摘要:
The present invention relates to a nonmetallic component, the component comprising: the component having a component surface; an adhesive particulate contacting the component surface; and the adhesive particulate forming a fused region and a second unfused region, wherein the adhesive particulate is fused with the component in the fused region and the adhesive particulate is not fused with the component in the unfused region, the fused region forming a perimeter enclosing the unfused region on the component surface.

The invention relates to a warp and weft fabric which is intended for being integrated in the soles of footwear for the purpose of providing very safe footwear that meets safety standards as regards puncture prevention. To that end, the fabric is formed by at least 60% high tenacity yarns, where the yarns have counts between 80 and 280 tex, and where each yarn consists of filaments having a fineness between 1 and 6 Dtex. The fabric is therefore formed by between 1 and 10 warps bound with between 5 and 10 wefts and being manufactured by means of the warp and weft weaving technique for the purpose of obtaining a very compact fabric with high mechanical strength.

The manufacturing of articles relies on the bonding of two or more components to form some forms of the articles, such as a shoe sole bonded with a shoe upper. The bonding may be achieved with an adhesive particulate that is applied to a surface of a substrate. The adhesive particulate is selectively fused to the substrate with a controlled energy source, such as a laser. The selective application of laser energy allows for specific geometric structures of adhesive particulate to be formed on the substrate. The substrate having the fused adhesive particulate is mated with another component allowing the fused adhesive particulate to bond the first substrate and the second component.

An automated system for painting a shoe sole portion of a shoe is provided. The automated painting system is adapted to use a variety of stations and components to automatically paint a side surface of the shoe sole portion while it is secured in a jig, transition the jig to an open position, and remove the painted shoe sole portion from the jig.

The optimized shoe invention comprises five embodiments and two methods to optimize both the performance and comfort of footwear for walking and running and for robotics, prosthetics and orthotics. First, there are three versions of enhanced heel-lift shoes for energy return much higher than that of just “springs in shoes.” Second, to minimize foot impact shoe there are ten enhanced optimal springs with 1% hysteresis loss. Third, for ankle and knee joints there is a rotating-arms enhanced optimal spring. Fourth, said enhanced optimal springs are incorporated into conventional shoes. Fifth, there is an automatic gear change mechanism to change the sole spring stiffness so that the sole is always close to full compression—so that the performance and comfort is always optimal. The optimal force curve method features a pre-loaded constant force curve tuned to a particular use. The shoe tuning method provides precise sole energies by slicing springs.

The present invention concerns a sports orthosis device such as a shin pad and a foot-supporting device such as an insole comprising a novel low-temperature thermoplastic wood-biopolymer composite comprised of small wood particles and a polycaprolactone (PCL) homopolymer. The material is made from a thermoplastic composite that softens when heated to approximately 60 °C, after which it can be formed directly on the wearer. The composite then retains its shape as it cools down. The material is composed of epsilon caprolactone homopolymer reinforced with discontinuous short length wood particles.
