No. 18528.—1st October, 1904.—THOMAS CHARLES HEMENT, of Hereford Street, Christchurch, New Zealand, Engineer. Improved means of forming O.G. spouting.*

———

Extract from Specification.—There are only two dies to this invention, one top and one bottom die. The dies are of metal, or can be made of wood, grooved and hollowed out to form the curves and part of the front bead. A strip of sheet iron is put between the top and bottom dies, and pressure is brought to bear on the top die, which presses the sheet iron into the grooves and hollow curves and part of the front bead in one operation, and while the sheet-iron strip is under pressure between the top and bottom dies the front remaining part of bead and the back of the spouting is turned up by means of two longitudinal angle-plates at front and back of dies, these angle-plates being worked by means of two longitudinal mandrils geared up together at the end; a lever is attached to one of these mandrils, which opens and closes the angle-plates both at the same time.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
