This application claims the benefit and priority of Chinese Invention Patent Application No. 201610414694.2 filed Jun. 13, 2016. The entire disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention generally relates to shoemaking, and more specifically, to a vamp with loop protection eyelets and a manufacture method thereof.
This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.
Current shoes are more and more diverse. There are shoes with protection eyelets. The protection eyelets are used to pass a shoe lace through. Consequently, it is not necessary to arrange shoe eyelets on a vamp. At present, a protection eyelet is set on the vamp by a protection eyelet string. One end of the protection eyelet string is a loop protruding from the vamp, and the other end of the protection eyelet string is stitched on the side edge of the vamp and is adhered to the shoe sole. Such a protection eyelet string is set on the vamp by hand, and only the tail thereof is fixed. The protection eyelet string comes off easily, when a force is applied to it. Furthermore, by setting the string by hand, only some simple interweavement patterns can be done, and the product is simple and not standard and unified. There is also a case where a string is used to weave a mesh vamp integrally. In that case, when a vamp is woven, loops to pass a shoe lace through are woven integrally. However, though such a mesh vamp is ventile, it is very soft. The vamp has poor straightness and shaping ability. The vamp is not esthetic and cannot protect feet.
This section provides a general summary of the disclosure, and is not a comprehensive disclosure of its full scope or all of its features.
With respect to the above mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a vamp with loop protection eyelets and a manufacture method thereof. It can ensure that connection between the protection eyelet and the vamp is firm, the vamp has ventilation and has good supportability and straightness, mechanized production is achieved, the product design is rich and standard and unified, the decorative pattern design is highly free.
The technical solutions of the present invention are as follows: a vamp with loop protection eyelets comprises a vamp body, the middle part of the vamp body has a notch which functions as a shoe tongue part, said vamp body is one-piece knitted fabric or a sheet-splice-vamp, strings are projectively fixed on the upper surface of said vamp body, threads embroider and fix the strings on the vamp body along a path of the length direction of said strings, said strings not only form a pattern on the vamp body, but also leave loops on said shoe tongue part, the loops protrude inwards from both side edges of the shoe tongue part.
Furthermore, in order to connect protection eyelets formed by the loops and the vamp more firmly, said shoe tongue part is embroidered with two layers by using strings, the first layer includes said loops, the loops connect the pattern formed by strings on the vamp body, and the second layer covers the strings of the first layer of the shoe tongue part.
Furthermore, in order to connect protection eyelets and the vamp more firmly and have more rich decorative effects, said strings are also cover-embroidered on the vamp body by threads, the threads densely embroider to form a pattern so as to cover a part of the strings, the pattern embroidered by the threads at least covers the strings of the shoe tongue part.
Furthermore, said vamp body is the sheet-splice-vamp, respective sheets of material are aligned and embroidered and connected. In this way, a variety of shoe materials may be adopted to manufacture the vamp. Besides the design and color and the hollowed-out shape of fabric being different, a part of sheet materials may also adopt leather to maintain a better shoe model and promote the protective function, the product design space is big. Embroidering and connecting sheet materials may be done while the strings are cover-embroidered. Splicing and cover-embroidering are finished at a time, the process is simple.
Furthermore, in order to ensure ventilation and appropriate straightness of the vamp, the whole or a part of said vamp body is knitted hollowed-out fabric, the lower portion of the vamp body is lined with a liner, threads which fix said strings extend through said liner, the threads embroider and connect the strings, the vamp body and the liner.
The present invention also provides a manufacture method of a vamp with loop protection eyelets, comprising the following steps:
(1) making electronic drawings, the electronic drawings including a vamp electronic drawing and an embroidery drawing;
(2) starting a plate band, performing a starting band design according to the embroidery drawing described in step (1), ensuring that the embroidery path of embroidery needle can embroider a pattern smoothly.
(3) according to the vamp electronic drawing made in step (1), fabricating a blank of the vamp body with a laser, the middle part of the blank having a notch which functions as a shoe tongue part, the notch connecting a shoe opening part located in the lower portion of the blank;
(4) passing strings and threads through the needle of an embroidery machine;
(5) embroidering the pattern on the upper surface of said blank according to said embroidery drawing by the needle of the embroidery machine, said pattern being formed by strings projecting on the blank, the strings being embroidered and fixed on the blank along a path of the length direction of said strings by threads, said strings leaving loops on said shoe tongue part, loops protruding inwards from both side edges of the shoe tongue part;
(6) again, processing the obtained semifinished vamp with laser, obtaining the finished product vamp shoe model.
The upper surface of said shoe tongue part is embroidered with two layers by said strings, the first layer includes said loops, the loops connect the pattern formed by strings on the vamp body, and the second layer covers the strings of the first layer of the shoe tongue part.
When embroidering in step (5), the lower surface of the blank is lined with a liner.
As an embodiment of splicing the vamp, said blank in step (3) includes several separate sheet components, also in step (3), said sheet components are spliced and located on the liner to form the vamp blank; in said step (5), after embroidering by strings, respective locations where sheets are spliced are embroidered and connected by threads, then the threads are used to cover a part of the strings to perform decorative embroidery, the pattern embroidered by the threads at least covers the strings of the shoe tongue part.
Furthermore, in order to ensure ventilation and appropriate straightness of the vamp, the whole or a part of the blank of said vamp body is knitted hollowed-out fabric.
In the present invention, embroidery is performed on the vamp body to form a pattern, the whole or a part of the vamp body is knitted hollowed-out fabric such as various warp knitted mesh cloth, a part of the shoe material may also adopt leather, the vamp has ventilation and has good supportability and straightness, is not only esthetic but also can protect feet; the pattern is constituted by the strings arranged on the vamp, threads follow the strings in the length direction of the strings and embroider the strings on the vamp, the strings leave loops as protection eyelets on the shoe tongue part, loops protrude inwards from both side edges of the shoe tongue part and are located within the notch of the shoe tongue part, the protection eyelets are formed by embroidering the strings integrally, the whole strings are stitched to the vamp except the loop protection eyelets, thereby connection between the loops and the vamp is very firm, the loops do not come off easily, the thicker strings form a pattern with a stereoscopic visual effect on the vamp, and if a layer of strings fixed by embroidering or a pattern formed by embroidering with threads is added in the shoe tongue part, the roots of the protection eyelets are reinforced again, and the design pattern is more rich and stereoscopic; moreover, the mechanized embroidery machine can weave rich patterns according to the embroidery drawing, fabricating protection eyelets, embroidering the pattern and connecting sheets are accomplished by embroidering at a time, the process is simple, mechanized production is achieved. The decorative pattern design is highly free, the product is more rich, the products manufactured are standard and unified.
