As what see in Figure 1A, composite pad material 15 covers the lateral surface of footwear middle part and footwear front portion.Particularly, composite pad material 15 on lateral surface from below the top 20 of footwear sole construction 12 start to extend, in the lateral side regions of footwear middle part and footwear front portion, extend, and at the lateral surface downward-extension of eyelet reinforcing band 21.The rear outside face of composite pad material 15 is at anterior outer ledge 22 downward-extensions of foxing pad material 16.As shown in Figure 1B, composite pad material 15 also covers wearer's Forefoot and the medial surface at foot middle part.Be similar to lateral surface, the medial surface of composite pad material 15 starts to extend from the top 20 of below footwear sole construction 12, in the lateral side regions of footwear middle part and footwear front portion, extend, and at reinforcing band 21 downward-extensions.The posterior medial face of composite pad material 15 is at the anterior inside edge of foxing pad material 16 26 downward-extensions.As what see in Fig. 1 C, other parts of composite pad material 15 cover the top of toe.Composite pad material 15 extends to toe-cap 25 times and extends under the front portion of reinforcing band 21.
Except external cladding material 19, composite pad material 15 comprises backing 29 and moulding element 31,32,33 and 34.Just as explained in more detail below, composite pad material 15 forms by external cladding material 19 and moulding element 31-34 are attached to backing 29.Moulding element 31-34 is positioned between the external cladding material 19 and backing 29 in composite pad material 15.As what see in Figure 1A-1C, backing 29 only extends in the finite region of composite pad material 15.Opening in backing 29 by portion of external pad material 19 across and defined the many ventilation windows in vamp 11.Toe ventilation window 36 substantially corresponding to second until the top of the 5th proximal phalanges and middle-end phalanx, at least a portion corresponding to the top of first proximal phalanges, corresponding to first until the top of the far-end of the 5th metatarsal, corresponding to the medial surface of first proximal phalanges and first metatarsal bone far-end and corresponding to the lateral surface of fifth metatarsal bone far-end and the 5th proximal phalanges.3 ventilation window 37-39 are positioned on medial surface (Figure 1B) and other 3 ventilation window 40-42 are positioned on lateral surface.
In the embodiment of footwear 10, each in moulding element 31-34 has down " V " shape.As shown in Figure 1B, moulding element 31 is between the band 51 and 52 exterior face and the inside face of external cladding material 19 of backing element 29.Moulding element 32 is between the band 53 and 54 exterior face and the inside face of external cladding material 19 of backing element 29.As what see in Figure 1A, moulding element 33 is between the band 55 and 56 exterior face and the inside face of external cladding material 19 of backing element 29.Moulding element 34 is between the band 57 and 58 exterior face and the inside face of external cladding material 19 of backing element 29.
In the embodiment of footwear 10, vamp 11 does not comprise " interior boots " or other liners in the region of composite pad material 15.Thereby, do not exist anything to make the inside face of the foot of wearing socks of wearer W and the part across window 36-42 of external cladding material 19 separated.Like this, can realize stronger ventilation.The liner that can comprise in other embodiments, interior boots or other types.
Fig. 2 be the position structure that see and that shown composite pad material 15 of indicating from Figure 1A amplification, the schematic region cross-sectional view of part.Backing 29 is positioned in the inside face of vamp 11.Moulding element 33 and external cladding material 19 are incorporated into the exterior face of backing 29.External cladding material 19 can also be incorporated into the outer surface of moulding element 33 and be attached to the outer surface of moulding element 31,32 and 34.Selectively, the interface between external cladding material 19 and the outer surface of moulding element 31-34 can not have glue or other bonding agents.
The external cladding material 19 moulding element 33 of fitting tightly.Tension force in external cladding material 19 causes external cladding material 19 to apply inside pressure to moulding element 33.This causes moulding element 33 slightly to compress and the outward flange (for example, edge e1) of moulding element becomes circle.External cladding material 19 is incorporated into the part around moulding element 33 of the band 55 of backing 29, wherein pads combination between material 19 and band 55 and extends to the inward flange e2 that moulding element 33 wherein runs into band 55.External cladding material 19 is bonded to similarly the part around moulding element 33 of band 56 and is bonded to the part around other moulding elements of other bands.Thereby, external cladding material 19 with Fig. 2 in the similar mode that shows fit tightly other parts and the moulding element 31,32 and 34 of moulding element 33.
