- said punch be-
- the anvil carrierframe is then rocked from the right toward the left (Fig. 3) by the slide 103, link 110, lever 113, cam slide 117 and cam 118. As the punch feeds the upper toward the left (Fig. 1).
- the die 135 slides, together with the holder 132, in the curved groove 131 until said die holder arrives at a point where it is about to abut against the pin 133, but just previous to said holder abutting against said pin the anvil and punch are slightly raised to remove the punch 137 from the
- the die and its holder then stop, by reason of the holder abutting against the pin 133 and the punch and anvil continue their movement toward the left from the position illustrated in Fig. 10 ,until said punch is brought into alinement with a lacing hook held upon the lacing hook carrier 38.
- the presser foot now descends and clamps the upper to the work-suppor't.
- the punch' then remains stationary, together with the anvil, until the lacinghook carrier drives the lacing hook through the u per and clenches the same upon the anvi as hereinbefore' described.
- the punch remains in this position until it is withdrawn from the die, and as it is withdrawn the natural resiliency of the leather causes it'to spring" upwardly out of the depression formed by the location of the upper face of the dierelatively to the upper face of thework-support, so that the upper remains upon the punch during the latter part of” the feeding movement of the same, and the punch remains projecting through the upper to assist in guiding the shank of the lacing hook as it is driven by its ca rrier throughthe leather and clenched upon theanvil.
- the next step in the operation of the Ina-- chine is to slightly release" the anvil and punch, or move the same upwardly in order that there may be no pressure upon the top illustrated in Fig. 7.

e hopper to a raceway 27 formed of two lacing hooks slide upon the art 28 of the racewayand are held thereon y the art'29 which bears against the shanks of sai lacing hooks. The lowermost lacing hook 30 slides I down the raceway 27 untilit abuts against the stop 31 upon said raceway, and when in this position as illustrated in Fig. 4 and in Figs. 6 and 7, said lacing hook rests upon-a finger 32 forming a part of a lever 33 fast to a rock-shaft 34 journaled to rock ina bearing formed in the frame 20. The outer'en d of the rock-shaft 34 has an arm 35 fast thereto, to which is attached one end of a-spiral s ring 36, the other end of said spiral spring eing fastened to a pin fast to the frame 20. p The finger 32 alines with the part 28 of the racewry 27, so that as the lacing hooks slide down said raceway the lowermost lacing hook slides from the part 28 onto said fin er 32 and stops against the stop 31. Said acing hook is then in position to be fed down an auxiliary raceway 37 which terminates at its lower. end adjacent to a lacing hook carrier 38 (Fig. 8) when said lacing hook carrier is in its lowermost position. The lever 33 is tipped. to feed the lacing hook 30 held there on to the auxiliary raceway 37 by a lever 39, as shown in Fig. 8. Said lever 39 is fast to a rock-shaft 40 ournaled to rock in the frame 20-and having fastened to the outer end thereof an arm 41 (Fig. 1). The free end of the arm 41 is held by a spring 42 against the end of a cam slide 43 which consists of a rod 44 adapted to slide in a bracket 45 fast to the lever 39 in one direction, the spring 42 rocking said lever in the opposite direction. The upper end of the lever 39 projects between the two plates 50-and 51 (which form the auxiliary raceway 37) when said lever is ped to its forward position, asillust-rated ig. 6, so that a lacing hook resting upon the lacing hook-carrier 38. The acinghook carrier 38 is pivoted at 52 to a slide 53, said slide beingpreferably cylindrical in form and Fterminating'in an ear53 at its. lower end, to
which 1s p votally attached by means of a pin 54 a link 55. The .lower'endof the link 55 is connected by a which, in turn, is ivoted at its lower end to a pin 58 fast to t e'bed-plate 21. The pin addition to connecting the links 55 and. 57 to eachother, connects said pins to a cam slide "59 to which'a reciprocato imparted b cam 61. he recipr'ocatory motion impartedto the cam slide 59 imparts a vertical reciprocatory motion to the slide ,53 through motion is the links 55 and 57, (Figs. land 3).
The lacing hook carrier 38 consists of a lever 62 provided with a recess .63 in its upper end adapted to receivethe head of a lacmg hook and a plate 64 rigidly fastened to said lever and projecting over said recess,
The plate 64 projects into the s ace between the head and the shank of't e lacing hook, the end of said plate which projects over said recess-being preferably provided with a slight depression 63 to receive the neck of, the lacing book. The carrier 38 is connected'by a s ring 65 to a screw 66 fast to a cap 67, sai cap being adjustably fastened to the frame 20.
