Definitions
- the present invention is concerned with lasting shoes using adhesive, more especially with a method of lasting shoes, using adhesive, from the toe to at least over the ball region thereof, wherein the toe and forepart region of the shoe is inwiped by means of a pair of wiper plates mounted for inwiping movement about a common pivot located at or adjacent the toe end of the shoe, and wherein the adhesive is applied partly by means of an imprinter plate which is pressed against the shoe bottom and partly by nozzles movable along opposite sides of the shoe.
- the present invention is regarded as especially desirable, but not exclusively so, in the case of an apparatus of the type described in U.S. Patent No. 3579691, which apparatus comprising a wiper assembly which lays the lasting margin over the insole which has been pressed against the last before the lasting by an adhesive injector plate, and a control by which the movement of the wiper assembly is arrested in an intermediate position in which the wiper assembly has just traversed the margin of the insole, the control also comprising a signalling device which supplies a "fall away” signal which effects the falling away of the injector plate from the insole when the wiper assembly is arrested.
- German Patent Specification No. 1685424 It is known from German Patent Specification No. 1685424 to provide in addition to an adhesive imjector plate adhesive injector nozzles which are moved in the direction from the heel end towards the toe, so that adhesive bands adjacent to one another are applied. In this case, however, the injector plate extends from the toe into the height of the ball region, while the injector nozzles cover the region from the heel end up to the injector plate.
- no measures are provided whereby a wiper assembly associated with a lasting region is arrested in an intermediate position, where the lasting region of the assembly corresponds substantially with the area of application of the injector plate. Consequently the patent specification contains no reference to the supply of a particular "fall away" signal in order to ensure that the injector plate has fallen away from the insole before the wiper assembly is closed.
- the adhesive applied by the injector plate extends substantially over the region wiped by the wiper assembly, which region normally extends up to the ball region, then some compromise must be accepted with the injector plate insofar as it has to apply the adhesive for narrow and broad shoes depending upon the shoe size. With wide shoes the adhesive coating necessarily lies further inwardly on the insole than in the case of narrow shoes.
- the region to which adhesive is applied by means of the imprinter plate extends from the toe end of the shoe and lies within, but is substantially smaller than, the region inwiped by said pair of wiper plates.
- the region to which adhesive is applied by the imprinter plate extends approximately 50mms (2") measured from the toe of the shoe, along the longitudinal centre line of the toe region of the shoe.
- the imprinter plate is so dimensioned, it is considered to be suitable for use with at least the great majority of individual styles within a generic style, thus rendering it necessary to provide only one such plate for each generic style.
- an imprinter plate of such size has been found to be nevertheless adequate.
- the nozzles apply adhesive starting adjacent the imprinter plate and being moved progressively heelwards therefrom. Furthermore, the method in accordance with the invention has been found especially advantageous where the nozzles apply adhesive along the side portions of 5 the shoe up to the heel breast region thereof.
- the path of movement of the nozzles in carrying out the method in accordance with the invention has to be controlled 3 according to the individual style of shoe to be lasted.
- the nozzles are guided along the shoe bottom by control means according to a pre-programmed set of parameters appropriate to the style of shoe lasted.
- the 5 control means comprises a computer which, in accordance with a preselected set of digitized co-ordinate axis values stored in memory means associated with said computer, supplies control signals to n.c. motors (as herein defined) by which the nozzles are moved along the side portion of the shoe.
- n.c. motor where used herein is to be understood as a motor the operation of which is controlled by control pulses supplied thereto in accordance with digitized information appropriate to the desired operation of the motor.
- the digitized information is usually in the form of digitized co-ordinate axis values. Examples of such motors are stepping motors and d.c. servomotors.
- the "fall away" signal is supplied to a latching member which is controlled by a sensor, which in the region of advance is associated with adhesive injector nozzles movable from adjacent the injector plate away therefrom, in such a manner that as the injector nozzles move, the sensor unlatches the latching member after the nozzles have moved over the region which is wiped by the wiper assembly and when they reach a position in which the wiper assembly can continue its movement, the latching element initiating the closing of the wiper assembly.
