Title: Shoe Nailing Machines.
Inventor: JOHNSON LAWRENCE EDMOND
IPC: A43D69/00
Filed: 1911-07-11
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 16,080. Johnson, L. E., and Crowe, J. July 11. Loose-nailing.-A boot-nailing machine, particularly for use in repair work, has a nailhopper provided with a number of pockets for different varieties of nails. The work is supported on an anvil 18 carried by a post 16 adapted to slide in guides in the machine. An adjustable workgauge 110 holds it in position. The post 16 rests on a cam 19, which can be moved to adjust the height of the anvil by a hand - wheel 22. The nailhopper is rotatably mounted in a lateral projection from a frame 29, which can be moved vertically, being guided by collars 32, 33 engaging a post 28 and a pin 35 passing through a hole in the machinetable 12. An arm 30 projecting from the frame terminates in a sleeve 31 enclosing the driver channel. A plunger frame 38 is arranged parallel with the frame 29, and is slidably supported on the post 28 by collars 39, 39<a>. The plunger frame is reciprocated by a treadle 42, to which it is connected by a link 43. A spring 47 moves the treadle and the frame upwards after each depression, the frame 38 towards the end of its movement engaging with and lifting the frame 29. The frame 38 has a lateral extension carrying a driver 55, which reciprocates in the sleeve 31. The nailhopper comprises a rectangular plate 67, carrying pockets 70. A nail-slot 71 extends upwardly along the bottom and through the margin at the front end of each pocket, and is continued in the form of a short raceway 73 extending downwards. At the end of each raceway, a separator formed by a notched circular disk 81, Fig. 6, is arranged. Each disk is mounted in a sleeve formed in a bracket 78 secured to the raceway, and is adapted to be turned by an arm 86 to carry the end nail from the raceway to an aperture leading to the driver passage. The arm 86 rests in a notch 90 in a lever 91 pivoted at 89 and provided with arms adapted to be engaged by a pin 92 on the frame 29. The upper arm 93 is pivoted to the main lever at 94, and is held in normal position by a spring 95, thus permitting yielding should a nail jam. The nails are carried upwards along the slot in each pocket by a pusher comprising a rock-lever 103 operated by the plunger arm and carrying a finger 109, which enters the slot in the bottom of the pocket. The hopper is held in its adjusted position by a lug which enters the slot of the raceway. To move the hopper to bring a fresh pocket into operative position, it is lifted on its pivot until the raceway is free of the slot. The descent of the plunger frame is limited by a screw 114 on the collar 39<a>, which engages a lug 117 on the frame 29. The work is set up and the workgauge adjusted with a clinch plate 119 under the screw 114. After the gauge has been set, the plate is swung into inoperative position, the full descent of the plunger frame thus causing the points of the nails to be clinched on the anvil.
