Specific embodiment

Following discussion and accompanying drawing disclose the article of footwear with the vamp including net materials.Net materials may include tensile cord Element.Article of footwear is disclosed as with the general construction for being suitable for various pursuits.The concept related to footwear (including vamp) Various other athletic footwear styles can be also applied to, such as including spike, basketball shoes, cross-training footwear, bicycle shoes, olive Olive sneakers, tennis shoes, football boot and nailed climbing boots.Concept applies also for the footwear types for being generally considered to be non-athletic, including Dress shoes, slippers, sandals and brogan.Therefore, concept disclosed herein is applied to various footwear types.However, net materials can It is used for various other products, it may for example comprise knapsack and other bags and clothing (e.g., trousers, shirt, headwear).Therefore, it is public herein The concept opened can be applicable to multiple product.

Conventional vamp can be formed by various material layers, and which each can give different properties to the zones of different of vamp. In use, vamp can experience significant pulling force, and one or more material layers be positioned in the region of vamp with Opposing pulling force.That is, the specific part that each layer can be incorporated into vamp is produced during the use of footwear with resisting Pulling force.For example, fabric can be incorporated in vamp to give enhanced stretch resistance in a longitudinal direction.Such fabric can be, For example, the braided fabric for being formed by the yarn of intertexture at right angles to each other.If braided fabric is for the purpose of longitudinal stretching resistance And be incorporated in vamp, then the yarn for only orienting in a longitudinal direction will be helpful to longitudinal stretching resistance, and with it is vertical Longitudinal stretching resistance will not typically be contributed to the orthogonal directed yarn in direction.Therefore, it is approximately half of in braided fabric Yarn is unnecessary for longitudinal stretching resistance.

Used as the extension of this example, the degree of the enhanced stretch resistance wanted needed for the zones of different in vamp can change. The enhanced stretch resistance that some regions of vamp need relative high degree by these region power for being undergone, and its of vamp Its region may need relatively low degree of enhanced stretch resistance.Because braided fabric can need high level enhanced stretch resistance and low degree Used in the region of both enhanced stretch resistance, so some in the yarn in braided fabric may need the stretching of low degree It is unnecessary in the region of resistance.In this illustration, it is not necessary to yarn increased the total quality of footwear, without increasing Plus the favorable property to footwear.Similar concept is applied to other materials, such as leather and polymer sheet, and these other materials can For wearability, flexibility, breathability, buffer and perspire in one or more.

Based on described above, there may be not significantly tribute for the material in the conventional vamp formed by multilayer material layer Offer the desirable properties in vamp but increase the unnecessary portion of the overall weight of article of footwear.With regard to enhanced stretch resistance, for example, layer There can be a material for giving following property, (a) large number of enhanced stretch resistance direction, or (b) is than needing or desired big The enhanced stretch resistance of degree.Therefore, the unnecessary portion of these materials can increase the total quality of footwear without contributing favorably Property.

A kind of method for solving these problems is that tension kind of thread elements is attached in vamp to provide intensity and drawing to vamp Stretch resistance.U. S. application the 12/362,371st that the use of such tension kind of thread elements was submitted on January 29th, 1, The U. S. application the 12/419th that the U. S. application the 12/419,985th of the submission of on April 7th, 2009, on April 7th, 2009 submit to, No. 987, the U. S. application the submitted to for 24th of the U. S. application the 12/546,017th submitted to for 24th of August in 2009, August in 2009 No. 12/546,019, U.S. for submitting to of the U. S. application the 12/546,022nd submitted to for 24th of August in 2009, on July 30th, 2010 State applies for discussion in the U. S. application the 13/196th, 365 that the 12/847th, No. 836 and August in 2011 are submitted on the 2nd, its respective evidence This is incorporated to entire contents by reference.

Conventional tension kind of thread elements includes thering is relatively high-tensile line.Return to the example of Figure 24, conventional tension Kind of thread elements 40 may include there is relatively high-tensile line 34, and the line 34 strengthens the enhanced stretch resistance of kind of thread elements 40.Tensile cord Element 40 can be incorporated in the layer of vamp to strengthen intensity and give vamp enhanced stretch resistance, simultaneously because tension kind of thread elements The shape of elongated and opposite, narrow and utilize less material.

