Figure 2 shows a first preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention comprising: a) a heel assembly (1) which is the rotating element - and comprising a heel of shoe (12). The shoe heel is the bottom section on the back of the shoe that initially makes contact with the floor in the process of taking a step. The shoe heel can be a separate piece attached to the heel assembly (1) or be a single piece with the heel assembly (1). The rotation process of the heel assembly (1) is damped by one or more elastic elements; wherein the elastic elements can be for example: springs, springs, rubber, gels, polymer parts, encapsulated air, elastic materials, or combination thereof; b) a shoe assembly (2) that is the element that comprises most of the shoe, which houses the user's foot and that includes a sole (23), the sole (23) is the part of the shoe assembly (2) that makes contact with the floor when walking; and c) an axis assembly (3), said axis assembly (3) may be composed of one or more elements.
El conjunto eje (3) de la presente invención debe cumplir las funciones características de:  The shaft assembly (3) of the present invention must fulfill the characteristic functions of:
• proporcionar el eje de giro entre el conjunto tacón (1) y el conjunto zapato (2);  • provide the axis of rotation between the heel assembly (1) and the shoe assembly (2);
• mantener el ensamble entre el conjunto tacón (1) y el conjunto zapato (2); y  • keep the assembly between the heel assembly (1) and the shoe assembly (2); Y
• permitir el giro del conjunto tacón (1) con respecto al conjunto zapato (2) .  • allow the heel assembly (1) to rotate with respect to the shoe assembly (2).
El conjunto eje (3) puede ser uno cualquiera de: un perno, un remache, un tornillo, un elemento de fijación, o cualquier otro elemento que satisfaga las funciones características antes señaladas.  The shaft assembly (3) can be any one of: a bolt, a rivet, a screw, a fixing element, or any other element that satisfies the characteristic functions indicated above.
El conjunto eje (3) se encuentra en el zapato preferentemente hacia el frente y hacia arriba con respecto al tacón (12) y por encima del nivel de la suela (23) . The shaft assembly (3) is in the shoe preferably towards the front and upwards with respect to the heel (12) and above the level of the sole (23).
El conjunto eje (3) tiene una posición aproximadamente perpendicular con respecto al eje longitudinal del zapato, la posición de dicho conjunto eje (3) puede variar en un ángulo desde 0° hasta ±40° con respecto al eje longitudinal del zapato. El eje longitudinal del zapato se extiende desde el extremo posterior (en el tacón) del zapato hasta el extremo frontal (de la suela) del zapato .  The shaft assembly (3) has an approximately perpendicular position with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shoe, the position of said axis assembly (3) can vary at an angle from 0 ° to ± 40 ° with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shoe. The longitudinal axis of the shoe extends from the rear end (on the heel) of the shoe to the front end (of the sole) of the shoe.
La Figura 3 muestra el acoplamiento de los siguientes elementos: el conjunto tacón (1), el conjunto zapato (2), el conjunto eje (3), asi como el elemento elástico (4); en donde a modo de ejemplo, pero sin estar limitado a, el elemento elástico es un resorte.  Figure 3 shows the coupling of the following elements: the heel assembly (1), the shoe assembly (2), the shaft assembly (3), as well as the elastic element (4); where by way of example, but not limited to, the elastic element is a spring.
La Figura 17 muestra un corte en la parte inferior del zapato en donde se muestra el ensamble del conjunto tacón (1) con el conjunto zapato (2), en donde el conjunto eje (3) se forma, a manera de ejemplo, por un remache (33) y por dos arandelas (34) y (35).  Figure 17 shows a cut in the lower part of the shoe where the assembly of the heel assembly (1) with the shoe assembly (2) is shown, where the shaft assembly (3) is formed, by way of example, by a rivet (33) and by two washers (34) and (35).
Un ejemplo de conjunto eje (3) es el mostrado en la Figura 18 en donde el conjunto eje (3) es una bisagra (36). La bisagra se forma por dos secciones y un perno que proporciona el eje de giro (37); una de las secciones se une al conjunto tacón (1) y la otra sección se une al conjunto zapato (2). La unión de las secciones puede realizarse por diversos métodos como pegado, soldado, atornillado o similares o combinación de dos o más de los anteriores.  An example of a shaft assembly (3) is shown in Figure 18 where the shaft assembly (3) is a hinge (36). The hinge is formed by two sections and a bolt that provides the axis of rotation (37); one of the sections joins the heel set (1) and the other section joins the shoe set (2). The joining of the sections can be carried out by various methods such as bonding, welding, screwing or the like or combination of two or more of the above.
Con referencia a la Figura 15, se muestra el conjunto tacón (1) en forma detallada, en donde el agujero donde se encuentra el eje de giro comprende un inserto (30) de material resistente a la fricción para mayor duración del zapato. El mismo tipo de inserto puede estar presente en el conjunto zapato (2) para proporcionar mayor durabilidad al zapato. En forma alternativa, se puede utilizar un rodamiento de cualquier tipo. With reference to Figure 15, the Heel assembly (1) in detail, where the hole where the axis of rotation is located comprises an insert (30) of friction resistant material for longer shoe life. The same type of insert may be present in the shoe assembly (2) to provide greater durability to the shoe. Alternatively, a bearing of any type can be used.
Con referencia a la Figura 16, se muestra un corte de la parte inferior del zapato en donde se observan anillos de material elástico (31) y (32) tipo "O" rings que se encuentran en el ensamble del conjunto tacón (1) y del conjunto zapato (2). Dichos anillos tienen la función de sellar el ensamble para evitar que entren elementos externos al ensamble como tierra, polvo, etc., con el fin de mantener el buen funcionamiento del producto.  With reference to Figure 16, a section of the bottom of the shoe is shown showing rings of elastic material (31) and (32) type "O" rings found in the assembly of the heel assembly (1) and of the shoe set (2). These rings have the function of sealing the assembly to prevent external elements from entering the assembly such as dirt, dust, etc., in order to maintain the proper functioning of the product.
En una variante, el conjunto tacón se compone por dos o más elementos independientes y tiene dos o más ejes de giro, en donde una de las piezas que conforman los ejes de giro acopla a uno de los elementos que conforma el conjunto tacón con el conjunto zapato y los otros elementos que conforman el conjunto tacón se acoplan uno con el otro a través de una de las piezas que conforma los ejes de giro; adicionalmente cada elemento del conjunto tacón podrá tener su propio elemento elástico. Además, no todos los elementos anteriores contienen un tacón o hacen contacto con el piso. La Figura 14 muestra, a manera de ejemplo, el conjunto tacón compuesto por dos partes separadas (26)" y (27) acopladas por las piezas que conforman los dos ejes de giro (28) y (29) . In a variant, the heel assembly is composed of two or more independent elements and has two or more turning axes, where one of the pieces that make up the turning axes couples one of the elements that make up the heel set with the set shoe and the other elements that make up the heel set are coupled with each other through one of the pieces that make up the pivot axes; Additionally, each element of the heel assembly may have its own elastic element. In addition, not all of the above elements contain a heel or make contact with the floor. Figure 14 shows, by way of example, the heel assembly consisting of two separate parts (26) " and (27) coupled by the pieces that make up the two axes of rotation (28) and (29).
