    “FOOTWEAR ITEM WITH BRAIDED TOP”
    CROSS REFERENCE WITH RELATED APPLICATIONS [001] This application claims priority for Provisional Patent Application US 61 / 839,097, filed on June 25, 2013, and entitled “Article of Footwear with Braided Upper” (Legal Document N Q. 51-3210 ), all of which are incorporated by reference and referred to throughout the detailed description as the “Braided Upper” application. This application is also related to the copending US N Q Patent Application Publication. 14 / 163,438, filed on January 24, 2014, now US Patent Application N Q .____________, and entitled “Braided Upper with Overlays for Article of Footwear” (Legal Document N Q. 513427), all of which is incorporated here by reference.
    BACKGROUND [002] The present modalities refer in general to footwear articles, and in particular to footwear articles with a braided upper.
    [003] Typical athletic shoes have two main components, an upper that provides the closure to receive the foot, and a sole attached to the upper. The upper can be adjusted using laces, velcro fasteners or other devices to properly secure the shoe to the foot. The sole has primary contact with the playing surface. The sole can be designed to absorb impact when the shoe contacts the ground or other surfaces. The upper can be designed to provide the right type of protection for the foot and maximize user comfort.
    SUMMARY [004] In one aspect, shoe item modalities have a sole and an upper fixed to the sole. The upper part has a braided structure that has a first region with a first density of braids and at least a second region with a different density of braids. High braids
    2/35 density can be used in areas of footwear that require more stability, more durability and more resistance.
    [005] In another aspect, a modality is a shoe item with a sole and an upper, the upper has a braided structure and is fixed to the sole, the upper has a higher braid density around the perimeter of its neck and around your ankle opening.
    [006] In yet another aspect, modalities of the shoe article have an upper part formed of a braided structure fixed on the sole. The braided structure has a first high density band on the side of the shoe with the sole on the front of the foot and fixed on the middle side of the shoe on the sole in the middle of the foot. The braided structure has a second high-density band fixed on the side of the sole in the midfoot region and on the middle side of the sole in the forefoot region.
    [007] In yet another aspect, modalities of the article of a shoe are made of a braided structure forming an upper part for the shoe and a sole fixed on the upper part. Floating cables are tied through a part of the braided structure of the upper part in different regions of the upper part. Floating cables can be attached at one end to eyelets at the top, and at the other end to the sole.
    [008] In yet another aspect, modalities of the shoe article include a sole supporting hitch components on the ground and an upper fixed to the sole. The upper part has a neck, a heel region, a mid-foot region, and a forefoot region. She has a low density braid in the middle of the foot and a high density braid in the heel. It also has a high density braid around the neck and another high density band in front of the top neck. The upper part has an integrated side lace tied through the high density braid band on the
    3/35 middle side of the footwear in an eye on the middle side.
    [009] In yet another aspect, an upper for a shoe has a heel region, a mid-foot region, and a forefoot region. The upper part has eyelets arranged on each side of a neck. The upper part has a braided structure with high density braid strips in the heel and midfoot region, and low density braid strips in the forefoot and in the toe region. It also has a side shoelace attached to the side of the top on a bottom of the side of the top; and a shoelace on the middle side attached to a middle side of the upper part on a bottom of the middle side of the upper part. The laces are then tied through the braided structure and through at least one eyelet on the side of the upper part and at least one eyelet on the middle side of the upper part.
    [010] In yet another aspect, a method of manufacturing braided tops uses braiding over the formwork to manufacture the braided tops. A formwork with pins marking several bands having greater or lesser densities can be fed through a braiding device, once or twice to produce the desired braided structure.

    a. DETAILED DESCRIPTION [039] Modalities of the shoe article with a braided upper include braided upper parts that have projected regions adapted to a user's foot. The braided uppers can be attached to a sole using stitching, stapling, fusing, adhesives or any other method of attachment, footwear items having different performance and / or comfort characteristics can be designed by varying, for example, the braiding angle, the braiding step, the braiding cover and / or other parameters. The braided upper part may also have different materials having different mechanical or other properties in different parts of the upper part to provide specific characteristics in specific regions of the upper part.
    [040] Braided fabrics can be formed by intertwining three or more strands of yarn, filaments or other fibers to form the fabric. In the example shown in Figure 1, the strands 11 are interwoven to form a fabric 10 with an open structure.
    [041] Braiding can be used to form three-dimensional structures, as in the example shown in Figure 2, by strands of wire braiding over a shape or form. The strands 21 can be manufactured from fibers such as nylon, carbon, polyurethane, polyester, cotton, aramid (e.g., Kevlar®), polyethylene or polypropylene. These strands can be braided to form three-dimensional structures for a wide variety of applications. For example, three-dimensional braided structures can be used to manufacture products when varied such as bicycle helmets, components
    7/35 aircraft fuselage, and rocket nozzles.
    [042] Braided structures can be manufactured manually, or they can be manufactured using automatic braiding machinery, such as the machinery described in US Patents N Q. 7,252,028; 8. 261,848; 5,361,674; 5,398,586; and 4,275,638, all of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety here. Such three-dimensional braided structures can also be manufactured for a specific project, for example, by TEF Braids, Warrensburg, NY or A&P Technology, Cincinnati, Ohio.
    [043] In some modalities, articles of clothing and / or footwear may use one or more braided structures or configurations. In some embodiments, a shoe item may include one or more regions that comprise a braided structure. For example, an upper part may include one or more layers of woven material. In an exemplary embodiment, a substantial majority of an upper dope comprises a braided construction. An exemplary configuration is shown in Figure 3, which comprises shoe item 100 with a braided uppers 101. Details of this particular embodiment are discussed below.
