ATENT EUGENE H. TAYLOR, OF LYNN, ASSIGNOR TO THE AMERICAN SHOE TIP COMPANY, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
BUTTON=SETT|NG TOOL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 390,818, dated October 9,1888.
Application filed July 7,1988. Serial No. 279,279.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, EUGENE H. TAYLOR, of Lynn, county of Essex, State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Button-Setting Machines, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had to the drawings accompanying and forming a part hereof, in which- Figure 1 is a side view. Fig. 2 is a front view. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on line a: 00, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a cross-section on line y y, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a cross-section on line .2 2, Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a view of the lower end of the receiver.
The object of my invention is the construction of a simple and effective implement for setting buttonsthat is, securing them by means of staples to leather or similar material; and it consists in a pair of pivotedjaws provided with handles by which they may be operated in the usual manner, one of said jaws having a die or anvil against which the fastener-prongs, after piercing the material to which the button is to be fastened, impinge and are clinched, and the other of saidjaws carrying a hammer to co-operate Wit-h said anvil, as also a pivoted sliding case or receiver in which the staples and buttons are received and from which they are delivered to the material.
My invention will be readily understood from the following description of it, as it isembodied in the implement shown in the accompanying drawings.
A A represent the jaws and their handles, which are pivoted at B in the well-known manner. The handles are provided with an interposed spring, C, by which the jaws are kept normally open for greater convenience.
The lowerjaw, A, is provided with a die, a, set therein, and secured from the under side by means of a screw, 6. (See Fig. 3.) On the face of the die a are two depressions or concavities, d, to receive the ends of the staples as they pass through the material to which the button is fastened and turn and clinch them therein.
The upper jaw, A, is of the shape shown, and has an upward projection, e, which is provided with a 1ug,f, to which is pivoted atg (No model.)
the receiver or case h,the pivotpassingthrough a slot, j, in either side of the receiver. (See Figs. 1 and 3.) This arrangement allows the receiver to slide vertically and also to swing outwardly away from thejaw Ainto the position shown in dotted lines, Fig. 3.
A wire spring, is, is secured to thejaw A, as shown, Figs. 1 and 2, the spring passing over the jaw and being twisted around a pin, Z, set on either side of the jaw. The forward ends of the spring is bear on pins at, set on either side of the receiver, and tend to press the receiver down, as also back against the jaw A, so that the pivot y will lie in the topof the slotj, as shown, Fig. 1.
The end of thejaw Aon which the receiver h slides is grooved at either side, as shown at (1, Figs. 4 and 5, forming a projection which fits a corresponding groove on the back of the receiver, so that the receiver is accurately guidedin its vertical movement and prevented from being laterally displaced. The receiver is cut away centrally to receive the projection f, as also the driver p, and is provided with face-plates h, which at their lower ends proj ect partially over the slot in the receiver and form a guideway for the staple as it is forced through the material. The eye or shank of the button lies in the opening a between the plates h and passes down through said opening as the button is being set. The lower end of the receiver, below the driver,'when the driver is in normal position, as shown, Fig. 3, is of the shape in crosssect-ion shown in the end view, Fig. 6, and is provided with a flange or projection, r, on either side, which, with the face-plates h, form the guideway to guide the staple while it is being acted upon by the driver.
The driver 1 is secured to the under side of 0 the jaw A by a screw, a, Fig. 3, and its front end is forked, as shown, Fig. 4, and bears on either shoulder of the staple as it is driven. The flanges r, Fig. 6, extend up to the driver when the driver is in its raised or normal position, as shown, Figs. 2 and 3, and as the driver descends these flanges are received in the slots t, Fig. 4, at either side of the driver. Above the driver a crosspiece, b, is left,which is integral with or fast to the receiver, and x00 which is beveled and grooved vertically, as shown, Figs. 2 and 3. This piece 11 serves as a guide in introducing astaple to the machine.
To introduce a staple and its attached but- 5 ton the receiver is pressed forward by the operator into the position indicated by the dotted lines, Fig. 3. The prongs of the staple are then placed against the beveled surface of the piece b and the staple slipped down past the end of the driver and under the face-plates h. The receiver is then allowed to move back into its normal position and the staple and button are in place ready to be set in the material. The friction of the staple in the guide 1 way is suificient to prevent it from falling out of the machine or becoming displaced. The edges of the plates h, where the staples are slipped under them, maybe turned up slightly, as shown atf, Fig. 3, to facilitate the operation of inserting the staple.
The operation of the machine is as follows: A staple, which has been provided with a but ton, is inserted, as above described, in the receiver. The material .to which the button is 2 to be secured is then placed between the lower end of the receiver and thedie a, and thejaws AAarebronghttogether. Vhen the receiver comes in contact with the material it stops, and the driver continues to move toward the 0 die a, forcing the staple out of the gnideway in the receiver through the material and against the die a, which turns and clinches the prongs. \Vhen the j aws separate, the receiver is forced into its normal position again by the springk.
I do not desire to limit myself to the application of my improvements to a hand implement, as they may he obviously applied to a powermachine in which the jaws or parts A A will approach and recede from each other in a straight line instead of from a pivotal point, as B.
\Vhat I claim is 1. In a button-setting machine, the hereindescribed receiver from which the button is delivered to the material, said receiver being cut away centrally to receive the driver and pivoted at its upper portion to the jaw A by a sliding pivot, whereby it may be moved both vertically and laterally relatively to said driver, substantially as shown and described.
2. A button-setting machine having the receiver h, pivoted by means of a sliding pivot to the jaw A and grooved to receive the driver 7 and havin a beveled cross- )iece, 7), for the purposes and substantially as shown and de scribed.
3. The combination, in a buttonsetting machine, of the jaw A, the driver 12, secured to said jaw and adapted to enter a groove in the receiver, the receiver h, pivotally secured by means of a slot and pin above said driver, the
spring is, and the cooperating clinching-die a,
substantially as shown and described.
