SHOE MANUFACTORY, of Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark.]
Improvements in Machines for Forming the Calks on Horse-shoes
or Horse-shoe Blanks.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake, and 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 forming the calks on horse shoes.
In carrying the invention into practice the iron blank from which the horse shoe is
made is placed between two jaws, one of which is attached to the frame by means of
a screw, while the other jaw is adjustably attached to the block which may also be
moved towards or away from the fixed jaw by means of a screw. The movable jaw
can be regulated in the direction of its length by means of a screw, and is kept in its
position by the screw.
Rigidly connected with the bottom or fixed jaw is the supporting block which is
provided with holes through which the screws pass, and which serves the purpose of
holding or supporting the bending block.
In front of the jaws is arranged the slide which is moved vertically up and down,
and to which two die blocks are attached by bolts.
The blank of iron is placed between the jaws and firmly held by the screw, having
previously been pushed so much forward that the end touches the slide between the
die blocks. The slide is then moved up whereby the bottom die block bends the
projecting end of the iron blank up over the end of the upper jaw. When the slide is
turned downwards, it pushes the peculiarly cut upper die block against the bent end
of the iron blank whereby this is pressed into the right shape and the calkin is thus
completed.

In the accompanying drawing.
Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the improved machine.
Figure 2 is a vertical cross section and
Figure 3 a vertical longitudinal section of the same.
In carrying the invention into practice, the iron blank from which the horse-shoo is
to be made is placed between two jaws u and Z the one of which is attached to the
frame by means of a screw B while the other jaw Z is adjustably attached to the
block y which may also be moved towards, or away from, the fixed jaw & by means of
a screw A. The movable jaw Z can be regulated in the direction of its length by
means of a screw n and is kept in its position by the screw o.

page_text: Rigidly connected with the bottom or fixed jaw is the supporting block which is
provided with holes through which the screws A and a pass as well as a hole for a
screw which serves the purpose of holding or supporting the bending block.
In front of the jaws is arranged the slide a which is moved vertically up and down,
and to which two die blocks and d² are attached by bolts.
The blank of iron is placed between the jaws and firmly held by the screw A, having
previously been pushed forward, so that the end touches the slide a between the die-
blocks d and d. The slide a is then moved up, whereby the bottom die-block d¹ bends
the projecting end of the iron blank up over the end of the upper jaw Z.
When
the slide is turned downwards, it pushes the peculiarly-cut upper die-block against
the bent end of the iron blank, whereby this is pressed into the right shape and the
calkin is thus completed.
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 me
by my foreign correspondents I declare that what I claim is
:-
The improved machine for forming the calks on horse-shoes, characterized by the
two blocks d¹ and attached to a slide a, one of which blocks bends the calkin up,
when the slide is moved in the one direction, while the other shapes the bent calk by
the aid of a suitable cut-out portion in its front side, when the slide is moved in the
opposite direction while the iron blank is firmly held between two jaws all as above
described and shown in the accompanying drawing.
