IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR SECURING THE FASTENINGS ON STAY BUSKS, AND OTHER LIKE ARTICLES
Year: 1885

page_text: I, JAMES JACKSON, of Mary Street, Sheffield, in the County of York, Stay
Busk Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR SECURING THE FASTENINGS ON STAY BUSKS,
AND OTHER LIKE ARTICLES," to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in apparatus for rivetting the fastenings
on Stay Busks or wherever rivetting is required for similiar purposes, dispensing
with hand labour.
The essential feature of this invention is in the construction of a machine with
an axle working in upright brackets on a bench, having a clutch with one or more
lugs on the face of it, and revolving on and with the said axle, the clutch being
moved by means of a sliding clutch-box in connection with a foot-treadle; when
the treadle is down the said clutch-box is moved on the axle, and comes in contact
with a lug on a one or more eared clutch; these ears force down a lever which lifts
afly or punch, the "said fly or punch being forced onto the rivet by means of a
spiral head or tail spring or an india-rubber cushion at either end of the lever, the
said fly or punch being fixed in a similiar manner to an ordinary hand punch, with
a bed plate to stamp on, the said lever lifting the fly or punch about the middle.
One or more punches may work on the same axle to perform different work on
the above principle of fastening the eyes and studs on the Stay Busks.
.
The rivets or studs with round heads at one end are placed through the eyes and
Busk and then under the stamp, the heads' already on the rivets or studs are bedded
into the bed-plate bringing them flush with it; the treadle is then pressed down
putting the clutch in action and lifting the fly or punch. The spring then brings
down the said punch onto the heads of the rivets or studs, and by one or a series
of blows, caused by concussion, finishes them off with a round head at the
other end.
The stamp has a self-feeder attached to it.
The main shaft may be driven by steam or other equivalent power.

I, JAMES JACKSON, of Mary Street, Sheffield, in the County of York, Stay
Busk Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR SECURING THE FASTENINGS ON STAY-BUSKS
AND OTHER LIKE ARTICLES 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 apparatus for rivetting the fastenings on stay busks
or wherever rivetting is required for similiar purposes, dispensing with hand
labour.
The essential feature of this invention is in the construction of a machine with
an axle working in upright brackets on a bench, or other convenient place, having
a clutch with one or more lugs on the face of it.
This clutch does not revolve with the axle it being moved by means of a sliding
clutch-box in connection with a foot-treadle and when the treadle is down the said
clutch box slides on a key fastened to the axle by two collars and comes in contact
with a lug on a one or more eared clutch.
.
When the foot is taken off the treadle the clutch-box is made to slide back by
means of a spring attached to the fork from the bench as shewn in Fig. 3. the
fork having a nut on either side running in a groove or recess on the clutch-box.
When the clutch is caused to revolve the ears force down a lever which lifts a
fly or punch the said fly or punch being forced onto the rivet by means of a spiral
head tail or other spring or an india-rubber cushion at either end of the lever the
said fly or punch being fixed in a similiar manner to an ordinary hand punch
with a bed-plate (held firmly in position by dogs) (as shewn in accompanying
drawings) to stamp on, the said lever lifting the By or punch at about the
middle.
One or more punches may be attached to the same axle to perform different
work on the above principle of fastening the eyes and studs on stay busks or other
like articles.
"The rivets or studs with round heads at one end are placed through the eyes
and busk and then under the stamp the heads already on the rivets or studs are
bedded into the. bed-plate bringing them flush with it; the treadle is then pressed
down putting the clutch-box.in action and lifting the fly or punch. The spring
brings down the said punch onto the heads of the rivets or studs and by one or a
series of blows caused by concussion finishes them off with a round head at the
other end.
The main shaft may be driven by steam or other, equivalent power.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.
•
Fig. 1. is a plan shewing position of apparatus at work, A being the axle, B the
clutch, C clutch-box, D collars, E key or slide, Flugs on clutch and clutch-box,
G nuts on fork fitting into groove or recess on clutch-box, H lever, I frame, J dogs
cast onto bed K for holding bed-plate L in a firm position, M hammer, N washer
for regulating the pressure of hammer,

page_text: Fig. 2. is a side view in elevation shewing section of clutch-box through Y. Z.,
O being spring fitting over hammer M and resting on washer P. Q is a small spring
which lifts the hammer off its work.
Fig. 3. is a front elevation shewing apparatus at rest. R is the fork, S fork-
holder, T connecting-rod from fork to treadle U, and V is a small spring to hold the
clutch-box back when the foot is off the treadle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
Firstly. An improved apparatus for rivetting the fastenings on stay-busks or
wherever rivetting is required for similiar purposes.
Secondly. In the construction of a machine with a clutch with one or more lugs
and having one or more ears and working loose on the axle the clutch being caused
to revolve by the lugs on the clutch-box coming in contact with the one on the
clutch the said clutch-box working with the axle but having a sliding motion as
before described.
Thirdly. In the lifting of the fly or hammer by the rotation of the clutch, the
eared fly or hammer being forced down onto its work by means of springs or
india-rubber cushions at either end of the lever.
Fourthly. In the construction of a machine with an axle working in upright
brackets to which one or more punches may be attached as herein-before specified,
described, and illustrated by accompanying drawings.
