MACHINE FOR SHAPING UPPERS OVER LASTS Filed Dec. 27, 1934 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Patented Nov. 12, 1935 UNITED STATES. PATENT OFFICE MACHINE FOR SHAPING UPPERS OVER LASTS Joseph C. Lisbon, Sn, Haverhill, Mass.,' assignor to United Shoe Machinery Corporation, Paterson. N. J., a'corporation of New Jersey Application December Z'I, 1934, Serial No. 759,408

' 28 Claims. (01. 12-2) This invention relates to machines for shaping uppers over lasts, and is herein illustrated as applied to a lasting machine having means for pulling an upper over a last successively in different locations along the edge of the shoe bottom, and

means for laying the marginal portion of the tensioned upper inwardly over the bottom of the last in time relation toeach upper-pulling operation, the machine herein shown having also means for fastening the upper by driving staples and curving their legs progressively as they are driven to anchor them in the shoe, as disclosed in United States Letters Patent .No. 1,815 .295, granted on July 21, 1931 upon an application of George Goddu. It is to be understood, however, that the invention in its more general aspects is not limited to machines of the particular type illustrated.

An object of the invention is to provide'an improved machine adapted for use in lasting shoes of that type in which a portion at least of the upper is secured by an adhesive in lasted relation to a sole or insole (hereinafter frequently referred to as the sole) Machines of the type disclosed in the above-mentioned Letters Patent include in their organization overlaying means movable inwardly over the bottom of a last in a direction inclined toward its bottom face to lay the marginal portion of the upper over a sole on the last, and mechanism for driving a staple after each overlaying operation and for curving the legs of the staple to anchor them in the sole. Such machines have also means for feeding staple wire and for forming staples, together with means which may be used at will to stop the feed of the Wire, so that no staple will be driven in the cycle of operations. It is contemplated that for purposes of this invention the feed of the wire will thus be interrupted to permit the machine to be used in lasting with an adhesive instead of with staples; and a particular object of the invention is to improve the'results obtained under such conditions. To this and other ends, the invention, in one important aspect, provides means which is arranged in each cycle of the machine to force by impact against the shoe bottom a portion of the margin of the upper laid inwardly over the sole in an earlier movement of the overlaying means. -This means, as herein shown,

I comprises a resilient member which is arranged to engage the-overlaid marginal portion of upper over substantially its entire width in a different location lengthwise of the edge of the shoe bottom from that of the overlaying means. The resilient member is normally out of contact with =5; the shoe bottom, and connected to the stapledriving means is a member for imparting to the resilient member ahammer blow to force it against the upper; The resilient member is thus operated substantially at the'endoi each overlaying operation and while the overlaying means is in pressure-applying position to pound against the shoe bottom a portion of the margin of the upper previously laid inwardly over the sole by the overlaying means. In theme of the machine for 15...

lasting shoes with cement, asthe shoe is presented to the machine by the operator in different positions in the progressive lasting of its opposite sides,'the resilient member acts to beat against the shoe bottom for substantially its entire width 20.-

' the tensioned and overlaid margin of the upper.

Not only'is the'upper thuspressed flat against the bottom face of the sole to provide a smooth bottom but, moreover, sufficient pressureis also appliedto insure firm and permanent adherence of 25 the upper to the sole. r a The above and other features of the invention, including various novel details of construction and combinations of'parts, will now be more par ticularly described by reference to the accom- 30' panying drawings and pointed out in the' claims. In the drawings, I 7 Fig. 1' is a view in side elevation 'of a portion of the head of a machine in which the invention is embodied, showing the parts in the positions that 35 they occupy when the machine is initially at rest; Fig.- 21s a view in front elevation of a portion of the head of the machine shown in Fig. 1, showing the wire-feeding means and the mechanism for stopping the feeding of the wire; 40 Fig. 3 is a-view in side elevation of a portion'of the mechanism shown in Fig. 1, with the parts in the positions that they occupy at the end of the overlaying operation;

a Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3, but showing 45. the positions of the parts at the completion of the upper-pounding operation;

Fig; 5 is a perspective view illustrating the relative positions of the gripper and the upperpounding means; and 50:

Fig. 6 is a detail view of the upper-pounding member.

