Description

Athletic shoelace

The present invention relates to a textile strip according to the preamble of claim 1 which is suitable, for example, sport footwear such as soccer shoe, the shoelaces.

Such a tape comprises natural fibers or synthetic fibers or mixtures thereof formed consisting of tekstiilimatriisin yarn, which is composed of a rubber-like material promoting the friction area. Preferably, it has two opposite ends, which are formed in the tape ends with the shoe.

The present invention also relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 14 for the preparation of a shoelace and the shoe according to the preamble of claim 18, in particular sports footwear.

Known from the patent literature numerous solutions in which the shoelace is made of rubber-like materials arranged wires or tracks.

U.S. Patent No. 4 930 196 an elongated, flexible strip of the shoe, the surface of which is shown, is applied to one continuous, elongate interior track or more, respectively, the short transverse stripe. The gummy track causes iltin and accordingly the shoe nauhahalkion holes in the area of mechanical adhesion between the shoe and the shoe tape and adhesive friction, which prevents Cord wrapped shoelace popping up when the tape does not slip after the conclusion of a shoelace. Shoelace is therefore "unopened" or in English "slip resistant".

4 930 196 the solution described in US Patent rubber-like track appliqué is carried out by spraying the surface of the sticky tape and the elastic material. However, the mechanical strength of such a friction layer is bad like that shown in the strip will wear off over time.

Similar solutions in which the strip on the shoe is injected into the pro-adhesive friction, also known as the utility model DE 20010500, in which alternative ways to attach a shoelace friction surfaces of either continuous or spotlike structures shown.

CN Utility Model 201733984 and DE Utility Model 20212573 describes similar, surface-covered rubber-like material of the shoe tracks, which are suitable, for example, to increase the friction between the football meadows, which the ball of the shoe.

U.S. Patent No. 5 272 796 is shown another solution for the preparation of the non-opening strip of the shoe, wherein the rubber thread or rubber thread is interwoven with other yarns or filaments of the tape.

The tape is shown in the preferred embodiments only one layer, and therefore their strength properties, for example urheilukenkään inappropriate. Since the rubber thread or kumisäie is interwoven with textile yarns, only a small part of it is also available to form the friction surface,

Known non-open the above and kitkapintaisten shoe lacing strips in place and the tape binding is more difficult than an ordinary tape, which slides easily rekissä or eyelets of the shoe and to which the node is easy to make.

The present invention is to eliminate at least some of prior art drawbacks associated with and to provide a new type of tape, which is particularly suitable for footwear such as soccer Kent, and to garments, and the insertion threaded causes the tape to the surface of the friction surface sports shoe, but which is, however, easily be slipped into place.

The invention is based on the idea that the friction surface is used to form the rubber thread, which is thus immersed in an elongate textile layer that it does not form part of the mantle surface of the textile layer. Textile yarn attached to a mechanical layer and left raised so that it at least for the most part is visible.

Shoelace to a suitable textile strip can be prepared by forming a textile yarns elongate tekstiilimatriisi attaching textile yarns mechanically to each other in a known manner, wherein the friction-promoting region is provided at least in one direction rubber thread or -säie tekstiilimatriisin the longitudinal axis of the immersion tekstiilimatriisiin, secured mechanically tekstiilimatriisiin that used to form the at least one wire.

Adapted for sports footwear, such as threaded holes jalkopallokengän nauhahalkion, textile tape according to the present invention provides a friction surface, which contributes to kick the shoe and the friction between the game instrument, which enhance the game control means.

More specifically, the tension on the tape according to the invention is characterized by what is disclosed in the characterizing part of claim 1.

The method according to the invention is characterized by what is presented in claim 14 characterizing part of the footwear according to the invention by what is set forth in the characterizing part of claim 18.

The invention offers significant benefits. Thus, the tape is easy to slip into place, due to the undamped tape surface is smooth and textile yarns due to slippery. However, when the tape is in place to tighten a flattened tekstiilimatriisia so that the friction surface contacts ilttiä and nauhahalkiota, wherein the strip becomes unopened. In a similar way a football shoe ribbon flattens into contact with the ball, when the ribbon to promote and friction grip between the ball and the shoe.

