详细描述Detailed Description

下列讨论和附图公开了鞋类物品和组装鞋类物品的方法。本文公开的与鞋类相关的构思可以应用到各种运动鞋类类型,例如包括跑步鞋、篮球鞋、足球鞋、棒球鞋、橄榄球鞋和高尔夫鞋。因此,本文所公开的构思适用于多种鞋类类型。The following discussion and figures disclose an article of footwear and a method of assembling the article of footwear. The footwear-related concepts disclosed herein may be applied to various athletic footwear types including, for example, running shoes, basketball shoes, soccer shoes, baseball shoes, football shoes, and golf shoes. Accordingly, the concepts disclosed herein are applicable to a variety of footwear types.

为了帮助和澄清各个实施方案的后续描述,各个术语在此被定义。除非另有指示,否则以下的定义在整个本说明书(包括权利要求书)中适用。为了一致性和方便起见,在对应于图示的实施方案的全部的本详细描述中使用了方向性形容词。To aid and clarify the subsequent description of various embodiments, various terms are defined herein. Unless otherwise indicated, the following definitions apply throughout this specification, including the claims. For consistency and convenience, directional adjectives are used throughout this detailed description corresponding to the illustrated embodiments.

如在整个本详细描述中和在权利要求中使用的术语“纵向”指的是延伸部件的长度的方向。例如,鞋类物品的纵向方向在鞋类物品的鞋前部区和鞋跟区之间延伸。术语“向前”用来指足部的脚趾指向的大致方向,并且术语“向后”用来指相反的方向,即足部的足跟面向的方向。The term "longitudinal" as used throughout this detailed description and in the claims refers to the direction of the length of an extension member. For example, the longitudinal direction of the article of footwear extends between a forefoot region and a heel region of the article of footwear. The term "forward" is used to refer to the general direction in which the toes of the foot are pointing, and the term "rearward" is used to refer to the opposite direction, ie the direction in which the heel of the foot is facing.

如在整个本详细描述中和在权利要求中所用的术语“横向方向”是指延伸部件的宽度的从一侧到另一侧的方向。换句话说,横向方向可以在鞋类物品的内侧面和外侧面之间延伸,其中鞋类物品的外侧面是背离另一只足部的表面,而内侧面是面向另一只足部的表面。The term "transverse direction" as used throughout this detailed description and in the claims refers to the side-to-side direction of the width of an extension member. In other words, the lateral direction may extend between a medial side of the article of footwear and a lateral side, where the lateral side of the article of footwear is the surface facing away from the other foot and the medial side is the surface facing the other foot .

如在本说明书中和在权利要求中使用的术语“侧面”是指部件的大致面对如与向上或向下方向相反的外侧方向、内侧方向、向前方向或向后方向的任何部分。The term "side" as used in this specification and in the claims refers to any portion of a component generally facing an outboard direction, a medial direction, a forward direction or a rearward direction, such as opposite an upward or downward direction.

如在整个本详细描述中和在权利要求中所用的术语“竖直的”是指大致垂直于横向方向和纵向方向两者的方向。例如,在鞋底被平放在地面上的情况下,竖直方向可以从地面向上延伸。应理解的是,这些方向性的形容词中的每一个可以应用于鞋底的各个部件。术语“向上”是指离开地面前进的竖直方向,而术语“向下”是指朝向地面前进的竖直方向。类似地,术语“顶部”、“上部”和其它类似的术语是指物体的大体在竖直方向上离地面最远的部分,而术语“底部”、“下部”和其它类似的术语是指物体的大体在竖直方向上离地面最近的部分。The term "vertical" as used throughout this detailed description and in the claims refers to a direction generally perpendicular to both the transverse and longitudinal directions. For example, where the sole is laid flat on the ground, the vertical direction may extend upwards from the ground. It should be understood that each of these directional adjectives may apply to various components of the sole. The term "upward" refers to a vertical direction of progress away from the ground, and the term "downward" refers to a vertical direction of progress towards the ground. Similarly, the terms "top", "upper" and other similar terms refer to the part of an object generally vertically furthest from the ground, while the terms "bottom", "lower" and other similar terms refer to the The generally vertical part of the ground that is closest to the ground.

鞋的“内部”是指当鞋被穿用时穿用者的足部占据的空间。面板或其它鞋元件的“内侧”是指在已完成的鞋中该面板或元件的朝向(或将朝向)鞋内部定向的面。元件的“外侧”或“外部”是指在已完成的鞋中该元件的远离(或将远离)鞋内部定向的面。在一些情况下,元件的内侧可以具有在已完成的鞋中的在该内侧和内部之间的其它元件。相似地,元件的外侧可以具有在该外侧和在已完成的鞋的外部的空间之间的其它元件。此外,术语“向内的”和“向内地”应指朝向鞋的内部的方向,而术语“向外的”和“向外地”应指朝向鞋的外部的方向。The "interior" of a shoe refers to the space occupied by the wearer's foot when the shoe is worn. The "inside" of a panel or other shoe element refers to the face of the panel or element in the finished shoe that is (or will be) oriented toward the interior of the shoe. "Outside" or "external" of an element refers to that face of the element in the finished shoe that is (or will be) oriented away from the shoe interior. In some cases, the inner side of an element may have other elements between the inner side and the interior in the finished shoe. Similarly, the outer side of an element may have other elements between that outer side and the space outside of the finished shoe. Furthermore, the terms "inwardly" and "inwardly" shall refer to a direction toward the inside of the shoe, while the terms "outward" and "outwardly" shall refer to a direction toward the outside of the shoe.

为了本公开的目的,上述方向性术语在关于鞋类物品使用时应指位于直立位置时的鞋类物品,其中鞋底面向地面,也就是说,如鞋类物品会在被站立在大体上水平的表面上的穿用者穿用时所定位的。For the purposes of this disclosure, the above directional terms when used in relation to an article of footwear shall refer to the article of footwear when in an upright position with the sole facing the ground, that is, as the article of footwear would when stood on a generally horizontal The surface on which the wearer is positioned when worn.

另外,为了本公开的目的,术语“固定地附接”应指两个部件以使得部件不可以被轻易分开(例如,不破坏部件中的一个或两个)的方式连接。固定的附接的示例性形式可以包括使用永久粘合剂、铆钉、缝线、钉子、卡钉、焊接或其它热结合或其它连接技术来连接。另外,两个部件可以借助于例如以模制工艺整体成型而被“固定地附接”。Additionally, for the purposes of this disclosure, the term "fixedly attached" shall mean that two components are connected in such a way that the components cannot be easily separated (eg, without destroying one or both of the components). Exemplary forms of fixed attachment may include connecting using permanent adhesives, rivets, sutures, nails, staples, welding or other thermal bonding or other joining techniques. Additionally, two components may be "fixedly attached" by virtue of being integrally formed, eg, in a molding process.

为了本公开的目的,术语“可移除地附接”或“可移除地插入”应该指以使得两个部件被固定在一起但可以容易地彼此拆开的方式联接两个部件或联接部件和元件。可移除的附接机构的示例可以包括钩环紧固件、摩擦配合连接件、过盈配合连接件、螺纹连接器、凸轮锁定连接器、一种材料与另一种材料的压缩、以及其它这样的容易可拆卸的连接器。For the purposes of this disclosure, the terms "removably attached" or "removably inserted" shall mean coupling two parts or coupling parts in such a way that the two parts are fixed together but can be easily detached from each other and components. Examples of removable attachment mechanisms may include hook and loop fasteners, friction fit connections, interference fit connections, threaded connectors, cam lock connectors, compression of one material to another, and others Such an easily detachable connector.

图1示出了配置成具有张紧系统150的物品100的实施方案的示意性等距视图。在当前实施方案中,物品100(以下也简称为物品100)以运动鞋(诸如,跑步鞋)的形式示出。然而,在其它实施方案中,张紧系统150可以与任何其它种类的鞋类一起使用,这些鞋类包括但不限于:登山靴、足球鞋、橄榄球鞋、胶底运动鞋、跑步鞋、交叉训练鞋、英式橄榄球鞋、篮球鞋、棒球鞋以及其它种类的鞋。此外,在一些实施方案中,物品100可以配置成与不同种类的非运动相关鞋类一起使用,这些鞋类包括但不限于:拖鞋、凉鞋、高跟鞋类、乐福鞋(loafer)以及任何其它种类的鞋类。如下面进一步详细讨论的,张紧系统可以不限于鞋类,并且在其它实施方案中,张紧系统和/或与张紧系统相关联的部件可以与各种服装(包括衣服、运动服,运动装备以及其它种类的服装)一起使用。在还有的其它实施方案中,张紧系统可以与支架,例如医疗支架一起使用。FIG. 1 shows a schematic isometric view of an embodiment of an article 100 configured with a tensioning system 150 . In the current embodiment, article 100 (hereinafter also simply referred to as article 100 ) is shown in the form of an athletic shoe, such as a running shoe. However, in other embodiments, the tensioning system 150 may be used with any other type of footwear including, but not limited to: hiking boots, soccer shoes, rugby shoes, sneakers, running shoes, cross-training shoes Shoes, rugby shoes, basketball shoes, baseball shoes and other kinds of shoes. Additionally, in some embodiments, article 100 may be configured for use with different types of non-sports related footwear including, but not limited to, slippers, sandals, high heels, loafers, and any other type of footwear. As discussed in further detail below, the tensioning system may not be limited to footwear, and in other embodiments, the tensioning system and/or components associated with the tensioning system may be integrated with various garments (including clothing, athletic wear, athletic equipment and other types of clothing). In still other embodiments, the tensioning system may be used with a stent, such as a medical stent.

如上所述,为了一致性和方便,在整个本详细描述中采用方向性形容词。物品100可以沿着纵向轴线180分成三个大致的区:鞋前部区105、鞋中部区125和鞋跟区145。鞋前部区105大致包括物品100的对应于脚趾以及连接跖骨与趾骨的关节的部分。鞋中部区125大致包括物品100的对应于足部的足弓区域的部分。鞋跟区145大致对应于足部的包括跟骨的后部部分。鞋前部区105、鞋中部区125以及鞋跟区145并不意图划分物品100的精确区域。而是,鞋前部区105、鞋中部区125以及鞋跟区145旨在表示物品100的大致相关区域,以有助于下面的讨论。因为物品100的各种特征延伸超出物品100的一个区,所以术语鞋前部区105,鞋中部区125和鞋跟区145不仅适用于物品100,也适用于物品100的各种特征。As noted above, directional adjectives are employed throughout this detailed description for the sake of consistency and convenience. Article 100 may be divided into three general regions along longitudinal axis 180 : forefoot region 105 , midfoot region 125 , and heel region 145 . Forefoot region 105 generally includes the portion of article 100 that corresponds to the toes and the joints connecting the metatarsals to the phalanges. Midfoot region 125 generally includes a portion of article 100 that corresponds to an arch area of the foot. Heel region 145 generally corresponds to the rear portion of the foot including the calcaneus. Forefoot region 105 , midfoot region 125 , and heel region 145 are not intended to demarcate precise regions of article 100 . Rather, forefoot region 105, midfoot region 125, and heel region 145 are intended to represent generally relevant regions of article 100 to facilitate the discussion below. Because various features of article 100 extend beyond a region of article 100 , the terms forefoot region 105 , midfoot region 125 , and heel region 145 apply not only to article 100 but also to various features of article 100 .