    [044] In some embodiments, tops made from braided material can be much lighter than tops made using other materials. Such upper parts can also be manufactured to be compatible with the user's foot. The perimeters of the material - for example, at the ankle opening or the neck of the upper part - can be fixed using stitching, adhesives, fusion or another method so that the braid does not come apart. By controlling the density of the braid in regions other than the top, those regions can be, for example, softer and more flexible for comfort, or more rigid for more stability and support. Specific examples of footwear with different braid densities in different regions of the footwear are
    8/35 described below.
    [045] The braided top can also be manufactured using cords made from different materials, as shown in certain embodiments described below. This provides additional flexibility in the manufacture of footwear for specific athletic or recreational activities. For example, laces made of a material with a greater tensile strength can be used on those sections of the footwear that experience greater tension during a specific activity. Softer and more flexible laces can be used in sections of the shoe that are not subject to high tension, provide a more comfortable upper and fit strictly in those sections. Cords of an abrasion-resistant material can be used in particular regions of the shoe that may experience frequent contact against abrasive surfaces such as concrete or sand. Cords of a more durable material can be used in those regions of an upper part that experience frequent contact with other surfaces, such as the surface of a football or football.
    [046] In some embodiments, strands with different material properties could be braided together, or otherwise associated with each other, to provide specific properties in one or more regions of an upper part. For example, a top can be made of fibers that stretch to a certain degree, when the user's foot moves through each step he or she takes, thus increasing the user's comfort. In this case, high tensile strength, non-elastic fibers can be threaded through those specific regions of the shoe that require additional structural support. As another example, a top can be manufactured with a more open braid in some areas, for example, to improve breathing capacity or comfort. In this case, additional fibers can be tied through the braid to provide additional support in certain parts of those areas, or to provide increased durability by regions of
    9/35 high impact of footwear.
    [047] The upper part may also have floating cables, that is, wires that are not woven into the fabric of the upper part can be used to relieve tension in certain sections of the upper part. Floating cables can be made of a different material that is separated from and not attached to the braided structure. The threads can also be used as laces to attach the shoe to the foot, or to tighten certain parts of the shoe, as described below. For example, the threads can be attached to a first end of the sole of the shoe, and to a second end to an eyelet, for example. Such floating cables can also be used to add support and stability to certain parts of the shoe, such as around the ankle opening.
    [048] Using braiding, the upper parts for footwear can be designed with specific aspects adapted for an athletic or recreational activity. Braided upper parts can be very light while conforming closely and comfortably to the user's feet, in some embodiments, the top fitting can be adjusted to provide the specific degree of tension or tightness that the user may prefer. Braided upper parts are characterized by tight restraint on the user's foot. In some modalities, the braided fabric can wrap all around the shoe, as shown in the figures below. Such a structure has tension integrity or "tensegrity", in that the user's foot is in compression, while the braided cords are in tension around the user's foot.
    [049] The braided upper can be fixed to a sole structure using adhesives, welding, molding, fusing, sewing, stapling or other appropriate methods. The sole may include an insole made of a relatively soft material to provide cushioning. The sole is generally made of a more abrasion resistant, harder material, such as rubber or EVA. The sole
    10/35 may have hitch structures on the ground, such as latches or tips on its bottom surface, to provide increased traction.
    [050] Some modalities may include braided uppers that extend under the foot, thereby providing 360 degree coverage in some regions of the foot. However, other modalities do not need to include upper parts that extend under the foot. In other embodiments, for example, a braided upper part could have a lower periphery joined with a sole structure and / or sock lining.
    [051] Figure 3 is a front side perspective view of a modality of a shoe item, for example, a running shoe. As illustrated in Figure 3, the upper part 101 of a shoe article 100 can generally be described as having an ankle region 102, an heel region 103, a midfoot or instep region 104, a front region foot 105, and a toe region 106. The shoe article has an opening 109 at the top of the ankle region 102 that allows the user to insert a foot at the top. The shoe article 100 also has a middle side 107 and a side 108. In the example shown in Figure 3, the shoe article also has a sole 110, a neck 112 and a shoe lace 113. The sole of the shoe article 100 it can be fixed to the upper part 101 by any of several well known means, such as melting, molding, welding, sewing, stapling or adhesives.
    [052] In some embodiments, the upper part 101 may comprise one or more layers of woven materials, as well as an optional external cover, which is not shown in Figure 3, but is discussed in more detail below with reference to Figure 6. In in particular, in some embodiments, the upper part 101 comprises several strands 111 which are braided together in a single braided construction having the total geometry of a shoe or foot form. As previously discussed, the braided construction formed by several strands 111 can
    11/35 not be uniform, so that the braided configuration and / or the materials of the braided strands could vary over different regions of the upper part 101.
    [053] In some embodiments, the upper part 101 may be formed from a braided structure 199. The braided structure 199 may be a structure forming at least some parts of the upper part 101, including, for example, the ankle region 102 , the heel region 103, the midfoot or instep region 104, the forefoot region 105, and the toe region 106, as well as the lateral 108 and the middle side 107. The braided structure 199 it is formed as a unitary braided structure. As used here, a woven structure (for example, woven structure 199) is defined as a "unitary woven structure" when formed as an element of a piece through a braiding process. That is, the braiding process substantially forms the various aspects and structures of the braided component without the need for additional steps or manufacturing processes. In addition, as used here, a single braided structure has structures or elements that share at least one thread, cord, filament or other braiding elements in common. Thus it can be understood that whenever two or more parts or regions of a braided structure comprise part of the same unitary braided structure, these parts will share at least one element of common braiding, such as a thread, cord, filament or other element used to form braided.
