PAD FOR SOLE-LAYING MACHINES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

PatentedAug. 10, 1920.

Application filed April 29, 1919. Serial No. 293,510.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MAIuUs METHILTUS SiGRENSEN, a subject of the King of Denmark, residing at Vallerod, in the island of Seeland, in the Kingdom of Denmark, have invented certain'new and useful improvements in Pads for Sole-Laying Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to means by which there can be conveniently provided an effective and accurately shaped pressure under lay especially adapted for sole laying machines for use during the various pressure operations occurring in soling, rubbing down, etc.

The device consists of a system of uniformly shaped members disposed side by side in longitudinal and transverse rows. The ends of certain of these members and sides of certain of the other members form the desired underlay surface, and the members are movable in a direction at right or approximately right angles to said surface and can be secured in adjusted positions, so that, after being put into the right shape by being applied to a model or the sole of a model shoe, the underlay can be secured in this shape, and, after use, can be shaped on other models.

One form of this device is, by way of example, diagrammatically shown in the accompanying drawing. Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of the device; Fig. 2 trans verse section; and Fig. 3 plan view respectively.

In the drawing the rod shaped members t have longitudinal slits 5 by means of which they are suspended in rows on wires or rods 6, which are fixed to one end piece 7 of a frame 8 and run freely through corresponding holes in an opposite stretcher-block 9, having a soft pressure-surface. Each member can, independent of the others, be shifted axially up or down over a distance corresponding to the height of the slits 5 (minus the diameter of the wire 6), and each row of members by itself, or all the rows to gether, can, notwithstanding the altitudinal position of the various members, be secured against axial movement, so as to form a complete block, by tightening one or more screws 10, or the like.

When the members are unsecured, 2'. 6.,

when the screw 10 is not tightened, and the device is held in such a way that the members, with their rounded or otherwise suitably shaped ends, are allowed to move downwardly from above against a model or the sole 11 of a model boot or shoe, the member will assume such positions that their ends will form a surface of just'the shape which the desired resistance surface should have, and these positions they will retain when the screw 10 is tightened. Not only will the various members in each row assume the various altitudinal positions that correspond to the longitudinal curve of the shoe or boot sole, but in the transverse direction the member will assume various altitudinal positions corresponding to the transverse curve of the instep and other parts, and some of the members will wholly or partially receive the lateral pressure.

The described device will thus act, in principle, like a plastic material, which can be hardened after shaping.

The shown details are illustrative of the invention and may be modified in many different Ways. For instance, the members need not lie in direct contact with each other and be held together by means of their mutual pressure, either in the longitudinal direction, as shown in the drawing, or in its transverse direction, but they may be inserted into holes or slits in two or more plates, or the like, and be held fast by means of squeezing, as a result of relative shifting or turning of these plates. Likewise the limitation of their shiftability or their connection with the utensil may be attained in many other ways than that here shown.

I claim 1. A pad for sole laying machines comprising a frame, a series of longitudinal and transverse rows of axially movable members mounted in said frame, and means for looking the members against axial movement in either direction after they have been placed in adjusted positions.

2. A pad of the kind defined in claim '1 in which the members are longitudinally slotted and rods carried by the frame extend through the slots.

In testimony whereof I aliix my signature.