' The u per end of the slide 53 is forked at 68 and the lacing hook carrier plays between said forks 68, 68, thus eral movement of said acing hook carrier relatively to the slide 53. Lpon each side of the lacing hook carrier 38 are lateral projections 69, curved upon their under side and adapted to rest upon the forks 68, 68, so that when the pressure of setting the hook, hereinafter described, is brought to bear upon the plate 64, said pressure will be transmitted not upon the ivot 52 but upon the forks 68, 68, thus supp ying a solid foundation for the pin 56. toa link 57,
a cam roll 60whic engages a preventing any lat-c lacing hook carrier during the setting operation of the lacing hook. 'A pin 70 is fast to the lacing hook carrier 38 and 'projects'laterally from opposite sides thereof, being adapted to contact with the front edges of the forks 68, 68 when the lacing hook carrier is in the position illustrated in Fig. 6, or when itis in the position of setting the hook against the anvil.
. The lacing hook carrier 38 is locked to the slide 53 when the same is in the position illustrated in Figs. 6 and 8 by a stop 71, which is movable relatively to said slide and is preferably cylindrical in shape to fit a cylindrical bore in said slide. I The upper end of the stop 71 has a tooth 72 thereon which side of the carrier lever 62. he stop 7]. is
held upwardly by a spirals ring 73', one end of which bears against the ower end of said stopythe other end bearin against a screwthreaded'shank 74 integra with the'ear 53.
All arm 75 is rigidly fastened to the stop .71 and projects laterally therefromfithroug At a certain time in the oration of-the machine, as, hereinafter descri ed, the arm 75 is movedv a slot 76 formed in the slide 53.
downwardly, together with the stop 71 to which it'is attached, by the short arm 77 of the lever 39. Said shortarm is provided with a friction roll 78 which contacts with the upper surface of said arm 75, and as said lever rocked, pushes therarm 75 downwardly thus lowering the stop or locking piece 71 until the tooth 72 is disengaged from the tooth73, and the spring 65 then acts as illustrated in Fig. 7,\to rock the lacing hook carrier u on its pivot 52, withdrawing the plate 64 floih the lacing hook which'at that time is held-in the stock, and pulling the lacing hook" carrier downwardly until the front ed e thereof rests against a roll 79 journale vto rotate upon a pin'80 fast to the he Jpperation of feeding the hook along the au 'iary raceway onto the lacing. hook carrier and of setting the hook inthe stock by means of said carrier in cooperation with 'the anvil and punch is as follows: Ashereinbefore set forth, the lacing hookdescends theraceway 27 until it comes to .a stop against the stop 31. "At that time the lowermost lacing hook 30 rests upon the finger 32 which forms a part of the lever 33 and pro,- jects between two sides 50 and 51 of the auxiliary. raceway 37 Assuming the parts to be in the position illustrated in Fig. 6, the lever 39 will be rocked from the position shownin Fig. 6 to that shown in Fig. '7, the rocking of said lever being accomplished by means of the rockshaft 40, rocker-arm 41, cam slide 43 and cam 49 (see Fig. 1). During this rocking of .the lever 39, the short arm 7 7, with its roll 78, forces the arm 75 and stop 71 downwardly, disengaging the tooth 72 from the tooth 73, thus unlocking the lever 62 and allowing the spring to rock the lacinghook carrier upon its pivot 52 into the position illustrated in Fig. 7, with the front edge of the lever 62 resting against the roll 79. The slide 53 now descends, be-
" ing moved downwardly by the links 55 and 57, cam slide 59 and cam 61 to the position illustrated in Fig. 8. As the slide 53 moves downwardly, the front edge of the lever 62 bears against the roll 79, which is affixed to a stationary piece, viz, the cap 67, so that the lever 62 or the lacing hook carrier 38 is rocked upon its pivot 52 to the position illustrated in Fig.-'8-that is, with t 1e plate'64 in alinement with the lower end of the auxiliary raceway 37, in readiness to have a hook pushed thereon by the lever 39. At the last trated in Fig. 6.
order to unlock the lacing hook carrier,
when desired, independently of the operation of the machine, such a device being convenient in cases where an imperfect lacing hook becomes jammed upon the carrier and interferes with the operation of the machine.