    [054] As an example of a braided construction property that can vary across different regions of the braided structure 199 and therefore the upper part 101 which is comprised of the braided structure 199, the density of the braid can be varied. For example, in one embodiment, the various strands 111 can be configured in a relatively open weave, as shown in the front region of the foot 105 of the shoe article 100, or in a higher density weave, as shown by beech 121 in the rear. the forefoot region
    12/35
    105, the stripe 122 around the opening 109 and the stripe 123 around the neck 112. Strips with lower density strands can be lighter, more comfortable and more easily ventilated, while strands of higher density can provide stability additional, shape and strength. Also, different strips can be manufactured from strands having different physical and other properties, such as tensile strength, elasticity, diameter, shape or color.
    [055] In some embodiments, the front region of the foot 105, the stripe 121, the stripe 122 and the stripe 123 comprise parts of a common braided structure 199, which is a unitary braided structure. Therefore, although some properties may vary between the front region of the foot 105, the band 121, the band 122 and the band 123, such as density, strength, etc., these parts may share at least one thread, thread, cord, filament or another woven element in common.
    [056] It will be understood that each of the modalities described in this detailed description and in the figures, of a braided upper part, can be at least partially comprised of a single braided construction so that two or more different parts of the upper parts can always share a thread, thread, cord, filament or other woven element in common.
    [057] As previously discussed, some modalities of the upper part 101 include an external cover (not shown in Figure 3). External covers for braided tops are described below in connection with Figure 6, Figure 18 and Figure 19. For clarity, they are not shown in the other figures, as they would hide the aspects being described. Other modalities may use an internal cover or lining layer (see Figure 6) between the braided structure and the user's foot, in addition to or instead of an external cover.
    [058] Braided structures can vary in different modalities. Per
    For example, stranded structures can vary in structural properties such as the number of strands in the strand, the diameter of one or more strands of the strand, the density of the strands and the material properties of the strands such as elasticity, stiffness, tensile strength, compressibility, as well as possibly other material properties.
    [059] The term “braided configuration” is used to refer to the relative arrangement of different components, including braided elements, braided density, strands, shoelaces and floating cables. The configuration of a braided upper part could vary over different regions of the structure. Incorporating regions with different braided configurations at the top, different regions can be configured with a variety of different properties, to improve the performance of the shoe and increase user comfort. As an example, using a different braid pattern on different parts of a braided structure within an upper part can create different braid densities in these different parts, which can result in different ventilation properties for the parts.
    [060] The modalities represent footwear articles including uppers with parts having different braided configurations and / or different material properties. However, as previously discussed, these upper parts can be formed of single braided structures, such that two different parts having different braided configurations can, however, share one or more threads, threads, strands, filaments or other braiding elements in common. Furthermore, in at least some embodiments, different braided configurations can be obtained in different parts of an upper part by varying the braiding pattern in some way. In other words, in at least some modalities, different parts of an upper part having different braided configurations can share a set
    14/35 substantially identical of wires, threads, cords, etc. Of course, in other embodiments, different parts of an upper part may have some threads of different material properties, although these different parts may still share at least one thread, thread or other braiding element in common.
    [061] Figure 3 described above and Figures 4-19 described below illustrate different modalities of upper parts that are configured with several regions having substantially different braided configurations. The configuration of a braided top can be designed using different braid densities in different parts of the top, using different braid patterns, using floating cables to produce additional tension in specific regions, or using different braiding materials in different regions of the part higher. For example, different parts of an upper part could have different strand densities and / or could be comprised of strands having different stretching or compressibility characteristics. Varying the stretch or compressibility characteristics of one or more parts of an upper part can help to control comfort and sensation in different locations. For example, increased stretch or compressibility in some locations can reduce deformation and change the feel of the top. In some cases, using highly stretchable and compressible cords on at least some parts of an upper part can give those parts a sock-like feeling.
    [062] For example, the running shoe example shown in Figure 3 was designed to provide the appropriate level of structural stability, support, durability and comfort, as follows. A higher density braiding strip 121 across the forefoot provides structural integrity across the front when the runner pushes against the ground. The range of
    15/35 greater density 122 around opening 109 provides additional durability, cushioning and support for the foot area below the ankle. The higher density range 123 around the neck 112 reinforces the region around the shoe laces, so that the user can pull the laces to close the shoe neck around the user's foot. The high density band 123 also provides greater durability for the region around the shoe laces. The regions of lower density in the larger regions of the shoe result in lighter shoes, more breathing capacity, and more comfort. In particular, for example, the front part of the forefoot region 105 as well as most of the midfoot region 104 and the heel region 103 are configured with a braid of substantially lower density than the braid in range 121, range 122 and / or track 123.
    [063] The use of woven materials with different weaving densities, shown in the example in Figure 3, can be applied to a wide variety of shoes. For example, Figure 4 and Figure 5 are a side view and an average side view, respectively, of an example of a shoe item with a braided upper part 200 that can be used as a football shoe, for example. The braided upper part 200 is shown without its outer cover in figure 4 and Figure 5. Figure 6 is a front top view of the shoe, showing the outer cover 250 of the braided upper part 200. The example shown in Figures 4-6 has a toe region 206, a forefoot region 204, a midfoot region 203, an heel region 202 and ankle region 201. In some cases, sole 220 may have latches 240 for improved traction. The upper part 200 can be fixed to the sole 220 using sewing, stapling, overmoulding, melting, adhesives and other fixing methods.
