DEFINITION

Classification: 12/7

(under the class definition) Machines provided with means for operating on a shoe upper mounted on a foot-shaped form to shape the upper to said form and having means, (1) acting on the sole attaching edge of the upper to conform that edge to the sole supporting surface of the form so that a sole may be attached to such conformed edge while the upper is mounted on the form, or (2) acting on the sole attaching edge to conform it to a sole supported on the form, or (3) acting on the sole attaching edge to conform it to a sole supported on the form and securing the sole and upper together.

(1) Note. The term "end lasting" as employed in the titles of subclasses indented hereunder is limited to such lasting of the upper as does not extend rearward of the tip and forwardly of the breast lines respectively. A machine provided with means to last more than those portions, e.g., the heel portion and the shank, will not be included under the subclasses entitled "end lasting only". End lasting machines not specifically provided for in the end lasting subclasses will be found in this subclass. For subclasses specifically directed to end lasting only, see the SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS notes below.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

1+, for machines for assembling rubber uppers with soles which are provided with means for merely wrapping a tacky rubber upper around the form without applying pulling stress thereto to conform it to the form.

4.1+, for machines for lasting shoes provided with means to perform a separate sole operation.

7.4, for machines for end lasting a prewelted upper (specifically directed to end lasting only).

7.8, for machines for end lasting an upper so that an out-turned flange is formed for engagement with the sole (specifically directed to end lasting only.

8.7, for machines for end lasting an upper provided with fastener inserting means for attaching the last upper to the sole and having a nipper which also acts as a wiper (specifically directed to end lasting only.

8.8, for machines for end lasting an upper provided with a nipper which also acts as a wiper (specifically directed to end lasting only).

10.5, for machines for end lasting an upper provided with plural nippers and having a wiper or wipers acting in conjunction with said nippers in the lasting operation (specifically directed to end lasting only).

10.8, for machines for end lasting an upper provided with a single nipper and having a wiper or wipers acting in conjunction with said nipper in the lasting operation (specifically directed to end lasting only).

11.3, for machines for end lasting an upper provided with a nipper which has no wiping function (specifically directed to end lasting only).

12.2, for machines for end lasting the toe portion of an upper and having wiping means for forcing the upper into lasted position and fastener inserting means for securing the upper thus lasted (specifically directed to end lasting only).

12.3, for machines for end lasting the heel portion of an upper and having wiping means for forcing the upper into lasted position and fastener inserting means for securing the upper thus lasted (specifically directed to end lasting only).

12.4, for machines for end lasting the toe portion of an upper and provided with wiping means for forcing the upper into lasted position (specifically directed to end lasting only).

12.5, for machines for end lasting the heel portion of an upper and provided with wiping means for forcing the upper into lasted position (specifically directed to end lasting only).

53.1+, for machines shaping shoe uppers after their attachment to soles.

54.1+, for machines for operating on loose uppers to prepare them for lasting, particularly subclass 54.1 through 54.3 for machines for preshaping the upper to the shape of the last. 107+, for hand manipulable lasting tools.

128+, for forms on which the shoes areassembled.

145, for methods of lasting.
