Abstract:
An automatic shoe-lacing machine for securing a shoelace onto a shoe upper includes a jig unit, a robotic arm unit and a control unit. The jig unit permits the shoe upper to be disposed thereon. The robotic arm unit is disposed at the proximity of the jig unit. The robotic arm unit simultaneously holds and moves two tipping members of the shoelace for sequentially passing the tipping members through eyelets formed in the shoe upper. The control unit controls the movement of the robotic arm unit.

Claim (Index 5):
The automatic shoe-lacing machine as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said machine vision unit is operable to output a coordinate signal that is related to the position of at least one of the eyelets of the shoe upper, said control unit emitting a drive signal upon reception of the coordinate signal output from said machine vision unit, said upper arm mechanism of said arm module moving said grip modules to a designated position upon reception of the drive signal emitted from said control unit, and then returning a ready signal, said control unit emitting a lacing signal upon reception of the ready signal emitted from said upper arm mechanism, said upper arm mechanism cooperating with said grip modules for operating the shoelace upon reception of the lacing signal emitted from said control unit, and then returning a finish signal to said control unit.
