JOSEPH W. BARN'A, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO BOSTON MACHINE WORKS COMPANY OF LYNN, MASSACHUSETTS, A CORPGRATION OF MASSACHUSETTS.

CEMENTING APPARATUS.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH W. BARNA, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cementing Apparatus, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing. 1

My-invention relates to an apparatus to apply cement to shoe uppers, Vamps, etc., and consists in certain matters hereinafter described and then pointed out.in the claims.

lln the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side View of an apparatus embodying the features of my present invention; Fig. 2 is a side view of the combined wiper and nozzle for applying cement; Fig. 3 1s a rear end view of the same; Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 with the wiper removed; Fig. 5 is a sectional view of the same taken on the line 55 of Fig. 3; Fig. 6 is a top plan view of the table shown in Fig. 1 with a cement applying head in position thereon, and Fig. 7 is a sectional view of the table of Fig. 6.

In the drawings the reference numeral 10 indicates a suitable glue or cement tank of any desired size and shape, preferably mounted upon legs 11 and having a ventvalve 12 in its removable top. The tank has a cement outlet 13 to which a cement applying head is flexibly connected, the connections preferably being in the form of pipe sections 14, jointed by ordinary gas pipe joints 15. The upper section is connected to an upper bracket 16 on the tank by a lifting spring 17, whereby the pipe connections and the attached cement applying head are normally lifted or held in raised position above and free from the associated table, and the lower section is provided with a cut off valve 18.

The cement applying head consists of a combined nozzle and wiper which is attached by a universal joint 19 to the lower section 14, and comprises a body 20 providing a hollow. chamber with which the lower section 14 communicates and which has a lateral slot or outlet opening 21 near its lower margin noimally closed by a spring pressed valve 22. The body is provided with a brush holder formed by the under cut or beveled sides 23 in which a brush or other Wiper 24 is frictionally held, the ar- Specification of Letters Patent.

rangement being such that the lower end of the brush or wiper is arranged adjacent the outlet 21. The valve 22 is operated by a suitable finger piece 25 which cooperates with an adjustable stop 26. The body is preferably provided with a handle 27, and a downwardly projecting marginal guide lug or stem 28 is arranged at one end of the bush holder and extends below the line of the brush or wiper so that as the latter rests upon the material the guide extends down into contact with the edges to hold the brush in proper alinement to deposit a narrow strip or ribbon of cement along the edges of the materia. The body is thus guided so that the strip or ribbon of cement is uniformly applied along the edges of the material.

Associated with the tank is a table consisting of a suitable pedestal or support 29 and a removable revolving top 30 whose contour or outline corresponds to the shape of the edges of the material to which the cement is to be applied. In the form shown the table is divided into three sections or zones marked respectively a, b, 0, and each shaped to correspond to a, pair of shoe quarters or Vamps, as the case may be, and each preferably accommodating a pair of such quarters or Vamps, as right and left hand quarters as indicated in outline by the dotted lines 09. While the zones may be of the same size I prefer to make them of dif ferent sizes; for example, the zone a being for right and left hand quarters of sizes 5 and 6, the zone Z) for similar quarters of sizes 7 and 8, and the zone a for similar quarters of sizes 9 and 10; of course these zones may be shaped to correspond to the outline of quarters, Vamps, etc., of different styles of shoes as bluchers, oxfords and. others. 31 on the long side of each zone, and with stops 32- on the short side of each zone to hold the material in place. While each top is shaped for quarters or Vamps of some one of the various styles of shoes, in order to enable the apparatus to be used with various shapes of such materials the table is constructed so that each top may be removed from the pedestal and another top having a different outline or for a different size may be used, and this interchangeability may be obtained by providing each top with an opening adapted to fit over a projection The table is provided with stops Figs. 2 and 5,

, the cement on 33 on the pedestal. If desired the pedestal may have a flange 34 to steady the top.'

When a top corresponding to the style of quarters, vamps, etc., to be treated is in place on the pedestal, the top properly provided with its material to be cemented is rotated to bring one of its zones into position with terial in the manner above described, these operations being repeated until the work is completed. The guide 28 rests against the edges of the table so as to deposit the cement upon the margins of the leather and insures its application in a strip y of uniform width, and the brush or wiper is arranged in rear of the slot or outlet 21 of the head considering the direction of movement of the head when traveling on the table so that when the head is moved over the material the brush or wiper is bent away from the outlet slot 21 by its friction with the material, this being indicated by the bend of the wiper in so that the wiper does not clog or stop the outlet of the head or check the flow of cement.

The spring 17 holds the head out of contact with the table but allows the operator to easily draw it down to position to deposit the material, and the joints of the pipe allowsuflicient flexibility for the head to move in contact with the varying contours of the interchangeable tops.

I claim:

1. In a device of the class described, a cement tank, a cement-applying member having a guide, flexible connections between said member and tank, and a table having its edge shaped to the pattern of the material to be cemented and with which said guide co-acts.

2. In a device of the class described, a ce: menttank, a cement-applying member having a guide, flexible connections between said member and tank, and a revolving table having its edge shaped to various sizes of the pattern of the materials to be cemented and with which said guide co-acts.

3. In a, device of the class described, a ce- A i,os0,377

ment tank, a cement-applying member having a guide, flexible connections between said member and tank, and a revolving table having its edge shaped to the pattern of a pair of shoe members and with which the said guide co-acts.

4:. In a device of the class described, acenient tank, a cement-applying member having a guide, flexible connections between said member and tank, and a revolving table having its edge shaped to the pattern of a right and left shoe-quarters and with which said guide co-acts.

5. In a device of the class described, a cementtank, a cement-applying member having a guide, flexible connections 1 between said member and tank, a pedestal injuxtaposition to said tank, and a removable top on said pedestal having its edge shaped to the pattern of the material to be cemented and with which said guide co-acts.

6. In a device of the class described, a cement tank, a cement-applying member having a guide, flexible connections between said member and tank, a table for the material to be cemented and with which said guide co-ats, and a lifting-spring on tank to raise thesaid member out of contact with the table.

7. In a device of the class described, a cement tank, a cement-applying member, flexible connections between said member and tank, a table having its edge shaped to the pattern of the material to be cemented, said member comprising a cement-chamber having an outlet, a brush-holder in rear of the outlet, and a guide extending below the same to engage the edge of the table.

8. In a device of the class described, a cement tank, a cement applying member, flexible connections between said member and tank, a table having its edge shaped to the pattern of the material to be cemented, said member comprising a cement-chamber having an outlet shaped to discharge cement in a strip or ribbon, a wiper in rear of said outlet, and a guide extending below the wiper to engage the edge of the table.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
