Definitions
- This invention relates to machines for :skiving or trimming flexible material and is illustrated as embodied in a machine particularly suitable for slaving a margin of a cover which projects beyond an edge of a heel to which the cover has been applied.
- the machine in accordance with one feature of the invention, is provided with an 10 anvil for supporting the projecting margin of a flexible cover attached to a heel and with a cooperating rotary tool having on its periphery projections for removing stock from the margin by a series of stock-removing operations which 15 progress toward the edge of the margin.
- the tool is a rotary cutter having teeth with edges which extend continuously across the periphery of the cutter
- the anvil has its sole-engaging surface disposed 2 substantially in tangential arrangement with re-- spect to the path of movement of the edges of said teeth and forms therewith :a V-shaped opening into which the margin of the flexible cover may be introduced to skive the same to a feather 25 edge.
- the cutter In order to prevent the margin of the cover from being sucked or drawn toward the cutter whereby there would be a tendency to cut through or too deeply into the margin, the cutter, in
- teeth each of which has a face which is but slightly undercut, is skewed with respect to the plane of rotation of the cutter and terminates in a sharp edge.
- the abrupt angle between the edges of the teeth and their undercut faces tends to cause said edges to scrape rather than to produce a true wedge cut and thereby to lessen the tendency, which would otherwise exist, for the teeth to bite into the material; and this tendency to bite in is further lessened by the skewing of the teeth whereby a draw scraping cut is produced with a minimum amount of pull on the material;
- the margin of the cover V-shaped opening formed between the path of the scraping teeth and the anvil is provided.
- the cutter is provided with a conical surface adjacent to the ends of the teeth whereby the should be bent toward the anvil as it enters the I I conical surface intersects the undercut faces of the teeth to form inclined edges which engage the margin and bend it progressively toward the anvil.
- The-illustrated machine is provided with a gage for engaging the covered face of the heel as well as with a gage which is shown asiormed integral with the anvil and is constructed and arranged toengage the face beyond which the margin projects, the gages serving to guide the heel as the projecting margin of the cover is fed between the cutter and the :anvil thereby to skive the margin preparatory tointurningthe'same around the edge and upon the uncovered face of the heel.
- the gage which engages the face above which the cover projects is mounted :for angular adjustment about an axis which is arranged substantially parallel with respect to the axis of rotation of the cutter and extends through the bottom of c the V-shaped opening.

- Fig. 8 is a perspective view of a heel the skived margins of the cover of which have been laid upon the breast and the attaching faces of the heel.
- the illustrated machine may be used to .skive or to bevel the projecting margins .20 and 22 of a flexible cover '24 which has "been cemented to a heel .26 preparatory to .inturning such margins upon the breast and the attaching faces .28 and 3D,.respective1y, 0f the .heel.
- the illustrated heel is of the Louis type the breast face 28 of which is sharply curved and terminates in a forwardly extending lip 32.
- the margins 26 and 22 of the cover are skived by a rotary cutter or tool 34 which is constructed and arranged to force the margins 26 and 22 against an anvil 36 and then to bevel the margins by a series of scraping cuts which progress toward the edge of the margin;
- the heel 26 to which the cover 24 has been applied is guided past the cutter 34 for presenting the projecting margins 26, 22 to the same by a gage 38 arranged to engage the covered face .ofthe heel adjacent to the edge beyond which the margin of the cover projects and a gage 46 illustrated as formed integral with the anvil 36 and arranged to engage the heel face, beyond which the margin to be skived projects, adjacent tosuch edge.
- the cutter or tool 34 of the illustrated ma- 7 chine is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced teeth 56 each of which is provided with a face 56 (Fig. '7) having a small angle of top rake.
- the face is also skewed with respect I to the plane ofrotation of the cutter and terand, as above stated, are suitably undercut to force the margin positioned in the V-slrraped opening 66 against the relatively flat portion ,62 of the anvil 36 toreduce such margin toa feather edge.
- the axial extent of the edge 66 of each of the teeth 56 is greater than the maximum lengthwise feed of the margin during the interval required to make three successive cuts in order to insure that the cuts shall overlap each other and to provide a bevel which is of substantially uniform thickness throughout the length of the margin.
- scraping cutter as used herein is intended to define a cutter which may trim by a true scraping action or which may trim partly by scraping action and partly by incisive penetration. It has been found preferable to provide a cutter the cutting face of which has an angle 4 of top rake of a magnitude sufficient to have a slight repellent effect upon the. cover margin thereby to insure that there is no tendency for the cutter to suck up such margin.
