ENOS PATTEN AND THOMAS DAVEY, OF LYNN, MASSACHUSETTS; SAID DAVEY ASSIGNOR TO SAID PATTEN.

SOLE BUFFING CLEANING, AND EDGE SETTING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 253,169, dated January 31, 1882.

Application filed Juno 6, 1881.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that we, ENos PATTEN, a citizen of the United States, and THOMAS DAVEY, a subject of the British Empire, both residing at Lynn,in the conntyofEssex and Common wealth of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Sole Buffing,Oleaning,and Edge Setting Machine; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and concise description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.

Ourinvention relates to that class of machines used for the purpose of edge-settin g, sole-buffing, and sole-cleaning in the manufacture of boots and shoes.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and effective apparatus which shall be adapted to be used for all the purposes above specified by a simple interchange of certain parts.

The invention consists in certain details of construction, all hereinafter fully set forth and specifically claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevationof our improved machine; Fig. 2, a side elevation; Fig. 3, a plan, partly in section. Fig. 4 shows a front elevation of an edge-setting tool adapted for use in connection with the machine in the place of the buffer. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the same.

In Figs. 1 and 2 of these drawings, A represents a counter-shaft, suspended from the ceiling by suitable hinges,b b. It is intended to receive motion from a band on pulley a, and is provided with another pulley, a, for transmitting the motion received. On the shaft A is suspended afra-me, B,adapted to swing freely thereon. To this is pivoted a lower frame, 0, by central pivot, 0, through the end bars, which pivot permits the lower frame to turn on the upper, thus inclining the plane of one frameto thatof the other. In the lower frame is hung a shaft,D, provided with pulley f, connected to pulley a by band h, and with a see- I described.

(N0 model.)

the shaft D is pivoted a bow or frame, E, to which is fixed arm E in line with pulley c. On the outer end of this arm is pivoted axially therewith a short extension, F, (shown in section in Fig; 3,) to which is attached by transverse pivot a head, G, the pivot passing through a hole in the tongue of the head G.

In the head G revolves a shaft, H, carrying a pulley fixed thereto, and revolving in a recess in the head in line with pulley e. A band connects the two pulleys, and communicates motion to the shaft H. On one end of the shaft H is a buffer, M, usually covered with sandpaper, which revolves with the shaft. Outside of that, loose, but held on by a screw, is a handle, N. Another handle, also loose, is shown at m on the other side of the head G. Outside this and on the end of H is a pad, L,

of ordinary construction, slightly flexible and covered with sand-paper. Instead of this, a brush may be attached. By taking hold of one or both of these handles the tool may be turned and applied to work in any direction. The tool may be turned vertically from the pad L by means of the axial point or pivot between parts of arms E and F, or, using both handles, the tool may be. turned horizontally to apply the buffer M.

The interchangeable tool for edge'settingis shown in Figs. 4 and 5. In this is a shaft, 4, corresponding to shaft H in tool heretofore It is carried in. a corresponding head formed with a tongue like the tongue t on G. The shaft turns in bearings 9 9. A block, 10, fixed to one side of the head, has 8 fixed thereto a handle, 3, and an arm-rest, 13, to enable the operator to steady the tool. The shaft 4 is bored out longitudinally, and a pin, 7, passes centrally through such shaft. and is held in position bya coil-spring,14. The edgesetting tool is removed by pressing this pin 7 inward against the tool, the spring returning it to position when released. The outer end of pin 7 is provided with a knob or handle, as shown. provided with an eye, 12, by which it may be suspended by flexible connections to the ceiling by a spring, such as that shown at 15 in Fig.2. The tool is represented as in'position,

A loop is pivoted within the head, 5 I

arm E, arm F, axially pivoted thereto, and head G, carrying shaft, pulley, and tools, all as set forth.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
