Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
An apparatus for spraying liquid adhesive onto an outsole, comprising: a support; a platen mounted on said support for supporting an outsole; a movable member mounted on said support; drive means on said support operatively connected to said movable member for reciprocating said movable member on said support between an operative position and an inoperative position; adhesive spray means rotatably mounted on said movable member for directing a liquid adhesive toward said platen in the operative position; motive means mounted on said movable member and operatively connected to said adhesive spray means for rotating said spray means about a vertically extending axis during the operative position; a liquid adhesive supply means; and pump means operatively interconnecting said liquid adhesive supply means and said spray means for pumping liquid adhesive from said supply means to said spray means for spraying an outsole located on said platen.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
145 words
An apparatus for spraying liquid adhesive onto an outsole, comprising: a support; a platen mounted on said support for supporting an outsole; a movable member mounted on said support; drive means on said support operatively connected to said movable member for reciprocating said movable member on said support between an operative position and an inoperative position; adhesive spray means rotatably mounted on said movable member for directing a liquid adhesive toward said platen in the operative position; motive means mounted on said movable member and operatively connected to said adhesive spray means for rotating said spray means about a vertically extending axis during the operative position; a liquid adhesive supply means; and pump means operatively interconnecting said liquid adhesive supply means and said spray means for pumping liquid adhesive from said supply means to said spray means for spraying an outsole located on said platen.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
An apparatus for spraying liquid adhesive as set forth in claim 1 wherein said adhesive spray means comprises a rotating spindle connected to a pair of laterally extending tubular arms, spray nozzles mounted on the outermost end portion of said tubular arms thereof directed inwardly and downwardly of said rotating spindle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
70 words
The apparatus for spraying liquid adhesive as set forth in claim 2 wherein said rotating spindle has a central axis of rotation, and said spray nozzles are projected outwardly away from said axis of rotation so that said spray nozzle is projected on a horizontally disposed plane which is normal to said vertically extending axis so as to compensate for wind resistance created by counterclockwise rotation of said spray means.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
170 words
An apparatus for spraying liquid adhesive onto the upper and peripheral surfaces of molded outsoles, comprising: a support; a platen mounted on said support for supporting said outsole; a movable member mounted on said support for movement from a first position to a second position; said movable member including a spray hood which encompasses said platen in said second position of said movable member; drive means on said support operatively connected to said movable member for moving said movable member between said first and said second positions; adhesive spray means rotatably mounted on said hood for directing a liquid adhesive toward said platen when said movable member is in the second position; motive means mounted on said hood and operatively connected to said adhesive spray means for rotating said spray means; a liquid adhesive supply means; and pump means operatively interconnecting said liquid adhesive supply means and said spray means for pumping liquid adhesive from said supply means to said spray means for spraying an outsole located on said platen.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
170 words
An apparatus for spraying liquid adhesive onto the upper and peripheral surfaces of molded outsoles, comprising: a support; a platen mounted on said support for supporting said outsole; a movable member mounted on said support for movement from a first position to a second position; said movable member including a spray hood which encompasses said platen in said second position of said movable member; drive means on said support operatively connected to said movable member for moving said movable member between said first and said second positions; adhesive spray means rotatably mounted on said hood for directing a liquid adhesive toward said platen when said movable member is in the second position; motive means mounted on said hood and operatively connected to said adhesive spray means for rotating said spray means; a liquid adhesive supply means; and pump means operatively interconnecting said liquid adhesive supply means and said spray means for pumping liquid adhesive from said supply means to said spray means for spraying an outsole located on said platen.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
The apparatus for spraying liquid adhesive as set forth in claim 4 wherein said hood has a flexible vent means operatively connected to said hood for venting volatile solvent vapors away from the work area enclosed by said hood.
