IMPROVEMENT IN'PEG FLOATS OR CUTTERS.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 190,057, dated April 24, 1877; application iiled october 14, 1876.

To all 'whom it may concern.:

Be ,it known that we, Trios. G. MARIS and SAML. M. HART, of Marietta, in the county of Washington and State of Ohio, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Floats or Peg-Gutters; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and

exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making' a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a side view of our float or peg cutter. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the same. Fig. 3 is a front elevation.

This invention relates to devices for removing pegs from boots and shoes; and it consists in the construction and comblnation of the various parts hereinafter fully set forth and. claimed.

A designates the bed-piece to which the operative parts of the device are attached, and B designates an elongated plate rigidly secured thereto. C designates a circumferentially-grooved crank-wheel, having its axis in a post, c, projecting at right angles from the upper part `of the face, of said plate. Said wheel communicates motion by means of an endless band or cord, D, to a pulley, E, which is rigidly attachedto the outside of a Wheel, F, that turns on a pivot-post, G, projecting from the lower part of the face of said plate B. Said wheel F is provided onV its inner face with a circular series of beveled cogs, f, which engage with and turn two beveled cogwheels, H H', that are rigidly secured to two rotating shafts, I l. J designates a tubular lug or block, which surrounds the lower part of post G; and J l J2 designate two perfo rated lugs, which are arranged on diverging lower corners of said plate B, and face inwardly toward post G as a common center or point of convergence for lines drawn through their perforations j j. Said lugs J J1 J2 are made in one piece with plate B, or are rigidly attached thereto, and rotating shafts I I are journaled in the same.

Shaft I carries, at its outer end, a rigidly attached cutter, K, consisting of a blade bent into an oblong shape and socketed in a circular disk, k, on the end of said shaft. One

vside k1 of said cutter is provided with knifebelow with a broad longitudinal opening,l

and tapering in front. In practice said shaft:

sleeve, and shield are inserted into the for- Ward part of a boot or shoe, and said shaft is rotated by means of the devices previously described. Gutter-K then operates through opening: against the pegs on the inside of the boot-sole, while shield L protects the upper leather from injury.

Shaft I is provided with a cutter, N, adapted to remove pegs from the heels of shoes. Said cutter consists of a s1ightly-con vex bar, which is grooved longitudinally, so as to leave two sharp edges, n n. `O designates a cup-shaped shield, arranged above and around said cutter, so as to protect the inside of the counter of the boot or shoe from injury. Said shield O is rigidly attached to the outer end of a sleeve, P, which surrounds said shaft I', and is rigidly attached by its rear end to perforated lug J2. The arrangement and operation of these parts have already been sufliciently described in referring to those designed for removing pegs from the forward part of the sole. The above-described peg-cutting apparatus may be operated either with the boot'or shoe and cutters held downward, or when the same are held upward. The drawings show the device in the latter position; but the former position will generally be found more convenient. If the cutters are held upward the relative vertical locations of the various described devices will be reversed.

What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
