Description

Moon core and shoes

The present invention relates to a lunar wick and shoes, and more particularly to a novel lunar wick formed by a laminate formed by laminating a plurality of cloth-like bodies and a shoe provided with the same.

Generally, shoes have a lunar core (also called a counter) interposed between the upper and inner skin as a core material for reinforcing the buttocks. In addition to raw hides that are tanned animal skins such as cattle, this moon-shaped core is made by impregnating paper, synthetic resin, or cloth impregnated with resin on base paper made from wood pulp. Things have been widely used in the past. And this moon shaped core has been considered to be the best in terms of improving the appearance of the buttocks and fitting to the feet.

On the other hand, as a moon-shaped core other than Nume, one made by attaching impregnated paper with an adhesive to one side of a tanned rawhide (Patent Document 1), a moon mold used for a curved part such as a heel part of a shoe, etc. Stretch made by applying thermosetting adhesives with different moisture contents to the front and back surfaces of the shoe core material (Patent Document 2), sandwiching a moon core made of a thermosetting material in a sandwich shape Of non-woven non-woven chemical sheet on the inner surface of the upper heel part, heating from the side of the cocoon member containing the lunar core to thermoset the thermosetting lumber core to form the heel part (Patent Document 3), etc. It has been known.

Conventional ume has poor elasticity, is weak against heat, has a foul odor, and when it is stepped on the buttock, it becomes difficult to return to its original position, and the heel line is easily changed by heat. There was a defect such as oozing out and soiling the inner surface of shoes. On the other hand, when a thermosetting resin is used as in Patent Documents 2, 3, etc., the shape of the moon core after thermosetting is completely fixed, even if it is molded in a foot shape. When walking, the fit with the foot was inferior to the case of using ume.

As a result of various studies on the material of the lunar core used for the shoe heel, the present inventors laminated a plurality of cloth-like bodies formed using a linear body obtained by stretching a thermoplastic resin, Attention was focused on a laminate formed by heating and compressing so that a part of the filaments melts.

Such a laminate is called a self-reinforced polymer composite (Self Reinforced Plastics: SRP), and is a fiber-reinforced plastic (F た Reinforced Plastics: FRP) in which an adhesive component and a reinforcing fiber are formed from the same resin component. . Here, the same kind of resin component refers to a resin composed of the same kind of components such as polyolefin, polyamide, and polyester.

The present inventor diligently studied a new application of the laminate, which is a self-reinforced polymer composite material. By forming a moon core, which is a shoe component, with this laminate, Numerous special effects that could not be obtained, especially the moon core used for the heel of shoes used for field sports such as soccer, rugby, baseball, track and field, running, walking, etc. As a result, the inventors have found that the present invention is suitable.

That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel lunar core formed by a laminated body formed by laminating a plurality of cloth-like bodies and a shoe equipped with the same.

The perspective view which shows an example of the moon-shaped core of this invention integrally molded with the insole

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a shoe using a moon core according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view of a laminate forming the moon core.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a shoe and 2 is a lunar core provided on the heel of the shoe 1. Here, an example is shown in which the lunar core 2 is applied to the heel of an athletic shoe.

The moon-shaped core 2 according to the present invention is formed by laminating a plurality of cloth-like bodies formed using a linear body obtained by stretching a thermoplastic resin so that a part of the linear body melts. It has at least a laminate 3 that is heated and compressed to integrate the cloth-like body into a single sheet.

The laminate 3 is a fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) called self-reinforced polymer composite material (SRP) described above. The present inventor has examined the lunar core 2 formed using the laminate 3, and as a result, the effect of holding the foot heel is enhanced, and the stability of the foot heel when accompanied by intense movements such as sports competitions. It was found that the property can be improved.

That is, in general, the footpad is always moving in the shoe when stepping on or landing. For example, FIG. 3 is a view of the state when the right foot wearing the shoe 1 has landed as seen from the heel side. As shown by the solid line, the heel at the moment of landing is in a state of falling slightly to the outside, but when the landing foot gets weight, as shown by the dotted line, trying to buffer the impact at the time of landing A phenomenon called pronation occurs in which the heel is deformed while falling slightly inside. The general lunar core is intended mainly for the shape retention of the heel of the shoe, and since it was formed relatively hard, it was difficult to deform to follow the movement of the heel of such a foot. . For this reason, the shoe strongly collides with the heel and easily rubs the shoe, and the fit with the moving heel is inferior, and there is a problem from the viewpoint of increasing the stability by holding the heel of the foot.

