Abstract

The arrangement comprises two or more channels (10) along each of which rod adhesive may be fed. To this end a common feed roller (14) is provided and, for cooperating therewith, for each channel (10) an individual feed or pressure roller (30). The pressure rollers (30) are movable, independently of each other, into and out of an operative position in which they urge the rod adhesive against the feed roller (14). By controlling the movement of the pressure rollers into and out of their operative position, the adhesive feed down each passageway (10) can be individually controlled.

Description

  • This invention is concerned with a rod adhesive feed arrangement comprising a passageway in which a rod of adhesive can be accommodated and be fed therealong, a first feed roller an axis of rotation of which is fixed in relation to said passageway and which has a surface portion projecting into said passageway, a second, cooperating, feed roller having an operative position in which a surface portion thereof projects into the passageway whereby an adhesive rod accommodated in said passageway can be engaged thereby and pressed against the surface portion of the first roller and thus be gripped between the rollers, and drive means for effecting rotation of at least one of the rollers whereby the adhesive rod thus gripped between the rollers is fed along the passageway.
  • One such feed arrangement is described in US-A-3,167,452. In this arrangement, not only the axis of rotation of the first roller but also that of the second are fixed in relation to the passageway so that the second roller permanently projects into the passageway and the adhesive rod is thus permanently gripped between the first and second rollers. In this way, by rotating the rollers the adhesive is progressively fed e.g. to a melt chamber, the pressure of the rod thus being fed serving to drive molten adhesive from the melt chamber to an application point. The particular feed arrangement described in said U.S. specification is for use in a cementing and folding machine, but such feed arrangements also find use in other machines, e.g. lasting machines for use in the manufacture of shoes. Moreover, whereas in a cementing and folding machine in general only one application point is provided, in shoe lasting machines it is often the case that two nozzles operate simultaneously along opposite sides of a shoe bottom, to which end conventionally two passageways are provided with each of which first and second feed rollers are associated, each having a surface portion projecting into such passageway. In general, in such cases, the drive means is common to the driven rollers so that equivalent amounts of rod adhesive are fed along each passageway during the operation of the feed arrangement.
  • In the case of a feed arrangement having a plurality of passageways, therefore, there is noflexibility, in terms of varying the amount of adhesive supplied from one passageway in comparison with that supplied from another because of the common drive means provided for the feed rollers of all the passageways. Whether a single passageway or a plurality of passageways is provided, furthermore,the control of the adhesive feed is dependent upon the starting and stopping of the feed rollers, and on the accuracy thereof.
  • It is thus one of the various objects of the present invention to provide an improved rod adhesive feed arrangement especially, but not exclusively, suitable where a plurality of passageways is provided, wherein greater control of the feeding of the rod adhesive is achieved, and also greater flexibility in such control.
  • This object is resolved in accordance with the present invention, in a rod adhesive feed arrangement as set out in the first paragraph above, in that the second roller is mounted for movement into and out of its operative position, actuator means being provided for effecting such movement in response to a signal generated when adhesive feed is required.
  • It will thus be appreciated that in this way, the control of the feeding of the rod adhesive, in particular the starting and stopping of such feed, can now be achieved by moving the second roller out of pressing engagement with the rod without the necessity of discontinuing the drive to the driven roller(s).
  • In the case moreover where a plurality of passageways is provided, by controlling the movement of each second roller into and out of its operative position, the amount of rod adhesive fed along each passageway can be independently controlled, thus giving rise to greater flexibility in the control of the rod adhesive feed.
  • In one particular embodiment, furthermore, wherein two or more passageways are provided, arranged side-by-side, through each of which a rod of adhesive can be fed as aforesaid, a single first roller is provided, common to all the passageways and extending thereacross, with individual surface portions projecting into each of the passageways, and further each of the passageways has associated therewith an individual second rollertogetherwith individual actuator means for moving said second rollers, independently of each other, into and out of their operative positions.
  • Conveniently in a rod adhesive feed arrangement in accordance with the invention, the or each first roller is rotated by the drive means; if desired, however, the or each second roller may also be driven thereby, synchronously with the or each first roller. Moreover, preferably the driven roller(s) is constantly driven, but it would also be practicable for the drive means to be operated in response to said signal being generated. In such latter case, it will be appreciated, bearing in mind the inertia in the system the drive to the or each roller will be initiated before the or each second roller reaches its operative position.
  • There now follows a detailed description, to be read with reference to the accompanying drawings, of one rod adhesive feed arrangement in accordance with the invention. It will of course be appreciated that this arrangement has been selected for description merely by way of non-limiting example of the invention.
