A spring, 11', for moving thelever back The machine punches the eyelet-holes, feeds. is applied to the lever and an arm, g, of the along the material to be eyeleted, and inserts frame. A lever, 0*, provided with a frictionin each hole and upsets an eyelet, the feeding wheel or stud to enter the groove of the cam ot' the material being efl'eeted by the anvil and F is pivoted to the frame, and has its upper its operative mechanism, in manner as herearm resting against the tail of the lever H. inai'ter described.

The feeding-spout y, disposed as repreranged in it and duly sustained in proper bearsented, is supported by a standard, b, erected iugs a driving-shaft, 13, provided with three upon a slide, 0, such slide being arranged and groovedjcams, D E F, and an additional cam, supported by parallel and horizontal guides back laterally 2 also d, d, projecting from the frame, all as represented. A rocker-shaft, e, disposed under the slide transversely of the machine and in a suitable bearing or bearings, carries an arm,

to extend from it between two projections, g h, of the slide. Another arm, 1",from' the rocker shaft is pivoted .or jointed to the anvilearrier, which, during its vertical motions,

imparts, by means of the arm 1 a reciprocating rotary motion to the rocker-shaft, in consequence of which the feeding-spout will be moved toward and awayfrom the anvil, as occasion may require; The rocker-shaft is providedatith an extra arm, 10'', whoseofli'ce is to actuate suitable mechanism for agitating a box or reseri oir to cause eyelets to be delivered therefrom into the feeding-spout as in other eyelet-machines. A piece of leather or work to beeyeleted is to be placed on the platform and between such and the presser and against the'edge-gage. This having been done and the machine set in operation the punch will be driven downward, so as to punch a hole in the work, after which the punch will rise out of the material, and, with the anvil or upsetter, will be simultaneously moved until the anvil may be brought directly over the hole made by the punch. Next, the anvil will be caused to descend so far as to cause its finger l to enter the side hole. Next, the presser will be raised oii' the material in order to allow such material to-be movedon the platform by the anvil'ortiie making part of such anvil: b, the bed and the anvil a are to be simul' taneously moved forward laterally, whereby the punch *tho finger will feed the material along until the finger may come directly over the eyeletreceiver i. An eyelet being previously deposited on the receiver, so as to encompass such a-ndgrest on the-compressor, the-latter will next be driven upward, and the presser will be drawn downward, the whole being so as to cause the material to be held firmly in place upon the platform, the eyelet to be forced up into the whole of the material and to be pressed against the anvil, so as to be inserted in the material and be fixed thereto by being upset in a manner well understood.

What I claim as my invention or' improvement in eyeleting-machines 'is 1. In an eyelet-setting machine the upsetting-anvil a, operating from above the work supporting platform, in' combination with its actuating mechanism, whereby it is adapted to automatically feed the stock after the eyelet-hole has been punched, and'to set the eye let, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the punch 11, bed 0, and anvil a], with theinactu'atiug mechanism, whereby they are given a simultaneous lateral reciprocating movement, and caused to automatically punch and feed forward the stock, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination, with the stock-feeding and eyelet-setting a'nvil a, of the presserfl all substantially as and for the 5 mzsea;

forth.
