Definitions

  • the invention generally relates to an article of footwear and a knitted component thereof. Particularly, the invention relates to an article of footwear which is naturally conformable to the foot and a knitted component thereof.
  • shoes are composed of an upper and a sole.
  • the upper is normally in direct contact with the foot of the wearer to provide covering and protection.
  • the sole is fixed to the bottom of the upper to serve as a cushion for the wearer's foot on the ground, thereby reducing the stress on the foot caused by the reaction force.
  • the upper can usually be made of different materials, such as natural leather, synthetic leather, polymer, fabric, etc.; and a knitted upper, because of its excellent permeability and performance in comfort, as well as the advantage of lower manufacturing cost, makes the development of knitted shoes advance very fast.
  • a knitted upper is generally very soft and not easy to maintain in shape. Additional support or additional shaping technology is employed to maintain the shape of the upper. The use of additional support to the knitted upper makes the manufacturing process more complicated, the material cost higher, and the design much limited.
  • the shaping technology usually uses thermoplastic yarn during the knitting of the upper, and due to the hot melt and cold curing characteristics of the thermoplastic yarn, the entire upper is solidified to maintain its shape, making the upper less soft and less comfortable.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an article of footwear and a knitted component thereof, which is formed by knitting regions of two-dimensional structures to form a three-dimensional shoe upper, in which each two-dimensional region uses a different number of stitches according to the stretch ratio desired for such region, so when the two-dimensional knitted component forms the three-dimensional shoe upper, the shoe upper will have a natural three-dimensional configuration, and when the wearer's foot is inserted into the article of footwear made by the knitted component, courses and wales in each region of the shoe upper are substantially orthogonal to each other, promoting the comfort and the manufacturability of the shoes.
  • the present invention provides an article of footwear including a shoe upper and a sole structure fixed to the shoe upper.
  • the shoe upper defines a shoe cavity for a foot to be inserted thereinto.
  • the shoe upper is formed by a knitted component and includes a plurality of upper regions.

  • Each of the plurality of upper regions has a stretch ratio to its corresponding knitted region of the plurality of knitted regions.
  • the number of stitches in each of the plurality of knitted regions is proportional to its corresponding stretch ratio, so when the foot is inserted into the shoe cavity, courses and wales formed by the at least one yarn in the plurality of upper regions are substantially orthogonal to each other.
  • the stretch ratio is a length ratio of the upper region when the foot is inserted into the shoe cavity to its corresponding knitted region.
  • the present invention can also form the knitted regions according to the yarn characteristics such as elastic modulus, structural strength, wear resistance, etc. to give a natural three-dimensional effect to the knitted shoe upper.
  • the present invention provides an article of footwear which includes a shoe upper and a sole structure fixed to the shoe upper.
  • the shoe upper defines a shoe cavity for a foot to be inserted thereinto.
  • the sole structure is fixed to the shoe upper, wherein the shoe upper is formed by a knitted component.
  • the knitted component is knitted from at least one yarn and includes a plurality of knitted regions respectively corresponding to different portions of the foot.
  • the knitted regions include a heel region and an instep region respectively corresponding to a heel portion and an instep portion of the foot.
  • the at least one yarn forming the heel region and the instep region comprises an elastic yarn, so the heel region and the instep region have an elastic modulus substantially larger than other knitted regions.
  • the plurality of knitted regions further include a lateral region corresponding to a lateral portion of the foot; the elastic yarn extends from the instep region to the lateral region.
  • the at least one yarn forming the heel region further includes a wear-resistant yarn and a structural yarn; the structural yarn is relatively thicker or harder than the elastic yarn.

  • the article of footwear of the present invention achieves a natural three-dimensional effect by modifying the number of stitches and/or the yarn characteristics in different knitted regions, so that the shoe upper is naturally conformable to the foot to promote the comfort and the manufacturability of the shoes.
  • the article of footwear 1 of the present invention includes a shoe upper 10 and a sole structure 20 fixed to the shoe upper 10.
  • the shoe upper 10 defines a shoe cavity 12 for a foot of a wearer to be inserted thereinto.
  • the sole structure 20 is fixed to the bottom of the shoe upper 10.
  • the sole structure 20 may include an insole and an outsole to promote the ground contact stability and the comfort of walking when the wearer's foot inserted into the shoe cavity 12 is in contact with the ground.

