Title: Apparatus for footwear
IPC: A43D11/14
Filed: 1975-01-13
Abstract: 1487434 Apparatus for boots SIGMA SpA 13 Jan 1975 [18 Jan 1974] 1419/75 Heading A3B A toe-puff cemented to an upper is softened by placing the upper between two heated plates which can be urged together whilst the upper is simultaneously humidified by an evaporated liquid supplied through passages provided in one of the plates. The upper 63 with its toe-puff therein is placed on the upper curved surface 2 of a plate 1, which is heated by electrical resistors 5 and rigidly fixed to frame 3. A second movable plate 14 has an element 21, heated by electrical resistors 24 attached thereto having a lower curved surface 23 to which is attached a layer 28 of silicon rubber and a layer 30 of compacted porous fibrous material. The heating of the plates is controlled by a thermoregulator (not shown). A sealed chamber 25 is formed between plate 14 and heated element 21 into which water can be fed from reservoir 37 via pneumatic valve 35 and flow regulator 34. The water entering heated chamber 25 when the plates are urged together is converted to steam which passes through passages 27 in element 21, passages 29 in the silicon rubber layer 28 and permeates through fibrous layer 30 to contact and humidify the upper 63. On passage through element 21 and silicon rubber layer 30 the steam is superheated to humidify the upper without wetting. The plate 14 is urged towards plate 1 by activation of pneumatic cylinder 9 rotating lever 6, pivotally connected to plate 14, clockwise about pivot 7 by means of piston 8 pivotally connected to lever 6. Plate I has a hollow portion 4 for accomodating the last (62) to which an upper 63 to be treated, is primed (Fig. 4 not shown). To prevent injury to an operator a safety guard 50 having a transparent portion 52 is provided. When upper 63 is placed on upper surface 2 of plate I the rear part of the upper is pressed on metal strip 39 which activates a pneumatic control device to retract piston 55 of pneumatic cylinder 53 rotating guard 50 in a clockwise direction. When in a 'safe' position (Fig. 2 not shown) a tooth 61 on guard 50 engages microswitch 60 which activates pneumatic cylinder 9 to lower plate 14 and starts feed of water to heated chamber 25. The moving elements could however be operated by mechanical or pressure fluid devices.
