Title: Improvements in or relating to Jacks or Work-supports for use in Machines Employed in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
Filed: 1907-11-30
Granted: 1908-11-26
Abstract: 26,522. Wells, C. S., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Nov. 30. Work - supports ; nailing ; uppers. - A jack or work-support for pounding-up and other machines is provided with means controlled by its endlong or other movement to vary the extent to which it can be canted, or to lock it against any canting movement. The toe and heel carriages E, D are mounted on a tubular support A, in which is fitted a piston B pivoted at B' on a revoluble jack post C, which passes through a longitudinal slot A<1> extending nearly the whole length of the support. This piston carries studs B', B<3> adapted to engage, respectively, flare-ended slots D', E' in the lower portions of the heel and toe carriages D, E, which can be adjusted along the support A by rack-andpinion gearing. The jack can be rotated about the axis of the post C, moved endways, tilted about the pivot B<1>, or canted about the axis of the support A within limits determined by the slot A' and the head of the post C. Fig. 1 shows the jack in a position for the heel of the boot to be operated upon, the stud B<2> being in engagement with its slot D<4>, to lock the jack against any canting movement. As the jack is traversed past the tool, the stud leaves its slot, so that, when the waist of the shoe is under the tool, the jack can be canted as desired. Later, the toe comes into a position to be operated upon, and then the other stud B<3> engages its slot E', so that the jack is again locked against any canting movement. The times for locking and releasing the jack thus depend on the positions of the heel and toe carriages, and are therefore automatically adjusted when the jack is.set to take a shoe of a different size.
