Abstract: 5946. Wade, H., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. March 10. Lasting.-The toe part of the upper of a boot or shoe is moistened preparatory to lasting by being subjected to the action of a current of air and steam. The steam is admitted from a pipe 14 to a chamber 8, whence it passes through a removable nozzle 20 into a casing 2. The nozzle is provided with a number of fine openings disposed fanwise in an horizontal plane so as to direct the steam uniformly through the casing. Air is drawn into the casing by the current of steam through a number of openings 24, leading into an air chamber 10, which connects by an opening around the nozzle 20 with the casing. Plugs may be screwed into any of the openings 24 to control the supply of air. The upper rests on the ribbed upper part of the casing 2, the last resting on a lower shelf 28 and being protected from the moisture by a shield. The mixture of steam and air issues through a narrow slot 22 below the upper. The casing where it supports the upper is maintained cool, by air drawn into the casing by the current of steam, passing through a long narrow slot 30 preferably closed by a wire screen. A drip pipe 26 is fitted to the casing, and a steam trap 18 removes water from the steam pipe.
