Specific embodiment

Following discussion and accompanying drawing disclose the article of footwear with the vamp including net materials.Net materials may include tensile cord Element.Article of footwear is disclosed as thering is the ordinary construction being suitable for multiple pursuits.The concept related to footwear (inclusion vamp) Also multiple other athletic footwear styles can be applied to, for example, include spike, basketball shoes, cross-training footwear, bicycle shoes, olive Olive sneakers, tennis shoes, football boot and nailed climbing boots.Concept applies also for being generally considered to be the footwear types of non-athletic, including Dress shoes, slippers, sandals and brogan.Therefore, concept disclosed herein is applied to multiple footwear types.However, net materials can It is used for multiple other products, it may for example comprise knapsack and other bag and clothing (e.g., trousers, shirt, headwear).Therefore, public herein The concept opened can be applicable to multiple product.

Conventional vamp can be formed by various material layers, and it each can give different properties to the zones of different of vamp. In use, vamp can experience significant pulling force, and one or more material layer be positioned in the region of vamp with Opposing pulling force.That is, the specific part that each layer can be incorporated into vamp is produced during the use of footwear with resisting Pulling force.For example, fabric can be incorporated in vamp to give enhanced stretch resistance in a longitudinal direction.Such fabric can be, For example, the braided fabric being formed by the yarn of intertexture at right angles to each other.If braided fabric is for the purpose of longitudinal stretching resistance And be incorporated in vamp, then the yarn only orienting in a longitudinal direction will be helpful to longitudinal stretching resistance, and with vertical Longitudinal stretching resistance typically will not be contributed to the orthogonal directed yarn in direction.Therefore, approximately half of in braided fabric Yarn is unnecessary for longitudinal stretching resistance.

As the extension of this example, in the zones of different of vamp, the degree of required enhanced stretch resistance can change. The enhanced stretch resistance that some regions of vamp need relative high degree by these region power being stood, and its of vamp Its region may need relatively low degree of enhanced stretch resistance.Because braided fabric can need high level enhanced stretch resistance and low degree Used in the region of both enhanced stretch resistance, so some in the yarn in braided fabric may need the stretching of low degree It is unnecessary in the region of resistance.In this illustration it is not necessary to yarn increased the total quality of footwear, without increasing Plus the favorable property to footwear.Similar concept is applied to other materials, such as leather and polymer sheet, and these other materials can For wearability, flexibility, breathability, buffer and one or more of perspire.

Based on described above, it is likely to be of not notable tribute for the material in the conventional vamp being formed by multilayer material layer Offer the desirable properties in vamp but increase the unnecessary portion of the overall weight of article of footwear.With regard to enhanced stretch resistance, for example, layer Can have a material giving following property, (a) large number of enhanced stretch resistance direction, or (b) is than needing or desired big The enhanced stretch resistance of degree.Therefore, the unnecessary portion of these materials can increase the total quality of footwear without contributing favorably Property.

A kind of method solving these problems is that tension kind of thread elements is attached in vamp to provide intensity to vamp and to draw Stretch resistance.U. S. application the 12/362,371st that the use of such tension kind of thread elements was submitted on January 29th, such as 2009, The U. S. application the 12/419th that the U. S. application the 12/419,985th of on April 7th, 2009 submission, on April 7th, 2009 submit to, No. 987, the U. S. application the submitted to for 24th of the U. S. application the 12/546,017th submitted to for 24th of August in 2009, August in 2009 No. 12/546,019, U.S. of submitting to of the U. S. application the 12/546,022nd submitted to for 24th of August in 2009, on July 30th, 2010 Discussion in the U. S. application the 13/196th, 365 that state applies for the 12/847th, No. 836 and August in 2011 is submitted on the 2nd, its respective evidence This is incorporated to entire contents by reference.

Conventional tension kind of thread elements includes thering is relatively high-tensile line.Return to the example of Figure 24, the tension of routine Kind of thread elements 40 may include has relatively high-tensile line 34, and described line 34 strengthens the enhanced stretch resistance of kind of thread elements 40.Tensile cord Element 40 can be incorporated into strengthen intensity and to give vamp enhanced stretch resistance in the layer of vamp, simultaneously because tension kind of thread elements The elongated and shape of opposite, narrow and utilize less material.

