Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing shoes and in particular to a method for applying a glue to an insole.
  • the upper is glued to the insole.
  • the upper is applied and stretched over a form at the bottom of which an insole has previously been applied. Then, after spreading glue on the contour of the insole, the edge portions of the upper are folded back and pressed against the insole, so as to obtain the desired gluing.
  • the aforesaid operations are carried out automatically in shoe industry by using pulling-over machines in which the glue supplying operation is carried out using'several methods.
  • the glue should be well spread by the contour of the insole. Therefore, it is obvious that should the shape of the insole be changed, the means provided for supplying the glue should be able to spread the glue where necessary, independently from the shape of the insole.
  • glue supplying should be limited only to the portions of the insole which have to be glued to the upper, i.e. on the contour of the insole. Indeed, the presence of glue outside said portions can be disadvantageous for the following treatments the upper shall undergo.
  • a machine which can carry out the aforesaid operation is known for instance from patent EP-A-1036516.
  • glue supplying takes place on the front portion of the insole by means of a supplying plate equipped with a plurality of glue suppliers and on the back portion of the insole by means of two movable glue suppliers which can follow the contour of the remaining insole portion.
  • the plate can be adapted to the outline of the front portion of the insole, while the two glue suppliers follow the outline of the insole starting from the plate.
  • the supply plate should be replaced by a plate having a more tapered shape, so losing the advantages deriving from the use of a variable shape plate.
  • the problem underlying the present invention is to provide a method for applying a glue to an insole for shoes with has characteristics such as to satisfy the aforementioned requirements and to simultaneously overcome the drawbacks described with reference to the prior art.
  • the invention also relates to a manufacturing machine according to claim 9, which can operate-according to the aforesaid method.
  • the numeral 1 globally indicates a machine for pulling-over and for lasting an upper 21 on a shoe form 2.
  • An insole 23 is associated to the underside 15 of the form 2.
  • the insole 23 for shoes extends between a back end 31 and a front end 30.
  • the machine 1 comprises a supporting frame 3 on which positioning means 5 are fixed, intended to support the form 2 in the region of the toe 6 thereof.
  • said positioning means 5 comprise a support element 4 having a relatively small triangular plane surface against which said form 2 is intended to be rested.
  • Said support element 4 is inclined so that the line Z perpendicular to its triangular plane surface substantially coincides with the eye-line of an operator observing said surface 5 and standing in front of the machine 1 (at the point indicated with O in Figure 1).
  • the machine 1 comprises an upper pushing device 7, two side pushing devices, both indicated with 8, and a rear pushing device 9. These pushing devices are intended to engage respectively with the back 10, with the sides 11 and with the heel 12 of the form 2, so as to keep the form pressed against the triangular surface of the support element 4 in an operative working position ( Figures 3-5).
  • a plurality of grippers are arranged around the support element 4, so as to face the contour of the toe 6 of the shoe form 2.
  • said grippers 13 are actuated in their opening and closing and are individually displaced when necessary so as to achieve the desired tensioning of the upper 21 on the shoe form 2 before gluing.
  • the machine 1 further comprises means, globally indicated with 14, for folding back the edges of the upper 21 towards the underside 15 of the shoe form 2, after opening the grippers 13, as well as means, globally indicated with 16, for pressing underneath the folded-back edges of the upper 21 against the insole 23 along its contour provided with glue 24.
  • means 14 for folding back the edges of the upper 21 comprise two arched plates 17 representing the outline of the contour of the toe 6 of the shoe form 2 and moving towards said form.
  • Said means 16 comprise a plurality of rod-shaped elements 18 moving (in a transversal Y-Y direction) towards the form 2 so as to engage it underneath with a predetermined elastic force.
  • the machine 1 comprises means for supplying the glue 24 on the insole 23. These means consist of two glue suppliers indicated with 22 in Figures 3-10, placed near the support element 4.
  • the glue suppliers 22 are movable in the direction of axis Z-Z indicated in Figure 1 from a rest position spaced away from the form 2 (Fig. 3) to an active position (Figs. 4 and 5) in which they are engaged underneath with the shoe form 2 (more precisely with the insole 23 applied to the underside 15 of the form 2), so as to apply the glue 24 on the contour 27 of the insole 23 through the glue suppliers 22.
