Definitions

  • the present invention also relates to an upper for shoes with advanced technical characteristics characterized in that it comprises a first and a second part of the upper, each formed by a group of needles that work with a maximum number equal to the number of the needles present in a needle-bearing cylinder of a circular knitting machine.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of the needle-bearing cylinder according to the present invention.
  • the maximum number of needles is equal to the number of needles 3 present in a cylinder 5 of a circular knitting machine that is not represented.
  • the second part of the upper 1 is knitted before or after the first part 1 a of the upper 1 , but in any case the complete upper is unloaded from the machine with the connection of the first part to the second part 1 b , or vice-versa, having already been made simultaneously with the formation thereof, thus obtaining several important advantages.
  • a 12-needle-bearing cylinder is represented, but in reality the needles of a cylinder of a circular machine can also be more numerous, for example 120, or ten times as much.
  • the area covering the instep of the foot, the widest part, begins to be created; in row 1 , 120 needles (12 in the drawing) are used.
  • the selected needles are progressively decreased until arriving at row 7 , in the narrowest area associated with the tip of the upper.
  • a complete upper 1 made up of a first and second parts 1 a and 1 b, can be made, with an enormous advantage from all points of view (time, comfort, wearability, size and technical/physical characteristics), with a maximum number of needles 3 greater than the number of needles 3 present in the needle-bearing cylinder 5 of a circular knitting machine.
  • the group of needles 3 (hereinafter indicated only as needles 3 ) makes at least a three-dimensional pouch 10 suitable for simultaneously containing the tip and the heel of the user's foot.
  • a group of needles is in the drop stitch position in order to pick up the yarn to weave the pouch 10 and another group of needles is in the missed stitch position, so it does not participate in the creation thereof.
  • the needles 3 make at least the eyelets 20 for the laces thereof.
  • the needles 3 are in a position for creating the knit without ever increasing in number and work simultaneously before and after forming the eyelets 20 .
  • the needles 3 comprise both the needles used to form the eyelets and the needles used in the other areas of the first and second parts of the upper.
  • the needles 3 also make the fastening laces 30 thereof.
  • the needles 3 make at least a protective tongue 40 for protecting the user's foot from the tension of the laces.
  • the needles are in the drop stitch position so as to connect the tongue to the first and second parts of the upper and pick up the yarn to weave the tongue.
  • the needles 3 can increase or decrease with every change in direction of the needle-bearing cylinder 5 in order to determine the size of the tongue.
  • the needles 3 make at least an elastic zone 50 made with an elastic yarn.
  • the needles 3 can increase or decrease at every reversal of direction of the needle-bearing cylinder 5 .
  • the needles 3 also form the join 60 between the various knitted parts thereof.
  • the needles are in the drop knit position and rise to pick up the right knitting yarn and, alternately, they are in the drop knit position and rise to pick up the left knitting yarn.
  • the needles in this case, can increase or decrease at every change of direction of the needle-bearing cylinder 5 .
  • the needles make at least a heel-counter cover 70 , during the formation of which the needles are in the drop knit position and pick up the yarn to weave the heel-counter cover and can increase or decrease at every change of direction of the needle-bearing cylinder 5 depending on the size of the heel-counter cover.
  • the needles are also in the missed stitch position and do not participate in the creation of the heel-counter cover.
  • the needles 3 make at least additional holes 80 for anchoring the same to a sole or any internal lining of the upper.
  • the needles 3 make at least an opening for forming a seam 90 of the tip of the upper aligned with the axis 91 of the sole 6 itself, since it can increase or decrease at every change of direction of the needle-bearing cylinder 5 .
  • the seam 90 will be totally hidden and covered by the sole, guaranteeing a perfect aesthetic effect for the footwear.
  • the seam of the tip 90 will be positioned below the underside of the foot and will move away from the tip, thus considerably increasing the resistance of the upper itself and solving any aesthetic problem in an optimal manner.
  • up to 120 needles corresponding to the needles contained in the needle-bearing cylinder, can be used to make the first part of the upper.
  • the present invention also relates to an upper for shoes with advanced technical characteristics which comprises a first and a second part of the upper 1 , each formed by a group of needles 3 which work with a maximum number equal to the number of the needles present in a needle-bearing cylinder 5 of a circular knitting machine, not represented.
  • the process for making an upper for shoes comprises the following steps: during the movement between successive reversals in the knitting machine, knitting the first part 1 a of the upper having a perimeter edge 100 simultaneously with a group of needles 3 of the machine having an overall number of needles in a tuck stitch or loop position or in a plain drop stitch position or in a missed stitch position, which may vary up to the number of needles present in the machine; and, during the movement between successive reversals in the knitting machine, knitting the second part 1 b of the upper having a perimeter edge 101 simultaneously with a group of needles 3 of the machine having an overall number of needles in a tuck stitch or loop position or in a plain drop stitch position or in a missed stitch position, which may vary up to the number of needles present in the machine.
  • the second part 1 b of the upper is knitted before or after the first part 1 a of the upper and the complete upper is unloaded from the machine with the connection of the perimeter edge 100 of the first part 1 a to the perimeter edge 101 of the second part 1 b having already been made simultaneously with the formation thereof.
  • the first part 1 a is knitted subsequently but during knitting of the first part 1 a the perimeter edge 100 under construction of the first part 1 a is connected to the perimeter edge 101 of the previously knitted second part 1 b.
  • the second part 1 b is knitted subsequently but during knitting of the second part 1 b the perimeter edge 101 under construction of the second part 1 b is connected to the perimeter edge 100 of the previously knitted first part 1 a.
  • each part 1 a , 1 b it is possible to use, with the exception of the needles 3 necessary for the connection between the perimeter edges 100 and 101 of the first part 1 a and of the second part 1 b , all of the remaining needles 3 present in machine; the knit stitches in each row of each part 1 a , 1 b may vary up to almost the number of needles present in machine.
  • each pair of homologous rows of knit stitches of the two parts 1 a and 1 b can have an overall number of knit stitches that is greater than the number of needles present in machine, and in particular up to almost double the number of needles present in machine.
  • Each part 1 a and 1 b can be entirely made by reversing the movement of the machine, in particular by reversing the direction of rotation of the cylinder in a circular machine or the direction of translation of the carriage in a rectilinear machine, every time that the formation of one row of knit stitches begins and the formation of the subsequent row of knit stitches ends.
  • all the rows of knit stitches in each part 1 a and 1 b will have an open conformation. In this case, it is moreover possible to avoid the formation of the opening in the second part 1 b and consequently the seam 90 .
  • an area 102 , 103 in at least one part 1 a and 1 b is made without reversing the movement of the machine in order to form some rows that will thus have a closed loop conformation.
  • the upper to be made is small in size and does not require the use of more than half of the needles 3 present in the machine, it is possible to knit in parallel two uppers in opposite parts of the cylinder of the circular machine or of the carriage of the rectilinear machine.
  • the materials used, as well as the dimensions, may be of any type according to needs and the state of the art.
