Apparatus for forming horse shoes comprises a hydraulic press (10) with means to operate said press. A horse shoe former (12) is securable to the outer end of the cylinder of the ram and cylinder (11) of the press (10). The former (12) has two similarly shaped plates (13) secured, in mirror-image fashion, to the outer end of the cylinder of the ram and cylinder (11) of the press (10). The plates (13) have forming peripheries (13A) which are angled and engage a complementary shape formed of angled surfaces of two bottom face-to-bottom face blanks (22). An anvil (14) is located under the former (12) and against which the blanks (22) are deformed into substantial U-shapes by extension of the ram. Length-extendable means in the form of ram and cylinder arrangements (23, 24) are provided on opposite lateral sides of the anvil (14) and, on extension, cause the outer ends of the deformed blanks to be bent around said former plates (13). |
