Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
A process for making a sport shoe comprising the steps of: (a) forming a shoe upper made of natural or artificial leather; (b) separately from said shoe upper, preparing an integrally laminated shoe sole by placing into an injection mold a preformed insert material layer made of a material which does not undergo thermal deformation at injection-molding temperatures and pressures and which displays good bondability to the shoe upper, said material being selected from the group consisting of natural leather, artificial leather, rubber, nonwoven fabric, felts, and fibers, and then injecting a molten synthetic resin into said mold so as to form a monolithic synthetic resin layer which is bonded to the lower surface of said insert material layer and then solidifying said synthetic resin whereby to obtain said integrally laminated shoe sole; (c) removing said shoe sole from said injection mold; and (d) bonding the upper surface of said insert material layer to the lower portion and insole of said shoe upper with an adhesive.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
166 words
A process for making a sport shoe comprising the steps of: (a) forming a shoe upper made of natural or artificial leather; (b) separately from said shoe upper, preparing an integrally laminated shoe sole by placing into an injection mold a preformed insert material layer made of a material which does not undergo thermal deformation at injection-molding temperatures and pressures and which displays good bondability to the shoe upper, said material being selected from the group consisting of natural leather, artificial leather, rubber, nonwoven fabric, felts, and fibers, and then injecting a molten synthetic resin into said mold so as to form a monolithic synthetic resin layer which is bonded to the lower surface of said insert material layer and then solidifying said synthetic resin whereby to obtain said integrally laminated shoe sole; (c) removing said shoe sole from said injection mold; and (d) bonding the upper surface of said insert material layer to the lower portion and insole of said shoe upper with an adhesive.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A process for making a sport shoe according to claim 1, wherein said insert material layer is bonded directly to said synthetic resin layer without the use of a separately applied adhesive.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
59 words
A process for making a sport shoe according to claim 1, wherein the lower surface of said insert material layer is coated with a film of hot melt adhesive prior to placing same in the injection mold so that said adhesive is melted during said injection molding to bond togther said insert material layer and said synthetic resin layer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
54 words
A process for making a sport shoe according to claim 1, claim 2 or claim 3 wherein said synthetic resin is a shoe sole forming, injection moldable resin selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride resin, polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, polyacetal resin, polycarbonate resin, polyamide resin, acrylic resin, polystyrene resin and polyurethane resin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
A process for preparing a sport shoe according to claim 4, wherein said synthetic resin is nylon-11 or nylon-12.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
A process for preparing a sport shoe according to claim 3, wherein said film of hot melt adhesive has a thickness of from 20 to 500 microns and has a melting point of from 100° to 160° C.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
155 words
A process for making a sport shoe sole comprising the steps of: (a) bonding a film of hot-melt adhesive to one surface of an insert material layer made of a material which does not undergo thermal deformation at injection-molding temperatures and which displays good bondability to a shoe upper composed of natural or artificial leather, said insert material being selected from the group consisting of natural leather, artificial leather, rubber, nonwoven fabric, felts, and fibers; (b) placing said insert material layer in an injection mold; (c) injecting a molten synthetic resin into said mold so that it flows in contact with said one surface of said insert material layer and forms a monolithic injection-molded synthetic resin layer which is heat-bonded to said insert material layer by means of said film of hot-melt adhesive whereby to form said shoe sole; and (d) solidifying said synthetic resin and then removing said shoe sole from said injection mold.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
155 words
