- rectilinear portions 16, 17 extend substantially parallel to the extension direction Dl of the shoes 2 introduced into machine 1.
- Each path P has a first and a second curvilinear portion 18, 19 joining rectilinear portions 16, 17 of path P.
- a pair of fastening elements 20, which will be better described in the following, for a corresponding cleaning unit 11 are associated with each chain 12, 13.
- fastening elements 20 project from supporting base 3.
- Fastening elements 20, and hence the cleaning elements 11 which may be associated therewith, are driven along respective path P by a respective chain 12, 13.
- driving means 10 comprise a motor 21 and motion transfer means 22 from motor 21 to chains 12, 13.
- Machine 1 comprises a single motor 21 for the driving of both chains 12 and 13 and of cleaning elements 11 associated therewith.
- machine 1 com- prises instead a pair of motors, each one driving a respective chain.
- motion transfer means 22 comprise a pinion 23 meshed with chains 12 and 13 and driven by motor 21.
- Motor 21 is mounted with rotation axis R substantially vertical and perpendicular to base 3.
- the cited cleaning elements 11 comprise a flexible support 24 for a corresponding cleaning portion 25 intended for the contact with a shoe 2.
- a lower end 24a of support 24 is shaped so as to engage with the corresponding fastening element 20.
- Cleaning elements 11 are interchangeable, i.e. they are associated in a releasable manner with the corresponding fastening element 20 so that they can be replaced, for example, depending on the shoe 2 to be treated, or on the particular cleaning operation which they are to perform, or when worn.
- a first cleaning element 11a comprises the cleaning portion 25 defined by bristles or natural fibres 26 suited to brush shoe 2 while second cleaning element lib comprises the cleaning portion 25 defined by a cloth 27 suitable to polish shoe 2.
- cleaning portion 25 comprises synthetic fibres such as nylon ® , polymers and the like.
- the fibres defining cleaning portion 25 have geometrical features, thickness for example, defined depending on the desired effect on shoes 2.
- fibres are arranged at specific angles so as to ensure specific geometries and designs for the predetermined use to which cleaning portion 25 is dedicated.
- Each support 24 has a maximum height comparable with the height of compartment 7.
- Machine 1 comprises a first and a second guide 28 and 29 for the cleaning elements 11, both shaped so as to cause flexible support 24 to bend, in particular during the motion of cleaning elements 11, so that cleaning portion 25 is maintained substantially in contact with the surface of shoe 2.
- Guides 28 and 29 are arranged on the opposite side of base
- guides 28, 29 are asso- ciated with cover 8 and are movable with the same.
- guides 28, 29 are movable between a non- operational position, corresponding to the lifted position of cover 8, and an operational position corresponding to the lowered position of cover 8. in correspondence of the lifted position, guides 28, 29 do not affect cleaning elements 11, while in correspondence of the lowered position they are substantially arranged along the trajectory at least of the upper end 24b of cleaning elements 11.
- each guide 28, 29 is substantially V-shaped.
- each guide 28, 29 has respective axis Al, A2 substantially parallel to direction D.
- the maximum width between the tines 30, 31 of each guide 28, 29 is substantially equal to the distance between the rectilinear portions 16, 17 of each chain 12, 13.
- Each guide 28, 29 has a track 32 having a substantially curvilinear profile 33 to better cause cleaning element 11 to bend.
- profile 33 has a curvature differentiated between an entry/exit section 33a, depending on the advancement direction considered, in track 32, substantially in correspondence of the ends of tines 30, 31 and a vertex section 33b substantially in correspondence of the vertex of the "V" .
- track 32 is inclined with respect to base 3.
- track 32 is shaped so that, during use, as cleaning element 11 progresses towards the direction V of fig. 3 along the portion 16 from entry section 33a towards vertex sec- tion 33b of guide 28, 29, cleaning element 11 bends more and more against shoe 2, so that cleaning portion 25 performs effectively the brushing or cleaning or polishing action for which it is designed.
- the distance of track 32 from supporting element 20 or from base 3 has a value Hl in correspondence of entry/exit section 33a and a value H2 in correspondence of vertex section 33b where Hl is substantially greater than H2 with cover 8 in the lowered position.
- machine 1 comprises gripping and supporting means 34 for shoes 2.
- Such means 34 as will be better described in the following, cooperate with cover 8 to maintain shoes 2 in a position suitable to the cleaning thereof within compartment 7.
- Means 34 are further designed to keep shoe 2 so shaped that it can be suitably treated by cleaning elements 11. More in detail, gripping and supporting means 34 have a lower assembly 35 intended to be introduced into shoe 2.
- Assembly 35 has an upper element 3G shaped so as to adapt to the upper of shoe 2 from within shoe 2.
