Patent GB-190919455-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Lasting or like Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D21/00
Filed: 1909-08-24
Granted: 1910-08-24
Abstract: 19,455. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Aug. 24. Lasting.-A bed-lasting machine is constructed so that the toe and heel lasting mechanisms can be relatively adjusted and positioned to act on all styles of shoes, and particularly shoes made on crooked lasts. In the machine described, the toelasting mechanism is fixed, and the heel-lasting mechanism is carried by a plate 11, Fig. 3, which can swing round an adjustable pivot stud 12 located under the centre of the toe of the last when the shoe is in lasting position. This is accomplished by a hand-lever, further movement of which first causes a sector 8 carrying a vertical pivot post 7, located under the centre of the heel of the last, to swing relatively to the plate 11, and then moves an arm 6 and the entire lasting-head round the pivot 7. The endlong positioning of the heel-lasting mechanism is effected by a plate 10, which carries the sector 8. This plate is mounted to slide relatively to the plate 11, and a locking-device is provided to secure it in its adjusted position. The rearward movement of the plate 10, after the lasting is accomplished, is utilized automatically to release a locking-detent 50, which holds the swing- ing-plate 11 in the position into which it is moved. The lasting-head proper is mounted to swing vertically about a pivot b, which is carried in ears rising from the swinging arms 6. Adjustable stops and connexions are provided to limit and to vary the amounts of movement of the different parts of the machine. The last-support comprises a rigid heel-post 21 pivoted at 20 to one arm of a lever 19, the other arm of which is connected to an operating-lever 24, a yielding toe-post comprising a rod 29 carrying the toe rest, a spring 28, and a rod 26, which is connected to the front end of a lever 25. An adjusting-screw 33 depends from the lever 25 and rests on the lever 19, so that, when the latter lever is actuated to raise the heel-post, the toe-rest presses the last tightly against the usual hold-down and the underside of the toe wipers. The levers 19, 25 are pivoted in ears 18x depending from the plate 11, so that the support as a whole partakes of the swinging adjustments of the heel-lasting mechanism.
