Accordingly, from this' aspect, kanother feature of the invention consists in a novel organization of lasting machine 'ot' thebed which provision is made for power operation of the lasting wipers.

A substantially Ll-shaped heel ei'nbracing band V276 `which may beot leather or other suitable material, is positioned in front of the lasting head 168 with its upper edge 80 slightly belowV the plane of the heel Wipers and is supported at its ends by links 278 pivoted at their inner ends to eais attached to the ends ot' the band and adj ustably pivoted adjaceiit'to their outer ends to the for- 85 Ward ends of band opening and closing levers 280 which are pivoted intei'iiiediate of their ends tothe bottoni of the head 168. rllhe linlrs 278 preiiierably are providedjwith `a plurality of pivot holes co-operatiiig With 9") removable pivot pins and the pivot VAholes in thel eo-operating ends oi levers 280 to ad i just the band to accommodatediliierent sizes orl grades ot heel ends, such as those of mens, ivoinens and cliildrens shoes.

To this end7 the periphery of cam disk 155 is formed with" opposed raised portions 338 whichV act against roll 154 and rod 146 in timed relation to the flanging operations to effect yieldingly upward pressure of the last and shoe carrier 98. c

, During 4the described Alongitudinal outflanging and subsequent sole laying movement ofthe presser lplate 322, it is desirable to cause said plate to exertdownward compacting pressure against the upper and sole,

l respectively.` To this end, the coverplate of the heel lasting head 163 is provided with an upstanding bracket 34() having a flanged 'upper end from which an` abutment screw depends,Tapressure applying plate 342 being `journaleu in the side of the bracket below its upper end with which said screw contacts when said plate is engaged and swung upwardly against said screw by a roll 344 offset from arm 326, the position of the lower end of the screw determining the pressure angleof said plate and the degree of downward pressure applied by the plate against the roll 344 and arm 326 as tlie'la'tter slides backwardly. i

To locate the heel seat face of the last bottom in the plane for cgi-,operation with the described lasting means, a horizontal arm 346 (if 4;ind5) is pivoted to theback edge of the heel lasting head andcarriesca depending adjustable stop 343, the arm being swung over to4 position said stop above i the heel end ofthe last before the shoe is jacked up and back into the -heel band. llVlien the treadles .1l/l, 122 are operated to jack the shoe. baclnvardlyand upwardly, the

`hei glitt. `The Y bottom of thelast will engage the stop 348 andA position the last bottom at the proper arm 346,is `then swung to oneV side out of theway as seen in Fig. A similar positioning stop 350'may be used on the toe lasting head in positioning-the forepart of the shoe and to guide in the adjustment ofthe toe rest as jiireviously described.

W`ith the above (lescribed constructions of lasting mechanisms, the operation of the in achine is brieliy as follows:

[fn/ward #mig/up- The last and shoe are mounted onitheA cairrier 93,100, the heel presser plate being turned back over the top edge of varm 326 out of the Away, and the heel height gage 34S is swung into position. The treadles 114, 122 are operated to jack the shoeback and up into the Vheel band, the heel height'gage being then swung vto one side'.` Any necessary adjustnients'of the heel wipers and heel band are made, the toe lasting head is adjusted as necessary yto the length, and swing ot last,-

and the toe wipers are given any of the described tilting I adjustments necessary to place them in the longitudinalfand transverse planes of the fo'repartof the last bottom. Previous to this, the `toe rest is 'adjusted, if necessary,cto support the toe atthe proper'elevation and the toeV presser 262 is positionedover and vwithin the margin of the last bottom at the toe. Assuming that the machine is to be operated by power and that the toe aiidheel wipers are operatively` connected to their operating cams the operator depresses treadle 206 ,andv` immediately releases it. I This throws in the one cycle clutch mechanism turning the cam shafts 164 and 186 through half a revolution and coming to a stop. At the beginningof, thisv `half :revolutionv thel heel band `is closed through cam groove l296 and held closed and the toe presser 262 functions as aholddown, cam 224 acting through lever 270 togpress the last down'into the toe of the upper and to clamp the upper and last fon the toe rest. The heel and toe wipers then advance and close in overv the margin of theyl'ast bottom, wiping the margin of the upper inwardly and formingan inturned flange and thereafter partially back oif or retract .andstop As the heelwipers advance .over the edge of the heel seat,v a high point 338l onthe periphery of cam fdisk 155 lifts the standard 98 and causes Ythe-last and shoe to press the upper against the heel wipers, the pressure beingl released beforel the wipers retract. The toe and heel wipers stop automatically inpartially retracted position vatthe end of a half revolution of their cam shafts-to enable the inwardly flanged upper atthe heel to be tacked to the sole or uinsole' and to enable the ,inturned upper at .the toe end to be ico Y iio tacked, or wired',ldepending. upon the species ofshoe-#iQ e., McKay or turn or welt.y After theV ,inwardly flanged upper has tacked or wired` as the case requires, the treadl'e 206 Vis again actuated andthe toe and heel wipers again advance and then fully retract, theshoe being again pressed upwardly against the heel wipers. Asthe wipers retract, the heel band is opened. and the high point 162 on the periphery of cani disk 161 engages arm 1604 turning rock shaft 132 and unlocking treadles 114, 122, A,unjacking the shoe; n 1 .i U lf Vit is desired'to operate ,thesejm'echanismsmanually, orto repeat the cycle inanbeenV lil ually, the cain'shats 164, l'are turnedby hand wheelQOS 'to etfeet'the desired `operations. ln both the powerand manually etfooted rotations ofthe Cain shaft 164 of the heel' mechanism, the `operating` con# nections; t p'late i, ve operated, hut since the presser plate is Ydisplaced from operative position it vdoesnotf interfere with the operation ot the i For stitchdown worlethe toe wipers are disconnected i'rorn the power driven shaft b v removing-the connectinga element 235, as
