GEORGE ANDERSON MOORE AND HARRY J. ROSEGRANT, OF PHlLADEliPHIA,

PENNSYLVANIA.

SOLE LAY ING MAOHlNE.

SPECIFIUATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 606,176, datedJ'une 21, 1898. Application filed May 26,1897. Serial Il'o. d38,318. (No modelL) I To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, Gnonon ANDERSON Moons and HARRY J. ROSEGBANT, citizens of the'United States, residing at Philadelphia,

in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Sole-Laying Machine, of

with a superposed lipsmoothly presses and. sets together the said welt and the edge of v the said outside sole.

We attain our object by the ,Ineehanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which--- Figure l is aside erection of our machine,

part of which is shown in vertical section;

and 2 is a sectional view of a shoe inposition when the operation is performed.

" In the drawings, A is a' pedestal carrying the frame B, composed of a base attached to said pedestal and two upright pillars. Said pillars constitute the bearings for the shaft D. .Said shaft is driven by the gear-wheels 0 at one end, while at the other end it is tur nished with the milled roll E, set upon it by collar'and set-screw, and which roll forms a snpportforthe shoeand extends outwardly beyond the outer end of the lip. Oneof'the said pillars B is hollowed to receive-the tension-spring H, (shown at G,) which, by means of the thumb-screw permits the journal I to be adjusted as desirech'so that the said milled roll E mayhave 'a close or loose contact with the lip F, which is rigidly afiixed to the pillar B, the outer end of the lip being flat on its under' side and tapered on-its outeredge, so asto fit in'the crease between the welt and the upper. The pressure of this fiat surface on the roller causes thewrinkles in the welt to be aiways straight ened'out, whichis not the case where two rolling surfaces are. used...

placed upon trimming and channelinm.

M is a loose collar carried upon the shaft 1), said collar being connected with the treadle L by means of the rod K.

N is the upper of a boot or shoe; P, the insole; 0, the welt, and Q the outside sole.

In operation after the outside sole Q is and cemented tot-he insole P andvthe welt 0' the shoe is deliveredto the operator of our machine,'whoby means of the treadle L separates the milled roll E and the lip F- sufficiently to allow the entrance of the welt 0 and the outside sole Q. He then releases the treadle, and the said roll'and lip,

.Jwith the material between them, come close together; He then passes the shoe around the machine, commencing at the heeland carrying it forward to the toe and back onthe other side to the heel again, and the opera tion is complete. The result of the operationis that the edges of the said welt and outside sole are' smoothly and firmlyset together and finished ready togo to the next machine for V The last is not at any stage of the tion removed from the shoe. 1

Having now described ourinvention and z 7 operathe method of its-operation, what we claim .as new, and desire Letters Patent for, is

In a machine for pressing the weltagainst the outer edge ofthe sole, a rigid lip that is secured to the frame, combined with a vertically-adjustable roller placed upon. a driven shattgand-which roller projects beyond the outer end of the lip, and forms a support for the sole of the shoe; the outer end of the lip being formed so as toenter the crease between the upper and the welt, and flat on its under side so as to straighten out the wrinkles in the welt, substantially as show ne GEORGE ANDERSON MOORE.- HABRY.
