T9 all whom it ma concern: v i Be itknown that JOHN JAMES GREEN- f OUGHH, of the city, county, and State of New I York,`have obtained Letters Patent 'of the United States,dated the 17th day ot"- January, 1854,for' several inventions-in sh oe-pcgging'mal chinery, which I now desire to separate and i to have reissued to mein several distinct pati ents; and I do hereby declare and ascertain I one of mysaid inventions contained in said h Letters `Patent, referring t0` the accompany- ,l ing drawings, iuwhch- Figure lis a perspective view ot' the machine; Fig. '2, a. vertical. section Fig. 2", en- 3 Fig. 3, front view; Fig. 4, cutters. I My improvement, which I hereby desire t0 secure, is for the purpose of fastening the soles ofboots .and lshoes with .wire nails4 or pegs ofv metal cut. from a coil of drawn wire ;4

and it consists of a-mode ot' forming` and driving them, combined with any convenient way of holding` the boot or shoe, and moving itin the same direction that the line of pegs is driven.

1n Fig. 1, a ai is the frame; b, thev peggingstandard; c, the arm ofthe standard that holds the slide in which the pegging apparatus plays; a2 a, parts for holding" the boot. or shoe. v

All the abovcna|ned parts may be formed in any convenient known way proper for the purpose. Y

`For forming and driving the pegs I use a i wire drawn to the figure the cross-section ot' l thel peg is to le. The end of the wire, after j passing an ordinary straightening apparatus, .l that may also be used to hohl it from rising, r

, I convey down through a. .hole in a sliding i gate at ze, in which there isa pair of cutting nippers, attached to the gate. Onejaw, i ot' these nippeis is movable, and its sha-nk extends up to the eccentric or cam that moves 5 the gate up and down. The pivot on which i this jaw vibratcs and the upper endl ofthe i shank are forced outward t'o close the jaws t of the cutting-nippers by a camk, or other suitable attachment, turning with the drivingshaft, or situated at 'some other convenient l point to produce the proper action.

above specified.

dated April 2c, 1859.

The operation ot' this apparatus is as folnot to rise with-it, whilethe jaws of the cutter slide over the lower end4 ot' the wire until it projects `t'ar enough belowtheirylower edge for the due length ot' the wire and cut into it sufficiently to take a. firm hold of' it withoutcutling off or materially vweakening it. lThe gate then descendsA with a rapid movement, carrying the Wire down and'driving it into the sole or otherin which there may or may net article below, have been a hole made to receive it. When the wire pegis Liven home, the cutters are entirely cut oil'.

.forceda.-little closer -together,and the. wire als.

Thet'orm of the cutters is designed to sharpen or point the end of the wire that is to be driven in at the next operation, making a. chisel t'orm point, so as -to enter'the leatheror other ma.- terial readily.l The cutters then reopen by a spring or other device, and rise above the end ofthe wire far enough to scize'it again for making the next peg. y

. It is obvious that the precise mechanism" here described may have other 'devices substituted for'it'- such, for instance, as cutting 01T the peg or wire and then driving it through a tube with a punch-but@ believe this to be the simplest device t'or the purpose and ot' easy construction.

Having thus fully described my improvement in the pcgging of soles of boots andv what. I claim therein, and deshoes with meta-l, sire to secure by Letters Patent, `is

1. The pegging ot' boots and shoes with nails or pegs .of `drawn 2. Driving the pegsby means o't the cutting nippers, said nippers cutting oft the peg,
