Jan matzeliger invention name in sanskrit text

He eventually settled in Lynn, Massachusetts where he got an apprenticeship in a shoe-making factory. He quickly understood the challenges facing the manufacturing of shoes. The leather part of the shoe the upper part was sewn together, to some extent, by steam-powered sewing machines and the soles bottom part of the shoes were made separately.

The final part of the process required the upper part made of leather to be stretched over the mold and stitched, by hand, into the sole to complete the shoe. This was difficult work and took a long time to complete. My invention includes the mechanism for holding the last or mold in place and allowing it to be turned and the last fed forward in proper position for the operation of the machine.

It includes a feeding device for moving the last step by step at a proper distance, whereby the mechanism for drawing over the leather may operate successively and at proper intervals. It includes pinchers or gripping mechanism for drawing the upper over the last, mechanism for turning the gripping mechanism in order to plait the leather at the heel or toe, mechanism for holding the last in proper position for the operation of the feeding mechanism, mechanism for feeding the nails and holding them in proper position to be driven, and mechanism for driving the nails at the proper instant.

The invention was so detailed and intricate that the patent office sent a representative to Lynn, Massachusetts to see the machine in action and on March 20, Jan Matzeliger was granted a patent for the lasting machine. It did indeed make an impact on the shoe manufacturing industry…where at one time an experienced worker could turn out 50 shoes a day, now with his machine and improvements made to it , a single machine could make up to shoes per day.

This technology made many more shoes available and affordable, to the average worker, through the laws of supply and demand and it was a windfall to the shoe making industry. Curry, Sheree R.
