COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Lasting Machines.
I, THFODOR PHILIPSTHAL, of 16, Franzosische Strasse, Berlin, in the Empire
of Germany, Manager, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particulaily described and ascei-
tained in and by the following statement
The present invention relates to that class of lasting machines covered by
Patent No 21105 of 1896 and consists substantially in means for preventing the
necessity of boring the inner sole or welt to receive the bolts for attaching the
last to the last support
The invention further comprises an improvement which consists in attaching
the upper to the welt by means of a suitable adhesive, which saves much time
and produces a better attachment Means are also provided for pressing the parts
together by moving the last and its support upwards against a fixed stop or by
pressing the last down on to its support, in order to evenly press the upper ou
to the rim or edge of the welt
In order to render the present specification more easily intelligible reference
is had to the accompanying drawing in which similar letters of reference denote
similar parts throughout the several views
--
Fig. 1 is a side elevation partly in section of one form of apparatus for carry-
ing out the invention
Fig 218 a view, seen from underneath, of the upper horizontal aim of the
pressing device and
Fig 3 is a de elevation partly in section of a modified form of the device.
The last with the upper is placed on the last support 6 on which the inner sole
or welt is laid A bai S having upper horizontal aim S with a downwardly pro-
jecting pressure bar P is mounted to slide vertically in a prismatic guide at the
upper part of the last support a pivoted lever S¹ being provided and fitted to en-
gage by means of a pin and slot connection, the slide bar S
The pressure bai P may be separate from the part S S3 and fit an orifice in the
arm S as shown at Figure 1 or the said part may be fitted to the horizontal bar
or arm S as shown at P in Figure 3 The arm S may be prolonged and provided
with a downwardly extending arm D having a pad on the like at its lower end
and adapted to press on the exterior surface of the upper
After the last with the upper has been placed on the last support and on the
welt thereon, and the parts provided with adhesive--for instance a thick gum
will seive the purpose--the lever 81 is depressed and the upper and the welt
tightly pressed together
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim 18
-
1. An improvement in lasting machines of the class covered by British
Patent No 21105 of 1896 according to which the porta hithonto

page_text: driving in the tacks to secure the upper and welt together and to the last are
rendered unnecessary, in that the said upper and welt are secured together by an
adhesive, and then pressed together, the pressure device described serving to in-
crease the pressure applied at the end of the lasting operation substantially as
described.
2 -In combination with the improvement covered by Claim 1 the pressure
bar S with horizontal arm and pressure bar (P or P¹) and means for depressing
said bar down onto the last substantially as desembed