Una variante para la colocación del ensamble del conjunto eje (3), es que el conjunto zapato (2) se compone por dos elementos independientes (43) y (16), tal como se exhiben en la Figura 31. La Figura 28 muestra el elemento principal (43) el cual comprende dos cavidades (44), exhibida solo una, con una forma tal que alojan parcialmente al conjunto eje (3) y una cavidad (17) que aloja parcialmente al conjunto tacón (1) . La Figura 29 muestra el otro elemento que conforma el conjunto zapato (2) la cual es una cubierta (16) que cuenta con dos cavidades (42) que alojan parcialmente al conjunto eje (3), y que dependiendo de su forma pueden o no alojar parcialmente al conjunto tacón (1); la Figura 32 muestra la forma para el caso de no alojar parte del conjunto tacón y la Figura 33 muestra la cubierta (45) que corresponde a una cubierta (16) cuando aloja parcialmente el conjunto tacón (1) . A variant for the assembly of the shaft assembly (3), is that the shoe assembly (2) is composed of two independent elements (43) and (16), as shown in Figure 31. Figure 28 shows the main element (43) which comprises two cavities (44), exhibited only one, with a shape that partially accommodates the shaft assembly (3) and a cavity (17) that partially houses the heel assembly (1). Figure 29 shows the other element that makes up the shoe assembly (2) which is a cover (16) that has two cavities (42) that partially house the shaft assembly (3), and that depending on its shape may or may not partially accommodate the heel assembly (1); Figure 32 shows the form for the case of not accommodating part of the heel assembly and Figure 33 shows the cover (45) corresponding to a cover (16) when it partially houses the heel assembly (1).
En el proceso de ensamble, la cubierta (16) se une con el elemento principal (43), en dicha unión las cavidades (44) y (42) alojan parcialmente al conjunto eje (3) ensamblado con el conjunto tacón (1) y además ésta unión permite que el conjunto tacón (1) gire. De ésta manera el conjunto eje (3) queda colocado en su posición en el acoplamiento del conjunto tacón (1) con el conjunto zapato (2), tal como se exhibe en la Figura 30.  In the assembly process, the cover (16) joins the main element (43), in said joint the cavities (44) and (42) partially house the shaft assembly (3) assembled with the heel assembly (1) and This joint also allows the heel assembly (1) to rotate. In this way the shaft assembly (3) is placed in position in the coupling of the heel assembly (1) with the shoe assembly (2), as shown in Figure 30.
La unión de la cubierta (16) con el elemento (43) puede hacerse por medios químicos como adhesivos, o por medios de un proceso de soldado, o por el uso de ultrasonido, o por medios mecánicos como tornillos, remaches, pernos, etc., o por la geometría de las piezas que al ensamblarse lo hacen de tal manera que fijan su posición, o por cualquier combinación de las anteriores. The connection of the cover (16) with the element (43) can be done by chemical means such as adhesives, or by means of a welding process, or by the use of ultrasound, or by mechanical means such as screws, rivets, bolts, etc. ., or by the geometry of the pieces that when assembled they do it in such a way that they fix their position, or by any combination of the above.
La Figura 4 muestra el inicio del proceso de caminar al dar un paso y muestra como se apoya el tacón (12) en el piso (7), el conjunto tacón (1) gira; en donde el desplazamiento angular del conjunto tacón (1) es en la dirección de la flecha (5) . Dicho giro del conjunto tacón ocasiona que el elemento elástico se comprima ejerciendo una fuerza opuesta a la dirección de la flecha (5) y asi se amortigua el impacto del tacón con el piso.  Figure 4 shows the beginning of the walking process by taking a step and shows how the heel (12) rests on the floor (7), the heel assembly (1) rotates; where the angular displacement of the heel assembly (1) is in the direction of the arrow (5). Said rotation of the heel assembly causes the elastic element to be compressed by exerting a force opposite to the direction of the arrow (5) and thus the impact of the heel with the floor is cushioned.
La Figura 5 muestra una etapa posterior a la etapa exhibida en la Figura 4 en el proceso de dar un paso al caminar, en esta etapa se libera la presión sobre el tacón (12) y el elemento elástico se descomprime haciendo que el conjunto tacón (1) gire con un desplazamiento angular en la dirección que se indica con la flecha (6), de esta forma el conjunto tacón (1) regresa a su posición original.  Figure 5 shows a post-stage stage shown in Figure 4 in the process of taking a step while walking, at this stage the pressure on the heel (12) is released and the elastic element is decompressed causing the heel assembly ( 1) turn with an angular displacement in the direction indicated by the arrow (6), in this way the heel assembly (1) returns to its original position.