In order to keep the position of line, conventional tension kind of thread elements that line can be positioned at for making what line was held in place by Between bi-material, covering or layer.The example of such material, covering or layer was submitted on January 29th, 1 U. S. application the 12/362,371st, the U. S. application the 12/419,985th of the submission of on April 7th, 2009, on April 7th, 2009 The U. S. application that the U. S. application of submission the 12/419,987th, August in 2009 are submitted on the 24th No. 12/546,017,2009 The U. S. application the 12/546,019th of August submission on the 24th, the U. S. application the 12/546,022nd of the submission on the 24th of August in 2009 Number, the U. S. application the 13/th submitted to for 2nd of the U. S. application the 12/847,836th submitted to of on July 30th, 2010 and August in 2011 Discuss in 196, No. 365, which is each incorporated to entire contents accordingly by way of reference.Figure 25 is returned to, which is the anti-of Figure 24 The zoomed-in view in the region 25 of bracing wire element 40, tension kind of thread elements 40 may include basal layer 41 and coating 42, its 34 quilt of center line It is positioned between basal layer 41 and coating 42.Figure 26 shows the exploded view of the embodiment of Figure 25 and also illustrates line 34 How to be positioned between basal layer 41 and coating 42.Line 34 can extend parallel to the surface of basal layer 41 and coating 42.By In the surface for being arranged essentially parallel to basal layer 41 and coating 42, line 34 is resisted on the surface pair with basal layer 41 and coating 42 The stretching on direction answered.

Line 34 can be formed by any general one-dimensional material.Such as with regard to used in the present invention, term " one-dimensional material " or Its deformation is intended to include generally oblong material which shows substantially big than width and thickness length.Correspondingly, it is suitable for The material of line 34 includes (e.g., right by artificial silk, nylon, polyester, polyacrylic, silk, cotton, carbon, glass, aromatic polyamides Position aramid fibre and meta-aramid fiber), ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, liquid crystal polymer, copper, aluminum and steel shape Into various silks, fiber, yarn, thread, cable or rope.Such material can provide relatively high tensile strength, its enhancing The enhanced stretch resistance of the material is incorporated in by line 34.Silk has uncertain length and may be used alone as line 34, and Fiber has relatively short length and is commonly subjected to spinning process or twisting process to produce the line of appropriate length.

Single silk in for line 34 can be formed or (that is, double by multiple material by homogenous material (that is, one-component silk) Component silk) formed.Similarly, different silks can be formed by different materials.For example, the yarn as line 34 may include each freedom The silk that common material is formed, it may include the silk that each freedom two or more different materials are formed, or may include each freedom two The silk that kind or more kinds of different materials are formed.Similar concept is also applied to thread, cable or rope.The thickness of line 34 can also be For example from 0.03 millimeter to the scope significant changes more than 5 millimeters.Although one-dimensional material could generally have width and thickness is basic Upper equal cross section (e.g., circular or foursquare cross section), but some one-dimensional materials can have the width more than thickness (e.g., rectangle, ellipse, or other elongated cross sections).

Line can be used for the property for changing the article of footwear in addition to enhanced stretch resistance.For example, line is can be used in vamp Extra wearability is provided in specific region.For example, line can be concentrated in the region of the experience abrasion of vamp, such as in vamp Concentrate in footwear front area and at adjacent sole structure.If being used for wearability, line may be selected from relatively high wearability is presented The material of matter.Line may be additionally used for the bending features for changing vamp.For example, the region of the line with relatively high concentration may be than tool The degree for having the region bends of the line of relatively low concentration less.Similarly, the region of the line with relatively high concentration may be than tool There is the breathability in the region of the line of relatively low concentration little.Additionally, line can be used to for vamp to be connected or attached to footwear sole construction, while Using the weight lighter than conventional upper, the conventional upper is using the leather for being for example connected to footwear sole construction or other fabric panels. Line can also strengthen this connection between vamp and footwear sole construction.

Footwear sole construction can be fixed in the low portion of vamp to be positioned between foot and ground.In sport footwear In, for example, footwear sole construction includes midsole and footwear outer bottom.Midsole can be formed by polymer foams, the polymerization Thing foamed materialss weaken the ground reaction force (i.e., there is provided buffering) during walking, running and other locomotor activities.Sole Interlayer may also include fluid-filled chamber, plate, actuator, or for example further weaken power, enhanced stability or affect the fortune of foot Other dynamic element.Footwear outer bottom forms the ground-contacting elements of footwear and generally adheres to frictional force resistance to give by including texture With and wear-resisting elastomeric material formed.Footwear sole construction may also include and be positioned in vamp and press close to the lower surface of foot to strengthen footwear The shoe pad of the comfort level of class.

