    摘要: For digitising a surface portion of a three-dimensional article a light source (14) is provided which projects onto the surface portion to be digitised of an article (S) a narrow band of light which extends over the surface portion. In addition, by effecting relative movement between the article and the light source (14) the narrow light band is caused to traverse progressively over the surface portion from one end thereof to the other. A camera (22) comprising a two-dimensional array of cells (26) monitors the location of the narrow light band at successive localities along its traversed path, the cells of the camera being illuminated according to the incidence thereon of light reflected from the narrow beam, and processor means is provided whereby the location of the narrow light band at selected intervals in its traverse are converted to digitised coordinate axis values, along three axes, said values thus being representative of the contour of the surface portion. The apparatus may be free-standing, serving to digitise the surface of an article, e.g. a shoe bottom, in an individual operation, or alternatively may be incorporated in a machine for effecting a progressive operation, again, e.g. on shoe bottoms. The apparatus may also be used for monitoring edges of components and for determining the configuration of marginal portions of such components, in order to enable the operating path of a tool at or adjacent such edge to be automatically determined, or may be used in a machine for pulling an article over a former e.g. a shoe pulling and lasting machine.

    摘要: Système d'affichage d'images de pied et de recouvrement de celles-ci par une image d'une chaussure choisie, comprenant un élément d'affichage (122) pour afficher une image d'un pied mesuré et une image d'une chaussure choisie ainsi qu'un dispositif d'entrée (126) servant à produire un mouvement relatif entre l'image de chaussure et l'image de pied mesuré pour déterminer de manière électronique si la chaussure choisie est de la pointure requise pour le pied mesuré. Le système peut comprendre un dispositif de mesure de pied (134) servant à mesurer et à produire une image du pied sur l'élément d'affichage (122) et une base de données fournissant des données choisies concernant les chaussures à l'élément d'affichage (122). En outre un système intégré de catalogage et de sélection d'images de chaussures est décrit, lequel comprend un dispositif de mesure de pied (134) servant à mesurer électroniquement le pied d'un client, un dispositif de traitement de données (120) servant à recevoir des données relatives aux données de mesure de pied, aux données d'identification de client et de préférence du client, un dispositif de mémorisation (170) servant à mémoriser un catalogue de chausssures comprenant des images de chaussures et des données relatives à celles-ci, et un élément d'affichage servant à afficher des images et des données relatives au pied mesuré, des images de chaussures proposées et des données concernant les chaussures proposées mémorisées dans le catalogue de chaussures. Selon ce système, les images de chaussures proposées et les données relatives à celles-ci sont automatiquement sélectionnées par la corrélation des données de préférence de clients et celles de mesures de pied avec les données relatives aux chaussures incluses dans le catalogue de chaussures.

    摘要: For accurately positioning a shoe upper on its last preliminarily to a pulling over and toe lasting operation, the machine comprises an optical scanning system (20) by which, in cooperation with a central processor unit (22), coordinate axis values can be determined for selected portions of the topline region of the shoe upper (the "actual" values) and be compared with a set of taught data relevant to the shoe style, such taught data representing the positions in which the selected portions of the topline region of the shoe upper are to be located (the "should be" values), the central processor unit (22) comparing the actual and "should be" values and supplying correction signals to motors (16) associated one with each of the pincers (10, 12) whereby the shoe upper is selectively tensioned in order to achieve the desired location of the topline region of the shoe upper on its last.

    摘要: A foot impression unit (10) is provided with an array of gauging elements (34), a control mechanism (36) for urging the gauging elements (34) into contact with the undersurface of a person's foot (12) to form an impression of the undersurface of the foot, a locking mechanism (38) for releasably locking and gauging elements in place to retain that impression, and a sensing mechanism (102) for scanning the gauging elements (34) to produce digital signals indicative of the positions of the gauging elements. These digital signals are stored and processed by a computer to provide a stored data record serving as a digital representation of the impression of the undersurface of the foot (12). The computer may also be employed to provide stored additional information for modifying that data record to compen­sate for a perceived defect of the foot (12). In response to the stored data record and any stored additional information for modifying that data record, a shaping unit shapes an insert blank to form a custom-made shoe insert conforming to the under­surface of the foot (12) and compensating for any perceived defect of the foot.

    摘要: An orthotic vending machine may comprise a measuring and orthotic fabricating apparatus. The measuring apparatus may comprise a plurality of probes capable of sensing pressure at various pixels on the underside surfaces of the person's feet at various configurations and determining the heights at the various pixels for the various configurations. The fabricating apparatus may lay down a plurality of discs on a base layer having different hardnesses based on the measured pressure and heights by the measuring apparatus to fabricate customized orthotics. As a further alternative, the fabricating apparatus may form the customized orthotic via milling orthotic blanks based on the measured pressure and heights by the measuring apparatus. The orthotic vending machine may be placed in shoe retail shops such that shoe purchasers may purchase a shoe and a customized orthotic during one visit to the shoe store.