El conjunto tacón (1) tiene limites en sus dos direcciones de giro. Estos limites se establecen cuando existe contacto de manera directa o indirecta del conjunto tacón (1) con el conjunto zapato (2), y que detiene el movimiento de giro del conjunto de tacón (1) . Las superficies de contacto que limitan el movimiento de giro del conjunto tacón (1) son diferentes para cada dirección de giro. La Figura 8 muestra, a manera de ejemplo y sin limitarse a las únicas posibles, las superficies de contacto (14A y 14B) en una de las .direcciones de giro y la Figura 9 muestra, a manera de ejemplo y sin limitarse a las únicas posibles, las superficies de contacto (15A y 15B) en la otra dirección de giro . En una variante de los limites de giro, el conjunto tacón (1) tiene limite en una de sus dos direcciones de giro. Este limite se establece cuando hay contacto de manera directa o indirecta del conjunto tacón (1) con el conjunto zapato (2) y se detiene el movimiento de giro del conjunto tacón (1) en una de las dos direcciones. En la otra dirección, el giro del conjunto tacón (1) no tiene un limite de giro establecido; el desplazamiento angular del conjunto tacón (1) se determina por la fuerza ejercida sobre el tacón por el peso del usuario y la resistencia del elemento elástico al ser sometido a la fuerza antes mencionada, por lo cual el desplazamiento angular del conjunto tacón (1) es variable . The heel assembly (1) has limits in its two directions of rotation. These limits are established when there is direct or indirect contact of the heel assembly (1) with the shoe assembly (2), and that stops the turning movement of the heel assembly (1). The contact surfaces that limit the rotation movement of the heel assembly (1) are different for each direction of rotation. Figure 8 shows, by way of example and without being limited to the only possible ones, the contact surfaces (14A and 14B) in one of the turning directions and Figure 9 shows, by way of example and not limited to the only ones. possible, the contact surfaces (15A and 15B) in the other direction of rotation. In a variant of the turning limits, the heel assembly (1) has a limit in one of its two turning directions. This limit is established when there is direct or indirect contact of the heel assembly (1) with the shoe assembly (2) and the rotation movement of the heel assembly (1) in one of the two directions is stopped. In the other direction, the rotation of the heel assembly (1) does not have an established turning limit; The angular displacement of the heel assembly (1) is determined by the force exerted on the heel by the weight of the user and the resistance of the elastic element when subjected to the aforementioned force, whereby the angular displacement of the heel assembly (1) It is variable .
Las superficies de contacto entre el conjunto tacón (1) y el conjunto zapato (2) que limitan el giro del conjunto tacón (1) pueden tener una forma tal que al acoplarse lo pueden hacer en uno o más planos, de tal manera que al acoplarse las superficies de contacto del conjunto zapato (2) y las superficies de contacto del conjunto tacón (1) se logra un efecto de mayor estabilidad en el zapato al caminar.  The contact surfaces between the heel assembly (1) and the shoe assembly (2) that limit the rotation of the heel assembly (1) can have a shape such that when coupled they can do so in one or more planes, such that when the contact surfaces of the shoe assembly (2) and the contact surfaces of the heel assembly (1) achieve a greater stability effect on the shoe when walking.
La Figura 10 muestra una vista lateral de un zapato (13) de la primera modalidad indicando un corte. La Figura 11 muestra el corte de la Figura 10 en el que se exhibe a manera de ejemplo, y sin limitarse al número de superficies, un acoplamiento de las superficies de contacto (24A) con (24B) y (25A) con (25B) .  Figure 10 shows a side view of a shoe (13) of the first mode indicating a cut. Figure 11 shows the section of Figure 10 in which it is shown by way of example, and not limited to the number of surfaces, a coupling of the contact surfaces (24A) with (24B) and (25A) with (25B) .
