Karl Mayer develops shoe fabric

摘要

Karl Mayer has developed a fabric for shoes produced on its TM 4-EL machine. The shoe is said to be light and comfortable to wear and also stable and breathable. The textile used in the shaft is largely responsible for its functional characteristics. Long John Tsung Right Industrial Co Ltd, a Taiwanese company, manufactured the shoe. Long John's part in the cooperative venture was to use the double-layered fabric supplied by Karl Mayer to produce a continuous shaft with a clean profile, without using any reinforcing elements. The TM 4-EL has a variety of features that enable it to produce different patterns, said Karl Mayer. One of the patterns developed has an attractive, continuous filet construction featuring segments with different pore sizes. The differently sized holes were produced by interaction of two ground guide bars with a filet drawing-in arrangement and EL control.