- the said further object is resolved, also in accordance with the invention, in an apparatus as set out in the fourth paragraph above, in that the "fall away" signal is supplied to a timer member which with regard to adhesive injector nozzles movable from adjacent the injector plate away therefrom initiates the closing of the wiper assembly after the nozzles have moved over an area wiped by the wiper assembly and at the earliest when they have reached a position in which the movement of the wiper assembly can be continued.
- the region wiped by the wiper assembly is provided for in respect of the adhesive coating on the one hand by the injector plate (in the toe region of the shoe) and on the other by the adhesive injector nozzles (in the adjacent region in the direction of the ball region), whereby only that region of the shoe forepart which extends from the toe up to the ball region is left to the injector plate, in which with different shoe sizes the particular width of the shoe is not substantially altered.
- the adhesive coating is achieved by means of the adhesive injector nozzles, which with regard to their guidance can be accommodated in known manner as desired to the particular desired shoe contour, for example by sensing the lasting margin or the insole edge or by template or programmed control. Accordingly, by means of the latching member or the timer member, as the case may be, it is ensured that in this case too the injector nozzles are moved away from the injector plate sufficiently far that the wiper assembly can continue its movement unhindered.
- An additional degree of security with respect to the prevention of the collision of the wiper assembly against the injector plate is provided in that the initiation of the continuation of the movement of the wiper assembly as compared with the initiation of the falling away of the injector plate is delayed by a delaying member. In this way it is ensured that the continuation of movement of the wiper assembly is initiated only by the time span defined by the delaying member after the initiation of the falling away of the injector plate. This is especially of significance if, in the apparatus in question, the wiper assembly in its intermediate position is already close to the injector plate.
- An injector plate length which takes into account both pressing the insole sufficiently against the last and also the difference in shoe width depending upon different shoe sizes is obtained when the start of the path of the injector nozzles, being adjacent the end of the injector plate facing the ball region, is disposed substantially at the middle of the forepart of the shoe, extending from the toe of the shoe to the ball region.
- the injector plate extends also up to the middle of the shoe forepart portion, so that it can perform its pressure function in respect of half the length of the shoe forepart, which has generally shown itself to be sufficient.
- control for the injector nozzles need merely to be so constructed that, before bringing the injector plate against the insole, the nozzles have traversed a short region which is then, after the continuation of the movement of the injector nozzles away from the toe, also embraced by the injector plate, which is brought into contact with the insole only after the continuation of movement of the injector nozzles.
- the apparatus furthermore, reveals the advantage of the use of different adhesives for the region catered for by the injector plate and the region traversed by the injector nozzles.
- This is of important because especially the ball region is subjected to substantially stronger flexing movements when the shoe in question is being worn than is the case for the toe region.
- the injector plate and the injector nozzles are connected to separate adhesive supplies each with different adhesive, an adhesive which remains elastic being supplied to the injector nozzles, while the injector plate has an adhesive which hardens off more strongly.
- the latter adhesive normally has the property that it hardens off more quickly, which is of special significance for rapid and reliable bonding in the toe region.
- the method in accordance with the invention now to be described is a method of lasting shoes, more especially of lasting toe, forepart and side regions of shoes.
- Conventionally the toe and forepart regions of i shoes are today lasted by so-called pulling over and toe lasting machines, while the side portions are thereafter lasted by so-called side lasting machines.
- the imprinter plate I extends from the toe of the shoe heelwardly approximately 50 mm (2"), as measured along the longitudinal centre line of the toe region of the shoe; that is to say, the plate I, and thus the region of the insole covered thereby, is substantially smaller than the region to be inwiped subsequently by the wiper plates W.
- the nozzles N are caused to move heelwardly, from a position adjacent the imprinter plate I, along opposite sides of the shoe bottom, in a manner substantially as described in the aforementioned European Patent Application; that is to say, the nozzles N are guided e.g. by computer control means supplying drive signals to suitable n.c. motors (as herein defined), in accordance with a set of digitized co-ordinate axis values stored in suitable memory means associated with the computer, such set being selected according to the style of shoe being operated upon and modified according to the size of such shoe. (This size may conveniently be measured by the movement of the heel rest against the shoe, as described in the aforementioned European Patent Application).
- the side lasting of the shoe can take place, in carrying out the method in accordance with the invention, using any suitable conventional means.
- any suitable conventional means for example, as in the machine described in European Patent Application, lasting rolls may be used.
- conventional lasting fingers or lasting bands may be used, in which case, side lasting can take place only after the nozzles N have completed their movement.
- a lasted shoe 9 which is held in its position (see also Fig.4) by means only partially shown in Fig. 2.
- a shoe support 10 which is so small that it remains in position even when the wiper assembly is moved together.
- the injector plate 11 which substantially surrounds the shoe support 10.
- the injector plate 11 has channels 16 which serve for the supply of adhesive.
- the wiper assembly 7 In front of the shoe is disposed the wiper assembly 7 which is journalled in the mounting 5. The wiper assembly 7 is actuated by means of the ram head 17, which applies pressure to the mounting 5.
- the ram head 17 is positioned at the end of the ram 18, which serves as the advancing arrangement for the wiper assembly and which is journalled in the piston 4.
- the piston 4 is moved to-and-fro in the cylinder 19 by means of hydraulic or pneumatic forces.
- the ram 18 extends through the piston 4 towards the other side and terminates in the abutment 1.
- the wedge 2 is supported on the actuator mechanism 3 which enables the wedge 2 to be withdrawn.
- the injector plate 11 is mounted on actuating means comprising the ram 20 and the piston 21, the latter being moved hydraulically or pneumatically to-and-fro in the cylinder 22.
- the adhesive injector nozzle 34 is guided over the insole 8 adjacent the lasting margin, and indeed starting from the injector plate 11 away therefrom, the injector nozzle 34 passing over substantially the ball region of the lasted shoe 9.
- the latter by means of its cam 35, engages the plunger of the valve 36, as shown in Fig. 2, so that in the position shown the valve 36 is switched through the injector nozzle 34 and thus the pressure fluid at the source 37 is switched via the line 38 to the latching valve 33.
- the continuation of the movement of the injector nozzle 34 is then maintained, as well as the supply of adhesive; details in this connection are not material.
- the auxiliary valve 41 has not only the object of switching pressure from the line 43 to the line 44 and vice versa, but also exercises the function of a delaying member, since the effect of the pressure fluid switched from the latching valve 33 is delayed in respect of its acting upon the actuator mechanism 3.
- the pressure fluid supplied via the line 39 in fact acts directly on the cylinder 22 and effects thereby the immediate falling away of the injector plate 11, in comparison with which the further movement of the wiper assembly 7, made possible by the actuator mechanism 3 in withdrawing the wedge 2 is initiated only after the valve 41 has been switched.
- the switching time of the auxiliary valve 41 is, as a time differential, the switching time of the auxiliary valve 41. This leads to an enhancement of the certainty against a collision of the wiper assembly 7 against the injector plate 11 or injector nozzles 34.
- Fig. 3 it is a matter of a modification vis-a-vis the exemplary embodiment of Fig.2.
- the modification consists in that the actuation of the latching valve 33, which serves as a latching member, takes place by means of the timer member 45, so that the cam 35, shown in Fig.2 and constituting the sensor, together with the valve 36 can be omitted.
- the device of Fig.3 operates in the same way as that of Fig. 2, so that in this regard reference can be had to the explanations to Fig.2.
- the pressure fluid switched through by valve 30 is supplied via the line 32 and the timer member 45 to the latching valve 33, so that the latching valve 33, after the expiry of the time span defined by the timer member 45, is switched and thereafter initiates the steps explained with reference to Figure 2, namely first i the falling away of the injector plate 11 and, delayed by the auxiliary valve 41, the withdrawal of the wedge 2 and thereby the continuation of the movement of the wiper assembly 7.
