws operating the cutters F, F'; I, I', are screws operating the cutters G,
J, J¹, J³, J³, are bolts holding the cutters in their places in the cutter
stocks; K, K', are wedges for adjusting the cutters in the double cutter
stock; L, L', are adjusting screws to move the wedges in or out; M, M³,
are thimble screws to hold the screws L, L, in their places. The thimble
screws M, M', are short hollow cylindrical screws fitted into the cutter
stock B, B¹, against the outer ends of the heads of the wedge screws L, L',
or against shoulders on said heads, and the inner shoulders of said heads
are secured by corresponding shoulders in the cutter stock, the holes in
said stock below the heads being only large enough for the shanks, the
screw heads being thus secured so that they can turn on their axis, but
cannot move in the direction of their length, and the body of the screws
extending into the screw holes in the wedges K, K³, which are fitted into.
the cutter stock, while the cutters F, F", rest upon their upper sides, and
all so constructed and arranged that the cutters can be adjusted as to
proper height by turning the screws L, I, with the screwdriver; for
instance, if the cutters are to be brought to a lower position the screw
is to be turned in a direction to carry it farther into the wedge, and if
the cutter is to be elevated the screw is to be turned in a contrary
direction, so that by turning the screws L it is easy for the operator to
'adjust the cutter F to the same elevation as the one in the single cutter
stock with which it co-operates in cutting nails; N is an eccentric on
the main shaft for operating the connecting rod; O is a cam to give
a proper movement, and hold in a state of rest when needful the single
cutter stocks through the arms P, P¹, which are fastened upon the

page_text: journals of said cutter stocks; Q is a gear wheel on the main shaft
to work the screw shaft R and the feed screw S through the pinion T;
S', S', show the straight and inclined portions of the thread of the feed
screw (see Figure 3); U is the nail sheet; U₁, Figures 4 and 5, are
portions of nail sheets showing their connection with the feed screw
while being fed towards the cutters; W, W', are two stands to support
the feed shaft; X is a rib to connect the two parts of the double cutter
stock; a, a, Figure 1, are buttons or heads on the inner ends of the screws
H, H, I, I', to work in the cross grooves a¹in the outer end of the cutter
shown in Figure 2.
The said machine operates as follows:-There is in the frame A, not
far from the bottom, a main shaft D, on which is placed an eccentric N,
which gives the oscillating movement to the double cutter stook B
through the connection rod O; this double cutter stock is cast in one
piece of iron, and has its middle portion nearly to the journals separated
into two parts by a slot j, which extends from its middle towards the
ends as far as the two series of cutters in it, and underneath I form one or
more ribs from one side to the other to give strength and a stiffness to the
two sides; and in this double cutter stock on each side of said slot is
fitted a series of cutters or cutting dies with wedges K, K³, under them
to adjust them by, and when these cutters are properly adjusted and the
main shaft is caused to revolve each series of cutters in the double
cutters stock moves alternately towards to and a little past the centre
of the machine, and then recedes, giving place to the other series in
turn to approach and pass a little by the centre of the machine in the a
opposite direction; and when each series of these cutters is approaching
the centre of the machine it passes close by the edges of a series of
cutters in one of the single cutter stocks E, E', on the opposite side of
the machine (from the series which is approaching the centre), and
which are moved down into their lower position to meet those of the 8
double cutter stock which is approaching the centre), that is, when the
series B¹ in the double cutter stock approaches the centre the series E in
the single cutter stock is moved down to its lower position, and is held
there permanently until the series B' has passed by its edges, and
thereby cut a series of nails, then the series E is raised to its upper 3
position and the series B¹ recedes, and the series B in turn approaches
the centre, and the series E¹ in the single cutter stock moves to its
lower position to meet it when another series of nails is cut, completeing

page_text: the revolution of the main shaft; the series E rising to its upper
position as the series E, abovo described, cutting two series of nails for
each revolution of the machine. The alternate movements of the two
series of cutters E, E, to their lower position-to-cut nails, and to their -
upper position again out of the way of the others, are caused by a cam O
on the main shaft D through the arms P, P', fastened on the journals
of the cutter stocks E, F, by pins or studs q, q, in the arms P, P¹,
passing into the cam grooves q², q¹. .
A great advantage arises from placing the double cutter stock under
the single cutter stocks, both can work together, allowing the nails to fall
between the two series of cutters as well when one series cuts as the
other, while in any other position it would be difficult, if not impossible,
to dispose of the nails from both series. Also having the cutters
placed in this position enables me to establish a supply rack on the
top of the machine, which I could not otherwise do, as the weight of
the sheets facilitates the automatic supply of the nail sheets. This is
of great importance, as with this rack one attendant can tend ten
machines, when without it he can tend only two machines.
Figure 9 is a top plan view of my double cutter stock, showing two
series of cutters F, F¹, thereon, and the slot'j in the middle for the nails
to fall through; also showing four cavities E³, one on each side at each
end for the projection E³ on the single cutter stock to pass into as the
double cutter stock oscillates; these cavities are also shown in dotted
circular lines in Figure 1 at E³. The use of these cavities E³ is to
prevent the single cutter stocks from interfering with the movement of
the double cutter stock as each side alternately passes up to its highest
position, as the projecting portions of the single cutter stocks can
occupy these spaces or cavities E³ without contact with the stock. In
this Figure the rib X appears through the slot from beneath and the
journals at the ends.
Figure 10 is a bottom view of the said cutter stock, showing the
journals at the ends, and showing two flanges B³, B³, which though
concave on the under side project down much lower than the middle
part of the cutter stock. The curved edges of these flanges are shown
at B³, Figures 1 and 11, and the concave end curved from the middle
portion of the double cutter stock at B³ and B' is also shown in Figures
1 and 11. The rib is also shown in Figure 9, and a cross sectional

