WELT-DRESSING MACHINE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnonon R.C1mns MAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Auburn, in the county of Cayuga and State of New York, have invented. certain new and. useful Improvements in l/Velt- Dressing Machines; and. I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will onable others skillcdin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in welting machines, and the object in view is to produce .a simple and efficient apparatus of this nature whereby a unifornrgroiwe and l'iev'ellniay be formed u pon awelt, and more specifically comprising flexible adjusting means, making it possible to cut 'welts which may be unefi en, or of a spongy nature in places.

The invention consists in various details of construction'and combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and then; specifically defined in the appended claims.

through a pipe of suitable size, which are recessed into the frame on either side and serve to hold .the frame true and acts as a washer to hold the standards proper distance apart.

J ournaled in suitable bearings in the standards of the frameis a shaft 0 to which is fixed a polling .wheel C, the circumference of a paper composition or may e of any suitable fibrous nature, and is adapted to bear against the finished face of the welt as it isfed frictionally between the two rollers.

Mounted in threaded apertures in the table B are the adjusting screws E, the ends of which bear against the cross piece E, between which and the boxin s D the coiled springs E are mounted.- Inounted upon each of the screws E and jam nut E is adapted to bear against. the upper surface of the table, as shown, whereby the tension upon the s rings E may be regulated to causethe whee D to bear with more or less friction against the welt which is to be 'fed between the two rollers O and D.

Rising from the table is a late F which has a laterally pro3ecting shel G over which the .we-lt is fed throu h the grooved way G, as shown clearly in 3 of the drawin s. Fixed to saidshelf is'a plate H which is he d in place bymeans of a screw H. The under surface of the plat H. is rovided with a groove which 'regisfers wit i the groove in saidshelf. .A. ,caseihardened steel plate G is'dovatailed in the groove G- formed in the shelfand the uppersurface of said late G is flush with the upper'surface of t e shelf and upon which stri the welt is supported asit is-fed over the s elf to be acted upon by the roovi knife. l

Tge shoe is mounted upon an adjustable bear stud -L which passes through an aperture 1n the plate F, as shown clear 7 in 8 of the drawings, saidfshoe bei held-1p.

;-.-through a grooye formed in abuse: NC-which lilo is; integral with the shoe and an annular groove J 2 formed in the circumference of said stud. Said shoe is provided with .a recess N cut in from the under edge thereof and adapted to receive a knife holding carriage N which is grooved upon its outer'face and adapted to receive the knife I which is clamped to the carriage by means of the late N, the

- lower edge of which is diagona y dis osed and beveled and held in clamped re ation 'a'inst the outer face of said knife by means a a of the screw N shown clearly in Fig. 3 of the drawings, Fixed to said carriage 1s a screw N whichextends up through an aperture in the shoe N and has an adjusti nut N mounted upon its threaded end an adapted to bear against the top of the shoe whereby,

as said nut is moved 1n onedirection orthe other, the carriage and the knife I mounted. thereon maybe raised and lowered as may be desired.

Referring to'Figs: 1 and 4 of the drawin s will be seen a lever 0 having a stud O whio is journaled in an aperture in said .plate- F,

andO designates an eccentric forming apart of said boss,-whic'heccentric is adapted-to contact with 'thecurved wall of the recess formed in the reariface of" .the shoe, whereby, as said lever is raised or lowered, the oarria e may also be raised and lowered therewit 1. A coiled spring 0 is fastened at one end to the frame and its other end is fixed to a In 0 projecting from the shoe, the office of w ich spring is to nofmall hold the shoe:

at its lowest limit and allow t e shoe to yield if desired. Fixed to the bottom of the shoe and projectin laterally therefrom is a plate L having. an e ongated slot L formed therein and through which the grooving-knife I is o' sitioned, and in which said knife is adjusta l'e vertically by the raising carriage carryi the same;

Referring to igs. 4-and 5. ofpthe drawings. will be seen a'tubular casing K carrying abeveling knife K, detail of which is shown in Fig. 9 of the drawings, which knife is held in an adjusted position by means of the wedge-shaped members K and K shown in Fig. 7 of the drawings. Said member. K

has a screw K secured thereto and has mounted upon the outer threaded end thereof a swiveled' nut K with an annular groove K therein mounted in a bearing in the yoke K shownclearly in Figs. 4'and 5 of the drawings. The heveling knife is held prefbevel upon the welt. Mounted upon said after receiving its" and lowering of the shelf is a studM having a sprin M fixed at one end thereof and its other en fastened to the frame of the apparatus and M is a plate which is fastened to said stud M and rests upon 'thfenpper surface of said shelf. The under surface of said plate M near its forward end, is recessed and is adapted to receive a plate M having a handle. M therewith. The two plates M and M are held'together by means of a pivot screw M The inner edge of the plate M is recessed and its wallforms a portion of the wall of the. groovedway through which the welt is fed. m designates a stop which is mounted upon the shelfand against which the handle M is adapted 'to contact to limit the movement of the plate toward the grooving knife. The two lates M and M therefore form the gage integral.

mec anism which will yield to allow the a paratus to conform to irregularities int c edges of the welt and, by the yielding adjustment of the shoe carrying the knife, provision is madefor allowin the grooving knife to be raisedor lowere to conform to irregularities in the surfaces of the welt,

thereby produci erally and verticaly to conform to various thicknesses ofswelt, and which adjusting means form an essential part of 'thepresent invention.

Mounted uponlthe shaft- S journaled in flexible means, both latsuitable bearings upon the frame of the apparatus is a roller .8 over which the. welt, de lgnated by letter T, is adapted 'to travel roove and having an edge thereof beveled.

preferably-passed through the grooved way Said welt, whieh is i 111 the plate H with its finished face lo vn-' ward, passes over the roller S, thence do mwardly'and thr/oughthe two rollers-f" and where a pulling force is frictionally) upon the welt causing thesarneto e drawn over the shelf where the grooving and beveling is effected. It will be noted that, the roughened surface of the wel-t is resented t6 the corrugated surface of. the roller 0, while the upper or finished surface "of the .welt' comes 1n. contact with the circumference fof the-roller D, which is preferably-ofa fibrous material andwill not have a tendency to Inar the welt.

Fixed to'the shaft C are the pulleys W and W the fofiner of which is mountedidlyupon the shaft and the other is fired thereto and suitable belted connection may be had with said pulleys for operating-the apparatus.

The ,operation of the invention willbe" readily understbod and is as follows':-The-' the grooved wayand over the' roller S and assed between he Wheels Cand Dis pulled the welt at a ration; where the groove is to welt to be passed ovef the shelf and'through be formed in the upper surface thereof and. the beveling knife adjusted so that the proper bevel to one corner of the welt will he made In the event of the welt varying in width or having irregular portions, the yielding gage plates will cause the welt to he held in proper position to receive the grooving adjacent to the opposite edge thereof. By the mechanism. shown and described, the wheel will be adj ustahly held so that, when the welt is drawn between the two Wheels, it will he slightly out of contact with the corrugated Wheel and, by the provision of the supporting knife carrying shoe, the grooving knife may be adjusted in order to cut the groove at the proper distance from the edge-of the welt.

While I. have shown and described inmy apparatus the grooving and heveling knives supon the top of the machine, they may, if desired, be placed at various locations in order to allow the welt to pass direct from the groover to the rollers, and other variations of my invention may be made Without In any way departing from the principle involve-d.
