DEFINITION

Classification: 12/33

(under subclass 17) Machines provided with means for (1) placing an outsole on an insole which has an upper lasted thereto, (2) placing, with or without securing, such outsole on such insole and applying forces to conform (level) it to shape, or (3) applying forces on such outsole after its securement to the insole to conform (level) it to shape.

(1) Note. The machines generally apply force by reciprocating the pressing mechanism. However, the force may be applied progressively over the outsole or by percussive means. Where the force is applied progressively over the shoe bottom (a) see this class, subclass 34 where the force applying means is a rotating roll, (b) subclasses 33.7 and 33.8 where the force applying means is an oscillatable former which has a rolling contact with the outsole and (c) subclass 35.5 where the force applying means is a tool which conforms the outsole by a wiping action. Where the force is applied by a percussive action see this class, subclass 35.5.

4.2, for machines adapted to conform an upper to a foot shaped form or last and to attach an insole thereto and, additionally, to lay or level an outsole on the lasted upper.

7+, for machines adapted to conform an upper to a foot shaped form or last and to attach thereto a sole which may be an outsole.

16.4, for machines for laying a portion of an outsole on a heel breast.

33.7, for oscillating formers and see (1) Note above. 33.8, for oscillating shoe supports and formers and see (1) Note above.

34, for rotating rollers for applying laying and leveling pressure, and see (1) Note above.

35.5, for percussive tools and wipers used in laying and leveling and see (1) Note above.

36+, for multiple laying or leveling devices of the type which would be classifiable, per se, in Class 12, subclass 33.
