The present invention relates generally to footwear, and more particularly to a flocked footwear.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe conventional footwear some have flocked portion thereon, but there are some limits for some kind of footwear, cause cannot applied flocking on some area of the footwear.
For example, the footwear of integrated of a bottom and an upper, which formed a covering portion by each other thereon and cannot be flocked by electro static; further, the flocks usually are wool, leather or fuzz, but cannot applied to another materials; moreover, conventional upper is flocked before cutting or forming, and result waste of flock material and flocking cost.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIt is the primary objective of the present invention to provide a flocked footwear which can be flocked on a covering portion of the bottom or upper.
It is another objective of the present invention to provide a flocked footwear with multiple and different flocks and providing versatile and convenient.
It is still another objective of the present invention to provide a flocked footwear which being flocked after cutted or formed, reduce the waste of flocks and stocks.
In keeping with the principle of the present invention, the foregoing objectives of the present invention, a flocked footwear comprises a bottom; an upper mounted on a top side of the bottom, and forming a foot receiving room for receiving foot; wherein the upper forming a covering portion and the bottom forming a covering portion covered relatively; a flocked block flocked on the covering portion of the bottom and the covering portion of the upper; in other way, the flocked block has flocks flocked on a portion of the bottom or a portion of the upper, the flocks is selected from the group of leather, hair, cork, plant, plastic, textile, metal, ballast, glass, shuck, and coral; still another way, the flocked block flocked on a portion selected from the group of an upper, mid-sole, and heel; and which is flocked after the cutting or forming of the upper but before mounted on the bottom.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
As shown in
A bottom 10 of a foot shape with a predetermined thickness, the bottom 10 has a block body 11, a down face 13, a top face 14, and a side face 17.