In conventional design, tension kind of thread elements can be provided as single element, such as single silk, yarn or line, its On the top of the basal layer for being placed on vamp.In order to ensure tension kind of thread elements is held in place by, articulamentum or other are solid Determine element tension kind of thread elements can be combined, fix or be otherwise connected to basal layer.According to an example, thermoplastic poly The piece of compound can be located between line and basal layer and be heated to combine line and basal layer.Shown according to another Example, connecting element or retaining element can be the pieces or fabric of thermoplastic polymer, for example, extend on its online and basal layer So that line and basal layer to be combined.Such piece can be used as a part for the outer surface or exposed surface to form vamp again The combination of coating, wherein basal layer, line and emulsion sheet provides the substantially all of the thickness of vamp in some regions.Another In one example, connecting element or other retaining elements can be the binding agents for combining line and basal layer.At other In example, extra single thread is sewn on online so that tension kind of thread elements is fixed to basal layer.Therefore, Duo Zhongjie Structure and method can be used for for line being fixed to following basal layer.

Although the tension kind of thread elements of routine provides the performance of high level, such as, by the enhanced stretch resistance for strengthening vamp, The method for being used for tension kind of thread elements is attached in vamp can provide for fashion the and exhilarating footwear of some purposes Class article.For example, by the joint line 34 between basal layer 41 and coating 42, produce with high-performance and use for moving Way but be not necessarily used for lie fallow purposes style article of footwear.A kind of article of footwear of offer, the high property of its offer are provided Can level, but for multiple use (such as Sport Utility and leisure both purposes) be also fashion and make us happy 's.

According to embodiment, line can be incorporated in net materials.Net materials may include high-tensile line and not have height The combination of the non-high-tensile line of tensile strength.For example, can not intersect with high-tensile line with high-tensile line. Can advantageously provide and make high-tensile line be remained substantially in correct position while also providing increasing including the net of the pattern of reticule The structure of epistasis energy.Therefore, net materials may include high-tensile line, and the high-tensile line strengthens the intensity of net and stretching Resistance, but do not need basal layer and coating to maintain the position of high-tensile line.Such net advantageously can be breathed freely And flexibility, but also with relatively high intensity and limited stretching.Except advantageously providing enhanced performance and material Outside saving, net materials may also provide the pattern of fashion.

Fig. 1 shows the net 10 including first group 25 of high-tensile line.According to embodiment, high-tensile line May include different number of tensile strength line for first group 25.Number to the tensile strength line of the high-tensile line options of given group Mesh for example can be selected according to the desired intensity and/or enhanced stretch resistance of net 10.For example, first group 25 of high-tensile line can Including the first high-tensile line 21, the second high-tensile line 22, the 3rd high-tensile line 23 and the 4th high-tensile Line 24, although first group 25 of high-tensile line may include the high-tensile line of other numbers.High-tensile line can be with It is made of with the 34 identical form of line used in conventional tension kind of thread elements discussed above 40 and can be by identical material.Example Such as, first group 25 of high-tensile line can be high-tensile nylon.It is due to the tensile property of high-tensile line, high First group 25 of tensile strength line can be used for the intensity for increasing net 10 and the enhanced stretch resistance for strengthening net 10.

Net 10 may include second group 34 of line, and its first group 25 with high-tensile line intersects.According to embodiment, line Second group 34 may include different number of line.For example, the number of second group of 34 line for selecting of line can be selected as providing Enough lines of number are intersecting with high-tensile line and make high-tensile line to be remained substantially in correct position.For example, May include First Line 31, the second line 32 and the 3rd line 33 for two group 34, although second group of 34 line that may include other numbers.

Line in second group 34 of line can be with right and wrong high-tensile line.For example, the line in second group 34 can be with not With form and/or be made up of the material different from the high-tensile line in first group 25.For example, non-high-tensile line, Line in such as second group 34, can be made up of polyester.In another example, non-high-tensile line can be by 60% polyester The mixture of 40% polyester 150D is made.In another example, when net 10 includes high-tensile line and non-high-tensile During line, net 10 can be made from a variety of materials, and these materials can be according to selecting to 10 desired intensity of net and enhanced stretch resistance.

Line in second group 34 need not strengthen the intensity and enhanced stretch resistance of net 10 to the enhanced degree of high-tensile line.So And, the line in second group 34 can intersect and provide the high tensile made in first group 25 with the high-tensile line in first group 25 Intensity line is remained substantially in the web frame of correct position.For example, the line in second group 34 can be formed and be resisted with the height in first group 25 The web frame of tensile strength line interlocking, the web frame of the interlocking limit first group 25 in high-tensile line movement.