- the forward part 16 (Fig. 6) of the cover-supporting face 64 of the anvil 36 is curved away from the cutter 34, and the cutter includes a conical face 12, the opposing faces 16 and '12 forming a throat or recess 74 (Fig. 6) which tapers in the general direction of the axis of rotation of the cutter and toward the V-shaped opening 66.
- vIt is desirable to have the margin in close proximity to the supporting face 64 of the anvil 34 as the edges 66 force the margin against the anvil and skive the margin:
- the conical surface 12 of the cutter 34 is provided with a plurality of beating edges 16 which are shown as continuations of the cutting edges 66.
- Such an arrangement is especially useful when skiving the margins 22 of the cover projecting above the attaching face 36 (Fig. 4) of the heel since such margins when first presented to the machine are disposed at a substantial angle to the cover-supporting face 64 of the anvil 36.
- the projecting margin 26 has a tendency to bend toward the breast face 28 of the heel (Fig. 5) and in skiving such margin the forward surface 16 of the anvil 36 which is curved in the direction of feed progressively straightens out the margin as it is fed into the throat l4 and into the V- shaped opening 66 (Fig. 2). 1
- anvil 36 which opposes the leading part of the edge 66 is slightly curved away from the cutter to provide a notch '58 (Fig. 6). Moreover, the leading portion of each of the edges 66 is rounded off to avoid the forming of a corner which has a tendency to dig into the margin, especially if such margin has not been beaten against the anvil, and also to facilitate the feeding of the margin into the V-shaped opening 66. It will be noted that by providing skewed edges 66 a draw out is produced and. such an arrangement obviates the excessive tensioning of the cover margin by the cutter 34. Moreover, by skewing the edges 66 the cover margin is automatically fed past the cutter 34 due to the thrust of the edges 66 in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of thecutter. For
- a heel-engaging face 84 (Fig. 1) of fiat construction to brace the heel as it is moved past the cutter 34.
- the forward part of the heel-engaging edge 86 of the gage 46 (Fig. 6) curves away from the cutter 34 in order to insure that, as the heel is moved past the cutter.34, it will be supported by such edge.
- the edge 86 may, therefore, be said to be U-shaped or outcurved in two directions disposed at substantial angles to each other. Y.
- the anvil 36 may be adjusted about an axis which is disposed in substantially parallel relation with the axis of rotation of the cutter 34 and which passes through the bottom of the V-shaped opening 14. Such adjustment may be quickly effected by providing the anvil 35 with a depending flange 86 (Figs. 1 and 2) shaped for adjustment along an arcuate guideway 88 of a housing 90 upon releasing a clamp screw 92 which is in threaded relation with the anvil 36 andis provided with an enlarged head arranged for engagement with the housing.
- a carrier portion 94 of the gage 38 may be adjusted circumferentially of the cutter 34 along a guideway 96 (Fig. 1) and maybe clamped to the housing 90 by a screw 98 which is in threaded relation with the housing 90 and is of suitable size to pass through a slot mu (Fig. 1) in the carrier portion 94.
- Adjustment of the gage 38 toward and away from the axis of rotation of the cutter may be carried out by turning a screw I02 which is in threaded relation with the carrier portion 94 and limits the outward swinging movement of an offset portion I04 of the gage 38 under pressure of a strong spring 16.
- a look nut I08 mounted upon the screw Hi2 secures the screw in adjusted position upon the carrier portion 94.

Renewed July 15, 1935 43 Claims.
This invention relates to machines for :skiving or trimming flexible material and is illustrated as embodied in a machine particularly suitable for slaving a margin of a cover which projects beyond an edge of a heel to which the cover has been applied.
In order to perform this and other skiving operations the machine, in accordance with one feature of the invention, is provided with an 10 anvil for supporting the projecting margin of a flexible cover attached to a heel and with a cooperating rotary tool having on its periphery projections for removing stock from the margin by a series of stock-removing operations which 15 progress toward the edge of the margin. In the illustrated construction, the tool is a rotary cutter having teeth with edges which extend continuously across the periphery of the cutter, and the anvil has its sole-engaging surface disposed 2 substantially in tangential arrangement with re-- spect to the path of movement of the edges of said teeth and forms therewith :a V-shaped opening into which the margin of the flexible cover may be introduced to skive the same to a feather 25 edge.
