SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 583,047, dated May 25, 1897'. Application filed July 16, 1896. Serial No. 599,401. (No model.)

y ing in Winchester, in the countyof Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have in vented an Improvement in Nailing-Machines, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters and figures on the drawings representing like parts.

This invention relates to a machine for d ri ving loose nails.

My present invention has for its object to provide a machine more especially designed and adapted, among other uses, to be employed for nailing welts to the upper and inner sole.

In accordance with this invention the machine is provided with a driver for the nails, carried by a movable or swinging frame which is pivotally supported by a main casing or frame which is itself adapted to turn or swing on the driver-carrying frame to effect a proper and substantially uniform spacing of the nails driven into the welt or other work, the said frames turning or swinging one on the other alternately, as will be hereinafter more fully described.

The movable dri ver-carrying frame has cooperating with it a raceway for the loose nails and a hopper from which the raceway leads to a nose-piece or driver-guideway, between which and the end of the raceway is interposed a separator for the nails, which separator is pivotallyattached to the swinging main frame and is adapted to be automat'- ically operated, as will be described.

The main casing or frame, the driver, and t-he separator arel and may be operated, in a manner as will be described, by means of suitable cams mounted on a shaft which is powerdriven, the said driver being moved in one direction by one of the said cams and being moved in an opposite direction by a spring or other suitable medium. The hopper containing the loose nails may and preferably will be mounted upon the raceway to rotate thereon, and is rotated from the main shaft of the power-'operated movable nailer. The

movable main frame for the machine may have secured to or forming part of it a presserfoot preferably provided with a guide for the welt which is to be laid upon and fastened to the shoe, and the said frame may be further provided with a guide or gage to insure the welt being laid and fastened to the upper at a uniform distance from the side or edge of the shoe, in a manner as will be described. The complete apparatus is portable, and is adapted to be held in one hand of the operator and guided about a shoe secured on a suitable support, as will be described. These and other features of this invention will be pointed out in the claims at the end of this specification.

In accordance with this invention the main operating parts in my improved -instrument are supported or carried by what I prefer to designate as the main framework of the instrument, which framework in the present instance consists, essentially, of an inclosing hollow casing A, provided with a removable front piece or cover A, and having extended from the rear side of the upper end thereof, as herein shown, a tubular hub A2. The main or shank portion of the casing A is preferably bulged on its sides 5 G (see Fig. l) to afford a more convenient hold for the hand of the operator.

The main framework or casing A contains within it a swinging frame or carrier A3 for a reciprocating driver-bar A4. The carrier A3, as herein shown, (see Fig. 5,) consists, essentially, of a hub or cylindrical body a, from which extends a guideway for the lower portion of the driver-bar A, the said guidelOO way consisting, as herein shown, of side pieces a d2, connected by a back piece a3, the said side pieces being secured to the hub a, so that the guideway for the driver-bar may be located eccentric to or on one side of the center of the said hub, with the front face of the side pieces d a2 substantially Hush with the front end of the hub a.

The hub a is provided with a cylindrical extension or sleeve a4, which fits within the hub A2, and an extension dxlthereof of smaller diameter, as herein shown, the sleeve a4 constituting a pivot upon which the main frame A swings orturus. The hub a of the driverearrying frame is provided, as herein shown, with a slot or opening a5 in line with the guideway for the lower end of the driver-bar A4, and the upper port-ion of the main framework or inclosing casing A is also provided with a slot or channel a, constituting a continuation of the slot (t5 in the hub a.

The driver-bar A4, in accordance with this invention, is provided at its lower end with a driving-tool am and preferably with an awl or holding-tool al, which are secured to the lower end of the driver-bar and are adapted to reciprocate in suitable guideways, channels, or slots in a guide or nose-piece as, located below and in line with the driver-bar A4 and supported in the present instance by a raceway a9 for the nails.

