Claims.—(1.) In a lasting or like machine having
mechanism for laterally moving the grippers, the provision
of means (for example, 26), adjustable or otherwise, to arrest
the lateral movement, and means for turning the grippers
either before and after the arrest of the lateral movement,
or only after the lateral movement has ceased. (2.) The
subject-matter of preceding claiming-clause No. 1, so constructed that the said limiting means and the part (for
example, 31) with which they co-operate are movable in company by a device (for example, 50) that effects one of the

No. 20451.—14th December, 1905.—UNITED SHOE MACHINERY COMPANY, of Paterson, in the State of New Jersey,
United States of America, a corporation duly organized

both parts being so disposed that the second part engages
and locks the arm in a positive manner after the first part
has moved the arm into operative position, with or without
an adjustable stop (such, for example, as 4) to limit the closing
movement of the arm, and with or without a stop (for
example, 12) on the arm to limit its opening movement.
(2.) In a lock-stitch sewing-machine, the combination with a

No. 20452.—14th December, 1905.—UNITED SHOE MACHINERY COMPANY, of Paterson, in the State of New Jersey,
United States of America, a corporation duly organized
under the laws of said State of New Jersey, and having a place of business at 205 Lincoln Street, Boston,
in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in said United
States of America (assignees of George Francis Wolfe, of
Boston aforesaid, Inventor). Improvements in or relating to
rough-rounding and channelling machines.*

Extract from Specification.—The object of the present
invention is to reorganize and improve machines of the
above class by providing such machines with a grooving-knife and mechanism whereby the channelling-knife may
be thrown out of operation during any part of the operation
upon a shoe-sole and the grooving-knife may be thrown into
operation, and, conversely, so that the grooving-knife may be
thrown out of operation and the channelling-knife again
thrown into operation. The invention is particularly adapted
for use in operating upon shoe-soles that are stitched aloft,
and, while we are aware that it has been proposed to provide
a rough-rounding and channelling machine with a channelling-knife which can be thrown out of and into operation
during the continued operation of the machine, our invention contemplates the employment, in connection with a
device of that character, of means for throwing the grooving-knife into and out of operation, so that the stitching aloft
may lie in a shallow groove in the bottom of the sole,
with the advantages well known to those skilled in the art. A
further object of our invention is to improve rough-rounding
and channelling machines in other respects pointed out.
To the above end the present invention consists in the
devices and combinations of devices described and particularly defined in the claims.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in
place of the claims.]
