Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 14,133. Bates, A., Roberts, W. T. B., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. June 16. Coating-machines.-A machine for applying cement to shoe uppers &c. has a rotary cementfeeding roll B and strippers E, which close tightly against the roll to seal the cement chamber A when the machine is stopped, and are separated therefrom to enable the required quantity of cement to be fed when the machine is in operation. A single controlling-member J initiates two of the following operations: (a) removing the strippers from the roll, (b) starting the roll, and (c) feeding the work. The last operation is effected by a presser C. This is brought down upon the work by a wedgerod L, which engages an adjustable abutment C<5> on a bell-crank lever carrying the presser. The rod L is guided in the work-table A<1>, and is operated by an arm K, against which it is pressed by a spring. The strippers E are closed upon the roll B by means of a spring E<3>, and are operated by a rod F, which is guided in the work - table, and actuated to open the strippers by an adjustable abutment screw K<1> on the arm K. This arm is fixed to a guide-rod G<1> carrying a belt-shifter G and actuated by the control] ing-m ember J. The roll B is preferably frusto-conical, and is arranged at an angle to the work-table. It is driven from a shaft D carrying fast and loose pulleys. The initial movement of the member J starts the cementroll and opens the strippers; further movement feeds the work, which has been placed above the cement-roll, by operating the presser C.
