Definitions

  • This invention relates to lasting machines, and is herein illustrated as embodied in a machine for lasting the toe ends of shoes. It is to be understood, however, that in various novel aspects the invention is not limited to toe-lasting machines, but is applicable, for example, to Inachines for lasting the heel ends.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a machine adapted for convenient use by an operator to perform the lasting operation in a speedy and effective manner with but little effort on the operators part.
  • the construction herein shown comprises a wiper carrier provided with toe-lasting wipers and mounted on swinging supports which are located respectively at diierent distances from the shoe and are movable manually to advance and retract the wipers lengthwise of the shoe, together with a treadle arranged to act through one of the supports to swing the carrier and wipers heightwise of the shoe for upwiping the upper and for later pressing its margin upon the insole.
  • an upwardly extending hand lever mounted to swing about a horizontal axis and connected to one.
  • the invention provides novel means for closing the wipers laterally of the shoe in response to movement of the wiper carrier lengthwise of the shoe. As illustrated, such closing movements of the wipers are effected through levers extending laterally of the shoe and fulcrumed on the wiper carrier, the outer ends of the levers being connected by links to wiper holders on which the wipers are mounted and their inner ends being connected toa normally stationary crank arm, so that swinging movements of the levers in directions to close the wipers result from the move- .ment of the wiper carrier.
  • mechanism is provided for preliminarily adjusting the wipers toward or from each other by swinging the normally stationary crank arm.
  • the invention further provides novel means (c1. viz--nn lengthwise of the shoe, so as to permit a further movement of the wipers in the vdirection to relieve their pressure on the margin of the upper before they are retracted from over the shoe bottom.
  • novel means c1. viz--nn lengthwise of the shoe, so as to permit a further movement of the wipers in the vdirection to relieve their pressure on the margin of the upper before they are retracted from over the shoe bottom.
  • the above-mentioned member on the wiper carrier is not xed thereon, but is yieldable upon lateral engagement of the stop member therewith.
  • themachine herein shown is provided with a toe rest movable by a treadle into shoe-clamping position and with a device for locking it in that position, and in one form illustrated the machine has also a heel rest movable by the operator independently of the toe rest into engagement with the heel end of the shoe.

43 Claims.
This invention relates to lasting machines, and is herein illustrated as embodied in a machine for lasting the toe ends of shoes. It is to be understood, however, that in various novel aspects the invention is not limited to toe-lasting machines, but is applicable, for example, to Inachines for lasting the heel ends.
An object of the invention, among others, is to provide a machine adapted for convenient use by an operator to perform the lasting operation in a speedy and effective manner with but little effort on the operators part. To this' end, the construction herein shown comprises a wiper carrier provided with toe-lasting wipers and mounted on swinging supports which are located respectively at diierent distances from the shoe and are movable manually to advance and retract the wipers lengthwise of the shoe, together with a treadle arranged to act through one of the supports to swing the carrier and wipers heightwise of the shoe for upwiping the upper and for later pressing its margin upon the insole. For greater convenience and facility in operating the wiper carrier to advance and retract the wipers, there is provided for this purpose an upwardly extending hand lever mounted to swing about a horizontal axis and connected to one.
arm of another lever the other arm of which serves as one of the swinging supports for the carrier. There is further provided novel means for adjusting the wiper carrier by-swinging it heightwise of the shoe about its connection with that one of its supports which is comparatively near the shoe, thereby ltipping the wipers to positions best adapted for operating on shoes of different kinds.
In accordance with another feature, the invention provides novel means for closing the wipers laterally of the shoe in response to movement of the wiper carrier lengthwise of the shoe. As illustrated, such closing movements of the wipers are effected through levers extending laterally of the shoe and fulcrumed on the wiper carrier, the outer ends of the levers being connected by links to wiper holders on which the wipers are mounted and their inner ends being connected toa normally stationary crank arm, so that swinging movements of the levers in directions to close the wipers result from the move- .ment of the wiper carrier. In the construction shown, moreover, mechanism is provided for preliminarily adjusting the wipers toward or from each other by swinging the normally stationary crank arm.
