RECEPTACLE FOR FINISHING-MACHINES.

2' '0' all 10 item it may concern Be it known that I, J OHN F. STANDISH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Winthrop, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain Improvements in Receptacles for Finishing- Machines, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying of a difference incolor. Moreover, shoes of different styles have heels varying widely in shape and require finishing tools of different dimensions and .a consequent adjustment of the means for applying finishing material to the tools.

' To meet such requirements a feature of this invention consists in the provision of means for s0 mountin a receptacle upon a finishing machine that it may beplaced in position or removed with minimum effort and without disturbing other elements of the machine. In the embodiment illustrated this includes a readily separable connection between a movableapplying member mounted in the receptacle and the driving mechanism therefor. Y

Another feature consists in supporting the receptacle for adjustment in a plurality of directions, these adjustments preferably being accomplished while the receptacle is maintained level so the contents shall not be caused to overflow. V

Other features will be made evident by the following description and claims, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings illustrating a single embodiment of the invention, and in which- Figure 1.is a front elevation of m improved receptacle associated with a heelburnishing machine. a portion only of which Specification of Letters Patent. Patented S t 28 1920 Application filed December 26, 1917.

Serial No. 208,897.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation looking from the left in Fig. 1, parts being broken away.

At 10. appears a part of the frameof a burnishing machine for shoe heels and the like, thisbeing the particular finishing apparatus 1n connection with which I have chosen to illustrate my invention. J ournaled in the frame is a shaft 12 upon which is fixed a burnishing or finishing tool 14. Projecting from the frame below and parallel to the shaft of the burnishing toolis a horizontal spindle or supporting member 16, having a key-way connected by a key 18 with a hub or bracket 20 in which is a e0rresponding way to receive the key. This permits the bracket to be moved longitudinally of the spindle and prevents it from rotation thereon, the bracket being thus maintained in a fixed angular relation. To clamp the bracket in its adjusted position the hub which receives the spindle is divided, the portions being drawn together by a screw 22 extending through opposite bosses. Projecting rearwardly from the hub is a substantially horizontal arm 24 curved downwardly and outwardly from the machine frame to carry its extremity beyond the end of the spindle 16. In the upper face of the end of this arm is a horizontalway undercut at 26 to receive the dovetailed portion 28 formed at the bottom of a receptacle 30, which, in the present instance, is adapted to contain wax for burnishing and to maintain it in a fluid condition. The outer wall of the way or recess is furnished by a plate 32 overhanging the upper face of the bracket at 34: and secured to said bracket by a screw 36 extending through a vertical slot 38 in the plate. hen this screw is loosened sufficiently to permit the overhang. 3a of the plate to move away from the dovetailed base of the receptacle, the entire plate falls until the top of the slot 38 strikes the screws 36. This brings the portion 34 of the plate below the bottom of the way, allowing the receptacle to be withdrawn from the bracket in the direction of the axis of the spindle 16. To hold the plate 32 against turning upon the securing screw, it has at its lower extremity a slot 43 through which extends a pin 40 fixcd'in a depending portion 42 of the bracket. The slot 43 is of such length that the downward movement of the plate to free the receptacle is not interfered with.

Journaled in the 'wall of the receptacle is ashaft section 4 L held against inwardmove 'ment with respect to the receptacle by an annular flange a6 upon ts outer end.

At the inner end of this shaft section, secured by a screw 4:7, is an applying member in the form of'a wheel 48. The inner face of this wheel contacts with a wall of the receptacle, while it extends far enough above said wall to. permit its periphery to come nto coop'ei'ationwith the burnishing member 14. Its lower portion is immersed withinthe wax or other finishing material in the receptacle. Y The shaft section at is hollow to receive'a second'shaft section 50, the latter having a pin or projection 52 engaging i a recess .54 in the flange :6. In addition to its bearing in the shaft section at the section 50 1s ournaled in an arm-56 of the bracket-20, this arm extending upwardly above the horizontal arm 24. The opening in the arm 56 which furnishes the bearing for the shaft section 50 is in theform of a horizontal slot 58, this allowing the move- 5 ment of adjustment of the receptacle in the way between the walls 26 and The shaft section is held in a longitudinally fixed relation to the arm 5 6 byia collar 60, pinned to theshaft at the outer side of thearm, and by a portion of a universal joint 62 of the gimbal type which is secured to and holds the shaft section 50 against outward movement through the arm 56. By this arrangement of the shaft sections, when the plate 32 is loosened and the receptacle withdrawn from the support the

shaft sections

44 and 50 separate by a rectilinear movement, the section 50 being left supported in theslot in the arm 56;

The wax wheel 48 may be rotated from a suitably driven gear 64, ournaled' upon the frame of the machine, through a longitudi- 'nally movable shaft'66, a second universal joint 68 and a friction connection between the two

universal oints

62 and 68. The

gear G l is sp'lined to the shaft at 9, thus permitting the shaft to bemoved longitudinally while compelling its rotation with the gear. This, ivltll the unlversal olnts, provides for the free adjustment of the receptacle through the movement of its bracket upon the spindle and its own 'HROVQIIIGIUL upon the bracket. The friction connection is shown as including a hollow split shaft s tion '74 projecting from the universal joint 62, into which extends a shaft section 76 fixed-to an element of the universal joint 68. To hold these two sections 7e and 7 6 in proper frictional engagement a ring 78 fled, the sections may slip, thus preventing in gjry to the driving mechanism.

pon the outer extremity of the arm is pivoted at 80 a hood or shield 82 which completely inclosesthe receptacle and also the burnishing member, except at the front where the operator applies the work. T properly position the hood in its angular relation to the parts protected, a screw 8% is threaded through a portion ofthe hood wall and contacts with the machine frame. ll hen the hood is swung outwardly upon its pivot the burnishing member and recep tacle are entirely freed for access by the operator. At this time the receptacle may be removed and a new one, substituted, or it may be adjusted either longitudinally of the .burnishing member upon the spindle 16 or toward and from-said member upon the bracket. In the first-mentionedadjustment the hood moves with the receptacle, the r lation ofthe two elements withrespect one another remaining unchanged. The transverse width of the hood'is sufficient to enable the second adjustment to be made without interfering with the .burnishing tool. For the adjustment of the receptacle upon the bracket the depth of the hood. from front to rear of the machine is also such that the elements do not come into contact. T he hood is recessed at 86 and in the horizontal portion of the wall thus formed is an opening 88 over the top o-f'the receptacle. 'lhroughthis opening the operator may inspect the contents of the receptacle, may take a portion therefrom for use in the work or may insert a freshsupply. I have shown upon the outer end face of the hood 2. gas

pipe 90 secured by

straps

92, 92 and joined to a source of supply by a flexible section 94. The outlet portion of the pipe'extends through the opening 96 in the hood opposite the side of the burnishing'tool, this opening being elongated so that the pipe may be adjusted through the securing straps to properly apply the flame to heat tools of difi'erent diameters. r

hrom what has been said, it will be seen that by loosening the screw 22 the receptacle of this invention may be adjusted into position alongthe spindle'lti to bring the periphery of the wax-applying wheel 48 into coiiperation with the burnishing tool at any desired point longitudinally, while slackening the engagement of the wall 32 with the base of the receptacle permits the latter to be moved toward and fromlthe burnishing tool, to provide for the use of tools of different diameters. The extensible character and universal pivoting of the connections 50 without s aecia'l mani ulation of the driv- 'ing connections and without interference with other portions of the'machine. The section 50 is left supported by the arm 56 in a convenient position for reassembling.
