Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 27,008, dated January 31, 1860; Reissue No. 2,531, dalcdMarelr 26, 1867; extended Januar 3 1874 Reissue N0. 85))3. dated October 7, 1879; application filed August To all whom may concern.- I

Be'it known that IIERMAN SALOSHINSKY, of Boston, in the county of Sufiolh, in the State of Massachusetts, invented an Improved Machine for Attaching Ilecls to Boots and Shoes and for finishing the some, of which the following is a. full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, making part of this specification, in which-- Figure l is a perspective view of the ma. chine. .Fig. 2 is a section taken through a hoot or shoe and a. part-of the machine, showing the boot or shoe and parts of the machine in position in readiness for the nails to be driven into the heel. Fig. 3 is a. perspective view of the a 'iparatus for trimming the heel, detached from the rest of the machine. Figs. 4 and 5 details to he referred to hereinafter.

The objects of this invention are to iuciiitute and cheapen the fastening of heels to boots, and shoes, and the forming of the curvilinear outline of the heels when fastened to boots-or And said invention consists, first, in such an organization and arrangement of parts as will operate together to drive simultaneously several nails from the inside of a boot or shoe through the sole thereof into the heel,'for the purpose of uniting the heel to the boot or. shoe effectively, expeditiously, and with great neatncss; second, in such an organization and arrangement; of parts as to combine in one machine means for nailing or pegging a heel to the sole of aboot o1 shoe, and means which form the curvilinear outline of the heel, by causing the heel to turn with reference to thelknife, oi the knife with reference to the bee In the said drawings, A is the bed of the machine, which is securedto a suitable bench or table so that the end a projects over the edge of it.

From this bed rises the frame B, to which is pivoted at I: an eccentric-cam, O, operated by a, lever, I), this cam serving, when thrown over by the lover I), to depress a bar, E, which slides up and down on ways on the frontpart, c, of the frame 13, to which it is secured by a screw, d, and slot- 0.

A spring, f, attached to the top of the frame 13, serves to raise the bar 1' r A red, F, is attached to the part c of the frame B, the screw d passing through it, and

the her 1) embracing and sliding over it.

To the lower end of this red F is attached a nail-rcceiving block, Ur, which is screwed onto the end of therod, and is prevented from turning by a small screw, 5, passing through it, as shown in Fig. 2.

This block G is of" a. form and size corresponding with the heel of the boot to beeper ated on, and has in it a. series of holes, 6, made vertieaity through it to receive the nails 7, Fig. 2, which are to be driven through the sole of the boot into the heel.

The block G is turned or shaped to corre spondwith the shape ofthe end of the heel, and the holes Gmade through it vertically near its periphery accord in shape with a heel-lift, so as to hold the series of nails in such position with relation to the heel as to be driven into it at, uniform distances from its edge.

As the sizes of the boots-vary, this block G may he changed.

A piece .of sheet-rubber, h, secured to the lower side of the nail-receiving block G, acts as a holder to sustain the nails by their points until they are to be driven to unite the heel and shoe.

.The holes in It close sufficiently to prevent the nails 7 from dropping out, but open or yield to let them be forced through at the proper time, as required.

The lower end of the bar E is cut away, and its sides are dovetailed to correspond with a. mortise, 8, in a block, H, Fig. 2, and shown detached in Fig. 4, which is slipped on fi'om one side of the bar, and is preventedfrom falling by the dovetailed tenon. This block has projecting from its lower side a series of pins, 9,

correspondingin'nnnlbcr and position with therefrom.

the holes 6 in the nail-reoeivingblock G. Another hlock, I, Fig. 1, of the same form as the block H, also fits the tenon on the end of the bar E, and is intended to be used alternately with the block H, it carrying a series of long pins or awls, I0, intended 'to punch holes through the sole and heel for the reception of thenails 7, as shown in the heel J at 11,Fig. 2. A rest, K, for the support of the boot is at tached at 12 to the top of a shaft, L, which passes up through the bed A, and is raised as required, to compress the heel of the boothstween the rest and block G, and to hold the heel firmly against the sole while beingoperated upon and being nailed.

The com pressing device (shown as a cam, M,) is "pivoted to the front of the bed A, alongside of the shaft L, and is turned by a long lever, N. This cam, acting against the lower end of the shaft L as the cam is turned, raises the shaft and the rest K, firmly and very powerfully compressing and clamping the heel and sole together.

A spline 'S, Fig. 2, on the shaft L prevents its turning around..- The triniming-hniieoperating lever 0 (shown detached in Fig. 3) is pivoted at 13 on the shaft L, and is free to be swung around horizontally by a handle, Z, at the outer end of it. This lever carries the knife P, for trimming and shaping the heel.

The position orinclination of thishniie is adjusted in the following manner to give the required inclination or novel to the edge of the heel: A vertical post, Q, is pivoted to the top of the lever U, and at Ll. to a stud, m, rising An arm, 92, projects horizontally from the post Q, and carries at its outer end a block, 0', which is pivoted at 15 to the arm a. 0n the upper part of the post Q is a block, 39, the face 18 of which is rounded oft, as shown in Fig. 5, so that a horizontal time, R which is attached to it by screws 16, may rock over the rounded face of the block n as the said arm is adjusted by tightening one and loosening the other of the screws. This alters the position of the arm R with respect to the arm a. A block, 1', which has attached to its face the knife P, is pivoted in the block 0 and in the end of the arm B. As the relative positions of the arms a and R are changed, the inclination of the block 1 will be varied to give the required slope or bevel to the heel J. A. spring, t, secured at 17 to the lever U, presses the arm n and the knife I? in toward the heel. The lever (J and parts connected. therewith are raised with the shaft L and rest K. I

The following is the operation of the ma chine. The boot S (shown in dotted lines Fig.

1, and in section Fig.2) is placed upon the rest K, with the heel J 'inits place. The lever N is turned, when the 'cam M raises the shaft L and rest K and compresses the heel J against the bottom of the sole of the boot, and the inside of the sole against the block G. The 11-- der 'side of the block G is rounded to give the proper form to or conform to thoinside of the heel of the boot.

A block, G, of the proper form and size having been secured to the rod F, and the block I being in place, as shownin Fig. 1, the lever D is thrown over, and the eccentric (Jdeprcsses the bar E and drives the awls 10 down through the holes 6, through the sole v of the boot, and

into the heel J, penetrating nearly through the heel, making the holes 11.. The lcverD is then thrown back, when the spring f lifts the bar E and draws out the awls 10. The block it is now removed, and the block H, Fig. 4, is slipped onto the end of the bar E in place of it. The nails 7 are droppedinto the hole 6 in the block G. The lever D is again thrown over, when the pins 9 drive all the nails down into the heel at one operation. While the boot is still securely held in place the lever O is swung round horizontally, and. the knife P, which is pressed. againstthe heel by the spring t, trims oii'a-ud shapes the heel as required.

The above machine nails on the heel of a boot or shoe and finishes it oil, completing the operation at one time in the same machine without the lossof time which would result from havingto change the boot from one machine to another.
