Abstract
Disclosed is a support and buffer structure for shoe body, wherein an arcuate hollow rubber portion is attached on the top surface of a sole plate. A balance seat in form of a curved larger area is attached in turn on the top surface of the rubber portion so that an applied body weight can be uniformly distributed over the balance seat and supported and buffered by the rubber portion to achieve the purpose of shock absorption, comfortableness and stability when wearing it.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to a support and buffer structure of shoe body, and specifically, it relates to a hollow structure capable of supporting, buffering, and shock absorbing.
- 2. The Prior Arts
- It is noticed that some diseases regarding bones or joints, such as backache of joint retardation, are incurred by improper sports impacts. To take a run by bare feet for instance, some harmful oscillation waves are produced from bottom to top of a human body to impose an overlarge load to people's bones or joints, which is considered today very bad to a human skeleton.
- For improvement, a support and buffer structure for shoe body of the present invention is undoubtedly one of the preferred options for preventing sports harm.
- The primary object of the present invention is to provide a support and buffer structure for shoe body, in which a shock-absorption composition is formed at a rear segment of shoe body for supporting and buffering a gravity applied by means of an arcuate rubber portion.
- In order to realize above-mentioned object, an arcuate hollow rubber portion is attached on the top surface of a sole plate. A balance seat in form of a curved larger area is attached in turn on the top surface of the rubber portion so that an applied body weight can be uniformly distributed over the balance seat and supported and buffered by the rubber portion to achieve the purpose of shock absorption, and also comfortableness as well as stability.
- For more detailed information regarding advantages or features of the present invention, at least one example of preferred embodiment will be described below with reference to the annexed drawings.
- The related drawings in connection with the detailed description of the present invention to be made later are described briefly as follows, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a side view of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is an exploded structural side view of the present invention; -
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line A-A ofFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 4 is a side view of the present invention applied to a shoe body. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , a support and buffer structure in accordance with the present invention comprises asole plate 1, arubber portion 2, and abalance seat 3, and is arranged in the heel portion for making use of its shock-absorption ability. - The
sole plate 1, which is the lowest layer of shoe, is configured to try matching with human sole. In doing so, the present invention is provided to the rear segment of thesole plate 1 with therubber portion 2. Therubber portion 2 is an arcuate hollow structure having aspace 21 in the middle portion thereof for communicating with the outside world, in which a relatively thinner portion above the central portion of therubber portion 2 is extended forward and backward and from top to bottom to form a gradually thickened front andrear support portion rubber portion 2 is attached exactly on the surface of thesole plate 1 to thereby achieve the purpose of buffering, shock absorbing, and support strength enhancing. Thebalance seat 3 is a curved structure with large area having a local front end attached to the top surface ofsole plate 1, and the rest large portion thereof is attached intimately to the top surface of therubber portion 2 such that therubber portion 2 is covered below. Besides, both sides of thebalance seat 3 are arcuate protruding sides (as illustrated inFIG. 3 ) meant to match with the edge and arch of a human sole such that a person's weight can be uniformly distributed and transmitted to therubber portion 2 below. Also, astable balance seat 3 is considered instrumental to promote stability of movements. - In addition to shock-absorption function, the
rubber portion 2, which may be constructed with a thermoplastic or thermo-foaming material, has to be strong enough to bear a person's weight, in which the thermoplastic material may include, but not limited to, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), thermoplastic rubber (TPR), and Nylon and the thermo-foaming material may include, but not limited to, polyurethane (PU), and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA). -
FIG. 4 is a side view of the present invention applied to a shoe body. Avamp 4 is defined above the support and buffer structure of the present invention. The present invention is constructed by defining an arcuatehollow rubber portion 2 at a rear segment of sole in the shoe body to function for support and buffer; and abalance seat 3 on the rubber portion for distributing the momentum of human weight, which is rebounded by therubber portion 2, in which the relatively thinner portion of therubber portion 2 is designed to serve for a preliminary buffer stage while a front and arear support portion - In the above described, at least one preferred embodiment has been described in detail with reference to the drawings annexed, and it is apparent that numerous changes or modifications may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope thereof, as set forth in the claims below.