page_text: view of the same is shown in Figure 2. The cavity c³ for the con-
nection rod is shown at Figure 11.
At each edge of the nail sheet I have a screw S on a vertical shaft,
as shown in Figures 1 and 8, arranged to act on the sheet at or near
the part being cut by the cutters and for some distance above it. These
screw threads project into small notches in the edges of the sheet shown
at Figures 4 and 5 in such manner that when the screws are caused to
revolve in the right direction they will feed or move the nail sheet
downwards, and all that remains to complete this feed is to have the
downward movement continue only when the sheet is disengaged from
the cutters, and have the sheet remain at rest while the cutters are
doing their work. This I accomplish by having the screw threads on
the feed screws inclined only part of the way round the thread, the other
part being straight, as seen at 8', S, Figures 3 and 4, (in a plan view of
the surface at Figure 3,) so that when the two screws at the two edges
of the sheet are properly adjusted, and their threads project into the
notches in the edges of the said sheet, and these screws are caused to
revolve, they will move the sheet downwards only while the inclined
parts of their threads are in the said notches in the sheet, and at the
same time hold said sheets at rest while the straight part of said threads
are in said notches, thereby feeding the sheet when it is disengaged
from the cutters and holding it at rest while the nails are being cut.
The shafts on which these screws are placed have gear wheels or
pinions T, T, on their lower ends which receive their motion from gear
wheels Q, Q, on the main shaft D.
In the upper part of the feed screw 8 I have small notches or
teeth v, v, v, Figure 7, in the screw thread, so that as the sheet is fed
down through the groove d as it passes from the rack and comes down
below the upper end of the feed screw the screw thread strikes
into the sheet close to the lower part of the edge and makes one notch,
which passes to the thread and follows it down, and when the screw has
revolved once another notch is cut a distance from the first equal to the
distance of one thread from the other, or, what is the same thing, equal
to the width of one nail (for these feed screws have threads just equal
to the width of the nail the machine is to cut), and this second notch as
the first and all the others follow the screw thread downward, and as I
have the sheet pass into a narrow space as it moves downward it
becomes straighter and the edges recede a little from each other, and

page_text: hence the teeth are formed on the screw thread some distance from the
top to make the notches deeper, if required, so that they will not bind
on the screw below as the sheet passes down.
In Figure 1,-I-have-shown-an-inside-elevation-with-the-operative
mechanism of my supply rack, and in Figure 8 is shown a vertical
section of the same, in which is the rack proper of a trough-like
form having a bottom somewhat wider than the nail sheet which rests
and slides on the bed piece or support w, which support is fastened on
the top of the frame A. of the machine; the sides of this rack 6' extend
up from the bottom sufficiently to support the nail sheets, as shown in
the Drawing, and are grooved on their inner surfaces suitably for the
nail sheets to slide down in, and corresponding to these grooves are
spaces formed in the bottom and so constructed that the nail sheets can
slide down through the grooves and through the bottom with their lower
edges resting on the support to, which prevents their leaving the rack
except as they are brought successively to the slot at o² in the bed
piece w in 'the centre of the machine, where one of the said sheets is
represented as passing down into the position for the feed screws to feed
it down to the cutters, as before described. Now each one of these nail
) sheets in the rack is brought to its place of exit from the rack to the
machine to be cut into nails in the following manner :—The spaces
through the bottom of this rack (through which the nail sheets pass)
are widened a little at their lower extremity, as shown at o³, to make
room for the hook z to pass in, and thereby become attached to the
5 same and draw it along far enough to admit of another sheet passing
through the slot at o' into the machine. This hook has a shank z³
which passes through the upper end of the arm y' having a head on tho
opposite end from the hook, so that when the arm y' moves in a
direction from said hook it will give to said hook a positive motion, as
O the head cannot pass through the hole in said arm, being only largo
enough for the shank ³; yet the motion of this hook x is not so
positive when the arm y¹ moves in the direction towards the hook, as
said hook can slip through the arm y' in that direction, yet to give
motion to the hook in this direction when required to move the rack
5 for the delivery of another sheet and to throw the hook into one of the
notches o', o'. There is a spring a³ around a slide 2, and between the
end of the arm y³ and the under side of the hook and so arranged in
an inclined position as at the same time to give an upward and back-

