A. 0. LINDSEY. MACHINE FOR MANUPAUTURE 0F SHOE BINDING.

ALFRED O. LINDSEY, OF GIIARLESTOWN, MASSACHUSETTS.

MACHINE FOR-MANUFACTURE OFSHOE-BINDING.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 412.300, dated April 12, 1864.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED O. LINDSEY, of Charlestown, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful machine for printing skins and cutting the same'into bands to be used for making shoe-binding; and I do hereby,

declare the same to be fully described in the following specification, and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure 1- denotes the machine inside elevation; Fig. 2, a top view of one of the bands made by the machine; Fig. 3,.a top 'andso as to operate in manner as hereinafter explained. r

In Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawings,B B B are a series of endless cords or carryingbands, arranged at equal distances asunder and around two drums, 3 4, and so as to run against its bed-drum.5, and also two auxiliary and supporting or guiding rollers, G9, the said drums and rollers being arranged with respect to one another and with a frame, A, as shown in Fig. 1. A series of stripingrollers, .R R It, provided with an. inkreservoir, 0, into which they partially (enter, is arranged with their peripheries between the several bands'B B, and so as to roll against a skin while it may be passing be-v tween the said peripheries and the drum 5.

Each of the striping-rollers should not only may rest against the same and be arranged with respect to the striping-rollers and the carrying-bands as shown in Figs. 1 and 3. An endless belt, a, going around a pulley, b, and a drum-pulley, 2, serves to put the cutters in revolution, the pulley b being on one end of the shaft (1 of the cutting-knives. The pulley 2 is fixed on a shaft, f, which carries a pulley, it, about which and apulley, 1, an end band, '0', travels. is carried by a driving-shaft, k, on which there is another who T Z around which and I I 57 7 a pulley, m, carried by another shaft, man endless belt, 0, operates. The drumS is driven by an endless belt, 1), which goes around two'pulleys, q r-one being on the shaft n and the other being fixed to the shaft of the said drum. In Fig. 1 the pulleys l 'm and the endless belt 0 are represented in red lines.

When the shaft k is'revolved in the direction represented bythearrow in Fig. 1, the several operative parts of the machine will be put inmotion in such manner that whenever a skin is laid on the bands: B B and between the

drums

3 and 5 such skin will be moved forward between thesaid bands and the drum 5 and against the series of cut ters and the series of striping-rollers, and after having been out into strips and had each strip striped, as shown in- Fig. 2, such skin or portions thereofwill be carried over the drum 5 and by it be discharged from the machine, a chute, T, if desirable, being applied to the drum to facilitate the discharge of the skin or strips therefrom. The strips, after passing from the machine and being dried, are to be cut in two longitudinally along their middles.

The partssoeut, when overlapped and joincdor connected together at their ends and reduced to one uniform thickness, constitute thearticle denominated shoe-binding.

What 1 claim as my invention is- The machine or combination substantially as; above described, such consisting of the endless series of carrying bands H B B, the bed-drum 5, the series otj rotary cutters K K K, and thetstriping mechanism or rollers It and reservoir 0, arranged and so as to cooperate, and supplied with operative mechanism, substantially as hereinbefore explained.