In order to keep the position of line, line can be positioned at for making line be held in place by for conventional tension kind of thread elements Between bi-material, covering or layer.The example of such material, covering or layer was submitted on January 29th, such as 2009 U. S. application the 12/362,371st, the U. S. application the 12/419,985th of on April 7th, 2009 submission, on April 7th, 2009 The U. S. application that the U. S. application the 12/419,987th submitted to, August in 2009 are submitted on the 24th No. 12/546,017,2009 The U. S. application the 12/546,019th of August submission on the 24th, the U. S. application the 12/546,022nd of August in 2009 submission on the 24th Number, the U. S. application the 13/th submitted to for 2nd of the U. S. application the 12/847,836th submitted to of on July 30th, 2010 and August in 2011 Discuss in 196, No. 365, it is each incorporated to entire contents accordingly by way of reference.Return to Figure 25, it is the anti-of Figure 24 The zoomed-in view in the region 25 of bracing wire element 40, tension kind of thread elements 40 may include basal layer 41 and cover layer 42, its center line 34 quilt It is positioned between basal layer 41 and cover layer 42.Figure 26 shows the exploded view of the embodiment of Figure 25 and also illustrates line 34 How to be positioned between basal layer 41 and cover layer 42.Line 34 can extend parallel to the surface of basal layer 41 and cover layer 42.By In the surface being arranged essentially parallel to basal layer 41 and cover layer 42, line 34 is resisted on the surface pair with basal layer 41 and cover layer 42 The stretching on direction answered.

Line 34 can be formed by any general one-dimensional material.As with regard to used in the present invention, term " one-dimensional material " or Its deformation is intended to including generally oblong material, and it shows substantially big than width and thickness length.Correspondingly, it is suitable for The material of line 34 includes (e.g., right by artificial silk, nylon, polyester, polyacrylic, silk, cotton, carbon, glass, aromatic polyamides Position aramid fibre and meta-aramid fiber), ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, liquid crystal polymer, copper, aluminum and steel shape Various silks, fiber, yarn, thread, cable or the rope becoming.Such material can provide relatively high tensile strength, its enhancing The enhanced stretch resistance of the material that line 34 is incorporated in.Silk has uncertain length and may be used alone as line 34, and Fiber has relatively short length and is commonly subjected to spinning process or twisting process to produce the line of appropriate length.

Can be formed or (that is, double by multiple material by homogenous material (that is, one-component silk) for the single silk in line 34 Group sub-wire) formed.Similarly, different silks can be formed by different materials.For example, the yarn as line 34 may include each freedom The silk that common material is formed, it may include the silk that two or more different materials of each freedom are formed, or may include each freedom two Kind or the silk of more kinds of different materials formation.Similar concept is also applied to thread, cable or rope.The thickness of line 34 also can be For example from 0.03 millimeter to the scope significant changes more than 5 millimeters.Although one-dimensional material could generally have width and thickness is basic Upper equal cross section (e.g., circular or foursquare cross section), but some one-dimensional materials can have the width more than thickness (e.g., rectangle, ellipse, or other elongated cross section).

Line can be used for changing the property of the article of footwear in addition to enhanced stretch resistance.For example, line can be used in vamp Extra wearability is provided in specific region.For example, line can be concentrated in the region of the experience abrasion of vamp, such as in vamp Concentrate in footwear front area and at adjacent sole structure.If being used for wearability, line is selected from assuming relatively high wearability The material of matter.Line may be additionally used for changing the bending features of vamp.For example, the region with the line of relatively high concentration may be than tool There is the less degree of the region bends of the line of relatively low concentration.Similarly, the region with the line of relatively high concentration may be than tool There is the breathability in the region of the line of relatively low concentration little.Additionally, line can be used for vamp being connected or attached to footwear sole construction, simultaneously Using the weight lighter than conventional upper, described conventional upper is using the leather being for example connected to footwear sole construction or other fabric panel. Line also can strengthen this connection between vamp and footwear sole construction.

Footwear sole construction can be fixed in the low portion of vamp to be positioned between foot and ground.In sport footwear In, for example, footwear sole construction includes midsole and footwear outer bottom.Midsole can be formed by polymer foams, described polymerization Thing foamed materialss weaken the ground reaction force (that is, providing buffering) during walking, running and other locomotor activity.Sole Interlayer may also include fluid-filled chamber, plate, actuator, or the fortune for example weakening power, enhanced stability or impact foot further Dynamic other elements.Footwear outer bottom forms the ground-contacting elements of footwear and generally by inclusion texture to give the resistance to of attachment frictional force With and wear-resisting elastomeric material formed.Footwear sole construction may also include and is positioned in vamp and presses close to the lower surface of foot to strengthen footwear The shoe pad of the comfort level of class.

