[Communicated from abroad by THE PROPRIETORS OF THE COPENHAGEN HORSE SHOE
MANUFACTORY, of Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark.]
Improvements in Machines for Use in the Manufacture of 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 to be as follows :―
This invention relates to machines for use in the manufacture of horse-shoes and
comprises a machine in which the iron blank intended for the horse-shoe is bent
into the proper shape, the shoe having previously been furnished with nail ridges,
clips and if necessary calks.
On the frame of the machine is formd a slide which is provided with two arms,
the said slide is moved backward and forward by a crank and connecting rod. On
the said slide is forind a raised portion corresponding in shape with the interior shape
of the horse-shoe, in front of which the blank, intended for the horse shoe is laid,
when the slide is moved forward, the said iron blank is acted upon by two rollers
which are fastened by bolts to levers. These rolls press the iron blank closely round
the said raised form. Two powerful springs act upon the levers, so that the rolls
wrap the iron piece closely around the raised form. When the bending is about
completed, the arms act upon two projecting knobs, on the levers, whereby the
pressure of the rollers against the outside ends of the raised form is increased, so
as to make sure of the ends fitting closely round the form. A horizontal lever
serves the purpose of firmly keeping the iron piece in its place in front of the said
raised form.
When the bending is completed the slide again moves back, the horizontal lever is
lifted and the shoo is taken off.

Improvements in Machines for Use in the Manufacture of Horse-
shoes.
1, 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 for use in the manufacture of horse-shoes and
comprises a machine for bending the iron blank intended for the horse-shoe into the
proper shape, the shoe having previously been furnished with nail ridges, clips and
if necessary, calks.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 is a plan of the machine.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of a portion of the slide with the form.
On the frame a of the machine is formed a slide c which is provided with two
arms b the said slide is moved backward and forward by a crank and connecting
rod d. On the said slide is formed a raised portion or form a¹ corresponding in
shape with the interior shape of the horse-shoe. The blank intended for the horse

page_text: shoe is placed in front of the said form a' as shown in Figure 1. When the slide
is moved forward in the direction of the arrow the said iron blank is acted upon by
two rollers f¹ which are fastened by bolts g to levers f. These rollers pross the iron
blank closely round the said raised form a¹.
Two powerful springs fact upon the levers f so that the rollers wrap the iron
piece closely around the raised form a¹.
When the bending is about completed the arms b act upon two projecting knobs n
on the levers, whereby the pressure of the rollers against the outside ends of the
raised form is increased, so as to make sure of the ends fitting closely round the
form a¹.
A horizontal lever a² serves the purpose of firmly keeping the iron piece in its
place in front of the said raised form.
When the bending is completed the slide again moves back; the horizontal lever a³
is lifted and the shoe is taken off.
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 mo
by my foreign correspondent I declare that what I claim is :-
The improved machine for use in the manufacture of horse-shoes consisting
principally of the frame a, the slide c with the arms and the form a' the two
levers with rollers 1, the springs f", and the lever a³ all otherwise as described
above and shown in the accompanying drawing.