On the other hand, the moon-shaped core 2 having the laminated body 3 has a rigidity required for the moon-shaped core 2 and has an appropriate elasticity, so that it moves so that the heel of the foot falls when landing. In this case, it can be easily elastically deformed following the movement. For this reason, no matter what kind of behavior of the foot heel in the shoe 1, it can be reliably held following the movement of the heel, improving the fit with the heel and the stability of the foot heel. Can be increased. In addition, since the heel portion of the shoe 1 does not apply an excessive force to the heel of the foot, it is difficult for the shoe to rub.

It was found that the moon core 2 having the laminate 3 is not only easily deformed but also has a property of quick return (high return elasticity) when returning from the deformed state to the original state. . That is, the lunar core 2 tries to quickly restore its original shape after elastically deforming following the movement of the foot heel. At this time, the movement of the heel to return to the original state in the shoe 1 works so that the high return elasticity of the lunar core 2 assists. For this reason, even if it deform | transforms so that a heel of a foot may fall inward by the pronation at the time of landing, it will be able to return to an original state rapidly with the assistance of the return elasticity of the moon-shaped core 2. FIG. Thereby, it becomes possible to quickly shift to the next stepping operation after landing, and a more agile operation is possible.

Moreover, since this moon-shaped core 2 is excellent in the fit property with respect to a heel by the moderate elasticity inherent in the laminated body 3, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of an excessive gap between the heel of the foot and the mouth of the shoe 1. Moreover, since the moon-shaped core 2 can easily follow the movement of the heel, it is possible to suppress sand and the like from entering between the heel of the foot and the mouth of the shoe 1. Of course, the shape retaining property of the heel of the original shoe 1 can be maintained by the rigidity of the laminate 3 itself.

Since the laminate 3 is formed of a thermoplastic resin, the moon core 2 having the laminate 3 can be easily deformed by heating with, for example, a dryer. For example, by heating the lunar core 2 with the shoe 1 on, the heel of the shoe 1 can be freely shaped to match the shape of the heel of the user's foot, making it a tailor-made shoe It can be set to 1, and a feeling of fitting and a feeling of use can be improved further.

Furthermore, since the laminate 3 is composed of a linear body obtained by stretching a thermoplastic resin, the moon core 2 having the laminate 3 is not easily cracked or broken, and is excellent in repeated flexibility. Etc., and high durability. For this reason, it does not become difficult to return to the original shape by stepping on the heel like a conventional lunar core made of ume.

In the shoe 1 shown in the present embodiment, a lunar core 2 cut out in a substantially half-moon shape from the laminate 3 is sandwiched between the upper 6 and the inner skin 7 corresponding to the heel portion of the shoe 1 as shown in FIG. Thus, the upper portion 8 having the moon core 2 is formed.

The shell 6 has a middle window shape. Thereby, the moon core 2 is provided so that the laminate 3 is exposed on the surface of the shoe 1. This not only gives an accent to the design of the appearance of the shoe 1, but as described above, when the moon core 2 is shaped by the heat of a dryer or the like, hot air is directly applied to the laminate 3 exposed on the surface. Since it can be sprayed and heated, it is a preferred embodiment because the shaping operation can be performed easily and efficiently.

However, of course, the lunar core 2 may be provided inside the upper shell so as not to be exposed on the surface in the same manner as a normal lunar core. Moreover, although this moon core 2 was provided in the shoe 1 by sewing, it is needless to say that it is not limited to this and may have an adhesive structure.

As shown in FIG. 5, the sole portion 9 such as an insole 91, an insole 92, and an outer sole 93 is attached to the upper portion 8 in which the lunar core 2 is provided in the heel portion, as in a normal shoe. The shoe 1 is completed.

