- the present invention relates to machines for setting eyelets and lacing-hooks, and more particularly to that type of machine whichis designed to set'the eyelets or hooks simultaneously in two layers of material, such as the sides of a shoe-upper.
- the object of the present invention is to improve the construction and mode of opera tion of a duplex eyeleting-machine, and particularly to render the punches and settingdies more certain and uniform in their operation.
- a further object is to improve the workholding devices, whereby to positively insure the immovability of the work during the operation of the punching and setting dies in forming the holes and setting the eyelets or hooks, and thus insure the correct and uniform action of such, devices on the work.
- a further object is to improve and simplify the work-feeding mechanism and to provide simple means under the control of the operator for varying the feed of the work and also to simplify the eyelet-feeding mechanism and to provide means whereby such mechanism may be thrown out of operation when the machine is employed in setting hooks instead of eyelets.

- Figs. 13 and 14 are enlarged details hereinafter described.
- Fig. 15 illustrates separately from the rest of the machine the feed mechanism.
- the machine comprises a frame or head I, mounted upon a standard 2, (the upper part only of which is shown in the drawings.)
- a standard 2 (the upper part only of which is shown in the drawings.)
- suitable bearings 3 in which is mounted the cam-shaft 4:, which carries a series of camsab c d e, and a pulley which actuates the several instrumentalities of the machine, as will hereinafter be described.
- Motion is imparted to the cam-shat t 4 by the pulley 5, which is constantly driven by a belt from any suitable source of power and which is coupled and uncoupled from the shaft at by the start and stop mechanism, which will now be described.
- a friction-disk 6 which is secured to said shaft so as to turn therewith and also to have a limited movement along said shaft by means of a key 7, secured in the hub of the disk 6 and pro- 'jected into an elongated keyway 8, formed in said shaft 4.
- the disk 6 has a'beveled face 9, which when brought into contact with a leather or frictional surface 10, carried by the pulley 5, will lock the disk 6 to said pulley 5 and cause the disk 6 and shaft 4 to partake of the rotary motion of the pulley 5, thus imparting motion to the movable parts 'of the machine.
- the disk 6 is moved along the shaft 4 to cause its beveled face 9 to engage the friction-surface 10 on the pulley 5 by means of springs 11, which are seated in a nut 12, threaded on the extended hub 13 of the disk 6, which springs bear against a collar 14, carried by a threaded bolt 15, screwed in the end of the shaft 4.
- the disk 6 on the opposite side of its periphery carries a beveled face 16, which is arranged to be brought into contact with a friction-surface 17, carried by a fixed annular brake-plate 18, which is provided with extended arms 19, (only one being shown,) which are adjustably secured, by means of threaded bolts and threaded sleeves 21, to the integral arms 22 of the frame 1.
- the pulley 5 is recessed, as shown at 23, and that the disk 6 and annular brake-plate 18 are received in said recess and that the brake-plate may be adjusted with relation to the disk 6.
- the foregoing arrangement is such that a movement of the disk 6 by means of the springs 11 toward the pulley 5 will cause the pulley to turn said disk and the shaft 4 to set the machine in motion, and a movement of the disk 6 away from the pulley 5 and into contact with the fixed brake-plate will disconnect the pulley from the shaft and stop the machine, the pulley, however, continuing to rotate.
- the movements of the disk 6 shall be produced by mechanism under the control of the operator, whereby he may cause the machine to make one or a series of cycles of operation, as desired.
- a frame 27 which carries inclines 28, which cooperate with inclines 29, formed on the brakeplate l8,the arrangement being such that an upward movement of the frame 27 will permit the springs 11 to move the disk 6 into engagement with the pulley 5, and a downward movement of such frame will by means of the cooperating inclines 28 and 29 and the collar 24 and nut 12 move the disk 6 in the opposite direction to disconnect the disk 6 from the pulley 5 and connect it with the brake-plate 18, stopping the machine.
- the frame 27 is moved upwardly by means of a spring 30, which is seated in a recess 31 in the collar 24, and it is automatically moved downward by means of an eccentric-strap 32, which encircles the eccentric 26, formed in the hub of the disk 6, said eccentric-strap 32 reciprooating vertically during the rotation of the disk 6 and being guided by a pin 33, fixed to the depending arm 34 of the frame 27, which engages a slot 35, formed in a depending arm 36 of the eccentric-strap 32.
- Pivotally connected to the depending arm34 of the frame 27 is a detent 37, which is provided with a notched dog 38, which when the detent is rocked to the position shown in Fig.
- the detent 37 is pivotally connected by a rod (not shown) to a foottreadle, (not shown,) whereby it may be rocked as desired by the operator, it being clear that if it be held in the position shown in Fig. 8 the machine will continue to run; but as soon as the detent is rocked to the position shown in Fig. 9 the next downward movement of the eccentric-strap 32 will cause a downward movement of the frame 27 and the consequent stopping of the machine.
- the eyelets be set in both edges of the upper of a shoe simultaneously, the sides of the upper being laid together with the edges in alinement with or coincident with each other and placed in the machine with their inner surfaces lying against the opposite sides of a guide-plate and a the plate and the edges of the upper in contact with a suitable edge-guide, which regulates the distance at which the eyelets are placed from the edges of the upper. While thus positioned the machine is set in operation, and
- the upper is gripped or clamped against the guide-plate by suitable clamping devices, the punches are operated to punch the holes, and the eyeleting-dies receive and insert the eyelets in the holes thus punched. Then the clamping devices releaselthe upper, which is fed forward by the eyeleting-dies, all of which is accomplished in the machine of the draw ings as follows:
- the guide-plate 40 is secured to the frame 1 at the right hand thereof by means of screws 41, which pass through the shank of said plate, and said plate 40, as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 6, extends angularly forward toward the right of the machine, whereby the upper may be accurately placed therein, said plate extending between the two flaps or sides of the upper, and the toe of the upper extending toward the left of the operator as he faces the machine. (See upper in dotted lines, Fig.
- edge-guide 42 Embracing the shank of the guide-plate 40 is an edge-guide 42, which has guide-faces 43 disposed uponopposite sides of the shank of the guide-plate and against which the edges of the upper bear and which is also provided with guiding flanges or wings 44, secured to the guide 42 by means of screws 441, which wings confine and guide the edges of the upper, preventing the lateral displacement thereof during the feeding movement.
- the edge-guide is provided with a hole which receives the pin 45, upwardly projected from the guide-plate 40, and to which the edgeguide 42 is secured by means of the set-screw 451, the position of the edge-guide 42 on the said pin 45 determining the position of the guide-faces 43 with relation to the point of operation of the punching and eyeleting devices.
- the clamping devices in the machine of the drawings are shown at 46 and are carried by or formed integrally with the arms 47 of the bell-crank levers 48, which are fulcrumed upon shafts 49, mounted in bearings 50 of the head or frame 1.
- the arms 47 extend downward and toward each other, as clearly shown in Fig. 2, so as to bring the clamping devices 46 upon opposite sides of the guide-plate 4O,- against which the sides of the upper are clamped while being punched and the eyelets set.
- the clamping devices 46 may have their inner faces provided with rubber or other soft surfaces 51 to prevent injury to the upper of the shoe.
- Each lever 48 has an arm 52, the meeting ends of which are provided with the interconnecting head 53 and fork 54, whereby a rocking motion imparted to one of said levers will be imparted to the other to cause the clamping devices 46 to move toward and away from the guide-plate 40.
- This rocking movement in one direction preferably in the direction to bring the clamps 46 in contact with the work, is produced by a coiled spring 55, the opposite ends of which are secured, respectively, to the arms 47, and the rocking movement in the opposite direction to release the work is produced by the cam a, the periphery of which is engaged by a cam-roll 56, carried by an arm 57, projected from one of the levers 48, as shown clearly in Fig. 2 of the drawings.
- the cam a is preferably so formed as to permit the spring 55 to maintain the clamps 46 in contact with the Work at all times except during the feeding of the work.
- the punches 58 are threaded into tubular sleeves 59, which are mounted to slide in tubular bearings 60, so as to advance and retract the punches toward and from the work, said sleeves being retained normally retracted, or in the position shown in Fig. 5, by means of springs 61, confined in the sleeves 59 and bearing at one end against the closed end of the sleeves and at the opposite end against pins 62, fixed in the bearings 60 and passing through slots 63, formed in the sleeves 59.
- Each punch is provided with an ejectingpin 64, arranged to slide therein and operate to eject the piece of leather punched from the upper.
- the bearings 60 are supported by the yoke-shaped frame or support 65, which will be hereinafter called the feed-frame, which is supported upon a shaft 66, mounted in bearings 67, carried by the arms 68 of a lifting frame 69, which is fulcrumed on a shaft 70, mounted in bearings in the frame 1, and is provided with an arm 71, carrying a cam-roll 72, which engages the cam-groove in the cam 17, whereby the lifting-frame 69 is operated to raise and lower the feed-frame for a purpose to be described.
- the feed-frame which is supported upon a shaft 66, mounted in bearings 67, carried by the arms 68 of a lifting frame 69, which is fulcrumed on a shaft 70, mounted in bearings in the frame 1, and is provided with an arm 71, carrying a cam-roll 72, which engages the cam-groove in the cam 17, whereby the lifting-frame 69 is operated to raise and lower the feed-frame for a purpose to be described.
- the feed-frame also supports in bearings 73 below the bearings 60 the sliding tubular sleeves 74, into the inner end of which are threaded the setting-dies 75, which may be of any usual or preferred form and provided with the sliding pins 76 for picking off and sustaining the eyelets.
- the tubular sleeves are maintained in the position shown in the drawings with the setting-dies retracted and the pins 76 projecting therefrom by means of coiled springs 77, which hear at one end against a pin 78, fastened in the bearing 73 and passing through slots 78 formed in the sleeve 74 and also in a stopsleeve 7 9, fitted in the sleeve 74.
- the outer ends of the sleeves 74 are open, as at 80, and in the openings are fitted hardened blocks 81, which are backed up by strong springs 82, the inner ends of which bear against the end of the stop-sleeve 79.
- the above arrangement is such that the two springs contained in the sleeves 74 act independently of each other, the springs 77 acting to return the sleeves to their retracted position and the strong springs 82 permitting a cushioning or yielding actuation of the dies during the upsetting and the clenching of the eyelets.
- a die-plate 83 Cooperating with the punches 58 and the setting-dies is a die-plate 83, which is fastened to the feed-frame 65 by means of the headed bolt 84 and which has its lower end disposed between the two sets of punches and setting-dies and substantially in alinement with the guiding-plate 40, it being understood that the lower end of plate 83 enters between the two sides or flaps of the shoe.
- the punches act against the smooth surface of the dieplate 83 in punching the holes for the eyelets, and immediately below the point where the punches operate said plate 83 is provided on opposite sides with nipples or dies 85, which cooperate with the setting-dies 75 in upsetting and clenching the eyelets.
- the punches and setting-dies are advanced toward the die-plate 83 by means of bell-crank levers, hereinafter called punch and die levers 86, which are fulcrumed upon the same shafts 49 which support the work-clamp levers 48.
- the arms 87 of the punch and die levers 86 are arranged to engage the sleeves 59 of the punchesand also to engage the blocks 81 in the ends of the sleeves 74 of the setting-dies, as will be described, and the arms 88 of said levers are pivotally connected, as by the pin-and-slot connection 89, so that motion imparted to one will be transmitted to the other and cause a simultaneous operation thereof.
- One of said punch and die 1evers is provided with a camroll 90, which engages the peripheral cam 0, whereby said levers are rocked to operate the punches and eyeleting-dies.
- the cam c is so formed as to impart two oscillations to the punch-levers during a single cycle of motion of the machine, first to advance the punches and then to advance the setting dies, and that the cam 19 is so shaped and turned with relation to the cam c as to raise and lower the feed-frame alternately with The work is fed along by the setting-dies, and for this purpose while said dies are still in engagement with the eyelets which have been clenched or set the feed-frame is moved laterally with relation to the guide-plate or in the direction shown by the arrow in Fig. 6.
- This movement of the feed-frame is accomplished by means of a link 91, one end of which is pivotally connected at 92 to the feed-frame 65 and the opposite end of which is pivotally connected at 93 to a link 94, which in turn is pivotally connected to an arm 95, extending from a sleeve 96, said sleeve being mounted in bearings 98 in arms 99, projecting from the fixed frame 1.
- the sleeve 96 also has another arm 100, which engages a cam-path formed in the feed-cam d. (See Fig. 15.)
- the above arrangement is such that the rocking movement imparted to sleeve 96 by means of the cam 61 will by means of the links 94 and 91 be transmitted to the feedframe 65, thus feeding the work along, as hereinbefore described.
- a link 102 which at its lower end is pivoted at 103 to a feed-adjusting lever 104, carried by a rock-shaft 105, mounted in a bearing 106 of the fixed frame 1, and at its opposite end provided with an arm 107, to which is connected by a rod (not shown) a foot-treadle,(not shown,) whereby the feedadjusting lever may be rocked by the means described to change the position of the center of motion of the pivotal connection of the links 91 and 94, and thus regulate the throw of the feed-frame 65.
- the swinging movement of the feed-adjusting lever 104 is limited by stops 108, which are arranged to be fitted into the openings in the quadrant-plate 109, which is mounted to have a slight swinging movement, for a purpose which will hereinafter appear, upon the end of the shaft 105 in rear of the feed-adjusting lever 104. It will be observed that while the amplitude of oscillation of the arm 95 is constant the amplitude of oscillation of the feed-frame 65 is variable and that the variations in amplitude of oscillation of the feed-frame are caused by changing the position of the pivot 103, whereby the horizontal component of the motion of pivot 93 is varied.
- the eyelets are contained in a hopper 110, from which lead two eyelet-chutes 111, which are downwardly and forwardly extended and given a quarter-turn, so as to properly present the eyelets to the setting-dies, the lower ends of the chutes being notched, as shown at 112, whereby when they are advanced into the line of movement of the settingdies the pins 76 will enter and remove an eyelet from each chute.
- the chutes 111 are preferably formed integrally with the bottom of the hopper 110, as shown, and said hopper is fulcrumed upon a shaft 113, fitted in bearing 114 of the frame 1, whereby the hopper and chutes may be rocked to advance the chutes from the position shown in Fig. 1 1
- Said hopper is rocked in one direction, so as to advance the chutes to the point of operation of the settingdies, by means of a spring 115, one end of which is connected to an arm or lever 116, fixed to the shaft 113, and the opposite end of which is secured to the frame 1, said lever being provided with a cam-roll 117, which engages the cam e on the shaft 4, by means of which the hopper is rocked to retract the chutes.
- a rotating brush 118 is located within the hopper and is mounted on a shaft 119, which passes through a bearing 120 and carries at its outer end a pulley 121, driven by a belt 122, which passes over idle pulleys 123 'and is driven by a pulley 124 on the drivingshaft 4.
- the chutes 111 are prevented from moving, as described, and are held in their retracted position against the tension of the spring 115.
- a spring-pressed pawl 118 carried by an arm 119 projected from the quadrant-plate 109 and arranged to engage the lower end of the lever 116, said quadrant plate being rocked backward by means of the feed-adjusting plate 104 and the foot-treadle, as described,said feed-ad j usting plate engaging the stop 108 at the left, as shown in Fig. 13, and moving back the quadrant-plate to place the pawl in position to engage the end of the lever 116.
- the quadrant-plate is normally held from swinging to the left during the setting of eyelets by means of stud 120 fitted to turn in a bearing in the standard 2 and passing through a circular opening 121 formed in the arm 119 The stud is cut away, as
- the arrangement being such that when the stud is in the position shown in Fig. 3 the quadrant-plate may have a slight movement to the left, so that the hook 118 may engage the lever 116 and prevent the hopper from IIO swinging; but when said stud is given a halfturn (to the position shown in Fig. 14) the said plate will be held from movement to the left.
- the above-described arrangement is such that the distance between successive eyelets may be regulated within prescribed limits by the operator during the operation of the machine.
- the stop-pins 108 are set, so that they determine the minimum and maximum distances, respectively, of the eyelets apart, the work being positioned in the machine and the stud 120 being in the position shown in Fig. 14, whereby the quadrant-plate is held from motion to the left by said stud and from motion to the right by the stud 122 mounted in the fixed frame of the machine.
- the machine is then set in motion and eyelets are set, the distances apart being regulated by the operator through the treadle and rock-shaft 105, and when the requisite number has been set the operator rot-ates the stud 120 to the position shown in Fig.
- the punch-levers are then retracted and the feed-frame lifted by the lifting-frame to bring the setting-dies into the position formerly occupied by the punches and in line with the holes formed by the punches, and so that the ends of the setting die carriers may be engaged by the punch-levers.
- the punch- 'levers are then again operated to advance the setting-dies toward the complementary dies on the punch-plate, during which movement the hopper and chutes are rocked and retracted, permitting the pins of the settingdies to remove an eyelet from each chute, which eyelets are carried toward the work and set or clenched in the holes formed by the punches.
- the clamping devices are actuated to release the work and the feed-frame is rocked laterally to move the work forward, after which the clamping devices again clamp the Work and the feed-frame is returned and lowered for another operation of the machine.
- the punch-levers are provided with laterally-projected offset ends 871, which hold the setting dies against the work to hold and support the work during the feed movement of the feed-frame while the clamping-levers are released.
- an eyeleting-machine the combination with a feed-frame, of a pair of punches and a pair of setting-dies disposed upon opposite sides of said frame, means for actuating said punches and dies and means for moving said dies while in engagement with the eyelets in the shoe for feeding the shoe, substantially as described.
- An eyeleting-machine comprising suitable mechanism, and means for causing said mechanism to simultaneously set two eyelets in axial alinement in two layers of work, one superimposed upon the other, and for causing said mechanism to feed the Work while the eyelet-setting dies are in contact therewith, substantially as described.

To ct ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that LMARSHALL HENRY PEAR- SON, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, and a resident of No. 12 Victoria Park road, Leicester, in the county of Leicester, England have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Eyeleting-Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The present invention relates to machines for setting eyelets and lacing-hooks, and more particularly to that type of machine whichis designed to set'the eyelets or hooks simultaneously in two layers of material, such as the sides of a shoe-upper. v
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction and mode of opera tion of a duplex eyeleting-machine, and particularly to render the punches and settingdies more certain and uniform in their operation.
A further object is to improve the workholding devices, whereby to positively insure the immovability of the work during the operation of the punching and setting dies in forming the holes and setting the eyelets or hooks, and thus insure the correct and uniform action of such, devices on the work.
A further object is to improve and simplify the work-feeding mechanism and to provide simple means under the control of the operator for varying the feed of the work and also to simplify the eyelet-feeding mechanism and to provide means whereby such mechanism may be thrown out of operation when the machine is employed in setting hooks instead of eyelets.
To the above ends and to secure other advantages obvious to one skilled in the art the present invention consists of the devices and combinations of deviceswhich will be hereinafter described and claimed.
The present invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whi ch- Figure 1 shows a front elevation of a machine embodying the same with the lower partof the supporting-standard omitted. Fig. 2 shows a side elevation of the machine as it appears in Fig. 1 looking at the right. Fig.
