SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 774,505, dated November 8, 1904.

Application filedlEebruary Zii, 1903- Serial No. 145,156. (No model.)

It further consists in providing novel means for opening and closing the aws of thema-i chine during the revolution thereof.

It further consists of novel'deta-ils of construction, all as will be hereinafter set forth.

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 rep; resents a plan view thereof. Fig. 3 represents asectional view of a portion of the machine on an enlarged scale. Fig. 4 represents a rear elevation of the machine. Fig. 5 represents a section through the line a: m, Fig. 1.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the frame or housing of the machine, in which is suitably journaled a shaft 2, which is driven in any convenient mannerfor example, through the pulleys 3 on said shaft.

4 designates an arm to which is suitably secured, at substantially one end thereof, the stake or outer staking or perching device 5 and carrying on substantially the other end the counterweight 6, it being understood that the shaft 2 carries the said arm 4.

Pivotally supported on the arm 4 is the lever 7, which carries the inner staking or perching device 8 and also carries the cam-roller 9, which is held in suitable contact with a cam 10 by means of a spring 11, said cam 10 being adapted to be moved longitudinally, but prevented from revolution by reason of a sleeve 12, which is attached to said camlO, engaging with the feather 13, which is in engagement with the frame or housing 1 of the machine, said sleeve being connected ,with a lever 14, which is pivotally connected with the rod 15, which is pivotally secured to the lever 16, movably connected with a suitable portion of the frame of the machine and which carries the treadle 17, said lever having a suitable device which is adapted to engage with the rack 18, which constitutes a locking device. A suitable spring 19 holds the cam 10 in normal position, one end of said spring contacting with said cam, the opposite end with a suitable portion of the frame of the machine.

2O designates the breast-roll as in machines of this character and in conjunction with any suitable clamping device enables the operator to hold the skin 21 against the pull of the machine.

22 designates the operating-table, having a suitable space therein for the movement of the 'parts, as is evident.

The operation is as follows: The machine is started and operated by means of any suitable power and the skin 21 placed upon the operating-table 22 and that portion of the skin that is to be staked or perched over the working space of the table, the inner staking or perching device 8 having receded from proximity to the outer staking device 5 by the action of the cam-roller 9 and the cam 10, which are so arranged that this will occur substantially as the parts start upon their upward movement. The arm 4, carrying the outer staking device 5, will pass beneath the skin 21, While the inner stakingdevice 8 will be upon theupper side of the skin, it being noted that the arc of the operating-table 22 is struck from a point above the center of rotation of the parts, so that the operations above described occur, it being understood, of course, that the arm 4, lever 7, and the parts carried thereby form a complete revolution around a common center, being carried by the shaft 2. As seen best in Fig. 2, the staking device operates through the space between the two side portions of the table. In the continued up ward movement of the staking devices the cam 10 and cam-roller 9 are so arranged as to cause the inner and outer staking devices 8 and 5 to close andgrip the skin 21 at a point about or substantially opposite to the breastroll 20, and the said staking devices will continue or remain in closed position until the skin 21 has passed entirely between said staking or perching devices, the position of the parts being shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. When the skin has passed between the staking devices, the latter continue their revolution, while the skin returns to the table 22 by gravity and is ready for the next operation of the parts, it being of course understood, l10\ ever, that, if desired, suitable mechanism may be employed to quickly and positively return the skin to the operating-table, as, for example, by a beater. The contact-pressure of the staking devices may be increased by depressing the treadle 17, which acts, through the lever 16, rod 15, and bell-crank lever 14, to move the sleeve 12 and cam 10 to the right of the drawing Fig. 4, the thrust-spring 19 acting to reduce such pressure when the lever 16 is disengaged from the rack 18.

It will be evident that various changes may be made by those skilled in the art which will come Within the scope of my invention, and I do not, therefore, desire to be limited in every instance to the exact construction herein shown and described.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A staking-machine comprising an outer staking device, means for giving a continuous progressive motion thereto and an inner staking device mounted on and movable with said outer device.

2. A staking-machine comprising an outer staking device, means for giving a continuous progressive motion thereto, an inner staking device mounted on and movable with said outer device and means for varying the relative position of said devices during said movement.

3. A staking-machine comprising a rotary stake, a lever mounted on said stake, a staking device on said lever, a roller on said lever and a longitudinally-movable cam operative to move said staking device relatively to said stake.

I. A staking-machine comprising a rotary staking device consisting of two coacting portions and means for varying the contact-pressure of said portions during their common rotation.
