Title: Improvements in and relating to Heel Building Machines.
Inventor: DENNE MARK THOMAS
IPC: A43D79/00
Filed: 1912-11-01
Granted: 1913-09-18
Abstract: 25,071. Denne, M. T. Nov. 1. Heels, machines for.-The mould-carrier and the top-pad carrier of a heel-building machine are arranged to be swung in opposite directions away from the stationary nail-block when being moved to their inoperative positions, so that the mould and nail-block are freely accessible for loading operations. The two-carriers are pivotally mounted on a rod O, which can reciprocate in bearings extending from the frame A. The rod is normally held by a spring Q at its uppermost limit, but it may be depressed by a treadle q. The pad-carrier L<1> is pivoted between collars on the rod, and is provided with a cam groove in which a roll mounted on the frame rides. The mould carrier p, which is loose on the rod, is also provided with a cam groove to take a cam roll supported by an arm fixed to the rod 0. As the rod rises, the cams act to swing the carriers to opposite sides of the machine. A dash-pot prevents the rod rising too rapidly. The lower end of the rod O is provided with a screwthread of high pitch, and passes through a nut R held in ball bearings in the frame. The periphery of the nut is formed with teeth, and, after the pad L has been swung into operative position over the mould, a pawl r is adapted to ensage one of the teeth, thus locking the rod O and holding the pad rigidly while the nails are driven. The nail-block C is provided with a number of nail apertures, and may be fitted with a number of blinder plates for selecting the apertures for any desired nailing. In a preferred form, each heel mould is arranged to carry a blinder plate which, by the movement of the heel mould to inoperative position, is brought over the nail - block. The drivers are carried by a block D on a screw E, which is adjustable by a nut e in a vertical bearing F. A block K, reciprocated in the bearing F by a crank H on a shaft G, engages the end of the screw E, and at each revolution of the shaft drives the nails in the nailblock. The shaft is arranged to be coupled to a constantly rotating pulley M by a one-revolution clutch comprised by a cylindrical keyway, between the fly-wheel boss and the shaft, in which a semi-cylindrical key m<1> turns. The key is connected to a spring which tends to turn it into coupling position, but this turning movement is normally stopped by a catch m<3> engaging a projection on the end of the key. The catch is depressed to start the machine by moving a hand trigger. A pawl prevents rebound of the shaft. The clutch mechanism is connected with the device for locking the top-pad in position, so that the machine can only be started while the top-pad is rigidly held.