page_text: ward yielding force to the said hook. Now it is clear that if a vibratory
motion be given to the arm y₁ equal to the distance between the
notches o', o', the hook will be moved thereby back to another
notch o in the bottom of the rack 1 will be thrown into it and then
will be moved with a positive motion forward, carrying said rack along
with it, and at each successivo vibration of the arm y¹ said rack will be
moved forward a like distance, and the effect of the continued
vibratory movement of the arm y' while the nail machine is at work
and the rack bar being filled with nail sheets will be as follows:-
The hook will at each vibration of the arm y' be carried forward to
the same point by a positive motion, and it will be carried back until it
abuts against the sheet U as it is passing down through the slot in the
bed piece at o, when the spring ¹ will yield, allowing the motion of
the said hook to terminate at the sheet, the whole movement of the arm
producing no effect except a limited movement of the hook, but when
the sheet at o³ has passed down into the machine, so as not to restrain
and limit the movement of the hook, then the said hook passes back into
the space before occupied by the sheet at o³, and is thrown into it by
the spring, and at the next forward movement of the arm y¹ the rack
is carried forward far enough for another sheet to pass through the slot
at o³, which again terminates the backward movement of the hook x, as
described, until this second sheet is fed down out of the way, when
another like forward movement of the rack will take place, and another
sheet will pass out of it, and this operation will be repeated until all of
the sheets of the rack will have successively passed down into the
machine, and have been cut into nails.
I have a horizontal arm y³ on the shaft or study, which is connectod
to the outer end of the cutter stock B by a link Z, all constructed and
arranged so that by every upward and downward movement of the cutter
stock B, as above described, a lateral or backward and forward move- &
mont is given to the arm y'. There is a space cut out of the bed piece to
for the hook X and the arm y¹ to work in.
The method just described for supplying nail sheets to the nail machine
appears the most obvious and best, but there are other ways which I
deem it unnecessary to describe.
Having thus fully described the said Invention as communicated to
me by my foreign correspondent, and the manner of performing the
same, I wish it understood that I claim,―
8

page_text: First. In a nail cutting machine the double cutter stock herein
described made of one single casting, having a space for the nails to fall
through, with one or more ribs connecting the two sides to each other,
and constructed to hold a series of cutters on each side, as above described,
and for the purpose set forth.
Second. In a nail cutting machine the two single cutter stocks, each
holding a series of cutters in combination with the double cutter stock
holding two series of cutters in the manner and for the purpose set
forth.
Third. In a nail cutting machine the combination of the single cutter
stock and a series of cutters thereon, and a double cutter stock and two
series of cutters thereon, with mechanism for holding the single cutter
stock in 'n state of rest while the cutting is done, and for raising it out of
the way at other times, as above described, and for the purpose set
forth.
Fourth. In a nail cutting machine a feed screw constructed to work
in notches in the edge of the nail sheet, with threads inclined partly
round, and the other part of said threads straight to feed the sheet down
by the inclined part of the threads while the sheet is disengaged from
the cutters, and by the straight part of the threads to hold the sheet at
rest while the cutters are doing their work, as above described, and for
the purpose set forth.
Fifth. In a nail cutting machine the cutters G, G³, having a space
and adjoining spur in combination with the feed screw 8, by means of
which the nail sheet can be and is fed down to the operative cutting
edges of the said cutters, thereby preventing waste at the last edge of the
sheet, as above described, and for the purpose set forth.
Sixth. In a nail cutting machine a feed screw constructed with teeth,
by means of which notches are cut in the edge of the nail sheet, the
screw at the same time feeding the sheet towards the cutters, by means
of the notches thus cut, as above described, and for the purpose sot
forth.
Seventh. In a nail cutting machine a supply rack 6', having grooves
in its sides and spaces through the bottom for the nail sheets to pass,
5 arranged on a support to over the machine, with a space or slot o' through
which the nail sheets can pass from the rack to the cutters, combined
•

page_text: with mechanism by which said rack can be moved along, successively
delivering the nail sheets therein contained to the cutters through the
slot o², as above described, and for the purpose set forth.
Eighth. In a nail cutting machine the device for moving the rack in
such a manner as to deliver each sheet in it successively into the nail
machine as it is cut into nails, consisting of the hook and the vibrating
arm y¹ in combination with the spring 2³, all so constructed and arranged
that the hook will be moved with a positive motion in the direction of
the rack's movement, but with a yielding motion in the opposite direction,
so that when a sheet is passing down it will limit the motion of said 1
hook in the direction of the sheet, and when the sheet has passed down -
out of the way said hook will pass back to another notch o', and at the
next forward movement will move the rack far enough for the delivery
of another sheet, as above described, and for the purpose set forth.
Ninth. In a nail cutting machine the thimble screw M, in combina- 1
tion with the screw L, the wedge K, the cutters F, and the cutter
stock B therewith connected, as above described, and for the purpose
set forth.
In witness whereof, I, the said George Haseltine, have hereunto
set my hand and scal, this Third day of April, in the year of 2
our Lord One thousand oight hundred and seventy-six.
