Be it known thatL-Fmsoihl. Moonr, a

- citiZen otthe United. States. 'resid'ngat h 1t ma1f1. in the county of Plymonti and State of'itiassachusetts. have. invented new and useful "Improvements in Machines" for Banding and Cutting i the Shanks of Shoes, of wl ch the tollowing is a specifica tic-n. I j I 1 This invention. relates toimprorenients 'cutting in In the manufacture of shoes. after the sole. and heel are -ap1.i lied,jtl ie' sole edge is trimmed by means oi arotary cutter trom a point forward of one corner of the breast of the heel around the sole to a point-forward of the other corner of the breast of the heel. The heel is. then trimmed by imeans of a rotary cutter from one corner of the breast thereof aronnd to the other corner of thebreast. The shoe then goes to by means' ota hand knife corners of the'breast and naltes on each side of the shank at. the breastan inward cut which leaves neatly finished corners. This operation is commonly, known as "cutting in. .The randing or trimming ofi of the feather edgeot the'welt and its ends ashacent to the heel takes place on, a machine, having a rotar cutter... v

The guide 17 is provided with two rearwardly extendmg steps or lugs 28, -28, the purpose of which will be hereinafter described. Two knives 29,- 29 which are arranged to be guided by the flanges 20, 20, respectively, areadjustably mounted in holders 30, 30, respectively, by means of set screws 31, 31. said holders in turn being adjustably secured in blocks 32. 32, respectively, b means of set screws 33, The blocks means of rods 35 passing through said slides, whlle nuts 36 having screw-threaded engagement with said rods serve to ad ustably secure said rods to said slides in such a manner that the blocks 32 may be adjusted toward and away from the slide 34, respectively. The slides 34, 34 which are mounted in suitable ways formed in the frame 10 are pivotally connected at 3T, 37 to eccentric rods 38, 38 forming port-ions ofeccentric straps 39, 39.

The eccentric straps 39, 39 surround eccentrics 40, 40 said eccentrics being fast to the shaft 12. 41 third eccentric 41 also fast to the shaft 152 is surrounded by an eccentric strap42 pivoted at 43 to a U-shaped slide 44 to the arms 45, 45 of which are fast knives 46, 46 by means of set screws 47, 47. Two stops 48, 48 which are adapted to en gage the corners of the heel of a shoe are provided, respectively, with shanks 49, 49 inserted in L-shaped brackets 50, 50 and held therein by means of set screws 51, 51. The horizontal portions of the brat-l ts .50 extend'into holes formed in lugs 5-2, 52 and are secured therein by means of set screws 53, 53. Thus it will be seen that the stops 48 may be adjusted vertically bv loosening the set screws 51 and may be ad justed horizontally by loosening the set screws 53 and moving the brackets 50 horizontally. A movable cover plate 54 extending across the top of the machine strengthens the frame 10 at that point and protects the mechanism located therebeneath from dust and dirt.

Having thus specifically described the machine, I'will now proceed to describe its gen eral operation.

Referring first to Figs. 1 and 2. the operator places a shoe 55 in the position shown with the guiding ecge 18 and flange 19 forced between the welt and upper of the shoe and moves said shoe toward the right, Fig. 2, until the uppermost corner of the breast of the heel strikes the right hand stop 48 which limits the movement of the heel toward the right and also limits its movement upwardly. During the movement of the shoe just described, the rotary cutter 16 trims off a very slight amount of the welt of the shoe at the rear end thereof, that is, at ,the feather edge 56 shown in Fig. 5. The corner of the heel being now located against the right hand stop 48, the operator swings the toe of the shoe up .wardly until the upper edge of the shank of said shoe strikes the. stop The right hand knife 29 which is being reciproeated advances toward the breast of the heel as illustrated in Fig. '7. and trims the edge of the shank as far as the breast. As the knife 29 recedes, the righthand vertical knife 46 v moves downwardly and makes an inward are secured to two slides 34, 34. respectively.

cut as at 57 thus completing the operation. The operator then removes the shoe, reverses the same and operates upon the opposite side of the shank in a similar manner, using the left hand set of stops and knives.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire by Letters Patent to secure is:
