81 | Heat setting apparatus | US3744073D | 1972-01-13 | US3744073A | 1973-07-10 | NELSON G; BOOMERS J; EGTVEDT R |
Apparatus for heat setting shoe uppers to conform to a shoe last in a heating chamber by means of direct and indirect radiant energy. Reflective triangular shaped guide ways extend along the length of a conveyor upon which lasts and uppers are transported to provide for both direct and indirect radiation of the energy to the shoes carried on the conveyor. The energy source is positioned above the conveyor to direct the rays downwardly toward the top of the shoe, providing the direct radiation while at the same time the reflected or indirect radiation from the reflective guide ways acts upon the sides of the shoe.

Assemblies and methods for drying apparel, for example, footwear or gloves, are provided. The assemblies include a panel; projections or pegs pivotally mounted to the panel, the projections each having an inlet, an outlet, an internal passage communicating the inlet to the outlet, and the projections can be oriented in a position adapted to receive the apparel; and a source of air having an outlet in fluid communication with the inlets of the projections. The air, for example, from a fan, passes into the inlets of the projections, through the internal passages, and out of the outlets to contact and dry the apparel mounted on the projections. The methods may include heating the air to enhance the drying. Projection modules that can be pivotally mounted to extend and retract into the panel are also disclosed. The retracted projection may be flush with the panel when not in use. | ||||||
86 | Energy Efficient Infrared Oven With Air Circulation | US15627002 | 2017-06-19 | US20170360157A1 | 2017-12-21 | Patrick Regan; Shih-Yuan Wu; Geoffrey Nichols; Yu-Shu Hsiao; Min Chuan Chang; Chang Min-Li |
An oven may facilitate heating, curing, and/or drying processes for manufactured items, such as shoe parts, using multiple groups of infrared sources. Efficiencies of the oven are achieved through a deliberate airflow characteristic, which is accomplished with a configuration of apertures extending through a circulation plate. A higher concentration of apertures is formed in the circulation plate near a center zone relative to zones near an entrance and exit to the oven. Further, the shape of the apertures in the circulation plate aid in improved airflow within the oven. | ||||||

A system for custom fitting athletic shoes to an individual wearer includes a foot measurement device, an adjustable footform and an infrared activation chamber. Shoes of a single width for each length size have at least a portion of the upper made of heat malleable material to be custom fitted for width. Foot measurement data is used to calculate length size, width size and a number of custom adjustment factors. After the length size is calculated, the appropriately sized shoe and last are assembled together and subject to infrared radiation until the heat malleable material becomes plastic. Adjustments are then made to the last in accordance with the adjustment factors to provide custom width sizing. After further heat treatment to set the shoe upper and cooling, the shoe is complete. In this manner, if used in a retail setting, shoes are custom fitted to the wearer in a matter of minutes. | ||||||

94 | Environmental protection compliant, higher productivity footwear vacuum dryer and conveyance apparatus | US09385684 | 1999-08-30 | US06289604B1 | 2001-09-18 | Liang-Tsuen Chang |
An environmental protection compliant, higher productivity footwear vacuum dryer and conveyance apparatus having a conveyor belt on which is disposed a plurality of footwear placement rod support and footwear placement tray units that convey the footwear sole and upper covering. The conveyor belt moves past one or more heating boxes and vacuum activation boxes and is accessible at intervals between the adjoining heating box and vacuum activation box. Inside the vacuum activation boxes, moisture content is evacuated and footwear of different materials are warmed by radiated heat, preventing damage to the footwear, while also activating the adhesive applied on the footwear to facilitate adhesion between the sole and upper covering of the footwear. The adhesive fumes generated by heating process are drawn into air intake ports along the two sides of the conveyor belt and pass through a pipeline into the intake ports of an air baffling and convergence flow distribution system to recycle the adhesive fumes accumulated in the heating device to minimize adhesive vapor emanations. | ||||||