参考图1,为了参考目的,物品100的横向轴线190以及与物品100相关的任何部件都可以在足部的内侧面165和外侧面185之间延伸。此外,在一些实施方案中,纵向轴线180可以从鞋前部区105延伸到鞋跟区145。应理解,这些方向性形容词中的每一个也可以应用于鞋类物品的各个部件,诸如鞋面和/或鞋底构件。另外,竖直轴线170是指垂直于由纵向轴线180和横向轴线190界定的水平表面的轴线。Referring to FIG. 1 , for reference purposes, the transverse axis 190 of the article 100 and any components associated with the article 100 may extend between the medial side 165 and the lateral side 185 of the foot. Additionally, in some embodiments, longitudinal axis 180 may extend from forefoot region 105 to heel region 145 . It should be understood that each of these directional adjectives may also apply to various components of an article of footwear, such as an upper and/or a sole member. Additionally, vertical axis 170 refers to an axis perpendicular to the horizontal surface defined by longitudinal axis 180 and transverse axis 190 .

物品100可以包括鞋面102和鞋底结构104。通常,鞋面102可以是任何类型的鞋面。特别地,鞋面102可具有任何设计、形状、尺寸和/或颜色。例如,在物品100是篮球鞋的实施方案中,鞋面102可以是成形为在脚踝上提供高支撑的高帮鞋面(high top upper)。在物品100是跑步鞋的实施方案中,鞋面102可以是低帮鞋面。Article 100 may include upper 102 and sole structure 104 . In general, upper 102 may be any type of upper. In particular, upper 102 may have any design, shape, size and/or color. For example, in an embodiment where article 100 is a basketball shoe, upper 102 may be a high top upper shaped to provide high support on the ankle. In embodiments where article 100 is a running shoe, upper 102 may be a low top upper.

如图1中所示,鞋面102可以包括一种或更多种材料元件(例如,网格、纺织品、泡沫、皮革和合成皮革),该一种或更多种材料元件可以联接以界定配置成接纳穿用者的足部的内部空腔。材料元件可以被选择并且被布置成赋予诸如轻量、耐久性、透气性、耐磨性、柔性和舒适性的性能。鞋面102可以界定开口130,穿用者的足部可以穿过开口130被接纳至内部空腔中。As shown in FIG. 1 , upper 102 may include one or more material elements (eg, mesh, textile, foam, leather, and synthetic leather) that may be coupled to define a configuration An internal cavity that receives the wearer's foot. Material elements may be selected and arranged to impart properties such as light weight, durability, breathability, abrasion resistance, flexibility and comfort. Upper 102 may define opening 130 through which a wearer's foot may be received into the interior cavity.

鞋底结构104的至少一部分可以被固定地附接到鞋面102(例如,使用粘合剂、缝合、焊接或其它合适的技术),并且可以具有在鞋面102和地面之间延伸的配置。鞋底结构104可以包括用于衰减地面反作用力(即在竖直和水平载荷期间缓冲和稳定足部)的设施。另外,鞋底结构104可以配置为提供附着摩擦力、赋予稳定性以及控制或限制各种足部运动,诸如旋前、旋后或其它运动。At least a portion of sole structure 104 may be fixedly attached to upper 102 (eg, using adhesives, stitching, welding, or other suitable techniques), and may have a configuration that extends between upper 102 and the ground. Sole structure 104 may include provisions for attenuating ground reaction forces (ie, cushioning and stabilizing the foot during vertical and horizontal loading). Additionally, sole structure 104 may be configured to provide traction, impart stability, and control or limit various foot motions, such as pronation, supination, or other motions.

在一些实施方案中,鞋底结构104可以配置成为物品100提供附着摩擦力。除了提供附着摩擦力以外,当鞋底结构104在行走、跑步或其它步行活动期间在足部和地面之间被压缩时,鞋底结构104可以衰减地面反作用力。鞋底结构104的配置可以在不同实施方案中显著地变化,以包括各种常规或非常规的结构。在一些情况下,鞋底结构104的配置可以根据鞋底结构104可以在其上使用的一种或更多种类型的地表面来配置。In some embodiments, sole structure 104 may be configured to provide traction for article 100 . In addition to providing traction, sole structure 104 may attenuate ground reaction forces when sole structure 104 is compressed between the foot and the ground during walking, running, or other ambulatory activities. The configuration of sole structure 104 may vary considerably in different embodiments to include a variety of conventional or non-conventional structures. In some cases, the configuration of sole structure 104 may be configured according to one or more types of ground surfaces on which sole structure 104 may be used.

例如,公开的构思可以适用于配置为在各种表面中的任何一种上使用的鞋类,这些表面包括室内表面或室外表面。鞋底结构104的配置可以基于物品100预期用于其上的表面的性能和条件而变化。例如,鞋底结构104可以根据表面是较硬的还是较软的而变化。另外,鞋底结构104可以被定制以在潮湿或干燥的条件下使用。For example, the disclosed concepts may be applied to footwear configured for use on any of a variety of surfaces, including indoor or outdoor surfaces. The configuration of sole structure 104 may vary based on the properties and conditions of the surface on which article 100 is intended to be used. For example, sole structure 104 may vary depending on whether the surface is harder or softer. Additionally, sole structure 104 may be customized for use in wet or dry conditions.

在一些实施方案中,鞋底结构104可以配置用于特别专门的表面或条件。然而,所提出的鞋类鞋面构造可以适用于任何种类的鞋类,诸如篮球、足球、橄榄球和其它运动活动(athletic activity)。相应地,在一些实施方案中,鞋底结构104可配置为在硬的室内表面(如硬木)、软的天然草皮表面上或在硬的人造草皮表面上提供附着摩擦力和稳定性。在一些实施方案中,鞋底结构104可以配置为在多个不同的表面上使用。In some embodiments, sole structure 104 may be configured for a particularly specialized surface or condition. However, the proposed footwear upper configuration may be adapted for any kind of footwear, such as basketball, soccer, rugby, and other athletic activities. Accordingly, in some embodiments, sole structure 104 may be configured to provide traction and stability on a hard indoor surface (eg, hardwood), on a soft natural turf surface, or on a hard artificial turf surface. In some embodiments, sole structure 104 may be configured for use on a number of different surfaces.

Relatively fixed in place.

在图3-4中,第一附接区330在与鞋领310相关联的后边缘处邻近开口130定位在鞋跟区145中。在一些实施方案中,第一附接区330的位置可以允许内靴214相对于鞋面102更容易地移动和/或旋转,同时保持锚固或系栓到物品100。因此,在一些实施方案中,内靴214的一部分可以被固定地附接或联接到鞋面102的一部分。In FIGS. 3-4 , first attachment region 330 is positioned in heel region 145 adjacent opening 130 at the rear edge associated with collar 310 . In some embodiments, the location of first attachment region 330 may allow bootie 214 to more easily move and/or rotate relative to upper 102 while remaining anchored or tethered to article 100 . Accordingly, in some embodiments, a portion of bootie 214 may be fixedly attached or coupled to a portion of upper 102 .

如上所指示的,内靴214可以是从内部空腔218可移除的。例如,参考图3和图4,内靴214被示出为正被从鞋面102的内部空腔218中拉出或移除。在图3中,内靴214的绝大部分已经被拉动通过开口130,并被提起到物品100上方。在一些实施方案中,内靴214可以包括一个或更多个环320或突片部分以促进内靴214的移除和/或移动(例如,通过允许手指插入环320中并且经由环320在鞋面102处拖拉或拉动)。在图3和图4中,环320被示出为在内靴214的鞋跟区145附近以及内靴开口230的边缘附近。As indicated above, bootie 214 may be removable from interior cavity 218 . For example, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4 , bootie 214 is shown being pulled or removed from interior cavity 218 of upper 102 . In FIG. 3 , a substantial portion of bootie 214 has been pulled through opening 130 and lifted above article 100 . In some embodiments, bootie 214 may include one or more loops 320 or tab portions to facilitate removal and/or movement of bootie 214 (e.g., by allowing fingers to be inserted into loops 320 and placed in the shoe via loops 320 drag or pull at surface 102). In FIGS. 3 and 4 , ring 320 is shown proximate heel region 145 of bootie 214 and proximate the edge of bootie opening 230 .

在图4中,内靴214相对于其在鞋面102内的原始位置以大致“颠倒”的姿势设置。换句话说,内靴214已经从内部空腔218移除,并且在向后方向上旋转。在内靴214经由第一附接区330固定到鞋面102的实施方案中,内靴214可以在移除时以各种形状或定向邻近物品100设置。应理解的是,在其它实施方案中,内靴214可以是完全可移除的,使得内靴214可以与物品100完全分离(即,使得不存在第一附接区330)。此外,应理解的是,在其它实施方案中,物品100可以不包括内靴214,或者内靴214的配置可以不同于这里所示出的。In FIG. 4 , bootie 214 is positioned in a generally “upside down” position relative to its original position within upper 102 . In other words, bootie 214 has been removed from interior cavity 218 and rotated in a rearward direction. In embodiments in which bootie 214 is secured to upper 102 via first attachment region 330 , bootie 214 may be disposed adjacent article 100 in various shapes or orientations when removed. It should be understood that in other embodiments, bootie 214 may be completely removable such that bootie 214 may be completely detached from article 100 (ie, such that first attachment region 330 is absent). Furthermore, it should be understood that in other embodiments, article 100 may not include bootie 214, or that bootie 214 may be configured differently than shown here.

参考图5和图6,在一些实施方案中,可移除的鞋领衬里212可以设置在鞋面102内。如在整个本详细描述中和在权利要求中使用的术语“鞋领衬里(collar lining)”是指通常配置为与鞋面102的鞋跟区145相关联的任何部件或织物。例如,可移除的鞋领衬里可以插入到鞋面中以便接纳足部并提供额外的缓冲层、支撑层、结构层、保护层以及任何其它的用户舒适需求。Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 , in some embodiments, a removable collar liner 212 may be disposed within upper 102 . The term “collar lining” as used throughout this detailed description and in the claims refers to any component or fabric generally configured in association with heel region 145 of upper 102 . For example, a removable collar liner may be inserted into the upper to receive the foot and provide additional layers of cushioning, support, structure, protection, and any other user comfort requirements.

