Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly machine for shoes.
  • These machines substantially comprise, on a support and resting structure, a dome which supports, at separate vertical levels, two rubber membranes which form two chambers together with said dome; corresponding ducts for air supply and aspiration lead into said two chambers.
  • the dome is rigidly coupled to the structure with a hinge-like coupling and is rotatable about a horizontal axis which is perpendicular to the position assumed by the shoe to be processed.
  • a principal aim of the present invention is to provide an assembly machine for shoes which has a structure that allows to reduce processing times.
  • a consequent primary object is to provide an assembly machine the structure whereof allows to include it in semiautomatic or automatic lines for the processing of shoes.
  • Another important object is to provide an assembly machine in which deterioration of the membranes with use is avoided.
  • Another object is to eliminate the use of the wedge that is currently required for high-heel or sharp-edged shoes.
  • a further object is to provide an assembly machine that is commercially competitive.
  • a shoe assembly machine comprising, on a support and resting structure, a dome which supports, at separate elevations, two flexible membranes so as to form, together with said dome, two chambers into which corresponding air ducts lead, said assembly machine being characterized in that said dome is hinged to the structure about an axis which is arranged longitudinally with respect to the position of a shoe to be processed and in that a handling unit for unloading after processing is associated proximate to the part where the heel of said shoe is placed.
  • an assembly machine is generally designated by the reference numeral 10 and comprises a supporting structure 11 whereon a resting surface 12 is formed in an upward region; a dome 13 acts on said surface, as better described hereinafter.
  • the machine is completed by an upper protective housing 14 which has an electrical control panel 15.
  • Dome 13 is constituted by a box-like structure which is open in a downward region and is divided into two parts, designated by the reference numerals 16 and 17 respectively, to which the edges of two rubber membranes 18 and 19 are fixed hermetically at two different elevations, the first membrane being arranged at a lower level.
  • the dome 13 has a substantially rectangular plan shape and is adapted to adhere to the resting surface 12 with its lower edge.
  • the membranes 18 and 19 form, together with the dome 13, two chambers 20 and 21 into which corresponding air ducts 22 and 23 lead.
  • the dome 13 is rigidly coupled to the structure of the machine 10 so as to rise from the resting surface 12, since it is hinged by means of a pivot 24 arranged laterally and longitudinally thereto.
  • Rotation occurs by means of a pneumatic cylinder, of which the figures show only the stem, designated by the reference numeral 25; said cylinder is pivoted to a leyer arm 26 which is rigidly coupled to the dome 13 on the side opposite to the pivot 24.
  • the shoe being processed is supported by an upper-holding last 28, which is arranged at an opening of the resting surface 12.
  • the position of the shoe 27 is parallel to the pivot 24, which is therefore arranged laterally thereto.
  • a device 30 for locking the dome 13 is arranged on the opposite side of the pivot 24, relative to the shoe 27, and is constituted by a support 31 to which a lever 32 is articulated; the lever is associated, by means of a connecting arm 33, with a pneumatic cylinder, only the stem 34 whereof is visible in the figures.
  • the lever 32 acts on a wing 35 which protrudes from the dome 13.
  • a per se known clamp-type handling unit 36 is arranged in the region of the machine 10 that corresponds to the position of the heel of the shoe 27 and is rotatable about a horizontal axis which lies transversely to the shoe 27.
  • Handling unit 36 is adapted to unload the shoe 27 after processing, as shown more clearly in figure 3, arranging it for example on a conveyor belt 37 of a cooling unit, not shown in the figures.
  • a third membrane 38 which affects only the rear part of the shoe at the heel, is rigidly coupled, with its ends, between the lateral edges of the dome 13, as shown in particular in figures 6 and 7.
  • This third membrane 38 has a purely protective function for the other membranes, since it is the one that protects the others from deterioration in case of shoes having sharp-edged heels.
  • the operator places himself in front of the machine and places the shoe 27 on its support inside the region where the dome 13 acts (figure 4).
  • the dome 13 is then moved from a raised position to a lowered position, so that it rests on the surface 12.
  • the lever 32 that locks the dome 13 is then closed and the lowermost chamber 20 is pressurized by feeding air into the duct 22, so that the membrane 18 fully adheres to the shoe, wrapping around the sole 27a and the upper 27b.
  • the next operation is the feeding of air to the chamber 21 through the duct 23 to compress the sole 27a on the upper 27b (figure 5).
  • the dome 13 is opened and the handling unit 36 unloads the shoe 27 (figure 3).
  • a particular device which can be used to fix the membrane 18 is generally designated by the reference numeral 40 and is arranged, in this case, along the base perimeter of the dome 13 of an assembly machine at the edge of said rubber membrane 18.
  • a frame 41 for fixing the membrane 18 to said dome is in fact provided along the entire perimetric edge of the dome 13.
  • Frame 41 has a fold 42 along its inner perimetric surface, providing the hermetic seal for the membrane 18.
  • Device 40 comprises a stub 43 which has a substantially cylindrical structure and is arranged so that it lies longitudinally parallel with respect to the frame 41; stub 43 is accommodated in a seat 44 which is provided for this purpose in the edge of dome 13 to accommodate stub 43 substantially without play.
  • a screw 45 engages the stub 43 in a central position, along an axis which lies at right angles to the axis of the longitudinal extension of the stub, by means of a hole which is provided centrally on the stub 43 and is appropriately threaded complementarily.
  • Seat 44 formed on an edge portion of said dome 13, has a first cavity, which is shaped like a parallelepiped, has a longitudinal axis which is parallel to the edge of dome 13, and is adapted to accommodate stub 43, and a second cylindrical cavity, which lies along a longitudinal axis of screw 45, is adapted to accommodate the stem of screw 45, and is connected to the first cavity and arranged in a median position with respect thereto.
  • Seat 44 can be accessed by means of an opening which is formed on the outer surface and is adapted for the insertion of the stub 43 and of the screw 45 that is engaged therewith.
  • a passage channel 46 is formed in the frame 41, can be accessed from the outside, is shaped like a slotted hole, and is located at the second cavity of the seat 44 and coaxially thereto.
  • Channel 46 is thus preset to accommodate the stem of screw 45 and, by means of an expansion of the final part of said channel, the head 47 of said screw 45 as well.
  • Seat 44 is partially covered by a substantially rectangular plate 48, which is fixed to the outer face of the edge of the dome 13 by screws 49 screwed in corresponding holes 50 formed on the edge of the dome 13.
  • Plate 48 forms a rectangular slot in the central region, which is required to ensure the rotation, with corresponding protrusion of the stem from the edge, of screw 45 with respect to the stub-pivot 43.
  • Operation of the device is as follows: in order to ensure the tightness of the membrane 18 with respect to the edge of the dome 13 by means of the frame 41, the screws 45 for engaging said frame and said dome one another are tightened firmly.
  • screws 45 are instead disengaged and rotated with respect to stubs 43, which act as pivots, through the appropriate seats, which act as rotation guides.
  • the addition of the third membrane 38 has allowed to extend the life of the membranes 18 and 19 before they need to be replaced and avoids the need to resort to the wedge mentioned in the introduction.
  • the materials employed may be any according to requirements.
