No. 21072.—3rd May, 1906.—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, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in said United States of America (assignees of Arthur Ernest Jerram and Arthur Bates, both of Leicester, England, Engineers). Improvements in machines for use in the manufacture of boots and shoes.*

Claims.—(1.) In an edge-setting or like machine wherein a rotary member and an oscillatory member are used the one to operate the other through an exaxial portion on the rotary member, the employment of a sleeve that coacts with the exaxial portion is connected to the oscillatory member by a pivotal connection transverse to the axis of oscillation of that member, and serves the double purpose of supporting the rotary member and of oscillating the oscillatory member. (2.) An edge-setting or like machine comprising in combination a plurality of oscillatory members, a rotary member intermediate of them having exaxial portions, and sleeves that support the rotary member and that impart oscillatory movement to the oscillatory member, and are not only connected

pivottally to the oscillatory member by connections transverse to the axes of oscillation thereof, but also coact with the said exaxial portions. (3.) A construction of the kind claimed in preceding claiming clause No. 2, with its parts so disposed that when operated they are in balance or approximately so about a pulley on the rotary member. (4.) In the construction claimed in claiming clause No. 1 and No. 2, or No. 3, the employment of a lubricant-raising chain and a spirally grooved exaxial portion, and conduits to conduct to a higher level oil forced through the spiral groove. (5.) In an edge-setting or like machine having a vibrating tool, the employment of a yielding member arranged to exert a thrust in one direction upon the tool through parts that do not aid in effecting the vibratory movement, and held from movement in the other direction by an abutment external to the vibrating mechanism. (6.) In an edge-setting or like machine, the combination with (a) a part (for example, the shaft a) that transmits vibratory motion to a tool of (b) a yielding member (for example, the part E) that acts upon the tool at substantially its centre of vibration. (7.) The improved mechanism substantially as described or as illustrated in the drawings.
