To all whom imag concern.'

Be it known that I, WIILLIAM A. BOND, a citizen of the Unitedl States, residing at Lynneld, in the county of Essex and State of li'assachusetts, have invented certain Improvements in Lasting-Machines, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specilication, like reference characters von the drawings indicating like parts in the several iigures.

This invention relates to shoe lasting machinesand'is here embodied in va machine for lasting shoes`having 'an outturned upper attached to a projecting edge of the 'shoe `sole as distinguished from shoes having an inturned upper foldedv inwardly upon the sole and fastened there under the last.

-An object of this invention is to provide an organized machine including means for Y engaging the outturned upper, means for engagxngfthe s'ole, and preferably means for pressing the upper towardthe sole between the first mentionedv means and the 'side of .the last, together with-mechanism for relatively moving said means to per over the last and lay it )looting-,edge of the sole, curing the upper while so laid.l

, Thls invention in the general organization ofthe machine and in the coperative action of diii'erent devices, as well'as in new constructions for the purposes contemplated, presents numerous features of novelty.

One feature is foundin the' form or arrangement of the grippers with relation tothe other-parts of the machine to lay the upper substantially flat upon the top tace of the projecting edge of the sole, to efect stretching of the upper. comprises a jaw which is the gripping and pulling, a jaw yieldingly moved toward the stationary yaw and a shoe support that is moved simultaneously with the movable jaw but in the opposite direction to effect the stretching Qt the upper. The first mentioned jaw is adjustablev and' by .varying its relation to the shoe 'support the length 'or' extent of the pull can be varied.

A further feature consists in provision for automatically starting the .fastening device stretch the upupon said proand means for se-A VThis arrangement' stationary duringl to lstarting` means adapted to clutch the driver anc the tack feeder. It is contemplated that the upper which is lasted and fastened by this machine shall subsequently be further fastened by a seam located in the angle between the side of the shoe and the outturned flange, and with this in view the presser is located to crease the upper into the said angle and hold it there while the tack is being driven so'that the tack fastens the upper with enough stock inside the tacking line to enable the line of stitches to be run without `further stretching the upper.

Another characteristic of importance is that while the upperis pulled substantially the same distance'at each operation of the grippers it is not tacked when and where it is being pulled but the tacker is located between th'e last driven tack and the grip- -pers and fastens the upper at a point where it has had opportunity to sag back slightly if it has been pulled too tight. This arrangement provides that the tcnsioniunder which the upper is.fastened shall be approximately equal at dilierent parts of the shoe.

These and other features of the invention, including certain details of construction and combinations of parts, will appear more fully in connection with the following dcscription of a machine embodying the invention in the best form now known to mc.

Figure 1 a perspective View of the ma.-

chine which will be described. for the purpose of explaining my invention, although it is to be understood that there is implied, as to the protection sought, no limitation to this or to a similar embodiment of my invention; Fig. 2 is a detail showing the parts'in the act ot' gripping: lfig. 3 is a detail showing the parts in the act of pulling; Fig. 4 is a detail showing the part-s in the :1ct of raising thc nozzle to Start the tacker.

' The frame of the machine com prises a post v2 which may advantageously extend to the floor and support the fulcrum of a starting treadle not shown, and a head 3 which supports the taeker and associated parts and the grippers. The grippers include jaws 5 and 6 having horizontal gripping faces and vertical shanks 7 and 8 which are guided between the front bracketV 9 of the head and a cap 10 which is adjustably held thereon '10 upon which the head 12 of the shank rests, and this altitude relativel to the work rest determines, as will later explained, the extent of the upper` pulling movements of the machine;

The shank 8 of j aw 6 is extended above the lug 14 and pivoted to a lever 20 fulcrumed on .the head Vof the machine and having in its rear end an eye throughwhich passes a vertical rod 22. The ro has a yoke on its lower end by. which Ait is secured to a lever 25 pivoted at the rear at 26 and e011 nected by a link 28 with an eccentric -pin o n the shaft 30 adapted to-be clutched to a continuously running pulley 33 by actuation of the treadle rod 32. The'rod 22 has an adjustable nut 34-abovethe lever 20 by which the position of the jaw 6 can be changed to cause it to open more or less. In practice it is not necessary to make thejaws 'open widely because lthe stock Ais not necessarily withdrawn from theml and reinserted for each operation of the machine. but' ma be only released to .permit it to fed a ong lengthwise of its edge between the jaws. A spring 35 surrounds the rod 22 and rests upon an adjustable collar 36 on the rod. It is through this spring that the lever 20 is rocked to close the jaw 6'011 the upper when the rod is raised, and the spring is compressed to increase the grip after the jaws have come together.