3 shows a vertical section on the line 0000, Fig. 2, with parts omitted, and also on the line y y, Fig. 2, through the clutch and drivingshaft. Fig. 4c shows a vertical sectional view illustrating the construction of the punchframe and the. mode of operation of the punches and dies. Fig. 5 shows in an enlarged View the punch-frame removed, also showing the lower part of the guide-plate, together with the edge-guide, the punch and settingdie in one side being shown in vertical section to illustrate the interior construction. Fig. 6 shows in front elevation and partial vertical section details of the mechanism, also enlarged. Fig. 7 shows the cam-shaft removed from the machine and the cams and pulley thereon. Figs. 8, 9, and 10 show details of the start and stop mechanism. Figs. 11 and 12 show, respectively, a front elevation and a vertical sectional view of the hopper and attached chute. Figs. 13 and 14 are enlarged details hereinafter described. Fig. 15 illustrates separately from the rest of the machine the feed mechanism.
Similar, reference characters will be employed to designate corresponding parts.
The machine comprises a frame or head I, mounted upon a standard 2, (the upper part only of which is shown in the drawings.) In the frame 1 are provided suitable bearings 3, in which is mounted the cam-shaft 4:, which carries a series of camsab c d e, and a pulley which actuates the several instrumentalities of the machine, as will hereinafter be described. Motion is imparted to the cam-shat t 4 by the pulley 5, which is constantly driven by a belt from any suitable source of power and which is coupled and uncoupled from the shaft at by the start and stop mechanism, which will now be described.
Upon the shaftais mounted a friction-disk 6, which is secured to said shaft so as to turn therewith and also to have a limited movement along said shaft by means of a key 7, secured in the hub of the disk 6 and pro- 'jected into an elongated keyway 8, formed in said shaft 4. The disk 6 has a'beveled face 9, which when brought into contact with a leather or frictional surface 10, carried by the pulley 5, will lock the disk 6 to said pulley 5 and cause the disk 6 and shaft 4 to partake of the rotary motion of the pulley 5, thus imparting motion to the movable parts 'of the machine. The disk 6 is moved along the shaft 4 to cause its beveled face 9 to engage the friction-surface 10 on the pulley 5 by means of springs 11, which are seated in a nut 12, threaded on the extended hub 13 of the disk 6, which springs bear against a collar 14, carried by a threaded bolt 15, screwed in the end of the shaft 4. The disk 6 on the opposite side of its periphery carries a beveled face 16, which is arranged to be brought into contact with a friction-surface 17, carried by a fixed annular brake-plate 18, which is provided with extended arms 19, (only one being shown,) which are adjustably secured, by means of threaded bolts and threaded sleeves 21, to the integral arms 22 of the frame 1. It will be noted that the pulley 5 is recessed, as shown at 23, and that the disk 6 and annular brake-plate 18 are received in said recess and that the brake-plate may be adjusted with relation to the disk 6. The foregoing arrangement is such that a movement of the disk 6 by means of the springs 11 toward the pulley 5 will cause the pulley to turn said disk and the shaft 4 to set the machine in motion, and a movement of the disk 6 away from the pulley 5 and into contact with the fixed brake-plate will disconnect the pulley from the shaft and stop the machine, the pulley, however, continuing to rotate. It is designed that the movements of the disk 6 shall be produced by mechanism under the control of the operator, whereby he may cause the machine to make one or a series of cycles of operation, as desired.
Mounted to slide vertically upon a loose collar 24 upon the hub 13 of the disk 6 and confined between a flange 25 of said collar and an eccentric 26, formed in said hub, is a frame 27, which carries inclines 28, which cooperate with inclines 29, formed on the brakeplate l8,the arrangement being such that an upward movement of the frame 27 will permit the springs 11 to move the disk 6 into engagement with the pulley 5, and a downward movement of such frame will by means of the cooperating inclines 28 and 29 and the collar 24 and nut 12 move the disk 6 in the opposite direction to disconnect the disk 6 from the pulley 5 and connect it with the brake-plate 18, stopping the machine. The frame 27 is moved upwardly by means of a spring 30, which is seated in a recess 31 in the collar 24, and it is automatically moved downward by means of an eccentric-strap 32, which encircles the eccentric 26, formed in the hub of the disk 6, said eccentric-strap 32 reciprooating vertically during the rotation of the disk 6 and being guided by a pin 33, fixed to the depending arm 34 of the frame 27, which engages a slot 35, formed in a depending arm 36 of the eccentric-strap 32. Pivotally connected to the depending arm34 of the frame 27 is a detent 37, which is provided with a notched dog 38, which when the detent is rocked to the position shown in Fig. 9 is arranged to be engaged bya shoulder 39 on the arm 36 of the eccentric-strap 32,whereupon the downward movement of the eccentric-strap will cause the frame 27 to move downward to release the clutch and apply the brake, as before described. If the detent be rocked to the position shown in Fig. 8, the dog 38 will be disengaged from the shoulder 39 and permit the frame 27 to be raised by the spring to release the brake and connect the clutch. The detent 37 is pivotally connected by a rod (not shown) to a foottreadle, (not shown,) whereby it may be rocked as desired by the operator, it being clear that if it be held in the position shown in Fig. 8 the machine will continue to run; but as soon as the detent is rocked to the position shown in Fig. 9 the next downward movement of the eccentric-strap 32 will cause a downward movement of the frame 27 and the consequent stopping of the machine.