    [064] The modality shown in figure4 uses a high density braid
    16/35
    205 in the toe region 206 to provide additional protection in the toe of the shoe 200. This modality can be used, for example, as a football shoe. In this case, a higher density braid in the 205 toe region (especially on the middle side, which is shown in Figure 5) of the shoe protects the user's toe and the front of the foot when the user kicks the ball. The shoe has a lower density braid in the heel region 202 and the midfoot region 203, compared to the density of the braid in the midfoot region 204 and toe region 205.
    [065] In some embodiments, the upper part 200 includes several strips or extended regions having braided configurations that differ from the surrounding regions of the upper part 200. For example, a stripe 210 of greater density in the front foot region 204 of the upper part extends laterally from the side 213 of the shoe to its middle side. Another strip 211 extends from the same location diagonally across the instep to a location below the front of the ankle on the mid side. A similar band 212 extends from the side at a location below the front of the ankle to the location on the mid side which is the end point for band 210. Thus band 211 and band 212 cross at the apex of the mid-foot region 203 from the top 200. These high density bands provide compression and stability in selected regions of the midfoot region 203.
    [066] As can be seen in Figures 4-6, the upper part 200 has a more open structure in the middle of the foot 203, allowing greater comfort and flexibility. It has a slightly less open structure in the heel, ankle and mid-foot region. Band 210, band 211 and band 212 provide compression in the midfoot region 203, to restrict a user's foot from sliding inside the shoe. The more open structure elsewhere in the middle of the foot provides a lighter upper part with greater user comfort.
    17/35 [067] Figure 5 and Figure 6 are a middle side view and a front top perspective view, respectively, of the example of a braided upper part 200 shown in a strip at the rear of the forefoot 205. The band 210 has a higher density braid in the front region of the foot 205 of the upper part extending laterally from the side 213 of the shoe to the middle side 214. The band 211 and the band 212 are bands of greater density that extend diagonally over the instep and cross at its apex. Figure 5 also shows a region of high density 260 in the forefoot joining the sole on the middle side of the shoe, which is a part of the shoe that would have frequent contact with, for example, a football. As noted above, the high density region 260 in the forefoot and the high density region 205 in the toes protect the user's toe and forefoot when the user kicks the ball, and provides increased durability in those high impact regions. These high density regions can optionally be manufactured from laces that have increased durability, abrasion resistance and wear resistance, compared to the laces used for other parts of the shoe.
    [068] Figure 6 is a perspective view of the upper part of Figures 4 and 5. The upper part 200 is shown in Figure 6 with an external cover 250. The braided structure is shown in dashed lines. In the call shown in Figure 6, the outer cover 250 is shown covering fibers 251 that form the braided structure of the braided upper part 200. The shoe can optionally also have an inner cover 252, on the inner side of the braided structure. The formation of an external and / or internal cover is discussed below with reference to Figures 18 and 19.
    [069] As previously mentioned, in some embodiments, different parts of a braided top may comprise cords having
    18/35 different material characteristics, such as stretching and / or compressibility. For example, in some embodiments, the stripe 210, the stripe 211 and / or the stripe 212 seen in Figures 5 and 6, could be made of strands that extend less than the strands that form the adjacent parts of the forefoot 204 and the midfoot region 203. In such modalities, the band 210, the band 211 and the band 212 can therefore suffer less stretching in relation to adjacent strands, which can help band 210, band 211 d / or band 212 to function as integrated strips that hold the upper part 200 in place on one foot.
    [070] Figures 7 and 8 are a medium side view and a top front perspective view, respectively, of another modality. This modality could be adapted to use as a trail shoe, for example. In this embodiment, the shoe article 300 has a heel region 303, a midfoot region 304, a front foot region 305 and a toe region 306. Opening 309 allows a user to insert their foot into the shoe, it also has a thin 320 sole, which provides traction and cushioning. If used as a trail shoe, the 320 sole could have 321 toes.
    [071] This modality may or may not have an external cover or an internal cover such as those shown in Figure 6. For convenience, this mode is shown in Figures 7 and 8 without an external cover or an internal cover. This modality has a high density braided region 310 at the rear of the front region of the foot 305, and a density braided region 311 extending from the heel to the front of the user's ankle. It also has a 313 low density braided region in the mid-foot 304 region of the shoe. This low density open braided midfoot region allows the shoe to comfortably expand and fit around the wearer's foot. Unlike the modality of Figures 4-6, this modality has an open neck 315, as best seen in Figure 8. It also has eyelets 312 formed on each side of the
    19/35 open neck 315. Eyelets 312 can be formed in any way. In some embodiments, eyelets 312 may be formed of open loops of the braiding material. In other embodiments, eyelets 312 can be formed leaving openings in the braided structure as shown in Figures 7 and 8. In still other embodiments, eyelets 312 can be separate components attached to the rim on each side of the open neck using stitching, stapling, fusing or other means of attachment.
    [072] Referring to Figures 7 and 8, some embodiments include cords made of different materials having different material characteristics. For example, in some embodiments, the high density braided region 310, the heel region 303 and the strings surrounding eyelets 312 can be made of a first material that is substantially different than a second material comprising a low density braided region 313. In in some embodiments, the second material may have more stretching and / or compressibility than the first material. This configuration can increase the stretch in the low density braided region 313 to better fit the sides of a foot while reducing the stretch in the heel region 303, around eyelets 312 and through the rear of the forefoot region 305. Such variations in material properties can help to create necessary support structures within the shoe article 300 that frame or support the most flexible regions.
