Automatic carding machine for uppers including a carriage upholding the upper to be scraped and travelling longitudinally along guides constrained to the top of the machine. The upper sector of the carriage runs on similar guides transversely. The movements can be performed simultaneously by means of independent activation members and the carriage translation speed as well as the upper sector are programmable so that the card can intervene in variable measure on the different peripheral parts of the upper arranged on the carriage. The tool or card automatically reverses its direction of rotation so as to roughen the back of the shoe from the outside toward the inside. |

A shoe support (18) for use in a machine for operating progressively onside wall portions of a lasted shoe upper comprises a last pin (722) and a toe support (792) both of which are movable heightwise to bring a shoe supported thereby to a heel seat height datum and toe end height datum as determined respectively by a holddown (450) and toe abutment (806). Heel end centralizing means (390) and toe end centralizing means (822) are also provided. When the shoe has been properly located the last pin is urged to pivot toewardly thus to cause the last pin to "bind" on the last pin hole formed in the last and, by the counter-force supplied by the toe support (792) the shoe is thus securely clamped on the last pin and toe support, such that as the side wall roughing tool (250) is caused to progress around the side wall portions of the shoe, the toe abutment 806 can be moved to an out-of-the-way position, as the tool approaches the toe end of the shoe, and similarly the holddown and heel end centralizing assembly (780) can be bodily retracted to an out-of-the-way position as the tool approaches the heel end of the shoe. Preferably before the retraction of said assembly (780) the toe abutment (860) is restored to its operative position. |

A machine for progressively roughing marginal portions of shoe bottoms comprising a shoe support (18) having toe support means (470) and a heel support arrangement including two sets of clamps (390, 392), one set (392) of which serves also as sensing means for sensing, by engagement with an off-set portion of the shoe last whether the shoe thus supported is a left or a right. An inductance sensing device (610) associated with the second set of clamps (392) supplies a signal to control means of the machine, the signal being dependent upon whether the shoe is a left or a right. The control means ensures that, in the operation of the machine, a roughing operation is carried out on the shoe bottom in such a manner that the inside waist region of the shoe bottom is traversed always in the same directiion, regardless of whether the shoe is a left or a right (and of course similarly the outside waist region is consistently operated upon). In this way, uniformity of rough as between left and right shoes can be achieved. |

In an integrated system to achieve a number of operations on a footwear upper assembly, an automatic rougher that includes a roughing tool adapted to remove material--and hence rough--the cement margin (or bonding surface) of the footwear upper assembly to provide a cementing surface onto which an outer sole is later applied. The cement margin (or bonding surface), as is known in this art, typically follows a closed-loop path that rapidly changes in all directions of an X-Y-Z coordinate system and the roughing tool must be continuously re-oriented to the many direction changes of the cement margin in order to track the margin. According to the present teaching the upper assembly, and hence the cement margin thereof, is ordinarily moved in rotational movement, rocking movement, transverse translational movement, and, also, vertical translational movement (i.e., movement toward and away from the roughing tool) during the course of roughing. According to the present teaching, real-time data is assembled which may be used to achieve a later operation: e.g., the path of the cement margin is digitized and that digitized information is used to guide a cementer to apply adhesive unto the cement margin to adhere an outer sole to the upper assembly. |

A device for improving the control of the correction movement of the copying roller of a machine for roughening a margin of a tightened shoe upper comprises a holder of the copying roller which is slidably seated in the basic body of a treating head and connected to a motion gear controlled by means of electric circuits according to a selected program. The correction movement of the holder with the copying roller is controlled by electric circuits, which switches, according to the preselection of code switches, the selected combination of electromagnetic valves of distributors of respective pressure cylinders. The sequence of switching of selected combinations of the electromagnetic valves is determined by switching one of two selecting switches, which control the working cycle of the roughening of the lasting margin of the left shoe or the right one. The whole value of the correction movement of the holder results from the sum of movements of pistons of pressure cylinders. The invention may be used in machines for roughening a lasting margin of a tightened shoe upper. |

Apparatus for the combined marginal roughing and toe scouring of shoe bottoms has a shoe support movable in an arcuate path past marginal roughing tools and a scouring tool, the roughing tools being movable widthwise and heightwise of the shoe bottom, and the scouring tool heightwise. All the movements are under the control of n.c. motors. The scouring tool thus follows a pre-determined path, giving enhanced control of the degree of scouring. To assist in accuracy, the shoe support has height datum means which, after use and subsequent to toe support means being locked in adjusted position, are moved out of the way so as not to impede the roughing and scouring. |

A multi-station machine for marginal roughing and toe scouring of shoe bottoms has a turret arrangement, carrying a plurality of shoe supports. At a marginal roughing station two rotary roughing tools operate along opposite marginal portions, during movement of the tools lengthwise of the shoe bottom respectively in a first and a return direction, the shoe support being movable heightwise and widthwise of the shoe bottom so that each tool follows the shoe bottom margin contour. The tools can also pivot about a horizontal axis to maintain their plane normal to the shoe bottom portion being operated upon. In-machine brush grinding is provided, using rotating stones, the speed of rotation being about twice that of the roughing brushes, and the direction of rotation such that the peripheries of stone and brush, at the point of contact, move in the same direction. At a toe scouring station a single abrasive roll is movable lengthwise and heightwise of the shoe bottom under the control of a cam the angular disposition of which is set according to the shoe bottom contour. For controlling the movements of both the tools and shoe support at the marginal roughing station, servomotors are provided under the control of computer control means which supplies control signals thereto in accordance with a programmed instruction. |