在一些实施方案中,鞋领衬里212可以设置在鞋面102的内部空腔218内。在一个实施方案中,鞋领衬里212可以与鞋面102的鞋跟区145的内表面220的绝大部分相关联或邻近鞋面102的鞋跟区145的内表面220的绝大部分设置。In some embodiments, collar liner 212 may be disposed within interior cavity 218 of upper 102 . In one embodiment, collar liner 212 may be associated with or disposed adjacent to a substantial portion of inner surface 220 of heel region 145 of upper 102 .

在一些实施方案中,鞋领衬里212相对于鞋面102和/或鞋底结构104部件的材料是薄的。薄的鞋领衬里212使得组装好的物品100不会太笨重,并且如果需要的话(例如,为了便于通过开口130从内部空腔218移除)可以允许鞋领衬里212大体上变形或变得紧凑。鞋领衬里212可以由任何材料制成,如下所讨论的。在一些实施方案中,鞋领衬里212具有足够坚固以提供对足部保护和支撑的构造。在一些情况下,鞋领衬里212可以与缓冲区相关联或包括缓冲区,缓冲区可以为足部提供额外的支撑、舒适性和/或缓冲。In some embodiments, collar liner 212 is thin relative to the material of upper 102 and/or sole structure 104 components. The thin collar liner 212 keeps the assembled article 100 from being too bulky, and may allow the collar liner 212 to be substantially deformed or compacted if desired (e.g., to facilitate removal from the interior cavity 218 through the opening 130). . Collar liner 212 may be made of any material, as discussed below. In some embodiments, collar liner 212 has a construction that is strong enough to provide protection and support to the foot. In some cases, collar liner 212 may be associated with or include a cushioning zone that may provide additional support, comfort, and/or cushioning to the foot.

在不同的实施方案中,鞋领衬里212可以包括各种形状或尺寸。例如,在图5中,鞋领衬里212可以作为大体上平坦的或二维的材料或结构提供。如在整个本详细描述中和在权利要求中使用的术语“二维(two-dimensional)”是指呈现出大体上大于材料厚度的长度和宽度的任何大致平坦的材料。尽管二维材料可具有平滑或大致无纹理的表面,但一些二维材料会呈现出纹理或其它表面特性,例如,诸如凹坑、突出部、肋状物或各种图案。在其它实施方案中,鞋领衬里212的几何形状可以变化,并且可以包括与足部的部位(例如,足部的脚踝区和/或脚跟区)相关联的各种轮廓或特征。在一个实施方案中,鞋领衬里212可以以接触鞋面102的内部空腔218的位于物品100的最后方的区的方式设置。在一些实施方案中,当鞋领衬里212在鞋面102内处于其组装构型时,鞋领衬里212可以沿着鞋面102材料的内表面220在鞋跟区145中的至少一部分设置或低靠其定位。In different embodiments, collar liner 212 may comprise various shapes or sizes. For example, in FIG. 5, collar liner 212 may be provided as a generally planar or two-dimensional material or structure. As used throughout this detailed description and in the claims, the term "two-dimensional" refers to any generally planar material that exhibits a length and width that are generally greater than the thickness of the material. Although two-dimensional materials can have smooth or substantially non-textured surfaces, some two-dimensional materials exhibit texture or other surface characteristics such as, for example, dimples, protrusions, ribs, or various patterns. In other embodiments, the geometry of collar liner 212 may vary and may include various contours or features associated with regions of the foot (eg, the ankle and/or heel regions of the foot). In one embodiment, collar liner 212 may be positioned to contact a region of interior cavity 218 of upper 102 that is rearmost in article 100 . In some embodiments, when collar liner 212 is in its assembled configuration within upper 102 , collar liner 212 may be positioned or lowered along at least a portion of inner surface 220 of upper 102 material in heel region 145 . by its positioning.

在不同的实施方案中,鞋领衬里212可以在不同的位置处联接到物品100。在一些实施方案中,鞋领衬里212的一部分可以附接或联接到物品100的一部分。在一个实施方案中,鞋领衬里212的一部分可以联接到鞋面102的一部分。在一些实施方案中,鞋领衬里212的一部分可以在与开口130相关联的区和/或周边(边界)附近附接到鞋面102的一部分。在一个实施方案中,鞋领衬里212可以沿着沿鞋领310的一部分或邻近鞋领310的一部分延伸的连续的或大体上连续的区附接。因此,在一个实施方案中,鞋领衬里212可以包括用于将鞋领衬里212固定到物品100的一部分的第二附接区530。第二附接区530可以包括缝合、焊接、环、搭扣、粘合剂、维可牢、钩环紧固件、按扣、拉链、条带和/或任何其它种类的紧固件或附接装置等。换句话说,各种不同的固定装置可以被使用,并且在本公开的范围内。在一些情况下,尽管鞋领衬里212会不延续到物品100中,但是当物品100被穿用时,穿用者的体重(具体地,至少穿用者的足部的与脚跟相关联的部分)能够使鞋领衬里212保持相对绷紧。In different embodiments, collar liner 212 may be coupled to article 100 at different locations. In some embodiments, a portion of collar liner 212 may be attached or coupled to a portion of article 100 . In one embodiment, a portion of collar liner 212 may be coupled to a portion of upper 102 . In some embodiments, a portion of collar liner 212 may be attached to a portion of upper 102 near a region and/or perimeter (border) associated with opening 130 . In one embodiment, collar liner 212 may be attached along a continuous or substantially continuous region extending along or adjacent to a portion of collar 310 . Accordingly, in one embodiment, collar liner 212 may include second attachment region 530 for securing collar liner 212 to a portion of article 100 . The second attachment area 530 may include stitching, welding, loops, buckles, adhesives, Velcro, hook and loop fasteners, snaps, zippers, straps, and/or any other type of fastener or attachment. connection device, etc. In other words, a variety of different securing devices may be used and remain within the scope of this disclosure. In some cases, although collar liner 212 may not continue into article 100, when article 100 is worn, the weight of the wearer (specifically, at least the portion of the wearer's foot associated with the heel) The collar liner 212 can be kept relatively taut.

在图5-6中,第二附接区530在与鞋领310相关联的后边缘处邻近开口130定位在鞋跟区145中。在一些实施方案中,第二附接区530的位置可以允许鞋领衬里212相对于鞋面102更容易地移动和/或旋转,同时保持锚固或系栓到物品100。因此,在一些实施方案中,鞋领衬里212的一部分可以被固定地附接或联接到鞋面102的一部分。在一个实施方案中,第二附接区530和第一附接区330(在图3中示出)可以大体上相似或被联接。In FIGS. 5-6 , second attachment region 530 is positioned in heel region 145 adjacent opening 130 at the rear edge associated with collar 310 . In some embodiments, the location of second attachment region 530 may allow collar liner 212 to move and/or rotate more easily relative to upper 102 while remaining anchored or tethered to article 100 . Accordingly, in some embodiments, a portion of collar liner 212 may be fixedly attached or coupled to a portion of upper 102 . In one embodiment, the second attachment area 530 and the first attachment area 330 (shown in FIG. 3 ) can be substantially similar or coupled.

如上所指示的,鞋领衬里212可以是从内部空腔218可移除的。例如,参考图5和图6,鞋领衬里212被示出为正被从鞋面102的内部空腔218中拉出或移除。在图5中,鞋领衬里212的一部分已经从鞋面102的后“壁”被拉起。在一些实施方案中,鞋领衬里212可以包括用于促进鞋领衬里212的移除和/或移动的设施,包括但不限于突片或环。As indicated above, collar liner 212 may be removable from interior cavity 218 . For example, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 , collar liner 212 is shown being pulled or removed from interior cavity 218 of upper 102 . In FIG. 5 , a portion of collar liner 212 has been pulled up from the rear "wall" of upper 102 . In some embodiments, collar liner 212 may include provisions for facilitating removal and/or movement of collar liner 212 including, but not limited to, tabs or loops.

在图6中,鞋领衬里212相对于其在鞋面102内的原始位置以大致“由里向外翻(inside-out)”的姿势设置。换句话说,鞋领衬里212已经从内部空腔218移除,并且沿着第二附接区530在向后方向上旋转。在鞋领衬里212经由第二附接区530固定到鞋面102的实施方案中,鞋领衬里212可以在移除时以各种形状或定向邻近物品100设置。应该理解的是,在其它实施方案中,鞋领衬里212可以是完全可移除的,使得鞋领衬里212可以与物品100完全分离(即,使得不存在第二附接区530)。此外,应该理解的是,在其它实施方案中,物品100可以不包括鞋领衬里212,或者鞋领衬里212的配置可以不同于这里所示出的。在一些实施方案中,鞋领衬里212的移除可以暴露出通往一个或更多个隔室202的在物品100内的通路区。In FIG. 6 , collar liner 212 is disposed in a generally "inside-out" position relative to its original position within upper 102 . In other words, collar liner 212 has been removed from interior cavity 218 and rotated in a rearward direction along second attachment region 530 . In embodiments in which collar liner 212 is secured to upper 102 via second attachment region 530 , collar liner 212 may be disposed adjacent article 100 in various shapes or orientations when removed. It should be appreciated that in other embodiments, collar liner 212 may be completely removable such that collar liner 212 may be completely detached from article 100 (ie, such that second attachment area 530 is absent). Furthermore, it should be understood that in other embodiments, article 100 may not include collar liner 212, or that collar liner 212 may be configured differently than shown here. In some embodiments, removal of collar liner 212 may expose an access area within article 100 to one or more compartments 202 .

因此,在一些实施方案中,物品100的不同的元件、层或部件可以容易地从物品100移出或移除。在一个实施方案中,内靴214和/或鞋领衬里212可以从其组装位置(如图1中所示)拆卸并移除或移位。在一个实施方案中,内靴214、鞋领衬里212和/或其它可移除元件(例如,鞋舌)的移位可以暴露内部空腔218内的不同区域。在一些情况下,这可以促进接近设置在整个物品100中的各个部分或隔室,如将在下面讨论的。Thus, in some embodiments, different elements, layers, or components of article 100 can be easily dislodged or removed from article 100 . In one embodiment, bootie 214 and/or collar liner 212 may be disassembled and removed or displaced from its assembled position (as shown in FIG. 1 ). In one embodiment, displacement of bootie 214 , collar liner 212 , and/or other removable elements (eg, tongue) may expose different areas within interior cavity 218 . In some cases, this may facilitate access to various portions or compartments provided throughout article 100, as will be discussed below.

