Benefits of technology

[0008]An object of the present invention is to solve the slip and fall problems of footwear bottom which is used in smooth or oil-containing ground surface by providing a footwear bottom which is capable of preventing the happening of the slip and fall problems.
[0010]Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacture of an outsole with abrasion resistance for solving the slip and fall problem in smooth and / or oil-containing ground surface which comprises a fabric unit made of fabric materials serving as an excellence fabric layer to provide abrasion resistance in oil-containing ground surface.
[0024]It is worth mentioning that the covering unit can be a sticker or a mold unit which is capable of covering the bottom body and providing sufficient heat resistance to the heating process in the oven.
[0026]The present invention is advantageous in that the fabric unit is provided on the bottom surface of the outsole layer of the bottom body to increase the abrasion resistance between the shoe bottom and the ground, thereby preventing the incidences of slipping and falling on a smooth or oil-containing surface. In addition, the present invention can be widely used while involving simple manufacturing method. The shoe bottom of the present invention is easy to use, durable and of high marketability value.

Problems solved by technology

If the outsole layer contains water or oil contaminant, the abrasion resistance index is greatly reduced and hence a user may easily slip and fall.
The user who wears shoes with rigid sole is particularly affected by the low abrasion resistance index and is more easily to slip and fall because the shoe bottom is relatively smooth and its adhesive level is low.
Accordingly, when the user wears this kind of shoes, he or she is subject to have higher risk of slippery, falling or even accident.
However, even though the anti-slip pattern is sufficient to provide a better anti-slip effect, it is ineffective to provide an anti-slip effect through the anti-slip pattern when the shoe is used in an oil-containing or oil-contaminated ground surface.

exemplary embodiment 1

[0035]Referring to FIG. 1 of the drawings, the footwear bottom of the present invention includes a bottom body 1, wherein the bottom body 1 comprises an outsole layer 11 and a fabric unit 2 adhered to a bottom surface 111 of the outsole layer 11. The fabric unit 2 contains an additional layer of atomizing agent 21.

[0036]According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the footwear bottom is manufactured through a method of manufacture comprising the following steps:

[0037]Step (1): covering a first portion 1111 of the bottom surface 111 of the outsole layer 11 through a covering unit 50 and defining a fabric portion 1112 which is not covered by the covering unit 50, wherein the covering unit 50 can be a sticker or a mold unit.

[0038]Step (2): providing and spreading a TPR treating agent onto the fabric portion 1112 of the bottom surface 111 of the outsole layer 11.

[0039]TPR refers to Thermo Plastic Elastomer Thermo Plastic Rubber, where its common abbreviation is TPE or...

exemplary embodiment 2

[0049]The exemplary embodiment 2 is the same as the exemplary embodiment 1 except that the fabric unit 2 comprises two peach-shaped units on the bottom surface 111, which is shown in FIG. 2 of the drawings.

exemplary embodiment 3

[0050]The exemplary embodiment 3 is the same as the exemplary embodiment 1 except that the fabric unit 2 comprises a plurality of star units on the bottom surface 111, which is shown in FIG. 3 of the drawings.

[0051]It is worth mentioning that the fabric unit 2 can be of different sizes or shapes on the bottom surface 111.

Abstract

A bottom body of a footwear object with a footwear body, comprising an outsole layer defining a bottom surface which is adapted for having direct contact with the ground and a connecting surface opposite to the bottom surface arranged for connecting to the footwear body; and a fabric unit integrally provided on the bottom surface of the outsole layer which defines a fabric portion, whereby the fabric unit is capable of providing abrasion resistance in both smooth and oil-containing ground surface. the fabric unit is made of fabric materials which is capable of providing abrasion resistance in oil-containing ground surface. comprises a plurality of fabric members spacedly provided on the bottom surface of the outsole layer forming a predetermined pattern on the bottom surface.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The present invention relates to manufacture of footwear, and more particularly to a footwear bottom and its manufacture method thereof. The footwear bottom of the present invention is capable of providing abrasion resistance in both smooth and oil-containing ground surfaces.[0003]2. Description of Related Arts[0004]A variety of footwear bottoms of different quality and materials are used for different types of shoes. Footwear or shoe bottom usually refers to the outsole layer which is in direct and immediate contact with the ground. Accordingly, during the manufacture of shoe bottom, the emphasis should put on the abrasion ability, level of comfort and slip resistance. However, for some kinds of shoes, the shoe bottom uses rigid materials to manufacture so as to provide sufficient rigidity to reserve the overall design and appearance of the shoe. Therefore, the slip resistance ability is greatly reduced.[0005]On th...
