Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 2035. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Jan. 26. Lasting &c.-In a lasting or like machine having mechanism for imparting lateral and turning movements to the pincers, these two movements may operate independently of each other. The pincers are mounted on a pincerrod passing through a frame 8, which is supported by a bracket 6 extending from a support 2, which corresponds to the pincer brackets described in Specification 21,196/08. A spool-shaped sleeve 26, which slides on an enlarged part 9 of the pincer-rod, is connected by a link 22 to a toggle 16, 18 operating the pincer jaws. The pincers are closed by movement of the pincer plunger, which movement is transmitted by links 34 and rocking arms 36 to the sleeve 26. Lateral movement is imparted to the pincers by the train of mechanism shown in Fig. 2. A cam-path in a cam-disk 42 mounted on the main shaft 43 oscillates a cam lever 44 having at its free end a toothed segment 45 engaging a pinion 46 upon a hollow rockshaft 47. At the forward end of the rock-shaft, a driving-shoe 48 is mounted, which is oscillated as the shaft is rocked, thereby imparting motion to a sliding block 49 carried by the shoe and connected by a link 50 to the bracket through which the pincers pass. The amplitude of the lateral movements of the pincers is varied by shifting the position of the block 49 in the shoe 48 bv a longitudinal movement of a sleeve 52, Fig. 1, on the hollow shaft 47. This causes a shifting of the block 49 as described in Specification 14,453/97. The turning movement of the pincers is effected from the same actuating-cam as the lateral movement. The cam lever 44 is provided with a T-slotted segment 56, in which a pin at the end of a link 58 can be clamped. The link is pivoted at its other end to a crank on a rock-shaft which carries a driving-shoe 64. A block 66 sliding in the shoe is connected through a link 70 to a lever 71, which operates a rack-bar 74 through a link 73. The rack 74 engages a pinion 76, the rotation of which is transmitted through a shaft 81 to the pincer rod. The amplitude of the turning movement is controlled by varying the position of the block 66 in its shoe 64. This is done by varying the vertical position of a bar 84 by a hand-lever 100. The bar 84 is connected to the block 66 through links 86, 88, 68. When it is desired to make use of both the lateral and turning movements simultaneously, the rod 84 and a rod 55, which effects the sliding of the sleeve 52, may be connected by a link having a universal joint. Specification 15,043/96, [Class 112, Sewing &c.], is also referred to.