In conventional design, tension kind of thread elements can provide as single element, such as single silk, yarn or line, its On the top of the basal layer being placed on vamp.In order to ensure tension kind of thread elements is held in place by, articulamentum or other solid Determine element tension kind of thread elements can be combined, fix or be otherwise connected to basal layer.According to an example, thermoplastic poly The piece of compound can be located between line and basal layer and is heated to combine line and basal layer.Shown according to another Example, connecting element or retaining element can be piece or the fabrics of thermoplastic polymer, and for example, it extends online and on basal layer So that line and basal layer to be combined.A part for the such outer surface that again can be used as forming vamp or exposed surface The group of cover layer, wherein basal layer, line and emulsion sheet is combined in the substantially all of the thickness providing vamp in some regions.Another In one example, connecting element or other retaining element can be the binding agents combining line and basal layer.In other In example, extra single thread is sewn on online so that tension kind of thread elements is fixed to basal layer.Therefore, Duo Zhongjie Structure and method can be used for for line being fixed to following basal layer.

Although the tension kind of thread elements of routine provides the performance of high level, such as, by strengthening the enhanced stretch resistance of vamp, The method being used for that tension kind of thread elements is attached in vamp can provide for fashion the and exhilarating footwear of some purposes Class article.For example, by joint line 34 between basal layer 41 and cover layer 42, produce with high-performance and use for motion Way but be not necessarily used for lie fallow purposes style article of footwear.Would be desirable to a kind of article of footwear of offer, it provides high property Can level, but for multiple use (such as Sport Utility and leisure both purposes) be also fashion and make us happy 's.

According to embodiment, line can be incorporated in net materials.Net materials may include high-tensile line and do not have height The combination of the non-high-tensile line of tensile strength.For example, there is no high-tensile line to intersect with high-tensile line. Including the pattern of reticule net can advantageously provide make high-tensile line be remained substantially in correct position simultaneously also provide increase The structure of epistasis energy.Therefore, net materials may include high-tensile line, and described high-tensile line strengthens intensity and the stretching of net Resistance, but do not need basal layer and cover layer to maintain the position of high-tensile line.Such net can advantageously be breathed freely And flexibility, but also there is relatively high intensity and limited stretching.Remove and advantageously provide enhanced performance and material Outside saving, net materials may also provide the pattern of fashion.

Fig. 1 shows the net 10 including first group 25 of high-tensile line.According to embodiment, high-tensile line May include different number of tensile strength line for first group 25.Number to the tensile strength line of the high-tensile line options of given group Mesh can desired intensity for example according to net 10 and/or enhanced stretch resistance select.For example, first group 25 of high-tensile line can Including the first high-tensile line 21, the second high-tensile line 22, the 3rd high-tensile line 23 and the 4th high-tensile Line 24 is although first group 25 of high-tensile line may include the high-tensile line of other numbers.High-tensile line is permissible It is made of and line 34 identical form and can be by identical material used in routine tension kind of thread elements 40 discussed above.Example As first group 25 of high-tensile line can be high-tensile nylon.Due to the tensile property of high-tensile line, high First group 25 of tensile strength line can be used for the intensity increasing net 10 and the enhanced stretch resistance strengthening net 10.

Net 10 may include second group 34 of line, and its with high-tensile line first group 25 intersects.According to embodiment, line Second group 34 may include different number of line.For example, the number of the line of second group of 34 selection of line can be selected as providing The line of enough numbers is to intersect with high-tensile line and to make high-tensile line be remained substantially in correct position.For example, May include First Line 31, the second line 32 and the 3rd line 33 for two group 34 although second group of 34 line that may include other numbers.

Line in second group 34 of line can be non-high-tensile line.For example, the line in second group 34 can be with not With form and/or be made up of the material different from the high-tensile line in first group 25.For example, non-high-tensile line, Line in such as second group 34, can be made up of polyester.In another example, non-high-tensile line can be by 60% polyester The mixture of 40% polyester 150D is made.In another example, when net 10 includes high-tensile line and non-high-tensile During line, net 10 can be made from a variety of materials, and these materials can select according to intensity desired to net 10 and enhanced stretch resistance.

Line in second group 34 need not strengthen the intensity of net 10 and enhanced stretch resistance to the enhanced degree of high-tensile line.So And, the line in second group 34 can be intersected with the high-tensile line in first group 25 and provide the high tensile making in first group 25 Intensity line is remained substantially in the web frame of correct position.For example, the line in second group 34 can form and resist with the height in first group 25 The web frame of tensile strength line interlocking, the web frame of described interlocking limit first group 25 in high-tensile line movement.

According to embodiment, net 10 may include multigroup line.For example, net 10 may include first group of 25 He of high-tensile line At least second group 34 of the line intersecting with the high-tensile line in first group 25.In another example, net 10 may include with Multigroup line, such as second group 34 line and the 3rd group of 38 lines that high-tensile line in first group 25 intersects.3rd group of 38 lines can To be substantially the same with those lines in second group 34 or similar.For example, the 3rd group 38 may include First Line 35, second Line 36 and the 3rd line 37 are although the 3rd group 38 may include any number of line.According to an example, second group of 34 line and the 3rd group Line can be repeated along a direction with any number, and described direction is prolonged along the length of the high-tensile line in first group 25 Stretch.This may result in the multigroup line intersecting with the high-tensile line in first group 25 so that this multigroup line is for making first group 25 In high-tensile line be remained substantially in correct position.

