Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for sterilizing footwear by heat and ultraviolet rays are described. Such a method is characterized by comprising a first step wherein the footwear are carried from the entrance to the exit of the sterilization chamber, or chambers, by a carrying device, and a second step of sterilizing the footwear by heat and ultraviolet rays inside the sterilization chamber, or chambers. Preferably the sterilizing step comprises a first sterilizing step by heat only and a subsequent sterilizing step by ultraviolet rays only inside two distinct and preferably reciprocally in succession sterilization chambers.
Abstract:
Apparatus for pre-assembling and assembling an upper on a shoe last, of the type provided with a base for said shoe last and a plurality of pincers (3, 4a, 4b, 5a, 6a, 7a, 5b, 6b, 7b) disposed around said base, as well as means for translationally operating the plurality of pincers relatively to the base, or vice versa, in a direction transversal to the bearing plane of the shoe last, the afore said plurality of pincers comprising at least one central pincer (3) for the toe of the upper and, in every shoe last side, a first assembly of pincers (4a, 4b) proximal to said central pincer and a second assembly of distal (5a, 6a, 7a; 5b, 6b, 7b) pincers, said first and second assembly being constrained to supporting movable elements, in turn mounted on a respective trolley (9a; 9b) operated by first means (13a; 13b) for the translationally and/or rotationally handling over a plane substantially parallel to the afore said bearing plane of the shoe last. The afore said supporting elements comprise a first rest (10a; 10b) for the first assembly of proximal pincers, as well as a second rest (l l a; l i b) for the second assembly of distal pincers, said first and said second rest being kinematically constrained (25, 26, 29) one to each other and operated relatively to the afore said trolley by second means (14a; 14b) for the rotationally and/or translationally handling.
Abstract:
A method for assembling an upper (11) of a footwear, comprising the step a) of adapting at least one portion of the toe (11a) of the upper (11) on a shoe last (12), from the toe cap (12a) of said shoe last (12) to at least part of at least one side portion (12b) of said shoe last (12), characterized in that said step a) comprises the step of b) dragging rollingly over the outer surface (11 b) of said at least one portion of the toe (11a) of said upper (11) at least one roller (15), pressing said outer surface (11 b) of said upper, from the toe cap (12a) of said shoe last (12) to at least part of said at least one side portion (12b) of said shoe last (12).
Abstract:
An equipment (1; 101) for ironing at least one shoe (2), or a part thereof, of the type comprising at least one device (3, 4, 5, 6; 103) for ironing the leather, which is provided with means (3, 5, 6; 103) for delivering hot air, optionally humidified, and/or steam to said shoe, or a part thereof. The equipment also comprises, in combination with said ironing device, means (7, 8, 9; 107, 108) for blow striking this shoe, or a part thereof.
Abstract:
Conveyor device (2) for shoes (10; 110) in an apparatus (1) for thermal treatment, comprising at least one movable transport element (5) for one or more of said shoes. The moving element (5) comprises at least one thermally insulating support (3) on which at least one portion of at least one of the shoes rests, and means (4, 6, 7, 8, 9; 111, 112, 113) to constrain the shoe in stable engagement with said thermally insulated support, said means (4, 6, 7, 8, 9; 111, 112, 113) being shaped to engage with said portion of at least one shoe resting on the thermally insulating support, without interfering with other outer portions of the shoe not resting on said thermally insulating support.
Abstract:
Semiautomatic machine for manually assembling and pounding ending edges of the toe of a footwear in progress, comprising means for delivering gluing material, an assembling and pounding roll and means for rotating the assembling and pounding roll.
