摘要: A bladder which is particularly useful for a sole assembly of a shoe is formed of multiple layers of barrier film to provide multiple pressurized layers of cushioning fluid or gas when the bladder is filled. A multiple gas layer bladder enhances cushioning response by relying more on the response characteristics of the gas and reducing the amount of foam and the dependence on foam as a cushioning material. The internal film layers provide a truss-like geometry in cross section and act as tensile members to impart a generally smooth surface contour to the bladder. The bladder is constructed to provide complex regionalized cushioning profiles which are coupled to the anatomy of the foot and expected loads at known points.

摘要: The invention is a bladder formed of multiple layers of barrier film to provide multiple pressurized layers of cushioning fluid or gas when the bladder is filled. The sidewalls of the bladder can be constructed with an inverted seam construction to eliminate finishing steps in the manufacture of cushioning bladders and alternatively to provide a clean, seamless appearance along the side walls. The inverted seam can be formed by attaching the peripheral edges of inner barrier layers to the outer barrier layers adjacent a weld between inner barrier layers to provide an inside-out inverted seam appearance. An inverted seam can also be formed by providing separate sidewall elements attached to the barrier layers of the bladder to provide a seam displaced from the center of the sidewall.

摘要翻译: 特别可用于鞋的鞋底组件的气囊由多层阻挡膜形成,以在气囊填充时提供缓冲流体或气体的多个加压层。 多层气囊通过更多地依靠气体的响应特性和减少泡沫量以及作为缓冲材料对泡沫的依赖性来增强缓冲响应。 内部膜层在横截面中提供桁架状几何形状并且作为拉伸构件以赋予膀胱大致平滑的表面轮廓。 膀胱被构造成提供复杂的区域性缓冲轮廓,其耦合到脚的解剖结构和已知点处的预期负载。 气囊的侧壁可以用倒置的接缝结构构造,以消除缓冲垫的制造中的精加工步骤,或者替代地沿着侧壁提供干净,无缝的外观。 可以通过将内部阻挡层的外围边缘附接到与内部阻挡层之间的焊缝相邻的外部阻挡层来形成倒置的接缝,以提供内向外的倒缝外观。 还可以通过提供附接到气囊的阻挡层的单独的侧壁元件来形成倒缝,以提供从侧壁的中心移位的接缝。

摘要: A method of making a mold from a model is disclosed. A mold carrier is formed having an aperture therein. The aperture has a configuration generally corresponding to the shape of the model. The model is positioned within the aperture such that a space is created between the outer peripheral surface of the aperture and the outer peripheral surface of the model. A resilient first material in its liquid state is poured into the space such that the first material substantially covers the outer peripheral surface of the model. The resilient first material is allowed to solidify in the space such that a resilient mold insert is formed. The mold insert forms an impression of the outer peripheral surface of the model and is disposed along the inner peripheral surface of the aperture. The model is removed from the resilient mold insert. A second material in its liquid state is poured into the aperture of the mold carrier with the resilient mold insert disposed along the inner peripheral surface of the aperture. The second material is allowed to solidify such that a duplicate of the model is formed. The duplicate replicates the outer peripheral surface of the model because of its contact with the resilient mold insert. The duplicate is removed from the resilient mold insert. A mold is formed from the duplicate. The mold formed is used in making replicas of the model.

摘要: The invention is directed to a midsole for a shoe including one or more foam columns disposed between an upper and a lower plate. One or more elastomeric foam elements are disposed between the upper and lower plates. The foam elements are made of a material such as microcellular polyurethane-elastomer based on a polyester-alcohol and naphthalene-disocyanate (NDI). In one embodiment, the foam elements have the shape of hollow cylindrical columns, and may include grooves formed on the exterior surface. One or more elastic rings are disposed about the columns and are removably disposable in the grooves, allowing the stiffness of the columns to be adjusted. In a further embodiment, inflatable gas bladders are disposed in the hollow regions. The heights of the gas bladders may be less than the heights of the columns such that when the midsole is compressed, the wearer experiences a first stiffness corresponding to compression of the columns alone, and a second stiffness corresponding to compression of both the columns and the bladders. Alternatively, the bladders may be inflated so as to cause the columns to be stretched, even when no load is applied. Since the level of inflation of the bladders may be adjusted, the overall stiffness of the midsole may be tuned to the individual requirements of the wearer.

摘要: An article of footwear, e.g., a shoe for running, jogging, and walling, that is designed to provide a better and more anatomical fit to the wearer's foot to enhance performance and provide better arch support. The shoe includes an articulated arch that is independent from the main sole unit to provide better arch support, optimal comfort, and enhanced articulation. A heel notch is cut in the medial and lateral quarter panels to enable the shoe to move in a manner more like the human foot. A heel clip is provided, in lieu of a traditional heel counter, to provide a secure fit in the heel region without the inflexibility and discomfort of a traditional heel counter.

摘要: A method of making an article of footwear includes the steps of forming a foam shell for an article of footwear by wrapping a foam side wall around the periphery of a base, positioning the foam shell on a last, securing the last and the foam shell within a mold and closing the mold, applying heat and pressure to thereby mold the foam shell to the shape of the last, and then opening the mold and removing the molded article of footwear from the last. In a preferred embodiment, the method further includes the steps of forming an inner bootie, having an inner liner and a foam overlay, and inserting the inner bootie over the last prior to positioning the foam shell thereon. The inner bootie includes the inner liner with the foam overlay attached to selected regions thereof. The step of applying heat and pressure thereby includes molding the inner bootie with the foam shell to form the molded article of footwear.

摘要: The present invention provides a cushioned shoe sole having an outer sole layer for contacting the ground surface and a midsole layer disposed above the outer sole layer including an opening formed vertically through at least the top surface thereof. An inflatable bladder element having an unobstructed interior cavity is inflatable with a fluid medium and removably positioned in the opening in the midsole layer. When inflated and snapped into position in the opening, the bladder is therefore visible through at least the top surface of the midsole. The present invention also provides a method of making a cushioned shoe sole by forming an inflatable bladder with a hollow interior cavity defined within the perimeter of the bladder forming a foam midsole having an opening generally extending in the vertical plane and a peripheral cavity around at least a portion of the perimeter of the opening. Thereafter, snapping the inflatable bladder into the preformed opening in the foam midsole such that the perimeter of the bladder is disposed within the cavity of the opening and a cushioned shoe sole is obtained. The bladder can also be viewed through an opening in the top and/or bottom surfaces of the midsole.
