SLOCOMB & 00,, INCORPORATED, A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE, LEATHER-STAKING MACHINE, 1,180,769. ‘Specication of Letters Patent. Patented Mat. 9, 1915, Original application fled November 6, 1911, Serial No. 658,646. Divided and this application fled June 26, 1014. Serial No, 847,398. To.all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, Frank F, Srocoss, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of 5 Pennsylvania, have invented a new and use- ful Leather-Staking Machine, of which the following is a specification. ‘My present invention consists of a novel constriiction of a leather staking machine 10 wherein the rollers which coact with the cams on the connecting rod are mounted in a novel manner in order that said rollers will at all times codperate with the opera- tive surface of the cam. 15 It further consists of a novel construction of a leather staking machine wherein novel rieans are provided for limiting the upward movement of the jaws in order to prevent injury to the operator. Te iurther consists of other novel features of construction, all as will be hereinafter fully set forth. . ‘This application ig a division of an ap- plication for Letters Patent for leather stak- 25 ing machine, Serial No, 658,646, filed by me on November 6, 1911, For the purpose of illustrating my inven- tion, I have shown in the accompanying drawings, one form thereof which is at 30 present preferred by me, since the same has een found in practice to give satisfactory and reliable results, although it is to be understood that the various instrumentali- ties of which my invention consists ean be 85 voriously arranged and organized and that my invention is not limited to the precise arrangement and organization of these in- strumentalities as herein shown and de- seribed. ‘Figure 1 represents a sectional elevation of a leather staking machine embodying my invention, a portion of the same being broken away. Fig. 2 represents a front elevation of a portion of Fig. 1. Fig. 8 rep- resents a sectional elevation of another em- bodiment of my invention. sents a side elevation of » portion of Fig. 1, the roller and its adjuncts being omitted. Fig. 5 represents a sectional elevation of 50 Fig. 4, 20 40 “5 Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures. Referring to the drawings—1 designates the housing of the machine which may be of any desired construction. 2 designates a connecting rod, a portion of the sime being broken away, it being of course understood that said connecting rod away be actuated or reciprocated by means of a crank or other device (not shown). 8 designates a pin or pivot common to said connecting rod and the plates 4, the general contour of said plates being understood by reference to Fig. 1, said plates when in position forming with their adjuncts, 65 cross head 5 which reciprocates in suitable slides, and a detailed description of the lat- ter is unnecessary since the same is old in the art. _ Pivoted at 6 to the plates 4 is an upper 70 jaw 7, and pivoted at 8 to the plates 4 is the lower jaw 9. The upper jaw T has secured thereto in the usual manner, a bracket 10 through which passes a threaded stem 11, which is secured with respect to the bracket 75 by means of suitable nuts 12 and 13. The Jower end of the threaded stem 11 is forked, as indicated at 14, in order to receive the journal 15 which 'is pivoted with respect ‘thereto by means of bolts and nuts 16, or 80 equivalent fastening devices. 17 designates a roller carried by the forked end. of the journal 15 and secured therein by means of a bearing pin 18, said roller codperating with the cam 19 on the connect- 85 ing rod 2, as will be apparent by reference to Fig. 1. 20 “designates rods which are mounted on the pivot pin 3 and extend through a cross bar 31, carried by the bracket. 10, and at their upper end they are provided with a plurality of nuts 22 having threaded engage- ment therewith and one of which serves as a lock nut. 98 is a washer between which and the 95 cross bar 21 is interposed a spring 24, it being understood by reference to Fig. 5 that two of these rods 20 and their adjuncts are employed. order to positively limit the extent of 100 60 90