在不同的实施方案中,应理解的是,用于构造各个部件和结构的材料可以改变。例如,用于内靴214或鞋领衬里212的基层或其它部分可由任何种类的材料构成,包括但不限于各种纺织品。出于本公开的目的,纺织品通常由纤维、丝(filament)或纱线制成,例如,纺织品(a)通过结合、熔合或互锁来构建非编织织物和毡(felts)而由纤维网直接产生,或(b)通过机械操作纱线以产生编织织物形成。例如,纺织品可以包含被布置成赋予单向拉伸或多向拉伸的纤维,且纺织品可以包括形成透气且防水的屏障的涂层。可以使用的纺织品材料的示例包括但不限于:动物纺织品,诸如羊毛和丝绸;植物纺织品,诸如棉花、亚麻、莱赛尔纤维(lyocell);合成纺织品,诸如聚酯、芳纶、腈纶、尼龙、氨纶,烯烃纤维、英吉尔纤维(ingeo)、卢勒克斯织物(lurex)和碳纤维。在其它实施方案中,用于制造内靴基层的材料可以包括无纺织物、柔性材料、聚合物层、天然皮革、合成皮革以及任何其它材料。在一些情况下,可以使用可以由聚合物材料挤压、轧碾或以其它方式形成以呈现出大致平坦的面的聚合物片。内靴或鞋领衬里材料还可以涵盖层压材料或以其它方式分层的材料,这些材料包括两层或更多层纺织品、聚合物片或纺织品和聚合物片的组合。In different embodiments, it is understood that the materials used to construct the various components and structures may vary. For example, the base layer or other portion for bootie 214 or collar liner 212 may be constructed of any variety of materials including, but not limited to, various textiles. For the purposes of this disclosure, textiles are generally made from fibers, filaments, or yarns, for example, textiles (a) are formed directly from webs of fibers by bonding, fusing, or interlocking to construct non-woven fabrics and felts. produced, or (b) by mechanically manipulating the yarn to produce a woven fabric formation. For example, a textile may comprise fibers arranged to impart unidirectional stretch or multidirectional stretch, and the textile may include a coating that forms a breathable and waterproof barrier. Examples of textile materials that can be used include, but are not limited to: animal textiles such as wool and silk; vegetable textiles such as cotton, linen, lyocell; synthetic textiles such as polyester, aramid, acrylic, nylon, Spandex, olefin, ingeo, lurex and carbon. In other embodiments, the materials used to make the bootie base layer may include non-woven fabrics, flexible materials, polymer layers, natural leather, synthetic leather, and any other material. In some cases, a polymer sheet that may be extruded, rolled, or otherwise formed from a polymeric material to exhibit a generally flat face may be used. The bootie or collar lining material may also encompass laminated or otherwise layered materials comprising two or more layers of textiles, polymer sheets, or a combination of textiles and polymer sheets.

Thus, as an example, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. , the third compartment 206 is configured to receive the third component 830 and the fourth compartment 207 is configured to receive the fourth component 840 .

为了更好地说明各个部件与物品100的结合,图9-16提供了描绘图8的部件800的插入和安装的不同实施方案的一系列图。参考图9,包括壳体单元的第一部件810被示出为邻近物品100。在一些实施方案中,壳体单元可以包括可以在张紧系统150(见图1)中使用的各种机构或部件。在一些情况下,壳体单元可以包括机动化张紧设备(见上面参考图1所讨论的)。例如,在第一部件810的内部内,可以有电池(或其它电源)、电路(或其它控制机构)、卷轴、齿轮、马达、光源和/或其它机构。然而,在其它实施方案中,第一部件810可以包括用于插入到物品100中的任何期望的物体或元件。壳体单元在不同的实施方案中可以具有不同的尺寸和/或形状。在图9中,第一部件810具有大体上三维的矩形形状。To better illustrate the incorporation of the various components into the article 100, FIGS. 9-16 provide a series of diagrams depicting different embodiments of the insertion and installation of the component 800 of FIG. Referring to FIG. 9 , a first component 810 comprising a housing unit is shown adjacent to article 100 . In some embodiments, the housing unit may include various mechanisms or components that may be used in tensioning system 150 (see FIG. 1 ). In some cases, the housing unit may include a motorized tensioning device (see discussion above with reference to FIG. 1 ). For example, within the interior of the first component 810, there may be batteries (or other power source), electrical circuits (or other control mechanism), reels, gears, motors, light sources, and/or other mechanisms. However, in other embodiments, first component 810 may include any desired object or element for insertion into article 100 . The housing unit may have different sizes and/or shapes in different embodiments. In FIG. 9, the first part 810 has a generally three-dimensional rectangular shape.

在图9中,连接元件710在图7中所示的部分示出为其接触第一部件810。在一些实施方案中,第一部件810可以包括用于与连接元件710连接的端口或其它容纳部。在图8和图9中,第一部件810被示出为其正被固定到连接元件710的一部分。In FIG. 9 , the portion of the connection element 710 shown in FIG. 7 is shown as it contacts the first part 810 . In some embodiments, the first component 810 may include a port or other receptacle for connection with the connection element 710 . In FIGS. 8 and 9 , the first part 810 is shown as part of it being secured to the connection element 710 .

在一些实施方案中,在与连接元件710已经发生连接之后,会期望将第一部件810安装在物品100中。然而,应理解的是,第一部件810的安装也可以在与物品100的元件没有任何前连接(或后续连接)的情况下发生。参考图10,描绘了鞋面102中的内部空腔218的视图。在该图中,可选的鞋内底已经被移除从而显露出鞋底板250的一部分。如之前所述的,在一些实施方案中,鞋底板250可以包括配置为接纳或容纳第一部件810的区,在此被标识为第一隔室202。In some embodiments, it may be desirable to install first component 810 in article 100 after connection with connection element 710 has occurred. It should be understood, however, that the mounting of the first component 810 may also occur without any prior connection (or subsequent connection) to an element of the article 100 . Referring to FIG. 10 , a view of interior cavity 218 in upper 102 is depicted. In this view, the optional insole has been removed to reveal a portion of sole plate 250 . As previously mentioned, in some embodiments, sole plate 250 may include a region, identified herein as first compartment 202 , configured to receive or house first component 810 .

如在放大图1050中最佳描绘的,第一隔室202可以包括在鞋底板250中的腔275。腔275可以由在鞋底板250中形成具有平均深度1010的区的一个或更多个侧壁界定。在一些实施方案中,腔275的尺寸可被设计成或配置成用于牢固且/或紧密地接纳第一部件810的壳体单元。在图10中,腔275包括深度1010,深度1010大于包括第一部件810的壳体单元的厚度1020。此外,在一些情况下,与第一部件810的第一侧1032相关联的第一区域可以小于与腔275的基部1004相关联的第二区域。换句话说,腔275可以被设定尺寸成至少部分地包围或容下第一部件810。在一些实施方案中,例如,基部的第二区域可以略微大于第一侧1032的第一区域,使得在第一部件810和第一隔室202之间形成大体上紧密的配合。然而,在其它实施方案中,第一部件810或第一隔室202的尺寸可以相异,使得一个与另一个实质上不同。As best depicted in enlarged view 1050 , first compartment 202 may include cavity 275 in sole plate 250 . Cavity 275 may be bounded by one or more sidewalls forming a region of average depth 1010 in sole plate 250 . In some embodiments, the cavity 275 may be sized or configured for securely and/or snugly receiving the housing unit of the first component 810 . In FIG. 10 , the cavity 275 includes a depth 1010 that is greater than the thickness 1020 of the housing unit including the first part 810 . Additionally, in some cases, a first area associated with first side 1032 of first component 810 may be smaller than a second area associated with base 1004 of cavity 275 . In other words, cavity 275 may be sized to at least partially surround or contain first component 810 . In some embodiments, for example, the second area of the base can be slightly larger than the first area of the first side 1032 such that a generally tight fit is formed between the first component 810 and the first compartment 202 . However, in other embodiments, the first component 810 or the first compartment 202 may differ in size such that one is substantially different from the other.

因此,在一些实施方案中,第一部件810可容易地存放或插入鞋底板250的腔275中,而不需要从物品100移除鞋底板250。然而,在其它实施方案中,会需要在安装第一部件810之前移除鞋底板250。另外,在一些实施方案中,如果需要的话,则其它绝缘或固定材料可以插入到腔275中以进一步稳定第一部件810。Thus, in some embodiments, first component 810 may be easily stored or inserted into cavity 275 of sole plate 250 without removing sole plate 250 from article 100 . In other embodiments, however, it may be desirable to remove sole plate 250 prior to installation of first component 810 . Additionally, in some embodiments, other insulating or securing material may be inserted into cavity 275 to further stabilize first member 810, if desired.

一旦第一部件810已被插入,则鞋内底216可以被放回。此外,如果物品100中不需要其它另外的部件,则内靴214和/或鞋领衬里212或其它可移除的元件可以回到内部空腔218(见图18),这可以在一个实施方案中大体上完成安装过程。然而,在其它实施方案中,可以并入另外或不同的部件,如下所讨论的。Once the first component 810 has been inserted, the insole 216 can be put back on. Additionally, the bootie 214 and/or collar liner 212 or other removable elements can be returned to the interior cavity 218 (see FIG. in the main to complete the installation process. However, in other embodiments, additional or different components may be incorporated, as discussed below.

在不同的实施方案中,对物品中的机动化系带系统或其它电气或自动化特征的控制可以使用各种工艺和器械来实现。现在参考图11和12,一些实施方案可以利用各种类型的设备来向机动化张紧系统或与物品100相关联的其它系统发送命令。例如,一些实施方案可以包含用于向机动化张紧系统的控制单元提供信息的各种传感器。在一些实施方案中,传感器可以将电流作为输入提供给控制单元。在一些情况下,例如,预定的电流可以被认为对应于一定的压力或重量。在一个实施方案中,压力传感器可以用在物品的鞋内底下方以在用户站立时指示。在另一个实施方案中,机动化张紧系统可以被编程为当用户从站立位置移动至坐下位置时自动地松开鞋带的张力。这样的配置对老年人会是有用的,当坐下时,老年人会需要低的张力以促进血液循环,而当站立时,老年人为了安全会需要高的张力。在其它实施方案中,响应于来自传感器的信息,机动化张紧系统的各种特征可以打开或关闭,或者调节鞋带的张力。在其它实施方案中,传感器可以用于提供可确定LED或其它光源的激活的信息。然而,在其它实施方案中,应理解,任何传感器的使用可以是可选的。In various embodiments, control of motorized lacing systems or other electrical or automated features in an article can be accomplished using various techniques and instruments. Referring now to FIGS. 11 and 12 , some embodiments may utilize various types of devices to send commands to a motorized tensioning system or other system associated with item 100 . For example, some embodiments may include various sensors for providing information to the control unit of the motorized tensioning system. In some embodiments, the sensor may provide electrical current as an input to the control unit. In some cases, for example, a predetermined current may be considered to correspond to a certain pressure or weight. In one embodiment, a pressure sensor may be used under the insole of the article to indicate when the user is standing. In another embodiment, the motorized tensioning system may be programmed to automatically loosen the tension on the shoelaces as the user moves from a standing position to a sitting position. Such a configuration may be useful for the elderly, who may require low tension for blood circulation when sitting and high tension for safety when standing. In other embodiments, various features of the motorized tensioning system may be turned on or off, or the tension of the laces adjusted, in response to information from the sensors. In other embodiments, sensors can be used to provide information that can determine the activation of LEDs or other light sources. However, in other embodiments, it should be understood that the use of any sensors may be optional.

