An aspect of the present invention relates to a mold insert for use in a mold for the manufacture of a cushioning element for sports apparel. Further aspects of the present invention relate to a mold using such a mold insert, a method for the manufacture of a cushioning element for sports apparel using such a mold, and a cushioning element manufactured by such a method.

Mold insert for use in a mold for the manufacture of a cushioning element for sports apparel

The present invention provides a method for recycling a shoe (), the shoe () comprising various components made from the same material class with varying densities, the method comprises milling () the shoe () to obtain a plurality of particles (), the particles () having different material densities, mixing () the particles, applying heat () to the mixed particles () to obtain a melt of molten particles and extruding () the melt.

Recycling of a shoe

Described are methods for the manufacture of a plastic component, in particular a cushioning element for sports apparel, a plastic component manufactured with such a method, for example a sole or a part of a sole for a shoe, and a shoe with such a sole. According to an aspect of the invention, a method for the manufacture of a plastic component, in particular a cushioning element for sports apparel, is provided which includes loading a mold with a first material which includes particles of an expanded material, and, during loading the mold, pre-heating the particles by supplying energy, wherein the energy is supplied in the form of at least one electromagnetic field.

Footwear

The present invention relates to an enhanced method for the manufacture of a plastic component (), in particular a cushioning element for sports apparel, the method comprising: opening a mold () by a predetermined amount into a loading position, wherein the mold comprises at least two mold parts () and wherein the amount by which the mold is opened influences an available loading volume of the mold, loading a material comprising expanded particles () into the loading volume, closing the mold into a closed position, wherein during closing of the mold the mold parts are moved together over different distances () in different areas of the mold, compressing the expanded particles by closing the mold and fusing at least the surfaces of the expanded particles to mold the plastic component.

Method for the manufacture of a plastic component, plastic component, midsole and shoe

The present invention relates to a method for interconnecting components of a sporting good, in particular a sports shoe, and a sports shoe manufactured with such a method. The method may include (a.) forming a pattern element having at least one removable at least partially non-transparent or non-reflective portion, (b.) irradiating at least one of the first and the second component via the pattern element with heat radiation and (c.) interconnecting the irradiated first and second component.
