摘要：
An upper for a sports shoe may include a component such as a vamp or a rear portion. The shoe component may include a UV curable microlattice structure with a plurality of regions such that each region has a different density. In some cases, the microlattice structure may include a high density microlattice structure, a mid-level density microlattice structure, and a non-structural region with a low density microlattice structure.
技术问题语段：
The technical problem addressed in this patent text is the need for a method to create shoe components, such as the upper, tongue, vamp, quarters, and closure systems, using lattice microstructures that are strong, durable, flexible, and breathable. The current methods of creating 3D microstructures are not efficient or cost-effective, and there is no suggestion or description of incorporating lattice microstructures into other shoe components, such as the closure systems. The use of UV curable monomers with varying strength, flexibility, and permeability in targeted regions of the structure would allow for the creation of customizable, efficient, and effective shoe components.
技术功效语段：
The present invention is about a shoe with an upper that has different regions with different densities. The upper can be made using a microlattice structure that is cured with ultraviolet light. The regions can include an eye stay region, a structural panel, and a non-structural region. The non-structural region can have a lower density than the eye stay region and the structural panel. The vamp can also have a transition between the microlattice structure and a second material. The different regions can have different colors or patterns created by additives impregnated into them. The method of forming the upper involves pouring resin into a chamber, passing ultraviolet light through a mask, and post curing the upper. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a shoe with an upper that has different regions with different densities, which can enhance the shoe's stability, comfort, and design.
权利要求：
1. An upper (18) for a sports shoe (28), the upper comprising: a vamp (22) comprising a UV curable microlattice structure (10,12) comprising a plurality of regions such that each region (14,16) comprises a different density.
2. The upper of claim 1, wherein the plurality of regions comprises at least two of an eye stay region, a structural panel, and a non-structural region.
3. The upper of claim 1, wherein the plurality of regions comprises an eye stay region, a structural panel, and a non-structural region.
4. The upper of claim 2 or 3, wherein the eye stay region comprises a high density microlattice structure, the structural panel comprises a mid-level density microlattice structure, and the non- structural region comprises a low density microlattice structure.
5. The upper of claim 3 or 4, wherein: the structural panel is disposed between the eye stay region and the bottom of the vamp; and the non-structural region is disposed adjacent to the structural panel.
6. An upper for a sports shoe, the upper comprising: a rear portion comprising a UV curable microlattice structure comprising a plurality of regions such that each region comprises a different density.
7. The upper of claim 6, wherein the plurality of regions comprises at least two of a collar, a heel counter, and a padding region.
8. The upper of claim 6 or 7, wherein the plurality of regions comprises a collar, a heel counter, and a padding region.
9. The upper of claim 8, wherein the heel counter comprises a high density microlattice structure, the collar comprises a mid-level density microlattice structure, and the padding region comprises a low density microlattice structure.
10. The upper of one of claims 6 - 9, wherein the rear portion comprises a transition between the UV curable microlattice structure and a second material.
11. A method of forming an upper of a microlattice structure for a shoe, the method comprising: pouring resin into a chamber; passing ultraviolet light through a mask into the resin along light paths defined by the mask to create an upper with portions of at least two different densities; disassembling the upper in a green state from the chamber; and post curing the upper into a final shape outside of the chamber.
12. The method of claim 11, further comprising mapping and designing various components of the upper and designing the mask based on the upper.
13. The method of claim 11 or 12, wherein the post curing comprises using a mold to define a permanent shape for the upper.
14. The method of one of claims 11 - 13, further comprising forming a transition between the microlattice structure and a second material.
15. The method of claim 14, wherein the second material is selected from the group consisting of knits, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, leather, and synthetic leather.