According to embodiment, net 10 may include in the side upwardly extending additional set substantially the same with first group 25 of line Line.For example, net 10 may include the 4th group 44 of line and the 5th group 49 of line.The 5th group 49 of the 4th group 44 of line and line can be wrapped Include any number of line.For example, the 4th group 44 of line may include First Line 40, the second line 41, the 3rd line 42 and the 4th line 43, and And the 5th group 49 of line may include First Line 45, the second line 46, the 3rd line 47 and the 4th line 48 although the 4th group 44 and line of line The 5th group 49 may include any number of line.According to embodiment, the line in the line in the 4th group 44 and the 5th group 49 is permissible It is as the line of those lines in second group 34.In such embodiment, line in the 4th group 44, the line in the 5th group 49 and Line in second group 34 can be made up and have identical structure of identical material, the line in wherein the 4th group 44 and the 5th group Line in 49 is intersected with the line in second group 34 to form the web frame of net 10.

According to embodiment, repeat patterns can be provided that, wherein multigroup high-tensile line and multigroup non-high-tensile Line replaces.For example, the line in the line and the 5th group 49 in the 4th group 44 can be first group 25 of high-tensile line appoint Non- high-tensile line on side, wherein multigroup high-tensile line is being substantially perpendicular to multigroup non-high-tensile line On the direction of the longitudinal axis of these lines alternately.According to another embodiment, any one of the 4th group 44 and the 5th group 49 or this Line in both can be substantially the same with those lines in first group 25 or similar high-tensile line.Multigroup line can Desired intensity according to net 10 and enhanced stretch resistance select to include high-tensile line or non-high-tensile line.

According to embodiment, arbitrary group in multigroup line may include high-tensile line and the mixing of non-high-tensile line Thing.Such mixture can select according to the desired intensity of net 10 and enhanced stretch resistance.

According to embodiment, net 10 can be formed by monofilament lines.For example, non-high-tensile line can be formed by monofilament lines, all As the line in second group 34 including non-high-tensile line and other group.

Net 10 can be braided material (woven material) or woven materials (knit material).For example, net 10 Braided material or woven materials can be produced as not only to provide the high performance material with intensity and enhanced stretch resistance, Er Qieti For having the net materials of desired pattern or style.

According to embodiment, net 10 can be braided material, its center line alternately on warp direction and weft direction Over each other and under pass through.For example, the high-tensile line in first group 25 can extend on warp direction, and second group 34 In line can extend on weft direction.For example, the high-tensile line in the line in second group 34 is with first group 25 intersects When, the line in second group 34 can alternately pass through above and below the high-tensile line in first group 25.Such volume The pattern knitting line can provide high-tensile line and non-high-tensile line, and described high-tensile line is used for strengthening web material The intensity of material and enhanced stretch resistance, described non-high-tensile line is used for interlocking with high-tensile line and making high-tensile line It is remained substantially in correct position.

According to another embodiment, net 10 can be woven materials, and its center line is knitted together.For example, first group High-tensile line in 25 can in a first direction along its respective length extend and second group 34 in non-high tensile Intensity line can be intersected with high-tensile line and make the neighbouring high-tensile line in first group 25 knitting each other.Example As the non-high-tensile line in second group 34 can form ring between the First Line 21 in first group 25 and the second line 22, should Ring just First Line 21 and the second line 22 are knitted together.Non- high-tensile line can similarly by other high-tensile lines that This line that is knitting and can making adjacent groups is connected to each other.

Above-mentioned net materials can be included in article of footwear with advantageously provide have strengthen intensity and enhanced stretch resistance but It is that also there is the free article of footwear designing various exhilarating styles.For example, net materials itself can be used for difference Fashion Design be attached to article of footwear.Return to the example of Fig. 2, article of footwear 100 may include vamp 110 and footwear sole construction 120. Fig. 3 shows the view of lateral surface 111 of the footwear 100 of Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 show footwear 100 medial surface 112 view. For the purpose of reference, footwear 100 can be divided into three general areas：Footwear front area 101, footwear central region 102 and heel Region 103, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.Footwear front area 101 generally comprise footwear 100 with there will be toe and be connected metatarsal with The corresponding part of the toe portion 136 in the joint of phalanx.Footwear central region 102 generally comprises the arch of footwear 100 and foot The corresponding part in region, and heel area 103 is corresponding with the rear portion (inclusion calcaneus) of heel portion 138 and foot.
