Abstract: A fabrication last (10) for shoe manufacture on a computer-controlled transfer line comprises a toe part (11) and a heel part (12) which are displaceable relative to one another. The two last parts (11, 12) are held together by means of a lock (20). The latter comprises a flat metal part (21), which is fixed in one of the last parts (12) by means of screws (29), and an elongated hole (22) which extends between the two last parts (11, 12) substantially parallel to the sectional area (13). A stepped bore hole (14), in which a fork (23) is guided, is provided in the other last part (11). This fork (23) comprises a fork head (23.1) whose two sides overlap the flat metal part (21). A transverse pin (24) which engages through the elongated hole (22) and in this way holds together the two last parts (11, 12) is supported in the fork head (23.1). A two-piece receiving plate (30.1, 30.2) serves to fix the last (10) at the work stations of the transfer system.