The invention further provides novel means (c1. viz--nn lengthwise of the shoe, so as to permit a further movement of the wipers in the vdirection to relieve their pressure on the margin of the upper before they are retracted from over the shoe bottom. In order not to interfere with such retractive movement of the wiper carrier and Wipers after the relief of pressure onv the upper, the above-mentioned member on the wiper carrier is not xed thereon, but is yieldable upon lateral engagement of the stop member therewith.
To control the shoe in the lasting operation themachine herein shown is provided with a toe rest movable by a treadle into shoe-clamping position and with a device for locking it in that position, and in one form illustrated the machine has also a heel rest movable by the operator independently of the toe rest into engagement with the heel end of the shoe. Among the features of the invention are further to be recognized novel means for supporting the heel rest in such manner as tofacilitate its movements into and out of operative position, a device arranged to cooperate in a novel manner with such supporting means to lock the heel rest in operative position, and novel means for unlocking the toe rest and the heel rest to permit their return to starting positions. As illustrated, the toe rest and the heel rest, if both are used, or the toe restlalone if the heel rest is omitted, may be unlocked by a treadle specially provided for that purpose or, alternatively, by means controlled by that treadle which the operator uses to impart to the wipers their movement heightwise of the shoe.
The above and other features of the invention, including various novel details of construction and combinations of parts, will now be more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings and thereafter pointed out` in the claims.

With reference first to Figs. 1 to 7, inclusive, the machine comprises a frame 2 on the rear side of which there is secured a bracket 4 having fast thereon a plate 6 provided with three pins 8 arranged to extend through holes in an insole into sockets in the bottom of the forepart of a last to determine the position of the last and shoe relatively to toe-lasting wipers hereinafter described, in accordance with the method disclosed in United States Letters Patent No. 1,674,060, granted on June 19, 1928, upon an application of Arthur F. Pym. The shoe, which as illustrated is one of that type in which the margin of the upper in lasted position lies throughout its width in substantially parallel relation to the bottom of the last, is supported under the forepart by a toe rest I0, more particularly hereinafter described, this toeY rest clamping the last against the ends of the pins 8. The toe rest IIJ is supported upon the upper end of a vertical bar I2 pivotally mounted at its lower end on a bifurcated arm of a lever` I4 fulcrumed on a rod I6 on the frame, the other arm of this lever being connected by a link I8 to a treadle 2t pivoted at 22 on the frame. Above the lever I4 the bar I2 is further controlled by a bifurcated link 24 pivoted on a rod 26 on the frame, this link being substantially parallel to the lever I4 and of substantially the same length as that arm of the lever to which the lower end of the bar I2 is connected. Accordingly depression of the treadle 26 serves to force the toe rest upwardly into clamping engagement with the shoe after the last and shoe have been mounted by the operator on the pins 8. In order to hold the toe rest in operative position there is secured to the treadle 20 a plate 28 provided with a plurality of ratchet teeth 30, and arranged to cooperate with these ratchet teeth is a locking pawl 32 pivotally mounted on a rod 34 on the frame and Ahaving integral therewith an arm 36 connected by a link 38 to a crank arm 39 integral with a treadle 4I! mounted to swing about a shaft 42. A spring 44 connected at one end to the crank arm 39 and at its other end to the frame holds the pawl 32 normally in position to cooperate with the ratchet teeth 30. Upon depression of the treadle 40 the pawl is swung away from the ratchet teeth to release the toe rest and permit it to be returned to its idle position. Such return of the toe rest is eiected by a spring 46 connected at one end to the frame and at the other end to the lever I4. It will be understood that by the action of this spring the treadle 20 is swung upwardly. To limit such upward movement of the treadle and determine the normal position of the toe rest thetreadle carries an adjustable stop or buffer 48 arranged to engage a shoulder 50 on the frame.