In order to prevent the margin of the cover from being sucked or drawn toward the cutter whereby there would be a tendency to cut through or too deeply into the margin, the cutter, in
35 accordance with another feature of the invention, is provided with teeth each of which has a face which is but slightly undercut, is skewed with respect to the plane of rotation of the cutter and terminates in a sharp edge. The abrupt angle between the edges of the teeth and their undercut faces tends to cause said edges to scrape rather than to produce a true wedge cut and thereby to lessen the tendency, which would otherwise exist, for the teeth to bite into the material; and this tendency to bite in is further lessened by the skewing of the teeth whereby a draw scraping cut is produced with a minimum amount of pull on the material;
It is desirable that the margin of the cover V-shaped opening formed between the path of the scraping teeth and the anvil. To this end in accordance with another feature-of the invention there is provided a surface which forms with an 50' opposed surface of the anvil a throat for facilitating the feeding of the margin into the V- shaped opening. In the illustrated construction the cutter is provided with a conical surface adjacent to the ends of the teeth whereby the should be bent toward the anvil as it enters the I I conical surface intersects the undercut faces of the teeth to form inclined edges which engage the margin and bend it progressively toward the anvil.
The-illustrated machine is provided with a gage for engaging the covered face of the heel as well as with a gage which is shown asiormed integral with the anvil and is constructed and arranged toengage the face beyond which the margin projects, the gages serving to guide the heel as the projecting margin of the cover is fed between the cutter and the :anvil thereby to skive the margin preparatory tointurningthe'same around the edge and upon the uncovered face of the heel. In :order to vary the angle of the :skive and in accordance with another feature of the invention 5 the gage which engages the face above which the cover projects is mounted :for angular adjustment about an axis which is arranged substantially parallel with respect to the axis of rotation of the cutter and extends through the bottom of c the V-shaped opening.
These and other features of the invention, including certain details of construction and combinations of parts, will be described as embodied in an illustrated machine and pointed out in the appended claims.

The illustrated machine may be used to .skive or to bevel the projecting margins .20 and 22 of a flexible cover '24 which has "been cemented to a heel .26 preparatory to .inturning such margins upon the breast and the attaching faces .28 and 3D,.respective1y, 0f the .heel. The illustrated heel is of the Louis type the breast face 28 of which is sharply curved and terminates in a forwardly extending lip 32.
The margins 26 and 22 of the cover are skived by a rotary cutter or tool 34 which is constructed and arranged to force the margins 26 and 22 against an anvil 36 and then to bevel the margins by a series of scraping cuts which progress toward the edge of the margin; The heel 26 to which the cover 24 has been applied is guided past the cutter 34 for presenting the projecting margins 26, 22 to the same by a gage 38 arranged to engage the covered face .ofthe heel adjacent to the edge beyond which the margin of the cover projects and a gage 46 illustrated as formed integral with the anvil 36 and arranged to engage the heel face, beyond which the margin to be skived projects, adjacent tosuch edge. 1
The cutter or tool 34 is forced by a-nut42 (Fig. 2) againsta flange 44 (Fig. 1) of a shaft 46 which is journaled in a pair of spaced bearings 48 of a standard 56. Power is supplied to the shaft 46 by a belt 52 arranged in driving relation witha pulley 54 which is keyed to the shaft 46.
In trimming fibrous material such for instance as leather by the use of a cutter provided with sharp cutting edges having a large angle of undercut or top rake it has been found that the cutter has a tendency to suck the leather and therefore to out completely through the same at a steep angle to the plane of the material. When such a cutter is used it is difiicult to control the bevel to which the margin is trimmed. Accordingly, the cutter or tool 34 of the illustrated ma- 7 chine is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced teeth 56 each of which is provided with a face 56 (Fig. '7) having a small angle of top rake. The face is also skewed with respect I to the plane ofrotation of the cutter and terand, as above stated, are suitably undercut to force the margin positioned in the V-slrraped opening 66 against the relatively flat portion ,62 of the anvil 36 toreduce such margin toa feather edge. The axial extent of the edge 66 of each of the teeth 56 is greater than the maximum lengthwise feed of the margin during the interval required to make three successive cuts in order to insure that the cuts shall overlap each other and to provide a bevel which is of substantially uniform thickness throughout the length of the margin.
The factor of penetration of the edge 66-should be less than that required to suck up the cover margin as above described, and the factor of scrape should not be so great as to tear the margin which is folded over the rim ofthe attaching face or one of the breast edges of the heel. The term scraping cutter as used herein is intended to define a cutter which may trim by a true scraping action or which may trim partly by scraping action and partly by incisive penetration. It has been found preferable to provide a cutter the cutting face of which has an angle 4 of top rake of a magnitude sufficient to have a slight repellent effect upon the. cover margin thereby to insure that there is no tendency for the cutter to suck up such margin.
