fig. 5 is the floor map of further alternative cushion embodiment;
fig. 6 is a longitudinal cross-section schematic diagram of a footwear product, has shown a still further alternative cushion embodiment;
fig. 7 is the exploded view of having described to manufacture according to one embodiment of the present of invention a kind of method of footwear product;
fig. 8 has shown the another kind of method of manufacturing footwear product according to an alternative embodiment of the invention;
fig. 9 is the part partial enlarged drawing of Fig. 8.
The specific embodiment
cushion according to the footwear product of embodiments of the invention, comprises helical spring plate is housed, and it is also sometimes referred to as package spring.This plate comprises one group of metal coil spring conventionally, and it is enclosed in respectively in the formed bag of the material layer that binds or link together.In the applicant's the european patent application that the publication number in the application stage is EP1993947 equally, a kind of production technology easily of manufacturing this plate has been described.
the width of this spring is greater than height conventionally, and, when this spring is in bag, its diameter is greater than its height.This plate has stability, elasticity and feasibility.For adapting to the required shape of footwear product, its flat shape can be cropped, in addition, it is all flexible in two planes, and is horizontal, i.e. side direction, and this makes it be easy to be contained in the cavity or sleeve of footwear product.
referring to Fig. 1,10 is the elastic plate according to first embodiment of the present invention.This plate is generally foot-shape, comprises the vertical stainless steel bagged-spring 12 of a component, and each spring is arranged in the bag that its spunbond polyester material is separately made.
fig. 2 is that Fig. 1 is along the sectional view of A-A '.The 14a of thin slice up and down of spunbond polyester and 14b are at 12, the spring formation satchel that is bonded together.
fig. 3 is the partial enlarged drawing of a section in Fig. 2, in the bag between layer 14a and 14b, can see spring 12.
this plate 10 is added to sole or the heel of footwear product, or is added in the two simultaneously, can increase wearer's comfort level.Owing to existing, have in a large number contractibility and flexible spring, this plate can adapt to the profile of wearer's pin at an easy rate.
in the example of Fig. 1, spring 12 has identical rigidity substantially, and this can be by realizing forming the standard-sized suitable selection of the metal wire of spring.Yet, do not need the rigidity of all springs all identical.
fig. 4 has shown an optional embodiment, and wherein, this elastic plate has three different regions 16,18 and 20.The rigidity that forms the spring of the first and the 3rd region 16 and 20 is greater than the rigidity of region 18 medi-springs, and when this plate is incorporated in a footwear product, wearer's pin applies pressure still less to region 18 conventionally.
fig. 5 has shown further variation, and except being conventionally applied with the region 22 and 24 that lays respectively at heel and forefoot position of maximum pressure, whole plate has the spring of same stiffness.In region 22 and 24, owing to having used the line of thicker specification, spring has larger rigidity.
fig. 6 has shown the longitudinal cross-section schematic diagram of the footwear 26 with the sole 28 that comprises the above-mentioned type elastic plate 30.Be positioned at the toe part 32 of wearer's forefoot below, and the heel portion 34 that is positioned at wearer's foot heel below, the bagged-spring that comprises first size.The part 36 that is positioned at the plate 30 of wearer's arch of foot below comprises larger spring, and it is designed to harder, and therefore still less crooked, makes the profile of wearer's pin obtain fine support.
certainly, can be according to the rigidity of spring and size Selection spring, and they can be grouped into zones of different and combine in a certain way to provide the performance characteristic of expectation.These features can be determined by footwear and/or wearer.For example, sport footwear can be designed as has the elastic characteristic that the condition with a special exercise matches, and playshoes can customize for comfortable, and corrective shoes can be constructed for maximum medical effect.
this plate can insert in the cavity or bag forming in footwear product in advance with cassette form, or this plate can be placed in mould and sole---or other parts, or whole this footwear product---can mould around it.Alternatively, this plate can form a part for shoe-pad, and for some application, it can be placed in footwear simply.
fig. 7 is for manufacturing the decomposing schematic representation of a kind of method of footwear product according to one embodiment of the present of invention.The base portion 40 of one comprises a whole sole and heel, has a cavity 42, and it is placed with an elastic plate that comprises one group of above-mentioned bagged-spring 44.Can plate 44 be firmly attached on base portion 40 with adhesive (not showing).Then, may be placed on plate 44 by top layer 46 natural or that artificial material forms and may be fabric or non-woven, as one " lid ", and fixing by adhesive (not showing).Then, the part that these footwear are remaining, for example top (not showing), is connected on base portion 40 by known methods, for example, sews up, welds or use adhesive.
fig. 8 has shown according to the another kind of method of manufacturing footwear of the present invention.In the embodiment shown in fig. 8, plate 44 is inserted in cavity, as embodiment above.But, from plate 44 use adhesives are attached to base portion 40 and top layer are placed on plate different, in this embodiment, adding insole 50 front with the upper strata being connected (not showing), a kind of foam rubber 48 or similarly material are to inject, to pour into or other modes overflow across and/or around this plate 44, fill up fully cavity 42.
fig. 9 is the partial enlarged drawing around the B part in Fig. 8.
yet the example shown in diagram is whole sole substantially, be only heel plate or forefoot plate, or the discrete plate of the zones of different of two or more pin, may be with and serve benefit.Two or more plates may be placed on another top, so that extra comfort level to be provided.
an extra substrate layer may be placed on the top of bagged-spring, or below, or between adjacent spring layer, to improve comfort level and/or the performance of plate.This extra layer is not presented in diagram, and it can be comprised of natural material (as fiber crops), to improve the recyclability of footwear.
the term using above " footwear product " refers to any thing that can be through on pin, such as but not limited to footwear, boots, slippers, sandals or socks.
simultaneously; the feature of the present invention of paying close attention in above-mentioned description is considered to particular importance, it should be understood that the combination of the characteristic of mentioning in the claimed any potential characteristic of applicant or literary composition; and/or be presented in diagram lay special stress on whether thereon no matter.
