Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a waterproof footwear, and in particular to a shoe or a boot with a waterproof upper and a sole made of a plastic or rubber material.
  • the present invention also relates to a process for manufacturing said footwear.
  • Known waterproof footwear comprise a sole which is injection-molded together with an insole sewn with the lower edges of an upper and of a protective lining comprising one or more fabric layers coupled with one or more semipe ⁇ neable membranes, i.e. membranes which can be crossed by steam, not by water.
  • the upper especially if made of leather, may absorb water which therefore penetrates therein through the seam with the insole, thereby going round the protective lining.
  • US patent 4899465 discloses a waterproof footwear, the upper of which is joined to the insole by means of a perforated portion or a net tape, so that during the sole molding a portion of plastic or rubber material separates the upper from the insole, thereby preventing the water from passing through them.
  • the water may cross the upper, so as to be absorbed by the outer fabric of the lining and pass, also if in a reduced way, inside the footwear through the seam of the insole.
  • it is relatively complex to carry out the holes in the upper and the net tape is quite wide and rigid, so that it hampers the sole bending.
  • US patent 5505011 discloses a waterproof footwear similar to the previous one, with the exception of the lower edge of the upper, which is not perforated or provided with nets, but is directly glued to the protective lining, which is prolonged up to the insole and is sewn to the latter.
  • this known footwear very small quantities of water filter through the upper and may stagnate in the interspace between lining and upper. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a waterproof footwear which is free from said disadvantages. Said object is achieved with a footwear and a process for its manufacture, the main features of which are specified in claims 1 and 10, respectively, while other features are specified in the subsequent claims.
  • the footwear according to the present invention is perfectly waterproof not only over all the surface of the upper, but also along its lower edge.
  • the footwear according to the present invention does not necessarily require the use of a protective lining, which can be sewn anyway to the insole, if desired, without any risk of water seepages.
  • the semipermeable membrane is joined to the upper by means of a glue pattern, so that it does not hamper the steam crossing.
  • the waterproof tape is preferably provided with a layer of thermo-active glue, as those already employed in the textile industry, so that the footwear manufacturing through the process according to the present invention becomes faster, simpler and cheaper.
  • figure 1 shows a partial cross-section view of a footwear manufactured with the process according to such embodiment.
  • the waterproof footwear according to the present embodiment of the invention comprises in a known way a sole 1 of a plastic or rubber material, which is joined to an insole 2 arranged above sole 1 and to a welt 3.
  • the latter is preferably made in a single piece with sole 1 and encloses the lower edge of an upper 4 and of an inner lining 5, if present.
  • the inner surface of upper 4 is lined by a waterproof or semipermeable membrane 6, whose surface turned toward upper 4 is preferably provided with a pattern of glue, in particular thermo-active, so as to be hot-laminated through a process as the one described in the PCT application WO 00/22948 in the name of the same applicant.
  • membrane 6 is semipermeable, i.e. suitable for preventing water, not steam, from going through, and preferably comprises a sheet of polyurethane, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyester or other polymeric materials, which is non- porous and has a thickness comprised between 5 ⁇ m and 100 ⁇ m, so as to let the steam go through by osmosis.
  • the portion 8 of the wate ⁇ roof tape 7 glued onto membrane 6 of upper 4 is 7 to 10 mm wide, while lining 5, if any, can be sewn to insole 2 with the same seam 9 which joins the waterproof tape 7 to insole 2.
  • the wate ⁇ roof tape 7 is 15 to 20 mm wide and is preferably already provided with a layer of thermo-active glue, so that it can be hot-glued.
  • the glue can also act as wate ⁇ roofer for a tape which is not wate ⁇ roof by itself.
  • upper 4 is internally lined by the semipermeable membrane 6, after which the wate ⁇ roof tape 7 is glued to its lower edge and sewn to insole 2 with lining 5, if desired.
  • insole 2 joined to upper 4 is inserted into a mould in which melted plastic or rubber material is injected. The latter, by solidifying in the mould, forms sole 1 under insole 2 and welt 3 around the lower edge of upper 4 and around the portion of wate ⁇ roof tape 7 comprised between the lower edge of upper 4 and insole 2.