The nose-piece or guide as is herein shown as provided with a bottom fiange or finger al, extended under the front end of the raceway a9 and secu red thereto by a screw am. The raceway a9 is firmly secured to the driver-barcarrying frame A3, so as to move bodily with it, and the said raceway may be secured to the said frame, as herein shown, by means of a split or forked arm al, through which the said raceway is extended and clamped thereto by a suitable screw (tu.

rlhe front end of the raceway a and the inner side of the nose-piece d8 are made substantially flat or straight and separated from each other to leave a space into which may extend aI knife or separator al, preferably of the construction herein shown and as will be more specifically described.

rlhe separator or knife @15 is secured to or forms part of an arm or lever al, (sec dotted lines, Fig. 1,) extended upward within the casing or frame A and within a longitudinal slot in the r(side a of the driver-carrying frame, and the said lever at its upper portion is curved to conform to the shape of the hub a, and the curved portion of the lever fits into a peripheral slot d150 (see Fig. 5) in the hub a and extends upward beyond the said hub into a slot am) in the main frame or easing A, where it is pivotal] y secured, as by a pivot-pin or screw-bolt d". The main casing or frame A is provided on the opposite side of the driver-carrying frame A3 with a like slot (L18, into which is extended the upper end of a lever, link, or bar al, pivoted to the casing A by a pin or screw-bolt d20, the said lever being also provided, as herein shown, with a curved portion which fits into a peripheral slot am in the hub d, and the said lever is pivotally connected at its lower end to the drivercarrying frame A3. In the present instance this pivotal connection is effected by providing the rear side of the driver-carrying frame with a socket Q24, (see dotted lines, Fig. 1,) into which fits the rounded lower end of the lever al.

The levers al al, as herein shown, are respectively provided with nubs or projections (L26 a, located on their inner sides, and the said nubs or projections are normally extended through the peripheral slots d150 (L21 by means of suitable springs (L28 a2, having one end secured to the casing A on its outside, as by screws as (1.31, the lower ends of the said springs projecting into and through suitable slots in the sides of the casing Ain line with the levers am am. The levers d10 al are adapted to be moved in opposition to the springs (L28 a2 for a purpose, as will be described, by suitably-shaped cams u32 am, secured to or forming part of a shaft I), constituting the main or driving shaft of the apparatus and having bearings in the sleeve a4.

The driving-shaft I) is further provided with a lifting-cam 1) for the driver-bar A4, which latter is provided, as herein shown, with a transverse slot or opening b2, of a length substantially equal to the diameter of the hub a, and the lifting-cam b is made,as herein shown, in the form of a curved projection or lug secured to or forming part of the front face of the cam u32, which curved lug or projection is designed to be brought into contact with the upper wall of the slot b2 to lift the driverbar A4 and to retain it in its lifted position for a purpose as will be described.

The driver-bar may be returned to its lowered or normal position by suitable means, herein shown as a spring b3, engaging the upper surface of the driver-bar and having its opposite end secured to the frame A in a suitable manner, .the said spring heilig shown as a single piece of wire bent to form a U -shaped front portion which engages a transverse groove b5 in the upper end or head D60 of the driver-bar A, which head in the present instance normally rest-s on the upper surface of the main casing A and serves as a stop to limit the downward movement of the said drivel'- bar, the said head being provided with a washer 100 to cushion the blow.

The spring b3 in the present instance has its opposite ends secured in suitable ears or lugs b D7 on the opposite sides of the hub A2 of the main frame A.

The main or driving shaft b may be rotated, as herein shown, and for this purpose it has fast on it a hub bg, having, as herein shown, a hollow extension or sleeve b9, which fits over the extension LX of the hub A2, and the sleeve l1 has secured to or forming part of it a pulley blo, constituting a driving-pulley for the nailing instrument and about which is passed a IOO IIO