In the present machine, as heretofore stated, it is designed that the eyelets be set in both edges of the upper of a shoe simultaneously, the sides of the upper being laid together with the edges in alinement with or coincident with each other and placed in the machine with their inner surfaces lying against the opposite sides of a guide-plate and a the plate and the edges of the upper in contact with a suitable edge-guide, which regulates the distance at which the eyelets are placed from the edges of the upper. While thus positioned the machine is set in operation, and
the upper is gripped or clamped against the guide-plate by suitable clamping devices, the punches are operated to punch the holes, and the eyeleting-dies receive and insert the eyelets in the holes thus punched. Then the clamping devices releaselthe upper, which is fed forward by the eyeleting-dies, all of which is accomplished in the machine of the draw ings as follows:
The guide-plate 40 is secured to the frame 1 at the right hand thereof by means of screws 41, which pass through the shank of said plate, and said plate 40, as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 6, extends angularly forward toward the right of the machine, whereby the upper may be accurately placed therein, said plate extending between the two flaps or sides of the upper, and the toe of the upper extending toward the left of the operator as he faces the machine. (See upper in dotted lines, Fig. 6.) Embracing the shank of the guide-plate 40 is an edge-guide 42, which has guide-faces 43 disposed uponopposite sides of the shank of the guide-plate and against which the edges of the upper bear and which is also provided with guiding flanges or wings 44, secured to the guide 42 by means of screws 441, which wings confine and guide the edges of the upper, preventing the lateral displacement thereof during the feeding movement. The edge-guide is provided with a hole which receives the pin 45, upwardly projected from the guide-plate 40, and to which the edgeguide 42 is secured by means of the set-screw 451, the position of the edge-guide 42 on the said pin 45 determining the position of the guide-faces 43 with relation to the point of operation of the punching and eyeleting devices.
The clamping devices in the machine of the drawings are shown at 46 and are carried by or formed integrally with the arms 47 of the bell-crank levers 48, which are fulcrumed upon shafts 49, mounted in bearings 50 of the head or frame 1. The arms 47 extend downward and toward each other, as clearly shown in Fig. 2, so as to bring the clamping devices 46 upon opposite sides of the guide-plate 4O,- against which the sides of the upper are clamped while being punched and the eyelets set. If desired, the clamping devices 46 may have their inner faces provided with rubber or other soft surfaces 51 to prevent injury to the upper of the shoe. Each lever 48 has an arm 52, the meeting ends of which are provided with the interconnecting head 53 and fork 54, whereby a rocking motion imparted to one of said levers will be imparted to the other to cause the clamping devices 46 to move toward and away from the guide-plate 40. This rocking movement in one direction, preferably in the direction to bring the clamps 46 in contact with the work, is produced by a coiled spring 55, the opposite ends of which are secured, respectively, to the arms 47, and the rocking movement in the opposite direction to release the work is produced by the cam a, the periphery of which is engaged by a cam-roll 56, carried by an arm 57, projected from one of the levers 48, as shown clearly in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The cam a is preferably so formed as to permit the spring 55 to maintain the clamps 46 in contact with the Work at all times except during the feeding of the work.
The punches and eyelet-setting dies in the machine of the drawings are arranged as follows:
The punches 58 are threaded into tubular sleeves 59, which are mounted to slide in tubular bearings 60, so as to advance and retract the punches toward and from the work, said sleeves being retained normally retracted, or in the position shown in Fig. 5, by means of springs 61, confined in the sleeves 59 and bearing at one end against the closed end of the sleeves and at the opposite end against pins 62, fixed in the bearings 60 and passing through slots 63, formed in the sleeves 59. Each punch is provided with an ejectingpin 64, arranged to slide therein and operate to eject the piece of leather punched from the upper. The bearings 60 are supported by the yoke-shaped frame or support 65, which will be hereinafter called the feed-frame, which is supported upon a shaft 66, mounted in bearings 67, carried by the arms 68 of a lifting frame 69, which is fulcrumed on a shaft 70, mounted in bearings in the frame 1, and is provided with an arm 71, carrying a cam-roll 72, which engages the cam-groove in the cam 17, whereby the lifting-frame 69 is operated to raise and lower the feed-frame for a purpose to be described. The feed-frame also supports in bearings 73 below the bearings 60 the sliding tubular sleeves 74, into the inner end of which are threaded the setting-dies 75, which may be of any usual or preferred form and provided with the sliding pins 76 for picking off and sustaining the eyelets. The tubular sleeves are maintained in the position shown in the drawings with the setting-dies retracted and the pins 76 projecting therefrom by means of coiled springs 77, which hear at one end against a pin 78, fastened in the bearing 73 and passing through slots 78 formed in the sleeve 74 and also in a stopsleeve 7 9, fitted in the sleeve 74. The outer ends of the sleeves 74 are open, as at 80, and in the openings are fitted hardened blocks 81, which are backed up by strong springs 82, the inner ends of which bear against the end of the stop-sleeve 79. The above arrangement is such that the two springs contained in the sleeves 74 act independently of each other, the springs 77 acting to return the sleeves to their retracted position and the strong springs 82 permitting a cushioning or yielding actuation of the dies during the upsetting and the clenching of the eyelets.
