- ABSTRACT An Apparatus for use with a reciprocating press for feeding pieces of leather into and from between the press elements.
- the pieces of leather are thus cut into desired shapes and ornamented by punching designs such as stitching marks and holes there through to provide portions of shoe tops, belts and other articles.
- the device for feeding such pieces of leather is an electrically heated, cutting die supporting carrier or vehicle which rides on a supporting guide plate with track elements thereon.
- the supporting plate is fixed to the stationary element of the press.
- the carrier or vehicle is supported on the guide plate by spring urged rollers which yield under pressure when the pieces of leather are being operated upon the press.
- the carrier is moved manually on the supporting guide plate from a loading and discharge position in front of the press to punching position within the press.
- Such ornamental designs include circular or other shaped holes and closely shaped punchings to represent stitching.
- Other leather articles such as straps, pocketbooks, etc., are similarly processed. This involves placing the piece of leather on a specifically designed cutting die, mounting said die on a heavy electrically heated carriage and moving the heated carriage, die and leather into a press machine. After the pressing, cutting and punching operation has taken place, the heated carriage with the die and leather are removed from the press and the shaped and ornamented piece of leather removed from the die. Previously these cuttings and markings were accomplished by hand tools and stitching machines. My device perfonns such results with speed, accuracy, and efficiency with a great savings of time and labor.

ROBINSON BY 'M/fl ATTORNEY HEATED DIE CARRIER My invention relates to an electrically heated die carrying vehicle or carriage for leather cutting and punching machines. At present various portions of shoes have ornamental markings thereon which are made in the leather by dies heated and pressed into or through said portions of the shoe leather prior to actual construction of the shoe itself. The dies also cut the leather into specifically shaped pieces. Such ornamental designs include circular or other shaped holes and closely shaped punchings to represent stitching. Other leather articles such as straps, pocketbooks, etc., are similarly processed. This involves placing the piece of leather on a specifically designed cutting die, mounting said die on a heavy electrically heated carriage and moving the heated carriage, die and leather into a press machine. After the pressing, cutting and punching operation has taken place, the heated carriage with the die and leather are removed from the press and the shaped and ornamented piece of leather removed from the die. Previously these cuttings and markings were accomplished by hand tools and stitching machines. My device perfonns such results with speed, accuracy, and efficiency with a great savings of time and labor.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein are set forth by way of illustration and example certain embodiments of this invention.

FIG. 7 shows the steel undercarriage.
FIG. 8 illustrates an enlarged detail of the roller mounting on a plane through line 39 39 of FIG. 7.
A conventional pressing machine (1) is shown in FIG. 1 mounted on a table or standard (2). The press has a rectangular front opening (3) therein with a stationary base plate (4), a vertically reciprocating plunger (5) and conventional means not shown for operating said plunger. My invention includes an elongated rectangular steel guide plate (6), better shown in FIG. 2, with a flange (7) extending from its lower surface. The flange (7) is bolted as at (8) to the front edge of the stationary base plate (4) of the press, as shown in FIG. 1. The steel guide plate (6) extends over the entire stationary base plate (4) of the press (1) and extends outwardly from the opening (3) in the press. Adjacent the side edges of the top of the guide plate (6) are fixed two tefion guide strips (9), see FIG. 2, between which applicants heated carriage, FIG. 3, rides into and out of the opening (3) in the press.
The heated carriage (10) is best shown, as assembled, in FIG. 3 and includes a steel under carriage (11) including a substantially rectangular plate FIG. 7 (31) having top (32), bottom (33) and sides (34), said plate (31) having spring (36), Fig. 8, pressed retractable ball bearing rollers (12) extending below its lower corners through openings (35) in the plate (31) As mentioned on page 1 in lines 11 through 13, The carrier or vehicle is supported on the guide plate by spring urged rollers which yield under pressure when pieces of leather are being operated upon in the press. The outer verti cal surfaces (13) of the steel under carriage (11) make sliding contact with opposed sides of the teflon guides (9) on the guide plate (6) FIG. 2. To the rear and side portion of the top (32) of the steel plate (31) of the under carriages (11) there are mounted relatively thick fibre blocks (14) for heat insulation purposes.
A thick electrically heated aluminum rectangular block (15) is shown in Figure 4. This block (15) has a large scrap discharge opening (16) in its center portion and deep rounded slots (17) in its opposite sides extending from the front edge (18) of the block to a point (19) spaced from the rear edge (20). Electric heater elements (21), FIG. 6 are inserted in the slots or grooves (17) from the front edge (18) of the block (15). Two positioning pins (22) extend upwardly from the top surface of the electrically heated block (15) 'to receive a leather cutting die plate (23) placed on top of the block (15). The deep rounded slots (17) on the opposite sides of said block (15) are covered by side plates (24) which are screwed to block (15) to enclose the elongated tubular heater elements (21). As shown in FIG. 3 a handle member (25) having a wooden grasping element is attached to the side plates (24) adjacent to open ends of the slots (17) and extend a distance from said block (15). Between the side portions of the handle element (25) there is a heater control switch box (26) having a switch (31) and heater control element (32), see FIGS. 3 and 5 which is mounted upon an angle plate (27) attached to the block element (15) and extending above said heater control switch box (26) to insulate it from the heater block (15). Electrical connections interconnect the heater elements and the heater control switch box.
' As assembled the heated carriage (10) includes the steel under carriage 11) having the spring pressed ball bearing rollers (12) and the insulating fibre blocks (14) attached to the upper side of the steel under carriage (11) and the aluminum block (15). The thick aluminum block (15) is fixedly attached through said fibre blocks (14) as by bolts not shown to the steel under carriage (11).
FIG. 6 shows an example of a cutting die plate (23) having various forms of cutting elements (28) projecting from the upper surface. Positioning pins (29) and openings (30) on the lower surface of the cutting die plate (23) serve to position and retain the cutting die plate on top of the heater block (15).
In operation the guide plate (6) is attached through flange (7 to the press base plate (4). The heater carriage assembly (10) is slidably placed upon the steel guide plate (6) between the teflon guides (9). The heating elements (21) are inserted in slots (17) and the electric switch 31 on switch box (26) is turned on to bring the aluminum block (15) and the cutting die (23) to the operating temperature. The cutting die (23) has been fitted to the top of the heater carriage (10) and a piece of leather is now placed on the top of the cutting die plate (23). The operator then moves the heater assembly (10) into the press opening (3) and the press plunger (5) is operated one complete stroke down and up. The heater as sembly (10) is withdrawn from the press on its rollers (12) and the punched leather piece removed. This operation is manual but rapidly repeated on successive pieces of leather to cut and perforate the same. 7
The invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
