Description
- The present invention relates to a process for making an upper for shoes with advanced technical characteristics.
- As is well known, on the market there are currently numerous types of shoes consisting of a knit upper having different technical characteristics which make them suitable for any user.
- In the technique used to produce the knit upper, knitted with a rectilinear knitting machine, after the formation of the upper it is necessary to cut off the excess yarn, consequently further increasing production times and costs.
- To overcome at least in part these drawbacks, circular knitting machines have been used to make the knit of an upper.
- The task of the present invention is to provide a process for making an upper for shoes with advanced technical characteristics which overcomes the drawbacks of the cited prior art.
- Within the scope of this task, one object of the invention is to provide a process for making an upper for shoes with advanced technical characteristics which optimises the use of the needles used for forming the entire upper.
- It is a further object of the invention to conceive a process for making an upper for shoes with advanced technical characteristics which, thanks to the use of a larger number of needles, increases the comfort and wearability of the upper itself.
- It is a further object of the invention to conceive a process for making an upper for shoes with advanced technical characteristics which allows the possibility of knitting a very large number of yarns together to produce sizes that are larger or smaller than those of standard uppers without ever having to cut them continuously.
-
US2005/115284 ,US2014/137433 ,EP2875745 andUS2004/118018 disclose a method for production of an upper for shoes. - It is a further object of the invention to conceive a process for making an upper for shoes with advanced technical characteristics which enables the possibility of creating a pouch that simultaneously contains both the tip and the heel of the user's foot.
- It is a further object of the invention to conceive a process for making an upper for shoes with advanced technical characteristics which enables, among other things, eyelets for the passage of laces, the laces themselves, a protective tongue and the heel-counter cover to be made simultaneously.
- It is a further object of the invention to conceive a process for making an upper for shoes with advanced technical characteristics which further enables a counter-upper to be produced simultaneously with the upper.
- It is a further object of the invention to conceive a process for making an upper for shoes with advanced technical characteristics which advantageously enables, depending on the type of sole the upper will be connected to, a closure of the same with an axis aligned with the axis of the sole so as to remain below the underside of the foot and thus totally covered.
- These objects and others that will become more apparent below are achieved by a process for making an upper for shoes as defined in
claim 1. - The present invention also relates to an upper for shoes according to
claim 3. - The dependent claims better clarify additional features of the process disclosed in
claim 1. Additional features and advantages will become more apparent from the description of preferred, but non-exclusive, embodiments of the invention, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the appended drawings, in which: -
Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of the needle-bearing cylinder according to the present invention; -
Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view of the shoe and of the upper according to the present invention; -
Figure 3 is a plan view of the bottom of the upper according to the present invention; -
Figures 4 and 5 schematically show, for explanatory purposes, the working steps of the needles of a hypothetical cylinder of 12 needles for the sake of clarity, but it should be understood that there are, for example, 120 working needles for making the upper according to the invention; -
Figure 6 is explanatory and graphically represents the two parts of the upper that are knitted according to the technical scheme offigures 4 and 5 ; -
Figures 7 and 8 respectively show the joining of the sole to the upper that has been made and the obtainment of the final shoe according to the invention. - With particular reference to the above-described figures, the process for making an upper 1 for
shoes 2 with advanced technical characteristics, according to the invention, consists in knitting a first part of the upper 1 with a group ofneedles 3 in a tuck stitch or loop position or in a plain drop stitch position or in a missed stitch position. - Advantageously, during the process of making the knit of the first part of upper, the maximum number of needles is equal to the number of
needles 3 present in acylinder 5 of a circular knitting machine that is not represented. - With the process of the invention it is possible to knit a second part of the upper 1 with a group of
needles 3 likewise having an overall maximum number ofneedles 3 in a tuck stitch or loop position or in a plain drop stitch position or in a missed stitch position. - In this case as well, the maximum number of
needles 3 is equal to the number of needles present in thecylinder 5. - According to the process, the second part of the upper 1 is knitted before or after the
first part 1a of the upper 1, but in any case the complete upper is unloaded from the machine with the connection of the first part to thesecond part 1b, or vice-versa, having already been made simultaneously with the formation thereof, thus obtaining several important advantages. - First of all, by means of the process conceived it is possible to create an upper that does not require sewing and, as will be illustrated below, it is possible to carry out, with one knitting cycle, all the knitting in order to obtain a part of the upper, using a number of
needles 3 equal to those contained in thecylinder 5 for the execution thereof. - In
figs. 4 and 5 , by way of explanatory example, 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. - By means of the process of the invention, 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.
- In this area only 50 needles are used.
- Subsequently, the underside area of the foot opposite the instep of the foot is created, arriving at row 13, where the same 120 needles of
row 1 are again used. In other words, a complete upper 1, made up of a first andsecond parts needles 3 greater than the number ofneedles 3 present in the needle-bearingcylinder 5 of a circular knitting machine. - In the case of 120 needles present in the cylinder, it is as if 240 were used.
