Granted: 1913-09-25
Abstract: 21,949. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Sept. 26. Lasting.-A tool for placing the binding- wire around the overworked portion of an upper c o m p r i s e s a tubular barrel or handle 10 provided with a long slender nozzle 12, which is formed integral with a wire conductor 16 extending into the handle 10. A second conductor 18 is situated in the rear end of the handle in line with the conductor 16. The wire 5 passes through these conductors and is carried round the boot upper by movement of the handle 10, the slender nozzle 12 permitting the wire to be placed well in the groove formed by the wipers. To enable any desired tension to be given to the wire, it is gripped in the handle by jaws 24 mounted on levers 20 pressed apart by springs 25. Finger-pieces 29 are provided on the levers 20 to permit the grip of the jaws to be varied. To form the loop to attach the wire to the tack at one side of the upper, the end of the wire is inserted in a socket 33 in a suitably-supported block 32. The wire is then given a turn round a post 30 projecting from the block. The end of the wire which enters the socket forms a prong which digs into the upper material and increases the security of the anchorage to the tack. The socket may be inclined so as to form the prong into a back turned hook. Specification 9793/08 is referred to.
