Footwear construction

Article of footwear 100 is depicted as including footwear sole construction 110 and vamp 120 in Fig. 1-4C.Although footwear 100 are schemed It is shown as with the general construction for being suitable for running, but a variety of other sport footwears is also applied to 100 relevant concept of footwear Type, it may for example comprise spike, basketball shoes, bicycle shoes, olive sneakers, tennis shoes, football boot, trainer shoe, walking shoes and step on Mountain boots.The concept can also be applied in the footwear types for being typically considered non-athletic, including dress shoes, slippers, sandals and Brogan.It is suitable in a variety of footwear types accordingly, with respect to concept disclosed in footwear 100.

For the purpose of reference, footwear 100 can be divided into three rough regions：Shoes front area 101, shoes central region 102 and heel area 103.Shoes front area 101 generally comprises the pass for corresponding to toe and connecting metatarsal and phalanx of footwear 100 The part of section.Shoes central region 102 generally comprises the part of the arch area corresponding to foot of footwear 100.Heel area 103 Correspond roughly to the rear portion for including calcaneum of foot.

Footwear 100 further include lateral surface 104 and medial surface 105, and lateral surface 104 and medial surface 105 extend through region Each in 101-103, and corresponding to the opposite side of footwear 100.More specifically, lateral surface 104 corresponds to foot The lateral area surface of another foot (that is, away from), and medial surface 105 corresponds to the inside region of foot (that is, towards another The surface of foot).Region 101-103 and side 104-105 is not intended to accurately divide the region of footwear 100.But region 101-103 and side 104-15 is intended to indicate that the approximate region of footwear 100 to contribute to following discussion.Other than footwear 100, Region 101-103 and side 104-105 can also be applied to footwear sole construction 110, vamp 120 and its individual element.

Footwear sole construction 110 is fixed to vamp 120 and extends between foot and ground when footwear 100 are worn.Shoes The main element of bottom structure 110 is midsole 111, footwear outer bottom 112 and insole 113.Midsole 111 is fixed to vamp 120 Lower surface, and can be formed by compressible polymer foam element (for example, polyurethane or ethylvinylacetate foam), In walking, running or other Ambulatory Activities, when compressible polymer foam element is compressed between foot and ground, Its ground reaction force that can decay (that is, buffering is provided).In other construction, midsole 111 can include further to subtract Plate, adjuster, fluid-filled chamber, durable component or the motion control members of the movement of low force, enhancing stability or influence foot, Or midsole 21 can be formed mainly by fluid-filled chamber.Footwear outer bottom 112 is fixed to the lower surface of midsole 111 and can be with By being formed with the wear-resisting rubber material for assigning attachment frictional force with texture.Insole 113 is located in vamp 120 and is positioned in Extend to increase the comfort of footwear 100 under the lower surface of foot.Although footwear sole construction 110 this architecture provides can be with shoes The example for the footwear sole construction that face 120 is used in combination, however can also use for a variety of other conventional or non-of footwear sole construction 110 Conventional construction.Therefore, footwear sole construction 110 or with the feature for any footwear sole construction that vamp 120 is used together can be significantly Variation.

Vamp 120 defines the cavity in footwear 100, which is used to accommodate relative to footwear sole construction 110 and fixed foot. Cavity be configured to adapt to foot and along the lateral surface of foot, along the medial surface of foot, above foot, around heel with And extend below foot.The entrance of cavity is provided by the ankle opening 121 at least heel area 103.Shoestring 122 prolongs Multiple shoestring apertures 123 in vamp 120 are extended through, and wearer is allowed to change the size of vamp 120 to adapt to the big of foot It is small.More specifically, shoestring 122 allows wearer to tense vamp 120 around foot, and shoestring 122 allows wearer to unclamp shoes Face 120 enters cavity in order to foot and is removed (that is, across ankle opening 121) from cavity.In addition, vamp 120 is included in shoes With extension below 122 and shoestring aperture 123 to enhance the flap 124 of the comfort level of footwear 100.In other construction, shoes Face 120 may include other element, such as the heel counter in heel area 103 of (a) enhancing stability, (b) by resistance to Grind the toeguard in shoes front area 101 that material is formed, and (c) mark, trade mark and believe with maintenance instruction and material The brand of breath.