在不同的实施方案中,提供信息的传感器可以包括但不限于:用于检测站立和/或运动速率的在鞋内底中的压力传感器、弯折指示器、应变仪、陀螺仪和加速度计。在一些实施方案中,代替或除了维持初始张力之外,传感器信息可以用于建立新的目标张力。例如,压力传感器可以用来测量鞋类物品的鞋面对穿用者的足部的接触压力并自动调节以实现期望的压力。In various embodiments, informative sensors may include, but are not limited to: pressure sensors in the insole for detecting stance and/or rate of movement, bend indicators, strain gauges, gyroscopes, and accelerometers. In some embodiments, instead of or in addition to maintaining the initial tension, sensor information may be used to establish a new target tension. For example, pressure sensors may be used to measure the contact pressure of the upper of the article of footwear against the wearer's foot and automatically adjust to achieve the desired pressure.

在一些实施方案中,诸如陀螺仪和加速度计的传感器可以被并入到物品100中。例如,在一些实施方案中,加速度计和/或陀螺仪可以用于检测可以被用作调节鞋带张力的反馈的瞬时力矩和/或位置信息。这些传感器还可以被实施以控制睡眠/醒来的时段进而延长电池寿命。在一些情况下,例如,来自这些传感器的信息可以被用于当用户处于非活动状态时减少系统中的系带张力,且在用户处于较大活动的时段期间增加系带张力。In some embodiments, sensors such as gyroscopes and accelerometers may be incorporated into article 100 . For example, in some embodiments, accelerometers and/or gyroscopes may be used to detect instantaneous torque and/or position information that may be used as feedback to adjust shoelace tension. These sensors can also be implemented to control sleep/wake periods to extend battery life. In some cases, for example, information from these sensors may be used to reduce lace tension in the system when the user is inactive, and increase lace tension during periods of greater user activity.

还可设想,一些实施方案可以包含压力传感器以检测在收紧期间可发展的高压区。在一些情况下,鞋带的张力可以自动地减小以避免这样的高压区。此外,在一些情况下,系统可以提示用户改变与这些高压区相关联的系带布置。It is also contemplated that some embodiments may include pressure sensors to detect areas of high pressure that may develop during contraction. In some cases, the tension of the laces may be automatically reduced to avoid such high pressure areas. Additionally, in some cases, the system may prompt the user to change the lace placement associated with these high pressure areas.

进一步可设想,在一些实施方案中,用户可以通过马达脉冲被提供反馈,马达脉冲向用户产生振动/声音形式的触觉反馈。这样的设施可以直接促进张紧系统的操作,或向与机动化张紧设备通信的其它系统提供触觉反馈。It is further contemplated that in some embodiments the user may be provided with feedback via motor pulses which produce tactile feedback in the form of vibration/sound to the user. Such a facility may directly facilitate the operation of the tensioning system, or provide tactile feedback to other systems in communication with the motorized tensioning device.

响应于各种输入自动地操作机动化张紧设备的各种方法可以被使用。例如,在初始收紧鞋之后,鞋带张力在使用的最初几分钟内快速下降是常见的。张紧系统的一些实施方案可以包括用于将鞋带张力重新调节至由用户设定的初始张力的设施。在一些实施方案中,控制单元可以配置成监测在这最初的几分钟内的张力以便然后重新调节张力进而匹配原始张力。Various methods of automatically operating the motorized tensioning device in response to various inputs may be used. For example, after the initial tightening of the shoe, it is common for the lace tension to drop rapidly within the first few minutes of use. Some embodiments of the tensioning system may include a facility for readjusting the lace tension to an initial tension set by the user. In some embodiments, the control unit may be configured to monitor the tension during these first few minutes in order to then readjust the tension to match the original tension.

参考图11,包括传感器的第二部件820被示出为邻近物品100。在一些实施方案中,传感器可以包括可用于测量物品100中的电流、压力或其它性能的各种机构或部件。在不同的实施方案中,传感器可以检测和测量力或施加载荷的相对变化、检测和测量力的变化率、识别力阈值和/或检测接触和/或触摸。Referring to FIG. 11 , a second component 820 including a sensor is shown adjacent to the item 100 . In some embodiments, sensors may include various mechanisms or components that may be used to measure current, pressure, or other properties in item 100 . In various embodiments, sensors may detect and measure relative changes in force or applied load, detect and measure rates of change in force, recognize force thresholds, and/or detect contact and/or touch.

在一些情况下,传感器可以包括大致二维的材料。在一些实施方案中,第二部件820可以包括压电材料。然而,在其它实施方案中,第二部件820可以包括用于插入到物品100中的任何期望的物体或元件。传感器在不同的实施方案中可以具有不同的尺寸和/或形状。在图11中,第二部件820具有大体上卵形或椭圆形的形状。在其它实施方案中,第二部件820的尺寸和/或形状可以不同。In some cases, a sensor can include a substantially two-dimensional material. In some embodiments, the second component 820 can include a piezoelectric material. However, in other embodiments, second component 820 may include any desired object or element for insertion into article 100 . Sensors may have different sizes and/or shapes in different embodiments. In FIG. 11, the second member 820 has a generally oval or elliptical shape. In other embodiments, the size and/or shape of the second member 820 can vary.

在图11中,示出了与第二部件820接触之前上面描述的连接元件的第二部分(为了方便起见,现标记为“第二部分”1150)。在一些实施方案中,第二部件820可以包括用于与第二部分1150连接的端口或其它容纳部。例如,在图11中,第二部件820具有用于接触和/或连接到第二部分1150的端口1190。在一些实施方案中,第二部件820可以经由设置在护套1180或其它类型的保护或绝缘覆盖物中的布线而链接到端口1190。In FIG. 11 , the second portion of the connection element described above (now labeled "second portion" 1150 for convenience) is shown prior to contact with the second component 820 . In some embodiments, the second component 820 may include a port or other receptacle for connection with the second portion 1150 . For example, in FIG. 11 , the second component 820 has a port 1190 for contacting and/or connecting to the second portion 1150 . In some embodiments, the second component 820 may be linked to the port 1190 via wiring disposed in the sheath 1180 or other type of protective or insulating covering.

在一些实施方案中,在已经与第二部分1150发生连接之后,会期望将第二部件820安装在物品100中。然而,应该理解的是,第二部件820的安装也可以在与物品100的元件没有任何前连接(或后续连接)的情况下发生。现在参考图11和图12,描绘了鞋面102中的内部空腔218的视图。可选的鞋内底已经被移除从而显露出鞋底结构104的一部分。如之前所述的,在一些实施方案中,鞋底结构104可以包括配置成接纳或容纳第二部件820的区,在此被标识为第二隔室204。在不同的实施方案中,第二隔室204可以设置在鞋底结构104的包括鞋内底216在内的任何层中;在这种情况下,鞋内底216将不需要被提起来露出第二隔室204,因为内靴214和/或鞋领衬里212的移除可以充分暴露通往第二隔室204的通路。在其它情况下,第二隔室204可以设置在鞋底板250、鞋底夹层151、鞋外底162或鞋底结构104的任何其它部分中。In some embodiments, it may be desirable to install second component 820 in article 100 after connection with second portion 1150 has occurred. It should be understood, however, that the installation of the second component 820 may also occur without any prior connection (or subsequent connection) to an element of the article 100 . Referring now to FIGS. 11 and 12 , views of interior cavity 218 in upper 102 are depicted. The optional insole has been removed to reveal a portion of sole structure 104 . As previously mentioned, in some embodiments, sole structure 104 may include a region, identified herein as second compartment 204 , configured to receive or house second component 820 . In various embodiments, the second compartment 204 may be disposed in any layer of the sole structure 104 including the insole 216; in this case, the insole 216 would not need to be lifted to expose the second compartment. Compartment 204 , since removal of bootie 214 and/or collar liner 212 may substantially expose access to second compartment 204 . In other cases, second compartment 204 may be disposed in sole plate 250 , midsole 151 , outsole 162 , or any other portion of sole structure 104 .

第二隔室204还可以包括沿着鞋面102的一部分设置的套状区。因此,第二隔室204可以由一起形成孔道1110的一个或更多个鞋面层至少部分地限定。应理解的是,第二隔室204可以另外包括槽或入口,该槽或入口可以提供通向孔道1110的内部的通路。在一个实施方案中,在插入第二部件820之后,槽可以被固定或大体上闭合。Second compartment 204 may also include a sleeve-like region disposed along a portion of upper 102 . Accordingly, second compartment 204 may be at least partially defined by one or more upper layers that together form tunnel 1110 . It should be understood that the second compartment 204 may additionally include a slot or inlet that may provide access to the interior of the channel 1110 . In one embodiment, after the second component 820 is inserted, the slot can be fixed or substantially closed.

