摘要:
An electromagnetic cutting apparatus for cutting binding tape sewn to the upper and side edges of shoe upper components at the leading and trailing edges of the components includes an electromagnetically operated plunger with a self-adjusting blade on the bottom end thereof, photoelectric sensors for detecting the leading and trailing edges of the components, and an electronic circuit for rapidly charging a coil surrounding a core on the plunger for driving the plunger and blade downwardly to cut the tape. Condensers in the electronic circuit are normally charged and, in response to signals from the photoelectric sensors, instantaneously discharge into the coil to actuate the plunger, which after cutting the tape is returned to a rest position by a helical spring mounted on the plunger.
摘要:
A method of shoe manufacture involving welding together component parts of a blank and subsequently preforming and finishing. In one form the lining is joined to the outer by a tear-seal weld extending along the top line so that at least some lining extends unbroken across the weld line to permit preforming, the waste material being subsequently torn away. Another feature involves joining an insole portion to an outer portion, preforming and removing a gusset from the insole so as to give to the insole the requisite shape and area of a finished shoe insole. Lasting procedures are reduced and closing shop operations performed upon the flat blank before preforming.