- a lower element 37 apt to abut against the insole of shoe 2 is articulated with up- per element 36-
- Element 36 and element 37 are hinged to each other substantially in correspondence of a respective end 36a, 37a.
- Element 36 and element 37 are mutually interconnected by way of an elastic element 38 which tends to separate them so that, when lower element 37 abuts against the insole of shoe 2, upper element 36 tends to adapt to the upper of shoe 2.
- Gripping and supporting means 34 comprise a short pipe 39 extending substantially vertically from assembly 35.
- An abutting element 40 of cover 8 in the closed position is slidably coupled with short pipe 39 and is movable with respect to the same between a spaced away and a closer position.
- abutting element 40 of cover 8 there is arranged a second elastic element 41 to keep element 40 and short pipe 39 in the spaced away posi- tion.
- the abutting element 40 is shaped so as to define a handle 42 by which to easily move ' gripping means 34.
- Abutting element 40 comprises a substantially planar upper surface 43 abutting against cover 8 and a lower surface 44 shaped for gripping. It is important to be noted that abutting element 40 extends mainly parallel to assembly 35 and in particular to the upper element 36 of the same.
- abutting element 40 has one end 45 substantially aligned vertically with a corresponding front end portion 46 of assembly 35.
- the overall height of gripping means 34 is greater than the overall height of compartment 7 with cover 8 lowered so that cover 8 in the lowered position forces gripping means 34 to maintain a stable position, i.e. said gripping means 34 maintain the respective shoe 2 suitably positioned in the respective seat 9.
- Machine 1 comprises a dispenser 47 of substances suitable for treating shoes 2.
- Dispenser 47 is positioned in machine 1 so that, after op- eration thereof, a predetermined dose of the substance contained in the same is fed to the surface of shoe 2.
- dispenser 47 is of the single-dose type and the type of substance filled in dispenser 47 is advantageously dependant on the type of shoe 2 to be treated.
- gripping element 40 is shaped, substantially in correspondence of the end 45 thereof, so as to define a seat 48 for substance dispenser 47.
- Substance dispenser 48 has a bellows-like portion 49 coupled with a dispenser nozzle 50. Dispenser 48 may be positioned in its seat 48 so that nozzle 50 is oriented towards assembly 45.
- bellows-like portion 49 extends above upper surface 43 of the gripping element 40, against which surface cover 8 abuts.
- dispenser 48 may be replaced when the substance has run out or when it is necessary to change the same according to the shoes 2 to be treated.
- machine 1 comprises drying means 55 arranged substantially in correspondence of seat 9 and operationally active on shoes 2.
- drying means 55 cooperate in drying the shoes 2 treated with the humid substance .
- drying means 55 comprise a fan schematically shown by a corresponding block 56. Fan 56 is arranged inside compartment 7 so as to generate, during use, an air flow which affects shoes 2.
- Drying means 55 comprise a heater 57 associated with fan 56 to heat the air flow generated by fan 56. Thereby the drying flow comprises warm air better suited to drying the substance applied on shoes 2.
- drying means 55 are positioned with respect to shoe seats 9 so that the drying flow affects shoes 2 evenly.
- gripping and supporting means 34 are coupled with a respective shoe 2, i.e. assembly 35 is introduced into the same where it remains firmly positioned due to elastic element 38.
- Shoe 2 can hence be arranged into the respective seat 9 and cover 8 can be lowered.
- cover 8 squeezes the bellows-like portion 49 of dispenser 47 which releases a dose of cleaning or polishing or in any case suited substance onto the front outer surface of corresponding shoe 2.
- Cover 8 hence abuts against the upper surface 43 of gripping element 40 and under the action of hydraulic cylinder 8a forces it downwards.
- cover 8 is counteracted at least by second elastic element 41, and supporting means 34 - jointly with re- spective shoe 2 - are locked inside compartment 7.
- Cleaning elements 11 are hence activated and moved around shoes 2, along path P.
- fastening elements 20 are shaped so that the cited cleaning portion 25 does not affect the lateral surface of the sole of shoes 2 during the motion around the same. In such respect, reference is made to fig. 7, where a fastening element 20 is shown.
- a dovetail groove 51 which extends along a substantially curvilinear path with respect to the vertical extension of element 20.
- lower end 51a of groove 51 is farther away from side 52 of fastening element 20 facing seat 9, with respect to upper end 51b of groove 51.
- Machine 1 achieves important advantages.
- the elastic elements in particular, supply great versa- tility to the cleaning machine, since the same can be advantageously used both with a wide range of footwear, for example from European size 36 to 46, and with different types of footwear.
- the action of the cleaning elements on the shoe is effec- tive across the entire shoe surface.
- the machine design is relatively simple, for example operation of the same is obtained through only one single motor, and it is hence more economical than known-art machines.
