The article to be rivetted is suspended between the die, 6, and counter-die, a, and in the position the engine in fig. 1, appears the steam has been admitted under the piston and raised it to the top of the cylinder, and pressed the jointed bar, C, into a straight line, and forced the die, 6, upon the rivet. When the steam is cut off, and the underside of the piston opened to the eduction passage, the weight of the machinery, together with the weight of the piston, causes it to descend, and with it the rod, H, and the jointed bar, C, which then takes an angular form like the knee when bent, and draws back the standards, B B, and with them the die, 6; when the steam is again admitted the piston is again raised to the position as shown, and presses upon the rivet as before.