Many routine footwear uppers by for example by suture or in conjunction with by multiple material elements for connecting (for example, fabric, poly- Close object foam, polymer sheet, leather, synthetic leather) it is formed.In contrast, vamp 120 is most of by knitting member 130 It is formed, knitting member 130 passes through each in the 101-103 of region, along both lateral surface 104 and medial surface 105, before shoes On portion region 101, and around the extension of heel area 103.In addition, knitting member 130 forms outer surface and the phase of vamp 120 To both inner surfaces part.Similarly, knitting member 130 defines the cavity in vamp 120 at least partly.In some structures In making, knitting member 130 can also extend below foot.However, with reference to Fig. 4 A-4C, this wound Bell inner sock 125 is fixed To the upper surface of knitting member 130 and midsole 111, to form one extended below insole 113 of vamp 120 Point.

The construction of knitting member

In fig. 5 and fig., it separates to describe knitting member 130 with the rest part of footwear 100.Knitting member 130 is by whole Body knitting structure is formed.As used herein, when being formed as one-piece member by weaving, knitting member is (for example, compile Knit component 130) it is defined as being formed by " integral weaving construction ".That is, weaving is walked in manufacture that need not be significantly other In the case of rapid or technique, the various feature and structure of knitting member 130 are generally formed.Although the part of knitting member 130 Can be connected to each other (for example, the edge of knitting member 130 is joined together) after weaving, but knitting member 130 still keep being formed by integral weaving structure, because it is formed as single-piece knitting element.Moreover, when in weaver Other elements are added (for example, shoestring 122, flap 124, mark, trade mark, the board with operation instruction and material information after skill Son) when, knitting member 130 still keeps being formed by single braiding structure.

The main element of knitting member 130 is knitting element 131 and embedded line 132.Knitting element 131 is by least one yarn Line is formed, at least one yarn by operation (such as using seam loop) with formed define a variety of rows and stringer it is multiple mutually The ring being combined.That is, knitting element 131 has the structure of braided fabric.Embedded line 132 extend through knitting element 131 and It is passed through between various rings in knitting element 131.Although embedded line 132 extends approximately along the row in knitting element 131, But embedded line 132 can also extend along the stringer in knitting element 131.The advantages of embedded line 132 includes providing support, stablizing Property and structure.For example, the embedded help of line 132 fixes vamp 120 around foot, the change being limited in the region of vamp 120 It shape (such as assigning stretch-resistance) and is worked together with shoestring 122 to enhance the adaptability of footwear 100.

Knitting element 131 has sets the big of profile by perimeter edge 133, a pair of of heel edge 134 and internal edge 135 Cause the construction of U-shaped.When being bound in footwear 100, perimeter edge 133 is placed and is connected against the upper surface of midsole 111 It is connected to this wound Bell inner sock 125.Heel edge 134 is connected to each other and vertically extends in heel area 103.In shoes In some constructions of class 100, material elements can cover the seam between heel edge 134 with reinforcement seams and enhance footwear 100 aesthstic attractive force.Internal edge 135 forms ankle opening 121 and extends forwardly into wherein shoestring 122, shoestring aperture 123 and the region that is located at of flap 124.In addition, knitting element 131 has first surface 136 and opposite second surface 137. First surface 136 forms a part for the outer surface of vamp 120, and second surface 137 forms one of the inner surface of vamp 120 Point, to define at least part of the cavity in vamp 120.

Embedded line 132 as mentioned above, extends through knitting element 131 and the various rings in knitting element 131 Between pass through.More specifically, embedded line 132 is located in the braiding structure of knitting element 131, which can have in insertion The construction of single tissue layer in the region of line 132 and between surface 136 and surface 137, as described in Fig. 7 A-7D 's.Therefore, when knitting member 130 is attached in footwear 100, embedded line 132 be located at vamp 120 outer surface and inner surface it Between.In some constructions, the part of embedded line 132 may be visible or be exposed to one in surface 136 and surface 137 Or on two.For example, embedded line 132 can be placed against one in surface 136 and surface 137 or knitting element 131 can shape Its recess or aperture are passed through at embedded line.Embedded advantage of the line 132 between surface 136 and surface 137 is set to be to weave Element 131 makes embedded line 132 from wearing and cutting to pieces broken.

