Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of textiles for technical use, or technical fabrics, i.e. textile or woven materials for which the choice of the textile materials and/or of the weaving mode is principally made according to or guided by certain technical or practical functions, properties or characteristics of the fabric obtained.
- the invention relates to technical fabrics comprising technical threads, of simple or complex construction, themselves having one or more technical features chosen for a specific application or applications of the technical fabric obtained by weaving of the latter.
- any technical fabric does however remain a fabric, i.e. an assembly, intertwining or interlacing of threads, which are for example rectilinear, i.e. warp and weft, essentially in a single plane, in at least two dimensions or directions, i.e. warp and weft; the present invention not having the intention of excluding technical fibres, called 3D fibres, i.e. which have a certain thickness.
- Such a technical fabric can moreover conventionally be defined, in addition to its intrinsic characteristics, by the nature of the threads composing it, the construction, structure, or elementary weaving pattern, able to have a schematic or graphic representation or definition, which is repeated periodically in the direction of the warp and/or the direction of the weft.
- this elementary pattern conventionally defined by the weave (including the type, repeat, or pace), possibly the step number, the density of the warp and weft threads, or thread count, and/or any other relevant weaving parameters, such as the transparency, which enables the person skilled in the trade to choose the loom required for the weaving and to prepare it so as to be able to obtain, in a single weaving operation, any part of the technical fabric the width of which will correspond, give or take the selvedges, to that of the passage of the weft threads.
- any part of a technical fabric or any technical fabric presents an ordered monolithic, and therefore homogenous, structure or construction, from one end of the warp to the other, and/or from one selvedge to the other in the direction of the weft, as it repeats the same pattern or the same elementary weaving construction.
- different worked or manufactured articles or products such as footwear suitable for the pursuit of a the sport, for example a racket sport, comprise one or more parts, items or components made from flexible material(s) and of small thickness, such as the shoe upper.
- These parts or items are functional in that, respectively in different areas of the upper and/or of the shoe, they have to provide one or more respectively different technical or practical performances, such as an abrasion resistance, breathability, support, flexibility, etc., and possibly an aesthetic aspect.
- the technical performances expected or obtained differ from one area to another and/or, for the same technical performance, have respectively different values depending on the areas concerned.
- the upper has to perform support of the foot, more or less on the left and right sides, and in the centre, and remain flexible at the front of the foot and in the centre along the axis of the shoe.
- the only solution used at the present time essentially consists in assembling, i.e. joining and/or superposing different pieces, for example by stitching or sticking, previously cut out from respectively different materials, for example flexible fabric and strong fabric; each of these pieces performing, in the area where it is arranged on the part obtained by assembly, approximately a single function, for example support of the foot on both sides in the case of a racket sport shoe.
- assembly can only be performed in practice by manual operations such as stitching or sticking, and hardly lends itself to automation for mass-produced articles, such as sport shoes. Furthermore, such an assembly, however well it is performed, generates lines of weakness or of lesser strength, precisely along the joining lines between the assembled pieces.
- the purpose of the present invention is to remedy the shortcomings identified in the foregoing.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a technical fabric, considered as a semi-product, or more exactly a pre-product, or direct precursor of a textile part, itself essential for manufacturing, obtaining, or producing an article, or a finished product, for example a sports footwear upper.
- An object of the present invention is to provide such a technical fabric, defined on a case by case basis, from the above-mentioned textile part, analysed and considered in situ, i.e. in the finished product in which it is integrated or of which it forms a part, once said product has been manufactured.
- An object of the present invention is to provide such a technical fabric defined from its technical or practical properties or characteristics, differentiated according to the areas of the textile part involved, according to the use, usage, or properties required for the article to which the textile part belongs after manufacturing.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a technical fabric designed and obtained from the functions and properties differentiated by design or according to the use of the textile part and/or of the finished part in which the textile part is integrated.
- An object of the present invention is to obtain a multifunctional flexible part of the technical textile type, of small thickness, able to be worked three-dimensionally, or formable, so as to obtain a finished article or product either directly or indirectly, in particular with other components.
- the object of the invention is to achieve a single multifunctional part, or mono-part, as opposed, for the same purposes or for the same objective, to multiple parts, all and each of which are monofunctional, assembled to one another.
- the present invention is characterized in that:
- the present invention described in the foregoing in general manner achieves a new technical fabric, i.e. obtained directly in one and the same weaving operation.
