E E are a handle and lever, by which the sliding-bolt K and the spindle C are drawn spiral spring M surrounds the arbor C, and bearing against the uppermost of the heads A2 and againstthe pulley B, causes the spindle and bolt to descend, when the handle E is allowed to recede and ren-ders the motion in both directions regular and smooth. As the bolt K descends it is brought into con-tact with the pins gg, which are made fast to the jaws and forces them open. In using this machine, when the handle E has been moved back, and the sliding-bolt and arbor havedescended, a blank, which has been notched, is fed in through the countersunk opening in the plate J,so as to enter between the jaws. The handle E is then drawn forward, which closes sa
