Benefits of technology

[0005]It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a waterproofing process free from the disadvantages, i.e. a process which can be applied in a suitable manner even to semimanufactured products having a three-dimensional conformation. The object is achieved with a proc

Problems solved by technology

However, this known process cannot be applied to semimanufactured products made of leather or fabric, also joined with other materials, which cannot be completely stretched onto a table since they have already taken, during the manufacture, a three-dimensional confo

Embodiment Construction

[0023]Referring to FIG. 1, it is seen that in the process according to the first embodiment of the invention a semimanufactured product made of leather or fabric having a three-dimensional conformation with at least one outer surface and one inner surface, for instance the shoe upper 1 of a shoe, is turned inside out so that its inner surface 2 is turned outwards. Afterwards, the shoe upper 1 turned inside out is folded and flattened along at least two lines 3, in particular corresponding to the intersection with a vertical symmetry plane, so as to obtain two opposing surfaces, which are substantially the same. This operation could already allow in itself to proceed with a lamination with flat presses, but the pressing caused by the pressure along the folding lines 3 could damage the shoe upper 1, especially if the latter is already provided with accessories, for instance metal loops or double appliqué, which create thickness irregularities and contact discontinuities between the su...

Abstract

Semimanufactured waterproofed products (1), particularly shoes, clothing items and accessories, are provided having a three-dimensional conformation with at least one inner surface (2) and one outer surface, provided by the following operative steps:
    • turning inside out the semimanufactured product (1) so that its inner surface (2) is turned outwards;
    • inserting at least one shaped member (4; 8) inside the semimanufactured product (1);
    • pressing the semimanufactured product (1) provided with the shaped member (4; 8) between at least a pair of sheets (5) of a semi-permeable membrane whose surface turned toward the semimanufactured product (1) turned inside out is provided with a glue pattern; and
    • turning the semimanufactured product (1) so that its inner surface is turned inwards.