- This fabric is characterized in that it has in general manner a monolithic or monoblock construction or structure, as opposed to a patched or stacked structure, i.e. obtained by assembly, for example stitching, of different or identical pieces.
- this monolithic structure is heterogeneous as far as its constitution is concerned, i.e. it comprises a multiplicity of textile sectors, i.e. woven, discrete, i.e. of individualised items of fabrics, the ordered construction of which differs from one textile sector to another according to the direction of the warp and/or that of the weft.
- these textile or discrete woven sectors differ from one another, for example two by two, adjacent or separated from one another, by at least one of the following parameters:
- a technical fabric according to the present invention is essentially formed by straight threads and/or mixed line threads, in so far as it is the woven structure that essentially gives it its consistence, in particular its quasi-indeformability, which does not exclude that:
- Each textile sector i.e. each individualised fabric item, has any appropriate shape and dimensions suitable for circumscribing the shape and dimensions of the area of the multifunctional flexible part which has to be contained in and be cut in said sector of the technical fabric.
- This shape is in general quadrangular, square or rectangular when a weaving loom other than a Jacquard is implemented to weave a fabric part according to the invention.
- a part or a technical fabric according to the invention can be constructed so that one or more identical or different templates are repeated on the fabric along the axis or in the direction of the warp and/or along the axis or in the direction of the weft, each template being constituted or constructed according to the invention, i.e. being on its own a technical fabric of monolithic or monoblock but heterogeneous, structure, as it comprises a multiplicity of discrete textile sectors the ordered weaved construction of which differs from one textile sector to another.
- a technical fabric according to the invention can comprise one or more textile sectors having a three-dimensional, i.e. 3D, structure/construction or presenting a certain thickness, whereas the others are two-dimensional or two-directional, or 2D, all these sectors remaining obtained by a single weaving operation.
- a technical fabric according to the invention can be obtained with any suitable weaving loom comprising a number of frames adapted to the complexity, including the number of different textile sectors, of said fabric, for example a rapier weaving loom comprising 16 frames or blades.
- a technical fabric according to the present invention therefore makes it possible to group, and above all to zone or localise, on a single flexible part, such as a shoe upper, all the properties/characteristics required or designed with respect to the finished article product in which said part is integrated.
- a technical fabric according to the invention therefore not only enables weight to be saved, but also enables the manpower required for the purposes of manufacturing the finished product to be limited to the strict minimum, or even enables automated production of the latter to be considered.
- the present invention concerns any use or employment of a template, and more generally of a technical fabric as defined in the foregoing, to obtain directly by flat cutting in the fabric at least one flexible construction part that is monolithic or monoblock, but heterogeneous, as it comprises a multiplicity of discrete textile areas having respectively different functions, properties/characteristics from one area to another; each discrete textile area being by definition and individualised fabric part, the ordered construction of which differs from one textile area to another, in the direction of the warp and/or of the weft, but at least one of the following parameters:
- cutting means for example by laser or punch
- the latter can be positioned and referenced solely with respect to the design or arrangement of the textile sectors on the technical fabric so that the functional areas are individually and respectively contained in the different textile sectors of the fabric.
- the present invention relates to a monolithic or monoblock, but heterogeneous, flexible part able to be obtained by the use or implementation of a template, relates more generally to an identical technical fabric to the one defined in the foregoing, and relates in particular to a flexible part comprising a multiplicity of discrete textile areas, also as defined in the foregoing.
- the present invention further relates to a manufacturing method of a finished article or product, comprising a flexible part made from multisectored technical fabric according to the invention, defined and described in the foregoing.
- a flexible part made from multisectored technical fabric according to the invention, defined and described in the foregoing.
- Such a finished article is for example a footwear article, in particular a sport shoe, for example a shoe for the pursuit of a racket sport; and, in this case, the flexible part defined or described above directly constitutes the essential part of the footwear article upper.
- the present invention therefore relates to a footwear article, in particular a sport shoe, for example a shoe for the pursuit of a racket sport, the upper of which is formed by or comprises a technical fabric, of monolithic or monoblock, but heterogeneous, construction or structure, as it comprises a multiplicity of discrete textile sectors each constituting an individualised fabric part the ordered construction which differs from one textile sector to another, in the direction of the warp and/or that of the weft, by at least one of the following parameters:
- a footwear article produced according to the present invention enables good dynamic performances, or others, of the shoe to be conciliated with a weight which remains light, while at the same time ensuring effective support of the foot.
