Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 5, 1921.
T 0 all to ham it may concern:
Be it known that I, ERASTUS E. VVINKLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lynn, in thecounty of Essex and State of lvlassachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Automatic Sole-Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art towhich it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to machines in which blanks, particularly those employed in the manufacture of shoe-soles, are operated upon. The object of the invention, generally stated, is to provide automatic means for handling the blanks for the purpose of supplying themsuccessively to the operating-means, and removing them successively therefrom, and also for the purpose of guiding and controlling both the blank and the operating-means during the operation on the blank.
Theinvention, in certain aspects is susceptible of embodiment in machines of various types, for performing various operations, but in other aspects it is peculiarlyapplicable to machines for performing a progressive operation upon the marginal portion of a sole-blank or other blank of irregular outline. In this aspect an object of the invention is to produce improved means for controlling automatically the various functions of the machine in accordance with the attainment, by the blank, of different positions in the course of the operation thereon.
Other objects of the invention, and the various features of construction and arrangement by which they are attained, will be set forth hereinafter. in connection with the description of the preferred embodiment of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a side-elevation of an automatic insole channeling and slitting machine embodying the present invention; Fig. 2 is a plan-view of the machine. with the exception of the rearmost portion, on a larger scale than Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a plan-view of the rear portion of the machine, on a larger scale than the preceding figures; Fig. 4; is a front-elevation of the rear portion of the machine, with the blank-supplying mechanism removed;
Fig. 5 is a side-elevation of the rear portion of the machine, with the parts broken away and in vertical section; Fig. 6 is a plan-view, in section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 1; Fig. 7 is a plan-view in section on the line 7-7 in Fig. i; Fig. .8 is a plan-view of an insole in its condition after the operation of the present machine; Fig. 9 is a front-elevation, partly in section, showing in detail the engagement, with the insole-blank, of the feedrollers and the channeling-knife and slittingknife; Fig. 10 is a side-elevation, partly in section on the line 10-10 in Fig. 3; Fig. 11 is a side-elevation, partly in section on the line 1111 in Fig. 4;, showing-particularly the automatic mechanism controlled by the end-feeler; Fig. 12 is a vertical sectionalview, on the line 12'12 in Fig. 4. showing details of the means for supporting and actuating the end-feeler; Fig. 13 is a view similar to Fig. 11, showing some of the parts in different relation; Fig. 14 is a sideelevation, partly in vertical section. showing parts of the mechanism shown in Fig. 11, but on a larger scale than said figure; Fig. 15 is a section on the line 1515 in Fig. 3, but ina different position than the latter figure; Fig. 16 is a section on the line 16-16 in Fig. 3, but on a larger scale; Fig. 17 is a sectionon the line 17-17 in Fig. 3; Figs. 18 and 19 are detail-views of one of the blank-pickers, in vertical median section. in two diiferent operative positions; F 20 is a section on the line 20-20 in Fig. 19; F 21 is a detail plan-view showing the picker of Fig. 18, together with a part of the actuating mechanism therefor; Fig. 22 is a plan-view, partly in horizontal section, of one of the stack-holders; Fig. 23 is a sideelevation of the stack-holders, partly in section on the line 23-23 in Fig. 22; Fig, 24 is a side-elevation, partly in vertical section on the line 2 l24; in Fig. 6; Fig. 25 is fragmentary elevation of parts of the blankreceiving and stacking mechanism, partly in section on the line 2525 in Fig. 2, but on a larger scale than the latter figure; Fig. 26 is a detail plan-view of part of the mechanism shown inFig. 25; Fig. 27 is a detailview, in plan, of part of the cam-mechanism of the machine; Fig. 28 is a detail elevation, partly in section on the line 2828 in Fig. 6, but on a larger scale than the latter figure, showing the locking-device for the", stack-elevating mechanism; Flg. 29 1s a hor1- zontal section on the line 29-29 in Fig. 28,; Fig. 30 is a horizontal section on the line 30-30 in Fig. 28; Fig. 31 is a detail'elevation, partly in section on the line 31*31 in Fig. 2, showing details of the blank-feeding mechanism; Fig. 32 is a detail elevation, partly in section on the line 32-32 in Fig. 6, but on a largerscale than the latter figure, illustrating the mechanism for rotating and locking the turntable; Fig. 33 is a detail elevation, partly in section on the line 3333 in Fig. 31; Fig. "34 is a vertical axial section, showing particularly the main camshaft and the cams and clutches mounted thereon; Fig. 35 is a diagrammatic planview showing various positions assumed by an insole-blank, duringthe operation of the machine thereon, with relation tothe edgegage and the edge-feeler; and Fig. 36 is a view similar to that in Fig. 35, but showing aninsole-blank of a larger size.
