ELAsTlo-GORE MARKER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 500,007, dated June 20, 1893.

Application filed March 18, 1893.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN KENT, of Brockton, in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Elastic-Gore Markers, of Which'the following is a specification.

This invention has relation to devices for marking elastic gorings for Congress and other boots and shoes.

It is the object of the' invention to provide for a single Congress shoe, may be marked at a single operation, which Work may be done speedily, accurately, and with entire safety from accident to the operator.

It is also the object of the invention to provide a machine of the characterbefore mentioned which can be readily adjusted with exactness to mark gores Suited to boots and shoes of varying size.

It is also the object of the invention to provide other improvements, incidental to the foregoing, all as I will now proceed to describe and claim. y

Reference is to be had to the annexed drawings and to the letters marked thereon forming a part of this specification, the same letters designating the same parts or features as the case may be, wherever they occur.

Of the draWings-Figure I is a top plan view of the invention, complete. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a front view, part being shown as in section.

Y In the drawings a designates the bed of the machine which may be a {iat smooth plate of suitable dimensions and strength.

b is a bar provided at its rear end with laterally extended arms c which are jourualed in suitable bearings d connected with the bed.

c is the central marking device, havinglthe character of a double trough and of the form of a W in cross section,which marking device is secured beneath the forward part of the bar b and extending parallel therewith. In the angles forming'the bottoms of the double troughs of the said central marking device there are made narrow slits f which communicate between the interior and exterior of the said troughs, which are constructed so as to hold powdered chalk or other marking material which may be supplied through the screw-capped opening g. The lines upon serial No. 466,579. (No model.)

which the two slits f extend may be parallel, or they may extend at an angle the one to the other, as may be desired.

h 1l designate the side-markers, each of which is trough-like in character, and has a slit f formed along the line of its angular bottom similar to the slits f in the bottom of the central marker e. The said markers ha' are supported upon rodsj 7c bybearings Z integrally connected with the tops of the markers ht which bearings are adapted to slide on the said rods, the latter being, in turn, secured in bearings m connected with the top of the bar b.

n o are shifting bars, the former being rigidly connected at one end With the marker h, and provided with a sleeve p at the other end adapted to slide on the rod j, and the latter' being connected at one end with the marker/Ll and provided at the otherend with a sleeve q adapted to slide on the rod 7c.

At their inner edges, over the bar b the shifter bars fn 0 are constructed as rack-bars, the teeth of which mesh with a pinion 'r secured to a stud fr' which turns in a bearing at the bar b and connected-with which stud or pinion, at its inner end, is the lever s, the outer end of which extends over the sector A dog formed on the inner end of the springpressed finger piece a is adapted to be engaged with and disengaged .from the teeth formed in the outer edge of the sector.

c designates top-gages pivoted at their inner ends upon the bed mand adapted at their outer ends by means of a bolt w passing through a slot in the gages, to be adjusted so that the said gages may extend at a greater or less angle to the slitted marking lines in the bottoms of the markers.

The gages o are provided with rounded notches in their upper edges at points opposite the spaces between the central and side markers.

y is a gage pin, projecting up from the bed centrally between the double central markers.

c is a spring interposed between the bed and the lower face of the bar b and operating with a tendency to 'keep the said bar normally raised.

a is a chain connected at its upper end with the bar b and extending through a hole (not IOO powder and blanks for gores to be athand on .t

both sides of the machine, and theseveral parts of the latter properly adjusted, the operator with each hand may take a blank, and bring each atjits inner edge against ythe gagepin y, with the top of each againstits respective top-guide z. Then, with his or her-foot the operator may by depressing the treadle (not shown) or by any other suitable means bringthe markers down upon `the blanks with a blow which will canse the powdered material in the markers to sift through `their slitf ted angular bottoms and mark said blanksalong the desired lines.

A size.

a pair at a time--with the utmost exactness l The notches cv in` the upper edges of the top gages-enable the operator with a finger of the hand to hold on to the blanks and maintain them in place, and said notches Abeing on a line falling between the central and side'maikers insures the finger being in position where the markers in their descent, will not strike them. The spring z it will be understood, will raise themarkers o the material on the bed. Bytakin'g hold `of the lever s and pressing upward the outer end of the finger piece u so as to `disengage the dog on the inner end of the said 1finger piece from the notches formed in the outer edge ofthe sector t said lever-'may be swung forward or backward moving the outer markers h z', through the medium of the pinion r ing the device for marking gorings in diiierentwidths, suited to dierent-sized boots or shoes. By moving the'flever 's""`in the'direction of the arrow marked on the sector t the markers h 'L' will be moved outward, and by moving said lever in the opposite direction, the said markers will be moved inward.

l The face of the sector is scale-marked as shown, to enable the operator at-a glance at the scale to adjust the markers by a simple movement of the lever t solas to suit the device for marking By adjusting the gages o the stitching .marks on the gorings may be made to extend at any desired angle with reference to the line of the upper edge.

It will be seen that the covers to the side markers are wider at theirrear ends as indicated-at b (Fig. 3) than at their front ends gorings of any particular g so that by shifting the trough part of they respect to the lines made by the central' marken This adjustment may be obtained by screws c passingl through slotted pro- :jections don the saidl covers, which screws are tappedinto projections on the trough proper.