Next, the laminate 3 that forms the moon core 2 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 2, the laminated body 3 is formed by laminating a plurality of cloth-like bodies formed by using a linear body 4 obtained by stretching a thermoplastic resin. By heating and compressing so as to melt, the respective cloth-like bodies are integrated to form a single sheet. In the heat compression, after heating the cloth-like laminate, the heated cloth-like laminate may be compressed, or the cloth-like laminate may be heated and compressed simultaneously. It may be.

For example, when the linear body 4 has a layer structure having a base layer and a surface layer having a melting point lower than that of the base layer, the base layer that is a high melting point resin component means that a part of the linear body 4 is melted. Is heated at a temperature at which the surface layer, which is a low-melting resin component, does not melt and melts. When the filament 4 has a structure having a low melting point resin component having a sea-island structure in a high melting point resin component, the high melting point resin component is not melted, and the temperature is such that the low melting point resin component having a sea island structure melts. It is to heat at. Thereby, the high melting point resin component in the filament 4 becomes a reinforcing fiber, and the low melting point resin component becomes an adhesive component, so that it has a high bending elastic modulus and excellent impact resistance, and between adjacent cloth-like bodies. Can be formed.

As the thermoplastic resin constituting the filament 4, a resin having a large stretching effect, generally a crystalline resin is used. Specific examples include olefin polymers such as high density polyethylene, high pressure low density polyethylene, polypropylene, and ethylene / propylene block copolymers. In addition, polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate, polyamides such as nylon 6 and nylon 66, and the like can also be used. Of these, olefin polymers such as high-density polyethylene, high-pressure method low-density polyethylene, and polypropylene are preferred because of their workability and economy, and their low specific gravity.

Moreover, the shape of the filament 4 is arbitrary as long as it can form a cloth-like body. For example, tape, yarn, split yarn, monofilament, multifilament, etc. can be used. The filament 4 is twisted as necessary. Of these, flat filaments such as tape and yarn are preferred, and flat yarns that are tape-like filaments are particularly preferred.

The thickness of the striate body 4 can be arbitrarily selected according to the purpose, but in general, a range of 50 to 10,000 decitex (dt) is desirable.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the cloth-like body formed by the filament 4 is generally a woven fabric woven using the filament 4 as the warp 4A and the weft 4B. Examples of the weaving method of the woven fabric include plain weave, twill weave, oblique pattern weave, silk weave and double weave.

In addition, a large number of linear bodies 4 are juxtaposed in one direction, and a large number of linear bodies 4 are juxtaposed thereon so as to intersect in an arbitrary angle direction, and the intersection is an adhesive such as a hot melt agent. It is also possible to use a cross-bonded cloth (Sof) joined by heat sealing or heat sealing. In addition, a multiaxial fiber base in which a large number of linear bodies 4 are arranged side by side in one direction, and a large number of linear bodies 4 are arranged in parallel so as to intersect in an arbitrary angle direction and connected by stitching yarns. It can also be used as a material. Further, the fabric-like body may be a knitted fabric formed by the linear body 4.

The number of laminated fabrics is appropriately set to 2 or more so that the lunar core 2 has a desired thickness and rigidity. At this time, each of the laminated cloth-like bodies is not limited to the same one, and the cloth-like bodies having different types, widths, thicknesses, stretch ratios, the number of driving, the weaving method, and the like of the line bodies 4 are laminated. May be.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 6, when forming the laminated body 3, the cloth-like body which made the same kind of cloth-like body or the line-like body 4, the width | variety, thickness, the draw ratio, the number of implantations, the weaving method etc. different. Accordingly, by partially laminating the small cloth-like bodies 21 formed so as to be smaller than the size of the moon core 2, the moon core 2 having partially different strength and rigidity may be obtained. Good.

The thickness of the laminate 3 is preferably 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm. When it becomes thinner than 0.5 mm, when this is used independently and the moon core 2 is formed, the intensity | strength as the moon core 2 will become difficult to obtain. Moreover, when it exceeds 2.5 mm, the rigidity of the moon core 2 becomes too high, and it becomes difficult to obtain the merit of using the laminated body 3 for the moon core 2.

