    摘要: A bicycle cleat-fitting tool system may include a body with a superior face and an inferior face. The body defines a cleat receptacle for receiving a cleat to be fitted, with the cleat receptacle perpendicular to a medial line of the body. The superior face of the body includes a cleat retaining mechanism to selectively hold a cleat to be fitted in place within the cleat receptacle. The body also includes angle measurement indicia to indicate a degree of rotation of the body and the cleat receptacle with respect to a bicycle shoe to be fitted with the cleat. Methods for determining an accurate toe-out angle and angle of adjustment for the cleat are also described.

    摘要: Manufacturing of a shoe is enhanced by creating 3-D models of shoe parts. For example, a laser beam may be projected onto a shoe-part surface, such that a projected laser line appears on the shoe part. An image of the projected laser line may be analyzed to determine coordinate information, which may be converted into geometric coordinate values usable to create a 3-D model of the shoe part. Once a 3-D model is known and is converted to a coordinate system recognized by shoe-manufacturing tools, certain manufacturing steps may be automated.

    摘要: A system for establishing a junction trace of an assembly includes a surface model creating module, a processing module, and a material inspection module. The assembly includes a first part and a second part assembled with each other. The surface model creating module scans the first part and the second part to separately establish first surface model data and second surface model data. The processing module establishes assembled surface model data according to the first surface model data and the second surface model data, determines a junction region from the assembled surface model data, and determines inspection points mapped on the assembly according to the junction region. The material inspection module inspects materials of the assembly at the inspection points. The processing module establishes a junction trace of the first part and the second part in the assembly according to a material inspection result.

    摘要: A system for inspecting an upper of a shoe includes an optical sub-system and a processor. The optical sub-system captures an image related to a work piece which includes the upper and a last so as to output image data representing the image. The processor receives the image data, establishes a work piece model that is a three-dimensional model of the work piece based on the image data, obtains a cross section of the work piece model, obtains an entry of section data related to the cross section of the work piece model, and compares the entry of section data and an entry of predetermined standard data so as to generate a result of inspection indicating whether the upper is normal.

    摘要: A bicycle shoe cleat positioning device for use in determining the position of a bicycle shoe cleat is provided. The bicycle shoe cleat positioning device comprises a base portion, a holding portion connected to the base portion, a coupler configured to connect to the holding portion, a cleat connector, a connecting member, and a cleat positioning assembly. The cleat positioning assembly comprises a first positioner configured to determine a first position of the cleat connector about a first axis, a second positioner configured to determine a second position of the cleat connector along a second axis, and a third positioner configured to determine a third position of the cleat connector along a third axis.