belt Z912, connected to a suitable pulley on a main or counter shaft. (Not herein shown,but which in practice is located above the said instrument.) The hub Z911 in the presentinstance is rendered fast on the shaft Z9 by a pin Z913, and has secured` to or forming part of it a gear or pinionl914, which meshes with a gear or pinion Z915, secured to or forming part of ahopper Z916, which may be of any suitable or desired construction and which is shown in the present instance as a cylinder provided with a hollow extension or hub Z917 of circular internal diameter to iit over and revolve upon the cylindrical raceway a9, which latter practically forms a stationary shaft or arbor for the revolvin g hopper. The hollow extension or hub Z917 also serves as a cover for the greater portion of the length of the slot Z918 in the raceway and cooperates with and preferably abuts against the forked arm e012, with which coperates a rearwardly-extended finger Z919, attached to the upper end of the nose-piece or guide as to form a complete cover for the slot in the raceway Z918 its entire length from the hopper to thel said nose-piece. The slot Z918 may be of any suitable shape and depth,v according to the size of the nail used, and that portion of the slot withinthe hopper Z916 may and preferably Will be enlarged transversely for the more ready entranceof the nails into the slot, which enlargement may be effected by beveling the sides of the slot 61S, as at Z920 Z921, (see Fig. 10,) which beveled sides gradually decrease in size toward the discharge end or outlet of the hopper, as represented in Fig. 4. The hopper Z916 may be provided with a detachable cover Z922, herein shown as secured to the hopper by a screw Z923, extended into the end of the raceway (9.9. The main casing A may be provided with a flange Z924, extended from its rear side, as shown in Fig. 4, so as to form a rest for the hand of the operator. The main frame A may also have pivotally attached to it a finger-lever Z925, pivoted as at Z926, (see Figs. l and 4,) and having attached to it a rod Z927, which in practice is designed to be suitably connected to a friction or clutch mechanism, (not herein shown, but which governs the shaft to which the shaft Z9 is con- 'nected by the belt Z912,) so that rotation of the shaft Z9 may be controlled as desired by the operator using the instrument herein shown.

The main frame A may and preferably will have secured to it a presser-foot c, provided with a longitudinal slot d, (see Figs. l and 4,) and the said presser-foot at its heel or rear portion may be provided with a slot or opening c2, forming a guideway for the passage of the welt. (Not herein shown.)

In order that the instrument maybe guided about the edge of the shoe at a uniform dis- Jtance from its sides, so that the Welt may be properly laid, the said instrument is provided with a guide or gage which may and preferably will be made as herein shown, the said gage consisting of a roller c4, loosely secured to an arm c", herein shown as fastened by a screw c6 to the frame A.

In practice the boot or shoe to be operated upon may be held in a lasting-machine or other support, and the power-driven loose nailer herein shown travels about the edge of the stationary shoe with what may be termed a progressive, intermittent, or step-bystep movement, and during these successive movements the operating parts are alternately stationary and movable with relation to the main frame A, and vice versa. That is, When the driver-carrying bar A1 is in its lowered position (shown in Figs. l and 4) the driver am has just finished the insertion of a nail into the welt and the awl or holding-tool a7 at such time is in the work and consequently holds stationary the driver-carrying bar, rA1, its oscillating frame A3, and the parts attached to the said oscillating frame, and While these parts are held temporarily stationary by the holding-tool or awl a1 the main frame A is turned on the hub a4 of the oscillating frame AS as a center by the cam (L32 until the side 5 of the frame Ais brought in contactwith the side a2 of the frame A3, which movement places the frame A in the desired or proper position to permit of the desired or proper spacing of the nails in the welt, and at or about the same time the separator-lever is moved so as to uncover the slot in the raceway, and also at or about the time the frame A is thus moved the awl is withdrawn from the material and the drivercarrying frame A3 is thus rendered free to be moved or turned on its pivot until the side a strikes the side 6 of the frame A, and when the frame AS is brought into the positionj ust described the driver-bar descends and drives the nail into the stock and at the same 'time the awl or holding-tool is driven into the material or welt and thereby again renders stationary the-driver-carrying bar A4 and its frame A2, as above described.

