Patent Number	Date	Title	Name	City	Description
1,063,298	Jun. 03, 1913	Shears for Cutting Metal	Henry C. Smith	Detroit, Wayne County, MI	The patent date appears on this Quickwork 60A shear. Claim: This invention relates to shears for cutting metal, or sheet material of any kind. It has for its object an improved machine intended to cut sheets of moderate thickness and of any size along lines of any geometrical design; having a capacity to cut any line from an accurately straight line to a curved line with a radius equal to the cutters or even less than the radius of the cutters, and the cutters may have a very small radius.
1,154,666	Sep. 28, 1915	Power Hammer	Henry C. Smith	Detroit, Wayne County, MI	Claim: This invention relates to power hammers and some of its objects arc to provide means whereby the stroke of the hammer may be varied while the shaft that drives the hammer is in motion; to provide means for automatically causing the stroke to become zero when the operator leaves the machine or ceases to control the hammer; to provide means for adjusting the anvil, for maintaining it in adjusted position, and for preventing it from rebounding; and to improve the construction of the machine generally.
1,154,667	Sep. 28, 1915	Power-Hammer	Henry C. Smith	Detroit, Wayne County, MI	Claim: This invention relates to power hammer and other blow-striking devices, and some, of its objects are to provide means whereby the stroke of the hammer may be varied while the driving shaft is in motion; to provide means for automatically causing the stroke to become zero when the operator leaves the machine or ceases to control the hammer: and to improve the construction of the machine generally.
1,259,306	Mar. 12, 1918	Work-Support for Rotary Shears	Henry C. Smith	Detroit, Wayne County, MI	Claim: This invention relates to means for centering and supporting sheets and plates so that circular disks may be cut therefrom correctly by means of revolving cutters, and its object is to provide a supporting device which will automatically move to proper position under the stress of the cutters. The words rotary shear usually designate the tool as a whole, while the cutting members tire usually termed cutters.
1,313,960	Aug. 26, 1919	Shear	Henry C. Smith	St. Marys, Auglaize County, OH	Claim: In the use of rotary shears designed to operate on long metal sheets, it was customary heretofore for the workman at the end of the sheet to either himself watch the feeding of the sheet into the machine and to having it to the right or left as might be needled to keep the cutters true to line, or to take directions by word of mouth or by motion of the hand of an operator stationed close up to the machine. This procedure is wasteful in the matter of time and leads to inaccuracy in the work.
1,372,913	Mar. 29, 1921	Stop Mechanism	Henry C. Smith	St. Marys, Auglaize County, OH	Claim: This invention relates to means for disengaging the clutch mechanism employed to to drive heavy slow moving machines, particularly the clutches which move the heads of rotary shears up and down, and its object is to provide a stop mechanism which can be set to operate within very small limits, which will be positive in its operation, and which may be installed at moderate cost.
1,387,017	Aug. 09, 1921	Resilient Clutch	Henry C. Smith	St. Marys, Auglaize County, OH	Claim: This invention relates to means for starting and stopping heavy power driven machines and its object is to provide simple, compact and effective paeans for cushioning the blow between the teeth of jaw clutches so as to effectively reduce the sudden stresses on the driving mechanism of such machines.
1,398,978	Dec. 06, 1921	Tool-Driving Machine	Henry C. Smith	St. Marys, Auglaize County, OH	Claim: This invention relates to driving mechanism for rotatable machine tools such as to drills, reamers and milling cutters, and its object is to provide a driving gearing and feeding device for a spindle to which the cutting tools may be connected by means of universal couplings and interchangeable shafts.
1,528,797	Mar. 10, 1925	Indicator For Shears	Henry C. Smith	St. Marys, Auglaize County, OH	Claim: This invention relates to means for indicating the direction in which a sheet of metal must be swung in order to be operated upon along a predetermined line by means of machine tools, the invention being for the same purpose as the indicating device shown in Patent No. 1,313,960, dated 26 August, 1919; and the object of this invention is to provide a simple and effective indicator which is visible from any side of the tool convenient to the workmen.
		Indicator For Shears	Ollie L. Botkin	St. Marys, Auglaize County, OH
1,561,803	Nov. 17, 1925	Strip-Straightening Attachment For Rotary Shears	Henry C. Smith	St. Marys, Auglaize County, OH	Claim: This invention relates to means for straightening and flattening strips cut: from sheets by rotary shears, or cutters,, and its object is to provide a simple and easily adjusted mechanism which can be readily attached to or detached from the frame of the shears.
1,568,537	Jan. 05, 1926	Ribbing and Perforating Machine	Henry C. Smith	St. Marys, Auglaize County, OH	Claim: This invention relates to the construction 0 of rolls for perforating and ribbing sheets of metal and other comparatively non-resilient material, and its object is to provide rolls of this character with readily removable perforating and ribbing dies which may, be removed and replaced at little expense in labor and material.
1,585,696	May. 25, 1926	Roll	Henry C. Smith	St. Marys, Auglaize County, OH	Claim: This invention relates to rolls adapted to send flat strips or sheets of metal to produce troughs, vehicle fenders and other channels, and its object is to provide a pair f rolls which may be adjusted relative to each other to accommodate them to sheet metal of different thicknesses.
1,588,817	Jun. 15, 1926	Bending Machine	Henry C. Smith	St. Marys, Auglaize County, OH	Claim: This invention relates to machines for rolling sheets of metal into the form of troughs longitudinally, and especially to form sheets of metal into fenders of motor vehicles, and its object is to provide means for guiding the trough through the machine in such a manner so that the sides of the trough will be equal width at any given cross-section through the trough, so that troughs with varying widths of flanges in different parts thereof may be produced.
2,209,211	Jul. 23, 1940	Circle Cutting Attachment For Rotary Shears	Henry C. Smith Jr.	Chicago, Cook County, IL	Claim: This invention relates to circle cutting attachments for rotary shears of the type in which the center of the work-holders will during the cutting operation automatically be caused by the pull of the rotary cutters upon the blank to automatically move to proper position for cutting a true circle.
2,251,810	Aug. 05, 1941	Forming and Trimming Machine	Henry C. Smith Jr.	Chicago, Cook County, IL	Claim: My invention relates to a machine for trimming, beading, flanging and forming, not only large, but small stampings without the use of presses and/or dies. Heretofore this work has been done primarily by expensive presses and dies. There has long been a demand for a machine which would do this work without the use of presses and dies. Therefore, I have with my invention, solved this problem by providing a rotary machine which eliminates entirely the use of presses and dies and at the same time produces the results of a press combined with a smooth, clean-cutting action of a rotary shear.
