PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Edge-setting Machines.
We, PAUL CAVE, AMOS CAVE, ARTHUR CAVE and FREDERICK CAVE,
of the Firm of John Cave & Sons, of Rushden, R.S.O., in the County of
Northampton, Boot and Shoe Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
37 66
Our invention relates to edge setting machines and has for its object to adapt
the same for performing the operation of what is known as "bunking,' beading"
or "stitch wheeling."
According to our invention we apply to the vibrating head a shank carrying an
ordinary stitch wheel or we can apply the stitch wheel to the usual fore part iron
or waist iron or to a combination fore-part iron and waist iron.
We can, if desired, use a machine having three vibrating heads, one carrying
the fore-part iron, another the waist iron and the third the stitch wheel so that the
operations of edge setting and bunking or stitch wheeling can be carried on
successively without any necessity for readjusting the parts after either operation.

Improvements in or connected with Edge-setting Machines.
We, PAUL CAVE, AMOS CAVE, ARTHUR CAVE and FREDERICK CAVE,
of the Firm of John Cave & Sons, of Rushden, R.S.O., in the County of
Northampton, Boot and Shoe Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-

"
Our invention relates to edge-setting machines and has for its object to adapt
the same for performing the operation of what is known as bunking,' beading
or "stitch wheeling."
According to our invention we apply to the vibrating head of the edge-setting
machine a shank carrying an ordinary stitch wheel.
To enable our invention to be fully understood we will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figure 1 is a front elevation; and,
Figure 2 a side elevation of a part of the usual edge-setting machine having our
invention applied thereto; and,
Figure 3 is an elevation of our improved tool detached.
a is the usual vibrating head of the edge-setting machine the free end of which
is divided longitudinally and provided with a set-screw to form a clip by means of
which the tool is to be held.
b is our bunking, beading or stitch wheeling tool which comprises a shank c
(adapted to be introduced into the clip hereinbefore referred to) and a head d

page_text: carrying the stitch wheel e upon a pivot as will be readily understood by reference
to Figure 3.
In using our improved tool the work is held up against the same in the same
manner as when using the usual fore part iron or waist iron.
In some cases we make a machine having three vibrating arms one of which
carries the fore part iron, another a waist iron and a third our improved bunking,
beading or stitch wheeling tool, so that the several operations of edge-setting and
bunking or stitch wheeling can be carried on successively without the necessity
for changing the tools as would be necessary if only a single vibrating tool were
employed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The combination with an edge-setting machine of a bunking, beading or
stitch wheeling tool having a shank adapted to be inserted in the usual vibrating
head and carrying a stitch wheel at one end, substantially as described.
2. The improved bunking, beading or stitch wheeling tool hereinbefore described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawing adapted for use in an edge-setting
machine as set forth.