如图11和图12中所示,在一些实施方案中,第二隔室204还可以包括在鞋底结构104中的凹部1175。在一个实施方案中,第二隔室204沿着鞋跟区145设置在鞋底夹层151中。在一个实施方案中,凹部1175可以由一个或更多个相对浅的侧壁限定。在一些实施方案中,凹部1175的尺寸可以被设计或配置成牢固且/或紧密地接纳包括第二部件820的传感器。在图12中,凹部1175包括比包括第二部件820的传感器的厚度大的深度。此外,与第二部件820的第一侧相关联的第一区域可以小于与凹部1175的基部相关联的第二区域。换句话说,凹部1175可以被设定尺寸成至少部分地包围或容下第二部件820。在一些实施例中,例如,凹部1175的第二区域可以略微大于第二部件820的第一区域,使得在第二部件820和第二隔室204之间形成大体上紧密的配合。然而,在其它实施方案中,第二部件820或第二隔室204的尺寸可以相异,使得一个与另一个实质上不同。As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 , in some embodiments, the second compartment 204 may also include a recess 1175 in the sole structure 104 . In one embodiment, second compartment 204 is disposed in midsole 151 along heel region 145 . In one embodiment, recess 1175 may be defined by one or more relatively shallow sidewalls. In some embodiments, recess 1175 may be sized or configured to securely and/or snugly receive a sensor including second component 820 . In FIG. 12 , recess 1175 includes a depth greater than the thickness of the sensor including second member 820 . Additionally, a first area associated with the first side of the second component 820 may be smaller than a second area associated with the base of the recess 1175 . In other words, the recess 1175 may be sized to at least partially surround or accommodate the second component 820 . In some embodiments, for example, the second area of the recess 1175 can be slightly larger than the first area of the second component 820 such that a generally tight fit is formed between the second component 820 and the second compartment 204 . However, in other embodiments, the dimensions of the second component 820 or the second compartment 204 may differ such that one is substantially different from the other.

因此,在一些实施方案中,第二部件820可容易地存放或插入鞋底夹层151的凹部1175中,而不需要从物品100移除鞋底夹层151。然而,在其它实施方案中,在将第二部件820安装到物品100中之前,可能需要移除鞋底夹层151或鞋底结构104的另一层。Thus, in some embodiments, second component 820 may be easily stored or inserted into recess 1175 of midsole 151 without removing midsole 151 from article 100 . In other embodiments, however, midsole 151 or another layer of sole structure 104 may need to be removed prior to installing second component 820 into article 100 .

一旦第二部件820已被插入,则鞋内底216可以被放回。此外,如果物品100中不需要其它另外的部件,则内靴214和/或鞋领衬里212或其它可移除的元件可以回到内部空腔218(见图18),这可以在一个实施方案中大体上完成安装过程。然而,在其它实施方案中,可以并入另外或不同的部件,如下所讨论的。Once the second component 820 has been inserted, the insole 216 may be put back on. Additionally, the bootie 214 and/or collar liner 212 or other removable elements can be returned to the interior cavity 218 (see FIG. in the main to complete the installation process. However, in other embodiments, additional or different components may be incorporated, as discussed below.

现在参考图13,示出了在安装到物品100中期间包括发光二极管条带(在此被称为LED单元)的第三部件830。在一些实施方案中,LED单元可以包括可以在张紧系统150(见图1)中使用的各种机构或部件。在一些情况下,LED单元可以包括具有不同尺寸、颜色和/或强度水平的一个或更多个LED。例如,第三部件830包括五个LED。然而,在其它实施方案中,第三部件830可以包括用于插入到物品100中的任何期望的物体或元件。LED单元在不同的实施方案中可以具有不同的尺寸和/或形状。在图13中,第三部件830具有大体上二维的形状。此外,LED沿着大体上连续的矩形形状的且相对窄的条带设置。Referring now to FIG. 13 , a third component 830 comprising light emitting diode strips (herein referred to as LED units) is shown during installation into article 100 . In some embodiments, the LED unit can include various mechanisms or components that can be used in tensioning system 150 (see FIG. 1 ). In some cases, an LED unit may include one or more LEDs of different sizes, colors, and/or intensity levels. For example, the third component 830 includes five LEDs. However, in other embodiments, third component 830 may include any desired object or element for insertion into article 100 . The LED units may have different sizes and/or shapes in different embodiments. In FIG. 13, the third member 830 has a substantially two-dimensional shape. Furthermore, the LEDs are arranged along a generally continuous rectangular shaped and relatively narrow strip.

在图13中,示出了在经由端口1190与第三部件830接触之前连接元件的第二部分1150。换句话说,在一些实施方案中,第三部件830和第二部件820可以沿着沿共同的护套1180设置的线材共用公共端口或连接部分。在其它实施方案中,两个或更多个部件可以包括它们自己的单独的端口和/或布线组件。在图13中,第三部件830具有用于接触和/或连接到第二部分1150的端口1190。此外,在一些实施方案中,连接元件的大体上相同的部分可以接触第二部件820和第三部件830两者。In FIG. 13 , the second portion 1150 of the connection element is shown prior to contact with the third component 830 via the port 1190 . In other words, in some embodiments, the third component 830 and the second component 820 may share a common port or connection along a wire disposed along a common sheath 1180 . In other embodiments, two or more components may include their own separate ports and/or wiring assemblies. In FIG. 13 , the third component 830 has a port 1190 for contacting and/or connecting to the second part 1150 . Furthermore, in some embodiments, substantially the same portion of the connecting element may contact both the second component 820 and the third component 830 .

在一些实施方案中,在与连接元件710已经发生连接之后,可能期望将第三部件830安装在物品100中。然而,应理解的是,第三部件830的安装也可以在与物品100的元件没有任何前连接(或后续连接)的情况下发生。In some embodiments, it may be desirable to install third component 830 in article 100 after connection with connection element 710 has occurred. However, it should be understood that the installation of the third component 830 may also occur without any prior connection (or subsequent connection) to the elements of the article 100 .

在一些实施方案中,第三隔室206可以包括沿着鞋面102的一部分设置的套状区。第三隔室206可以由一起形成孔道1375的一个或更多个鞋面层至少部分地限定。应理解的是,第三隔室206可以另外包括槽1350,槽1350可以提供通向孔道1375的内部的通路。在一个实施方案中,在插入第三隔室830之后,槽1350可以被固定或大体上闭合。在其它实施方案中,孔道1375和/或槽1350可以大体上类似于上面描述的用于与第二部件820一起使用的槽和孔道。然而,在其它实施方案中,所使用的槽和孔道可以不同。In some embodiments, third compartment 206 may include a sleeve-like region disposed along a portion of upper 102 . Third compartment 206 may be at least partially defined by one or more upper layers that together form tunnel 1375 . It should be understood that the third compartment 206 may additionally include a slot 1350 which may provide access to the interior of the bore 1375 . In one embodiment, the slot 1350 may be fixed or substantially closed after insertion of the third compartment 830 . In other embodiments, the channels 1375 and/or slots 1350 may be substantially similar to the slots and channels described above for use with the second component 820 . However, in other embodiments, the slots and channels used may be different.

在一些实施方案中,孔道1375的尺寸可被设计成或配置成用于牢固且/或紧密地接纳第三部件830的LED单元。例如,在图14中,孔道1475包括比第三部件830的LED单元的宽度大的直径。此外,与LED单元相关联的第一长度可以小于与第三隔室206的孔道1375相关联的第二长度。换句话说,孔道1375可以被设定尺寸成至少部分地包围、容纳或容下第三部件830。在一些实施方案中,例如,孔道1375的第二长度可以略微大于LED单元的第一长度,使得在第三部件830和第三隔室206之间形成大体上紧密的配合。然而,在其它实施方案中,第三部件830和第三隔室206的尺寸可以相异,使得一个与另一个实质上不同。例如,根据护套1180的被并入到鞋面102中的部分的长度和尺寸,孔道1375可以延伸以容纳与控制设备830相关联的布线。In some embodiments, the aperture 1375 can be sized or configured for securely and/or tightly receiving the LED unit of the third component 830 . For example, in FIG. 14 , the aperture 1475 includes a diameter that is larger than the width of the LED unit of the third component 830 . Additionally, the first length associated with the LED unit may be less than the second length associated with the aperture 1375 of the third compartment 206 . In other words, the aperture 1375 may be sized to at least partially surround, contain, or contain the third component 830 . In some embodiments, for example, the second length of the aperture 1375 can be slightly greater than the first length of the LED unit such that a generally tight fit is formed between the third member 830 and the third compartment 206 . However, in other embodiments, the dimensions of the third component 830 and the third compartment 206 may differ such that one is substantially different from the other. For example, depending on the length and size of the portion of sheath 1180 that is incorporated into upper 102 , tunnel 1375 may extend to accommodate wiring associated with control device 830 .

因此,在一些实施方案中,第三部件830可以容易地滑动或插入到鞋面102的孔道1375中,而不需要移除鞋面102的各个层。一旦第三部件830已经被插入,如果物品100中不需要其它另外的部件,则内靴214和/或鞋领衬里212或其它可移除的元件可以回到内部空腔218(见图18),这可以在一个实施方案中大体上完成安装过程。然而,在其它实施方案中,可以并入另外或不同的部件,如下所讨论的。Thus, in some embodiments, third member 830 may be easily slid or inserted into channel 1375 of upper 102 without removing individual layers of upper 102 . Once third component 830 has been inserted, bootie 214 and/or collar liner 212 or other removable elements may be returned to interior cavity 218 if no other additional components are required in article 100 (see FIG. 18 ) , which may substantially complete the installation process in one embodiment. However, in other embodiments, additional or different components may be incorporated, as discussed below.

如上面关于图11-12中的第二部件820所述的,物品100的一些实施方案可以利用各种设备来将命令发送或传输到机动化张紧系统或其它机构。在一些实施方案中,用于收紧、松开和/或执行其它他功能的按钮可以直接定位在物品上或直接定位在物品中。出于本公开的目的,按钮是指可被按压或以其它方式被操控进而对机构进行操作的材料或元件,诸如凸片、开关、旋钮、控制器、杠杆、手柄或其它这样的控制装置。As described above with respect to second component 820 in FIGS. 11-12, some embodiments of article 100 may utilize various devices to send or transmit commands to a motorized tensioning system or other mechanism. In some embodiments, buttons for tightening, loosening, and/or performing other functions may be located directly on or within the article. For purposes of this disclosure, a button refers to a material or element, such as a tab, switch, knob, controller, lever, handle, or other such control device, that can be pressed or otherwise manipulated to operate a mechanism.

参考图15和图16,在一些情况下,例如,第四部件840可以包括用于启动递增收紧和递增松开命令的一个或更多个按钮。在其它实施方案中,可以包括另外的按钮,以用于启动包括打开命令(或完全松开命令)、储存张力命令和返回所储存张力的命令在内的任何其它命令。还有的其它实施方案可以包含用于发出任何其它种类命令的任何其它按钮。Referring to FIGS. 15 and 16 , in some cases, for example, fourth component 840 may include one or more buttons for initiating incremental tightening and incremental loosening commands. In other embodiments, additional buttons may be included for initiating any other commands including an open command (or a full release command), a stored tension command, and a return to stored tension command. Still other embodiments may include any other button for issuing any other kind of command.

