Description: |
| Initial application in 1901; application renewed in 1904. Corresponding Canadian patent CA-80,269 was granted Apr. 14, 1903, with F. H. Smith Mfg. Co. as co-applicant.
The patent claims a rivet setter with basic design to set "lacing hooks" in boots and shoes, with extra caps to adapt its use for setting hollow rivets in other applications. Pressure is applied by pulling the lever handle forward rather than pushing it down. An alternative pressure application means is provided for "foot power."
The overall appearance is similar to other rivet setters associated with Pomeroy patents.
The patent date is shown in a catalog illustration of a "UNIVERSAL Hook and Grommet Setter" -- no manufacturer attribution given.
The September 23 1899 issue of Iron & Steel, page 14, has an article on H. C. Pomeroy of 11-13 Canal St., Chicago, inventor and sole manufacturer of a patent riveting machine (presumably the machine of patent 646,035). The November 25, 1899 issue, page 8, mentions that Pomeroy had moved to 30 West Randolph Street and henceforth his business would be operating as Pomeroy & Smith. By 1907 the firms F. H. Smith Manufacturing Co. and Great Lakes Manufacturing Co. were both located in Chicago and both manufacturing riveting machines. This particular patent matches riveters made by the F. H. Smith company. |
