IMPROVED Priceline-MACH INE.

Specification forming part o1 Lett-ers Patent by a movement of the awl when it is connected with a head so hung as to conform to the surface eurvatures of the sole; and its object is to secure perfect and uniform pegging round short curves or otherwise. This is attained by a combination of the vibrating awl, when used as a feeding-instrument, with sliding swinging head, which supports the pegging mechanism and presents it properly to the work; and also relates to the methods of operating the awl-bar and the peg-driver bar and their positions.

ln the drawing, A is a casting, which forms a bead orsupport for the pegging mechanism. lthas pivots D, by which it is hung in slides or ways y y, in which the pivots or axes B B can move up and down, so that it can swing as well as slide, (or it may be made to slide sidcwise as well as up and down.)

(l is a cam-shaft connected to a drivingwheel by ajointlink or otherwise, which will permit the various movements oi" the head while it rotates the camshaft. l

Il) (shown by red lilies) is the cam by which the awlbar E is raise(14 F (shown by blue lines) is the cani which gives the awl-bar its sidewise movement.

G (shown by black lilies) is the cam which lifts the peg-driver bar ll. rlhc downward movement of@v eawl and peg-driver is given by the' contraiI ion ot' suitable springs, s s', when by the rotation of the cams the projec tions from the bars are allowed to fall from These springs are attached by one ,end to A. The awl and pegdrivermay be driven'down by means of cams or Weights acting ashammers. The pins `a a,

acting on the inelinedp'sl'ots in the peg-driver during its verticaln'icvelnent, give it' aside wisc. movement ,scrthctjfnhle @W1-ber. Willing No. 65,294, dated May 28, 1867 January 14, 1868.

; Reissue No. 2,833, dated interfere withit, and so that inthe last portion of its rise itvwill act on thelever b, which acts on the catch c,-andlibe rates the peg-tube d when the spiral spring e draws 'it to the positien shown in the drawing, or the lever b and catch o may be dispensed with, and the lever i be divided into two parts,`pivcted together at m, and the lower partpivoted to the frame at n, in which case the depression of the bent part ot' lever 'i by the pin h will cause the lower part at i to move the knife-bar j to the lei't and cut the peg, and the spring k will return it after it has done its duty. The awl will strike through the peg-tube carrier d throughor to the left of the peg-tube as it descends, and as it moves laterally it will carry the peg-tube to the right. 'The with drawal ol the awl will liberate the peg-`tube e and allow the spring e to draw it to its proper position i'or the action of the peg-driver. The

awl-bar E is guided in its rise and fall by the-` pinsfj', fitting in slots therein. These pins are fixed in a sliding frame, which is guided by suitable ways formed inthe head. Another pin, g, iixcd in the same frame, projects from it into 'the cam F, whiehin itsrotation by the means described givesv the sid'ewise or feed ing movement of the awl. The pin h acts on the bent lever fi, which actuatcs the hnifej,

by which the pegs are split from the peg-wood.-

The' spring It also acts on the lever/i to return it to the position it occupied before the-pin h moved it. The pegtnbe d is secured to the head by suitable slides and ways, and is brought forward by the forward sidewise movement of the awl when it feeds the work, so that the recess cut therein for the reception ot' the peg when cut from the wood, and through or into whichthe awl and peg-driver pass, will be in the place indicated. by red.

lines. In this movement of d it will raise'the catch or latch c, which is so arranged that a' spring, l, will throw the latch c down, holdingthe peg-tube again st the action of the spring e during the driving 0f thepeg, and untlj the peg-driver is raisednearly to-J'ts 'full height.

per ends of the aWl and dri\' crb'ars,or in any way fit for their purposes.

The order of driving a peg is anfollows; Promising that the cam' D is nearly in the position shown in the drawing, rotation of the shaft C censos the an). to come down through the peg-tube into the Work. It is then moved forward by the cani F, then raised by the opl eration ofthe cam D, and ithen moved back Y sidewise by the cani F. During these opera.

tions the pin h has fithdrawn the knife and held it until the peg-wood was'forced into the tube, when, the pin rotating on or beyond .the lever i, the knife jis brought forward, split.-`
