摘要

The machine supports the shoe on the inside and has a pair of clips (2) for holding the toe, in front of the support (1). These are mounted on parallelogram members (10) and are moved by a jack (11). A pressure stop (3) is moved by a jack (13) against the stop (4). Two jacks on either side of the support, press against fabric bands (6). These are joined to springs near the base of the machine and to a central support (9) at the top. They are separated by guides and, near the top, they pass over mobile guides (16), joined to a jack (17).
