IMPROVEMENT IN DEVICES FOR FASTENING THE ENDS 0F SHOE-BINDING STRIPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 134,763, dated January 14, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES E. MQRRILL, of Deering, in the county of Cumberland and State of 'Maine, have invented a new and useful Device for Fastening the Ends of Shoe Binding Strips; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 isa side elevation; Fig. 2, side elevation of the hammer, showing how it is raised to strike; and Fig. 3, same, showing position of parts When hammer has descended. Fig. 4 shows a side elevation of the hammer or poundin g face 8 and the method of securing the same.

Same letters show like parts.

My invention consists of a combination of devices to press or stamp together the chamfered or beveled ends of strips of leather used for shoe-bindings; and in the method or process I have invented for manufacturing shoebindings' it is used after the skin is cutand striped, and the ends of the wide strips chamfered or beveled 05 by another machine not herein shown.

This invention consists of a table, A, with a base, B. Upon the table or stand is the bedpiece a, having the jaws b and pivot 0. Into these jaws is set the hammer d; the face of the hammer is to strike on the bed-piece at e. The face of the hammer when not raised is kept pressed down on the bed-piece by the spring f, which also gives force to the blow of the hammer when raised and then set free or let go. 9 is a projecting lip on the end of the hammer to pass under the shoulder h of the arm i. jis a 'treadle, to which is connected the arm i, at 70.

treadle j, so that after a blow of the hammer is struck the shoulder on the upper end of the Z is a spring to throw out the At every operation of the hammer two of the united and cemented points of the binding are placed under it and receive the requisite pressure or blow. The arm 2' is pivoted, as described,

at k. A guide, m, throws off and keeps 0d the arm 13 whenit disengages from the lip 9, so as to allow the arm z to pass up over the lip 'g' freely in order to prepare for the next blow. The spring it draws up the arm i to its position for this purpose. \Vhen the arm t is drawn down the guide on catches on its upper end the lip h and carries it off a slight. distance from the lip '9, so as to allow the hammer to descend without-obstruction from the lip.

1 claim only the peculiar construction and arrangement of my machine herein shown and described.

Fig. 4. shows the position of the rubber spring t under the hammer s, in order to enable said hammer to accommodate itself to the surface 6.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The arrangement, upon the table A and base B, of the treadle j, spring f, arm i, spring n, guide m, lip g, shoulder h, and hammer d, as herein set forth, and for the purpose described. CHAS. E. MO'RBILL.
