- As shown in FIGS.1-4, a shoe embodied in the present invention has an elastic heel and comprises the following components.
- A sole10 has a
shank portion 11, anupper heel portion 13 and alower heel portion 15 attached to theupper heel portion 13. The rear end of the sole 10 is separated to enable theupper heel portion 13 and thelower heel portion 15 to be of L-shaped construction such that a space is formed therebetween. Theupper heel portion 13 and thelower heel portion 15 are provided in opposite inner sides with arecessed portion 17. - An
elastic member 30 is a spring steel piece having L shape, a pressedportion 31, anelastic bending portion 33, and abottom support portion 35. Theelastic member 30 is disposed in the recessedportion 17. The spring steel piece is made by punching and pressing in conjunction with heat treatment. The spring steel piece has a predetermined spring force. - A covering
member 50 is similar in shape to the rear portion of the sole 10 and is adhered to theupper heel portion 13, thelower heel portion 15, and the outer surface of theelastic member 30. - An upper70 is located over the sole 10 such that the upper 70 covers the sole 10.
- As shown in FIG. 5, the
upper heel portion 13 is exerted on by most of body weight of a shoe wearer via the heel 8. As a result, the pressedportion 31 is slightly deformed in relation to theelastic bending portion 33. In other words, the pressedportion 31 is caused to displace in relation to thebottom support portion 35, thereby providing a sufficient spring force support force and up-and-down elastic motion according to the magnitude of force exerting thereon. As a result, the foot-soothing effect is brought about. The excitement of brain and body is thus alleviated. - As shown in FIG. 6, the shoe is similar in form to the preceding embodiment, with the exception being that its rear portion is of a C-shaped construction, thereby resulting in formation of an
upper press portion 81 and alower press portion 83, which are separated by an interval H. The excessive weight of a person forces theupper press portion 81 to go down to reach thelower press portion 83. Accordingly, this trial can be used to determine if the shoe is suitable for the person. - As shown in FIG. 7, the shoe does not comprise the covering
member 50 of the preceding embodiment, thereby enabling the elasticcurved piece 30 to be visible. As shown in FIG. 8, theelastic member 30A is of an S-shaped construction. Theelastic piece 30B may be of an O-shaped construction, as shown in FIG. 9. - In this embodiment, the elastic member may be made of an
elastic steel bar 60 by bending. Theelastic steel bar 60 is enclosed in the sole which is made of a rubber material, as shown in FIG. 10. A carryingmember 66 may be provided along with the elastic member which has symmetrical left side and right side. For a person of lightweight, the shoe may be provided with single steel bar, as shown in FIG. 12. The steel piece elastic member of the preceding embodiment may be completely enclosed by this mode. - As shown in FIGS.13-17, a shoe of another preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a sole 1OA, a
heel 20, and an upper 70A. The sole lOA is not confined to be of any specific shape and is provided in the rear portion thereof with afixation member 13A which is in turn provided with a plurality offixation holes 15A. Thescrews 19 are fastened onto theheel 20 via the fixation holes 15A. - The
heel 20 is of an S-shaped construction and is provided with anelastic member 30A, a coveringmember 40, and abottom plate 50A. - The
elastic member 30A is made of steel piece by bending and is provided at one end with afastening portion 31A having a plurality of threadedholes 32A, anelastic bending portion 33A, and abottom support portion 35A, and awarp end 37A. - The covering
member 40 is a flat straight plate of a predetermined thickness and is made of EVA. The coveringmember 40 is provided with a recessedportion 43 for receiving one side of theelastic member 30A. - The
bottom plate 50A covers other side of theelastic member 30A opposite to the coveringmember 40. Thebottom plate 50A is made of rubber or other materials and is in contact with the ground surface. - In light of the
warp end 37A of theelastic member 30A, the tail end of the bottom of theheel 20 is provided with asafety portion 25 preventing theheel 20 from catching an article which may cause a shoe wearer to trip or fall. - The elastic member of this embodiment may be made of steel bar by bending. The heel is fused with the sole by various forms, such as adhesive fusion.
- The present invention may be provided with only the
elastic member 30A, as shown in FIG. 18. Theelastic member 30A is provided in one side with only onebottom plate 50A without the covering member, as shown in FIG. 19. The elastic member may be provided with onebottom plate 50B corresponding to the ground surface, as shown in FIG. 20. - The shapes of the heel of the present invention are not limited to those which were described in the preceding embodiments. The heel20B has a C shape, as shown in FIG. 21. The heel 20B is fastened with the sole by bolts which are put through the elastic member to engage the threaded holes of the fixation piece of the sole.
- As shown in FIG. 22, the
heel 20C has a shape similar to the symbol of algebraic sum. Theheel 20D has a round frame shape, as shown in FIG. 23. Theheel 20E has a flat round frame shape, as shown in FIG. 24. These heels are capable of absorbing shock. - The present invention has advantages. In the first place, the shoe of the present invention has an elastic heel which is provided with the elastic member capable of soothing the foot. In addition, the elastic heel of the present invention is versatile in design. The versatile design of the elastic heel of the shoe of the present invention is enhanced by the elastic member as well as covering members of various designs.
- The embodiments of the present invention described above are to be regarded in all respects as being merely illustrative and not restrictive. Accordingly, the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without deviating from the spirit thereof. The present invention is therefore to be limited only by the scopes of the following claims.