参考图15,包括控制单元或按钮板的第四部件840被示出为安装在物品100的第四隔室207内。在一些实施方案中,“按钮板”可以包括各种开关、机构或可用于测量物品100中的电流、压力或其它性能的部件。在不同的实施方案中,按钮板可以检测和测量力或施加载荷的相对变化、检测和测量力的变化率、识别力阈值和/或检测接触和/或触摸。Referring to FIG. 15 , a fourth component 840 comprising a control unit or button pad is shown mounted within the fourth compartment 207 of the article 100 . In some embodiments, a "button pad" may include various switches, mechanisms, or components that may be used to measure current, pressure, or other properties in item 100 . In various embodiments, the button pad can detect and measure relative changes in force or applied load, detect and measure rates of change in force, recognize force thresholds, and/or detect contact and/or touch.

在一些情况下,按钮板可以包括大致二维的材料。在一些实施方案中,第四部件840可包括一个或更多个按钮。在图16中,第四部件840包括第一按钮1610、第二按钮1620和第三按钮1630。然而,在其它实施方案中,第四部件840可以包括用于插入到物品100中的任何期望的物体或元件和/或包括任何数量的按钮。按钮板在不同的实施方案中还可以具有不同的尺寸和/或形状。在图16中,按钮沿着大体上连续的矩形形状的且相对窄的条带设置。在其它实施方案中,第四部件840的尺寸和/或形状可以不同。In some cases, the button pad can include a substantially two-dimensional material. In some embodiments, the fourth component 840 may include one or more buttons. In FIG. 16 , the fourth part 840 includes a first button 1610 , a second button 1620 and a third button 1630 . However, in other embodiments, fourth component 840 may include any desired object or element for insertion into article 100 and/or include any number of buttons. The button pads may also have different sizes and/or shapes in different embodiments. In Fig. 16, the buttons are arranged along a generally continuous rectangular shaped and relatively narrow strip. In other embodiments, the size and/or shape of the fourth member 840 may vary.

在图15中,示出了在经由端口1190与第四部件840接触之前连接元件710的第二部分1150。换句话说,在一些实施方案中,第四部件840、第三部件830和第二部件820可以沿着沿共同的护套1180设置的线材共用共同的端口或连接部分。在其它实施方案中,两个或更多个部件可以包括它们自己的单独的端口和/或布线组件。在图15中,第四部件840具有用于接触和/或连接到连接元件的第二部分1150的端口1190。In FIG. 15 , the second portion 1150 of the connection element 710 is shown prior to contact with the fourth component 840 via the port 1190 . In other words, in some embodiments, fourth component 840 , third component 830 , and second component 820 may share a common port or connection along a wire disposed along a common sheath 1180 . In other embodiments, two or more components may include their own separate ports and/or wiring assemblies. In Fig. 15, the fourth part 840 has a port 1190 for contacting and/or connecting to the second part 1150 of the connection element.

在一些实施方案中,在与连接元件710已经发生连接之后,会期望将第四部件840安装在物品100中。然而,应该理解的是,第四部件840的安装也可以在与物品100的元件没有任何前连接(或后续连接)的情况下发生。In some embodiments, it may be desirable to install fourth component 840 in article 100 after connection with connection element 710 has occurred. However, it should be understood that the installation of the fourth component 840 may also occur without any prior connection (or subsequent connection) to the elements of the article 100 .

参考图15和图16,在一些实施方案中,第四隔室207可以包括沿着鞋面102的一部分设置的套状区。第四隔室207可以由一起形成孔道1575的一个或更多个鞋面层至少部分地限定。应理解的是,第四隔室207可以另外包括槽1550,槽1550可以提供通向孔道1575的内部的通路。在一个实施方案中,在插入第四隔室840之后,槽1550可以被固定或大体上闭合。另外,第四隔室207可以包括用于允许接近按钮或其它控制机构的设施。在图16中,例如,描绘了在鞋面102的一部分中包括孔口的第一孔1662、第二孔1664和第三孔1666。在一些实施方案中,当第四部件840安装在鞋面102中时,第一孔1662可以与第一按钮1610对齐,第二孔1664可以与第二按钮1620对齐,且第三孔1666可以与第三按钮1630对齐。换句话说,一些隔室可以包括允许外部用户与任何安装的部件的至少一部分接触的暴露部分。Referring to FIGS. 15 and 16 , in some embodiments, fourth compartment 207 may include a sleeve-like region disposed along a portion of upper 102 . Fourth compartment 207 may be at least partially defined by one or more upper layers that together form tunnel 1575 . It should be understood that the fourth compartment 207 may additionally include a slot 1550 which may provide access to the interior of the channel 1575 . In one embodiment, the slot 1550 may be fixed or substantially closed after the fourth compartment 840 is inserted. Additionally, the fourth compartment 207 may include facilities for allowing access to buttons or other control mechanisms. In FIG. 16 , for example, a first aperture 1662 , a second aperture 1664 , and a third aperture 1666 including apertures in a portion of upper 102 are depicted. In some embodiments, when fourth component 840 is installed in upper 102 , first hole 1662 can be aligned with first button 1610 , second hole 1664 can be aligned with second button 1620 , and third hole 1666 can be aligned with The third button 1630 is aligned. In other words, some compartments may include exposed portions that allow an external user to contact at least a portion of any installed components.

在不同的实施方案中,孔道1575的尺寸可被设计或配置成用于牢固且/或紧密地接纳第四部件840的按钮板。例如,在图15和图16中,孔道1575包括比与第四部件840的按钮板相关联的宽度大的直径。此外,与按钮板相关联的第一长度可以小于与第四隔室207的孔道1575相关联的第二长度。换句话说,孔道1575可以被设定尺寸成至少部分地包围、容纳或容下第四部件840。在一些实施方案中,例如,孔道1575的第二长度可以略微大于按钮板的第一长度,使得在第四部件840和第四隔室207之间形成大体上紧密的配合。然而,在其它实施方案中,第四部件840和第四隔室207的尺寸可以相异,使得一个与另一个实质上不同。例如,根据护套1180的被并入到鞋面102中的部分的长度和尺寸,孔道1575可以延伸以容纳与第四部件840相关联的布线。In various embodiments, the aperture 1575 can be sized or configured to securely and/or snugly receive the button plate of the fourth component 840 . For example, in FIGS. 15 and 16 , the aperture 1575 includes a diameter that is larger than the width associated with the button plate of the fourth component 840 . Additionally, the first length associated with the button plate may be less than the second length associated with the bore 1575 of the fourth compartment 207 . In other words, the aperture 1575 can be sized to at least partially surround, contain, or contain the fourth component 840 . In some embodiments, for example, the second length of the aperture 1575 can be slightly greater than the first length of the button plate such that a generally tight fit is formed between the fourth member 840 and the fourth compartment 207 . However, in other embodiments, the dimensions of the fourth component 840 and the fourth compartment 207 may differ such that one is substantially different from the other. For example, depending on the length and size of the portion of sheath 1180 that is incorporated into upper 102 , tunnel 1575 may extend to accommodate wiring associated with fourth component 840 .

因此,在一些实施方案中,第四部件840可以容易地滑动或插入到鞋面102中的孔道1575中,而不需要移除鞋面102的各个层。一旦第四部件840已经被插入,如果物品100中不需要其它另外的部件,则内靴214和/或鞋领衬里212或其它可移除的元件可以回到内部空腔218(见图18),这可以在一个实施方案中大体上完成安装过程。然而,在其它实施方案中,可以并入另外或不同的部件,如前面所讨论的。Accordingly, in some embodiments, fourth component 840 may be easily slid or inserted into channel 1575 in upper 102 without removing individual layers of upper 102 . Once fourth component 840 has been inserted, bootie 214 and/or collar liner 212 or other removable elements may be returned to interior cavity 218 if no other additional components are required in article 100 (see FIG. 18 ) , which may substantially complete the installation process in one embodiment. However, in other embodiments, additional or different components may be incorporated, as previously discussed.

现在参考图17,物品100被示出为安装有部件800。在图17中,鞋面102和鞋底结构104以虚线示出以提供内部空腔218和各种隔室的视图。可以看出,第一部件810沿着鞋底板250设置在第一隔室202中。此外,第二部件820沿着鞋跟区145设置在第二隔室204中。另外,第三部件830沿着鞋面102邻近鞋跟稳定器1710设置在第三隔室206中。最后,第四部件840沿着鞋背区110设置在第四隔室207中。Referring now to FIG. 17 , article 100 is shown with component 800 installed. In FIG. 17 , upper 102 and sole structure 104 are shown in phantom to provide a view of interior cavity 218 and the various compartments. It can be seen that the first component 810 is disposed in the first compartment 202 along the sole plate 250 . Additionally, a second component 820 is disposed in the second compartment 204 along the heel region 145 . Additionally, third component 830 is disposed in third compartment 206 along upper 102 adjacent heel counter 1710 . Finally, a fourth component 840 is disposed in the fourth compartment 207 along the instep region 110 .

在其它实施方案中,任何部件可以设置在物品的任何其它部分(包括鞋面和/或鞋底结构)中。在一些情况下,一些部件可以设置在物品的一个部分中,而其它部件可以设置在另一个不同的部分中。在另一个实施方案中,例如,包括具有机动化张紧设备的壳体单元的第一部件810可以设置在物品100的鞋跟附近,而第四部件840可以设置在物品100的鞋前部区105附近。一个或更多个部件的位置可以根据包括但不限于以下的各种因素选择:尺寸限制、制造限制、审美偏好、最佳设计和功能位置、相对于物品100的其它部分移除和接近的便利性以及可能的其它因素。In other embodiments, any component may be provided in any other portion of the article, including the upper and/or sole structure. In some cases, some components may be provided in one part of an article while other components may be provided in a different part. In another embodiment, for example, the first part 810 comprising a shell unit with a motorized tensioning device may be disposed near the heel of the article 100, while the fourth part 840 may be disposed in the forefoot region of the article 100. 105 near. The location of one or more components may be selected based on various factors including, but not limited to, size constraints, manufacturing constraints, aesthetic preferences, optimal design and functional location, ease of removal and access relative to other parts of article 100 gender and possibly other factors.