For lasting the toe end of the shoe there are provided a pair of wipers 52 supported on a wiper carrier 54. As shown in Fig. '7, these wipers are detachably secured to wiper holders 56 each provided with an upstanding rib 58, these ribs lying in a guideway 50 (Fig. 3) which is formed in a cover plate 62 on the wiper carrier 54 and is curved about an axis located substantially at the meeting point of the edges of the two wipers 52 to guide the wipers for swinging or closing movements laterally of the shoe. The Wiper carrier 54 is mounted for movements lengthwise of the shoe on supports which are located respectively at different distances from the shoe and are mounted to swing lengthwise of the shoe, these supports constituting, in effect, a substantially parallel link arrangement. The support more remote from the shoe comprises an upwardly extending bifurcated arm 64 of a lever 66 mounted toI swing about a rod 68 on the frame, the arm 64 having supported thereon a lever l0 adjustable as hereinafter described about av rod 'I2 on the arm and pivotally connected at one end bymeans of a pin I4 to the wiper carrier. The lever 66 has a second arm 'I6 at an angle to the arm 64 and extending under the wiper carrier toward the portion of the machine where the shoe is positioned, and the arm 'I6 is connected by a link I8 to a shore crank arm fast on a horizontal shaft 82 mounted in a bearing in the frame. Also fast on this shaft is an upwardly extending hand lever 84 comprising an arm 86 pinned to the shaft and an arm 88 adjustably secured to the arm 86. The securing means comprises two bolts 90 and 92 extending through holes in the arm 88 and through slots 94 and 96 in the arm 85 so that the arm 88 may be adjusted upwardly or downwardly to suit the convenience of the operator. The other support for the wiper carrier com prises a link 98 pivotally connected to the carrier in a location under the wiper holders 56 and mounted at its lowerl end, as hereinafter vdescribed, for swinging movements lengthwise of the shoe. It will thus be seen that by swinging movement of the hand lever 84 about its horizontal axis the wiper carrier and the wipers are advanced or retracted lengthwise of the shoe and that these movements of the wipers may be easily effected by the operator by reason of the mounting of the wiper carrier on swinging supports. The hand lever 84 is arranged to be operated by the left hand of the operator who occupies a position substantially at the righthand front corner of the machine (Fig. 1), and is more convenient for use than a horizontally swinging hand lever such as commonly provided heretofore in bed-lasting machines.
The left-hand end of the lever I0 (Fig. 2) is adjustably connected to a, third arm |00 of the lever 66 by a rod |02 which is threaded at one end in a pin |04 swiveled in the bifurcated end of the arm |00 and is rotatable in another pin E06 swiveled in the bifurcated end of the lever 10, the rod having two collars |08 and ||0 fast thereon and engaging iiat faces on the opposite sides of the pin |06. Fast on the upper end of the rod |02 is a crank arm H2 for turning it. It will thus be seen that by turning movement of the rod |02 the lever 10 may be adjusted about its fulcrum pin 12 to raise or lower the outer end of the Wiper carrier, the carrier in such adjusting movement swinging about its pivotal connection with the link 98. In this manner the angular relation of the plane of the wipers 52 to the shoe and last may be varied to determine the amount of pressure applied by the wipers to the margin of the upper over the insole at the eXtreme end of the toe as compared with the pressure applied at the sides of the toe.
The link 90 is pivotally connected at its lower end to a crank arm ||4 fast on the shaft 42 which is mounted to rock in bearings in the frame.-
Also fast on one end of this rock shaft is a double-acting treadle ||6 of substantially the same construction as commonly used heretofore in bed-lasting machines and having arms ||8 and |20 arranged to be controlled respectively by the forepart and the heel of the operators foot. The weight of the wiper carrier and the parts thereon is partially counterbalanced by a spring |22 connected to the link 98 and to the frame. It will thus be seen that by means of the treadle H6 the wiper carrier 54 may be swung upwardly and downwardly about its pivotal connection 14 with the lever 10. By depressing the arm i i8 of the doubleeacting treadle the operator raises the wipers for wiping the upper heightwise of the toe to the edge of the insole, and by depressing the arm |20 the wipers may be thereafter forced downward to press the margin of the upper rmly on the insole. In its idle position the wiper carrier rests on the head of a screw |23 threaded in the frame.
