Upper of footwear and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

There are provided a shoe upper and a method of manufacturing the shoe upper, in which a mesh part is not manufactured separately from the upper when the shoe upper is made, but the mesh part is formed simultaneously with the upper when fabric for the upper is woven, so that an additional operation of sewing or gluing the mesh part on or to the upper is not required. The mesh part may be formed simultaneously with the base part when the shoe upper is manufactured, so that an additional operation of attaching the base part to the mesh part by sewing or adhesion is not required, thus being capable of enhancing productivity, keeping quality consistent, and improving marketability.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates, in general, to a shoe upper and a method of manufacturing the shoe upper, and, more particularly, to a shoe upper and a method of manufacturing the shoe upper, in which a mesh part is not manufactured separately from the upper when the shoe upper is made, but the mesh part is formed simultaneously with the upper when fabric for the upper is woven, so that an additional operation of sewing or gluing the mesh part on or to the upper is not required.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Generally, a shoe is composed of an outsole and an upper, with a midsole and an insole provided therein. The outsole, the insole and the midsole serve to protect the sole of the foot and ensure comfortable walking, while the upper serves to protect the top of the foot and provide aesthetically pleasing appearance to the shoe, thus it plays an important role in improving the marketability of the shoe.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a shoe upper with a mesh part and a logo part that are separately formed during shoe upper manufacturing. This achieves a light shoe design, ensures air permeability, and improves function and appearance. The mesh part is formed simultaneously with the base part, eliminating the need for a separate attachment process and improving productivity, consistent quality, and marketability. The transparent or translucent mesh part is integrated with the logo part, achieving a desired aesthetic effect without requiring adhesion, and increasing productivity. Additionally, the invention provides separate upper and lower plates to prevent adhesive leakage and prevent defective products from being produced.

Problems solved by technology

As such, if the mesh part is additionally attached to the shoe upper, a process of forming the mesh part is very complicated, and besides, the quality of the shoe varies depending on a worker's skill or the performance of a machine.

Further, the use of chemicals such as an adhesive, negatively affecting workers' health, makes the working environment undesirable.