Since the invention, as above stated, is illustrated as embodied in a machine of the type disclosed in the previously mentioned Letters Patent, only such features of the general organization as it is necessary to refer to for an understanding of the invention will be described herein in detail.

It will be understood that the shoe and last are supported bottom upward in the hands of the operator and presented successively in different locations in the progressive lasting of its opposite sides. To assist in determining the proper relation of the shoe to the lasting instrumentalities the machine is provided with a side gage I arranged to engage the side of the shoe at or near the edge of the insole and with a sole rest l2 for engaging the bottom face of the insole at a considerable distance from its edge. The side gage I0 is mounted on a bracket M which is adjustable along a guideway I6 formed in the head of the machine and is held in adjusted position by a cap screw l8. The sole rest I2 is supported by a bracket 20 which is is adjustable horizontally in a guideway formed in the head of the machine and is held in adjusted position by a cap screw 22. The upper is pulled over thelast and inwardly over the insole when the shoe is in each lasting position by a gripper comprising a pair of jaws 24. For laying the marginal portion of the upper inwardly over the insole and fastening it with staples there is provided a slide or carrier 26which is moved by a cam 28 along a straight guideway 30 in a forwardly and downwardly inclined direction at an angle to the bottom face of the last and shoe. This slide carries a staple guide or nozzle 32, a staple driver 34- and a deflector 36 which engages the legsof the staple and curves them prior to and during their entrance into the shoe. The operative movement of the driver is in a rearward direction and the deflector curves the legs of the staple forwardly away from the edge of the insole. It will be understood that prior to the driving ofthe staple the marginal portion of the upper is pulled inwardly over the insole by the gripper and is laid over and upon the outer face of the insole by the nozzle 32 and deflector 36 in the forward movement of the slide 26. Substantially at the end of the forward movement of the slide along its guideway 3ll-the staple nozzle and deflector receive a short downward movement more directly toward the shoe bottom which is effected by swinging the slide 26 about the axis of a rockshaft 38 (Fig. 1). For this purpose a member 40 on which the guideway 30 is formed is mounted on a holder 42 which is fast on the rockshaft 38 and fast also on the rockshaft is a lever 44 operated by a cam 46 to swing the slide 26 as described. In this manner insurance is afforded that the upper will be pressed flrmly upon the insole and that the staple nozzle and" deflector will be close to the shoe bottom when the staple is driven.'

Means substantially as disclosed in the above mentioned Letters Patent is provided for operating the staple driver 34. The driver is fastened to a driver slide 48 which is movable in a downwardly and rearwardly inclined direction in a guideway formed in a bracket 50 secured to a forward extension of the slide 26. The driver slide 48 is operated by a lever 52 which is pivoted on a stud 54 on a forward extension of the slide 26 and carries a lug 56 extending into a recess in the driver slide. The lever 52 is operated by a bell-crank lever 58 which is pivoted on a rod 60 on the slide 26 and is operated by a torsion spring 62 (Fig. 2). The forwardly extending arm of the bell-crank lever 58 carries a roll 54 which operates in a cam slot 66 in the lever 52, the cam slot being so formed that the staple-driving movement is imparted to the lever 52 by upward movement of this arm. For swinging the bellcrank lever 53 against the resistance of its operating spring to retract the driver 34 and to tension the spring there is pivoted at 68 on the head of the machine a lever 16 on which is pivotally mounted at 7-2 a latch i4 arranged to engage the lower end of a plate "it fast on a downwardly extending arm on the bell-crank lever 58. A spring 18 connected to the latch 14 and to a pin 89 on the lever it holds the latch in operative relation to the plate it when the slide 26 and the parts carried thereby are in their initial positions. When the slide is moved forwardly toward the shoe the latch 14 acts to swing the bell-crank lever 58 against the resistance of its spring in response to such forward movement, thereby operating the lever 52 to retract the staple driver 34 as the latter is being carried bodily forward by the slide 25. For operating the latch 14 to release the lever 58 and thus to cause the operation of the driver the slide 26 carries a screw 82 the head of which is arranged to engage a shoulder on the latch. The forward movement of the slide 26, however, does not carry the screw far enough to release the lever 58, such release being effected in response to a swinging movement of the latch carrying lever effected by a cam 84 after the slide 25 has completed its forward movement. It will be understood that by reason of such movement of the lever 10 the screw 82 causes the latch 74 to swing far enough to disconnect it from the plate 76. In the return of the' parts to starting positions the latch 14 is held by a shoulder 86 on the lever 70 in position to connect again with the plate 16 when the slide 26 arrives at the end of its retractive movement.

