Composite Circular Saws for the Manufacture of Horse-shoe Studs,
Cogs, Toe-pieees, Nuts, Pipe-sockets, Chain-studs and the like.
We, EDWIN RAYBOULD, of 4, Williams Street, Brierley Hill, Mechanic, and
JAMES RAYBOULD, of 9, Pensuett Road, Brierley Hill, Iron Works Manager,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The present invention relates to an apparatus for the manufacture from
sectional bars of any suitable metal, of horse-shoe studs, toe-pieces, chain studs,
blocks, and the like, also applicable to many other objects.
Said apparatus consists of a series or row of revolving circular saws of varying
diameter and thickness, said saws being fixed on a shaft or spindle which passes
through their centres, by means of wedges, bolts and nuts, or any other suitable
device, and placed between two flanges, one of which is fixed and the other loose,
so that the number and formation of the sets of saws may be varied as required.
. The number of the saws used is optional.
The saws are arranged in sets which are separated from each other at regulated
distances by blocks or distance pieces of smaller diameter than the saws.
Any preferred section of bar may be used and each set of saws may be so
arranged as regards number, size and position on the spindle as to cut simul-
taneously from the bar several studs or other article of the shape required. The
shaft or spindle may be driven in any preferred manner.

The saws are arranged in sets which are separated from each other at regular
distances by blocks or distance pieces of smaller diameter than the saws, and each
set of saws is mounted on a sleeve which fits on to the driving shaft, so that
each set of saws can be removed from the apparatus and replaced or the whole i
block may be removed or re-fixed on the main driving shaft.
Fixed in front of the saws is a feed table, with grips, which vary according to.
the section of iron, steel or other metal to be cut. This table is free to turn upon
a shaft so that it may be tilted above or below the centre of the saws, for the
purpose of rounding the shoulders on the horse shoe, studs or cogs the rounding 1
being to allow a wrench being applied to withdraw the worn-out stud or cogs
from the horse shoe without taking it off.
We will now describe our invention with reference to the accompanying
drawings, which shew the apparatus adapted for cutting horse-shoe studs, and
in which
Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a block of saws constructed according to our
invention and also shows the method of cutting out the studs.
Fig. 2, shows a sectional end view of the apparatus and also shews the upper
part of a feed table.
a is the driving shaft on which is a fixed flange b. e is a sleeve on which the
saws are mounted. One end of the sleeve which is flanged, is held in place
by the fixed flange b, and at the other end by the nut d screwed on to shaft a.
e, e, are saws which divide the bar f into studs f¹, the shoulders f2 being cut by
the saws g, g. h, h are distance pieces between the sets of saws.
The saws are
held on the sleeve c by the loose flange i which is locked in place by the nut j
which screws on to the end of the sleeve c.
kis a table which is pivotted at ¹, so that while the studs are held against
the saws by the grips or tongs 1, the edge of the table next to the saws can be
slightly tilted above or below the centre of the saws, for the purpose of rounding
the shoulders, on the studs when desirable. is a stop on the tongs to prevent
the studs shifting back while being cut.
The method of operation is as follows:-
The metal bar to be cut is taken by the operator at a suitable heat and placed
in the grips or tongs on the feed table in front of the saws, and forced into the
saws by the grips, the bar being cut into as many pieces as the working set of saws
determine. Each piece is all the while held firmly in the grips and while so,
the table is tilted above and below the centre of the saws for the purpose of
rounding the shoulders of the studs or cogs.
If desired, more than one bar of metal may be cut at the same time, or when
the pattern of the saws allow, two feed tables with grips or tongs may be used.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
(1). The apparatus for the cutting of horse shoe studs, toe-pieces, nuts, pipe
sockets, chain studs and the like from bars or rods of metal, substantially as
herein described and set forth.
(2). An apparatus for the cutting of horse-shoe studs, toe-pieces, nuts, pipe
sockets, chain studs, and the like, consisting essentially of a number of saws
of varying diameters, and thicknesses, and arranged in sets separated by distance
pieces, mounted upon a sleeve, which in turn is mounted upon a central driving
shaft and held in place thereon by means of suitable flanges or the like, in

page_text: combination with a pivotted feed table capable of being tilted for the purpose
of adjusting the position of the bar being cut, substantially as herein described
and for the purpose set forth.
(3). In an apparatus as claimed in Claims 1 and 2, the combination of a
movable feed table k with the grips and tongs 1, and stop or stops 1', substantially
as herein described and set forth."