如参考图3-6所讨论的,内靴214和/或鞋领衬里212(或其它可移除的元件)可以相对于它们在物品100中的原始组装位置被移动。图18提供了当内靴214和鞋领衬里212被返回以重新占用内部空腔218内的位置的物品100的实施方案。换句话说,在安装期望的部件之后,物品100被配置为准备返回到用户可以穿用物品100的组装状态。此外,内靴214和/或鞋领衬里212的插入可以覆盖和/或进一步隐藏物品100的各个隔室。此外,内靴214和/或鞋领衬里212在其被放回到鞋面102中时通过对为了接近而暴露的任何区进行按压或者封闭而改善部件在物品100内的稳固或结合。As discussed with reference to FIGS. 3-6 , bootie 214 and/or collar liner 212 (or other removable elements) may be moved relative to their original assembled position in article 100 . FIG. 18 provides an embodiment of article 100 when bootie 214 and collar liner 212 are returned to reoccupy their place within interior cavity 218 . In other words, after the desired components are installed, article 100 is configured ready to return to an assembled state in which article 100 may be worn by a user. Additionally, insertion of bootie 214 and/or collar liner 212 may cover and/or further conceal various compartments of article 100 . Additionally, bootie 214 and/or collar liner 212 improve the securing or bonding of components within article 100 when they are placed back into upper 102 by compressing or closing any areas exposed for access.

一旦部件已经被安装在物品100中,则各个系统就可以被穿用者操作、享用或使用。例如,参考图19,张紧系统150可以通过部件的安装来完成和/或补充。此外,在一些实施方案中,由于物品100内的各种部件的集成,两个或更多个部件可以彼此协作地或协同地工作。例如,在一个实施方案中,当压力施加在包括第二部件820的传感器上时,可以传送信号以激活第三部件830的LED单元。因此,在行走期间,当脚跟在物品100中施加压力(向下踩踏)时,LED灯可以打开,并且/或者在脚跟抬起之后,LED灯可以关闭,或反之亦然。此外,物品100的一些区可以被配置为提供各种部件的最佳使用。在一个示例中,物品100的诸如鞋跟稳定器1710的一个或更多个区可包括光漫射(light-diffusive)、光透射、半透明的或透明的材料,以促进来自已经在物品100制造期间或之后并入的LED的光的传输。例如,参考图19,鞋跟稳定器1710可以由光漫射材料形成。因此,包括LED单元的第三部件830可以经由鞋跟稳定器1710的漫射材料发出可以为穿用者或其他人可见的光。在一些实施方案中,可以通过使用具有LED单元的各种材料来产生增强的美学设计。在另一个示例中,部件可以与张紧设备相互作用以激活或操作张紧系统150。在一个实施方案中,作为示例,穿用者可以按压第四部件840的第一按钮1610以在张紧系统150中发起打开或者完全松开的命令。Once the components have been installed in the article 100, the various systems can be operated, enjoyed or used by the wearer. For example, referring to Fig. 19, tensioning system 150 may be completed and/or supplemented by the installation of components. Furthermore, in some embodiments, due to the integration of various components within article 100, two or more components may work cooperatively or cooperatively with each other. For example, in one embodiment, when pressure is applied to the sensor comprising the second component 820, a signal may be transmitted to activate the LED unit of the third component 830. Thus, during walking, when the heel exerts pressure in the article 100 (stepping down), the LED light can be turned on, and/or after the heel is lifted, the LED light can be turned off, or vice versa. Additionally, some regions of article 100 may be configured to provide optimal use of various components. In one example, one or more regions of article 100 such as heel counter 1710 may include a light-diffusive, light-transmissive, translucent, or transparent material to facilitate Transmission of light from LEDs incorporated during or after manufacture. For example, referring to FIG. 19, heel counter 1710 may be formed from a light diffusing material. Accordingly, the third component 830 comprising the LED unit may emit light via the diffuse material of the heel counter 1710 that may be visible to the wearer or others. In some embodiments, enhanced aesthetic designs can be created by using various materials with LED units. In another example, a component may interact with a tensioning device to activate or operate tensioning system 150 . In one embodiment, as an example, the wearer may press the first button 1610 of the fourth component 840 to initiate an open or fully release command in the tensioning system 150 .

因此,在不同的实施方案中,可以制造具有配置成接纳部件的一个或更多个隔室的物品。在一个实施方案中,物品,诸如具有张紧系统的物品,可以具有在“第一阶段”制造过程之后安装的多个部件。在在单独安装过程或“第二阶段”中,如以上大致描述的,可以在整个物品100中安装一个或更多个部件。这个过程大致在图20-21的流程图中表示,图20-21表示用于制造具有自动的、电子的和/或机械的系统(例如,紧固或张紧系统)的鞋类物品的方法的两个实施方案,其中系统的部件在制造后的过程期间被安装。Thus, in various embodiments, articles may be manufactured having one or more compartments configured to receive components. In one embodiment, an article, such as an article with a tensioning system, may have components installed after the "first stage" manufacturing process. In a single installation process or "second stage," as generally described above, one or more components may be installed throughout article 100 . This process is generally represented in the flowcharts of FIGS. 20-21 , which represent methods for manufacturing an article of footwear with automatic, electronic, and/or mechanical systems (e.g., fastening or tensioning systems). Two embodiments where the components of the system are installed during the post-manufacturing process.

图20提供了两个主要步骤,包括第一步骤2010,在第一步骤2010中,使用诸如一种或更多种成行物品制作技术(in-line article making techniques)的技术来制作物品。物品还包括用于一个或更多个部件的容纳部。在第二步骤2020中,将部件(例如,用手)插入到成行物品中。应理解的是,第一步骤2010的组装过程产生鞋类物品,该鞋类物品可以具有被设定尺寸成接纳自动化系统的各种机电部件的特定容纳部。Figure 20 presents two main steps, including a first step 2010 in which an article is made using techniques such as one or more in-line article making techniques. The article also includes a receptacle for one or more components. In a second step 2020, the component is inserted (eg, by hand) into the line of items. It should be understood that the assembly process of the first step 2010 produces an article of footwear that may have specific receptacles sized to receive the various electromechanical components of the automation system.

参考图21,在一些实施方案中,第一步骤2110可以涉及开始组装或制造成行鞋类,其中该物品包括鞋底结构和鞋面。此外,在第二步骤2120中,鞋底结构可以包括用于接纳电子控制单元的专用板和/或用于接纳鞋跟传感器的凹部。在第三步骤2130中,鞋面可以包括缆线或布线,缆线或布线沿着鞋面的一侧(在内侧或外侧上)从鞋底结构穿过管道并且然后在鞋面的鞋背区上穿过另外的一系列管道来回地安排路线。在第四步骤2140中,鞋面还可以包括用于接纳LED单元的隔室以及用于接纳按钮板的隔室。然而,这些步骤中的任何一个都是可选的。Referring to FIG. 21 , in some embodiments, a first step 2110 may involve beginning assembly or manufacture of a line of footwear, wherein the article includes a sole structure and an upper. Furthermore, in a second step 2120, the sole structure may comprise a dedicated plate for receiving an electronic control unit and/or a recess for receiving a heel sensor. In a third step 2130, the upper may include cables or wires that pass through the ducts from the sole structure along one side of the upper (either on the medial or lateral side) and then over the instep area of the upper Routing back and forth through another series of pipes. In a fourth step 2140, the upper may also include a compartment for receiving the LED unit and a compartment for receiving the button board. However, any of these steps are optional.

在第五步骤2150的工厂组装物品中,在鞋面的制造中可以包括可移除的内靴或鞋舌以及可移除的鞋领衬里。换句话说,在物品制造期间,鞋领衬里、内靴和其它类型的内衬材料(即,可移除的元件)可以被缝合或以其它方式联接到鞋面上。缝合针对内衬材料的特定部分,使得当这些特定部分大致保持附接或锚固到鞋面的一部分时,这些特定部分可以容易地移除和/或重新插入。In the factory assembled article of the fifth step 2150, a removable bootie or tongue and a removable collar liner may be included in the manufacture of the upper. In other words, collar liners, booties, and other types of lining materials (ie, removable elements) may be stitched or otherwise coupled to the upper during manufacture of the article. The stitching is directed to specific portions of the lining material such that those specific portions may be easily removed and/or reinserted while generally remaining attached or anchored to a portion of the upper.

在第六步骤2160中,从该过程的第二阶段开始,拉出一些内部材料,从而露出内部隔室和/或用于接纳另外的部件的各种容纳部。换句话说,这些内衬材料的移除允许接近物品的之前被覆盖的内腔的部分。In a sixth step 2160, from the second stage of the process, some of the interior material is pulled, exposing interior compartments and/or various receptacles for receiving additional components. In other words, the removal of these lining materials allows access to previously covered portions of the interior cavity of the article.

在第七步骤2170中,将各种电子或机械部件(例如,鞋跟中的LED、鞋底结构中的鞋跟传感器、鞋背区中的按钮板、和/或鞋底板中的电子控制单元)插入到物品中。在某些情况下,可以手动插入部件。In a seventh step 2170, various electronic or mechanical components (e.g., LEDs in the heel, heel sensors in the sole structure, button boards in the instep area, and/or electronic control units in the sole plate) inserted into the item. In some cases, parts can be inserted manually.

因此,物品可以被“打开(opened up)”而不会损坏物品,并且在第一步骤2110中的制造期间已经组装在鞋的内部内的缆线或其它元件/区域可以在随后的步骤中容易地接近。一旦已经插入期望的部件,内部材料就可以在第八步骤2180中容易地重新插入,并且再次覆盖物品的暴露部分。Thus, the item can be "opened up" without damaging the item, and cables or other elements/areas that have been assembled within the interior of the shoe during manufacturing in the first step 2110 can be easily opened in subsequent steps. close. Once the desired components have been inserted, the inner material can be easily reinserted in an eighth step 2180 and again cover the exposed portion of the article.

本文描述的图20和图21的实施方案可以在一些实施方案中快速连续地且彼此接近地发生。然而,在其它实施方案中,一个或更多个步骤可以在时间和位置上间隔开地发生。换句话说,一个步骤可以在第一位置发生,而另一个步骤可以在第二位置发生,其中第一位置不同于第二位置。例如,在第一步骤2010和/或第一步骤2110中的物品制造可以非现场(例如,在工厂或制造基地处)发生,以及后续步骤的部件安装可以在不同的第二位置(在购物商店、零售店或住宅、分别的制造基地等)处进行。在另一个示例中,在第一步骤2010和/或第一步骤2110中的物品制造可以在“远程站点”(例如,州外或国外)发生,而后续步骤的部件的实际插入可发生在“本地站点”(例如,在制品或物品将被出售和/或使用的国家或州内),或者反之亦然。The embodiments of Figures 20 and 21 described herein may in some embodiments occur in rapid succession and in close proximity to each other. However, in other embodiments, one or more steps may occur spaced apart in time and location. In other words, one step can take place at a first location and another step can take place at a second location, where the first location is different from the second location. For example, the manufacture of the article in the first step 2010 and/or the first step 2110 may occur off-site (e.g., at a factory or manufacturing base), and the assembly of the components for subsequent steps may be at a second, different location (at a shopping store , retail stores or residences, separate manufacturing bases, etc.).
