No. 16029.—27th February, 1903.—SAMUEL GEORGE DICKSON, of 538, Elizabeth Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Pattern-maker. Improvements in machines for manufacturing horse-shoes.*

Extract from Specification.—This invention relates to improvements in machines designed for use in the manufacture of horse-shoes. In it a suitably prepared heated bar or rod of iron, steel, or other metal of the proper length is fed through a feed-race or channel to between a pair of rotary, swaging, and fullering rolls of novel form, in order to bring the bar to its proper varying section, and at the same time form the fullering and the nail-hole recesses when afterwards the so-far-prepared bar is led direct through a tubular channel or race to between a pair of rotary rolls or dies which convert it into the requisite horse-shoe shape. Means are provided for feeding the heated bars to the rolls or dies and for ejecting the finished horse-shoe from the lower dies, and also for operating the whole of the moving parts by mechanical movements and gearing.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

Claims.—(1.) In apparatus of the character substantially as described, a tap provided with a plug having a channel around part of its circumference, the barrel of the said tap having a hole through which air may pass to the said channel, a branch upon the said barrel having a hole, and means for connecting the said branch to the top of a cask, as set forth. (2.) In apparatus of the character substantially as described, a tap provided with a plug having a channel around part of its circumference, the barrel of the said tap having a hole through which air may pass to the said channel, a branch upon the said barrel having a hole, a bent pipe attached to the top and connecting with the interior of the beer-barrel, and a pipe connecting the branch on the tap and the said bent pipe, as set forth. (3.) The combination in apparatus of the character substantially as described, of a tap provided with a plug having a channel around part of its circumference, the barrel of the said tap having a hole through which air may pass to the said channel, a branch upon said channel having a hole, a bent pipe attached to the top of and communicating with the interior of the cask, a valve chamber having a by-pass and nozzle upon free end of the bent pipe, a non-return valve seat in the valve-chamber, and a pipe connecting the branch on the tap and nozzle of the said bent pipe, as set forth. (4.) The combination and arrangement of parts comprising the improved tap and apparatus in connection therewith for use in drawing off beer and other liquids from containing-vessels, substantially as and for the purposes set forth and illustrated upon the drawings.