  • the feature lines are projected to a two-dimensional knitted component 100 to obtain the corresponding knitted regions 100a, 10b, 100c and its corresponding lines L1', L2', L3'.
  • the knitted regions 100a, 100b, 100c are knitted according to its corresponding stretch ratio to form the knitted component 100.
  • a knitted region generally having 14 stitches per 1 centimeter (i.e. 14 stitches/cm) as an example, the number of stitches in each of the knitted regions 100a, 100b, 100c is proportional to its corresponding stretch ratio. That is, the number of stitches in each knitted region 100a, 100b, 100c is the stretch ratio multiplied by 14.
  • the number of stitches in the knitted regions 100a, 100b, 100c is 14*L1/L1', 14*L2/L2', 14*L3/L3', respectively.
  • the shoe upper 10 can be divided into a plurality of grids in two dimensions and calculated to obtain a knitting design of the two-dimensional knitted component 100 including a plurality of grids (i.e. knitted regions) 101.

  • the difference in the number of stitches in the four corners of each grid can be calculated by the finite element method (i.e. stress-strain calculations) to determine which grid will have a greater variance in transformation from the two-dimensional configuration to the three-dimensional configuration due to the difference in the number of stitches.
  • the grid 102 has a larger difference in the number of stitches, and therefore, the yarn for forming the grid 102 is preferably an elastic yarn, such as Lycra yarn, to achieve effective deformation, but not limited thereto.

  • the inside lateral region corresponds to an inside area of the foot (i.e., the surface that faces toward the other foot), and the outside lateral region corresponds to an outside area of the foot (i.e. the surface that faces away from the other foot).
  • the elastic modulus required for different upper regions can be defined by ergonomic principles to determine the distribution of elastic modulus of the knitted component 100'. Using ergonomic principles, it can be determined which portions of the foot are more likely to be in contact with the shoe upper and those portions would require greater support. When the elastic modulus is greater or the responsive elastic force is greater, the feeling of support will be stronger. Moreover, the elastic modulus of the cloth of the entire knitted component 100' can be determined by the combination of the elastic modulus of the yarn and the density of the yarn. Using the most ergonomic elastic modulus set for standard cloth, the required elastic modulus of the yarn selected for each knitted region, such as grid 101, can be determined.
  • the elastic modulus calculated for the grids 101a, 101b, 101c, 101 d, 101e, and 101f are 10, 0.5, 7, 0.5, 9, and 12, respectively.

  • the required elastic modulus can be achieved by changing the knitting thickness, and/or the knitting direction. It is noted that when the elastic modulus of the knitted region in a specific direction is higher than other direction, using different yarns in the courses or wales to produce different elastic modulus can achieve the required effect.

  • the at least one yarn forming the heel region 104 and the instep region 103 includes an elastic yarn, so the heel region 104 and the instep region 103 have an elastic modulus substantially larger than other knitted regions.
  • the shoe upper 10' can obliquely, i.e. from the instep to the heel, and elastically surround the foot 2 to achieve a natural three-dimensional fitting effect.
  • the elastic yarn preferably extends from the instep region 103 to the lateral region 107.
  • the instep region 103 and the lateral regions 107 constitute an elastic ring region.
  • the shoe upper 10' can provide a better support and conformability to the instep portion, the lateral portions, and the heel portion of the foot.
  • the at least one yarn forming the heel region 104 preferably further includes a wear-resistant yarn and a structural yarn.
  • the structural yarn is relatively thicker or harder than the elastic yarn, so the heel portion 104 not only has elasticity, but also has a higher wear-resistance and a stronger structural strength.
  • the at least one yarn forming the shoe opening region 105 preferably includes a wear-resistant yarn and an elastic yarn, so the shoe opening region 105 has a higher wear-resistance and a greater elasticity.
  • the at least one yarn forming the toe region 106 preferably includes a wear-resistant yarn and a structural yarn, so the toe region 105 has a higher wear-resistance and a stronger structural strength.
  • thermoplastic yarn can be locally employed as the structural yarn, so the shoe upper 10' can locally enhance the support effect while the whole shoe upper 10' still maintains a considerable flexibility.
  • the article of footwear and the knitted component thereof of the present invention can achieve a natural three-dimensional configuration, promote the comfort and the manufacturability of shoes by modifying the number of stitches in different knitted regions of the knitted component and/or by adopting different yarn characteristics according to the required elasticity for different knitted regions.
