Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Trimming the Edge of the Sole of a Boot or Shoe.
IPC: A43D8/36
Filed: 1911-07-24
Granted: 1912-07-18
Abstract: 16,937. British United Shoe Machinery Co., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. July 24. [Addition to 2419/10.] Trimming.-The machine described in the parent Specification for " cutting-in " or trimming the sole of a shoe adjacent to the heel breast is provided with improved gauges and guards to facilitate the positioning of the shoe, to increase the speed of the machine, and also to allow the sole to be trimmed, by a single downward movement about the axis of the cutter, to a convex edge o f substantially t h e same sectional contour as that part of the edge which has already been trimmed by the ordinary shank cutter. The rotary cutter 13 is secured to the shaft 11 by a screw 14 and collar 15, and extending across its periphery is a guard 19 made in two parts 21, 22 adjustably secured together by screws 26. The part 21 is fastened to a carrier 20 rotatably mounted on the shaft 11, and provided with a segmental flange 29 which projects into a groove 30 in an adjusting- screw 31; with this arrangement, the carrier 20 and guard 19 can be adjusted longitudinally of the cutter. The carrier may be rocked about the shaft by means of a handle 32, being returned by a spring 33, the action of which is limited by the engagement of a lug on the flange 29 with the screw 31. The gauges comprise a breast gauge 16 clamped between the cutter and a shoulder 17 on the shaft, an edge gauge 18 rotatably mounted on the collar 15 and adapted to rest against the edge of the shank, and a sole gauge 38 mounted on the guard 19 and projecting outwards and preferably upwards from the edge of the part 21; this gauge 38 is adapted to rest against the upper face of the sole 39 adjacent to its edge and to the breast of the heel, and to move with the work about the axis of the cutter. A stop 40 adjustably secured to the part 22 of the guard 19 is positioned to engage the tread face of the sole at some distance from its edge, to limit the amount of tipping of the shoe while it is being trimmed. In operation, the shoe is positioned against the gauges, and is then moved downwards from the full-line position, Fig. 8, to that shown in dotted lines, the gauge 18 acting as a pattern to guide the shoe so that the edge is trimmed to the same contour as that portion against which the gauge rests. During this movement, the carrier 20 rocks upon the shaft 11, being assisted by the operator, if desired, by means of the handle 32, so that the two parts 21, 22 of the guard 19 are always in a position to prevent the cutter from damaging the shoe upper.