As shown in Fig. l, the cam-shaft may be supposed to be revolving in the direction indic-ated by the arrow 20, and, as represented in said figure, the cam L32 has just engaged lthe nub or projection @2G on the separatorlever d10 and has moved the said lever backward so as to partially uncover the end of the slot Z91S in the raceway, and while the awl is still in the welt the cam a23is brought into engagement with the nub CL2? on the lever co1, and by reason of the fact that the frame A3 is held stationary by the awl the fulcrum of the lever 0.19 is transferred to l[he socket 0,21, thereby leaving the upper end of the said lever free to respond to the action of the cam @22, which forces the lever @19 backward or toward the right, (viewing Fig. 1,) and consequently turns the main frame A on the sleeve or hub d4 as a pivot, the slot @1S being of sufficient width to permit of such movement of the lever a1 and frame A. As the outer frame A isturned on its pivot its lower IIO end is moved forward until its side 5 strikes the side a2 of the frame A3, and at such time the main frame is held stationary by the operator engaging the presser-foot firmly with the welt.

Vhen the lower portion of the main frame A is moved forward or in the direction indicated by the arrow 40, Fig. 1, the side G of the frame A is carried away from the side d of the driver-carrying frame A3, thereby leaving space for a further movement of the separator-lever al@ by the cam u32, which movement of the separator-lever is in the direction of the arrow 40 and by which movement the separator is drawn back to Wholly uncover the end of the slot in the raeeway. The camshaft l) continues to revolve and brings the lifting-cam Zi into engagement with the upper wall of the slot b2, and on the continued rotation of the cam-shaft in the direction indicated by arrow 20, Fig. 1, the driver-bar is moved upward and withdraws the drivingtool a sufficiently from its slot in the nosepiece to permit the separator to carry the nail, partially proj eetin g from the raceway, toward and into the driver-slot in the nose as, which movement of the separator is effected bythe spring (t28 turning the lever d10 on its pivot a1T after the cam (L32 has been carried by or removed from engagement with the nnb or projection a2G on the said lever.

At or about the time the cam L32 is removed from engagement with the nnb or projection a2 on the separator-lever the cam (L33 is removed from engagement with the nnb or projection @2T on the lever al, which action permits the spring a2 to turn the driver-barcarrying frame A3 on the shaft l) as a pivot (the awl being at such time out of the work) and move its lower end toward the side 6 of the frame A, which movement is in an opposite direction to that of the separator-lever.

In order to more effeetually transfer the nail from the raeeway into the driver-slot in the nose as, I prefer to make the separator in the form of a thin blade, having a top flange 12, beveled, as at 13, to a point, and to provide the said blade with the front edge 16, which is beveled and inclined backward from its pointed upper edge, as clearly shown in Figs. G, 7, and 8, the Iiange 12 being extended into a transverse slot or channel in the rear face of the nose-piece a3 when the separator is moved by its spring L28 to transfer the nail from the raceway into the driver-slot.

The liange l2 may and preferably will be provided with a recess or slot 17, which cooperates with t-he driver-slot and affords a free passage for the driver-tool ai when the separator is in the position it occupies when tioned the driver-lifting cam is carried away or removed from engagement with the upper wall of the slot b2 in the driver-bar, thereby leaving the latter free to be moved with considerable force by the spring l2 downward in its frame A'r and drive the nail through the welt and into the inner sole of the shoe. This completes the series of movements, which are repeated in the subsequent operations of driving the nails until the power-driven handnailer has traveled around the shoe the desired distance to properly lay and secu re the welt onto the upper and inner sole.

During the operation of nailing the welt on to the shoe the hopper bl is revolved by the gears b1" 1115, and in practice the said hopper may be provided with any suitable devices, such as buckets, (not shown,) by which the loose nails may be carried up above and discharged into the enlarged portion of the raceway, and the said nails may be properly placed in the slot in the raceway and prevented from passing down the same when not in proper position by means of a hub d20, located on the inner side of the hopper and provided with inclined notches forming teeth di, or in any other suitable manner.

I have herein shown the welt-guide as a part of the presser-foot; but I do not desire to limit my invention in this respect, as the said welt-guide may be carried by the raceway.

During the progressive operations of the nailing instrument herein shown the said instrument is merely steadied, directed, or followed by the hand of the operator.
