Definitions

  • This invention relates to the art of shoemaking and particularly to methods and machines for treating the overlasted margins of shoe uppers to prepare them for the attachment of outsoles by cement and to the product of such methods and machines.
  • the area to be roughed may be indicated with marks which are indelible in the sense that they will not be obliterated by the operation of the roughing machine and will remain permanently as an indication of the extent of the area which should be roughed.
  • These "marks may take the form of perforations extending through the upper and lining materials or they may be mere indentations or incisions which do not extend through the upper leather.
  • the perforations or other marks in the overlasted portion of the shoe upper may be made progressively in conjunction with a progressive lasting operation and may be gaged by the same gaging means which is utilized to control the position of the fastenings inserted by the lasting machine.
  • perforations may be utilized in some instances to the exclusion of a subsequent roughing, operation.
  • the sole attaching cement fills the perforations and is forced from them between the layers of .the upper and between the upper and the insole, thus thoroughly bonding the outsole to the shoe bottom.
  • an insole which may have a coat of dry cement on its margin, is applied to a last and an upper is assembled on the last and pulled over.
  • successive portions of the upper, at the sides at least of the shoe are tensioned and worked over the insole, for example, by means of a gripper, each portion being secured in lasted position by suitable securing means, for example staples.
  • indicating marks are made upon the upper in predetermined relation to the edge of the shoe bottom so as to indicate to the roughing machine operator how far the roughing should extend outwardly of the shoe bottom.
  • These marks may, as illustrated, be made by a punch operating in conjunction with the operation of inserting metallic fastenings such, for example, as staples, to hold the upper in lasted relation to the insole.
  • the punch may be hollow and may be driven through the upper and lining so that at each operation a small portion of the upper material is removed, thus exposing the cemented surface of the insole so that cement applied to the overlasted margin of the upper may pass through the openings in the upper and reach the insole or the cement thereon.
  • the indicating marks may be made by anincising or indenting tool operating a predetermined distance from the edge of the shoe bottom to form depressions in the upper which indicate the outer limit to which the roughing operation should be carried.
  • the illustrated machine comprises a'gripper for seizing and tensioning heightwise of the last and over the last successive portions of the upper, a stapling nozzle including a staple driving mechanism movable over a shoe bottom to work the tensioned portion of the upper into lasted position, a gage for the edge of the shoe bottom by which a staple driven through the nozzle is located a predetermined distance from the edge of the shoe bottom, and a marking device which may, as illustrated, be in the form of a tubular punch which is operated to perforate each overlasted portion of the upper at a predetermined distance from the edge of the shoe bottom as dedescription when read in connection with the accompanying drawing which indicate, in an illustrative manner merely, how the invention may be practiced, and will be pointed out in the appended claims.

  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of the bottom of the shoe shown in Fig. 1 after a roughing operation has been performed thereon;
  • Fig. 3 is a side elevation of certain parts of a staple lasting machine equipped with a marking device
  • Fig. 4 is a detail in perspective of parts shown in Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 5 is a detail marking tool. 1
  • Fig. 1 such marks being indicated by the numeral 10 a'nd'consisting, as illustrated, of a line of perforations made through the upper and lining at a predetermined distance from the edge of the shoe bottom.
  • Fig. 1 also are indicated at 12 metallic fastenings by which the upper is secured in lasted position to the insole.
  • FIG. 3 shows the operating instrumentalities of a staple side lasting machine ofthe type disclosed in Letters Patent of the United States No. 1,815,297, granted July 21, 1931, on the application of George Goddu.
  • the machine is provided with agripper 14 for tensioning successive portions of an upper ing and inserting mechanism which is movable bodily toward and from the shoe in directions inclined to the bottom face ofthe'insole and serves, in its movement toward the shoe, to workthe margin of the upper over the insole into position to be fastened.
  • the staple forming and inserting mechanism is carried by a movable, slide 16 which derives its movement from-a cam on the main shaft of the machine;
  • a staple driver 18 4 is secured to a driver slide 20 which is movable m teringa-slot 86 inthe lever 24tuformaconnecin a guideway formed in a bracket 22 attached to a forward extension of the slide 16.
  • the driver slide 20 is operated by a lever 24 which is pivoted on a stud 26 on a forward extension of the slide 16 and is provided with a block 28 which enters a recess in the driver slide 20.
  • the lever 24 is actuated by a bell-crank lever 30 pivoted on a stud 32.
  • Astrong torsion spring 34 surrounds the stud 32 which, after being tensioned, can impart driving motion to the driver 18 through the levers '24 and 30, aroll on the bell-crank lever 30 ention between the two levers.
  • a latch 38 pivotally mounted at 40 on a lever 42 which is pivoted at 44 to the frame of the machine remains in engagement with a plate 46 fast on the bell-crank lever 30, the bell-crank lever 30 being therefore turned in a direction to tension the spring 34.