- the timer member 45 is so adjusted that the switching of the latching valve 33 only takes place when the adhesive injector nozzle 34 has with certainty moved sufficiently far that it can no longer hinder the closing of the wiper assembly. In order to be able in such case to take account of the different advance times of the injector nozzles 34, it is a question with this timer member 45 of an adjustable component, as is customary in the trade.
- FIG 3 is drawn in the line 75 (shown in dotted line) branching from the line 32, and, when it is used, replacing the line 39.
- the line 75 thus leads directly from the pipe 32 to the input ports 74 of the cylinder 22 so that therefore in this case the timer member 45 and the latching valve 33 is (sic) bypassed.
- a direct initiation of the falling away of the injector plate 11 takes place in the case of the provision of the "fall away" signal by the valve 30, so that therefore the falling away of the injector plate 11 is initiated already when the wiper assembly reaches its stop position.
- the position of the injector nozzles 34 enabling the wiper' assembly 7, to be closed can be achieved in different ways. Firstly it is possible to move the injector nozzles 34 away from the injector plate 11 sufficiently far in the direction of the heel seat that the adhesive nozzles 34 are displaced in this direction sufficiently from the wiper ends 47a and 47b. The adhesive nozzles 34 assume then the position shown in chain-dot line. It is however also possible to raise the adhesive nozzles 34 at the end of their advancing movement over the insole 8 away from the latter sufficiently far that the wiper assembly 7, can move past the adhesive nozzles 34.
- Fig. 4 are shown the mechanical details of the apparatus essential in this connection, those elements of the machine however being omitted for the sake of clarity which are immaterial in this connection and which belong in any event to the state of the art since they are conventional components of an apparatus for lasting footwear.
- Fig. 4 is also shown a portion of the machine frame 52 on which both the last support 50 and also further elements are secured namely the support 53 for the pincers 54 for pulling the upper over the last 9 (the further pincers are not drawn in for reasons of clarity) and the holder 55 for a stack of templates 56 which are sensed in known manner by the roll 57, whereby the necessary movement is given to the injector nozzle 54 (and the further injector nozzle (not shown)).
- the injector nozzle 34 is mounted on the end of the carrier arm 58 which is connected via the piston rod 59 with the piston 60.
- the piston 60 is moved to-and-fro in the cylinder 61 by means of pneumatic or hydraulic means, whereby a corresponding movement of the injector nozzle 34 ensues.
- the carrier arm 58 together with the piston rod 59, the piston 60 and the cylinder 61, rests in the swinging arm 62 which is mounted for rotation on the axis 63.
- the lever 64 is connected with the swinging arm 62 and is also connected at its end with the piston rod 65 by to-and-fro movement of which the lever 64 is corresponding swung, since it is also journalled for pivoting movement on the axis 63.
- the swinging arm 62 is, furthermore, rotatably mounted on the axis 66 in such a manner that the swinging arm 62 can be pivoted out of and into the plane of the drawing.
- any desired advancing movement can be given to the nozzle 34, so that it is possible to accommodate to the shape of the bottom of the last 9 and to move away as necessary out of the closing area of the wiper assembly 7.
- Fig. 4 is schematically shown the supply of adhesive to the injector nozzle 34 and to the injector plate 11.
- the adhesive in the form of rods 67 and 68, is unwound from the rolls 69, the feed mechanism 70 serving this purpose.
- the rods 67 and 68 (shown interrupted for reasons of clarity) then arrive at the inlet 71 for the injector nozzle 34 and the inlet 72 for the injector plate 11, whereupon they are heated in known manner so that flowable adhesive exits at the injector nozzle 34 and the injector plate 11.
- the adhesive rod 68 is present in duplicate since, as shown in Fig. 3, two adhesive nozzles 34 are provided.
- the adhesive rods 67 and 68 as already mentioned above it can be a question of rods of different adhesive in order to fulfil special flexibility conditions in the lasted shoe.