    [073] Upper section modalities may include mechanisms to adjust the tension on the user's foot. In the embodiment shown in Figure 9, a shoe item 400 has a relatively lower density braid in the midfoot region 413, in the forefoot region 414 and in the toe region 406, providing comfort and improved breathability in those areas. In addition, article 400 has a higher density range 410 through the shoe in front of the neck 415, the high density range 422 around the neck 415 and high density range 411 in
    20/35 around the opening 409, to provide additional strength and stability in those regions, this modality uses a conventional shoe lace 421 to secure the shoe item 400 around the user's foot.
    [074] In this embodiment, shoe item 400 includes several laces 451 on each side of the midfoot region 413 and several laces 452 on each side of the front of neck 415 that can be used to adjust the tension around the foot of the user. Several strands 451 and several strands 452 extend from the floor of the shoe to the eyelets on each side of the throat 415. Several strands 451 and several strands 452 are floating with respect to the braid, that is, they are not attached to the braid, except possibly at the end the sole and at the end of the eyelets. They can be attached to the sole and eyelets, so that when the sole laces 421 are tightened, tension is experienced by several strands 451 and several strands 452, thus relieving tension on the braided structure itself.
    [075] Other modalities may use integrated laces to allow a user to adjust the tension on the sides of the shoe to their best preference. For example, the modality shown in Figure 10 uses two different integrated laces, a shoelace on the middle side 421 and a shoelace on the side 420, which are integrated on the sides of the upper part 400. Each shoe is attached to the bottom of the shoe in the sole, in their respective middle or lateral side. The shoelace on the middle side 421 is interlaced through the open braided midfoot region 404 on the middle side of the shoe for, for example, the upper eyelet (or first) on the middle side of the neck opening. Then it is looped through the second eyelet on the side of the neck opening, the third eyelet on the middle side, the fourth eyelet on the side, etc. The side lace 20 is attached to the sole of the shoe, and then looped through the open braided midfoot region 404 on the side of the shoe, to the upper eyelet (or first) on the side of the neck opening. Then it is looped through the second eyelet on the middle side of the neck opening, the third eyelet on the side, the fourth eyelet on the
    21/35 middle side, etc. After being linked through the bottom eyelets on the middle and side sides, the lace 420 and lace 421 can be fastened around the user's foot, the two lace can be tied together using a loop knot 423 or any other suitable node. The upper part 400 has a high density region 410 that provides increased tensile strength in the upper part that is under tension when the laces are tied in a 423 loop. This version allows the user to create maximum tension between the top of his foot in the in front of the ankle and in front of the heel, without putting the braided structure itself under tension.
    [076] In an alternative version of this modality, shown in Figure 11, the laces can start at the front of the shoe's sole. In this case, the side laces 430 and the middle side laces 431 are first interwoven through the high density braid 410 on the bottom eyelets 440, and loop 433 tying the laces together would be made after the laces have been interlaced through the eyelets. top The laces 430 and laces 431 can thus be used to tighten the upper around the user's foot on the neck 415. The high density braid 411 provides stability around the ankle opening and increased tensile strength when the laces they are tied to form the 433 loop. This version creates maximum tension between the top of the shoe and the eyelets on the front of the foot, and results in a loop on the top of the foot near the ankle.
    [077] It will be understood, of course, that the modalities shown in Figures 9-11 may also use different materials for strands in different regions of the upper part 400. In particular, in some embodiments, the regions associated with high density strands could use strands with less stretching and / or compressibility than the strands associated with regions of lower density. Furthermore, in alternative modalities, two different regions
    22/35 could have similar densities but different material characteristics.
    [078] The modalities may alternatively include integrated cables that provide specific properties to the braided top. In some embodiments, the upper part may have one or more integrated cables or other tensioning elements, to modify the tension control in a braided upper part. The cables may be strands of the same material as the material used to make the braided top, but they are more typically strands of a material having different properties, such as greater tensile strength, greater abrasion resistance, or a different modulus of elasticity compared with the materials used to make the top fabric.
    [079] Figure 12 and Figure 13 are a side view and a bottom view, respectively, of a shoe item 500 that includes integrated cables. Figure 12 is an illustration of the shoe without an outer cover or an inner cover, which are optional. External and / or internal covers such as those described in connection with Figure 6, Figure 18 and Figure 19 can be used, for example. In this embodiment, the floating cables 520 are interwoven through the braided structure 540 of the upper part in the ankle region 501, the heel region 502, the midfoot region 503, the forefoot region 504 and the toe region 506, so that they can slide with respect to the braided structure. In the heel region, the floating cables 520 can be attached at one side end to the side eyelet and at a middle end to an eyelet on the middle side.
    [080] Figure 12 shows that the shoe item may include a sole 550. Figure 13 illustrates the bottom of the shoe before a sole is attached. Floating cables 520 in the ankle region 501, heel region 502, midfoot region 503 and forefoot region 504, experience tension when shoe lace 521 is tightened around the neck 510 of the shoe 500, thus relieving the
    23/35 tension in the braided structure in those regions of the shoe 500, while maintaining compression on the user's foot. In addition, the floating cables 525 extend from the front of the neck 510 to the toe region 5-06, and relieve tension on the braided structure in the toe region.
    [081] Floating cables 520 and floating cables 525 provide an adjustable footwear structure. When shoe lace 521 is tightened around a user's foot, floating cables 520 and floating cables 525 provide tension integrity (or “tensegrity”) for the shoe structure, because they keep the braided structure around the foot of the compression user, while experiencing tension when the user runs, jumps, spins or engages in other activities. Because the floating cables are not attached except at their end points around the neck 510, the tension in each of the floating cables is distributed fairly evenly around the user's foot.
