PEG-CUTTING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 369,966, dated September 13, 1887.

Application filed June 25, 1887.

T0 aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEON DEGAR SoHooN- OVER, of Woodhull, in the county of Steuben and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Peg-Cutting Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to certain improvements in pegging and finishing boots or shoes; and it has for its object to provide a machine for shoe-makers use, whereby the operation of hand-pegging may be rendered more convenient and less laborious than as now prac ticed, and provision may be made for rapidly cutting and dressing the inner ends of the pegs, when driven through the shoe, so as to insure a comfortable bearing for the sole of the foot, as more fully hereinafter specified.

The above-mentioned objects I attain by the \a means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improved machine complete. Fig. 2 rep resents a top view of my machine, showing a portion broken away, and the boot or shoe support used when driving the pegs opened out. Fig. 3 represents a vertical transverse view of the machine, taken on the line a: at of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a similar view taken on the line 1 y of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings by letter, A indicates a frame constructed of suitable material, preferably of cast iron, and which is designed to support the bearings for the working parts of the machinery.

The letter B indicates the main drivingshaft, which is j ournaled in bearings O in the frame, and is provided with a gear-Wheel, D, which meshes with a pinion, E, on a shaft, F, jonrnaled in bearings Gin the frame A. The

said shaft projects at one side of the frame,

and upon its projecting end is mounted a balance or fly wheel which gives a uniform motion to the parts when in operation. The shaft B is formed with a crank, b, which is con- Serial No. 242,403. (No model.)

nected by a pitman, c, to the treadle (Z on the rock-shaft H, by which the machinery may beput in motion.

The letter L indicates a vertical spindle running in bearings e e in the frame A, the said spindle at its upper end being provided with a socket, k, adapted to receive a rotary peg cutter or float, m, having opposite edges to cut in either direction, for the purpose of cutting and dressing the inner ends of the pegs at the heel of the boot or shoe. Near its lower end the said spindle is provided with a beveled pinion, M, which gears with a beveled cogwhee], N, on the shaft F, whereby the spindle L receives its motion. To the shaft F is also secured a cog-wheel, P, which meshes with a pinion, R, on a shaft, S, journaled in suitable bearings in the frame. The said shaft at one end is provided with a crank-arm, T, and wrist-pin t, the latter travelingin a transverse slot in a reciprocating slide, U, running in vertical ways in the frame A. The said slide carries a vertical rod, L, extending above the top of the machine, the said rod being provided with, a socketed thimble, t, for the reception of the shank of the reciprocating pegfloat W, which is held in place by a set-screw,X.

The letter Y indicates a horizontal arm, hinged at one end to the frame A and carrying at the other a vertical leg, Z, having at its upper end a socket, j, for the reception of the shank of a pegging-anvil, A. The said leg has secured to it one end of a segment, B, which works through a guide, 0, so that the leg may be folded in and out and still be adequately supported.

The operation of the machine is as follows: By operating the treadled the shaft B will be revolved, and through the medium of the wheel D and pinion E the shaft F will be revolved, which, through the medium of the beveled gears M and N, will impart a rotary movement to the spindle L and the peg cutter or float at its upper end. At the same time the shaft S will be revolved through the medium of the cog-wheels P and R, and by means of the crank-arm T and wrist-pin t a vertical reciprocating motion will be imparted to the slide U, rod L, and peg cutter or float W.

It will readily be seen that by means of this machine the operation of cutting and dressing the inner ends of the pegs, which are driven through the shoe, will be accomplished with the expenditure of very little time and labor.

The sockets i, j, and 7c, respectively, can be used for the reception of other tools, as may be necessary.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. A peg-cutting machine consisting of the main frame, the driving crank-shaft. its pitman and treadle, the fly-wheel shaft and connecting gearing, a vertical spindle having a beveled gear engaging with a beveled gear on the fly-wheel shaft, the spindle carrying atits upper end a rotary peg-cutter, the crank-shaft S, geanwheels Pand R, and the reciprocating slide U, said slide carrying at its upper end a reciprocating peg-cutter, all arranged and operating substantially as specified.

2. In a peg-cutting machine, the combination, with the driving-shaft, the fly-wheel shaft,

and their connecting gearing, of the crankshaft S, gear-wheels P and R, and reciprocating slide U, the said slide carrying a vertical rod socketed at its upper end for the reception 1 In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my oWuI affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