According to embodiment, net 10 may include multigroup line.For example, net 10 may include first group of 25 He of high-tensile line At least second group 34 of the line intersected with the high-tensile line in first group 25.In another example, net 10 may include with Multigroup line that high-tensile line in first group 25 intersects, such as second group 34 line and the 3rd group of 38 lines.3rd group of 38 lines can To be substantially the same with those lines in second group 34 or be similar to.For example, the 3rd group 38 may include First Line 35, second Line 36 and the 3rd line 37, although the 3rd group 38 may include any number of line.According to an example, second group of 34 line and the 3rd group Line can be repeated along a direction with any number, and the direction is prolonged along the length of the high-tensile line in first group 25 Stretch.This can cause the multigroup line intersected with the high-tensile line in first group 25 so that multigroup line is used for making first group 25 In high-tensile line be remained substantially in correct position.

According to embodiment, net 10 is may include in the side upwardly extending additional set substantially the same with first group 25 of line Line.For example, net 10 may include the 4th group 44 of line and the 5th group 49 of line.The 4th group 44 of line and the 5th group 49 of line can be wrapped Include any number of line.For example, the 4th group 44 of line may include First Line 40, the second line 41, the 3rd line 42 and the 4th line 43, and And the 5th group 49 of line may include First Line 45, the second line 46, the 3rd line 47 and the 4th line 48, although the 4th group 44 of line and line The 5th group 49 may include any number of line.According to embodiment, the line in line and the 5th group 49 in the 4th group 44 can be with It is as the line of those lines in second group 34.In such embodiment, line in the 4th group 44, the line in the 5th group 49 and Line in second group 34 can be made up of identical material and have identical structure, wherein the line in the 4th group 44 and the 5th group Line in 49 intersects to form the web frame of net 10 with the line in second group 34.

According to embodiment, repeat patterns can be provided that, wherein multigroup high-tensile line and multigroup non-high-tensile Line replaces.For example, the line in the line and the 5th group 49 in the 4th group 44 can be appointed at first group 25 of high-tensile line Non- high-tensile line on side, wherein multigroup high-tensile line is being substantially perpendicular to multigroup non-high-tensile line On the direction of the longitudinal axis of these lines alternately.According to another embodiment, in the 4th group 44 and the 5th group 49 any one or this Line in both can be substantially the same with those lines in first group 25 or similar high-tensile line.Multigroup line can Selected according to the desired intensity and enhanced stretch resistance of net 10 with including high-tensile line or non-high-tensile line.

According to embodiment, arbitrary group in multigroup line may include the mixing of high-tensile line and non-high-tensile line Thing.Such mixture can be selected according to the desired intensity of net 10 and enhanced stretch resistance.

According to embodiment, net 10 can be formed by monofilament lines.For example, non-high-tensile line can be formed by monofilament lines, all Such as, including the line in second group 34 of non-high-tensile line and other groups.

Net 10 can be braided material (woven material) or woven materials (knit material).For example, net 10 Braided material or woven materials can be produced as not only to provide the high performance material with intensity and enhanced stretch resistance, Er Qieti For the net materials with desired pattern or style.

According to embodiment, net 10 can be braided material, its center line alternately on warp direction and weft direction Pass through with over each other.For example, the high-tensile line in first group 25 can extend on warp direction, and second group 34 In line can extend on weft direction.For example, the high-tensile line in the line in second group 34 is with first group 25 intersects When, the line in second group 34 alternately can be passed through above and below the high-tensile line in first group 25.Such volume The pattern for knitting line can provide both high-tensile line and non-high-tensile line, and the high-tensile line is used to strengthen web material The intensity and enhanced stretch resistance of material, the non-high-tensile line is for interlocking with high-tensile line and make high-tensile line It is remained substantially in correct position.

According to another embodiment, net 10 can be woven materials, and its center line is knitted together.For example, first group High-tensile line in 25 can extend along its respective length and the non-high tensile in second group 34 in a first direction Intensity line can be intersected with high-tensile line and make the neighbouring high-tensile line in first group 25 knitting each other.Example Such as, the non-high-tensile line in second group 34 can form ring between the First Line 21 in first group 25 and the second line 22, should Ring just First Line 21 and the second line 22 are knitted together.Non- high-tensile line can similarly by other high-tensile lines that This is knitting and the line of adjacent groups can be made to be connected to each other.
