1. In a shoe lasting machine, the provision of apparatus for applying adhesive to a sole which is secured face down on a shoe last, said apparatus comprising an open-top container for adhesive, a form piece approximately corresponding to the shape of the sole, and means adapted to move said form piece carrying a charge of ad hesive picked up from the supply thereof in the container out of said container and to press it against the sole secured to the last, said means for moving said form piece comprising a linkage on which the form piece is pivotally mounted, and an operating rod attached to said linkage and adapted for imparting swinging movement to said linkage to move the form piece between a rest position within the container and a position in which it contacts said sole to transfer thereto the charge of adhesive collected from the container, said linkage comprising a lever to which said form piece is detachably connected, and arms extending from the lever, said arms being constructed of spring steel so that the linkage can be removed from said form by merely pressing the arms together.2. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said means for moving said form piece comprises a cylinder and a piston slidable in said cylinder under the action of pressure fluid which can be supplied to and withdrawn from the cylinder, said operating rod being coupled to the piston for movement therewith.3. Apparatus according to claim 1, in which both the container and the form piece are substantially of horseshoe shape.4. In a shoe lasting machine, the provision of apparatus for applying adhesive to a sole which is secured face down on a shoe last, said apparatus comprising an open top container for adhesive, a form piece adapted to be supported within the container, said form piece and container having corresponding horseshoe shapes, means coupled to said form piece to move the same and adhesive therewith from the container to a position in which the form piece is pressed against the sole secured to the last, the latter said means passing through the open top of the container and engaging the form piece to raise and lower the same, and support means supporting said last and including a support member which freely passes through the container and is surrounded by the form piece and container.