In the embodiment of footwear 10, moulding element 31-34 is obviously thick than backing 29 and external cladding material 19.In some embodiments, the thickness T C of moulding element 31-34 is equal to or greater than the thickness T B of backing 29 and is equal to or greater than the thickness T O of external cladding material 19.In certain embodiments, the thickness of moulding element is equal to or greater than the combination thickness (that is, TC >=TB+TO) of backing and external cladding material.
Although the pad material 19 of composite pad material 15 is called as " external cladding material ", pad the outmost pad material that material 19 needs not to be composite pad material 15.In the embodiment of footwear 10, the some parts of the outer surface of external cladding material 19 is covered by toe-cap 25 and reinforcing band 21.Other parts are covered by foxing pad material 16.Miscellaneous part also can be attached in other parts of exterior face of external cladding material 19.Similarly, backing 19 needs not to be the innermost parts of composite pad material 15.In addition, moulding element 33 needn't directly be attached to backing 29.In some embodiments, for example, pad material in addition, hardening thing or some other elements can be placed between the inside face of moulding element and the exterior face of backing.
Structure shown in Fig. 2 has been given some advantages.Conventionally be desirably in the vamp of footwear and comprise the ridge of protuberance or the surface profile of other types.Such profile can have aesthetics and/or functional purpose.For example, the district that thickness increases can provide extra support and/or extra buffering in some region.Yet, when using the light material of net and other types, increase surface profile and have some challenge.It may be difficult in mesh material that moulding element is sewn onto, especially true for having the net of how uncovered Weaving pattern.And sew application may be consuming time and expensive, and thereby conventionally expect to make required stitching amount minimum.
By moulding combination of elements or be sewn onto net or the outside of other lightweight vamp materials also may have problems.Attached moulding element may be easy to separation by this way.If the interface between moulding element and the exterior face of vamp is exposed, when exterior object is touched in wearer's foot wiping, this interface may be broken by hook so.Therefore, moulding element may start separated with vamp.Yet, concerning the structure shown in Fig. 2, moulding element and backing 29(edge e2) between interface be subject to the protection of external cladding material 29.By moulding element being positioned in the inside face of light material and making this material those moulding elements of fitting tightly, there is the separation of lower possibility.Therefore, moulding element is attached in mode more firmly.
The outer surface that simply moulding element is attached to net pad material also has other inferior positions.Like this attached is unsatisfactory and produce the vamp with unfinished and/or shabby outward appearance from attractive in appearance.Make net or other lightweight pad materials laminating moulding element allow to produce the vamp with more refining overall appearance.For example, extend spread all over the net-like pattern of most of vamp can be by imbrication to moulding element.This contributes to make other partial fusion of moulding element and vamp.In addition, the tension force of the lip-deep mesh material of moulding element can contribute to make the edge deliquescing of moulding element and give the outward appearance that moulding element is more mellow and fuller.
Fig. 3 A1 has shown according to the method for the composite pad material 15 of the manufacture vamp 11 of at least some embodiments to 3G.In the first step showing in Fig. 3 A1, backing 29 is placed on assembling jig 60.Fixture 60 comprises flat surface 61, and this surface 61 has from surface 61 vertically extending a plurality of pins 62.In the top plan view of Fig. 3 A1, pin 62 planes of extending accompanying drawing.For the unlabelled eyelet hole showing in pin 62 and backing 29 is distinguished, the circle expression that the top of pin 62 is filled by black.
