ШВЕЙНАЯ МАШИНА С ПОЛОЙ ИГЛОЙ

Номер: RU0000200520U1
Автор: Дубровский Аркадий Вениаминович
Принадлежит: Дубровский Аркадий Вениаминович

Швейная машина с полой иглой сшивает материалы в результате введения в них под давлением текучей быстротвердеющей массы (далее «масса») через полую иглу в момент выхода иглы из проколотых материалов. В корпусе машины имеется емкость с массой, соединенная шлангом с верхним отделом полого цилиндра через входной клапан. Поршень в полом цилиндре соединен с механизмом возвратно-поступательного движения, состоящего из двигателя (электродвигателя или ручного двигателя), вращающего вал с маховиком, соединенного шатунным механизмом с движением поршня. В центре поршня имеется отверстие с выпускным клапаном, соединенным с полой частью штока и полой иглой. При движении поршня вниз полая игла прокалывает сшиваемые материалы, а в полости цилиндра создается вакуум, и масса через впускной клапан заполняет полость цилиндра. При обратном движении поршня в цилиндре давление повышается, впускной клапан закрывается, выпускной клапан в поршне открывается, и масса через выходной клапан в поршне поступает в полую часть штока и в полую иглу, выходящую из тканей. Для регулирования глубины прошивания и расхода массы используется раздвижной шатун, состоящий из двух частей, соединенных регулирующей гайкой. В этом варианте ось головки шатуна может перемещаться по маховику в радиально расположенной в маховике щели. В машине также имеется транспортер, нижняя часть которого в виде валка, соединенного с двигателем, перемещает ткани при прошивании. Верхняя часть транспортера может быть в виде стандартной подпружиненной качающейся лапки или скобы с поворотными дисками. В валке нижней части транспортера предусмотрена канавка, а в лапке или в скобе верхней части транспортера между дисками расположена полусфера с канавкой для затекания в них массы и образования наружной части шва. 8 з.п. ф-лы, 11 ил.

A nozzle dispenses a material, such as an adhesive, primer, paint, or other coating, through a dispensing port on to a substrate. The spray pattern provided by the nozzle defines, at least in part, an application pattern of the material on to the substrate. An air mask port integral with the nozzle or a separate nozzle expels a mask stream of pressurized gas.

Plasma treatment of an elastomeric material for adhesion

Номер: US20180226231A1
Автор: Chun-Wei Huang, Guo-Chang Wang, Jen-Chuan Lin, Pu-Yuan Chang, Su-Wen Kao
Принадлежит: Nike Inc

Elastomeric components, such as a shoe outsole, are treated with a plasma application to clean and activate the elastomeric component. The application of plasma is controlled to achieve a sufficient surface composition change to enhance adhesion characteristics while not adversely physically deforming the elastomeric component. The plasma treatment is applied to increase carbonyl functional group concentrations within an altered region of the elastomeric component to within at least a range of 2%-15% of carbon atomic percentage composition. The cleaning and activation is controlled, in part, by ensuring a defined height offset range is maintained between the elastomeric component and the plasma source by a generated tool path. The elastomeric component may then be adhered, with an adhesive, to another component.

Manufacturing of a shoe or a portion of a shoe is enhanced by executing various shoe-manufacturing processes in an automated manner. For example, shoe parts may be retrieved and temporarily assembled according to preset relative positions to form part stacks. The part stacks may be retrieved with the relative positioning of the shoe parts being maintained and placed at a stitching machine for more permanent attachment via stitching of the parts to form a shoe assembly. Movement during stitching of a conveyance mechanism that transfers the part stack from the stacking surface to the stitching machine and movement of a needle associated with the stitching machine may be controlled by a shared control mechanism such that the movements are synchronized with respect to one another. Vision systems may be leveraged to achieve movement and position information between and at machines and locations. 1. A method for manufacturing shoe parts in an automated manner , the method comprising:situating a part stack comprised of a first shoe part and a base shoe part at a stitching machine, the stitching machine having a needle associated therewith; andstitching together at least part of an overlapping portion of the first shoe part and the base shoe part, wherein movement, by a conveyance mechanism, of the part stack relative to the stitching machine and movement of the needle associated with the stitching machine are controlled by a shared control system such that the respective movements are synchronized.2. The method of further comprising:retrieving the first shoe part utilizing a conveyance mechanism;determining a position of the base shoe part relative to a stacking surface;situating the first shoe part at the stacking surface such that at least a portion of the first shoe part overlaps at least a portion of the base shoe part to form a part stack; andretrieving the part stack from the stacking surface.3. The method of claim 2 , wherein at least part of the portion of the ...
