Footwear assembly with breathable and wear-resistant woven vamp

Abstract

A footwear assembly with breathable and wear-resistant woven vamp is disclosed, which includes a sole structure and a breathable and wear-resistant woven vamp. The breathable and wear-resistant woven vamp has a woven fabric with a two-layered structure and is assembled on the sole structure to form the footwear assembly. The breathable and wear-resistant woven vamp is made by a double beam jacquard based on a texture composition and planned pores and a plurality of breathable pores are formed by obliquely interlacing a first warp yarn series, a second warp yarn series and a plurality of weft yarn series.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority from Taiwan Patent Application No. 103218667, filed on Oct. 21, 2014, in the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention discloses a footwear assembly with breathable and wear-resistant woven vamp which applies two warp beam yarn feed rollers of a double beam jacquard to feed the warp yarns made of different materials and having different thread diameters, and the fed yarns are interlaced to form the breathable and wear-resistant woven vamp having diverse internal and external structures, and then the breathable and wear-resistant woven vamp are assembled with the sole structure to form the footwear assembly.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Generally, the conventional footwear assembly includes a sole structure and a woven vamp...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a footwear assembly with a breathable and wear-resistant woven vamp. The vamp is made by a woven technique that uses a double beam jacquard to interlace yarns having different types or diameters. This integrated woven technique simplifies the process of combining traditional vamp pieces to shorten production time and reduce costs. Additionally, the invention includes an improvement where yarns are interlaced obliquely to enhance the conventional woven technique. This overcomes limitations of the conventional technique in terms of fabric sizes, touch, and internal and external structures.

Problems solved by technology

Firstly, the used yarns are limited to the specification and size, and the vamp's composition is limited thereto as well.

Secondly, only a few kinds of yarns or reinforcement procedure can be applied to satisfy with the requirements of the wear-resistant woven vamp and the tensile strength.

Thirdly, the knitted fabrics are mostly monochromatic and piece dyed, and the production speed may be slowed down if the polychrome fabrics are applied.

Finally, as the knitted fabrics are of flexibility, the follow-up second process is therefore more complicated, resulting that the related cost increases.

The tradition weaving machine, however, only applies single warp beam yarn feed roller to feed the warp yarns which are made of monotype material or have single thread diameter, resulting that the current vamp is only made of single layer structure.

Such manufacturing process is time-consuming and incapable of being controlled precisely.