With reference to figure 5 and Fig. 6, embedded line 132 is from perimeter edge 133 towards internal edge 135 and adjacent to a lace hole The side of mouth 123, at least partly around shoestring aperture 123 to opposite side, and repeatedly extends back to perimeter edge 133. When knitting member 130 is attached in footwear 100, knitting element 131 is from the throat region of vamp 120 (that is, shoestring 122, shoestring The position that aperture 123 and flap 124 are located at) lower area of vamp 120 is extended to (that is, knitting element 131 and footwear sole construction 110 positions being connected).In this configuration, embedded line 132 also extends to lower area from throat region.More specifically, embedded Line repeatedly traverses knitting element 131 from throat region to lower area.

Although knitting element 131 can be formed in various ways, the row of braiding structure usually with embedded 132 phase of line Same side upwardly extends.That is, the side that row can extend between throat region and lower area upwardly extends.This Most of row along in knitting element 131 of sample, embedded line 132 extends.However, the region in neighbouring shoestring aperture 123 In, embedded line 132 can also extend along the stringer in knitting element 131.More specifically, embedded line 132 is parallel to internal edges The segment of edge 135 can extend along stringer.

As discussed above, embedded line 132 repeatedly traverses knitting element 131.With reference to figure 5 and Fig. 6, embedded line 132 Also repeatedly leave knitting element 131 at perimeter edge 133, and then at another position of perimeter edge 133 again Into knitting element 131, to form the ring along perimeter edge 133.The advantage of this construction is the manufacture in footwear 100 Each segment of the insertion line 132 extended between throat region and lower area in technical process can independently be tightened up, is loose It opens or is conditioned in other ways.That is, before footwear sole construction 110 is fixed to vamp 120, embedded line 132 Segment can independently be adjusted to tension appropriate.

Compared with knitting element 131, embedded line 132 can be with the stretch-resistance of bigger.That is, embedded line 132 can compare Knitting element 131 stretches few.In view of many segments of embedded line 132 extend to vamp from the throat region of vamp 120 Stretch-resistance is assigned the part between throat region and lower area of vamp 120 by 120 lower area, embedded line 132. Moreover, tension, which is applied on shoestring 122, can assign tension on embedded line 132, so as to cause in throat region and lower area Between vamp 120 part against foot place.In this way, embedded line 132 is worked together with shoestring 122 to enhance footwear 100 grade of fit.

Knitting element 131 can include a plurality of types of yarns for the individual region that different characteristics are assigned to vamp 120.? That is a region of knitting element 131 can be formed by the yarn for assigning the first kind of first group of characteristic, and weave member Another region of part 131 can be formed by the yarn for assigning the Second Type of second group of characteristic.In such configuration, by for volume The different zones for knitting element 131 select specific yarn property that can spread all over the variation of vamp 120.Certain types of yarn will assign Depend on being formed to the characteristic part in the region of knitting element 131 material of various silk threads and fiber in yarn.For example, cotton carries For soft feel, natural aesthetic feeling and biodegradability.Elastic fibers and stretched polyester respectively provide a large amount of draftability and extensive Renaturation, wherein stretched polyester also provide recyclability.Artificial silk provides high glaze and hygroscopicity.Wool is in addition to providing heat-insulated spy Outside property and biodegradability, high hygroscopicity is also provided.Nylon is the durable and wear-resistant material for having relatively high intensity.It is poly- Ester is hydrophobic material, also provides relatively high durability.In addition to the materials, it is 131 selected yarn of knitting element Other aspects can also influence the characteristic of vamp 120.For example, the yarn for forming knitting element 131 can be monofilament yarn or multifilament Yarn.Yarn can also include the silk for the separation that each free different materials are formed.In addition, yarn may include two kinds of each freedom or more The silk that a variety of different materials are formed, such as bi-component yarn, wherein silk have constructed by the core-skin type that different materials are formed or Two halves.Different degrees of distortion and crimping and different daniers can also influence the characteristic of vamp 120.Correspondingly, Ke Yixuan The other aspects of shape-selective material and yarn at yarn are to assign various characteristics the different zones of vamp 120.