The material into which the lacing hooks are to be set, via, the upper 81, rests upon the cap 84 of the work-support 85 fast to the frame of the machine. The upper is fed along the upper surface of said work-support, or the cap thereof, by a feed-point 137 which projects below the clenching surface of the anvil 82. The anvil 82 is adj ustably fastened to an anvil carrier-frame 87 which consists of a vertical shaft 88 constructed to slide in bearings 89 and 90 formed upon the frame of the machine and an arm 91 rigidly fastened to said shaft. The anvil 82 has screw-threaded adjustment in and is supported directly upon the arm 91 to which it is clamped by a screw 92.
A vertical motion is imparted to the. carrier frame 87 by a cam lever 93 pivoted at 94 to the frame of themachine and having rotatably mounted thereon a cam roll 95 which engages a cam 96. The cam lever 93 is connected to the shaft 88 by screws 97 fast to a collar 98. Said cam lever is bifurcated at the free end thereofand each arm of said bifurcated end has a slot 99 formed therein,
each of said slots having. a sliding block 100 located therein. Each of the-screws- 97 is fast to the collar 98 and extends through one of said sliding block's, respectively, sothat the same are free to rock thereon. The collar 98 is loosely mounted upon the shaft 88,- ,so that said shaft is free to rock in said collar ings 89 and 90, while at the same time it may be rocked in said bearings and this rocking motlon is imparted to the shaft 88 and to the arm 91 by a slide 103 arranged to slide in bearings 104, 105 formed upon the frame 20. The front end of said slide 103, or the left hand end (Fig. 3) is slotted at 106 to receive a sliding block 107 which is rotatably mounted upon a stud' 108 fast to an arm 109 which is integral with the arm 91. A reciprocatory motion is imparted to the slide 103 by a link 110, pivotally connected at one end at 115 to said slide and at the other end to a stud 111. The stud 111 may be clamped by the handle nut 112 to a lever 113, said stud projectin' through a curved slot 114 concentric with t e center of the pivot 115. The lever 113 is pivoted at 116 to the frame 20 and has a rocking motion imparted thereto by a camslide 117 actuated by a cam 118 fast to-the main shaft 22, said cam slide being pivotally connected to the lower end of the lever 113.
The upper 81 is pressed against the worksupport 85 by a presser foot 119 which is fastened to a vertical rod 120 (Fig. 1) adapted to slide in a bearing 121 formed in the frame 20, and in a bearing 122 formed in the base 21. A collar 123 is fast to the rod 120 intermediate the bearings 121 and 122 and a spring 124 encircles the rod 120 and holds the presser foot 119 normally pressed against the upper surface of the work support85, or against the upper which rests upon said work-support. The presser foot is moved upwardly away from the work-support by means of a lever 125 pivoted at 126 to the frame of the 7 machine and having a cam-roll 127 rotatably supported thereon and bearing against the periphery ofthe cam 96. The right hand end o'f the lever 125 (Fig. 1) bears against the.
under side of the collar 123 and the cam 96 is provided upon its periphery with a rise or open cam path 128, whereby, in the rotation of the machine, the presser foot at certain intervals in the cycle of operations, 'is raised by the cam away from the work-support for the purpose of allowing the upper to be fed, as hereinafter described. If the operator desires to raise the presser foot, independent of the operation of the machine, in order to insert or remove an upper'therefrom, he presses upon the treadle (not shown in the drawings) connected by a rod 129 and hook 130 to the lever 125.
The work-support 85 has a curved groove 131 therein concentric with the axis of the vertical shaft 88 and in said curved groove is located a curved slide or die holder 132. Said slide is normally held in contact with a stoppin 133 by a spiral spring 134 located also in said groove 131, one end thereof bearing against said slide and the other end against the work-support. A die 135 is fastened to the die holder 132 and has a hole 136 ext-ending vertically therethrough which is adapted to aline at certain times during the operation of the machine, as hereinafter described, with a projection 137, constituting a punch, which extends downwardly from the anvil 82. T he cap 84 is fast to thework-support and extends over the top of the die holder 132-as illustrated in Fig. 5. The die holder. 132 has an arm 138 thereon (see Figs. 4 and 5) with upwardly projecting ears 139 adapted to be clamped upon an adjusting screw 140 by a clamp screw 141. I
A stud 142 is rigidly fastened to the anvil carrier frame 87 and forms, in effect, a portion thereof, said stud being adapted to abut against the screw 140 when the anvil carrier frame is moving toward the right (Fig.4), thus moving the die holder and die toward the right against the action of the spring 134.
