Similar letters refer to similar parts wherever they occur on the different parts
of the drawings.
This invention has for its object the attachment of heels to boots and shoes by
ncans of nails driven directly through the heels without making awl perforations in
the same which is accomplished by means of a perforated stationary die block, a
vertically movable driver block, having drivers attached to it, loaders in which the
nails are received previous to delivering them into the perforated die block, a
spanker device for spanking the top piece on the projecting heads of the nails, by
which the heel is secured to the boot or shoe, and with such devices I use an
improved jack adapted to be moved horizontally to and from the position below the
die block and adapted to be raised and lowered relative to the same, and safety
devices for the purpose of preventing the machines from being started until the
treadle for raising the jack is depressed, and for preventing the machine from being
started until the loader is swung out of the way of the driver block as well as for
preventing the nails from being unloaded while the top piece and spanker plate are
below the die block.
The invention also consists in the combination, construction, and arrangements
of parts as will be hereinafter more fully shown and described.
In the drawings A represents the frame or standard of the machine in bearings in
which is located the driving shaft B; on said driving shaft is loosely journalled

page_text: the balance wheel B' having a sleeve B attached to it which sleeve is loosely
journalled on the said driving shaft B; on said sleeve B is arranged the fast
pulley B and loose pulley B to which belt power is applied in the usual
manner.
The balanced wheel B¹ has a recessed hub b. Fig. 15 having projections
adapted to be brought in contact with a spring pressed pawl e pivoted to a hub C
firmly secured to the driving shaft B as is common in machinery of this kind and
similar machines where it is desired to set the driving shaft in rotation and to stop
it after making one revolution.
The pawl is normally depressed by means of a spring pressed
pivoted to the frame A at d and having its lower end adapted to
pressed pawl out of contact with the balance wheel projections
piece remains in its normal position shown in Figs. 3. and 4.
swing piece D
keep the spring
as the swing
The swing piece D is operated by means of a handle D' secured to a shaft d
journalled in the frame A said shaft having attached to it a lever " connected
by means of a link to a projection or arm d' on the swing piece D as shown in
Fig. 4.
D is a spring attached at one end to the handle D¹ and at its other end to a
stationary part of the frame A as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 which spring serves to
hold the handle D₁ normally in its upper position and the swing piece D also in its
normal position that is so that its lower end shall keep the spring pressed pawl
out of contact with the balance wheel hub projections for the purpose of
allowing the said balance wheel to rotate freely without imparting motion to the
hub C and driving shaft B as long as the starting handle D' is held upwards by its
spring D as shown in Fig. 3.
When it is desired to impart rotation to the driving shaft B from the fast
pulley B³ and balance wheel B₁ it is only necessary to temporarily depress the
handle D by which the swing piece D is released from the spring pressed pawl c
which is then liberated and pressed outward by its spring and as the balance wheel
rotates, one of the projections 1 comes in contact with the said pawl and thus
imparts a rotation to the hub C and driving shaft B until said pawl after com-
pleting one revolution is brought in contact with the lower end of the spring
piece D which in the meantime has been allowed to return to its normal position
by the operator releasing his pressure on the handle D' and thus prevents more
than one complete revolution of the hub C and the driving shaft B for every time
the starting handle D' is momentarily depressed.
The object of this starting and stopping mechanism of the driving shaft is for the
purpose of automatically returning the driver head to its highest position after a
heel has been nailed or its top piece spanked on. For the purpose of preventing
the driving shaft 13 from being moved by its momentum after it is stopped at the
completion of one revolution employ the friction device at the rear end of said
driving shaft consisting of a sleeve B attached to the rear end of the shaft B and
journalled in a hub B6 attached at the rear end of the frame A as shown in Figs. 3
and 4 between said sleeve B and the hub B6 is interposed a friction surface B
preferably made of leather as shown in Fig. 4 but this is not material as any other
suitable or equivalent friction device may be used without departing from the
essence of my invention.