  • Driving of the staple is effected when the engagement between the latch 38 and the plate 46 is broken, this taking place at the proper time through a cam controlling movement of the lever 42.
  • a plate 48 which is secured to the head frame of the machine and carries an edge gage 50, is provided with a forwardly projecting lug 52 in which a rock-shaft 54 is Journaled.
  • a punch-carrying member 56 Secured to the rock-shaft 54 is a punch-carrying member 56 on the forward end of which a small tubular punch 58 is mounted.
  • an upstanding arm 60 Also secured to the rock-shaft 54 is an upstanding arm 60.
  • a lug 62 Formed on or rigidly attached to the bell-crank lever- 30 is a lug 62 through which a screw 64 is threaded and is held in adjusted position by means of a lock nut 66.
  • counterclockwise movement of the arm 60 is limited by contact of the arm 60 with an adjusting stop screw 68 threaded through a lug 70 on the plate 48, and the arm is held normally contacting with the screw 68 by means of a spring 72 connected between the plate 48 and the arm 60.
  • the punch 58 is preferably located at one side of the staple nozzle and as close as practicable thereto. As'illustrated in Fig. 3, the punch is behind the nozzle; that is, viewing the machine fromthe front, the punch is at the right-hand .side of the nozzle. over the bottom of a last and with staple form-
  • the work is preferably prepared for the operation of the. described machine as follows: An insole, the marginof which has been coated with cement and allowed to dry, is secured to the bottom of alast and an upper assembled upon the last and pulled over.
  • a shoe thus prepared is presented to the machinewith its edge against I the edge gage 50, and in the operation of the machine successive portions of the upper along the side of the shoe are seized by the gripper 14, tensioned heightwise of the shoe, and carried 'over the shoe bottom.
  • the slide 16 advances, causing the nozzle of the stapling mechanism to press the tensioned portion of the upper into lasted position against the bottom of the insole.
  • the latch 38" is released and a staple driven through the upper and into, but not through, the insole to secure the upper in lasted position. -simultaneously with the.
  • the screw 64 strikes the arm and actuates the punch 58 to perforate the upper at a predetermined distance from the edge of the shoe, since the shoe is'held against the edge gage 50, and at shoe is performed subsequently to the side lasting operation described and upon machines of a different type, the toe portion being frequently lasted-by used a machine of the bed type and the heel portion being lasted either on that machine or on a heel-seat lasting machine.
  • the overlasted upper at the end portions of the shoe may be secured in lasted position by means of tacks, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • Fig. 5 is illustrated another kind of marking tool 74 which may be used in place of thetubular punch 58.
  • the tool '14 is provided with an edge extending substantially parallel to the edge of the shoe bottom at the operating point and located in predetermined relation to the edge of the shoe to locate the outer limit to which the roughing operation should be carried.
  • the edge of the tool 74 will, if blunt, make a linear indentation '76 in the leather or, if sharp, may cut at least through the grain of the leather, in either case indelibly marking the leather for the purpose above described.
  • the roughing operation has hitherto called for a considerable amount of care and judgment upon the part of 'the operator and has consequently been rather slow'since it is necessary to carry the roughing operation near enough to' the edge of the shoe bottom to secure propersubsequent adhesion but must not be carried beyond the area of subsequent union of the shoe and outsole,.since, in that case, a roughed portion of the upper would be visible in the completed shoe.
  • the edge of the shoe bottom is generally sufiiciently well defined at the toe portion to enable the operator to rough the overlasted upper at this portion to the required extent without muchdifflculty, and the heel portion is not usually roughed, but at the sides, particularly in the shanks of many shoes, the shape of the-last is such that the'edge of the shoe bottom (that is, the boundary of the subsequent area of contact between the shoe bottom and the outsole) is not well deflned.-
  • the .operator has hitherto had to work very carefully
  • the roughing at the sides of the shoe is confined just within a boundary clearly defii .ed by the outside extremities of the perforations, which boundary accurately defines the proper area for roughing, the perforations being sufiiciently close together to enable the operator to follow such boundary quite readily.
  • a line of perforations is particularly suitable for indicating the extent to which the roughing operation should be carried since they provide indelible marks thateven a raised line which would be quckly ob-y soured by dust or eifaced by the action of the 'roughing tool.
  • a further advantage of the perforations lies in the fact that it sometimes hep-- pens that surface fibers of material are torn up in such manner that the tearing tends to extend somewhat beyond the actual locality of contact between the tool and the upper, an effect which obviously increases the difiiculty of obtaining an accurately defined boundary on the roughened area.
  • perforations are made in the upper, it will be evident that tearing of the surface material begun in theproximity of the perforations will not continue outwardly beyond suchperforations, so that the perforations to some extent reduce the tendency of such undesirable surface tearing to occur.