The start and stop clutch motion for'the machine is subst-antiallythe same as that described in said Letters Patent No. 855,497.
.Suitable gages are used to assist the operator in placing the upper in correct location to be punched and fed by the anvil punch.
The front edge gage 143 is shown in Fig. 4,
against which the operator places the front edge of the upper, said front gage being adjustably fastened to the work-support by means of a screw 144 which projects through a slot in the gage 143 and has screw-threaded engagement with the work-support 85.
The general operation of the mechanism hereinbefore specifically described is as follows: The operator places the upper upon "the work-support 85 in the position illus trated by dotted lines (Fig. 4) when a right hand upper is to have a lacing hook set therein, with the front edge of said upper bearing against the front edge gage 143. He then places his foot upon the clutch treadle-which throws the driving pulley intO. clutch with the main driving 'or cam shaft, rotating said shaft and depressing the anvil with its punch projection 137 thereon. This downward motion of the punch is obtained by the anvil carrier frame 87 and the vertical shaft 88, to which it is rigidly fastened, being moved downwardly by the lever 93 and its cam 96. The punch 137 is thus forced through the upper and into the hole 1.36 in the female die 135. as illustrated in Fig. 9. The p'resser'foot is then released to allow the upper to feed and said upper is then fed by the punch 137'. said punch, be-
hole 136 (Fig. 10).
ing of the anvil carrier frame 87. The anvil carrierframe is then rocked from the right toward the left (Fig. 3) by the slide 103, link 110, lever 113, cam slide 117 and cam 118. As the punch feeds the upper toward the left (Fig. 1). or toward the lacing hook carrier, the die 135 slides, together with the holder 132, in the curved groove 131 until said die holder arrives at a point where it is about to abut against the pin 133, but just previous to said holder abutting against said pin the anvil and punch are slightly raised to remove the punch 137 from the The die and its holder then stop, by reason of the holder abutting against the pin 133 and the punch and anvil continue their movement toward the left from the position illustrated in Fig. 10 ,until said punch is brought into alinement with a lacing hook held upon the lacing hook carrier 38. The presser foot now descends and clamps the upper to the work-suppor't. The punch' then remains stationary, together with the anvil, until the lacinghook carrier drives the lacing hook through the u per and clenches the same upon the anvi as hereinbefore' described.
By reference to Figs. 9 and 13 it will be seen that when the punch first penetrates the upper it passes entirely therethroughand projects s ightly below the lower surface of said upper, while the anvil crowds the upper downwardly against the upper surface of the diewhich is located beneath the upper surface of the cap of the Worksupport (see Fig. 13). The punch remains in this position until it is withdrawn from the die, and as it is withdrawn the natural resiliency of the leather causes it'to spring" upwardly out of the depression formed by the location of the upper face of the dierelatively to the upper face of thework-support, so that the upper remains upon the punch during the latter part of" the feeding movement of the same, and the punch remains projecting through the upper to assist in guiding the shank of the lacing hook as it is driven by its ca rrier throughthe leather and clenched upon theanvil.
The next step in the operation of the Ina-- chine is to slightly release" the anvil and punch, or move the same upwardly in order that there may be no pressure upon the top illustrated in Fig. 7.
of the lacing-hook carrier to prevent said lacing hook carrier from being withdrawn from the lacing hook by the" spriiig tl tijas The punch, however, is not withdrawn entirely' froin the lacing hook, but is left projecting into the holloWf shank thereof, as illustrated in Fig. 12,'s0 as to hold said lacing hook against the pull of the lacing hook carrier when being withdrawn therefrom by the=spring 65, as illustrated in Fig. 7. I i
' The operation of the,lacing'hook carrier adapted to rock said carrier on said slide, a
and slide to which it is attached, as well as the means by which the lacing hookis fed from the main raceway to the auxiliary raceway and onto said lacing hook carrier have been fully hereinbefore described. The 7 operation of setting the lacing hook is timed in such a manner that the lacing hook isset, as hereinbefore described, as soon as, the upper has been fed into proper position, with the punch and anvil in alinement with a lacing hook upon the lacing hook carrier. Afterv the lacing hook carrier has freed itself from the lacing hook, the punch rises and returns to its former position, ready to be depressed and perform again the cycle of operations hereinbefore described. Assoon as the desired number of lacing hooks have been set in the upper, the operator releases the clutch treadle and the machine comes to a stop and the operator removes the upper from the machine.
