Word: soleplate Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From sole + plate. 1. The flat metal plate forming the underside of an iron (for ironing laundry). Example: For example, a nonstick soleplate or a control for a burst of steam adds about $2 to an iron's retail price. Example: To clean the soleplate of an iron with a nonstick finish (such as Teflon), spray Shout stain remover on a damp, soft cloth and wipe the bottom of the cool, unplugged iron. 2. A sole (timber). 3. The base timber in the framing for a wall, to which the studs or posts are attached and on which they rest. Example: For a longer wall, secure the soleplate in three places: at least 4 inches and at most 12 inches from each end and in the middle. Using a 1⁄2-inch drill bit, drill through the soleplate. Example: As Figure 5-1 illustrates, the T shore consists of a header to collect the load, a soleplate to distribute the load, wedges to adjust the post tightness, a post to absorb the load from the header and transfer it to the soleplate, two gusset plates to lock the header and post together and stop any shifting from occurring, and a 2 × 4 cleat anchored at the base to keep the wedges in position and lock the post into the soleplate. 4. The back wall of a bucket on a water wheel (which is omitted in certain designs). Example: The principle of the consruction of the buckets is more clearly shown on an enlarged scale in fig. 3, Plate III., the soleplate being abandoned and the bucket plates bent round and prolonged upwards so as to overlap one another, leaving an opening indicated by the arrows for the escape of the inclosed air. Example: As the water enters, the air in the bucket passes out through the opening in the soleplate, as shown by the arrows a, b, and as the bucket rises from the back-water, the air re-enters and prevents the water from rising with it, or, as the millwrights term it, prevents the bucket from sucking. 5. Any baseplate on which machinery rests, especially one to which things are bolted. Example: The various parts of the engine are secured to a casting called the soleplate, which rests on the engine foundation and is securely bolted thereto. Example: The foundation for the engine usually consists of long logs laid fore and aft, two on each side of the soleplate. 6. A flat surface on which the sole of the foot rests. Example: One binding, the Besser soleplate binding, has developed a system that actually can improve skiing performance under the stress of hard skiing. Example: A clinical evaluation was conducted with a supracondylar socket with a Pe-Lite liner, mated to a hollow calf and a keel bonded to the flexible soleplate of an Otto Bock IS19 foot.