- article or “product” refers to an object, for example a manufactured object, ready-to-use or for a given use, such as a footwear article, for example a sport shoe.
- fabric refers to a half-product, semi-product, or pre-product, which itself has to be worked or fashioned to obtain a component such as a flexible part, or directly a finished article or product.
- thread is, as understood in the textile industry, any single-dimensional strand having a length larger than its width and/or thickness, comprising filaments, spun threads, fibers, continuous or discontinuous threads, cables, or others, constituted by various materials, in general technical materials, i.e. presenting functional or improved properties/characteristics.
- warp threads and/or weft threads of the technical fabric according to the invention each comprise at least one mechanically strong material, for example a high tenacity polyamide (PA HT), and/or a para-aramid, and/or an abrasion-resistant material, for example a polyamide, and may be coated for example with a polyurethane which may if applicable be charged with ceramic.
- PA HT high tenacity polyamide
- para-aramid para-aramid
- an abrasion-resistant material for example a polyamide
- the threads of the fabric, warp threads and/or weft threads, according to the invention have essentially the same size, expressed for example in DTex.
- the warp threads and/or weft threads individually have a simple construction, for example a mono-filament, or a complex construction, for example by assembly by portion of several elementary threads, or by reaming of one or more threads around a strand core.
- the term “flexible part” refers to any part as obtained by cutting, by any suitable means (for example by punching, or laser cutting), marked or referenced with respect to the drawing, generated or constituted by arrangement of different textile sectors, present on the technical fabric according to the invention.
- This flexible part comprises a multiplicity of textile areas resulting directly from the registered cutting of the multisector fabric, these areas having respectively different functions, properties or characteristics which are exactly those of the different sectors of the technical fabric in which the cuttings of the different areas are respectively contained.
- This flexible part therefore ultimately has the same construction, and therefore the same consistence, as those of the technical fabric used for cutting, and can be shaped directly, without any other particular measurement, to achieve the required finished article or product.

- the fabric insert is constructed in such a way that one or more identical or different rectangular templates, themselves multisector as defined in the foregoing, are repeated on the fabric in the direction of the warp and/or the direction of the weft.
- Each template is designed to be cut to directly obtain at least one multifunctional flexible part according to the invention.
- this industrial modality makes it possible to obtain by cutting in a single technical fabric part, the two uppers (left and right feet) not only of one pair of shoes, but also of pairs of difference sizes.
- At least one sector of the fabric or at least one area of the flexible part comprises thermofusible warp threads and/or weft threads so as to be suitable for subsequent heat treatment to link and fix the threads to one another, for example to form and/or rigidify the flexible part.
- the present invention relates to a technical fabric able to be obtained by chaining of the steps according to the invention defined in the foregoing, i.e. (a) (mapping), (b) (construction of the technical fabric), and (c) weaving of the fabric in a single weaving operation.
- a technical fabric according to the invention considered as a semi-product, half-product, or pre-product, presents the aspect of a “patchwork” (but without stitching or other links) or “mosaic” of sectors, for example of rectangular shape, respectively differing according to at least one of the following parameters:
- the invention enables the latter to be functionalised at will, or on a case by case basis, according to the warp and/or weft, in correspondence with the mapping selected or designed for the finished article or product obtained with a technical fabric according to the invention.
- the registered cut will exactly reproduce the mapping thus selected.
- the invention totally circumvents a possible symmetry of the finished article product in which the flexible part is integrated, such as a pair of shoes, for which, for any one shoe, the left side differs from the right side and the right shoe differs from the left shoe.
- a single fabric part can be constructed comprising two templates side by side or one above the other, one for the left foot and the other for the right foot, differing from one another by the asymmetric construction of these same textile sectors, or “mirror” textile sectors, i.e. which correspond by 180° rotation around an axis in the lap or the plane of the fabric.
- the symmetry of a flexible part no longer opposes differentiated zoning of the latter in a single-layer technical fabric, in the same way as two flexible parts identical as far as their zoning is concerned but not able to be superposed, can be obtained from one and the same part or width of single-layer technical fabric.
- the present invention relates to a manufacturing method of a finished article or product, integrating, comprising, or constituted by a multifunctional flexible part, which either completely or partially gives said finished article or product the technical and practical functions, properties/characteristics which are its own, i.e. different properties/characteristics from one discrete area to another of said part.
- a footwear article will be considered in the following, and more particularly a sport shoe, for example a shoe for the pursuit of a racket sport.