As the wipers are advanced lengthwise of the shoe by the movement of the wiper carrier 54 they are closed about the toe and inwardly over the shoe bottom by mechanism which operates in response to the movement of the wiper carrier. This mechanism comprises two links |24 and |26 (Fig. '7) pivotally connected respectively to the two wiper holders 56 and also pivotally connected respectively to the outer ends oftwo levers |28 and |30 arranged to extend laterally of the shoe and fulcrumed midway between their opposite ends on rods |32 and |34 on the wiper carrier 54. The inner ends of the two levers |28 and |30 are pivotally connected respectively to the opposite ends of an equalizing lever |36 fulcrumed midway between its ends on a pin |38 mounted in the bifurcated end of alink |40 supported on the carrier 54. The link |40 is connected by a link |42 to the upper end of a Ycrank arm |44 which extends upwardly through an opening in the wiper carrier 54 and is fast on a rock shaft |46 mounted in bearings in the frame. Fast on the rear end of the rock shaft |46 is a lever |40 in the bifurcated end of which is mounted a pin E50, and threaded in this pin is the lowerend of a rod |52 which is mounted to turn in a bearing formed in a member |54 (Fig. 4) on the bracket 4. The member |54 has a horizontal stem |56 mounted to turn in the bracket 4 and having on its end a nut |58 to hold it in place. Collars |60 and |62 fast on the rod |52 above and below the member |54 prevent lengthwise movement of the rod. Fast on the upper end of the rod is a crank arm |64 for turning it. It will thus be seen that through the lever |48 the crank arm |44 is held normally stationary, and accordingly as the wiper carrier '54 is advanced lengthwise of the shoe, the levers |28 and |30 are swung in response to such movement of the carrier to impart closing movements to the wipers 52. Conversely, when the wiper carrier is retracted the levers are swung-in directions to open the wipers. By turning the rod |52 the lever |48 may be swung to adjust the wipers as desired toward or from each other through swinging movement of the crank arm |44.
The machine is further so constructed that instead of using the treadle 40 to unlock the toe rest I0 after the operations on the shoe have been completed, the operator may unlock it by use of the double-acting treadle ||6 while his foot is still on this treadle. For this purpose the pawl 32 has integral therewith an arm |66 to which is pivotally connected a downwardly extending link |68 provided at its lower end with an elongated slot |10. In this slot is a pin |12 mounted in the end of a bifurcated extension of the crank arm ||4 to which the previously mentioned link 98 is connected. A lost-motion connection between the double-acting treadle ||6 and the pawl 32 is thus provided, permitting the treadle to be used to raise the wipers for wiping the upper upwardly to the edge of the insole without affecting the pawl. After the wiping of the margin of the upper inwardly over the insole further movement of the treadle in the direction to raise the wipers causes the pin |12 to act through the link |68 to disconnect the vpawl 32 from the ratchet teeth 30 and thus to release the toe rest. This relieves the operator of the necessity of removing his foot from the double-acting treadle prior to release of the toe rest, as would be necessary in order conveniently to depress the treadle 40.
The toe rest l0 is shown in detail in Figs. 5 and 6. The bar 12 Yat its upper end is provided with an upwardly extending stem |14 on which is secured a block |16 by means of a set screw |18. Supported on the upper end of the block |16 is a bearing member |80 having a reduced lower end |82 driven into an opening in the block. The member is provided with a recess |84 of spherical contour in which is supported a ball |86, and mounted on this ball is a shoe-pressing member or block |88 which has a similarly curved recess to receive the upper portion of the ball in a location as near as possible to the shoe. The block |68 is provided with a recess |90 somewhat larger than the member |80, so that the-block may tip in any direction to adjust itself to a right or a left shoe. The upper face |92 of this block is curved in approximate conformity to the curvature of the top of the forepart o1 a shoe supported on the toe rest, and applied tightly over the block is a exible cover comprising a layer of felt |04 and an outer layer of leather |96, both fastened to the block |16 by screws |08. This coverA assists by its frictional engagement with the block |88 in controlling the block and tends by its resiliency to return the block after the latter has been tipped. At opposite sides of the bearing member |80 in the direction of the length of the shoe the block |88, moreover, is arranged to engage two rolls 200 and 202 which are supported on inclined faces 204 and 206 formed on the block |16. These rolls are maintained ncrmally in substantially horizontal positions near the upper ends of the inclined-faces and in contact with the lower face of the block |88 by the pressure of the flexible cover against them. Either roll, however, may be forced downwardly along the corresponding inclined face on the block |16 and may also be tipped more or less by pressure of the block |88 thereon as the block is tipped to adjust itself to a shoe. In such movement the roll is forced farther outward by the inclined face on which it rests and accordingly prevents any looseness in the flexible cover below the block |88. At the same time the other roll moves upwardly and inwardly along the corresponding inclined face in al direction to relax its pressure on the cover and accordingly counteracts any tendency for the cover at that side to be tightened by the tipping of the block |88, thus facilitating the movement of the block. Novel features of this toe rest are not claimed herein,but in Letters Patent No. 2,137,331, granted on November 22, 1938 on an application of P. E. Burby.