    [082] In an alternative version of the modality shown in Figure 12, the sole may have channels on its upper surface so that floating cables 510 and / or floating cables 525 are routed through the channels. In another version of this modality, the floating cables 520 and / or the floating cables 525 are routed under the sole. In yet another version, the floating cables are anchored in the sole on the mid side of the sole and on the side of the sole. Each of these versions can optionally have an external cover.
    [083] Figure 14 shows another modality of a shoe item, shown without its external cover, which is optional. This shoe item 600 has a heel region 602, a midfoot region 603, a forefoot region 604, a toe region 606 and a sole 610. The sole 610 can be made of rubber or EVA. It can be cast at the top, overmoulded over the top, or fixed at the top using stitching, staple or adhesives. The shoe item 600 also has 620 floating cables that are attached to a
    24/35 end in the sole 610, then they are interlaced through the braids in the heel region 602 and fixed in eyelets 622 in the neck of the shoe. The 620 cables are placed under tension when the shoe lining 651 is tightened around the user's foot. Shoe item 600 also has floating cables 651 which are woven through the front heel braids on the sole in the heel region of the shoe on the middle and side sides of shoe 600. Floating cables 651 are then retracted into the tension control device 650, positioned at the rear of the heel, as shown in Figure 14. In some modalities, a user can adjust the tension by manually twisting the tension control device 650 to tighten or loosen the cables 651. In other modalities, the control device voltage switch 650 can be operated by a servo motor, so that a user can adjust the voltage on cables 651 remotely. For example, a user could adjust the tension remotely while engaging in athletic activity.
    [084] The tension control device 650 can be any device used to control the tension of the tensioning element. Examples of different tension control devices include, but are not limited to: coil devices with ratchet mechanism, coil devices with a cam mechanism, manual tensioning devices, automatic tensioning devices, as well as possibly other types of tensioning devices. Examples of a tensioning device comprising a coil and ratchet mechanism that could be used with the modalities described here are described in US Patent Application No. Q. 12 / 623,362 to Sodeberg et al., (Published as US Patent Application Publication No. Q. 2010/139057), filed on November 20, 2009 and entitled “Reel Based Laced System”, all of which is incorporated by reference .
    [085] In some embodiments, the tensioning device can be motorized, as described in US Provisional Patent Application N Q .61 / 695953, entitled
    25/35 “Motorized Tensioning Device”, which is incorporated by reference here in its entirety.
    [086] Modalities can also be designed using different braiding strands. In the modalities described below, two or more different types of braiding cords are used to control the performance of the footwear. The strings used for braiding in certain regions of the shoe have different material properties, to produce increased or decreased tension, for example, in that region of the shoe., Different braiding materials may also have greater resistance to abrasion, greater flexibility or greater durability compared to the material used for most of the upper. In some embodiments, different braiding materials could have different stretching. In some embodiments, different braiding materials could have different compressibility.
    [087] Figure 15 and Figure 16 are a side view and a rear perspective view, respectively, of such modality, shown without an external cover. In the example shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16, shoe 700 has a heel region 702, a midfoot region 704, and a toe region 706. In this embodiment, the shoe is formed primarily using a first material for the strands 710 used to make the braided shoes 700. In addition, strings of a second different material having different characteristics can be used to form the stripe 730 and the stripe 731. Thus, the strands having different tensile strength, Young's modulus, thickness, color, flexibility and / or abrasion resistance can be used to form the 730 and / or the 731 band. For example, the laces used for these bands may have greater tensile strength to stabilize the shoe around the heel and from the top of the shoe near the ankle to the side of the forefoot, as shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16. As another example, laces can have greater resistance
    26/35 to abrasion when used in sports shoes such as beach volleyball. Also, one or more of the stripe 730 and stripe 731 can be of a different color, to produce a decorative effect, if the footwear does not have an external cover or if the external cover is transparent or translucent.
    [088] In the example shown in Figures 15 and 16, the strands in range 731 may have greater tensile strength. The tensioning device 750 can be used to increase the tension from the back of the heel to the sole, as shown in Figures 15 and 16. In this example, the cords 730 can have greater elasticity, and thus allow the upper to expand a little to allow a user to insert their foot into the 700 shoe.
    [089] In some embodiments, the strands of strip 730 and / or strip 731 could be made of materials that stretch less than strands in regions adjacent to strip 730 and / or 731. In some embodiments, the strands of strip 730 and / or strip 731 could be made of materials that compress less than the strands in regions adjacent to strip 730 and / or strip 731. In still additional embodiments, strip 730 could be configured to undergo less stretching than strip 731, while strip 730 and strip 731 suffer less stretching than strands in some other parts of article 700. In such cases, strip 730 and strip 731 could be made of two different materials with significantly different stretching properties, while the rest of article 700 could be made of a third material with still different stretching properties.
    [090] Figure 17 shows another modality in which the laces of a different material are used to stabilize the shoes around the user's foot or to provide a decorative effect. In this modality, the 800 footwear has two strips that use cords of different material. The strands for band 821 are interwoven through the braid in the braided region 810 of the midfoot region 803 over the apex of the forefoot region 804. The strands used for the 821 band can be
    27/35 more flexible and resilient than the laces used for the 810 braided material, to allow the forefoot to flex more comfortably. The 822 strap may have laces that have greater tensile strength and less flexibility than the laces used for the 810 braided material, to provide increased stability around the ankle region of the shoe 800. At the back of the heel, a control device of tension 823 can be used to tighten band 822 around the ankle.
    [091] As noted above, either of the modalities described here can have an external cover, an internal cover, or both. An external cover can be used to provide additional protection to the braids and the user's foot. The user's foot can be protected optionally or alternatively by an internal cover.
