Title: Improvements in or relating to Jacks for Boot and Shoe Lasts.
Inventor: PLANT THOMAS GUSTAVE
Filed: 1908-11-11
Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 24,193. Plant, T. G. Nov. 11. Heeling; last-holders.-A jack for boot and shoe lasts is provided with means to prevent a wooden last from splitting when under pressure, and also with means enabling transverse adjustment of the last while allowing the position of the back seam to remain stationary. The last pin 6 is fixed in a carriage 7, which is dovetailed into a head 8 so that the rake of the last pin may be varied, the centre of the heel seat being the approximate point around which adjustment is made. The head 8 is pivoted at 9 to a post-cap 10 so that it may swing about an axis approximately coincident with the back seam of a shoe on the last. A screw 13 in the head 8 is adapted to clamp the carriage 7 when adjusted, and co-operates with stop-surfaces in the post-cap 10 to limit the swing of the last about the pivot 9. To prevent wooden lasts from splitting under heeling or other pressure, thereby enabling iron lasts to be dispensed with during heeling, the carriage 7 has separable members 15 which embrace the last-pin 6. These have crowned heads and bevelled inner surfaces which engage the crown of the last. Interlocking tongues and pins preserve alinement, and a spring 20 draws the membars together. Pressure upon the heel seat forces the last between the bevelled jaws 15, which separate to give it a firm bearing. The pressure is balanced mainly by the frictional contact of the underside of these jaws with the surface of the carriage 7, so compensating automatically for the splitting forces. The Specification also describes the application of the invention to a heel-attaching machine of known type.