To provide for feeding the margin into the V- shaped opening 66 the forward part 16 (Fig. 6) of the cover-supporting face 64 of the anvil 36 is curved away from the cutter 34, and the cutter includes a conical face 12, the opposing faces 16 and '12 forming a throat or recess 74 (Fig. 6) which tapers in the general direction of the axis of rotation of the cutter and toward the V-shaped opening 66.
vIt is desirable to have the margin in close proximity to the supporting face 64 of the anvil 34 as the edges 66 force the margin against the anvil and skive the margin: With this in view the conical surface 12 of the cutter 34 is provided with a plurality of beating edges 16 which are shown as continuations of the cutting edges 66. Such an arrangement is especially useful when skiving the margins 22 of the cover projecting above the attaching face 36 (Fig. 4) of the heel since such margins when first presented to the machine are disposed at a substantial angle to the cover-supporting face 64 of the anvil 36. The projecting margin 26 has a tendency to bend toward the breast face 28 of the heel (Fig. 5) and in skiving such margin the forward surface 16 of the anvil 36 which is curved in the direction of feed progressively straightens out the margin as it is fed into the throat l4 and into the V- shaped opening 66 (Fig. 2). 1
In order to facilitate the feeding of the margin into the V-shaped opening 66 the portion of the;
the purpose of further assisting the operator in presenting the margin to the cutter 34 without such margin being knocked away by'the cutter as it is first presented thereto, it has been found advantageous to remove every fourth tooth.
In order to permit the heel to be swung without interference during the skiving of the margins 26 of the cover which project beyond the the heel from engaging the cutter 34 is provided with a heel-engaging face 84 (Fig. 1) of fiat construction to brace the heel as it is moved past the cutter 34. It will be noted that the forward part of the heel-engaging edge 86 of the gage 46 (Fig. 6) curves away from the cutter 34 in order to insure that, as the heel is moved past the cutter.34, it will be supported by such edge. The edge 86 may, therefore, be said to be U-shaped or outcurved in two directions disposed at substantial angles to each other. Y.
In order to vary the angle of the bevel formed on the margins, the anvil 36 may be adjusted about an axis which is disposed in substantially parallel relation with the axis of rotation of the cutter 34 and which passes through the bottom of the V-shaped opening 14. Such adjustment may be quickly effected by providing the anvil 35 with a depending flange 86 (Figs. 1 and 2) shaped for adjustment along an arcuate guideway 88 of a housing 90 upon releasing a clamp screw 92 which is in threaded relation with the anvil 36 andis provided with an enlarged head arranged for engagement with the housing.
To vary the space formed between the gages 38, 40 a carrier portion 94 of the gage 38 may be adjusted circumferentially of the cutter 34 along a guideway 96 (Fig. 1) and maybe clamped to the housing 90 by a screw 98 which is in threaded relation with the housing 90 and is of suitable size to pass through a slot mu (Fig. 1) in the carrier portion 94. Adjustment of the gage 38 toward and away from the axis of rotation of the cutter may be carried out by turning a screw I02 which is in threaded relation with the carrier portion 94 and limits the outward swinging movement of an offset portion I04 of the gage 38 under pressure of a strong spring 16. A look nut I08 mounted upon the screw Hi2 secures the screw in adjusted position upon the carrier portion 94. It is desirable to adjust both gages 38, 40 relatively to the cutter 34 in. order to bring the anvil 36 into substantially tangential relation with respect to the path of movement of the edges 60 of the cutter. Accordingly the housing 90 is provided with a lug H (Fig. 1) having a tongue I 12 mounted for sliding adjustment along a guideway of the standard 51!. The housing 90 may be adjusted relatively to the cutter 34by releasing a pair of clamp screws H4 and then turning an adjusting screw H6. When the proper adjustment has been made the clamp screws H4 are turned to clamp the housing 90 to the standard 50. A spring I 18 carried by the screw H6 facilitates the fine adjustment of the housing 90 relatively to the standard 50 since it prevents movement between the housing 90 and the main frame 50 due to backlash of the screw H6.
The housing 90 includes a front plate H20 (Fig. 2) which is formed integral with a suctionpipe l2! for removing chips and dustresulting from the skiving of the projecting margins of covers trimmed in the machine.
In order to trim the projecting margins 2!! the operator rests the side and breast faces of the heel against the gages 38 and 40, respectively, as illustrated in Fig. 4. The heel is then moved from right to left (Fig. 1). As the cover margin is moved into the throat 14 the beating edges 16 of the cutter 34 straighten out the margin and force the same toward the cover supporting face 64 of the anvil 36. The cover is then fed into the V- shaped opening 66 to cause the edges 6|] to skive material from the margin by a series of draw scraping cuts progressing toward the edge of the margin. As above stated, in skiving the cover margins which project beyond the breast of the heel the forward curved portion of the anvil 36 directs the margins into the V.-shaped opening 66.
Although the invention has been set forth vided with a rotary tool having on its periphery stock removing projections of a particular shape, it should be understood that the invention is not limited in the scope of its application to the particular use or the particular tool which have ,5 been described.
