摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing at least a part of a sole for a shoe. The method comprises (a) providing a carrier layer; (b) arranging a yarn or multiple yarns on the carrier layer, such that the yarn or the multiple yarns essentially define the shape of the part of the sole of the shoe; and (c) sewing the yarn or at least one of the multiple yarns to the carrier layer.
摘要:
A sole (100, 300) for use on an item of footwear (200) wherein the sole (100,300) provides a housing for a growth medium (40) capable of growing and maintaining grass (45). The sole (100, 300) is arranged to be fitted to a lower face of an item of footwear (200), the sole is adapted to retain a growth medium (40) suitable for growing grass (45), so that when fitted to the item of footwear (200), blades of grass project distally from the sole through a mesh (30). The user therefore has the sensation of walking on grass even if not on a grassy surface.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a sole structure for an article of footwear, the method comprising: defining a plurality of depressions in a first polymer layer; locating a volume of a polymer foam material within the depressions to partially fill the depressions, at least one of the depressions receiving a different volume of the polymer foam material than the other depressions; expanding the polymer foam material to substantially fill the depressions; and securing a second polymer layer to the first polymer layer to seal the polymer foam material within the depressions.
摘要:
Aspects of the present invention relate to a shoe upper that is formed as a substantially planar article with varied functional zones integrated therein. The varied functional zones may be strategically positioned zones having varied degrees of stretch. Additionally, it is contemplated that the functional zones may provide dimensional variation (e.g., thickness) and/or permeability (e.g., breathability) characteristics. The substantially planar upper may then be formed into a three-dimensional upper having a volume that may be occupied by a wearer's foot.

Disclosed are footwear soles comprising a propylene-based elastomer. The presence of the propylene-based elastomer provides the footwear sole with a well-balanced combination of desired properties, including low density, low compression set, and weldability.
摘要:
Aspects of the present invention relate to a shoe upper that is formed as a substantially planar woven article with varied functional zones and lockout strands integrated therein. The lockout strands may be integrally incorporated with the woven shoe upper to provide functional characteristics that differ from those characteristics provided by the woven upper. The lockout strands may be effective for transferring a load of a securing mechanism through the woven upper while allowing the woven upper to have a desired degree of elasticity, supper, and/or comfort.
摘要:
A vibration reducing assembly including a flexible headgear and at least one panel of vibration reducing material secured to the flexible headgear. The at least one panel of vibration reducing material includes at least a first elastomer layer and a reinforcement layer comprising a high tensile strength fibrous material.
摘要:
Energy absorbing polurethane elastomer composition having a density of from about 0.4 to about 1 gm/cc, a compression set of less than about 5% and a recovery time of from about 10 to about 1000 milliseconds containing a light-weight filler are formed by reaction of a urethane-forming component comprising a compound containing at least four urethane-forming reactive sites and capable of forming stable complexes through unsatisfied urethane-forming reactive sites, an elasticising polyol selected from the group consisting of diols and triols, and a diisocyanate in less than stoichiometric amounts.