As the yarn for forming knitting element 131, the construction of embedded line 132 can also significantly change.In addition to yarn Except, embedded line 132 can be with the construction of such as silk (such as monofilament), line, rope, band, cable or chain.It is first with braiding is formed The yarn of part 131 is compared, and the thickness of embedded line 132 can be bigger.In some constructions, embedded line 132 can have than The thickness of the yarn of knitting element 131 significantly bigger.Although the cross-sectional shape of embedded line 132 can be round, also Triangle, rectangular, rectangle, ellipse or irregular shape can be used.Moreover, the material for forming embedded line 132 may include For any one of the material of yarn in knitting element 131, such as cotton thread, elastomer, polyester, artificial silk, wool, And nylon.As described above, embedded line 132 can show the stretch-proof resistance bigger than knitting element 131.In this way, for being embedded in The suitable material of line 132 may include the various engineering silks applied for high-tensile, including glass, aromatic polyamides (example Such as, para-aramid and meta-aramid), ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and liquid crystal polymer.As another reality Example, woollen yarn knitting polyester line are also used as embedded line 132.

The example of the suitable constructions of the part for knitting member 130 is depicted in Fig. 8 A.In this configuration, braiding member Part 131 includes forming the yarns 138 of multiple rings be combineding with each other, multiple ring be combineding with each other define the rows of multiple level with Vertical stringer.Embedded line 132 along an extension in row, and positioned at the ring that (a) is formed by yarn 138 behind with (b) between before the ring formed by yarn 138 alternately.The knot formed by knitting element 131 in fact, embedded line 132 shuttles Structure.Although yarn 138 forms each in the row in the construction, other yarn can be formed one in row or It is multiple, or the part in one or more of row can be formed.

Another example of the part for knitting member 130 suitably constructed is depicted in Fig. 8 B.In the construction In, knitting element 131 includes yarn 138 and other yarn 139.Yarn 138 and yarn 139 be bonded (plated) and Cooperatively form multiple rings be combineding with each other of the row and vertical stringer that define multiple levels.That is, yarn 138 and yarn Line 139 is parallel to be extended each other.As the construction in Fig. 8 A, embedded line 132 along an extension in row, and positioned at (a) between before the ring behind the ring formed by yarn 138 and yarn 139 and (b) formed by yarn 138 and yarn 139 Alternately.The advantage of this construction is that the characteristic of yarn 138 and each in yarn 139 being somebody's turn to do in knitting member 130 It is presented in region.For example, yarn 138 and yarn 139 can have different colors, the color of wherein yarn 138 mainly to present On the front of different stitchings in knitting element 131, and the color of yarn 139 is mainly presented in knitting element 131 not With on the back side of stitching.As another example, yarn 139 can by than yarn 138 more flexibly and cosily against foot Yarn is formed, and wherein yarn 138 is mainly presented on first surface 136, and yarn 139 is mainly presented on second surface 137.

Continue the construction of Fig. 8 B, yarn 138 can be by thermoset copolymer material and natural fiber (for example, cotton thread, wool Line, silk) at least one of formed, and yarn 139 can be formed by thermoplastic, polymeric materials.In general, thermoplasticity polymerize Object material melts when heated, and is restored to solid-state when cooled.More specifically, thermoplastic, polymeric materials, which are worked as, is subjected to foot From Solid State Transformation to softening state or liquid when enough heats, and then thermoplastic, polymeric materials when sufficiently being cooled down from Softening state or liquid are transformed into solid-state.In this way, thermoplastic, polymeric materials are frequently used for two objects or element to be incorporated in Together.In this case, yarn 139 can be used for for example, a part for yarn 138 is connected to another portion of yarn 138 by (a) Point, (b) yarn 138 and embedded line 132 are connected to each other, or (c) (for example, indicating, trade mark, and have another element The brand of operation instruction and material information) it is connected to knitting member 130.In this way, in view of yarn 139 can be used for making knitting member 130 partial melting makes the part of knitting member 130 be connected to each other in other ways, and yarn 139 can be considered fusible Yarn.Moreover, it is contemplated that yarn 138 be not partial melting by knitting member 130 usually can be made or in other ways The material that the part of knitting member 130 is connected to each other is set to be formed, yarn 138 can be considered as non-fus yarn.Namely It says, yarn 138 can be non-fus yarn, and yarn 139 can be fusible yarn.In some structures of knitting member 130 In making, yarn 138 (that is, non-fus yarn) can be formed generally by thermosetting polyester material, and yarn 139 is (that is, can Molten yarn) it can be formed at least partly by thermoplastic polyester material.

