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.
“A crimping board, similar to that ordinarily used by cordwainers, has the leather placed upon it in the usual way. The crimping board is then applied to the machine, which is the subject of this patent. This machine consists of a frame of wood, having on the upper part of it two jaws, between which the crimping board is to be drawn. These jaws open and close by means of a screw attached to each. On the lower part of the frame there is a roller, which is to be turned by means of a crank; from this roller two chains proceed, one of which is to be hitched to the top, and the other to the toe, of the crimping board, which has staples attached to it for that purpose. When the board is fixed between the jaws, the crank is turned, and the board and leather are consequently forced down, and the latter crimped; it is then taken out and permitted to dry.”