Cooperating with the punches 58 and the setting-dies is a die-plate 83, which is fastened to the feed-frame 65 by means of the headed bolt 84 and which has its lower end disposed between the two sets of punches and setting-dies and substantially in alinement with the guiding-plate 40, it being understood that the lower end of plate 83 enters between the two sides or flaps of the shoe. The punches act against the smooth surface of the dieplate 83 in punching the holes for the eyelets, and immediately below the point where the punches operate said plate 83 is provided on opposite sides with nipples or dies 85, which cooperate with the setting-dies 75 in upsetting and clenching the eyelets.
The punches and setting-dies are advanced toward the die-plate 83 by means of bell-crank levers, hereinafter called punch and die levers 86, which are fulcrumed upon the same shafts 49 which support the work-clamp levers 48. The arms 87 of the punch and die levers 86 are arranged to engage the sleeves 59 of the punchesand also to engage the blocks 81 in the ends of the sleeves 74 of the setting-dies, as will be described, and the arms 88 of said levers are pivotally connected, as by the pin-and-slot connection 89, so that motion imparted to one will be transmitted to the other and cause a simultaneous operation thereof. One of said punch and die 1evers is provided with a camroll 90, which engages the peripheral cam 0, whereby said levers are rocked to operate the punches and eyeleting-dies.
It will be noted that when the feed-frame IIO , the oscillations of the punch-levers.
is in the position shown in Figs. 2 and 4 the ends of the punch-sleeves 59 are in position to be engaged and advanced toward the plate 83 by the punch-levers, and after the punches have been actuated, the feed-frame is raised to place the sleeves of the eyeleting-dies in position to be engaged by the punch-levers, which will again be actuated to advance the setting-dies toward the die-plate 83 to cause said dies to clench. and set the eyelets. In this connection it should be stated that the cam c is so formed as to impart two oscillations to the punch-levers during a single cycle of motion of the machine, first to advance the punches and then to advance the setting dies, and that the cam 19 is so shaped and turned with relation to the cam c as to raise and lower the feed-frame alternately with The work is fed along by the setting-dies, and for this purpose while said dies are still in engagement with the eyelets which have been clenched or set the feed-frame is moved laterally with relation to the guide-plate or in the direction shown by the arrow in Fig. 6. This movement of the feed-frame is accomplished by means of a link 91, one end of which is pivotally connected at 92 to the feed-frame 65 and the opposite end of which is pivotally connected at 93 to a link 94, which in turn is pivotally connected to an arm 95, extending from a sleeve 96, said sleeve being mounted in bearings 98 in arms 99, projecting from the fixed frame 1. The sleeve 96 also has another arm 100, which engages a cam-path formed in the feed-cam d. (See Fig. 15.) The above arrangement is such that the rocking movement imparted to sleeve 96 by means of the cam 61 will by means of the links 94 and 91 be transmitted to the feedframe 65, thus feeding the work along, as hereinbefore described.
In order to adjust the feeding movement of the swinging feed-frame 65 to produce an adjustment in the spacing of the eyelets, the following feed-adjusting mechanism is provided:
To the links 91 and 94 at the pivotal point 93 there is pivoted a link 102, which at its lower end is pivoted at 103 to a feed-adjusting lever 104, carried by a rock-shaft 105, mounted in a bearing 106 of the fixed frame 1, and at its opposite end provided with an arm 107, to which is connected bya rod (not shown) a foot-treadle,(not shown,) whereby the feedadjusting lever may be rocked by the means described to change the position of the center of motion of the pivotal connection of the links 91 and 94, and thus regulate the throw of the feed-frame 65. The swinging movement of the feed-adjusting lever 104 is limited by stops 108, which are arranged to be fitted into the openings in the quadrant-plate 109, which is mounted to have a slight swinging movement, for a purpose which will hereinafter appear, upon the end of the shaft 105 in rear of the feed-adjusting lever 104. It will be observed that while the amplitude of oscillation of the arm 95 is constant the amplitude of oscillation of the feed-frame 65 is variable and that the variations in amplitude of oscillation of the feed-frame are caused by changing the position of the pivot 103, whereby the horizontal component of the motion of pivot 93 is varied.
