Application filed June 4,

This invention relates to a wax supplying device for the butter rollers'of shoehnish ing machines, the general object of theinvention'being to provide means operatedby a foot pedal for pressing a block of wax, against the roller, thereby saving time and material and producing much better work than when the "wax is applied by hand.

Another object of the invention is to so construct and arrange the device that it can beattached to any type of shoe finishing machine and when attached. it will be out of the wayjand will occupy but little space. A still further object of the invention is to provide means whereby a new block of wax can be easily and quickly substituted for the old one. a r 1 This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and p in i the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illus'tratedin the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims. In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had i to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in WhiChE-a' t l Figure 1 is a side view showing the inventioninuse. t V

having its ends and bottom open, with the bottom closed by a door 2 which is hingedly connected'wit-h'the rear of the casingand is held in closed position by the thumb nuts 3 on the bolts4 which are connected with the sides of the casing adjacent the front thereof. This door permits a block of wax to be placed in the casing, as will be understood;

The sides of the casing are'each provided with a horizontal slot 5 and eachside may be provided with the openings'fi for exposing portions of the block.

, The topof the casing is provided with the slotted uprights? which slidingly engage depending parts of the bracket 8 which may be bolted to the work shelf B of the finishing machine, the casing being held in adjusted position ,on the bracket by the screws 9 which pass through the slots in the uprights 7.

,A follower plate 10 isfastened to the rear end of the block A by the pin 11 engaging the eye or staple 12at the rear end of the block'and which passes through a hole in the followerplate. A bolt 13 attached to eachside of the follower plate and these bolts pass through the slots 5 so that the follower plate is slidingly supported in the casing. A shaft 14 is journaled in the upstanding ears 15 connectedwith the upperedges of the sides of the casing and an arm 16 is connected to each end of the shaft. The lower ends of these arms are slotted, asshbwn at v17, the bolts 13 passing through these slots.

Anti-fricti0n means 18, in the formof small rolls, may be placed on the bolts to engage the walls of the slots and washers 19 maybe used to space the arms from the sides of thecasing. y

t A sector member 20is connectedqto one end of the shaft and formed with curved guiding tongues 21 on its curvededge to form guiding means for a belt 22 which f has one end connected with one end of the a t Figure 8 is a rear view of the block, with of the covering sheet on the backing nected to a spring 24 which is connected to a wire 25 by an adjusting link 26. the wire being connected to a pedal 27 which is hinged to aYplate 28 which adapted to be fas- A coil spring 29 is arranged on the central part of the shaft 14 and has one end connected with the shaft and the-other to a part of the easing andthis spring tends to hold the parts and this movement of the shaft will swing.

the arm 16 forwardly so that the follower plate will be moved toward the front end: of the casing and thusforce the block of.

wax against the buffer roller 0 soithat the same will besupplied with wax. Whenthe pedal is released, the spring 29 will return the parts to normal position.

An arm 30, having a ratchet slot 31 therein, is pivoted at its rear end to one side of the casing, as shown at 32,,and a spring on the pivot pin tends to hold the arm in lowered position. A pin 34' on one of the arms 16 extends through the slot 31 and this pin will work in the rear part of the slot as the parts are actuated to move the block forwardly. When the block has worn to an extent that will permit the arms16 to moveforwardlya distance where the pin 34will. come below the second notch in-t-he top wall of the slot 31, the spring 33 w ll depress the arm 30 and thus cause the pin 34 to enter this second notch and thus prevent the arms from engaging the rear notch in arm 30. Thus the rearward limit of movement of the arms and the follower plate th is automatically advanced as the front end of the block wears, so that it is not necessary to move the parts the full distance when the block is of little length.

The front end of the door 2 is extended so that it will catch'any wax dropping from the front end of the block due to the heating 0 the block through friction thereof with t e buffer wheel. v

A backing sheet 35 is fastened to the reduced rear end of each block of wax A b means of the threads through holes formed in the backin sheet andhave their frayed ends embedded in the wax. covering sheet 37 is placed over the backing. sheet and this covering sheet ma contain directions for the device.

Figure 9 shows a casing 1' for use with placing the block in The block used in this casing is shown at A, As will be seen, the follower plate'10 is shaped to conform tothe rear end of this block A.

'Figure llshows a form of casing 1" for use'with a buffer C" which has a rounded circumference, and Figure 12 shows the wax block A which. is used with this form of casing.

Figure 13 shows a form of easing 1" used with a buffer C havingv a. flat peri hery and Figure 14 shows the block A" use with this form of casing. Fi ures 11 and 13 show the form ofi follower p ta used with .these casings.

From the foregoing it will be seen that an .pulll the pin 11 from the-eye 12,. the.

arm 30 being first raised by its knob 30' to permit the follower ate and the, sums 16 to'be moved rearwar y, This will permit the old block. to be taken from the casing and a new block substituted therefor. The new block is fastened to the follower plate by the in- 1-1 and then the door 2 is closed. The evice is then. ready for operation again.

It is thought from the'foregoing description that the advanta es and novel features of my inventionv will 'e readil apparent.
