Benefits of technology

The present invention is a lining system that offers a cooler, warmer, drier, and more breathable liner for skates. The liner is designed to meet the needs of skaters of various skill categories. The liner material, which is in direct contact with the foot, can have varying fiber content and construction to achieve this. The technical effects of the invention are improved comfort, better protection, and better performance for skates.

Problems solved by technology

The inner liners have been leather, nylon, or polyester blends which extremely limited the ability to breathe or wick moisture away from a skater's body.
These materials have prevented the foot from breathing adequately.
As a result, the lining becomes saturated with sweat which adversely affects the skater's comfort and performance level.
This problem is even worse with the aggressive hockey skaters whose needs for proper ventilation are even greater.

Abstract

The soft boot and liner includes moisture transfer system that includes an inner fabric layer carefully selected from technically advanced fabrics. A series of layers are provided outside the inner liner including foam material layers, spacer fabrics and breathable membranes, in various orders. Encapsulation technology and waterproofing are used as well. The outer fabric layer is also capable of working with the other layers to promote the transfer of moisture. Frothed foams and flocking with fibers are further characteristics of the present invention. The moisture transfer system is incorporated into a soft boot or skate or as a removable liner for a shell boot. Numerous other modifications and applications are disclosed.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to composite materials, removable insert liners and completed product constructions with an non-removable liner used in a variety of application. For example, the liner of the present invention may be employed in a variety of applications including in-line ice or hockey skates (shell and soft boot) and the like. This liner system composite may be utilized for all weather boots and alpine and hiking applications. The liner is breathable, transfer moisture and waterproof to increase comfort for the skater. The liner may contain thermal fibers, thermal PCM encapsulated molecules or fibers and / or a silica, acrylic, polyester fiber based polymers microsheres or the like containing air, polymers or liquid fibers that aids in cool or thermal regulating temperatures during performance and are capable of absorbing an electrical charge. The microsphere encapsulating the air, polymer or electrically sensitive to thermal absorbing materi...
