LOGATING DEVICE Filed Oct. 15, 1935 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Patented June 8, 1937 PATE 2,082,862 LOCATING DEVICE Lewis F. Weber, New Rochelle, N. Y., assignor to United Shoe Machinery Corporation, Paterson, N. J., a corporation of New Jersey Application0ctober 15, 1935, Serial No. 45,107 I 5 Claims. (01. 33-480) This invention relates to a device for use in locating two articles in predetermined superposed relation and is herein illustrated as embodied in a device for locating a template on a sole blank preparatory to passing the template and blank through a splitting machine.
In themanufacture of certain kinds of shoes, it is customary to split the sole blank by means of a template and a splitting machine in such manner as to produce an insole having an. opening in its forepart and an outsole having in its forepart a corresponding projection. Hitherto, in assembling a template and 'a sole blank, the operator has depended upon his skill to locate the two articles in proper superposed relation. The object of the present invention is to provide a locating device by the use of which the proper location of two articles, such as a template and a sole blank, with respect to each other may be readily and accurately accomplished. According to one feature of the present invention, a'base plate adaptedto receive the superposed articles carries two edge gages located one abovethe other and adjustable with respect to a each other in a path lengthwise of the plate, and
two other edgegages located one above the other adjustable with respect to each other in a path crosswise of the plate. In the illustrated device, the two first-named gages have re-entrant work- 'engagingfaces to receive respectively the toe portion of the sole blank and the toe portion of the template; and the two last-named gages have 'salientwork-engaging faces to engage respectively the edge of the shank portion of the sole and the edge of the shank portion of the template.
These and other features of the invention will be described asembodied in an illustrated device and pointed out in the appended claims.
Referring tothe accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 'is[ aq'longitudinal medial section of a splitting machine specially adapted to have passed through it a superposed blank and template;
I Fig. 2 is a perspective of a locating device in which the present invention is embodied, the
- bracket upon which it is mounted having been omitted;
Fig. 3 is a plan of the device, portions of a sole anda template being shown in place;
Fig. 4 is a section on the line IV-IV of Fig. 3;
and
Fig. 5 is a section on the line VV of Fig. 3.
The machine of Fig. .1 comprises a stationary knife, an upper vertically adjustable gage roll II and a lower yieldingly mounted feed roll [3, both rolls being driven to advance the Work to the knife. In order to hold a superposed template and sole from movement with respect to each other during their passage through the machine, a pair of presser rolls I 5, I! are provided, the shaft of the roll 15 havingbearings in a pivoted member 19 which is normally held down in the position shownby a spring 2!. After a sole and template have been assembled in proper superposed relation, atreadle is depressed to swing up 'the presser roll I 5 from the other roll I 'i'sothat the sole and template may be thrust between the rolls. The treadle is then released, and the sole and the template are pushed forward until their leading ends are engaged by the rolls H, l 3. The machine thus briefly described above forms the subjectmatter of prior application Serial No. 7 38,325, filed August 3, 1934, in my name.
The device shown in the remaining figures is specially designed for superposin'g upon a sole blank a template so that, when such blank and template are passed through the splitting machine, the blank is split to produce aninsole having an opening in its forepartand an outsole having a corresponding projection. The device comprises a base plate 23 to'receive a sole blank I00 and a template ZEIG- in superposed relation. The toe end of the sole blank is engaged by a gage 25 having a re-entrant substantially V shaped workengaging face, said gage beingslidable lengthwise of the plate on the plate 23 in a guideway formed in the under side of a gage 2Thaving a re-entrant substantially V-shapedwork-engaging face which receives thetoe end of the template. Located to engage one'edge of the sole blank in the shank portion thereof is a gage 29 having a salient Workengaging face, said gage being slidable on the base plate 23 in a guideway formed onthe under side of a similar gage 3! which is fastened to the base plate by screws 33. This last-named gage engages the edge of the template in the shank portion thereof. A short lever pivoted at one end at 31 to the underside of the base plate 23 has at the otherend a stud 39 which extends above the upper surface of thebase plate a distance slightly lessthan the thickness of the sole blank. A tension spring 4! attached at one end to a pin 43 driven into the under side of the plate, and at the other end to the head of a screw 44 in the lever, urges the lever to swing clockwise, as viewed in Fig. 3, about its pivot 31. A handle in the form of a pin 45 driven into the lever 35 may be employed to swing the lever in opposition to the force of the spring.
Assuming that the various gages have been adjusted in a manner presently to be described into the positions shown, the device is operated as follows. The lever 35 is swung out about its pivot 31, a sole blank lllllis placed on the base plate 23 and urged forward until its toe portion engages the gage 25, and the lever 35 is released. Thereupon the spring 4| swings the lever into the position shown in Fig. 3 in which the stud 39 engages one edge of the sole. and holds the opposite edge against the shank gage 29. In this way, the sole is located in predetermined position on the base plate. The operator then places the template 299 on the sole with its toe portion against the gage 21 and the edge of its shank portion against the gage 3 l. After the sole blank and the template have thus been located in the desired superposed relation, they are removed and presented to the splitting machine in the manner which has been described.
The template is commonly slightly larger in outline than the sole blank so as to make sure that the sole blank will be properly supported during the splitting operation. In order to take care of this condition, as well as to accommodate sole blanks and templates of different styles and sizes, provision is made for adjusting the gages. The toe gage 21 for the template 290 is adjustably fastened to the base plate by screws 41 which pass through elongated slots 49 in the gage and are threaded into the plate. The toe gage 25 for the sole blank I99 may be adjusted lengthwise of the plate by turning a small handle 5| having a conical hub I5l which is received in a conical opening in an angular bracket 53 having a downwardly extending arm fastened to the rear edge of the plate 23 by a screw 55. The hub l5l of the handle 5| has a cylindrical socket to receive a short sleeve 56; and a screw bolt 52 having a nut 54 on .its lower end, passes through this sleeve, through an elongated opening in the gage 25 and through a bore in the plate 23 to hold the conical hub l5l in the conical opening. It will be noted that there is a recess in the rear portion of the gage 21 into which the horizontal arm of the angular bracket 53 extends. Extend ing down from the under side of the conical hub I5! is a small pin 51 (Fig. 3) the lower end of which is received in a transverse slot 59 in the gage 25. Consequently, when the handle is turned, the gage is adjusted forward or back. A stop screw 60 having a check nut 62 is threaded through the downturned arm of the bracket 53 and engages the rear edge of the. gage 25. The shank gage 29 for the sole is provided with similar adjusting mechanism operated by a handle This handle has a conical hub l6l, a screw 61, a sleeve 68 and a nut 65 serving to hold the conical hub in a conical socket formed in the gage 3|. The screw passes through an elongated opening in the gage 29 so as to permit adjustment of said gage crosswise of the plate 23. A small pin 619 (Fig. 3) extends down from the bottom of the conical hub IBI into a transverse slot 69 in the gage 29.
The base plate 23 (Fig. 4) has fastened to a downwardly projecting lug-on its under side a bracket 1 I, the shape of bracket being such that when it is bolted to the horizontal top of a bench by a bolt which passes through the hole 13, the base plate 23 will be inclined down from its rear toward its forward end, thereby facilitating the placing of the sole blank upon the plate and the template upon the sole blank in the manner which has been described.
Although the invention has been set forth as embodied in a particular device, it should be understood that the invention is not limited in the scope of its application to the particular device which has been shown and described.