When these parts are added in parts heap to be assembled on surface 61, each pin 62 is pushed through the interior corresponding hole of one or more parts of composite pad material 15.This allows these parts to be relative to each other positioned properly.In Fig. 3 A1, by backing 29 being pushed on surface 61, backing 29 is set, make pin 62 be pushed through the corresponding location hole in backing 29.Fig. 3 A2 is the fixture 60 seen from position shown in Fig. 3 A1 and the side view of backing 29.Backing 29 has been placed on surface 61 and pin 62 extends upward through backing 29 from surface 61.
As previously mentioned, backing 29 comprises the inner boundary 65 around flap opening 47.Lateral surface band 55-58 and medial surface band 51-54 in Fig. 3 A1, have also been seen.Ventilation window 36-42 is also visible in Fig. 3 A1.The surface 66 of backing 29 is by the exterior face of backing 29 in the vamp that has been.
Being permitted eurypalynous material can be for backing 29.In the embodiment of footwear 10, backing 29 is to have the polyester woven materials that is applied in advance the non-activated hot melt bonding agent layer on surface 66.In other embodiments, back lining materials can not comprise the hot flux layer of application in advance.On the contrary, at backing 29, be placed in after fixture 60, the independent layer with the hot melt bonding agent material identical shaped with backing 29 can be placed on surface 66.In some embodiments, backing can have the thickness (TB seeing from Fig. 2) of approximately 0.5 millimeter.
In following step, and as shown in Figure 3 B, pre-cut moulding element 31,32,33 and 34 is placed on the correct position on the part surface 66 of backing 29.Particularly, by moulding element being pushed on surface 66, each in moulding element 31-34 is set, makes suitable some in pin 62 be pushed through corresponding location hole in moulding element.In the embodiment of footwear 10, each in moulding element 31-34 is formed by synthetic leather and has the thickness (TC seeing from Fig. 2) approximately 1 millimeter to approximately 3 millimeters.In some embodiments, the outer surface of moulding element 31-34 can have the non-activated hot melt bonding agent layer of application in advance.In other embodiments, the independent parts that have a hot melt bonding agent material identical shaped with moulding element can be placed on the outer surface of moulding element.In other other embodiment, between the outer surface of moulding element and the part that contacts those moulding element outer surfaces of the inner surface of external cladding material 19, there is not hot melt bonding agent.
In step subsequently and as shown in Figure 3 C, by external cladding material 19 is pushed on fixture 60 and makes external cladding material 19 in suitable position, make pin 62 be pushed through the corresponding hole in external cladding material 19.In the embodiment of footwear 10, external cladding material 19 is the relatively thin nets (as having about 1mm or less opening) that formed by the synthetic material weaving.Other embodiments have adopted the fabric of flexible porous of other types for external cladding material 19.The flexible porous fabric of such other types can comprise for example by synthetic material and/or non-synthetic material, formed and/or there are more carefully or the braiding of thicker net-like pattern and non-woven mesh thing, various types of textile material and other porous materials.
When the step shown in Fig. 3 C finishes, backing 29, moulding element 31-34 and external cladding material 19 have been assembled in heaps 70 and be assembled on fixture 60.In this stage, the single parts of heap 70 are not also bonded to each other.If take off heap 70 from fixture 60 under unconjugated condition, need so careful so that parts remain in the relative position of their expectations.In step subsequently and as shown in Fig. 3 D1, fixture 60 is placed in the pressing plate 72 times of heating, as a part for the first pressing operation.As shown in Fig. 3 D2, by pressing plate 72, apply enough heat and pressure to activate at least partly the hot melt bonding agent on backing 29.This causes backing 29, moulding element 31-34 and the 29 part combinations of external cladding material, and this,, taking off heap from fixture 60 at 70 o'clock, temporarily allows the still configuration in assembling of these parts.Although be not presented in Fig. 3 D1 or 3D2, pressing plate 72 can comprise corresponding to pin 61 and hold hole or the depressed part of pin 61.