The mechanism for moving the driver block up and down relative to the
stationary block is constructed as follows. To the front end of the driving shaft B
is secured an eccentric B8 surrounded by an eccentric collar B the lower end of
the rod of which is pivoted at e to the lower head or cross piece E, which latter is
guided in suitable bearings in the lower front portion of the frame or standard A;
to said lower head E are secured the upwardly projecting rods E' E' having
secured in an adjustable manner to their upper ends the head or cross piece F.
The head F is preferably made vertically adjustable on the rods E Eas
follows.
Each of said rods passes loosely through a vertical perforation in said head and

page_text: is screw threaded in its upper end and there provided with a regulating hand
nut having an annular groove adapted to receive a lip secured in a
suitable manner to the said head and it will thus be seen that by turning the
hand nuts the head F may be adjusted vertically on the rods E E¹ for the
purpose of adjusting the driver blocks and drivers relative to the stationary
perforated die block G.
The said die block is preferably secured to the frame or standard A. as follows.
E is a sleeve loosely surrounding each rod E' and made to pass loosely through
the stationary die block G and a perforated ear A' on the frame or standard A as
well as through a perforated sleeve A³ interposed between the under side of the die
block G and stationary car A' as shown in Fig. 3.
The sleeve E secures the die block to the ears A' A¹ on the frame of the
machine by means of a collar E3 on the upper end of said sleeve E" which collar
rests on the top of the die plate G and a nut E' secured on the lower end of the
sleeve E against the under side of each car A' as shown in Figs. 23 and 4.
The rods EE as will be seen are thus guided up and down in the stationary
sleeves EE and the die block G is firmly secured to the upper end of the
frame A.
Frepresents the drivers secured in a suitable manner to the driver block Fu
which is detachably secured in grooved ways on the underside of the upper head F
and locked in position to the latter by means of a spring pressed locking pin F³ the
lower end of which adapted to enter a centering notch or recess in the upper
portion of the detachable nail driver block F as shown in Fig. 4.
The improved jack and mechanism for its operation is constructed and arranged
as follows.
A is a stationary block or projection forming a part of the front portion of the
frame A above such stationary block is arranged a vertically inovable block H
adapted to slide up and down in suitable guides on the front portion of the machine;
on the top of such movable block H is supported the lower end of the vertical jack
screw which works in a female screw thread in the jack supporting bracket I
having ways on its upper side on which the jack K is adapted to slide out and in
relative to the stationary die block G.
the
The pressure screw has made in one piece with its lower end a pinion
teeth of which mesh in the teeth of a rack which is adapted to slide horizontally
in guides attached to, or forming a part of the movable block H; said rack is
operated in one direction, the one shown by arrow in Fig. 2 by the pressing of the
treadle lever Land in an opposite direction by the spring L' attached to said treadle
lever and any stationary part of the machine above it as shown in Fig. 2.
The treadle lever L is pivoted at to the frame of the machine and is connected to
a bell crank lever 1" by means of a link or bar L³, the bell crank lever Lis pivoted
at to the stationary block A* or any other stationary part of the machine and has its
upper end preferably connected to the rack by means of a link as shown
in Fig. 2.
It will thus be seen that by depressing the lever L against the influence of its
spring L, the bell crank lever L will be rocked on its fulcrum and the rack "
moved in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig. 2 causing it to turn the pinion
and screw and thus causing the jack bracket I and its jack to be moved upwards
until the top of the sole of the shoe held on the jack is brought in contact with the
under side of the heel held by the clamps.
In addition to such treadle mechanism for moving the jack upwards, I use an
automatic mechanism for putting on an increased pressure on the jack for the
purpose of pressing and holding the heel of the boot or shoe firmly against the
underside of the die block during the operation of driving the nails into the heel
and sole, as well as during the operation of spanking the top piece on the projecting
ends of the nails and this mechanism is constructed arranged and operated as
follows.
In the stationary block A is journalled a pin or shaft a and in the movable

page_text: block His journalled a similar shaft or pin said pins or shafts having secured to
them the respective cams a having cam surfaces a" and concentric
surfaces a³ ³ as shown in Fig. 5.