The manner of operation of the machine thus far described need be only briefly summarized. The last in the shoe to be operated upon and the insole being formed to receive the pins 8, the operator mounts the last and shoe on these pins and then forces the toe rest I8 up into clamping engagement with the shoe by depression of the treadle 2|). The toe rest is then h-eld in firm clamping engagement with the shoe by the pawl 32 in engagement with the teeth 30 on the treadle. The operator thereafter advances and closes the wipers about the toe by use of the hand lever 84 and raises them to wipe the upper upwardly to the edge of the insole by means of the doubleacting treadle H6. If any adjustment of the wipers toward or from each other is necessary in order that they may properly t the toe of the shoe, such adjustment is effected by use of the hand crank |64. After thus wiping the upper upwardly, the operator further advances and closes the wipers by the hand lever 84 to wipe the margin of the upper inwardly over the insole, and by moving the double-acting treadle reversely forces the wipers down to press the margin of the upper firmly upon the insole. If it is desired to vary relatively the pressures applied to the margin of the upper at the end and the sides of the toe, this may be done by movement of the hand crank |I2. It will be understood that by proper manipulation of the lever 84 and the treadle ||5 the overwiping operation of the wipers may be repeated as many times as desired, and likewise the upwiping operation which precedes the overwiping operation. The margin of the upper may be secured adhesively to the insole in a well-known manner, or may be secured by individual fastenings driven upon a partial r-ectractive movement of the wipers. Having completed the toe-lasting operation, the operator raises the wipers far enough to avoid any outward wipe on the margin of the upper and then retracts them from over the shoe bottom and lowers them to their starting position. The wipers may, if desired, thus be raised far enough to cause the unlocking of the toe rest by the action of the treadle I|6 on the pawl 32, thus releasing the shoe. Alternatively, the operator may unlock the toe rest by use of the treadle 48 after returning the wipers to starting position.
In Figs. 8, 9 and 10, which show certain modifications, parts which are identical with those hereinbefore described are designated by the same reference characters. For use more particularly in operating on welt shoes there is provided a shoe-positioning plate 208 formed to fit the inner face of the insole lip at the end and the sides of the toe, this plate being mounted on the arm 4 in place of the previously mentioned plate 6. It will be understood that this plate de termines the position of the toe end of the shoe and that the shoe is clamped against it by the toe rest I0. To assist in supporting the shoe against lengthwise movement there is further provided a heel rest 2|0 comprising a felt shoeengaging pad 2|2 fastened on a plate 2| 4 which is straight widthwise of the shoe. The heel rest is supported on a carrier arranged to extend lengthwise of the shoe below the latter toward a location under the toe-lasting means, this carrier comprising a pair of arms 2|6 (Fig. 11) which are spaced apart widthwise of the shoe to provide room for a high upper, such as that of a boot. The right-hand ends of these arms are curved upwardly and are integral with the plate 2|4. In a location substantially under that portion of the wiper carrier 54 which supports the wiper holders 56 the arms 2 |6 are pivotally supported on two upwardly extending arms 2|8 of a bifurcated lever 228 pivotally mounted on a rod 222 on the frame. In a location farther from the heel rest the two arms 2 |6 merge in a single arm 224 which ispivotally supported at its end on a link 226 mounted on a rod 228 on the frame. The link 226 is substantially parallel to the arms 2|8, and these parts constitute, in effect, a parallel link support for the heel rest carrier as the latter is moved to carry the heel rest into or out of engagement with the heel end of the shoe. The two arms 2|8 of the lever 220 merge near the lower end of the lever in a single arm 230 which is arranged to engage an abutment 232 on the frame to limit movement of the heel rest 2|0 in a direction away from the shoe. A spring 234 connected to the link 226 and to the frame holds the heel rest normally in the position determined` by this abutment. After clamping the forepart of the shoe against the plate 288 by the toe rest I8 through depression of the treadle 20, the operator pushes the heel rest into engagament with the heel-end face of the shoe against the resistance of the spring 234. The heel rest is locked in shoe-engaging position by means of a pawl 236 mounted on a rod 238 on the frame and co-.
