A printing jig system that includes a maintaining jig able to maintain an article for a first processing step and that is also used to maintain and align the article for a subsequent printing process step. In order to effectively be used for a first processing step and a second printing process step, a support portion supports the article in locations otherwise left unsupported by a processing aperture of the maintaining jig. The processing aperture is configured to facilitate the first processing step, such as steaming of the article. The print support portion is configured to extend through the processing aperture of the maintaining jig The maintaining jig and the print support portion are aligned and maintained relative to each other and a printing machine by a base plate adapted to removeably secure and align the maintaining jig and the print support portion. |

Shoe organization and selection system whereby a person can easily and conveniently find a pair of shoes desired from their closet by selecting the shoe from a computer screen that contains pictures of all of the shoes in the shoe organizer (FIG. 1A), and then the computer will open the appropriate shoe drawer (18) so that the desired shoe can be extracted. The system comprises of a modular shoe organizer rack (FIG. 1A) which will contain the actual shoes, a motorized shoe drawer (18), and a shoe selection console (40), thereby named SSC for short, that will be directly connected to each shoe compartment either wired or wirelessly. The shoe selection console (40) will contain a picture of each shoe (42) contained in the shoe organizer. The pictures will either be a hard copy picture of the shoe which can be slid into the each individual SSC cell (42) (in the case of a push button type console) or it will be an appropriate computer generated picture stored in each cell that will be shown graphically on the SSC. The device is operated as follows. A person wants to grab a pair of red pumps from her closet as quickly as possible. She goes to the SSC and finds the cell containing the picture of the shoe desired. She then selects that shoe by pressing or touching the corresponding cell on the screen. The SSC will then send a signal to the shoe organizer unit (FIG. 1A) to the appropriate shoe compartment (18) programmed for that shoe. It will then activate the motor (50) that will open the shoe compartment (18) and slide the shoe drawer out. The person can now extract the shoes from the compartment. After she extracts the shoes, she taps the extended drawer (18) by pushing it in a little and the reversible motor (50) will automatically slide the drawer back into the shoe organizer. |

A conveyer device includes a number of shafts coupled to a chain, and a number of platforms and beams rotatably coupled to the shafts. A number of springs are engaged on the shafts and are secured to the platforms and the beams for resiliently supporting the beams and for resiliently supporting the shoes between the beams. The beams are moved away from each other against the springs for supporting shoes of different sizes. The springs are not engaged between the beams such that the springs will not engage with the shoes supported between the beams. |

A shoe support for supporting lasts of a wide range of sizes comprises two support members in the form of spaced-apart bars (38) each of which can pivot at an axis (36) extending adjacent an elongated edge of its associated bar so that the distance between the ends of the bars can be varied. Instead of bars (38), plate members (138) may be used, dimensioned so as to provide a substantially continuous support surface, for e.g. shoe components, when pivoted to a horizontal position. For maintaining the support members (38;138) in adjusted position, furthermore, a friction arrangement (40,42; 144,146) is provided. The shoe support is especially suitable for use in a shoe transporter system forming part of a drying apparatus in which the bottoms of shoes and/or shoe components to which a coating of e.g. adhesive has been applied can be supported by the shoe supports with the coated surfaces exposed to turbulent air and heat. |

ADAMIK JAROSLAV F |
Slush-molding apparatus embodying a support for repeatedly intermittently moving a plurality of hollow molds from one station to another along a predetermined path and apparatus at these stations for successively filling the hollow molds with liquid plastic, applying heat to form a gelled layer internally of each mold, discharging the excess liquid plastic, partially curing the residual layer in each mold, and, finally, curing the residual layer. Additionally, there is apparatus for increasing the thickness of the gelled layer in certain areas and for adding plastic to certain areas of the partially cured layer.