    [092] For example, as shown in the schematic diagram in Figure 18, the upper part 900 of a shoe has an outer cover 950 and an inner cover 952 on each side of the braided fabric cords 951. The upper part 900 has a high density braid in its toe region 906, a high density braid band 921 in front of the neck 908, and another high density band 912 in the midfoot part 904. Band 912 experiences increased tension when the shoe laces 913 are tightened around the wearer's foot. The upper part 900 has braids of slightly lower density in the forefoot region 905, heel region 902, ankle region 901 and most of the midfoot region 904. The upper part 900 is fixed to the sole 920 by means of conventional methods, such as using adhesives, sewing, stapling, molding or fusing. The sole 920 may operationally have a ground engaging component such as latches 940 shown in Figure 18 or tips such as those shown in Figure 7.
    [093] Figure 19 is a schematic diagram of another example of a
    28/35 modality of a shoe item with an external cover shown. In this embodiment, the upper part 1000 has a high density braid 1011 around the ankle opening 1009 to provide more stability. The upper part 1000 also has a stripe 1032 made from higher tensile strength cords around the neck 1015 because the neck's perimeter may experience additional tension when the shoe is tightened around a user's foot. The strip 1031 in the transition from the middle of the foot 1013 to the front of the foot 1014 can be made of a softer, more elastic material, to allow the shoe to flex more comfortably. The upper part 1000 has a relatively lower braid density in the forefoot region 1014 and the toe region 1006, as well as part of the midfoot region 1013.
    [094] The outer cover 950 and the inner cover 952 (if used) shown in Figures 18 and 19 - as well as the outer cover 250 and inner cover 252 shown in Figure 6 - can be formed, for example, by spraying a formwork covered with the top braided with thermoplastic polyurethane or polyester, or dipping a mold with the top braided in a polymer solution and curing the solution in place. The outer cover 950 and / or the inner cover 952 could be manufactured by laying a sheet of thermoplastic polyurethane (or another layer of polymer or film) on one side or both sides of the braided material, and then embedding the braided on a sheet (s ) applying heat and / or pressure. The inner cover can be used in addition to or instead of the outer cover. Internal covers such as the one shown in Figure 6 could be used with any of the modalities described here.
    [095] The outer cover 950, as well as an inner cover or lining layer 952, can be formed by joining a thermoplastic polymer to the braided structure, as described in US Patent Application N Q. 12 / 847,860, filed on July 30, 2010 and entitled “Article of Footwear Incorporating Floating Tensile
    29/35
    Strands ”, which is incorporated here by reference in its entirety. Alternatively, the outer cover 950 and / or the inner cover 952 can be formed by molding, as described in US Patent Application No. Q. 12 / 419,985, filed on April 7, 2009, entitled “Method for Molding Tensile Strength Elements”, which is incorporated by reference here in its entirety. The outer cover 950 and / or the inner cover 952 could also be attached to the braided fabric by welding or melting a polymer "skin" into the fabric.
    [096] The cords used to form braided shoes can be made of fibers such as nylon, carbon, polyurethane, polyester, cotton, aramid such as Kevlar®, polyethylene, polypropylene, or other materials. The soles and / or soles can be made of rubber, EVA or any other combination of suitable materials. The outer cover can, for example, be thermoplastic polyurethane or polyester. It can be formed over the braided region of the upper part in a form by spraying or dipping, or it can be manufactured separately and fixed to the braided region of the upper part by sewing or welding or using adhesives, for example.
    [097] In some embodiments, the cords that form braided shoes are coated with a thermoplastic material, such as thermoplastic polyurethane, which softens at high temperatures. After the shoe is braided, the entire shoe or just the regions of the shoe can be heated to a temperature so that the coated thermoplastic on each cord softens and fuses with the coated thermoplastic on any cord that may be in contact with this cord. After the shoes cooled, the thermoplastic coatings became hard. Thus, each coated cord is essentially fused or welded at each point that is in contact with another coated cord. This process still prevents the individual strands of the braided material from moving relative to each other, and thus still fixes and stabilizes the structure of the shoe.
    30/35 [098] As previously discussed, two or more different parts of a braided upper part could be constructed of strands having different material properties. In addition, it is considered that some parts could comprise gradations in one or more material characteristics. Specifically, a stretch or compressible material can be used in one or more locations. This stretch material can provide the feeling of compressibility when the material is stretched elastic. As an example, in an alternative modality, the instep region 104 of the upper part 101 (shown in Figure 1) could comprise cords that vary in stretch and / or compressibility of the sole 110 for the range 123. Thus, for example9, the stretching, compressibility and / or other material characteristics of the strands could vary in a continuous or almost continuous manner over different parts. By varying the stretch and compressibility, for example, the upper part can be configured to reduce deformation in different locations and also change the feeling about different locations.
    [099] The principles discussed in connection with Figure 1 could be applied in each modality. In other words, in each modality with one or more stranded regions, the stretch or compressibility of the regions could vary as described here.
    [0100] Some modalities may also incorporate materials whose characteristics change in response to different conditions. As a possible example, a braided top could include a region with braided strands that stretch to a predetermined amount (for example, a percentage of its length) and then stop stretching. In one embodiment, region 310 of article 300 (shown in Figure 7) can be made of a material that stretches less than the material comprising the low density braided region 313. In addition, the strands in region 310 may undergo some stretching When
    31/35 the tension is applied first, so that the strands stretch to a predetermined percentage of their initial length, at which time the strands stop stretching. Such a configuration would provide movement limiting features for article 300. In particular, region 310 would initially stretch when the foot flexes or otherwise applies tension to article 300 and region 310 would apply a restrictive force to the foot after the strands in region 310 have stretched to a maximum length.
