Definitions

  • Thisinvention relates to machines for use in the manufacture of shoes and is illustrated herein as embodied in a heel-seat fitting machine, v i
  • the heel-seat portions of the soles Ofthe shoes are prepared for the reception of'the concave attaching surfaces of the heels by trimmingolf' surplus 'stockaround' the periphery of the heel-seat portion of the sole of each shoe and forming a heel'breast receiving abutment at the heel breastline of the sole.
  • This operation iscommonly called heel-seat fitting.
  • The-heel breast receiving abutments formed in the solesof shoes to which Louis heels are to be attached are often provided by making a transverse cut in'the sole of the shoe, inclined forwardly toward the attaching surface of the sole, thus roducing a flap having a thin end and a thic er base and serving as an abutment beneath which the projecting portion of the breast of a Louis heel canbe positioned, as disclosed and claimed in Let ters Patent of the United States No. 1,527,963,
  • abutment where used broadly and without qualification, is intended todesignate the surface or surfaces. against which the heel bears at its forward extremlty, regardless of the form of the surface'and regardless" of whether the surface is continuous or is formed of two portions separated or spaced apart.
  • the illustrated machine is provided with a rotary cutter movable transversely across the sole of a shOe presented to the machine from one edge of the sole to the other.
  • the illustrated machine is provided with ,a guide extending transversely across the sole of a shoe carried by a suitable support and along which the cutter is moved as it operates upon the sole.
  • the illustrated machine like the heel seat fitting machines referred toabove, Is also provided with a cutter for trimming the surplus stock from and beveling the peripheral portion of the heel-seat of the sole, this cutter being controlled as it moves peripherally of the heel-seat in the manner disclosed in an a plication for Letters Patent of the United tates, Serial No. 170,881, filed February 25, 1927 in the name of Harrie A. Ballard.
  • a further feature of the present invention comprises novel means for controlling the path of movement of the abutment forming cutter of the machine in such a manner that it will be moved heightwise of the sole of a shoe as it is moved transversely thereof.
  • the illustrated machine is provided with a cam arranged to control the movement of the cutter heightwise of the shoe, the illustrator cam being made up of a plurality of relatively movable sections by adjustment of which the heightwise movement of the cutter may be changed, thus adapting the machine to form the heel breast receiving abutment with accuracy on shoes of different widths.
  • the machine is also provided wit means illustrated as a cam for controlling the movement of the abutment forming cutter lengthwise of the shoe so that the abutment will be given a transverse inclination corresponding to the transverse curvature of a heel breast.
  • the abutment forming cutter as it enters the sole at one edge thereof, is moving in a path arranged at about degrees to the median line of the shoe and inclined rearwardly toward the median line of the shoe.
  • the machine is provided with means, illustrated as a cam, arranged to control the angular relation of the cutter to its path of movement and formed to cause the angular relation of the cutter to the median line of the sole to be the same in quantity but opposite in direction when the cutter is operating upon the sole at opposite sides of its median line.
  • the abutment forming cutter is rotated about an axis which diverges rearwardly from the median line upon one side as the cutter approaches the median line from one side of the shoe and upon the other side as the cutter recedes from the median line upon the other side of the shoe.
  • the guide of the illustrated machine along which the cutter utilized to form the heel breast receiving abutment for Cuban heel work travels in its movenent transversely across the sole of the shoe is arranged for adjustment lengthwise of the shoe.
  • the illustrated machine is provided with a heel measuring gage comprising a fixed heel-engaging member and a movable heel-engaging member between which the heel to be attached to the shoe, or a heel like that heel, may be positioned.
  • Suitable connect-ions are provided between the guide for the abutment forming cutter and the movable gage member so that when the latter is brought into measuring engagement with a heel the former willbe located lengthwise of the shoe in such a position that the cutter, as it moves along the guide, will form the heel breast receiving abutment on the shoe at the position appropriate for the reception of the heel measured by the gage.
  • the rear end of the shoe is positioned both longitudinally and transversely byrnovel gage mechanism which constitutes still another feature of the invention.
  • Another feature of the invention comprises a presserfoot or holddown member adjacent to and arranged to travel in front of the abutment forming cutter as the latter moves transversely across the sole of a shoe, the holddown member being effective to prevent displacement of the sole of the shoe by the cutter and thus being effective also to insure that the cutter cuts and does not tear the sole.
  • this abutment is sprin pressed toward the sole so that it may yield to conform to the transverse curvature of the sole.
  • Still another feature comprises a holddown member arranged to cooperate with the trimming cutter which removes the sur plus material from the peripheral portion of the heel-seat of the sole ofthe shoe.
  • the invention provides a holddown member arranged to ride up over the edge of the sole as the trimming cutter is brought into engagement with the sole and to move with the cutter peripherally of the heel-seat portion of the sole.
  • this holddown takes the form of a conical member surroundmg the trimming cutter and spring-pressed toward the sole of the shoe.
