Abstract: The present application for patent of invention refers to an industrial thermoplastic adhesive applicator, having portable and hand-held characteristics, being essentially comprised of a central heating and cooling control unit (1) of the hand-held applicator per se (3), which is housed in said heating and cooling unit (1), at least one hand-held applicator (3) being envisaged in each said unit. The invention pertains to the segment of the industry of thermoplastic adhesives, particularly for leather, rubber, fabrics, synthetic laminates, paper and cardboard, wood, metal and the like. The present invention refers to the constructive form of a hand-held applicator of thermoplastic adhesives, portable, cordless, the design of which was developed to handle like a pencil or marker or writing pen, with a broad degree of freedom of movement when applying adhesives.

Abstract: This is a patent application for an X stitching method, specifically intended for the assembly of uppers by the system known as tied string—stringlaster, with particular application in the footwear segment. The invention includes application to an upper (1), for full assembly of shoes, using string traction (2) as the responsible element for closing the edges of this upper (1), against the mold (3); with the overlock type stitching hereby used as an example of realization.

Abstract: The present application for Patent of Invention describes a strand guide module which enables the use of locks to be fully eliminated for adjusting the waist, considerably improving the quality and comfort of the footwear, besides economizing raw materials and improving productivity. The purpose of the object of the invention is to allow for longitudinal, latitudinal and angular adjustment of the pulling vector of the strands, particularly the longitudinal positional adjustment along the last (F), including modularity characteristics.

Abstract: A shoe upper mounting machine with a string lasting means is designed for mounting a shoe upper using a string lasting means for the footwear mounting sector with high-productivity, using the string lasting method of sewing the edges with a lasting string. The invention includes the use of this technology in footwear models which are normally excluded because they have sturdy, not flexible shoe uppers which are difficult to conform using string lasting. It is sufficient to provide a shoe upper with new dimensions suitable for this mounting technology. The machine is capable of lasting any string and adjusting any shoe upper to the form, provided these materials conform with acceptable quality standards for footwear components. The invention is characterized by a module (3) for fitting shoe uppers onto the form (F), a string lasting module (4), and optionally a module (5) for coupling and uncoupling the couplable footwear form.