    [0101] The principles discussed in connection with Figure 7 could be applied to each modality. In other words, in each modality with one or more stranded regions, one or more of the stranded regions could be arranged to provide movement limitation features, as described here.
    [0102] The upper parts for footwear described here can be made manually by yarn braiding threads, filaments or other fibers to form the patterns shown in the drawings. A formwork can be used to shape the top to the desired shape and size. The cable, as shown in Figure 14, can be manually woven through the braided material. The strands, as shown in Figures 15 and 16, can also be manually braided using different materials.
    [0103] Some modalities may use an overweaving technique to make some or all of a braided top. For example, in some cases, a braiding machine or apparatus can be used to form a braided top. Specifically, in some cases, a shoe form can be inserted through a braiding point of a braiding apparatus, thereby allowing one or more layers of a braided material to be formed on the shoe form.
    [0104] Figure 20 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of using a shoe form 1100 with an overweaving device 1120 to manufacture a braided upper for a shoe item. In some
    32/35 modalities, form 1100 can be a conventional shoe form with an ankle region 1101, an heel region 1102, an instep or midfoot region 1103, a forefoot region 1104 and a region of toe 1105.
    [0105] In general, the 1120 overweaving apparatus can be any machine, system and / or device that is capable of applying one or more braided layers over a shoe form or otherwise. For the sake of clarity, the overweaving apparatus 1120 may comprise an outer frame part 1117. In some embodiments, the outer frame part 1117 may accommodate one or more coils (not shown) of thread 1119. Thread 1119 may then be extend from the outer frame part 1117 to a central braiding point 1115. As discussed below, a braided upper part can be formed by moving shoe mold 1100 through the central braiding point 1115.
    [0106] In some embodiments, an over-braiding system may include provisions to facilitate the creation of several different structures in a braided top. In some embodiments, for example, an over-braiding system may include provisions to facilitate the creation of eyelets or other openings in a braided top. In other embodiments, an over-braiding system may include provisions to create regions of different braiding density.
    [0107] Some modalities may use pins or similar structures to improve an overweaving technique. As an example, Figures 21 and 22 illustrate the use of pins of different dimensions and characteristics in different regions of the upper part. In some embodiments, rows of pins with small 1130 pin heads can be used to outline the eyelets around a midfoot opening at the top, that is, to form eyelets for the shoe laces. Additionally, in some modalities, a row
    33/35 pins without pin heads 1131 can be used to demarcate a high density braid in the toe region 1105 from the top.
    [0108] Pins or similar structures can facilitate the creation of various structural features (such as eyelets or other openings) or zones of different properties (such as densities) in various ways. For example, placing pins with larger pin heads in locations of a form corresponding to eyelet holes can help prevent the build-up of wire in these locations during the over-braiding process, thereby helping to create openings and / or eyelets. As another example, demarcating different regions of a form with rows of pins can help provide visual cues to an operator of an overweaving apparatus to modify the type of weaving and / or density of those regions as they pass through the central weaving point. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the pins can interact with wires to modify the strand tension at the pin location, which could affect the density of the resulting strand.
    [0109] Figure 23 is a schematic illustration of a braided upper part when being manufactured in an 1120 overweaving apparatus. In this illustration, the 1180 toe region of an upper part has already been formed, and the overhead apparatus 1120 braid is forming the forefoot of the upper part. The density of the braid can be varied, for example, by feeding the toe region 1105 of the formwork through the braiding apparatus 1120 more slowly while the toe region is being formed (to produce a relatively higher density braid) than while the forefoot region is being formed (to produce a relatively low density braid). The formwork can also be fed at an angle and / or twisted to form braided regions such as the regions shown in Figures 4-6, for example, the formwork can also be fed
    34/35 through the braiding device two or more times to form more complex structures, or alternatively it can be fed through two or more braiding devices. In some embodiments, once the overweaving process has been completed, a braided upper can be removed from the shoe form. In some cases, one or more openings (such as a neck opening) can be cut from the resulting braided upper to form the final upper for use in a shoe item.
    [0110] It should be understood that in other modalities, the over-weaving of an upper part of a shoe form can be done without the use of an over-weaving device, such as the over-weaving device 1120, shown in the figures. In some embodiments, for example, over-braiding can be achieved by manually braiding threads around a shoe form. Still other modalities could incorporate a combination of methods of automatic overweaving and methods of manual overweaving.
    [0111] Figures 24-26 illustrate exemplary modalities of a particular pin arrangement in a shoe form and a corresponding braided upper that can be manufactured with this particular pin arrangement. For example, Figure 24 illustrates an upper 1200 with eyelets 1201 formed using a 1100 form with pins 1130. In particular, pins 1130 were placed in form 1100 in a configuration that corresponds with a typical shoe eyelet pattern. The resulting eyelets 1201 are then formed when the upper part wires 1200 are braided around pins 1130 during the over-braiding process. In another example, Figure 25 illustrates an upper part 1300 formed with bands of different density. In particular, the upper part 1300 includes a high density strip 1301 on the forefoot, which is formed by two rows of pins 1140 on the forefoot of a
    35/35 form 1100. As yet another example, Figure 26 illustrates an upper part 1400 with band 1401, band 1402, band 1403 and band 1405. These bands were formed using the illustrated pin configuration 1151, pin 1152 , pins 1153 and pins 1155 in the shoe form 1100, respectively.
    [0112] While several modalities have been described, the description is intended to be exemplary, rather than limiting, and it will be evident to those skilled in the art that many more modalities and implementations that are within the scope of the modalities are possible. Consequently, the modalities should not be restricted except in light of the attached claims and their equivalents. Also, various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the attached claims.