The said cams are operated from the rods E' E' by means of levers o secured
respectively to the shafts a said levers being connected at their outer ends to
links as the lower ends of which are pivoted to adjustable blocks as he secured to
the vertically movable rods E' E' as shown in Fig. and by this arrangement,
the cam surfaces all are made to work against each other during the first
quarter revolution of the eccentric B on the driving shaft B by which the block H
and the jack carried by it is moved upwards for the purpose of giving the increased
pressure on the heel against the under side of the stationary die block G. During
the next quarter revolution of the said driving shaft and eccentric, the concentric
surfaces a³ ³ of the cams a hare brought together, allowing said cams to rock
without imparting further upward movement to the jack during which time the
driver descends and drives the nails into the heel; during the final half revolution
of the said driving shaft and eccentric the rods E' E' are raised upwards to their
normal position the cams a' are rocked and also returned to their normal position,
by which the block H and jack K with its shoe held thereon are lowered sufficiently
to release the increased pressure between the heel and die block, after which the
jack is wholly lowered to its lowest position by the operator releasing his pressure
on the treadle lever I when the latter is swung upwards by the influence of its
spring causing the rack to be moved in a direction opposite to that shown by
arrow in Fig. 2 by which the screw shaft is turned on its axis within the female
screw thread in the bracket I thereby causing the jack to be lowered to its original
normal position for the purpose of removing the heeled shoe or for the purpose of
placing a top piece and spanker plate below the perforated die block for spanking
on such top piece as the case may be.
The improved jack is fully shown in detail in Figs. 12 13 14 and is constructed
as follows.
To its upper end is pivoted at k a metal last K' provided with the removable
last plate having a suitable locking device for securing it in a detachable
manner to the upper end of the metal last K'; the said pivoted last K¹ is further
provided with an adjustable toe piece K³ having a shank Kadapted to slide in an
inclined recess K in said metal last K and to be secured in any desired position
relative to the latter by means of set screw the point of which is made to press
or bite into notches or locking recesses on the shank Kas fully shown in
Fig. 12, the rocking motion of the last K is regulated by means of an adjusting
screw interposed between the jack K and the pivoted last K' as shown in said
Fig. 12.
The improved loader is fully shown in detail in Figs. 8 and 9 and it consists of
a metal frame M having a perforation adapted to receive one of the rods E
around which said loader may be turned.
The said frame is supported above the stationary die block G preferably on
the collar E3 of the sleeve El as shown in Fig. 2; M is the heel shaped
perforated loader made in one piece with the frame M as shown in Figs. 8 & 9.
Said loader M' has a series of rows of nail perforations m' m² as shown in
Fig. 8 and above such plate is temporally secured a covering plate M", having
perforations mm" arranged on it according to the place in which the nails are
to be driven in the heel that is to be nailed, and the said perforatious m
coincide with some of the perforations in the loader M', and by this arrange-
ment it and the same loader may be used for a variety of shapes and sizes of
heels, it being only necessary to secure to the top of such loaders, the perforated
cover plate M", the latter being provided with perforations corresponding to the
position of the nails to be driven.
The cover M may be secured to the top of the loader M' in any suitable
or well known manner without departing from the essence of my invention;
below the loader M' is arranged the sliding non-perforated shield M³ which is

page_text: normally held by the influence of a spring m³ in the position shown by dotted lines
in Fig. 9 previous to filling the loader its bottom plate or shield M³ is moved
against the influence of the spring m³ to the position shown in full lines in Fig. 9,
and this is done preferably by taking hold of a pin or knob m projected through
the slotted perforation M in the frame M. The plate or shield M³ is held in its
outer position below the loader M' by means of a suitable spring pressed locking
device actuated by a trigger m' as shown in Figs. 8 and 9.
The loader M has at its front a downwardly projecting pin adapted to be
swung against the front of the die block G when the loader is to be discharged,
which is done simply by pushing the trigger m³ when the shield M³ is released and
drawn by the spring to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 9, allowing the
now liberated nails to drop into corresponding perforations in the stationary nail
die or die block G, preparatory to the descent of the head F, its driver block and
drivers.