  • Said means can comprise for instance hydraulic actuators, electric stepper motors or other conventional means normally used to automate the movement of two or more elements.
  • the machine 1 can be equipped with control means for controlling the operation of said actuating means, i.e. for managing the movement of the glue suppliers 22.
  • the glue suppliers 22 are movable, i.e. they are supported by the frame 3 of the machine 1 so that they can move along the contour 27 of the insole 23.
  • said glue suppliers 22 allow to follow and therefore to supply the glue 24 on the opposite sides of the insole 23.
  • the machine 1 comprises activating means, not shown in the figures, for instance hydraulic actuators, which allow the glue suppliers 22 to be actuated so that the latter move along the contour 27 of the insole 23 starting from the back portion of the insole.
  • the machine 1 comprises control means, not shown in the figures, for controlling the operation of said actuating means.
  • said control means allow the glue suppliers 22 to be placed on the contour 27 of the insole 23. Therefore, the aforesaid control means allow to change the movement and the shifts of the glue suppliers 22 according to each type of insole 23.
  • said control means comprise a memory, as, for instance, an EEPROM, in which various movement programs of the glue suppliers 22 can be stored.
  • the glue suppliers 22 terminate in a roll allowing to spread the glue 24 supplied on the contour 27 of the insole 23.
  • Said glue suppliers 22 are associated with resistances allowing to heat the glue so as to make it fluid and simplify its spreading.
  • the movable glue suppliers 22 are in fluid communication with a glue tank (not shown in the figures).
  • the shoe form 2 on which the upper 21 is stretched is placed against the support element 4.
  • the insole 23 for shoes is then associated to the underside 15 of the form 2 by means of a mild glue having characteristics of gluing such as to ensure the temporary adhesion of the insole 23 to the underside 15 and to enable the following removal of the insole 23 from the underside 15 after the gluing step.
  • said glue 24 is supplied on a portion of the insole 23 through one or more glue suppliers 22.
  • Said glue suppliers 22 can move on said portion of the insole so as to follow a predetermined path and be pressingly engaged with the insole 23.
  • the glue suppliers 22 thus keep the insole 23 in contact with the underside 15 of the form 2.
  • This pressing contact allows to strengthen the adhesion of the insole 23 to the underside 15 preventing its removal during the step of supplying of the glue 24.
  • the choice of the adhesive to be used to associate the insole 23 to the underside 15 should be directed towards adhesives with a low adhesion power.
  • the supplying of the glue 24 on the insole 23 is advantageously carried out starting from the back portion of the insole 23 towards the front end 31 of said insole 23, as shown in the dynamic sequence of Figs. 6-10.
  • glue suppliers 22 There are preferably two glue suppliers 22, so that each of them can supply the glue along corresponding different portions 26 of the insole 23.
  • said portions 26 define the contour 27 of the insole 23 along which the glue 24 is applied.
  • the glue suppliers 22 therefore are movable along corresponding portions 26 of the lateral contour 27 of the insole 23 which define the aforesaid predetermined path.
  • Said path which can vary according to the shape of the insole 23, is stored so as to control automatically the movement of said glue suppliers.
  • the two glue suppliers 22 both disengage from the insole 23 by a disengagement point 29 placed near the front end 31 of the insole 23.
  • each of the glue suppliers will cross this point 29 at subsequent times so as to avoid interferences with the other supply element.
  • a first glue supplier disengages from the insole 23 by said point 29 placed by the front end 31, whereas the other element disengages by a second point 30 placed at a given distance from the point 29, so as not to interfere with the first element.
  • the disengagement points 29 and 30 are aligned on a longitudinal axis A-A of the insole 23 crossing the front end 31 of the insole 23.
  • the movement of the glue suppliers 22 allows to operate with different shapes and sizes of the insole 23.
  • the glue suppliers 22 can be moved so as to apply the glue to insoles for shoes with an extremely narrow and pointed toe.
  • the method for applying a glue to an insole and the machine for manufacturing shoes according to the invention allow to satisfy the requirements mentioned in the introduction to the present description and at the same time to overcome the drawbacks shown with reference to the prior art.
  • the upper can be glued to insoles of various sizes and shapes without replacing any part.
  • a further advantage of the method according to the invention consists in overcoming the technical problem of keeping the insole constantly in contact with the form underside until the end of the step of glue supplying so as to prevent its separation.
