Abstract
A method for assembling shoe components includes the steps of: providing at least two shoe components, a shoe last and a film unit; placing the at least two shoe components on an outer surface of the shoe last; removably covering an assembly of the at least two shoe components and the shoe last with the film unit such that the film unit and the shoe last cooperatively define a confining space therebetween; and pumping air out of the confining space and heating the at least two shoe components to shrink and deform the film unit so as to press the at least two shoe components to adhere tightly to each other.
Claims11
A method for assembling shoe components, comprising:
- providing at least two shoe components, a shoe last and a film unit, at least one of the at least two shoe components having an adhesive layer;
- placing the at least two shoe components on an outer surface of the shoe last;
- removably covering an assembly of the at least two shoe components and the shoe last with the film unit such that the film unit and the shoe last cooperatively define a confining space therebetween;
- and
- pumping air out of the confining space and heating the at least two shoe components to shrink and deform the film unit so as to press the at least two shoe components to adhere tightly to each other.
An apparatus for assembling at least two shoe components comprising:
- a shoe last having a shoe last body for placing of the at least two shoe components on an outer surface thereof;
- a film unit for removably covering an assembly of said shoe last and the at least two shoe components, said film unit cooperating with said shoe last to define a confining space therebetween;
- a vacuum unit for pumping air out of said confining space to shrink and deform said film unit for pressing the at least two shoe components tightly to each other;
- and
- a heating unit for heating the at least two shoe components so as to adhere the at least two shoe components tightly to each other.
