The heel member extends downwardly from the lower sole member. The heel member includes a heel outer peripheral surface and an open top heel cavity. The lower sole member includes a top surface and a lower sole cavity extending downwardly from the top surface. The shank member has a shank midfoot portion and a shank heel portion. The shank midfoot portion is in the lower sole cavity and the shank heel portion is in the heel cavity. The heel cushion is in the heel cavity. The shank heel portion is sandwiched between the heel cushion and the heel member.

Disclosed is a platform for generating and delivering 3-D printed wearables. The platform includes scanning, image processing, machine learning, computer vision, and user input to generate a printed wearable. Scanning occurs in a number of ways across a number of devices. The variability of scanning generates a number of scanning output types. Outputs from the scanning process are normalized into a single type during image processing. The computer vision and machine learning portions of the platform use the normalized body scan to develop models that may be used by a 3D printer to generate a wearable customized to the user. The platform further provides opportunities for the user to check the work of the scanning, image processing, computer vision, and machine learning. The user input enables the platform to improve and inform the machine learning aspects.

Described herein are apparatuses and methods of creating fibers, such as microfibers and nanofibers for the production of clothing items and footwear. Also described herein is a microfiber and/or nanofiber coating system having a support that holds an object to be coated by fibers during the coating process. The support may move the object with respect to the fibers, such that at least a portion of each of the exterior surfaces of the object are coated by the fibers formed by the microfiber and/or nanofiber coating system.

A process for fabricating a three-dimensional, multi-layered fabric product with a moisture barrier is provided. A partially seamed inner lining fabric assembly having at least a two-dimensional shape is laminated with a membrane barrier film having flaps left un-laminated to cover at least one seam. The inner lining fabric assembly is further seamed and flaps of the of the membrane barrier film overlapped into contact with each other and sealed to provide a continuous moisture barrier. A process for fabricating a stretchable section of a garment with a moisture barrier is also provided. At least a section of a garment is formed from fibers arranged in a pattern having a direction of stretch in one direction and a three-dimensional surface texture such that a portion of the fibers protrude above another portion of the fibers. The stretchable section is stretched in the direction of stretch. Segments of a membrane barrier film are adhered to an outer edge of the protruding portion of the fibers while the section is stretched in the direction of stretch, leaving intermediate segments of the barrier film free from adherence to the section. In this way, the intermediate segments of the membrane barrier film include slack that folds up to form ruches when the section is in a relaxed state.

A method of positioning and joining a plurality of manufacturing parts utilizing automated identification of manufacturing parts and a manufacturing tool comprised of a vacuum-powered part holder and an ultrasonic-welding horn is disclosed. The method comprises: automatically identifying a three-dimensional space within which a first manufacturing part of the plurality of manufacturing parts is positioned and the manufacturing tool operates; automatically identifying a position of a second manufacturing part of the plurality of manufacturing parts; based on the identified position of the first manufacturing part, positioning the manufacturing tool such that the vacuum-powered part holder is proximate to the first manufacturing part of the plurality of manufacturing parts; generating a vacuum force transferred through a bottom surface of the vacuum-powered part holder; temporarily maintaining the first manufacturing part in contact with at least a portion of the vacuum-powered part holder; based on the position of the second manufacturing part, transferring the first manufacturing part to the second manufacturing part of the plurality of manufacturing parts; releasing the first manufacturing part from the vacuum-powered part holder; positioning the manufacturing tool such that the ultrasonic-welding horn is proximate to the first manufacturing part where the first manufacturing part is contacting the second manufacturing part; and applying ultrasonic energy through the ultrasonic-welding horn, wherein the ultrasonic energy is effective for joining the first manufacturing part with the second manufacturing part.
摘要:
The present invention relates according to a first aspect to an outsole (30) for a sports shoe (1), in particular a soccer shoe, comprising an integral sole plate (31) extending from a heel part (32) via a midfoot part (33) into a forefoot part (34) of the outsole (30), at least one first reinforcing rib (37) integrated into the sole plate (31) and a reinforcing plate (40) arranged above or below the at least one first reinforcing rib (37). According to a further aspect, the present invention relates to a sports shoe (1), in particular a soccer shoe, comprising an upper (10) of a shoe with a closure region (11) and a sole region (12) and at least one reinforcing element (20) attached to the inside of the upper (10) of the shoe and arranged in the midfoot part and comprising a plurality of flexible bands (21) extending from the closure region (11) to the sole region (12).
摘要:
The present invention is a method for manufacturing inflatable articles, or bladders for inflatable articles, that is time-efficient, simple, inexpensive and permits the uninterrupted manufacture of numerous and even customized article or bladder configurations and sizes, without expensive configuration-specific, metal tooling. The method includes the steps of applying a barrier material to a side of a first film, providing a second film with the first film so that the barrier material is disposed between the first and second films, adhering the first film to the second film so that the films are sealed together in areas except where the barrier material has been applied to form at least one inflatable compartment and sealed peripheral edge, and cutting along the sealed peripheral edge to form an inflatable article or bladder for use in an article of manufacture. The barrier material may be a paint, ink, paper or surface treatment that effectively prevents the first film from adhering to the second. The inflatable article or bladder of the present invention may be used as or in athletic equipment, for example, including footwear.
摘要:
A non-woven textile may be formed from a plurality of thermoplastic polymer filaments. The non-woven textile may have a first region and a second region, with the filaments of the first region being fused to a greater degree than the filaments of the second region. A variety of products, including apparel (e.g., shirts, pants, footwear), may incorporate the non-woven textile. In some of these products, the non-woven textile may be joined with another textile element to form a seam. More particularly, an edge area of the non-woven textile may be heatbonded with an edge area of the other textile element at the seam. In other products, the non-woven textile may be joined with another component, whether a textile or a non-textile.
