Abstract
In a method and device for extracting joint line of shoe, a contact end of a contouring tool is provided to contact a joint contour of a shoe sample, an encoder is provided to generate a plurality of first trajectory coordinate signals of the contact end while the contact end is moved along the joint contour, and a signal processor is provided to receive the first trajectory coordinate signals to create a digital joint line.
Claims18
A method for extracting joint line of shoe comprising the steps of:
- providing a contouring tool including a contact end and at least one first encoder, the contact end is configured to contact a joint contour of a shoe sample, and the at least one first encoder is configured to generate at least one coordinate signal of the contact end;
- placing the shoe sample on a holder;
- copying the joint contour, wherein the contact end is configured to contact a starting point on the joint contour to allow the at least one first encoder to generate a first initial coordinate signal of the contact end, then the contact end is configured to be moved along the joint contour and back to the starting point to allow the at least one first encoder to generate a plurality of first trajectory coordinate signals of the contact end;
- and
- receiving the first initial coordinate signal and the plurality of first trajectory coordinate signals to create a digital joint line by a signal processor.
A device for extracting joint line of shoe comprising:
- a contouring tool including a contact end and at least one first encoder, the contact end is configured to contact a joint contour of a shoe sample, the at least one first encoder is configured to generate at least one coordinate signal of the contact end, wherein the at least one first encoder is configured to generate a first initial coordinate signal of the contact end as the contact end contacts a starting point on the joint contour and configured to generate a plurality of first trajectory coordinate signals of the contact end while the contact end is moved along the joint contour and back to the starting point;
- a holder configured to fix the shoe sample and allow the contact end to be moved along the joint contour;
- and
- a signal processor configured to receive the first initial coordinate signal and the plurality of first trajectory coordinate signals to create a digital joint line.