Material type based on used is changed to temperature, pressure and the press time for the first pressing operation of Fig. 3 D1.In adopting some embodiments of above-mentioned exemplary materials, the parts that assemble pile up 150 ℃ and 100kg/cm
2under be pressed approximately 15 seconds.For dissimilar material, realize the suitable compacting parameter of part parts combination and can easily by those skilled in the art, be determined.As an example only, parts sample to be used can be assembled and stand above-mentioned compacting parameter.If produce inadequate part combination, so extra sample assembly can be produced and with higher gradually temperature (for example raising with 5 ℃ of increments) and or pressure (for example, with 2kg/cm
2increment increases) be pressed, until obtain the result (being enough to the part combination that holding member is arranged before the second compacting) of expectation.
In the step subsequently shown in Fig. 3 E1, from fixture 60, take off the heap 70 of part combination and be placed on the heat transfer silicone pad 73 lower platen 74 of heating of the second press.Heat transfer silicone pad 75 is in addition attached to the top board 76 of the heating of this press.Sheet release liners (not shown) can be placed between the heap 70 and pad 73 and 75 of part combination.The heap 70 of part combination is pressed (Fig. 3 E2) subsequently between pressing plate 74 and 76. Pressing plate 74 and 76 heat are passed to heap 70 by padding 73 and 75.Yet, because pad 73 and 75 can Partial shrinkage, thus external cladding material 19 can be pressed into fit tightly backing element 29 and moulding element 31-34(example as shown in Figure 2).
Also the material type based on used is changed to temperature, pressure and the press time of the second pressing operation of Fig. 3 E2.In adopting some embodiments of above-mentioned exemplary backing, moulding element and external cladding material material, the heap 70 of part combination is at 150 ℃ and 35 to 40kg/cm
2lower to approximate compacting 30 seconds.For dissimilar material, realize the suitable compacting parameter (as shown in Figure 2) of parts combination completely and can easily by those skilled in the art, be determined.As an example only, after determining the technological parameter of the first compacting as above, the sample of the parts of part combination can be produced and be stood above-mentioned the second compacting parameter (for example, 150 ℃, 35-40kg/cm
2, approximately 30 seconds).If produce net and backing and the inadequate combination of moulding element or inadequate laminating, the sample of the parts of so extra part combination can be produced and with higher gradually temperature (for example, with 5 ℃ of increments, raise) and/or pressure (for example,, with 2kg/cm
2increment increases) and/or the time period (for example, extending with the increments of 5 seconds) extending be pressed, until obtain the result (complete conformal combination between net and backing and moulding element) of expectation.
When the second pressing operation finishes, heap 70 has been transformed into composite pad material 15.External cladding material 19 is incorporated into backing 29 and fits tightly moulding element 31-34.Fig. 3 F has shown the composite pad material 15 after the press of Fig. 3 E1 and 3E2 takes off.Although the view at Fig. 3 F is sightless, composite pad material 15 has the profile corresponding to moulding element 31-34.Especially, external cladding material 19 is incorporated into backing 29 and to be similar to the fit outer surface of each moulding element 31-34 of the mode shown in Fig. 2, produces thus the element of the protuberance on the outer surface of the vamp being positioned at.
Next and as shown in Fig. 3 G, toe-cap 25 and strengthen pad material 21 and be attached to composite pad material 15.In some embodiments, toe-cap 25 and enhancing pad material 21 are sewn in place.Eyelet hole in pad material 21 and the corresponding eyelet hole aligning in backing 29.The part of the eyelet hole in the covering backing 29 of net 19 can be eliminated in punch operation (not shown).In some embodiments, pad material 21 and toe-cap 25 can be glued onto or otherwise be attached to composite pad material 15.For example, pad material 21 and toe-cap 25 can comprise non-activated hotmelt material layer and in hot press, be incorporated into composite pad material 15 in their inside face.In other other embodiment, pad material 21 and/or toe-cap 25 can be assembled (for example, in the step between the step shown in Fig. 3 C and 3D1), then combination in the first and second pressing steps with together with the parts of composite pad material 15.In the embodiment of footwear 10, pad material 21 and toe-cap 25 are formed by synthetic leather.In at least some embodiments, pad material 21 and/or toe-cap 25 can for example, be formed by one or more other materials (, natural leather, polyurethane (PU), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), mesh material etc.).
