  • Publication number: 20240118073
    Abstract: Manufacturing of a shoe is enhanced by creating 3-D models of shoe parts. For example, a laser beam may be projected onto a shoe-part surface, such that a projected laser line appears on the shoe part. An image of the projected laser line may be analyzed to determine coordinate information, which may be converted into geometric coordinate values usable to create a 3-D model of the shoe part. Once a 3-D model is known and is converted to a coordinate system recognized by shoe-manufacturing tools, certain manufacturing steps may be automated.

  • Patent number: 11953877
    Abstract: Manufacturing of a shoe or a portion of a shoe is enhanced by executing various shoe-manufacturing processes in an automated fashion. For example, information describing a shoe part may be determined, such as an identification, an orientation, a color, a surface topography, an alignment, a size, etc. Based on the information describing the shoe part, automated shoe-manufacturing apparatuses may be instructed to apply various shoe-manufacturing processes to the shoe part, such as a pickup and placement of the shoe part with a pickup tool.

  • Patent number: 9046214
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lift support device, which comprises a vertical frame, a support seat, an elastic mechanism and at least a friction compensating mechanism. A substrate of the vertical frame is installed with a pair of slide rails at two sides opposite to the support seat, the elastic mechanism includes at least a constant-force spring installed between the vertical frame and the support seat; and the friction compensating mechanism includes an adjusting unit installed on the support seat, and the distal end of the adjusting unit faced towards the substrate is connected with an elastic member and a wearing resistant sleeve; when the support seat longitudinally slides between two sides of the vertical frame, the friction between the wearing resistant sleeve and the substrate is additionally increased for compensating the insufficient elastic force or overly-large elastic force provided by the constant-force spring.

  • Patent number: 8763969
    Abstract: The present invention provides a foldable display support, wherein when a support arm is in a standing state, a limiting sheet is located in a limiting part of a screen support rack for blocking, so only the forward/backward tilted angle of a screen can be adjusted, thereby preventing being unstable and falling due to the gravity center being overly backward. When the support arm is folded to a horizontal state, the gravity center is lowered, and a protrusion of a first cam abuts a protrusion of a second cam, such that the second cam axially moves and pushes the limiting sheet to be released from the limiting part of the screen support rack, at this moment, the screen is enabled to be backwardly rotated and folded to a horizontal state for reducing the occupied space, thereby ensuring the folding process to be smooth and stable and preventing from falling.

  • Publication number: 20090158554
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a positioning device for hinge structure, comprising a fixed part, a rotatable part, a pivotal axle, at least an elastic part, a nut, and a cam member. The pivotal axle is passed through the first pivotal portion of the fixed part and the second pivotal portion of the rotatable part to render the rotatable part rotating relative to the fixed part and with respect to the pivotal axle. Consequently, through the rotation of the cam member, the contacts of the first and second contact faces with a pivoting portion is alternated and thus the distance between the contact faces and the pivotal portion is changed, rendering the nut pressing against or relaxing from at least one elastic part. The axial frictional force generated between the fixed part and the rotatable part is therefore changed so as to achieve positioning or rotation of the fixed part and the rotatable part.

  • Patent number: 7506850
    Abstract: A quick-detachable mounting assembly includes a mounting unit formed of a mounting plate for supporting an external member and a coupling plate coupled to the mounting plate, the coupling plate having L-shaped top hooks and a bottom stop flange, and a locking unit formed of a coupling plate hung on the top hooks of the connecting plate and a spring-supported locking bar pivoted to the connecting plate and biasable relative to the connecting plate between the locking position where a backward locking tongue of the locking bar is hooked on a bottom stop flange of the coupling plate and a flat bottom lug of the connecting plate to lock the connecting plate to the coupling plate and the unlocking position where the locking tongue is suspending in one opening at one side of the bottom stop to release the connecting plate from the coupling plate for allowing removal of the connecting plate from the coupling plate.

  • Publication number: 20090031531
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide an arresting device for hinge assembly structure, comprising a fixed part and a movable part assembled together and then connected with the pivot such that the movable part can be rotated with respect to the fixed part; an engagement assembly in which a rotation base disposed with an engagement portion at its outer side is securingly disposed at the outer side of the movable part for the insertion of the pivot, a slide base disposed with a retention portion at its inner side corresponding to the engagement portion is abuttingly connected onto the outer side of the rotation base, also for the insertion of the pivot, and moved integratedly with the rotation base, and a resilient part disposed at the hollow seat chamber between the two bases for the insertion of the pivot; consequently, when the outer side of the slide base is applied with an external force from a compression member, the slide base moves toward the rotation base and compress the resilient part, such that the r