The eyelets are contained in a hopper 110, from which lead two eyelet-chutes 111, which are downwardly and forwardly extended and given a quarter-turn, so as to properly present the eyelets to the setting-dies, the lower ends of the chutes being notched, as shown at 112, whereby when they are advanced into the line of movement of the settingdies the pins 76 will enter and remove an eyelet from each chute. The chutes 111 are preferably formed integrally with the bottom of the hopper 110, as shown, and said hopper is fulcrumed upon a shaft 113, fitted in bearing 114 of the frame 1, whereby the hopper and chutes may be rocked to advance the chutes from the position shown in Fig. 1 1
to a position which will place their lower ends in line with the setting-dies. Said hopper is rocked in one direction, so as to advance the chutes to the point of operation of the settingdies, by means of a spring 115, one end of which is connected to an arm or lever 116, fixed to the shaft 113, and the opposite end of which is secured to the frame 1, said lever being provided with a cam-roll 117, which engages the cam e on the shaft 4, by means of which the hopper is rocked to retract the chutes. A rotating brush 118 is located within the hopper and is mounted on a shaft 119, which passes through a bearing 120 and carries at its outer end a pulley 121, driven by a belt 122, which passes over idle pulleys 123 'and is driven by a pulley 124 on the drivingshaft 4. When the machine is used for punching holes for lacing-hooks, the chutes 111 are prevented from moving, as described, and are held in their retracted position against the tension of the spring 115. This is accomplished by a spring-pressed pawl 118 carried by an arm 119 projected from the quadrant-plate 109 and arranged to engage the lower end of the lever 116, said quadrant plate being rocked backward by means of the feed-adjusting plate 104 and the foot-treadle, as described,said feed-ad j usting plate engaging the stop 108 at the left, as shown in Fig. 13, and moving back the quadrant-plate to place the pawl in position to engage the end of the lever 116. The quadrant-plate is normally held from swinging to the left during the setting of eyelets by means of stud 120 fitted to turn in a bearing in the standard 2 and passing through a circular opening 121 formed in the arm 119 The stud is cut away, as
shown, the arrangement being such that when the stud is in the position shown in Fig. 3 the quadrant-plate may have a slight movement to the left, so that the hook 118 may engage the lever 116 and prevent the hopper from IIO swinging; but when said stud is given a halfturn (to the position shown in Fig. 14) the said plate will be held from movement to the left.
The above-described arrangement is such that the distance between successive eyelets may be regulated within prescribed limits by the operator during the operation of the machine. In use the stop-pins 108 are set, so that they determine the minimum and maximum distances, respectively, of the eyelets apart, the work being positioned in the machine and the stud 120 being in the position shown in Fig. 14, whereby the quadrant-plate is held from motion to the left by said stud and from motion to the right by the stud 122 mounted in the fixed frame of the machine. The machine is then set in motion and eyelets are set, the distances apart being regulated by the operator through the treadle and rock-shaft 105, and when the requisite number has been set the operator rot-ates the stud 120 to the position shown in Fig. 13 and depresses the troadle, which oscillates the rock-shaft 105, so as to move the feed-adjusting lever 10 to the left, as shown in Fig. 3, so that it engages the left-hand stop-pin 108 and oscillates the quadrant-plate 109, so that the hook 11S is broughtv into position to engage the lever 116, (shown in dotted lines in Fig. 13,) which thus holds the eyelet-chutes 111 from moving forward, and the machine is operated to punch holes to receive the lacing-hooks which are inserted in another machine. It is thus seen that under theseconditions the movement for lengthening the distance between the holes simultaneously stops the supply of eyelets and causes the machine to operate simply as a punching-niachine.
The operation of the machine of the drawings is as follows: The work is positioned in the machine as shown in dotted lines, Fig. 6, with both edges of the upper parallel to each other and bearing against the ed ge-gage upon opposite sides of the guide plate 40, the punch-plate 83, with the work-clamps 51, under the force exerted by the spring 55, clamping both edges of the upper, as described. The detent 37 is now turned by the foottreadle to permit the clutch to operate, imparting motion to the cam-shaft. The rotation of the cam-shaft causes the punch-levers to advance the punches toward the punchplate to punch holes in both edges of the upper. The punch-levers are then retracted and the feed-frame lifted by the lifting-frame to bring the setting-dies into the position formerly occupied by the punches and in line with the holes formed by the punches, and so that the ends of the setting die carriers may be engaged by the punch-levers. The punch- 'levers are then again operated to advance the setting-dies toward the complementary dies on the punch-plate, during which movement the hopper and chutes are rocked and retracted, permitting the pins of the settingdies to remove an eyelet from each chute, which eyelets are carried toward the work and set or clenched in the holes formed by the punches. While the work is still held between the setting-dies and the punchingplate, the clamping devices are actuated to release the work and the feed-frame is rocked laterally to move the work forward, after which the clamping devices again clamp the Work and the feed-frame is returned and lowered for another operation of the machine. In this connection it is to be noted that the punch-levers are provided with laterally-projected offset ends 871, which hold the setting dies against the work to hold and support the work during the feed movement of the feed-frame while the clamping-levers are released.
While I have shown in the drawings and described in this specification the preferred form of my invention, it is by no means specitically limited thereto, but is susceptible of embodiment in various forms without departure therefrom. Furthermore, it is to be understood that certain features of my invention are not limited to a duplex eyeletingmachine, but may be used in other forms of machines.
