Granted: 1909-10-08
Abstract: 14,540. Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. July 8. Embossing and stamping.-In a machine for marking boot uppers by perforating or the like, the tools are arranged in two or more series, the work is presented to the tools vertically, and means are provided adjacent to each tool whereby, simultaneously with the presentation of the work to a particular tool, that tool will be coupled to an actuator and will be operated independently of the remainder of the tools, or the series to which it belongs will be operated independently of the remaining series. Fig. 2 shows one series of tools of a machine in which the tools of each series are arranged to act together. The work is inserted into the particular recess D<1> required, which forms a die through which the punches C' work. Pressure is applied to the adjacent trigger G\ which imparts longitudinal movement to a rod G carried by pivoted links H, H<1>. This movement lowers a catch J and with it a spring-controlled retainer bar K, which thereby allows a bell-crank pawl M to oscillate into a position to be engaged by a driving-plate F<4> carried by an elbow -lever F', which is continuously oscillated from an eccentric E<3> or a driving-shaft E. The pawl M is mounted on a shaft M<1> passing through a plunger B on which are mounted the tool carriers C, so that at each oscillation of the pawl M the punches connected to the corresponding plunger B are operated. The plunger B is returned by the lever F<2> which engages a shoulder B' thereon. At the end of the forward stroke of the plunger B, the pawl M is rocked into its initial position by a spring-pressed rod L. When the pressure on the trigger is relieved, the catch J is drawn by a spring J<1> into its former position over the bar K. By providing each tool of the series with a separate plunger, trigger, and connecting parts, the machine may be so arranged that a single tool of any series may be selected and operated alone. The smaller of the pairs of parts between which the work is inserted is arranged on the side nearer to the operator.
