[Communicated from abroad by THE PROPRIETORS OF THE COPENHAGEN HORSE-SHOE
MANUFACTORY, of Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark.]
Improvements in Machines for Removing the Burred or Rough
Edges from the Nail-holes of Horse-shoes and for similar
Purposes.
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 removing the burred edges arising from
the punching of the nail-holes in horse-shoes, but the said machine can also be used
for other similar purposes with suitable modifications.
The said machine consists of a frame and a slide which can move backwards and
forwards on the said frame. On the slide is formed an elevated portion corre-
sponding with the interior shape of the horse-shoe.
The frame is provided with two columns, each of which has a bearing for carrying
one end of a shaft to the middle of which is attached an arm with two knife holders,
to which two knives are fastened by screw bolts. On the top of the arin, and attached
to the square portion of the shaft is a long handle.
When the machine has to be used the horse-shoe is placed on the slide round the
elevated portion, the slide which is moved by any suitable mechanism, is carried
forward, while the man simultaneously brings the knives into action by pressing down
the handle. If the burred or rough edge has been removed the slide is again carried
back, the man simultaneously ceasing to act upon the handle.

Improvements in Machines for Removing the Burred or Rough
Edges from the Nail-holes of Horse-shoes and for similar
Purposes.
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 for removing the burred edges arising from the
punching of the nail-holes in horse-shoes, but the said machine can also be used for
other purposes with suitable modifications.
In the accompanying drawing :-
Figure 1 shows a plan of the machine.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same.
The said machine consists of a frame A and a slide 6 which can move backwards
and forwards on the said frame. On the slide is formed an elevated portion v
corresponding with the interior shape of the horse-shoe.
The frame is provided with two columns each of which has a bearing for carrying
one end of a shaft i to the middle of which is attached an arm f with two knifo
holders n, to which two knives o are fastened by screw bolts 2. On the top of the
arm fand attached to the square portion of the shaft is a long handle d.

When it is desired to use the machine the horse-shoe is placed on the slide 6 round
the elevated portion ; the slide which is moved by any suitable mechanism is carried
forward, while the knives o are simultaneously brought into action by pressing down
the handle d. If the burred or rough edge has been removed, the slide is again
carried back, the handle d being simultaneously released.
The machine can with suitablo modifications be used for the removal of the rough
edges of other articles than horse shoes. In such cases the knob on the slide bis
omitted and in place thereof a fixing appliance corresponding with the shape of the
article is added, and the knife support n, with the knife o must he so fixed that they
exactly fit above those places on the article or piece of iron or the like where the
rough edge is to be removed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention 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 :-
A machine principally consisting as above described of a frame A, with two
columns h, a slide b moving backward and forward on frame A, with the arm ƒ fitted
with the knife holders n, and the knives o, and a handle or lever d, all as above
described and shown in the accompanying drawing.
