Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
"This machine consists of a press to be forced down by a lever. A metallic plate is prepared, in the form and of the size of the sole of the boot, or shoe, to be pegged. This plate is perforated with holes, corresponding with the pegs to be driven. Two other plates are prepared, one of which is furnished with awls, which are to pass through the holes in the first plate, and perforate the sole. The second plate is furnished with metal pins, with flat ends, which also fit into the holes in the first plate. When the boot is properly placed
the press, the perforated plate is laid upon the sole, and secured in its place; the plate with awls is then laid on, and pressed down; when this is removed, a peg is placed in each perforation of the plate, and that which has the pegging pins, with flat ends, drives the whole of them home at one operation."
