Abstract
A process for carrying out the buffing of the upper sole of shoes wherein said buffing is effected by a sequence of passages of a buffing tool, wherein each buffing passage effects the machining of an elemental area of the sole of the upper, said sequence of passages being so arranged that a peripheral overlapping of the single buffed elemental areas will be obtained, so as to obtain a uniform buffing of the entire sole of an upper of a shoe.
Claims3
An apparatus for buffing the soles of shoe uppers, comprising a continuously movable annular element for supporting lasts on which are fixed the shoe uppers to be buffed, a multiplicity of buffing machines bridging said annular element, each such buffing machine being arranged for buffing a single individual area of the shoe uppers, the longitudinal axes of the lasts on which the uppers are mounted being located concentrically with the annular support element, the number and location of the buffing machines being such that, after the passage of each upper under the said multiplicity of buffing machines, the sole of such upper will be entirely buffed.
