Embodiment Construction

[0012]Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a vamp 1 of a shoe in accordance with the invention is shown. Bottom edge of the vamp 1 is secured to an outsole of the shoe. The vamp 1 comprises the following components as discussed in detail below.

[0013]An inner fabric layer 10 is formed with a pattern of decoration on its outer surface. An outer thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) layer 20 comprises a transparent zone 21 which is transparent when subjecting to heat. The transparent zone 21 is formed on the pattern of decoration of the fabric layer 10. An intermediate perforated layer 30 is provided between the fabric layer 10 and the TPE layer 20.

[0014]Preferably, the TPE layer 20 is a thermoplastic rubber (TPR) layer.

[0015]Further preferably, the TPE layer 20 is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) layer.

[0016]The process of manufacturing the vamp 1 comprises the following steps: First, adhere the fabric layer 10, the TPE layer 20, and the perforated layer 30 together as a sheet. Next, cut the sheet in...

Abstract

A shoe vamp includes an inner fabric layer including a pattern of decoration on an outer surface; an outer thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) layer including a transparent zone which is transparent when subjecting to heat, the transparent zone being formed on the pattern of decoration; and an intermediate perforated layer formed between the fabric layer and the TPE layer.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to shoes and more particularly to a vamp of shoe.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Every shoe has an upper (i.e., vamp) that helps hold the shoe onto the foot. Closed footwear (e.g., boots and most men's shoes) has a more complex vamp. This part is often decorated or is made in a certain style to look attractive.[0005]However, conventional shoe vamps are monotonous and visually unaesthetic. Moreover, its manufacturing process is complicated.[0006]Thus, the need for improvement still exists.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0007]It is therefore one object of the invention to provide a vamp of a shoe comprising an inner fabric layer including a pattern of decoration on an outer surface; an outer thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) layer including a transparent zone which is transparent when subjecting to heat, the transparent zone being formed on the pattern of decoration; and an intermediate perforated laye...