In practice I prefer to use a pair of such improved loaders, one on each of the
rods E' E' as shown in Fig. 2 and in the operation of the machine, I prefer to
employ one or more attendants for the purpose of filling the loaders and for swinging
them in and out of position.
N in Fig. 4 represents V shaped shoe or counter gage provided with a screw
threaded spindle n adapted to slide forward and backward in a forked bearing a
attached to the upper rear end of the frame A, such shoe gage being made adjustable
by means of a mut n' surrounding the screw threaded spindle n in the forked bracket a
as shown in Fig. 4.
The screw threaded spindle n is preferably splined in the said forked bearing so
as to prevent its being turned around its axis while it is being adjusted forward or
back by means of the nut ².
This is a very simple arrangement and by its use, the shoe counter is held in its
proper position, relative to the position of the nails to be driven.
In connection with the die block G, I use any well known device for holding and
centering the heels and top pieces to be attached to the boots or shoes, and such a
device is fully represented in Figs. 10 and 11 where P represents a block pivoted
on a vertical pin p attached to the frame A, or any stationary part thereof said
block being provided with longitudinally adjustable and laterally expansive spring
pressed heel clamps PP, and top piece clamps PP, said clamps preferably
arranged at right angles with each other, as is common in machines of this kind.
In combination with the expansive top piece clamps P", I use a metal spanker P³,
which is capable of longitudinal adjustment relative to said clamp, by means of a
regulating nut and a screw threaded spindle p³ on which the spanker plate pis
preferably guided as shown in Fig. 10; the object of this adjustable spanker plate
is for the purpose of serving as a guide for the breast of the top piece while it is
being inserted between the expansive top piece clamps and thus preventing the top
piece from being placed irregularly between its clamps.
The front edge p of the said spanker plate p³ serving as a guide or template for
the breast portion of the top piece.
In connection with the machine I use three safety devices, as follows:
One for the purpose of preventing the machine from being started until the
treadle is depressed for raising the jack, and this device is constructed as follows:
I make on the upper right hand portion of the rack ", a longitudinal groove i³
shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, and to the starting lever D', I attach a downwardly
projecting rod D³ the lower end of which is normally made to rest on the top of the
ungrooved portion of the rack 1, so as to prevent the starting lever D₁ from being
accidentally depressed for starting the machine until the treadle lever L has been
depressed and the rack "moved in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig. 2, to
permit the lower end of the safety rod D³ to enter the longitudinal groove ³ in
the right hand portion of the rack ".
The second safety device is for the purpose of preventing the machine from
getting started until the loader is swung out of the way of the driver block and

page_text: this device consists of a horizontally sliding bar Q adapted to slide forward and
back in a guide R, secured to the top portion of the frame A, the said bar being
provided in its upper side with pins or projections 77 adapted to be received
in curved slots M M in the loader frames M M; said bar Q being also
provided on its under side with the elongated or V shaped notch or recess Q, as
shown in Fig. 16, adapted to receive the upper end of a rod Q" the lower end of
which is connected to an arm Q loosely pivoted to the swing piece D, and normally
held upwards by the influence of the spring Q, one end of which is secured to the
arın Q, and the other one being secured to the frame A, as shown in Fig. 3.
In front of the lever Q3 is made on the frame A, a stop projection Q, which
prevents the swing pieces D from being moved forward for starting the machine,
until the bar Q has been moved to one side sufficiently to enable the upper end of
the rod Q² to enter the recess Q on the under side of the sliding bar at which
time the arm Q3 is raised sufficiently by its spring Q to allow it to be pushed
forward with the swing piece D without coming in contact with the stop
projection Q³.
