Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements of an upper material for shoes, mainly for athletic shoes.
  • the principal object of the present invention is to provide a hygienic upper material having high tensile strength, abrasion resistance, satisfactory ventilating qualities but no moisture-absorbent properties to thereby obtain shoes which are suitable for athletic use and comfortable to put Described further in detail, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel upper material woven or knit of string members which are made of rigid synthetic resin material such as polyamide resin, polyester resin or the like by forming said resin material into a rolled-up or folded structure having a number of layers whereby shoes, as above described, having durability and wearing comfort are to be obtained.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a portion of a film sheet made of a synthetic resin to be formed into an upper material in accordance with the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing string members formed of the above-mentioned film sheet, a and [2 illustrating such members with no twist provided thereto, 0 showing said member with twist provided thereto;
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view showing a portion of an upper material woven or knit of said string member in accordance with the present invention
  • FIG. 4 is a side view in elevation showing an example of an athletic shoe constructed of an upper material in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view showing an upper material of the present invention as cut into a desired shape for making the above-mentioned shoe.
  • a film sheet 1 to be formed into the upper material in accordance with the present invention is made of a rigid synthetic resin such as polyamide resin, polyester resin or the like in the form of a thin, wide strip.
  • a rigid synthetic resin such as polyamide resin, polyester resin or the like in the form of a thin, wide strip.
  • said film sheet 1 is rolled up upon itself over and over (see FIG. 2a), or folded into a number of layers thereafter being compressed (see FIG. 2b), further, if desired, being suitably twisted (see FIG. 20), whereby a string member (a) is constructed.
  • the upper material A in accordance with the present invention is knit or woven of the string members (a) having the above described structure.
  • ventilating apertures C provided by the meshes formed by the woven or knit string members are larger than those in the texture of already known woven or knit cloth, so that ventilation is satisfactorily effected, with perspiration and the like efficiently exhaled to the outside and without resulting in clogging-up of said apertures by perspiration, dust and the like substances mixed therewith. Permanent ventilation is thus provided to keep the shoe comfortable to wear.
  • the upper material a of the invention being provided with no moisture absorbing qualities because of the structural reason, dries quickly when washed, and stains, without being fixed to the texture, are readily removed. By washing, accordingly, clean shoes with wearing comfort are always ready for use.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show an example of an athletic shoe made by utilizing the upper material A in accordance with the present invention.
  • the athletic shoe B comprises a pair of upper members 2 and 2 and a backing member 3 which are formed by cutting said upper material A into a desired shape, a sole 4 of a suitable material to which said upper members 2 and 2 are integrally fastened by such means as by sewing or fusing, a toe cap reinforcing member 5 covering and reinforcing the seamed part in the toe cap portion of said upper members 2 and 2, side reinforcing members 6 ornamenting and stengthening the side portions of said upper members 2 and 2, and a counter reinforcing member 7 covering and strengthening the seamed part in the counter portion of said upper members.
  • a reinforcing sheet 10 which is provided with eyelets 9 therein.
  • the upper members 2 and 2 are formed of the upper material A having -a specific structure as already detailed, so that, in addition to aforementioned advantages such as excellent ventilating and quick-drying qualities, wearing comfort and others, the shoe is, as a whole, provided with high tensile strength and relatively low elasticity. Therefore, when a fastening force is applied thereon by pulling a shoe lace passing through the eyelets 9 in the upper, said upper does not stretch in response to the fastening force. In this way the fastening force exerted by said shoe lace is fully effected thereby providing application of the shoe snug on the foot.
  • the shoe in accordance with the present invention can be comfortably used in taking hard physical exercises attendant on racing, jumping or other athletic sports.
  • said upper material woven or knit of said string member can be made with a desired thickness.
  • An athletic shoe having an upper, a sole, spikes provided on the back of the sole, and reinforcing members provided on the outer surfaces of the upper, the upper comprising a pair of half-upper members secured together, each half-upper member being woven fabric provided by warp string members and Weft string members woven by plane weave interlacing to provide ventilating apertures therebetween, each of said warp and weft string members being made of rigid synthetic resin film sheet rolled upon itself, said reinforcing members including a toe cap reinforcing member secured to the toe cap portion of said half-upper members, lateral side reinforcing members secured to side portions of the halfupper members, and a counter reinforcing member secured to the counter portions of said half-upper members.