The machine is also provided with means fully disclosed in the previously mentioned Letters Patent for forming a staple in response to the forward movement of the slide 26 and for transferring the staple from forming position into alinement with the driver 34, together with means for feeding wire intermittently to the staple-forming means. The wire from which the staples are formed is mounted on a reel (not shown) and is operated upon by feed wheels 88, 90 (Fig. 2) from which it is conducted through a flexible tube 92 to the staple-forming instrumentalities. The feed wheel 88 is operated by a pawl and ratchet mechanism through a link $54 and a bell-crank lever $6 provided with a roll .98 engaged by a cam it. that no staple will be formed in the operation of the machine there is provided a lever I62 having thereon a projection i04 arranged to engage a face l '36 on the lever 96 and thus to hold this lever in such a position as to prevent it from being operated by the cam i The illustrated machine as thus far described is substantially disclosed in the above-mentioned Letters Patent. For purposes of this invention there is provided a member or presser 163 which is arranged in each cycle of operations of the machine to force by impact against the bottom face of the insole a portion of the margin of the upper previously laid inwardly over the insole in an earlier movement of the overlaying means.

In order to stop the feed of the wire, so

This presser, which is preferably resilient, is clamped to the head of the machine by the bracket I4 and extends inwardly over the bottom of the shoe at one side of the staple-guiding nozzle and deflector and the gripper (Figs. 2 and 5) in position to act on a portion of the upper previously laid inwardlyover the insole by the staple-guiding nozzle and deflector. The presser 508 is supported by the bracket i4 slightly above the plane of the shoe bottom and has formed in its rearward portion a lengthwise slot I09 (Fig. 6) through which the cap screw l8 extends, so that by'loosening the cap screw the presser may be adjusted widthwise of the shoe to engage the overlaid margin of the upper for substantially its entire width. For operating the presser N18 to pound the upper at the proper time in the cycle of the machine there is secured to the driver-operating slide '48 a member Ill]. The member HE] is provided with a rearwardly extending arcuate portion I I2 which is arranged as the member II!) is moved toward the shoe by the slide 48 to engage an upstanding lip I I4 i'ormed on the forward end of the presser. It will be seen that since the slide 48 moves toward the shoe in a downwardly and rearwardly inclined direction, the presser )8 is forced downwardly against the upper as the arcuate portion H2 of the member llfl engages the lip ML; The presser thus acts to force by impact against the shoe bottom a portion of the margin of the upper laid inwardly over the insole in an earlier move-' ment of the staple-guiding nozzle and deflector.

It will be understood that in the use of the machine for lasting shoes without staples, as by the use of cement, the operator will swing the lever I02 to the position shown in Fig. 2 to interrupt the feed of the wire to the staple-forming instrumentalitiesof the machine, thereby rendering the fastening-inserting mechanism ineffective to insert fastenings. V In operation, as the shoe is presented by the operator successively in different locations in the progressive lasting of its opposite sides, portions of the upper previously laid over and pressed upon the insole by the overlaying means will be forced into firm and permanent adherence to the insole over a comparatively wide area as the presser M8 is operated by the fastening-inserting mechanism to beat the upper against the shoe bottom. It will be further understood that the presser is thus operated in each cycle of the machine after the overlaying means has completed its inward movement to lay a portion of the margin of'the'upper over the insole and its movement in a different direction to increase its pressure on the upper and while the portion thus overlaid is held pressed against the insole. It will be evident that a machine constructed as above-described may be used to last a shoe in which the upper is fastened to the shank portion of the insole by staples and along the sides of the forepart by cement. In the use of the machine for driving staples the presser I 08 acts on the lasting margin of the'upper over a comparatively wide area to force it flat upon the bottom face of the insole.

While the invention is herein illustrated as applied to a machine having means for driving upper-fastening staples, it should be understood that it is not limited to an organization which drives fastenings of that particular character.
