Abstract: 11,711. Justice, P. M., [Plant, T. G.]. May 18. Heels, machines for.-In a heeling-machine, three heel or top-lift holders are mounted on a carriage 4 supported by a sbaft 2. The shaft is rotated to bring the holders from the heel-receiving position into the nail-driving position. Each holder has clamping-jaws 16 supported on slides 10, 12, which carry racks 18, 20, engaging an idle pinion 22, for the front of the heel, and a transversely movable adjustable stop for the back. A pin 24 on a lever 26 engages in a slot in the slide 10, and the lever may be adjusted by an adjusting-screw 28 so that the jaws 16 may be set at any desired distance apart. The lever 26 is held by a spring 32, so that the screw 28 is against its stop, or so that the jaws grip the edges of a heel in the holder. The slides 10, 12 are mounted on a carriage 34, which can be moved forward against the tension of a spring 40 by a screw 36. A small amount of free movement of the carriage is permitted in order that, without turning the screw 36, it may be pushed forward to permit the insertion of a heel, which is then gripped between the jaws and the back-stop. The back-stop is pivoted at 50, and is normally held at right-angles to its support by a spring, but is able to swing round its pivot to allow an improperly-placed heel to be forced into proper position. The stop is supported on a carriage adjusted by a screw 46. In a modified form of stop specially for use with top lifts the stop 50 is divided, and the front half, which is inclined so that its engaging-face bears against the top hft near the flesh side, is yieldingly connected to the other half by a leaf spring. In another modification, the back-stop comprises a bar which rides on a carriage between lugs on the stop support, springs tending to hold the bar in a central position. To engage top lifts of varying thickness, the stop 50 and the breast jaws are formed with sharpened projecting edges on the side of the holder near the heel. When a thin lift is pressed on a heel, these edges sink into the heel without interfering with the attachment of the lift. The heel or lift, after being gripped in the holder, is carried under a guide - plate 8, which is fitted with a window 70, to the nail-driving position.
