Definitions

  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged, partially schematic area cross-sectional view from the location indicated in FIG. 1 A.
  • FIGS. 3A1-3G show various steps in a process for fabricating a composite panel for the upper of the shoe shown in FIGS. 1A-1C.
  • upper 11 does not include a "bootie” or other liner in the region of composite panel 15.
  • a bootie or other type of liner can be included.
  • Outer panel 19 tightly conforms to contouring element 33. Tension in outer panel 19 causes outer panel 19 to exert inward pressure on contouring element 33. This causes a slight compression of contouring element 33 and a rounding of the contouring element outer edges (e.g., edges el). Outer panel 19 is bonded to the portions of backing 29 band 55 surrounding contouring element 33, with the bond between panel 19 and band 55 extending to inner edges e2 where contouring element 33 meets band 55. Outer panel 19 is similarly bonded to the portions of band 56 surrounding contouring element 33 and to the portions of the other bands surrounding the other contouring elements. Thus, outer panel 19 tightly conforms to the other portions of contouring element 33 and to contouring elements 31, 32 and 34 in a manner similar to that shown in FIG. 2.
  • contouring elements 31, 32, 33 and 34 are put into place on portions of backing 29 surface 66.
  • each of contouring elements 31-34 has been placed by pushing the contouring element onto surface 66 so that appropriate ones of pins 62 are pushed through corresponding locating holes in the contouring element.
  • each of contouring elements 31-34 is formed from a synthetic leather and has a thickness (TC from FIG. 2) of between approximately 1 millimeter and approximately 3 millimeters.
  • the exterior surfaces of contouring elements 31-34 may have a pre-applied layer of unactivated hot-melt bonding agent.
  • the temperature, pressure and press time for the first pressing operation of FIG. 3D1 will vary based on the type of materials used. In some embodiments utilizing the example materials identified above, the assembled components stack is pressed at 150°C and 100 kg/cm 2 for approximately for 15 seconds. For different types of materials, appropriate pressing parameters to achieve a partial component bonding is readily determinable by persons of ordinary skill in the art. As but one example, samples of components to be used could be assembled and subjected to the press parameters described above.
  • the temperature, pressure and press time for the second pressing operation of FIG. 3E2 will also vary based on the type of materials used.
  • partially- bonded stack 70 is pressed at 150°C and 35 to 40 kg/cm 2 for approximately for 30 seconds.
  • appropriate pressing parameters to achieve a complete component bonding is readily determinable by persons of ordinary skill in the art.
  • a sample of partially bonded components could be created and subjected to the second pressing parameters described above (e.g., 150°C, 35-40 kg/cm 2 , approximately 30 seconds).
  • additional samples of the partially-bonded components can be prepared and pressed at increasingly higher temperatures (e.g., in 5°C incremental increases) and/or pressures (e.g., in 2 kg/cm 2 incremental increases) and/or for increased time periods (e.g., in 5 second incremental increases) until the desired result (complete conformal bonding of mesh to backing and contouring elements) is achieved.
  • temperatures e.g., in 5°C incremental increases
  • pressures e.g., in 2 kg/cm 2 incremental increases
  • time periods e.g., in 5 second incremental increases
  • FIG. 3F shows composite panel 15 after removal from the press of FIGS. 3E1 and 3E2. Although not visible in the view of FIG. 3F, composite panel 15 has contours corresponding to contouring elements 31-34. Specifically, outer panel 19 is bonded to backing 29 and conforms to the exterior surfaces of each of contouring elements 31-34 in a manner similar to that shown in FIG. 2, thereby creating raised elements that will be located on the exterior surface of a completed upper.
  • toe cap 25 and reinforcing panel 21 are attached to composite panel 15.
  • toe cap 25 and reinforcing panel 21 are stitched in place.
  • Eyelet holes in panel 21 align with corresponding eyelet holes in backing 29. Portions of mesh 19 covering eyelet holes in backing 29 can be cleared in a punching operation (not shown).
  • panel 21 and toe cap 25 could be glued or otherwise bonded to composite panel 15.
  • panel 21 and toe cap 25 could include a layer of unactivated hot-melt adhesive material on their interior surfaces and be bonded to composite panel 15 in a heated press.
  • panel 21 and/or toe cap 25 could be assembled with the components of composite panel 15 (e.g., in a step between the steps shown in FIGS. 3C and 3D1) and then bonded in the first and second pressing steps.
  • panel 21 and toe cap 25 are formed from synthetic leather.
  • panel 21 and/or toe cap 25 could be formed of one or more other materials (e.g., natural leather, polyurethane (PU), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a mesh material, etc.).
  • rear edge 75 of composite panel 15 is joined (e.g., by stitching) to rear edge 76 so as to form a shell of upper 11.
  • Foxing panel 16 (with attached collar 17), padding and a heel counter are then joined to the shell by stitching and/or bonding.
  • Foxing panel 16 can be formed in a separate operation in a manner known in the art.
  • Tongue 13 is then attached to the shell and the shell placed on a last.
  • a lasting sock (or Strobel) can then be attached to the lasted shell to complete upper 11 , and sole structure 12 attached.
  • the resulting upper (or upper portion) can include one or more contouring elements that are securely located on the interior side of a lightweight panel and that lack exposed interfaces that promote separation of the contouring element.