; The invention is illustrated as embodied in a machine having a channeling-knife and a slitting-knife which act upon the-marginal portion of an insole-blank so as to produce the usual channel, lip and feather. The knives are normally stationary so that they operate with what is commonly known as a dragcut, andv the blank is fed past the knives by means of upper and lower feedrollers 40 and 42 (Figs. 9 and 10), of which the knurled peripheriesbear against the upper andlower surfaces of that portion of the blank which is commonly described as the between-substance, namely the portion lying between the bottoms of the channel and the slit. The channeling-knife a l and the slitting-knife 46 have operative extremities of the usual form, and the points of their operation upon the blank are determined, with relation to the distance from the edge of the'blank, by the relative positions of the knives and of an edge-gage 48 (Figs. 10 and 35), against which the edge of the blank is constantly pressed as the result of the conjoint action of the feed-mechanism and of the blank-swinging mechanism hereinafter described. The edge-gage is mounted .in a stationary position on the frame of the machine.
111 Letters Patent of the United States No. 1,152,584 granted to the present applicant September 7, 1915, an automatic machine for operating upon insoles is described in which, as in the present machine, the insole is not only fed past the operating instrumentalities, but is also turned or swung, in its plane, to conform the direction of feed to the curvature of the edge of the insole, by the automatic mechanism of'the machine.
In said machine the turning movement of machine the blank is swung by automatic mechanism operating in the same general manner, but in this present mechanism the feeding function is divorced entirely from the blank-swinging mechanism, and the latter mechanism is somewhat differentin form from that of the machine in said patent. In
the present machine the blank is swung by means of two clamp-members 50 and 52 (Figs. 4, 7 and 10) which grip'the blankbetween them, at a point within or in front of the pointof operation of. the knives and the feed-rollers with the blank, and which are arranged to swing, while so gripping the blank in one direction or the other about a vertical axis which is approximately coincident with the said point of operation. I
To permit the movement just described the upper clamp-member is fixed on the lower endof arock-shaft 54, which turns in a bearing-sleeve 56 fixed on the frame of the machine, The lower clampsmember 52 is fixed on the upper end of a rod 58 (Figs. 1 and 5), which is arranged to turn and also to slide in a bearing 60 on the frame of the machine. 7 V '7 The engagement of the clamping-members with the blank is intermittent, and alternates with the intermittent rotation of the feed-rollers. The clamping-members engage the blank under the spring -pressure, a spring 62 being coiled around the rod 58 and tending to press the-clamp-member 52 into engagement with the blank. The operative surfaces of the clamp-members are serrated, as shown in Fig. 4, to permit them to hold the blank with sufficient security without the use of excessive pressure against'the blank. In order to release the blank from the action of the clamp-members, cam-mechanism is provided for intermittently drawing downwardly the rod 58 and the clamp-j aw 52. A collar 6 1 is fixed to the lower end of the rod, and this collar is engaged by an arm 66 (Fig. 1) fixed on the forward end of the rock-shaft 68 which has a bearing on the frame of the machine. A cam-lever 70 projects from the rear end of the rook-shaft, and carries a roller 72 which engages a path in a cam 74. By means hereinafter described this cam is rotated constantly during the operation of the machine, so as tocause the blank to be clamped and unclamped at regular brief intervals. o
lVhile the clamp engages a blank, as just described, it may either remain stationary or be swung more or less to one side or the other, according to whether the edge of the blank, adjacent the point of operation of the knives, is or is not, at the moment, in the proper angularrelation to the direction of
