Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
A sport shoe comprising a shoe sole and a shoe upper composed of natural or artificial leather, said shoe sole being an integral laminate of an insert material layer the lower surface of which is bonded to an injection-molded synthetic resin layer to form said integral laminate, said synthetic resin being selected from the group consisting of nylon-11 and nylon-12, said insert material layer being made of a material which has a good bondability to the shoe upper and which does not undergo thermal deformation at the injection-molding temperature and pressure, said material being selected from the group consisting of natural leather, artificial leather, rubber, nonwoven fabric, felts and fibers, the upper surface of said insert material layer being bonded to the lower portion and insole of said shoe upper by an adhesive, said shoe sole having been prepared by placing into an injection mold a preformed insert material layer and then injection-molding said synthetic resin into said mold to form a monolithic synthetic resin layer and to heat-bond the lower surface of the insert material layer to the upper surface of the synthetic resin layer formed by the injection-molding.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
190 words
A sport shoe comprising a shoe sole and a shoe upper composed of natural or artificial leather, said shoe sole being an integral laminate of an insert material layer the lower surface of which is bonded to an injection-molded synthetic resin layer to form said integral laminate, said synthetic resin being selected from the group consisting of nylon-11 and nylon-12, said insert material layer being made of a material which has a good bondability to the shoe upper and which does not undergo thermal deformation at the injection-molding temperature and pressure, said material being selected from the group consisting of natural leather, artificial leather, rubber, nonwoven fabric, felts and fibers, the upper surface of said insert material layer being bonded to the lower portion and insole of said shoe upper by an adhesive, said shoe sole having been prepared by placing into an injection mold a preformed insert material layer and then injection-molding said synthetic resin into said mold to form a monolithic synthetic resin layer and to heat-bond the lower surface of the insert material layer to the upper surface of the synthetic resin layer formed by the injection-molding.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A sport shoe according to claim 1 in which said insert material layer is directly bonded to said synthetic resin layer without the use of a separately applied adhesive.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
53 words
A sport shoe according to claim 1 in which the lower surface of said insert material 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 together said insert material layer and said synthetic resin layer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
A sport shoe according to claim 3 in which 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 6
Dependent Claim
174 words
A sport shoe sole comprising an insert material layer made of a material having a good bondability to a shoe upper composed of natural or artificial leather and which does not undergo thermal deformation at an injection-molding temperature and pressure, said material being made of a material selected from the group consisting of natural leather, artificial leather, rubber, nonwoven fabric, felts and fibers, and an injection-molded synthetic resin layer united to one surface of said insert material layer and integral therewith, said synthetic resin being selected from the group consisting of nylon-11 or nylon-12, said sport shoe sole having been prepared by bonding a film of hot-melt adhesive to said one surface of said insert material layer, inserting said insert material layer in an injection mold and injection said synthetic resin, in a molten state, onto said one surface of said insert material layer to form a monolithic injection-molded synthetic resin layer and to completely heat-bond said insert material layer to said synthetic resin layer formed by injection-molding through said film of hot-melt adhesive.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
174 words
A sport shoe sole comprising an insert material layer made of a material having a good bondability to a shoe upper composed of natural or artificial leather and which does not undergo thermal deformation at an injection-molding temperature and pressure, said material being made of a material selected from the group consisting of natural leather, artificial leather, rubber, nonwoven fabric, felts and fibers, and an injection-molded synthetic resin layer united to one surface of said insert material layer and integral therewith, said synthetic resin being selected from the group consisting of nylon-11 or nylon-12, said sport shoe sole having been prepared by bonding a film of hot-melt adhesive to said one surface of said insert material layer, inserting said insert material layer in an injection mold and injection said synthetic resin, in a molten state, onto said one surface of said insert material layer to form a monolithic injection-molded synthetic resin layer and to completely heat-bond said insert material layer to said synthetic resin layer formed by injection-molding through said film of hot-melt adhesive.