  • In the accompanying drawings:-
    • Figure 1 is a fragmentary side view, partly in section, of the feed arrangement in accordance with the invention; and
    • Figure 2 is an end-on fragmentary view of said arrangement.
  • The feed arrangement now to be described is suitable for use in a machine for lasting shoes, in particular a machine where nozzles are provided for operating progressively along opposite sides of the shoe bottom to apply adhesive thereto, such machines being generally conventional in the art.
  • The feed arrangement in accordance with the invention thus comprises a plurality of (in this case two) passageways 10 in the form of tubes arranged side-by-side and supported in a frame (not shown) of the machine; instead of tubes, the passageways may be provided by mating grooves formed in two metal plates, or indeed any other appropriately dimensioned channelling along which rod adhesive R is able to pass substantially unimpeded.
  • The upper surface of each passageway 10 is provided with an opening 12 through which projects a surface portion of a first, toothed, feed roller 14. As can be seen from Figure 2, the roller 14 extends across both passageways 10 and individual surface portions thereof project through the openings 12 into the respective passageways 10. The first roller 14 is supported at opposite ends thereof in a framework 16 attached to a frame (not shown) of the machine, on a shaft 18 which carries a pulley 20 connected by a belt 22 to an output pulley 24 of a drive motor 26, also mounted on the frame. In the feed arrangement now being described the feed roller is driven constantly, but if desired it may be driven intermittently when there is requirement for adhesive to be supplied.
  • In opposed relationship with each opening 12 is a further opening 28 through which can project a surface portion of a second, cooperating, feed roller 30, the arrangement being such that the adhesive rod R accommodated in any such passageway 10 can thus be engaged by the appropriate second roller 30 and be pressed thereby against the first roller 14, and thus be gripped between the rollers 14,30, the thus gripped rod being fed along the passageway 10 by the rotation of the first roller 14.
  • Each second roller 30 is supported for independent movement into and out of an operative position in which a surface portion thereof projects through the opening 28 as aforesaid. To this end, each roller 30 is carried on a lug 32 of a lever 34 which is pivotally mounted at 36 on a portion of the machine frame. Intermediate the lug 32 and pivot 36, a piston rod 38 of a piston-and-cylinder arrangement 40 is secured to the lever 34, actuation of the piston-and-cylinder arrangement 40 causing the pressure roller 30 to move to its operative position. When the piston-and-cylinder arrangement 40 is de-actuated, the lever 34 drops under gravity, but if desired a spring return may be provided or indeed the arrangement 40 may be double-acting.
  • In the operation of the feed arrangement in accordance with the invention, when a cycle of operation of the machine of which that arrangement forms part is initiated, the actuation of the piston-and-cylinder arrangements 40 is effected in timed relation with the particular operation to be performed by the machine. For example, if it is a question of nozzles operating progressively along the shoe bottom, then an "actuation" signal must be provided to the relevant piston-and-cylinder arrangement 40 in time for adhesive to be delivered to its associated nozzle after the nozzle has been brought into engagement with the shoe but prior to any adhesive-applying movement thereof. Similarly, at the end of the adhesive-applying movement of the nozzle a "de-actuation" signal must be provided to each arrangement 40, said signal being in timed relation with the termination of the operation such that by the time the nozzle has reached the end of its adhesive-applying movement nofurther adhesive is supplied to it; in this way problems arising from any tendency of the adhesive to "drool" from the nozzle can be mitigated or indeed avoided.
  • By the provision of separate piston-and-cylinder arrangements 40 for moving the second rollers 30 independently into and out of their respective operative positions, it will be appreciated, it is also possible to programme each arrangement 40 individually so that for example where it is desired to apply adhesive over a longer path on one side of the shoe bottom than on the other this can now readily be achieved without the need for separate drive means associated with each passageway and indeed while nevertheless utilising a single, common, first feed roller.
  • The feed arrangement in accordance with the invention is particularly suited for use in a machine having electronic control whereby the signals to the piston-and-cylinder arrangements 40 can be electronically generated. In such a situation, furthermore, preferably the motor 26 is an n.c. motor, whereby the amount of adhesive which is fed along the passageways 10 and also the rate at which it is fed can be more accurately controlled. (By the phrase "n.c. motor" as used herein is to be understood a motorthe operation of which is controlled by control signals supplied thereto in accordance with stored information appropriate to a desired operation. Examples of such motors are stepping motors and d.c. servo motors.) Where such a motor, especially a stepping motor is used, furthermore, the pulleys 20,24 and belt 22 are preferably toothed pulleys and a toothed belt.
  • Whereas in the feed arrangement described above a plurality of passageways 10 is provided, it will be appreciated that the invention in its broader aspects is also applicable to an arrangement having a single passageway, the benefits of enhanced control of the adhesive feed being similarly applicable in such case.