La Figura 25 exhibe un zapato (22) que puede ser de cualquier modalidad indicando el corte C-C .  Figure 25 shows a shoe (22) that can be of any modality indicating the C-C cut.
En el zapato de la presente invención el movimiento de giro del conjunto tacón hace que la parte superior del conjunto tacón se desplace preferentemente hacia el interior del conjunto zapato (2), en donde el conjunto zapato (2) actúa como guia limitando el movimiento lateral del conjunto tacón (1) tal como exhibe en la Figura 26. In the shoe of the present invention the movement turning the heel assembly causes the upper part of the heel assembly to preferably move towards the inside of the shoe assembly (2), where the shoe assembly (2) acts as a guide limiting the lateral movement of the heel assembly (1) as it exhibits in Figure 26.
Una segunda modalidad ejemplar de la presente invención se muestra en la Figura 27 y se relaciona con un zapato que tiene: a) un conjunto tacón (1) el cual es el elemento que gira y que comprende un tacón de zapato (12) . El tacón de zapato es la sección inferior en la parte posterior del zapato que inicialmente hace contacto con el piso en el proceso de dar un paso. El tacón es uno de los componentes que conforman el conjunto tacón (1) y puede ser una pieza por separado unida al conjunto tacón (1) o ser una sola pieza con el conjunto tacón (1), y que el proceso de rotación el conjunto tacón (1) es amortiguado por uno o más elementos elásticos. Los elementos elásticos pueden ser por ejemplo: resortes, muelles, hules, geles, piezas de polímeros, aire encapsulado, materiales elásticos, o combinación los mismos; b) un conjunto zapato (2) que es el elemento que comprende la mayor parte del zapato, que aloja el pie del usuario y que incluye una suela (23) , la suela (23) es la parte del conjunto zapato (2) que hace contacto con el piso al caminar; c) un acoplamiento del conjunto tacón (1) con el conjunto zapato (2) que lleva a cabo las funciones del conjunto eje. En la segunda modalidad no hay un eje de giro físico adicional, el eje de giro del conjunto tacón (1) con el conjunto zapato (2) se logra por medio de la forma específica de los conjuntos y de su acoplamiento. La Figura 23 muestra que el conjunto tacón (1) tiene una sección (40) con forma parcialmente circular que contiene el eje de giro; en donde el conjunto zapato (2) comprende una cavidad que aloja la sección (40) y un elemento externo [no mostrado] fija el acoplamiento de tal manera que el acoplamiento mantiene la ubicación del eje de giro del conjunto tacón (1) con respecto al conjunto zapato (2) y permite el giro entre ambas piezas. A second exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figure 27 and relates to a shoe having: a) a heel assembly (1) which is the rotating element and comprising a shoe heel (12). The shoe heel is the bottom section on the back of the shoe that initially makes contact with the floor in the process of taking a step. The heel is one of the components that make up the heel assembly (1) and can be a separate piece attached to the heel assembly (1) or be a single piece with the heel assembly (1), and that the process of rotating the assembly Heel (1) is cushioned by one or more elastic elements. The elastic elements can be for example: springs, springs, rubber, gels, polymer parts, encapsulated air, elastic materials, or combination thereof; b) a shoe assembly (2) that is the element that comprises most of the shoe, which houses the user's foot and that includes a sole (23), the sole (23) is the part of the shoe assembly (2) that makes contact with the floor when walking; c) a coupling of the heel assembly (1) with the shoe assembly (2) that performs the functions of the shaft assembly. In the second mode there is no additional physical axis of rotation, the axis of rotation of the heel assembly (1) with the shoe assembly (2) is achieved by means of the specific shape of the assemblies and their coupling. Figure 23 shows that the heel assembly (1) has a partially circular section (40) containing the axis of rotation; wherein the shoe assembly (2) comprises a cavity that houses the section (40) and an external element [not shown] fixes the coupling such that the coupling maintains the location of the axis of rotation of the heel assembly (1) with respect to to the shoe set (2) and allows the rotation between both pieces.
