Shoe heel-pressing device

Реферат: A press for attaching soles to shoes has a device for pressing shoe heels mounted thereon. The device comprises a first lever (1) pivotally mounted intermediate its ends, on a pad box of the press such that the first lever affords two oppositely extending lever arm portions of which one carries a conventional felt or similar pad (9) whilst the other is adapted to be forced by the effort of powered actuator means (4) to tend to cause said pad to engage a said shoe heel. A second lever (13) is pivotally mounted intermediate its ends on the first lever. One end of the second lever having a support surface (16) for the lower end of said shoe heel and the other end of the second lever being acted on, in use, by actuator means (25) to tend to cause said support surface to engage said lower end.