- During the formation of the first and second parts of the upper, the group of needles 3 (hereinafter indicated only as needles 3) makes a three-
dimensional pouch 10 suitable for simultaneously containing the tip and the heel of the user's foot. - During the formation of the upper, 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. - During the formation of the upper, the
needles 3 make at least theeyelets 20 for the laces thereof. - During the formation of the
eyelets 20, theneedles 3 are in a position for creating the knit without ever increasing in number and work simultaneously before and after forming theeyelets 20. - In this case, 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. - During the formation of the first and second parts of the upper, the
needles 3 also make the fastening laces 30 thereof. - During the formation of the
laces 30, theneedles 3 are determined by the width of each lace and create the knit without there ever being an increase in the number of needles used for all the rows necessary in order to arrive at the desired length of the lace and simultaneously fix the end of each lace to the first or second part of the upper. - During the formation of the upper 1, the
needles 3 make at least aprotective tongue 40 for protecting the user's foot from the tension of the laces. - During the formation of the
protective tongue 40, 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-bearingcylinder 5 in order to determine the size of the tongue. - During the formation of the first and second parts of the upper, the
needles 3 make at least anelastic zone 50 made with an elastic yarn. - During the formation of the
elastic zone 50, theneedles 3 comprise needles to the right and left of the elastic zone and knit with the elastic yarn. - In this case, the
needles 3 can increase or decrease at every reversal of direction of the needle-bearingcylinder 5. - During the formation of the first and second parts of the upper, the
needles 3 also form thejoin 60 between the various knitted parts thereof. - During the formation of the
join 60, 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. - During the formation of the first and second parts of the upper, 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-bearingcylinder 5 depending on the size of the heel-counter cover. During this knitting, the needles are also in the missed stitch position and do not participate in the creation of the heel-counter cover. - During the formation of the upper, the
needles 3 make at leastadditional holes 80 for anchoring the same to a sole or any internal lining of the upper. - During the formation of the first and second parts of the upper, the
needles 3 make at least an opening for forming aseam 90 of the tip of the upper aligned with theaxis 91 of the sole 6 itself, since it can increase or decrease at every change of direction of the needle-bearingcylinder 5. - In this manner, as is easily comprehensible when the upper 1 is connected to the sole 6, the
seam 90 will be totally hidden and covered by the sole, guaranteeing a perfect aesthetic effect for the footwear. - In particular, the seam of the
tip 90, according to the process, 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. - By way of example, as already mentioned, 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.
- In order to make the second part of the upper as well, it is still possible to use the 120 needles of the cylinder, for a total of 240 needles.
- What has been said means that with this process it is possible to increase the circumference of the knit product in order to make sizes that are larger or smaller than the standard ones, while at the same time increasing comfort and the wearability 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-bearingcylinder 5 of a circular knitting machine, not represented. - Essentially, according to the invention, 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 1a of the upper having aperimeter edge 100 simultaneously with a group ofneedles 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 thesecond part 1b of the upper having aperimeter edge 101 simultaneously with a group ofneedles 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 1b of the upper is knitted before or after thefirst part 1a of the upper and the complete upper is unloaded from the machine with the connection of theperimeter edge 100 of thefirst part 1a to theperimeter edge 101 of thesecond part 1b having already been made simultaneously with the formation thereof. - So, if the
second part 1b is knitted first, thefirst part 1a is knitted subsequently but during knitting of thefirst part 1a theperimeter edge 100 under construction of thefirst part 1a is connected to theperimeter edge 101 of the previously knittedsecond part 1b. - Vice versa, if the
first part 1a is knitted first, thesecond part 1b is knitted subsequently but during knitting of thesecond part 1b theperimeter edge 101 under construction of thesecond part 1b is connected to theperimeter edge 100 of the previously knittedfirst part 1a. - During the connection between the perimeter edges 100 and 101 of the two
parts parts - Given that in order to knit each
part needles 3 necessary for the connection between the perimeter edges 100 and 101 of thefirst part 1a and of thesecond part 1b, all of the remainingneedles 3 present in machine; the knit stitches in each row of eachpart - In this manner, in the finished upper, each pair of homologous rows of knit stitches of the two
parts - Each
part - In this case, all the rows of knit stitches in each
part - In this case, it is moreover possible to avoid the formation of the opening in the
second part 1b and consequently theseam 90. - However, it may be envisaged, as illustrated in
figure 6 , that anarea part - Naturally, if 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 process for making an upper for shoes according to the invention is susceptible of numerous modifications and variants, all falling within the scope of the inventive concept.
- The materials used, as well as the dimensions, may be of any type according to needs and the state of the art.