- the upper is directly a multifunctional flexible part obtained as defined in the foregoing.
- FIG. 1 which represents, in a flat view, the asymmetric upper 1 of a tennis shoe, the left foot, showing lacing holes 2 on each side of an axial gullet 30 (cf. axis of asymmetry 20 ), for a lace to pass through;
- FIGS. 2 and 3 respectively represent a first and second mappings, or templates 41 and 42 , respectively of the same upper represented in FIG. 1 ;
- FIGS. 4 and 5 present two templates 61 and 62 drawn or plotted in respectively different technical fabrics according to the invention, in a warp( 6 )/weft( 5 ) system of the fabric to which they belong, constructed according to the mappings or templates 41 and 42 of FIGS. 2 and 3 respectively;
- FIG. 6 schematically represents, in a flat view, a technical fabric part 3 comprising templates 4 repeated in the direction of the weft 5 , and also in the direction of the warp 6 , each template having for example a textile construction according to FIG. 4 explained with reference to Example 1, or according to FIG. 5 explained with reference to Example 2;
- FIG. 7 schematically represents, in cross-section, a footwear article 7 , for example a sport shoe, more particularly a tennis shoe, comprising or integrating a previously formed multifunctional flexible part 1 constituting the upper of the shoe, then assembled by sticking or thermo-adhesion with a sole 8 .
- FIG. 1 the upper 1 of a sport shoe is represented in a flat view, the shoe in this instance being a tennis shoe, for example represented schematically in cross-section in FIG. 7 , from which the present invention will now be explained in detail.
- this upper is a flexible part, formed by assembly in adjacent and/or superposed manner, by sticking and/or stitching, of different pieces made from different flexible materials of small thickness, for example leather, fabric, or plastic material in sheet form, etc.
- a detailed explanation will not be given here of this assembly, which is represented in FIG. 1 in simplified manner by different drawings inside the line 71 delineating the upper of the shoe represented in flat manner.
- axis of asymmetry when a shoe is involved, is the intersection of the horizontal plane with the sagittal plane of a foot, on each side of which, as shown by FIG. 1 , the two halves of the shoe receiving said foot are respectively different, at least as far as their respective shapes are concerned.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 from the template of the upper represented in FIG. 1 , and marked as previously indicated, i.e. from the axis of asymmetry 20 , from the front to the back of the shoe, taking account of the stresses to which the latter is subjected, two respectively different zonings can be established or chosen according to the templates 41 and 42 of FIGS. 2 and 3 respectively.
- C 1 refers to an area, called third area, which, on each side of an area C 2 , will have to contribute to support of the foot.
- a to E from the front to the back of the shoe, refer to different weft strips, staged from the front to the back of the shoe, each comprising a series of areas as set out in the foregoing; for example, A refers to a narrow strip, at the front of the shoe, which will have to resist abrasion, whereas E refers to a broad strip, at the back of the shoe, which will have to perform support of the foot while enabling thermoforming of the upper.
- a template 41 or 42 zoned as in the foregoing, i.e. according to the functional, technical, or practical choice or choices, or the choice of performances of the designer/manufacturer of the shoe, and therefore of the upper a template is constructed in the direction of the warp 6 and in the direction of the weft 5 , respectively 61 or 62 , or a technical fabric part comprising the latter, having a monolithic or monoblock, but heterogeneous structure, as it results from the textile construction choices set out in the following.
- the two templates 61 and 62 represented in FIGS. 4 and 5 respectively belong to the two respectively different, multi-sectored technical fabrics 31 and 32 .
- the elementary or discrete textile sectors to be obtained by a single weaving operation can then be differentiated by the choice of the constructions or weavings used from one sector to the other, as shown in Examples 1 and 2 ci- publication.
- the density or thread count of the warp threads and/or of the weft threads can be varied to respectively achieve different textile or woven sectors, as also shown in Examples 1 and 2 below.
- the fabrics according to Examples 1 and 2 below are obtained by weaving with a rapier loom comprising sixteen frames.
- the distance 203/201 is 18 cm
- the distance between 201 and 202 is 7.5 cm
- the distance between 202 and 204 is 3.5 cm.
- the textile sector (a 1 ) having a plain weaving differs from the textile sector (a 2 ) having a plain weaving by the construction of the warp threads, and from the textile sector (b 1 ) having a natté weaving by the construction of the weft threads.
- the distance 203/200 or 200/204 is 145 cm.
