Described are methods for the manufacture of sporting goods, in particular a shoe, sporting goods manufactured by such methods, for example a shoe, as well as a device for performing such methods. The method for the manufacture of sporting goods, in particular a shoe, is provided, wherein the sporting goods has a first component with a first connection surface and a second component with a second connection surface. The method includes activating at least one portion of the first connection surface by providing heat energy without contact, and connecting the first component with the second component by joining the first connection surface and the second connection surface.

Device for the manufacture of sporting goods

A method for generating a pattern of indentations in a surface of a thermoplastic textile includes processing the thermoplastic textile with a mold comprising at least one subunit adapted to create at least one subpattern of the pattern, wherein the at least one subunit is at least one of exchangeable or reconfigurable; fusing at least one indentation of the pattern of indentations into the thermoplastic textile by applying heat and pressure; and exchanging the at least one subunit with a second at least one subunit or reconfiguring a spatial arrangement of a footprint of the at least one subunit within the mold from a first spatial arrangement to a second spatial arrangement, wherein a footprint of the at least one subunit is different than a footprint of the second at least one subunit.

Processing a thermoplastic textile

A method for the manufacture of a sports article, in particular a sport shoe, can include the operations of: (a) providing at least one laminar component; (b) providing at least one three-dimensional object; and (c) placing the component onto the object by means of a first roll while simultaneously moving the object relative to the roll.

Method for placing of components

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.

Pattern element used for interconnecting components of a sporting good

Described are shoe uppers for a sports shoe with a first layer with a first surface and an opposing second surface, a first yarn section with a first diameter, wherein the first yarn section is arranged on the first surface of the first layer, and a second yarn section with a second diameter, wherein the second yarn section is arranged on the first surface of the first layer. The first yarn section and the second yarn section have at least one parallel portion in which the first yarn section is substantially parallel to the second yarn section, and wherein a distance between the first yarn section and the second yarn section is smaller than a larger value of the first diameter and the second diameter.

Sporting goods and methods for interconnecting components of a sporting good

A sole for a shoe, such as a sports shoe, includes a plurality of essentially jointly extruded plastic strands. A method for the manufacture of a sole for a shoe includes essentially jointly extruding a plurality of plastic strands and connecting the plurality of extruded plastic strands.

Sole for a shoe and method for its manufacture

Method and device for the manufacture of sporting goods and sporting goods manufactured thereby

The present invention refers to a method for the manufacture of sporting goods, in particular shoes, comprising the steps of providing a plurality of components in one of a plurality of predefined shapes, and placing the plurality of components onto a two-dimensional or three-dimensional carrier surface to create the sporting good or a part thereof.