Una variante en ésta modalidad lo muestra la Figura 24 y consiste en que el conjunto tacón (1) tiene dos salientes con forma cilindrica (20) que contienen el eje de giro y el conjunto zapato (2) comprende una cavidad que aloja ésta sección y un elemento externo [no mostrado] fija el acoplamiento de tal manera que el acoplamiento mantiene la ubicación del eje de giro del conjunto tacón (1) con respecto al conjunto zapato (2) y permite el giro entre ambas piezas.  A variant in this embodiment is shown in Figure 24 and is that the heel assembly (1) has two cylindrical projections (20) containing the axis of rotation and the shoe assembly (2) comprises a cavity that houses this section and an external element [not shown] fixes the coupling in such a way that the coupling maintains the location of the axis of rotation of the heel assembly (1) with respect to the shoe assembly (2) and allows the rotation between both pieces.
El eje de giro tiene una posición aproximadamente perpendicular con respecto al eje longitudinal del zapato, la posición de dicho eje de giro puede variar en un ángulo desde 0o hasta ±40° con respecto al eje longitudinal del zapato. El eje longitudinal del zapato se extiende desde el extremo posterior (en el tacón) del zapato hasta el extremo frontal (de la suela) del zapato. The axis of rotation has an approximately perpendicular position with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shoe, the position of said axis of rotation may vary at an angle from 0 or up to ± 40 ° with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shoe. The longitudinal axis of the shoe extends from the rear end (on the heel) of the shoe to the front end (of the sole) of the shoe.
Algunos ejemplos de ésta modalidad se muestran en las Figuras 6 y 7. En dicho acoplamiento se permite el giro del conjunto tacón (1) con respecto al conjunto zapato (2) tal como se muestra con las flechas (10) y (11) . En las Figuras 6 y 7 el conjunto tacón (1) contiene el eje de giro y se encuentra acoplado con el conjunto zapato (2) en donde el acoplamiento mantiene la ubicación del eje de giro del conjunto tacón (1) con respecto al conjunto zapato (2). Some examples of this modality are shown in Figures 6 and 7. In said coupling the rotation of the heel assembly (1) with respect to the shoe assembly (2) as shown with the arrows (10) and (11) is allowed. In Figures 6 and 7 the heel assembly (1) contains the axis of rotation and is coupled with the shoe assembly (2) where the coupling maintains the location of the axis of rotation of the heel set (1) with respect to the shoe set (2).
La Figura 19 muestra una vista en corte del inicio del proceso de caminar al dar un paso y muestra cómo se apoya el tacón (12) en el piso (7), el conjunto tacón (1) gira; en donde el desplazamiento angular del conjunto tacón (1) es en la dirección de la flecha (38); en donde el eje de giro para ésta modalidad se encuentra en el zapato preferentemente hacia el frente y hacia arriba con respecto al tacón (12) y por encima del nivel de la suela (23) . Dicho giro del conjunto tacón ocasiona que el elemento elástico (4) se comprima ejerciendo una fuerza opuesta a la dirección de la flecha (38) y asi se amortigua el impacto del tacón con el piso .  Figure 19 shows a sectional view of the beginning of the walking process when taking a step and shows how the heel (12) rests on the floor (7), the heel assembly (1) rotates; wherein the angular displacement of the heel assembly (1) is in the direction of the arrow (38); where the axis of rotation for this mode is preferably in the shoe towards the front and upwards with respect to the heel (12) and above the level of the sole (23). Said rotation of the heel assembly causes the elastic element (4) to be compressed by exerting a force opposite to the direction of the arrow (38) and thus the impact of the heel with the floor is cushioned.