The illustrated tape is also suitable for other uses, such as fabric and textile goods and similar products kiristysnauhana, wherein the friction surface makes the tape to open the non-("slip resistant"). Uses include. sacks, bags, nets, tents, awnings, tarpaulins, sails, bedspreads, tablecloths, clothing and headgear. Clothing to be mentioned separately for casual clothing as well as sports and physical activities used clothing straps. The present textile strip can be particularly preferably used, for example. hood, cuffs, collar, waist and legs kiristysnauhana, such as hooded sweater or jacket hood kiristysnauhana.

Details and advantages of embodiments of the invention are described in the following detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which tape according to one embodiment shown in Figure 1 is a top view and Figure 2 shows a tape according to the previous embodiment cross-section AA.

As is obvious from the above, a shoe suitable for the shoelaces textile band composed of textile yarns typically comprises an elongated tekstiilimatriisin a textile layer, a rubber-like material containing a friction-promoting region. The friction-promoting region is formed by embedding at least one tekstiilimatriisiin tekstiilimatriisin parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rubber yarn which is mechanically fixed tekstiilimatriisiin wires used to form the form.

Tekstiilimatriisi is preferably a ribbon or cord having a length of at least 50 times, especially at least 75 and preferably at least 85 times greater than its width.

Textile strip may be circumferential in cross-section, elliptical or rectangular according to, in particular textile strip is a cross-section of the oval (elliptical) or rectangular. The tape can thus be "round" or "flat". The tape is preferably a multi-layer, wherein it has at least two opposing surfaces.

In one embodiment, tekstiilinauhassa facing the shoe from the inner surface and an opposite outer surface. Below are described in more detail, the friction promoting the reeling area is at least a textile tape to the outer surface.

Tekstiilinauhassa preferably still two opposite ends, which are compressed, for example, a shoelace of the shoe nauhahalkion the head to facilitate threading of the holes. Ends may be similarly shaped in order to facilitate the use of the clothes.

As an example, in accordance with the present technology, reference can be made tekstiilinauhasta in Figures 1 and 2 is shown in the tape, which comprises a fabric having a longitudinal direction of the textile yarn 1 (warps) and transverse textile threads 3 (weft). These form the woven strip mechanical properties of the corresponding matrix.

Tekstiilimatriisi tissue can also be formed twine or braid (braided nyöristä), wherein the longitudinal threads are wrapped around each other. In these cases, it is preferable to run the tape in the transverse threads which tissue wefts Act binds the longitudinal wires together.

The tape typically consists of a textile layer of natural fibers or synthetic fibers or a mixture thereof. Particularly preferably, it consists of cotton, flax, hemp, sisal, polyester, polyamide, polyolefin, or a mixture thereof, to a cotton and polyester, or polyamide yarns polypropeenikuituiset as well as cotton, polyester, polyamide and consist polypropeenikuituseoksista yarns are particularly preferred. Polyesters mentioned in particular polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

Representative of the yarn linear density is about 33-340 dtex, preferably about 80-200, especially about 110-150 dtex, a polyamide yarn dtex and about 17-235 56-167 dtex polypropylene yarn.

In the present tekstiilinauhassa is still friction to promote the area. The friction-promoting region comprises at least one straight (linear) rubber yarn or kumisäikeestä, which is arranged in parallel with tekstiilimatriisin longitudinal axis, and which is a matrix embedded with the rubber yarn surface there is a longitudinal direction at least slightly less than the textile layer of the envelope surface, a rubber thread or kumisäikeet is arranged below the surface. In this case, the strip of textile matrix layer comprises a textile strip surface, in a situation where the strip is not subjected to the textile layer of compressive forces to flatten or otherwise, as will be described in more detail below.

In the present technology, a rubber thread or -säie is "direct" or "linear", which means that it is not threaded the maze of inside textile layer. Preferably, the rubber yarn or -säie the textile layer is attached to a substantially straightened into a yarn or filament. It is embedded in the textile layer so that the longitudinal axis throughout at least substantially parallel to the textile layer / tape longitudinal axis.

