Title: Improvements in or relating to a process and apparatus for the production of shoes with sponge rubber soles
IPC: B29D35/12
Filed: 1934-10-16
Abstract: 428,585. Moulding rubber-soled footwear. INTERNATIONAL LATEX PROCESSES, Ltd., 10, Lefebvre Street, St. Peter's Port, Guernsey. Oct. 16, 1934, No. 20562. Convention date, March 9. [Class 87 (ii)] [See also Group VII] A sole produced from a foamed aqueous dispersion of or containing rubber is moulded in situ on an upturned insole and upper assembled on a last and the foamed dispersion is then set. The sole thus formed may have secured thereto a layer of sponge or cellular rubber obtained by setting a foamed aqueous dispersion of or containing rubber in a mould. If the shoe upper comprises raw rubber parts, a second vulcanization after the vulcanization of the sole may be made, or this can be avoided if the shoe upper is vulcanized before the sole is stuck on. Preferably, the sole is formed in situ in a two-piece mould which embraces the last in fixed relation thereto. The last 1 is preferably mounted in a frame 6, 7 and supported in fixed relation thereto is a frame-shaped mould 4, the lower part of which is supported on the shoe upper 2 mounted on the last. A whipped aqueous dispersion of or containing rubber is placed in the mould and after setting is vulcanized. The mould 4 is preferably in two parts hinged together to permit the last to be arranged in position and is provided with means for locking the parts in closed position. If desired, the sole may be made in two layers by placing a sole-shaped mould corresponding to a covering part of the sole over the mould 4 in the frame. The thickness of the film covering the sponge may be increased by decreasing the volume of foam produced from a given quantity of dispersion, or by attaching a thin rubber layer thereto, e.g. by applying rubber dispersion by spraying or dipping, or by placing a thin sheet of rubber in the mould. The dispersions used may be in diluted or concentrated, vulcanized or unvulcanized condition. The shoe upper may be of any usual material.

Abstract: 1,235,194. Making poly - gamma - methyl glutamate fibres. AJINOMOTO CO. Inc. 24 June, 1968 [24 June, 1967], No. 29931/68. Heading B5B. [Also in Division C3] Poly - gamma - methyl glutamate filaments of non-circular cross-section are made by adding at least one of the group carbon tetrachloride; 1,1,1 - trichloroethane and ethylene tetrachloride in such proportions as not to cause gelling to a solution of poly - gamma - methyl glutamate in methylene chloride; chloroform; 1,2 - dichloroethane; 1,1,2 - trichloroethane or tetrachloroethane and extruding the resulting mixed solution into a coagulating bath which initially contains a mixture of 10-90% by weight of an aliphatic hydrocarbon component or of a distillate obtained by the fractional distillation of petroleum and having a distillation range within the range of from 80 C. to over 350 C., and at least one of the group carbon tetrachloride; 1,1,1 - trichloroethane and ethylene tetrachloride. The spinneret orifices used preferably have circular cross-sections, but spinnerets having orifices of non-circular crosssection may be used. The mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons used in the coagulating bath may be a petroleum spirit having an initial boiling point not below 80 C., a Kerosine, or a higher boiling fraction also obtained by the fractional distillation of petroleum. The shape of the cross-section of the filaments obtained may be widely varied according to the proportion of the mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons in the coagulating bath. In preparing the spinning solution by adding carbon tetrachloride; 1,1,1 - trichloroethane or ethylene tetrachloride to the solution of the polymer in methylene chloride; chloroform; 1,2 - dichloroethane; 1,1,2- trichloroethane or tetrachloroethane the proportion of the "additive" constituent added to the polymer solution to form the final spinning solution must not be so high as to cause the polymer solution to gel. In the example, ethylene tetrachloride and 1,2 - dichloroethane are gradually added with stirring at 40 C. to a 24À6% solution of the polymer in 1,2 - dichloroethane to prepare a spinning solution containing 35% of ethylene tetrachloride and 10% by weight of the polymer. The solution is extruded through a spinneret having orifices of circular crosssection into a coagulating bath consisting of equal parts by volume of Kerosine and ethylene tetrachloride at a draw-down of 3À0. The filaments are stretched 75% in air.
