Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Shaping the Vamps or Uppers of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D8/04
Filed: 1912-05-17
Granted: 1913-05-19
Abstract: 11,802. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. May 17. Uppers, machines for.-A machine for blocking the toe portion of an upper prior to the pulling-over or lasting operation, is provided with means for forming a hump in the upper before it is clamped for the blocking operation. The upper is placed on a plate 12, which slides in guides in a cross-head 10 supported by a spring 8 from a plunger 4. The plate 12 has an opening contoured to correspond with the contour of the fore part of a last. To adapt the machine for use for right or left boots, the plate is made reversible. The upper is clamped upon this plate by a U-shaped member 15 mounted on spring plungers supported upon a block projecting from the head of the machine. The clamp may be reversed on its support. The mounting preferably permits the toe end of the member 15 to be depressed a little so as to clamp the toe portion of the upper first, a spring 19 ensuring firm clamping. A guideway, rigidly mounted on the plunger 4, carries a toe former 20 made double-ended for operation on right or left uppers and normally projecting upwards to some extent through the opening in the clamping-plate 12. The former is locked in position for operating upon either rights or lefts by a pin 25 operated by a finger-lever 26. The upper is placed in position on the clamping-plate when the plate, and the forepart former, which projects through the opening in it, have been drawn outwards in their guides. The forepart of the upper rests on the former, and is humped in the middle by the projecting part of the former. Gauge - bars 30 are pivoted to the plate 12 and, in the movement of the plate into operative position, are adapted to engage and be passed inwards by blocks 32 adjustably mounted on the cross-head 10, thus assisting in humping the upper. A gripper lever 40 for the fore part of the upper is pivoted on the cross-head 10, the tail part of the lever being sufficiently heavy to maintain the lever open normally. The tail is adapted to be engaged to close the gripper by the plate 12 as this reaches its operative position. The tip seam of the upper is clamped to the former by a reversible clamp 48 yieldingly supported on the machine frame. A rear part support for the upper is provided by a rod 51 projecting from the fore part former support and having a post 63 over which the heel end of the upper may be passed. In the operation of the machine, when the plunger 4 rises, it moves the toe-former and the clamping - plate upwards until the upper has been clamped against the tip clamp 48 and then against the member 15. The spring 8 then yields and the toe former is moved upwards alone, thus blocking the upper to shape. The clutch gear-wheels operating the toggle link that reciprocates the plunger are so arranged that the machine is brought to rest, if the treadle is released, with the upper under tension so that it may be left to set.