operating with teeth 240 formed on a plate 242 fastened to the lower end of the arm 23D. A spring 244 connected to the frame and to an arm 246 which is integral with the pawl 235 holds the pawl normally in position to cooperate with the ratchet teeth. The heel rest is released to permit its return to starting position by the same treadle 40 which releases the toe rest. For this purpose there is integral with the treadle 40 an arm 248 connected by a link 250 to the arm 246, so that when the treadle is depressed the pawl 236 is swung away from the ratchet teeth 240 substantially at the time when the pawl 32 is swung away from the teeth 30. There is, however, a lost-motion connection between the link 250 and the arm 246, comprising a slot 252 in the link and a pin 254 in the arm, to insure that the pawl 32 will not be withdrawn from the ratchet teeth 30 as the pawl 236 slips over the teeth 240 in the movement of lthe heel rest to operative position. It will be evident that the heel rest as well as the toe rest may be unlocked if desired by use of the double-acting treadle H6 through the action of the pin |12 on the link |68 as hereinbefore described, since the swinging of the treadle 40 which results from this action of the pin on the link will cause the arm 248 to act through the link 255 to withdraw the pawl 236 from the teeth 240.
The machine shown in Fig. 8 is further provided with means for positively limiting the upwiping movement of the wipers when the latter are in proper position to wipe the margin of the upper inwardly over the insole, so that the operator will not have to exercise any care in determining where to stop the upward movement 'of the wiper carrier 54. For this purpose there is supported on a table 256 which is secured n the top of the frame over the wiper carrier a stop member comprising a plate 258 fast on the lower end of a spindle 268 which extends upwardly through a sleeve 262 threaded in a boss on the table 256. The sleeve 262 has at its upper end a hand wheel 264 for turning it, and
fast on the spindle 268 above this hand wheel is a collar 266 to prevent relative lengthwise movement of the sleeve and the spindle. The plate 258 lies in a slot 268 extending lengthwise of the shoe in the table 256, and is accordingly prevented from turning when the sleeve 262 is turned to adjust the plate upwardly or downwardly. Mounted in a guideway extending lengthwise of the shoe in the cover plate 62 of the wiper carrier 54 is a slide 210 having thereon an upstanding lug 212 arranged to engage the stop plate 258 to limit the upwipingmovement of the Wipers, as illustrated in Fig. l0. Mounted in a recess in the slide 210 and abutting at one end against a stud 214 fast on the cover plate 62 is a spring 216 which tends to move the slide 218 toward the left and holds it normally against the end of a rod 218 which is threaded in the cover plate 62 and has on its left-hand end a knurled wheel 280 for turning it to adjust the slide 218. When the wiper carrier 54 is further advanced by the hand lever 84 to cause the Wipers to wipe the upper over the insole, the lug 212 on the slide 216 is carried out from under the stop plate 258, as shown in Fig. 8. 'Ihis permits further upward movement of the wiper carrier to lift the wipers before they are retracted from over the shoe bottom. In the subsequent retractive movement of the wiper carrier the lug 212 will engage the right-hand edge of the plate 258, whereupon the spring 216 will yield as the wiper carrier is further retracted. It will be understood that as soon as the wiper carrier is lowered far enough to Withdraw the lug 212 from contact with the plate 258, the spring 216 will return the slide 210 to its normal position determined by adjustment of the rod 218.
The margin of the toe end of the upper of the welt shoe shown in Fig. 8 may be fastened in lasted position in the customary manner by use of a binder wire and anchor tacks, the machine having rotatably mounted on the frame a reel 282 supporting a coil of such binder wire.
It will be understoodthat the means above described for limiting the upwiping movement of the wipers, and likewise the heel rest 2 I0 and its controlling mechanism, may, if desired, be ap- 4 plied to a machine for operating on a shoe of the type illustrated in Fig. 1.
