摘要:
A system and method may simultaneously apply a limited visibility bite line to a temporarily assembled shoe upper and shoe sole while also generating a digital bite line. The digital bite line may be used to generate a tool path for the application of adhesives to the shoe upper and/or to the shoe sole assembly to permanently assemble the shoe. The limited visibility bite line may comprise a mark or other indicia observable only under specific viewing conditions and/or only for a limited amount of time or until removal. The limited visibility bite line may be used for quality control check purposes to verify, for example, the proper application of adhesives or the proper assembly of the shoe. The limited visibility bite line may be unobservable to the ultimate purchaser and/or wearer of the shoe.

A bicycle cleat positioning kit includes a first section and a second section. The first section has a first shoe attachment portion that is configured to be detachably coupled to a first bicycle shoe. The first section being configured to adjustably position a first cleat on a first sole of the first bicycle shoe. The second section has a second shoe attachment portion that is configured to be detachably coupled to a second bicycle shoe different from the first bicycle shoe. The second section being configured to adjustably position a second cleat on a second sole of the second bicycle shoe.

The present invention refers to a method for determining the dynamic characteristics of a ski boot comprising the steps of selecting at least three parameters suitable to represent some dynamic characteristics of the boot, experimentally determining the values assumed from each of the parameters, and finally determining the dynamic behavior of the ski boot on the basis of the combination of the values measured in the previous step. Also claimed is an apparatus for determining a parameter of dynamic behavior of a ski boot.

Manufacturing and assembly of a shoe or a portion of a shoe is enhanced by automated placement and assembly of shoe parts. For example, a part-recognition system analyzes an image of a shoe part to identify the part and determine a location of the part. Once the part is identified and located, the part can be manipulated by an automated manufacturing tool.

A kiosk apparatus that may select for a person a recommended footcare product based on pressure measurements collected from pressures sensors or calculated biomechanical data estimates. Pressure measurements and calculated biomechanical data estimates may be used to determine if a foot is unshod on the pressure sensor and also group a person into a classified subgroup. The pressure measurement and calculated biomechanical data estimates may also be used to select a recommended footcare product.

A tool (401) is provided for adjusting the orientation of cycling cleats on cycling shoes (503). The tool includes a radius (415) having a first protrusion (405) extending therefrom; a pedal adapter (411) which is disposed on a first major surface of said radius and which releasably engages a pedal on a bicycle or cycling machine; a cleat adapter (423), disposed on a second major surface of said radius, which releasably engages a cleat on a cycling shoe and which is rotatably adjustable with respect to said radius; a second protrusion (407) which protrudes from said radius and which overlaps said first protrusion; and a handle (409) which protrudes from said cleat adapter.

A bicycle cleat positioning kit includes a foot locating instrument and a foot measuring instrument. The foot locating instrument includes a foot support surface. The foot measuring instrument includes a foot reference indicator indicative of a foot reference location and a cleat attachment indicator indicative of a cleat attachment location relative to the foot reference indicator.

The invention relates to a one-piece protective toe cap for safety footwear, forming a concave frame consisting of a front wall with connected side walls, the upper edges of which are joined by a concave surface along the profile of the last. The contour or edge of the flange of the toe cap is provided with a recess in order to house a tab and provide comfort, as well as improving the appearance of the footwear (not shown in these documents). The design withstands impact tests of approximately 101.7 to 146.7 Joules (10.4 to 14.95 kgf−m), leaving clearance of approximately 11 mm to 14 mm in the capped shoe and not only at the tip of the cap.
摘要:
A testing and indexing apparatus and method for shoes is disclosed. A block is inserted into the interior of the shoe and clamps the heel portion of the sole fixed flat in relation to a plate. This plate is moved on rails until the ball or widest part of the shoe is set between laterally disposed clamps. The clamps are tightened on the ball of the shoe and the plate is fixed in position on the rails. Both the lateral clamping mechanism and the heel block clamp mechanism are attached to a generally rectangular base, however they are separate and the lateral clamping mechanism is axially rotatable along the axis of the clamped shoe and is attached to a torque wrench type device. Thus the shoe may be twisted axially to a pre-desired point and a reading taken to index the flexibility of the shoe in this dimension. This testing mechanism replicates the type of stress put on the shoe when worn walking or running during the midstance subphase when the entire body's weight is being transferred across the planar surface of the foot. People having foot pain from incorrect strides or faulty pronation in the midstance subphase of gait (at the point when the heel is striking the ground) require a shoe with less flexibility than others. Additionally, the device may be used to both index various brands of shoes in this manner and to determine when an old shoe needs to be replaced.