The curved slot M" on the loader frame M is so arranged relative to the pins 7
on the bar Q that the swing movement of the loader, when swung out of its position,
below the driver block, will impart a sliding motion to the bar Q so as to permit
the upper end of the rod Q" to enter the recess Q', when the loaders are swung
out of position, thus perimitting at this time the starting of the machine; but when
the loader is swung in position below the driver block it causes the bar Q to be
moved in its bearings to one side by which the upper end of the rod Q" is depressed
by coming in contact with the non-recessed portion of said bar, causing the pivoted
arm Q³ to be depressed and held opposite the stop projection Q on the frame A,
thus preventing the swing piece D from being operated by the handle D₁ for
starting the machine, as long as the loader is in a position below the driver block,
and thus preventing the accidental breaking of the drivers.
The third safety device is for the purpose of preventing the nails from being
unloaded from the loaders, while the top piece and spanker plate are below the die
block, and this is accomplished by the spanker plate P³ coming in contact with a
spring pressed locking pin r, arranged in the stationary guide piece R, and having
its upper end adapted to enter a perforation in the sliding bar Q, as shown in
Figs. 16 & 17 and by such movement of the spanker plate the pin is locked into
the perforation 9 on the bar Q, by which the latter is locked in position, and while
in said position also locks the loader, by the grooved cars M M coming in contact
with and acting as stops against the pins q q
The nail perforations in the stationary die block G correspond in number and
position with the perforations m³ m² in the loaders M'; and the perforations in the
plate or cover M¹ correspond in number and position with the drivers Flaccording
to the number and location of the nails to be driven in the heel, and it will be seen
that I am able to use a standard perforated die block and a correspondingly
perforated standard loader for the purpose of nailing heels of various sizes, it being
only necessary to cover up a portion of the perforated loader by means of the
perforated plate M" having perforations corresponding to the number of drivers
used on the driver block, and the nails to be driven.
The operation of the machine is as follows:
The operator is preferably assisted by one or two attendants who place the heel
in the expansive heel clamps and the top piece in the expansive top piece clamps
as well as fill the loaders and swing them in and out of position relative to the
drivers.
During the operation of the machine, the balance wheel B is set in a continuous
rotation by belt power applied at the pulley B³. The jack is pulled out as shown
in Fig. 4 and a shoe is placed on the last; a heel is placed on the heel clamp PPI,
and a top picce placed in the top piece clamps PP" after which the heel is swung
into its nailing position directly below the perforated die block.
The loaders are filled with as many nails as their perforated covers M will

page_text: permit. The jack is then pushed inwards until its counter comes in contact with
the V shaped gage N.
The operator then depresses the treadle L by which the jack is forced upwards
so as to bring the heel portion of the boot or shoe sole against the underside of the
heel held by the heel clamps; one of the filled loaders is then swung into position
above the die block G so that its perforations coincide with those of the said die
block.
The loader is then discharged allowing its nails to drop into corresponding
perforations in the die block with the nail points resting on the heel. The loader
is then swung out of position and re-loaded by an attendant.
The machine is then set in operation by quickly depressing the handle lever D¹
causing one revolution to be imparted to the shaft B, during the first quarter of
which the driver head is moved downward about one half of its stroke and during
such motion the heel is automatically and firmly compressed between the underside
of the perforated die block G, and the shoe sole held upon the last, for the purpose
of holding the heel, shoe and jack firmly in position during the nailing operation as
hereinabove set forth.
During the next quarter turn of the driving shaft the jack remains stationary
and the head F, continues to move downwards causing its drivers to drive the nails
into the heel and sole and causing the points of the nails to be clinched against the
metal heel plate K", and if a top piece is afterwards to be spanked on the heel, the
nail heads are left slightly projecting above the heel as is common in the art of
spanking top pieces. During the last half revolution of the driving shaft the
driver is automatically raised to its normal position, the pressure on the heel
removed by releasing the treadle lever L.
For the purpose of spanking on the top piece, the spanker plate carrying the
clamps P P with the top piece held between is swung into the position previously
occupied by the heel clamps; after the jack has been again raised by depressing
the treadle lever L the machine is set in operation as before, causing the projecting
upper ends of the nails to be pressed into the underside of the top piece, which is
thereby spanked on and secured to the heel without showing the nails in sight on
the top piece.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
