Description: |
| Abstract:
My macline is designed to make shoes from rods as they are discharged from the train of the rolling- mill and without reheating. They are usually rolled square, of a size adapted to the size of the shoe, and are placed on leaving the train into a trough made of cast-iron or other suitable material. It is represented in the drawings at A2, Plates I and II, and is most conveniently made in sections of about twelve feet each. The end nearest the machine is supported by a standard E', attached to the side of the machine by two bolts. The other end may be supported by legs or other appropriate means. The successive operations of my machine upon the rod are as follows: First a portion of it of suitable length to form the shoe is drawn into the machine and cut off. It is then bent around a form into the shape of the letter U. The heels of the shoe are bent still further inward, while it next passes between two revolving swaging-dies that compress and roll it into its proper shape. Then it is creased and punched, and finally it is taken from the dies and flattened and dropped in a finished state upon a revolving chain that deposits it in the storehouse. While one shoe is being creased and punched another portion of the rod is drawn into the machine, and thus it proceeds continuously. The means of performing these operations will be described in their order.
Claim:
The above-described feeding apparatus and in connection therewith the mode set forth of cutting off the rod, also the self-acting device for stopping the feeders and the mode of renewing their action at the proper time. |
