Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 14,567. Jerram, A. E., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. June 16. Levelling. - A levelling-machine which combines the advantages of the direct-pressure type of machine with those of the oscillating jack and form type is arranged so that, after the jack and form have been moved into engagement, they are given a relative tipping and rolling movement of small angularity, and longitudinally of the shoe. The invention is described as applied to a machine of the type described in Specification 6068/07, in which shoes mounted on jacks C, C' are adapted to be operated upon alternately by forms such as D<1> I removably and adjustably carried by a lever G controlled by an adjustable spring G<5>. Each last is removably held by a slider C<2> adapted to be moved in a carrier B', which is pivoted at H<1> to a lever H centred at A<4> on the machine frame. The end of the slider is connected by a toggle I, I<1>, Fig. 4, with a bell-crank J, the upper end of which is pivotally connected by a link J<5> with a lever K centred on the pivot A<4>. This lever is coupled to an eccentric K<3> on a shaft K<4>, which is intermittently driven, the arrangement being such that the carrier B<1> is swung from the vertical to the inclined position, after which the toggle I, I<1> is straightened to move the slider C<2> and force the shoe into engagement with the form. The carrier B' is locked in its inclined position by the engagement of a clip-link L with a stud M, and in this position it is rocked about the pivots H', A' to impart the tipping and rolling movements to the jacked shoe. These movements are effected by a connexion of the lever H through a link N with a floating link 0, which is actuated by an eccentric on a shaft P continuously driven by worm gearing E<2> from the main shaft E. A locking-device, common to the levers H of both jack-carriers B, B<1>, and controlled by a hookended lever R from the starting-treadle S, alternately locks each of the levers H so as to leave the other lever free to be acted upon by the floating link O ; in a modification, this locking-device is controlled automatically by connexions with the lever K. Instead of the tipping and rolling movements being imparted to the jack, they may be imparted to the form, or to both the form and jack.
