Stake-ir′on Bend′er.

A machine for bending stake-irons for the bolsters of wagons.

The machine is composed of an adjustable roll c, a supporting bow or ring b, and a lever d. The stake-iron is bent by three operations. In the first the straight-rod is clamped at l, and bent by the roller f on the lever d, over the curved surface d′ In the second the rod is gaged in slot g, in lever d, and bent by the lever between it and the main roll c. In the third operation the middle of the rod is gaged as in the second, and bent by the same agencies into the finished form shown in the figure. The lower portion of the figure shows a finished stakeiron.
