SOLE-CUTTER AND NUMBERING-MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 23, 1912. Serial No. 605,953.

Application filed. February 1, 1911.

To all whom it may. concern:

Be it known that I, Hormone S. MIRAN- nnr'rn, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Spencer, In the county of Worcester and State. of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Imrovements in Sole-Cutters and Numberinghllachines, of which the. following is a. speci fication.

This invention relates to shoe machinery and particularly to. a combined sole outtlng and numbering machine.

An object of thisinventionis to provide means for cutting, the ed es of the soles at four difierent locations, v1z., at the toecurve of the solo on. the inside of the ball line 0 and at the front portion ofthe heel on. each side in order. that the edge portions of the soles may be turned up without curling, said sole edges being out half way through. I

A further object of. this invention is to rovide novel means. for stamping the size, y number, on the said soles and 1n th s connection a novel system of numberlng is employed and made effective by the positlon of the numbers'w-ith relation to the-edges of the. sole or heel; the invention further contemplating the provision of novel means for permitting movement of the sole numberlng element and means for reta1n1ng. the said element at different positions of ad ustment.

With the foregoing and other ob ects- 1n View, the invention consists in the details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.

In describing the inventlon 1n detall, ref erence will be had to the accompany ng drawings forming part of this specification wherein like characters denote'correspondarts in the several views, and in whicli- Figure 1 illustrates a wow ln-front elevation of a machine embodying the inventlon; Fig. 2 illustrates a side elevation thereof; Fig; 3 illustrates a top plan v 1ew;.F1 g. 4 illustrates a view similar to Fig. 2. except that a portion of the machine is omitted and the cutting head is in its lowermost position; Fig. 5 illustrates an enlarged detail view of the. work rest or table Fig. 6 illustrates a detail view of a fragment of said table, partly in; section-showing the means for retaining the numbering mechanlsm at d fferent positions of adjustment; Fig. 7 illustrates a perspective view of one of the of the sole Fig. 8 illustrates a perspective View of an edge cutter designedtooperate at the toe end of. the sole; Fig. 9 illustrates a plan view of the. sole after being subjected to the action of the machine; Fig. 10 illustrates a detail view of. a fragment of thesole showing the heel ortion. thereof numbered to denote a size di erent from that indicated in Fig. 9-; and Fig. 11. illustrates an edge view of a portion of the sole shown in Fig. I 10,. with theedge cut half-way through.

In these, drawings 12 denotes a base havmg a standard 13 rising therefrom and terrninating in av bearing 14 for thereciprocatmg rod 15 which extends downwardly through the base and is designed to be moved any suitable manner forthe purpose of carrying the cutter head (.to be presently explained). The base 12'is provided with a ed plate 16 containing a work rest 17 which work rest is provided with a series of plates 18 termed holding plates. or lugs, which are provided for the purpose of holding the edges of the soles 19 which may be applied to the work rest. It is shown in Fig. 5 that the. holding plates or 18 having slots 20 which permit the movement of the holding plates relative to the binding screws 21. by which they are held on the work rest, therefore thdposition of said platesv may be changed to suit. the. particular configuration of" the sole being held. The standard 13 has. a. guide 22. on its inner edge which is engaged by a heel 24 of the cutter head 25, the said cutter head being provided with an aperture 26 for the reception of the rod 15, and said head is further provided with a bindingv screw 27 which is designed to engage the rod 15 for clamping the cutter head thereto so that the reciprocal motion of the rod is communicated to the head and the said" head is carried thereby.

The cutter head has a plate 28 secured to it by the bolts 29 which bolts extend through slots 30 in the cutter head and through slots 31 in the plate 28 thereby permitting the adjustment of the plate 28 transversely as well as rearwardly and forwardly of the cutter head. The plate 28 has the edge cutting knives 32 secured to its edge by means of the screws 33, thesaid knives 32 being provided with slots 34 which permit the adjilstment of the knives under the influence of the screws 35 which are threaded in the lugs 36' on the plate 28. As heretofore knives; cutting the slit. in the edge portion stated, the knives 32 are three in number and are designed to operate on the soles for cutting the same on each side of the sole in front of the heel, on the inside of the ball line. The knife 37 which is provided to cut the sole at the toe end thereof is different in contour from the knife 32 and has two cutting edges 38 and 39 at right angles to each other. The knife 37 is provided with the slot 40 in order that it ma be adjusted on the screw 41 under the in uence of the said screw 35.

A' plunger 42 extends through the cutter head and through the plate 28 and is designed to coact with the numbering mechanism to be presently explained. The plunger 42 is secured to the head by means of a set screw 43 extending through the said plunger and anchored in the edge of the head.

Under the influence of the rod 15, the head 25 may be moved from the position shown in Fig. 2 to the position shown in Fig. 4 in which latter position the knives and plunger are coacting with the work rest and numbering mechanism to operate on the sole 44 in wh1ch position .of the parts the sole is provided with the slots or cuts 45, 46, 47 and 48 as well as the numeral 5 shownin Fig. 9 of the drawing.

For the purpose of numbering the soles, the work rest is provided with a slot .forming a seat for the die bar 49 which die bar has a series of numbering dies 50 which may be brought to position under the plunger 42 for the purpose of pressing the sole into contact with the number on the die in order that the size of the sole may be impressed thereon. In this connection a system of numbering is utilized which has been found advantageous and to that end the numbers have been put on the dies in such a way as to indicate whether the numeral applied to the sole denotes a full size or a full size and a half size of the number impressed thereon. To that end, the said numbers have been placed on the die so that they will stand vertically with relation to the edges of the sole or diagonally with relation to said edges. The former position of the member will indicate that the size of the sole corresponds to the number applied thereto whereas where the number is arranged at an angle or diagonallyo'f the sole it will indicate a half size of an additional number, for instance in Figs. 9 and 10, Fig. 9 is marked to denote that the size is number 5 whereas in Fig. 10, the numeral indicates that the sole is size five and one-half.

The bar 49 is provided with seats or recesses similar to the recess 51 shown in'Fig. 6 and the said recess is designed to receive a latch 52 which extends through an aperture 53 in the work rest. The latch is pressed inwardly by means of the spring 54 so that its inner end may be seated in the recess 51 of the bar, thus holding the bar against movement until the latch is manipulated for releasing the bar when the said bar may be set to position a die ofthe desired number under the plunger. By this means, the numbering mechanism may be associated with a cutting mechanism and the said numbering mechanism may be made interchangeable or adjustable so that the proper numeral may be applied to the sole.
