r sa'rns ADJUSTABLE DOUBLE-BURNER TOOL-HEATER.

Application filed March 27, 1915.

T0 aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALVADER D. HORNE, residing at Haverhill, in the county ofEssex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Double-Burner Tool-Heaters, of which the following is a specification.

In the art of manufacturing shoes, edge setting machines have come into use which are provided with reversible burnishing irons consisting of a shank and two diverging irons, one for setting the sole edge and the other usually for the heel setting operation. In order to keep the iron in use at the proper temperature, a gas flame burner is usuallyprovided to direct a flame on the back of the tool thatis being used, the other tool beingout of the range of the heating flame when not in use. This manner of heating the tool is objectionable in that when it is necessary to turn the tool around to bring the other iron into operative position,

much time is lostbefore the other iron is heated up to its proper burnishing temperature.

It-is therefore theprincipal object of my present invention to provide a burner that will give a double-flame, one flame of which being constantly directed against the tool that is to the front and in use, while the:

other flame may be kept directed against the rear or idle tool to maintainitat the de-- sired temperature so that it can be instantly used when brought into operative position,

means being provided whereby the flames can be relatively adjusted or regulated to give the same degree of heat or different degrees of heat as may be required to maintain a definite even temperature in both tools, while the edge setting operations are being performed.

The invention therefore resides in those novel features of construction, combination and arrangement, all of which will be first fully described, then be specifically-pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a part of an edge setting machine embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a detail elevation view of the burner attachment, per 86. Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 4;. Fig.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 17,357. ing, in which like numerals of reference designate like parts in all of the figures, 1 represents the edge setting machine, which may be of any approved type or construction as,

for instance, the Rossmoyer edge setting machine, as it is known in the trade, and this machine includes the support 2 for the burnishing tool in which the shank 3 of the tool is reversibly mounted, the head 4 of the tool having the diverging burnishing tools proper 5 and 6 attached thereto in the usual manner. I I i I 7 is the usual rest and 8 is the usual gas supply pipe that delivers into a T 9 from which the lateral branches to each side of the machine (when the machine is a double one) are extended. Each lateral branch includes a cutoff valve 10, and a coupling 11 by means of which the burner proper is secured to the lateral pipe. 2 r

The burner proper, which constitutes the essential part of present invention, consists of a pipe 12 that is coupled at 11 tothe lateral pipe and delivers into a valve 13 to register with the through port 14, the latter also registering with the outlet burner pipe 15 that is secured in the valve shell or cas-- ing 13 and extends to a position in proximity to the front burnishing-tool so that its discharge end '16 will direct a flame against the rear of the front tool, be it 5 or 6, ac-

cordingly as to which 'ofthe tools '5 or 6 is in use. p i

The valve 13, it Willbe noticed, has a vertical duct 18-23 that merges with the cock ing, soldering or any other well known man' ner. The auxiliary pipe 24. extends forwardly and'has'its front end turned back, as at 25 to direct a flame on the back face of the rear or idle burnishing tool. The cook 19 has an elongated recess 20 to cooperate with the stop 21 whereby the turning movement of the cook 19 may be limited to OE and on positions. 7

In the practical use of my invention, it will be observed, that flames may be kept directed on both the active and the inactive tool, or cut off from the inactive tool, and

the relative heating intensity of the two I can turn ofl the auxiliary burner section and save thatmuch gas.

In the art as heretofore practised with the single burner, the difficulty is that both ironscould not be kept at the proper heat; one iron would get too cold, while the other would get too hot. This trouble is overcome by the use of my invention and the operator is therefore enabled to do more work and better work in less time, because he can adjust the burner to heat each iron correctly and keep the irons atthe proper'temp'erature while working with the machine. Again,

' with the old style single flame burner, the

operator must handle his work twice in order to accomplish good results, whereas with the use of my invention he can burnish the forepart of the edge and the shank while he has the shoe in his hands, thus handling his Ivpjrkbut once and thereby saving time and a or.

From the foregoing taken in connection the gas from said inlet pipe tos'aid main with theaccompanying drawing, it is thought the complete constructiomoperation and advantages of my invention will be readily understood by those skilled in the art to which it relates. I

What I claim is: t

1. The combination with the rotatable tool head of an edge burnishing machine and the pair of burnishing tools divergingly prowith said gas supply pipe, a control cock and a main burner discharge pipe for directing a flame against the front or operative one of the tools, and an auxiliary burner pipe connected with said control cock and arranged with its discharge orifice to direct a flame against the other or inactive tool, said control cock having provisions for shutting Off and regulating the flow of gas through said auxiliary burner pipe substantially as shown 7 and for the purposes described.

3. As a new article of manufacture, a-

heating burner attaolnnent for edge setting machines comprising a cock, a main burner pipe extending from said cock, an auxiliary burner pipe extending from said cock, and

an inlet pipe extending from said cock and adapted to be attached to a source of gas supply, said cock having ducts for conveying and auxiliary burner pipes, said cock having provision for controlling the flow of gas-to one of said burner pipes, all being arranged fsubstantially as shown and for the purposes described.
