IPC: A43D69/02
Abstract: 146,619. British United Shoe Machinery Co., (United Shoe Machinery Corporation). April 10, 1919. Nailing.-In a loose-nailing machine of the type in which the awl and nail-driver guides move laterally in unison for producing feeding movement of the work and successive positioning of awl and driver in the same path, means are provided for conjointly varying the lateral movement and the distance between the guides by relative movement lengthwise of the. awl guide and a member in engagement therewith, so that one adjustment varies the distance between the nails and the distance of feed, these two distances remaining always equal. Several interchangeable nail-magazine and raceway units are provided, and interengaging positioning and driving means are provided on the machine and each unit to facilitate the substitution of one unit for another containing a different size of nail. The invention is shown applied to the machine described in Specification 1494/93. A cam 62, Fig. 9, oscillates a lever 54 having a guideway 52 engaging a member 50, Fig. 10, secured to a slide 48 which reciprocates an arm 44 on the head carrying the awl and nail-driver. A screw 64, for securing the member 50 in adjusted position, also engages a slide 66 in an inclined slot 68 in the awl guide, the incline being such that on adjustment of the member 50 along the guide,way 52 to vary the feed, the member 66 effects a corresponding adjustment in the distance between the awl and nail driver. The interchangeable magazine and raceway unit comprises a hopper 254 and rotatable magazine 216 driven by a slot 260 in a disk, and a raceway clearer 262 driven by a finger 266. The unit carries a forked member 226 and a rod 238, engaging a headed clamp and a split socket respectively on the machine when the unit is in position. Fixed and resiliently supported rotating studs then respectively engage the members 266, 260 to effect the drive, the resiliently supported stud sliding over its disk until reaching the slot 260. Each raceway has a nail-retaining finger, which is pushed out of position by a part on the machine when the unit is in place. The end of the raceway presents a plain end-surface adapted to slide over the corresponding parts of the machine, to facilitate adjustment, and a wide slot is provided in the surface 100, Fig. 7, of the nail throat 215, and the ends of the raceway slot 102 are bevelled off so that fine adjustment is not necessary.
