Powder Reinforcing Laminate Apparatus
US Patent:
4681650, Jul 21, 1987
Filed:
Mar 10, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/838086
Inventors:
Robert C. Simmonds - Boxford MA
Douglas H. Crowell - Beverly MA
John F. Martin - Essex MA

Assignee:
USM Corporation - Farmington CT
International Classification:
B32B 3112
US Classification:
156378
Abstract:
A machine for depositing powder in a selected configuration, fusing the configured powder into a laminate and adhering the fused laminate to a shoe substrate. A heater raises the temperature of configured powder to fuse the powder into a laminate. A pair of radially spaced holes extend downwardly through the heater through which a fused laminate underlying the holes can be observed. Configured powder is conveyed past the heater to fuse the configured powder into a fused laminate, and a remote temperature sensor is controllably displaceable from one location to a second location so that the temperature of a fused laminate below either one of said apertures can be sensed. The temperature sensor is secured at either of the two discrete locations, and the holes can be closed by pivotally mounted caps.
Method Of Lasting Shoes
US Patent:
4436771, Mar 13, 1984
Filed:
Mar 2, 1983
Appl. No.:
6/469503
Inventors:
Robert C. Simmonds - Boxford MA
Andrew J. Gilbride - Swampscott MA
Andrew J. Gilbride - Swampscott MA
Assignee:
USM Corporation - Farmington CT
International Classification:
A43D 2900
US Classification:
427284
Abstract:
For applying adhesive, for lasting shoes from the toe end at least over ball region of the shoe, an imprinter plate and nozzles are used, the region in which adhesive is applied by the imprinter plate extending from the toe end of the shoe and lying within, but being substantially smaller than, the region inwiped by the toe wiper plates. The nozzles, which can be guided by computer control means according to the particular style and size of shoe, are thus also used to apply adhesive to the heelward part of the region inwiped by the wiper plates as well as beyond such region. The invention is thus applicable to both combined toe and side lasting operations as well to extended forepart lasting over the ball region of the shoe.
Particulate Polymeric Materials And Methods For Using Particulate Polymeric Materials
US Patent:
4623589, Nov 18, 1986
Filed:
Feb 13, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/699683
Inventors:
Robert C. Simmonds - Boxford MA
Assignee:
USM Corporation - Flemington NJ
International Classification:
B32B 2732
US Classification:
428403
Abstract:
Novel particulate polymeric materials which can be arranged in a predetermined three dimensional pattern in or on a surface, fused and cooled to provide fused, three dimensional polymeric articles. The particulate polymeric materials have the capability to provide a release coating about the fused polymeric article which permits removal of the article from the surface carrying the article.