The use of bonded yarn can assign knitting member 130 advantage.When yarn 139 is heated and is molten to yarn 138 and when embedded line 132, which can have the function of the structure of hardening or solidification knitting member 130.Moreover, (a) is by yarn 138 part is connected to another part of yarn 138 or (b) yarn 138 and embedded line 132 is connected to each other with fixation Or the effect of the relative position of locking yarn 138 and embedded line 132, to assign stretch-resistance and hardness.That is, yarn 138 part can not slided relative to each other when being melted with yarn 139, to prevent the relative movement due to braiding structure Caused by knitting element 131 bending or permanent elongation.If the part that another benefit is related to knitting member 130 is damaged A fracture in bad or yarn 138 then scatter by limitation.Equally, embedded line 132 can not be slided relative to knitting element 131 It is dynamic, to prevent the part of embedded line 132 from being pulled out from knitting element 131.Therefore, the region of knitting member 130 can obtain Beneficial to the use of fusible yarn and both not fusible yarns in knitting element 131.

The another aspect of knitting member 130 is related to neighbouring ankle opening 121 and at least partly around ankle opening 121 The region (padded area) filled with bedding and padding extended.With reference to Fig. 7 E, it is that the region filled with bedding and padding is overlapped by two and At least partly coextensive braiding layer 140 and multiple floating yarns 141 formation extended between braiding layer 140, the braiding layer 140 can be formed by integral weaving structure.Although the side or edge of braiding layer 140 are fixed to each other, central area is typically It is loose.In this way, braiding layer 140 is effectively formed pipe or tubular structure, and the yarn 141 that floats can be located at or be embedded in volume To pass through the tubular structure between tissue layer 140.That is, floating yarn 141 extends between braiding layer 140, it is substantially parallel In the surface of braiding layer 140, and also extends through and fill the internal capacity between braiding layer 140.However, knitting element 131 Most of to be formed with the yarn for forming the ring be combineding with each other by being mechanically manipulated, floating yarn 141 is usually freely or with it Its mode is embedded in the internal capacity between braiding layer 140.As another fact, braiding layer 140 can be at least partly It is formed by drawing.The advantage of the construction is that braiding layer will effectively compress floating yarn 141 and open neighbouring ankle The region filled with bedding and padding of mouth 121 provides pliable appearance.That is, being compiled during forming the braiding of knitting member 130 Drawing in tissue layer 140 can be placed as being in tension state, and floating yarn 141 is compressed so as to cause braiding layer 140.Though Level of stretch in right drawing can significantly change, but drawing can in many constructions of knitting member 130 To stretch at least 100%.

The presence of floating yarn 141 assigns the compressible appearance in the region filled with bedding and padding of neighbouring ankle opening 121, from And enhance comfort level of the footwear 100 in the region of ankle opening 121.Many conventional article of footwear are by polymer foam element Or other compressible materials are bound in the region of neighbouring ankle opening.Compared with conventional article of footwear, knitting member 130 part formed by integral weaving structure can form filling out for neighbouring ankle opening 121 with the rest part of knitting member 130 Region filled with bedding and padding.In the other construction of footwear 100, the similar region filled with bedding and padding can be located at knitting member 130 other regions.For example, the similar region filled with bedding and padding may be positioned to correspond to the pass between metatarsal and proximal phalanx The region of section bedding and padding to assign joint.Optionally, looped pile ring structure can also be used for a degree of bedding and padding to assign The region of vamp 120.

Based on discussed above, imparting 120 various features of vamp of knitting member 130.Moreover, knitting member 130 provide it is excellent In a variety of advantages of some conventional Upper Configurations.As described above, the vamp of conventional footwear is by for example, by suturing or combining Multiple material elements (for example, fabric, foam of polymers, polymer sheet, leather, synthetic leather) formation of connection.With knot The number amount and type for closing the material elements in vamp increase, the time related with transport, storage, cutting and connecting material element It may also increase with expense.When the number for the material elements being bound in vamp and type increase, come Self cleavage and suture work The waste material of skill also builds up to the degree of bigger.In addition, the vamp of the material elements with greater number may be than by less type The vamp that sum number purpose material elements are formed more is difficult to recycle.Therefore, by reducing the material elements used in vamp Number, it is possible to reduce waste material, while improving the recyclability of production efficiency and vamp.For this purpose, knitting member 130 forms vamp 120 essential part, while manufacture efficiency is improved, reduce and wastes and simplify recuperability.

