Filed: 1910-05-21
Granted: 1911-05-22
Abstract: 8959. Jones, J. J. May 21, 1910. Thinning - machines. - In a machine for singling roots, oscillating knives are driven by special change gearing and are adjustably mounted on special frames adapted to be guided automatically by rollers running on the ridges. Each pivoted knife 9, Fig. 2, is driven from a crank-wheel 7 by an adjustable connecting-rod 10. The spur-wheel 7 is driven from the ridge roller 1, Fig. 1, by bevel-gearing 4, shaft 5, and spur-wheels 6, 8. The speed is varied by changing the gear-wheels 6 and adjusting the intermediate wheel 8. The pivot-pin of the knife 'J is adjustable vertically in a slot by means of a bar 18, lever 19, and quadrant 20. Each sing- ling-knife is carried by a frame comprising two transverse bars 16 and two longitudinal bars 15, through which the axle 2 passes. These frames are movable laterally relatively, to the main frame 3, and are guided along the ridges by the rollers 1, which are of the kind described in Specification 12,390/10. Rollers may be mounted on the ends of the bars 15 to facilitate lateral movement. According to the Provisional Specification, the singling-knife may be secured in its adjustable position by means of a nut on the pivot-pin.

Abstract: 25,273. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Nov. 4. Connecting uppers to insoles and soles.-In making a stitch-down boot or shoe, a space A, Fig 7, is provided between the insole 5 and the sole 17 into which the upper is forced so as to underlie the edge of the insole, the upper being secured by fastening-devices, such as staples 32, inserted in this angle and into the sole 17. This space is formed by bevelling the edge 4 of the last, and bending the insole down flush with this edge; the marginal portion of the insole may also be bevelled. The invention is described as applied to a welted shoe in which the marginal portion of the upper is out-turned at the forepart and shank, and inturned at the heel, the upper being slit at 18, 20, Fig. 5, at the forward end of the heel. An upper 10, lining 12, toe stiffener 42, and counter 16, are assembled on a last to which a prepared insole 5 is tacked, and the lining 12, which is notched at the toe portion 14, is then cemented down on to the insole, after which the heel end of the upper is turned in and lasted, as shown. A cemented outsole 17, Fig. 2, provided with a dish-shaped heel lift 22, is then placed on the last, and the margin of the forepart and shank of the upper is then turned out and lasted down on this sole, preferably by the use of staples 32, Fig. 7. This lasting is conveniently performed by the machine described in Specification 25,272/12. A welt 34, preferably bevelled on its inner edge, is then positioned on the outturned flange of the upper, and a row 38 of stitches is inserted through the welt into the sole. The ends of the welt are made to abut against the front ends of the lift 22, which is of such a thickness that its upper face is substantially flush with that of the welt. The heel end of the sole is then secured to the shoe bv nails in the usual manner.
