These electrical outputs are recorded and [561 References Cited stored on magnetic tape which is transported to the computer site located at a point remote from the site UNITED STATES PATENTS where foot contour measurements were taken.
  • This invention relates to custom apparel forms or lasts in general, and more particularly relates to a novel process which includes the utilization of multiple probes to take body contour measurements and the control of an automatic machine tool to cut a custom form or mold cavity from a blank.
  • the instant invention sets forth a novel method and apparatus for producing a custom apparel form or last by utilizing the services of relatively unskilled people and by eliminating the necessity of producing a mold of the body portion being fitted.
  • foot contour measurements are taken by a relatively unskilled person, utilizing a measuring block carrying a plurality of parallel air-pressure operated probes that are extended simultaneously into engagement with the foot.
  • the degree to which each probe must be extended to contact the foot produces an electrical signal that is recorded on a magnetic tape by apparatus located in the general area where the foot measurements are taken.
  • the tape bearing the foot model data is shipped to a processing center where a computer combines the foot model data with empirically derived style model data to produce a punch-tape containing last-information signals. This punch-tape is used to control operation of an automatic milling machine which cuts the custom shoe-last from a wood blank or block.
  • a primary object of the instant invention is to provide a novel process and apparatus for taking body contour measurements and producing a custom apparel form or last.
  • Another object is to provide a novel process whereby a custom apparel form is produced by relatively unskilled workers.
  • Still another object is to provide a novel process for the rapid, accurate production of a custom shoe-last.
  • a further object is to provide a novel construction for a foot contour measuring device.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram type flow chart, illustrating the novel process of the instant invention when used for a custom shoe-last.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective of a custom shoe-last.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective showing the probes of a measuring block engaging one side of a foot.
  • FIG. 4 is a longitudinal cross-section through an airpressure operated piston-cylinder type capacitor having one of the measuring probes extending axially from the piston.
  • FIG. 5 is a side elevation showing a foot positioning platform, with measuring blocks mounted thereto for measuring the rear contour and front upper contour of the foot.
  • FIG. 6 is a plan view of the foot positioning platform.
  • the customer with the advice and guidance of an operator of a custom shoe store, selects an appropriate style of shoe.
  • the style number together with the customer's name and address, are entered by the store operator in his records, and the style number is also entered in the material which will be forwarded to a computer center.
  • the customers foot 1 1 is placed on support platform 12 (FIG. 5) and a foot or body contour measuring device 15 (FIG. 1), including measuring blocks 15A, 15B, 15C is operated, in a manner to be hereinafter explained, to produce electrical analog signals related to foot or body contour measurements.
  • Converter 16 transforms these foot contour measurements to digital foot model data which is recorded and stored on magnetic tape 17.
  • the latter is mailed or otherwise delivered to a computer center, where foot or body model data on tape 17 is provided as an input to shoelast information computer 18.
  • Magnetic tape 21, containing empirically derived style model data is taken from repository 22, and provides another input for computer 18.
  • Magnetic tape 21a containing foot contour'measurements used previously to produce lasts for the style in question, is taken from repository 22a and provides another input for computer 18.
  • the foot contour data stored on tape 17 is first compared with the data stored on tape 210. If the last or form for making a desired shoe style for a similar foot has already been constructed, the information to retrieve that last is produced by computer 18. The shoe is made over the previously constructed last and thus saves the time and expense of producing an identical last.
  • computer 18 combines the foot model data stored on magnetic tape 17 and style model data stored on magnetic tape 21 in accordance with a selected computer program to produce shoe-last information which is recorded on the punch-tape output 22 of computer 18.
  • Punch-tape 22 is then used to control the operation of automatic machine tool 20, having bit 23 which mills or cuts rectangular woodblock 24, constituting a blank, to produce custom shoelast 25.
  • the shape of shoe-last 25 is generally in the shape of foot 11, but modified in accordance with the dictates of the empirically derived style model data for the selected shoe style.

  • a stationary part of this capacitor is a glass tube 29 with two metal deposit areas 27 and 28 on the outside of the tube.
  • Metal piston 30, closely fitted to the inside diameter of the glass tube 29, constitutes the moving element.
  • each capacitor 33 is arranged in columns and rows supported by the front and back insulating plates 36 and 37, respectively.
  • Face plates 61 and 62 contain respective sealbushings 39a, 3912, which serve as pneumatic seals for the cylinder 29 and also as stops for limiting the travel of piston 30.
  • the front end of each probe 31 is provided with rounded plastic tip 32 to lessen the discomfort upon its contact with foot 11. Pneumatic pressure is applied to the interior of cylinder 29 through ports 41a, 41b in the respective front and back face plates 61 and 62, forcing piston 30 to move in the direction of lower pressure.
  • metalized areas 27 and 28 are connected to electrical oscillator 99 and the output signal from piston 30 is transmitted through shielded cable 43 to converter 16.
  • the center conductor of cable 43 is threaded through probe 31, and the outer conductor of cable 43 is attached to probe 31 and grounded, thereby providing an electrical shield for the signal carrying conductor.
  • a multiplex selector not shown
  • two different position readings are taken for each of the probes 31. One of the readings is taken when a first magnitude of air pressure urges piston 34 to the left with respect to FIG. 4, and a second reading for probe 31 is taken when a second different pressure urges piston 34 to the left.
  • foot 1 1 is shown supported by interchangeable plate 51 which is mounted generally at the central portion of positioning platform 12.
  • the contour of the upper surface of plate 51 is predetermined in accordance with the style of shoe for which the customer is being measured. In general, heel height is controlling for the contour of plate 51.
  • Bracket means 52 adjustably positionable on the upper surface of platform 12, supports and positions measuring block A confronting the side of foot 11 at the rear thereof.
  • Another bracket means 53 supports and positions measuring block 158, so that the probes thereof engage the upper surface of foot 11 forward of the leg.
  • Bracket means 53 is provided with elongated slots 54 through which clamping screws 55 extend, so that bracket means 53 may be adjustably positioned on platform 12 by movement toward or away from stationary bracket means 52.