The lever 25 has a threaded eye in its front end in which a work rest stem 40 is threaded and locked by a nut 4l. This stem has a head on which a work plate 42 is pivoted to have a limited rocking movement. This work plate has a sole engaginor face that extends underthe grippers and also back thereof, to sustain the work under the tacker nozzle 45 and through the work to lift the nozzle for starting the driver.

The tacker nozzle is' movable vertically with aslide 50 to the upper end of which is pivoted the block 52 located lunder the front end of `a horizontal lever 54. This 'lever is fulcrumed on a vertical lever 55 pivoted to the head at 56 and having a roll in its upper end that stands in a groove of a .is to be. driven. The

Yvo

the springll to close the clutch and start the tacker when the horizontal lever is tipped to disengage its heel from the clutch lever. The contact of the block 52 with lever 54 for this purpose is made by the adjustable stop screw 65. The nozzleshould be located above the gripping plane in order not to interfere with the manipulation of the shoe. The grip,- pers are accordingly made vertically movable together, under the upward pressure of the work support transmitted through the shoe stock until the shoe. stock engages and lifts the nozzle far enough to trip' the driver.' To this end the shank 7 as well as the shank 8 is movable vertically between the bracket 9 and the cap 10 as appears from the raised position ofthe head 12in FiU. 4. A blade 65 secured to the nozzle exten s downwardly to thelower face thereof in a position to press or crease the Aupper into the angle between the side of the last and the top face of the sole adjacent to the int where the tack v nal upward movement of the shoe with the grippers for engaging the nozzle gives this blade'a final thrust irto the angle after the pulling of the upper has been completed. This blade rves as a side rest for the llast or shoe. The shaft 60 carries on its front end the disk 68 having an eccentric stud that stands in the grooved block 70 fast on the driver bar 72. The tacks are fed from any convenient source such as the raceway 74.

In the useof the machine the upper materials and the Asole are assembled upon the last as is usual in making this type of Shoes, the upper materials usually, although not necessarily, having been molded at the toe and heel to-give them the shape of the last and to form the outturned flange. The shoe is then presented as shown in Fig. 2 with the sole resting on the work table 4-2 and the flange of the upper between the gripper jaws 5 and 6 as in Fig. 2. The treadle is depressed to actuate the clutch rod 32 whereupon the lever 25 begins to rise, and its movement is transmitted yieldingly through the' spring 35 and reversed in direction b v the lever 20 to depress the jaw 6 after which the spring 35 takes up the rest of the movement while it tightens the grip on the stock. The rise of the lever 25 also raises the work plate and the shoe, forcing.

the last upwardly into the gripped upper as in Fig. 3 until the top face of the sole edge engages the lower face of jaw 5. In these movements the blade 65 has pressed the upper against the side of the last and down in the angle adjacent to; the Lacking pmt. Now the gripper jaws themselves are ifted iisV to permit the shoe to engage and raise'the nozzle and cause vthe tripping'of the driver clutch after 'which th'e fastening taclc is in serted and the. moving parts return to starting position. The'. operator can-feed'the shoe along to the next grippingpoint' and' the operation' 'will -berepeated until the lasting is completed step by step, or, by removing :his foot fromV the starting treadle, he-

lo-can'bri'n-g the machine to rest'at'any time with 'the parts in' any position.- The pur-- pose of the several adjustments will be clear from the description thereof.

I have herein described and villustrated a taclcer as the mechanism for fastening the upper. and in many ofthe 4claims the term tacker Ais employed to designate the fasten ing mechanism as an :elementof the combi# nation."
