摘要:
An article of footwear has an upper and a sole structure secured to the upper. The sole structure may include a component with a flange extending in an outward direction from a void within a chamber of the component. A sole may also include a chamber formed from a polymer material and including a plurality of subchambers, each of the subchambers having at least one segment with a width that is less than fourteen millimeters. A sole may further include a chamber having areas with different thicknesses, and an outsole bonded to areas with a lesser thickness.

The invention relates to a method for producing customized insoles. According to the invention, injection moulds are produced by milling and the data necessary for this process is calculated using data that is individually captured from the foot of the wearer. The injection moulds produced by this method consist of a recyclable material and are therefore used only once to produce a single insole. They are then melted to form new blocks, from which new injection moulds are produced.

An article of footwear comprising a molded unitary support structure preferably constructed of substantially continuous fibers aligned in one or more defined orientations disposed within a harden resin matrix and methods of manufacturing is disclosed. The unitary support strucutre comprises a plurality of wall structures including a sole that extend generally from a front end region configured to underlie the toe region of the foot to a back region configured and side wall strucutres that extend from the sides of the sole. The wall structures are partitioned from one another to facilitate flex and provide structural and functional indepedence between partitioned regions. The vertical and longitudinal locations of the partitioned are configured to coincide with defined locations relative to the foot so as to facilitate natural movement bending in the foot while also providing the needed support as well as the desired flexibility in attached ground engaging structures. An upper portion overlies and conform to the wall strucutres of unitary support structure and extends from its perimeter regions to further encapsulate the foot and provide comfort, fit and performance traditionally obtained fromlasted articles of footwear. A prefered method of manufacture includes the step of forming a male mold, overlaying it with plies of substantially continous groups of alinged fibers oriented in defined directions to form an uncured-preform construct of the unitary support structure, which is then cured in a female mold, partitioned and incorporated into an article of footwear. Regions of the wall structures including the sole may be formed to include variations in strength, flexibility and/or elastic modulus in one or more directions.

A mold may include mold portions (120, 130) that each includes a surface, a cavity (122, 132) formed in the surface, and a movable frame that extends around the cavity. In manufacturing a fluid- filled chamber, a parison (111) may be located between the mold portions. The mold portions are moved toward the parison such that the frames contact and compress opposite sides of the parison to form a first bond between the opposite sides of the parison. The parison is also compressed between the mold portions such that opposite sides of the parison are shaped within the cavities to define the chamber and form a second bond immediately adjacent to the chamber.

The invention relates to a wear sole (1) for a footwear of the type in which a portion at least of the bearing outer surface (2) of the sole is made of a single piece and has protruding portions (3) and empty gaps (6) provided between the protruding portions (3), each protruding portion (3) being formed from an emptied embossment (3) of the sole (1) defining a cavity (4) open on the side of the inner surface (15) of the sole, said embossments (3) being connected together by a portion of the sole defining a bridge (7). The sole is characterised in that a portion at least of the sole portion defining a bridge (7) between said embossments (3) is provided with through holes (8) for permanent communication between the inner (15) and outer (2) surfaces of said sole (1), said openings (8) being closed by a watertight membrane (9) that is pervious to steam and air.
摘要:
An apparatus and associated method of making a molded article including providing a mold that defines a mold cavity having a predetermined profile. A rubber base material is in the mold cavity. The rubber base material is constructed and arranged to have a profiles that substantially matches the profile of the mold cavity. An adhesive film is disposed over the rubber base material. Energy is applied across the mold so as to heat and vulcanize the rubber base material while concurrently adhering the adhesive film to the rubber base material.