The moon core 2 is cut from the laminated body 3 so as to have a desired shape. Alternatively, the cloth-shaped body may be formed in advance so as to have a desired moon-shaped core shape, and a plurality of the cloth-shaped bodies may be stacked and heated and compressed to obtain the moon-shaped core 2. The moon-shaped core 2 obtained by these is shaped so as to be curved along the shape of the heel of the shoe 1 as necessary.

Since such a laminate 3 is made of a thermoplastic resin, the specific gravity is low and the mechanical strength is high. For this reason, the light and strong moon core 2 can be obtained. It contributes to weight reduction of the shoes 1 by being light.

Moreover, since the laminated body 3 is comprised by the linear body 4 obtained by extending | stretching a thermoplastic resin, the moon-shaped core 2 which has this laminated body 3 does not easily break, bend, etc., and repeats. It also has high durability such as excellent flexibility. For this reason, if you step on the casket like Nume, it will not be difficult to return to the original.

That is, ASTM D 1052 was applied mutatis mutandis, and the laminate 3 was cut as a test piece into a thickness of 1.2 mm, a width of 25 mm, and a length of 152 mm, and attached to the test machine so that it bends 90 ° using a loss tester. The test was repeated 50000 times to confirm the presence or absence of damage, but there was no damage. Thus, the laminate 3 has extremely high durability against bending.

Next, the embodiment shown in FIG. 7 will be described.

In the embodiment described above, the moon-shaped core 2 is formed only by the laminated body 3. However, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the moon-shaped core 2 is formed by the laminated body 3 and the tanned leather 23. ing. That is, the moon-shaped core 2 is formed by forming a laminated piece 22 by cutting the laminated body 3 into a predetermined shape, and carrying out a predetermined tanning process on the laminated piece 22 to obtain a wrinkle cut into a predetermined shape. The leather 23 is laminated.

At this time, the total thickness of the lunar core 2 is preferably 5 mm or less (the total thickness of the tanned leather 23 is 2.5 mm or less). This is because when the total thickness of the moon core 2 exceeds 5 mm, generally the rigidity of the moon core 2 becomes too high and the merit of using the laminate 3 is reduced.

7 shows an example in which a leather core 23 is laminated on one side of a laminate piece 22. In this way, when the leather 23 is laminated on one side of the laminate piece 22, the leather 23 is arranged on the inner side (foot heel side) of the moon core 2 and the laminate piece 22 is arranged on the outside. preferable. This is because the tanned leather 23 acts to absorb moisture such as water vapor coming from the surface of the foot and adjust to the foot.

Further, although not shown, the lunar core 2 can also be constituted by sandwiching the leather 23 on both sides so as to sandwich the laminate piece 22 at the center. In this case, since both surfaces become the surfaces of the leather 23, the lunar core 2 having the function of allowing the leather 23 to be adapted to the feet is formed in a predetermined curved shape as described above, regardless of the direction of the inside and outside. can do.

In preparing the lunar core 2 in which the tanned leather 23 is laminated, the laminate piece 22 and the tanned leather 23 are bonded together using an appropriate adhesive such as rubber, epoxy, hot melt, etc. The moon core 2 can be formed by sewing. Further, in the embodiment of FIG. 7, the laminated piece 22 and the tanned leather 23 cut into a predetermined shape are used. However, after bonding or sewing, it may be cut into a predetermined shape. Needless to say.

Although the moon core 2 described above has been illustrated as having a substantially half-moon shape, the shape of the moon core 2 can be changed as appropriate in relation to the heel of the shoe used. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, ribs 24 can be extended on the shoe sole side. The rib 24 plays a role of holding a predetermined curved shape of the moon core 2 and can also function as an adhesion portion with the insole or the main bottom.

The moon core 2 may be configured integrally with the insole 92 as shown in FIG. In this case, after cutting the part of the insole 92 and the moon core 2 integrally from the sheet-like laminate 3, the moon core 2 may be shaped by press molding or the like, or the sheet-like laminate 3 In addition, the integrated body of the insole 92 and the lunar core 2 may be cut after being pressed or the like.

Examples of the present invention will be described below, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.