The construction of other knitting member

Knitting member 150 is depicted in figures 9 and 10, and it can replace knitting member 130 to use in footwear 100. The main element of knitting member 150 is knitting element 151 and embedded line 152.Knitting element 151 is formed by least one yarn, At least one yarn is defined the multiple of many rows and stringer and is combined with each other by operation (such as using braider) to be formed Ring.That is, knitting element 151 has the structure of braided fabric.Embedded line 152 extends through knitting element 151 and in braiding member It is passed through between various rings in part 151.Although embedded line 152 extends approximately along the row in knitting element 151, embedded line 152 can also extend along the stringer in knitting element 151.As embedded line 132, embedded line 152 assigns stretch-resistance, and When being bound in footwear 100, embedded line 152 works in conjunction with shoestring 122 to enhance the grade of fit of footwear 100.

The construction of braider and feeder

Although braiding can be completed with hand, the business manufacture of knitting member usually is completed to carry out by braider. The example for the braider 200 for being suitable for producing any of knitting member 130 and 150 is depicted in Figure 15.For citing Purpose, construction of the braider 200 with V- flat knitting machines, but any of knitting member 130 and 150 or knitting member 130 and 150 form can be produced by other types of braider.

Braider 200 includes two needle beds 201 being angled with respect to each other, to form V-arrangement bed.It is every in needle bed 201 One includes multiple individual needles 202 on being located at common face.That is, the needle 202 from a needle bed 201 is located at the first plane On, and be located in the second plane from the needle of another needle bed 201 202.First plane and the second plane are (that is, two needle beds 201) it is angled with respect to each other, and merges to form the cross spider of the width along braider 200 largely extended.It is such as following Described in more detail, needle 202 is respectively with wherein they are the first position retracted and wherein they are the seconds stretched out It sets.In first position, needle 202 is spaced apart with the cross spider that wherein the first plane and the second plane merge.However, in second In setting, needle 202 passes through the cross spider that the first plane and the second plane merge.

A pair of tracks 203 is on the cross spider of needle bed 201 and is parallel to the cross spider of needle bed 201 and extends, and is Multiple standard feeders 204 and combination feeder 220 provide attachment point.Every track 203 tool is every in two sides there are two side One receiving or a standard feeder 204 or a combination feeder 220.In this way, braider 200 may include total of four into To device 204 and 220.As depicted, the track 203 of foremost includes combination feeder 220 and on the opposite sides One standard feeder 204, and rearmost track 203 includes two standard feeders 204 on the opposite sides.Although retouching Two tracks 203 are painted, the other construction of braider 200 may include other track 203 with for 204 He of more feeders Feeder 220 provides attachment point.

Due to the action of bracket 205, feeder 204 and 220 is moved along track 203 and needle bed 201, to supply yarn Needle 202 should be arrived.In fig.15, yarn 206 is provided by spool 207 and arrives joint feeder 220.More specifically, being combined entering Before feeder 220, yarn 206 extends to each yarn guide member 208 from axis 207, yarn retracts spring 209 and yarn tensioning Device 210.Although not describing, spool 207 in addition can be used for yarn feeding to feeder 204.

Standard feeder 204 is commonly used in V- flat knitting machines, such as braider 200.That is, existing braider includes standard Feeder 204.There is each standard feeder 204 supply needle 202 to manipulate it with the ability of the yarn of braiding, tuck and floating. As a comparison, combination feeder 220 has the ability of the yarn (for example, yarn 206) of the braiding of supply pin 202, tuck and floating, And combine the ability that feeder 220 has embedded yarn.In addition, combination feeder 220 has embedded a variety of different line (examples Such as, silk, line, rope, band, cable, chain or yarn) ability.Therefore, combination loader 220 has than each standard loader 204 Big multifunctionality.