The friction-promoting or filament yarn is mechanically attached tekstiilimatriisiin. Preferably kumilankatai -säie tekstiilimatriisiin is mechanically attached by means of wire used to form. In particular, coupling is transverse yarns that bind onto the tape length direction yarns. This is shown in the drawings, wherein the solution according to Figures 1 and 2, two elastic threads is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the strip attached to adjacent wefts 3 by means of wires.

Tekstiilinauhassa is preferably 2-10, particularly around the rubber yarns 2-5, which are arranged side by side and parallel to the longitudinal direction of the tekstiilimatriisin.

Rubber thread is visible tekstiilimatriisin essentially one and the same surface of the elongated stripe that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tekstiilimatriisin. Preferably, the rubber yarn or filament 2 is selected so that its cross-section is at least some warps of textile yarn forming a cross-section smaller than the textile yarn is free and fatigue-form, that is, when it is not subjected to compressive forces and tensile forces. In other words, the rubber yarn is thinner than the tekstiilimatriisin forming a textile yarn.

Yarn compressibility of the rubber is less than the textile layer to form the textile yarns compressibility, wherein the rubber thread forms at least part of the textile strip envelope surface of the tekstiilimatriisia compressed.

Similarly, the uncompressed textile tape an envelope surface consists solely of textile fibers.

Based on the above one particularly preferred embodiment, suitable for example j alkapallokenkään: -. A textile strip more-layer tekstiilimatriisin at least one surface is immersed in a plurality of adjacent straight elastic threads or strands with a lower compressibility than the form of wool textile yarns textile layer, - wherein the rubber thread or -säie forms at least part of the textile tape shell surface when the tape is subjected to forces which have the effect flattens the tape.

In another preferred embodiment,] thorn is combined with the former, - tekstiilimatriisi comprises polyester yarns woven or braided tape, - tape is shaped flat shoelace to the ends of which is shaped shoelace ends with, and - the second surface of the tape is 2-4 gummy direct wire, which run parallel to the strip the longitudinal direction of the strip from end to end, wherein the elastic threads are below the envelope surface of the tape when the tape is incompressible mass mode.

In these applications, it is essential that the rubber thread bundles or strands are not associated with the textile layer into the fabric, braid, or braiding, but the rubber thread or -säie layer is left substantially stretched into a yarn or filament, which I reached is displayed on the outer surface of the tape.

Rubber thread or rubber threads consisting at least partially, preferably entirely, from natural rubber (caoutchouc), a synthetic rubber such as styrene butadiene, neoprene or silicone rubber, or a thermoplastic elastomer or a mixture thereof. Preferably, the thread or threads are of the same material throughout. The thread or threads are straight (non-curled).

The material is typically such that it is elastic and rubbery. Entirely composed of rubber thread or filament is flattened kompressiovoimien everywhere, but pressed less than the size of the textile fiber. Similarly, the rubber is stretched under tensile forces, but because it does not curled its cross section is reduced considerably less than the textile fibers.

Rubber Thread and, correspondingly, kumisäikeiden color can be chosen freely. They may be the same color as the textile layer forming yarns color. In this case, the friction surface of the forming area has been virtually invisible. Such a tape is suitable for use in clothing, for example, where the drawstring may be imperceptible.

Rubber filaments or fibers, in the color can also be different from that of the textile layer to form the textile yarns color. This applies to cases in which the strip is to be fitted in place, so that the rubber surface is outwardly so that it should be installed in place of a desired Erivärisyys friction surface to facilitate this verification.

The present play of the shoe is flattened ribbon, the ribbon of the box hits the Game Medium, in which case the strip is directed between the compression means and the leg of the game. The tape is also flattened when it is tightened, because tekstiilimatriisin form yarns straighten and flatten in the effect of the tension forces more elastic threads or strands. In this case, the tape adheres firmly ilttiin and nauhahalkioon shoe.
