serving as a buffer for said trip, means op-
eratively connecting said trip to said gear-
ing for moving the trip to cooperate in
forming the stay and to cause said trip to
5 disconnect said holding means on completion
of the stay, and means for returning the
trip to starting point.
4. A wire working machine comprising a
base frame, a bearing frame attached thereto
10 and provided with upright bearing mem-
bers, a guide bar attached to said base frame
and to one of said bearing members, a tubu-
lar mandrel journaled in said upright mem-
bers and provided with a gear wheel, means
15 for driving said gear wheel and revolving
said mandrel, a trip-operating gearing in-
cluding a gear wheel for intermittently en-
gaging said first-mentioned gear wheel, hold-
ing mechanism for supporting said trip-
20 operating gearing in operative position, a
trip moving longitudinally on said bar and
actuated by said trip-operating gearing for
automatically releasing said holding mecha-
nism, said mandrel having a bit formed
25 thereon for holding the wire to coil.the same
on the outside of the mandrel while the
mandrel is being driven, and said trip hav-
ing provision for holding the end of the wire
to be coiled about said mandrel while the
30 mandrel is driven by said gearing until said
trip stops said gearing.
5. In a fence stay machine, a tubular
member adapted to receive internally one
portion of a wire, means to rotate said mem-
35 ber to coil externally the outer or other por-
tion about said first portion to produce a
stay, a carriage provided with means to ad-
just said outer portion of the wire in posi-
tion to be coiled by said tubular member,
40 guide means upon which said carriage is
reciprocably mounted, and means for recip-
rocating the carriage on the guide means.
6. A stay machine comprising a base, a
head-stock secured to the base, a tail-stock
45 secured to the base, guide means extending
between and supported in said head and tail
stocks, a forming die slidably mounted on
said guide means and having a hole therein,
a cylindrical mandrel rotatably mounted in
50 said head-stock and having a notched outer
end extending through the opening in said
die, means for positively moving said die

forward on said mandrel, means for elasti-
cally returning said die, and means for ro-
tating said mandrel during the forward 55
movement of the die thereon.
7. A stay machine comprising a base, a
head-stock secured to the base, a tail-stock
secured to the base, guide means extending
between and supported in said head and tail 60
stocks, a forming die slidably mounted on.
said guide means and having a hole therein,
a cylindrical mandrel rotatably mounted in
said head-stock and having a notched outer
end extending through the opening in said 65
die, means for positively moving said die for-
ward on said mandrel, means for elastically
returning said die, means for rotating said
mandrel during the forward movement of the
die thereon, a follower on said guide means 70
behind said die, means for elastically mov-
ing said follower forward with said die, and
means for limiting the forward movement of
said follower.
8. A stay machine comprising a base, a 75
head-stock secured to said base, a tail-stock
secured to said base, guide means extending
between and fixed to said head and tail
stocks, a forming die slidable on said guide
means and having a hole extending there- 80
through, a follower on said guide means
behind said die, said follower having an
opening therethrough in alinement with the
opening in said die, means for elastically
moving said follower forward with the die, 85
means for limiting said forward movement
of the follower, a shaft mounted in said
head-stock, a hollow mandrel secured to said
shaft and having a notched end extending
through the hole in said die, means for driv- 90
ing said shaft, driving means for positively
moving said die forward on said mandrel,
means operated by said die for releasing said
driving means, and means for elastically re-
turning said die after the release of said 95
positive driving means.
In testimony whereof, I set my hand in the
presence of two witnesses, this 24th day of
April, 1915.
