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.

“For an improvement on the Machinery for Bending Wagon Tire, hoops, bands, &c.; Josiah Butler, Cobleskill, Schoharie County, New York, September 24.

The specification is in the following words:

Instead of having the upper roller regulated by boxes and screws, above and below, as those in use are, it is regulated in the following manner, that is to say, the roller on the improved plan runs in two perpendicular iron standards, passing through the bench, or platform, on which the under rollers are placed. These standards, in which the upper roller runs, are lowered, or raised, by means of nuts and screws working on the iron standards above and below the bench or platform. By this method of setting the upper roller, the machinery is rendered less complex, and may be built with about half the expense, and with equal power and durability.”
