The present invention relates to a kind of sport footwear, with security and the practicality that improves it with novel characteristics.More particularly, sport footwear of the present invention is equipped with the locking that can separate, plug-in module, and it is to be inserted in removably in the recessed gripper socket of sole.This plug-in module can comprise that this circuit comprises a switch through the coupled outside visible light-emitting device of circuit for a battery and one, and by foot its applied pressure is encouraged this light-emitting device in walking with in running according to the wearer.
In patent documentation, there are many data to describe and supply with the battery of their energy, so that the method for visually eye-catching various types footwear for example is provided at the different parts of footwear installing light-emitting component.In the most of examples that occur in prior art, light-emitting device and battery once were installed in the heel at the bottom of the dress shoes.The advantage of this structure is that the heel of dress shoes generally can provide enough volumes and easily hold these electronic component devices; and constitute by firm inelastic material; to protect this lamp and battery, be under the translucent situation at it, it also can play the effect of optical conductor and light dispenser.
Such as United States Patent (USP) 4,253, No. 253, No. 570,614, No. 444,392, BP and belgian patent understand for example that all height the women is with the example that a battery is housed in the dress shoes in its hollow heel.In addition, United States Patent (USP) 1,597,823,2,931,893,4,014,115 and 5,052,131, and European patent discloses EP-121-026-A and has described and the inside with fluting is housed on luminous dress shoes and slippers holds battery and heel that increase or square.
At shoe lining active light-emitting device being installed there is several reasons, for example, increases wearer's safety at night, special visual effect is provided in the entertainment place, or helps the test and the measurement of some biomethanics.
Thereby, people know that (as pedestrian or cyclist) installs passive reverberation (comprising zone of reflections or the like) on athletic equipment or clothes, increase their visibility, thereby increase their safety at night, but work in order to make them for pure reflecting element, must shine by the active light source (as the light of automobile headlamp) of an outside.Install in self footwear that active light source do not rely on external light source irradiation than those pure reflect naturally have higher visibility and a security.
Say that again the shoe lining of participating in some people from entertainment place is equipped with active light source, as the dancer, march troop, those shoes that sportsman etc. wear under the situation a little less than the light, can obtain special, spectacular visual effect.Particularly need the to arouse attention occasion of participant foot for example is equipped with the march troop of this footwear, because the consistent synchronously motion of each self luminous pin of team member produces impressive grand scene to the people.
The subjects dress of participating in some walking and road-work research has the footwear of an active light supply apparatus, also can strengthen scientist and biomethanics engineer measured and analyzed those motions from the viewpoint of human engineering or sports medical science ability.Above-mentioned research usually comprises the specified point or the reflectance target of the foot that uses the high-speed motion picture pick-up device to take to be arranged in experimental subjects or ankle, adopt digital computer digitlization to be carried out in that motion then for analysis subsequently, the source point light source is installed on the testing site on the footwear, because the method that this active light source is used for taking pictures is more clear clearly demarcated, therefore can improve method of testing, thus more easily shooting.In addition, this light source can dispose a switch to pressure or acceleration sensitive, when in a specific motion, a certain default power or acceleration be applied this to the switch of pressure or acceleration sensitive on the time, this light source can illuminate selectively.Therefore, can analyze power or the acceleration that in various motions, acts on the footwear better.
In the review of prior art reference, disclosed because the characteristic of the needed elasticity of sole, flexibility and load-bearing at the volley makes the luminaire that is installed in the sport footwear inside story complicated.For can not being underproof at the bottom of the sport footwear of needed load-bearing, protection and comfortable unreasonable design is provided for the sportsman.Therefore a religious doctrine with prior art instructs the side of having to follow with high with the various types of dress shoes and the slippers that reach essential hard sole, and the design of their light-emitting devices and power supply is installed in the sport footwear with overall identical structure, not a simple thing.
The further limitation of prior art project organization can be installed in regard to them and be in the sport footwear that difficulty packs in the footwear, and the replaceability and the maintainability of their various elements of the thing followed (battery, light source and the switch module that comprise them).
The invention discloses the comparatively traditional sport footwear of a kind of structure, but a socket is installed in its sole, the pattern that make it be configured as the formula that can slip into, can separate the bridle joint of locking is accepted detachable insertion module.This module preferably includes an interchangeable power supply, as a battery, comprise the circuit of a switch, for example one to pressure sensitive switch, wearer's pin is acted on power induction action and a light-emitting device above it, as a light emitting diode (" LED ").This inserts module and is configured as and can also can be held in the inside to slip into pattern and can insert socket with locating, can take out.According to this structure, this plug-in module can easily take out in sport footwear, to change battery, perhaps consider with another have such as different light sources, power supply, working method or fully the module of difference in functionality replace whole plug-in module.

Figure 11 is another embodiment of sport footwear of the present invention.
Figure 1 shows that according to sport footwear 20 of the present invention.Footwear 20 generally comprise a resilient sole 22, it self may further include middle bottom below it divide 23 and base part 24 and upper of a shoe 25, flap 26 and fastener 28(such as figure be interpreted as footwear are fastened on belt on wearer's pin).
As illustrating in greater detail, be installed in socket device 30 in the sole 22 of sport footwear 20 and be to hold and connect with clamping plug-in module 32 in the mode that slips into formula, can separate locking at Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.Socket device 30 preferably is arranged in the heel part 36 of sole 22, general herein sole is the thickest, and comprise one in the middle bottom 23 of sole opening 40 and an inner chamber 42 that in the middle bottom of sole, forms so that allow plug-in module 32 insertions, maintenance and draw off.
By seeing among Fig. 2, socket device 30 also preferably includes a harder rectangular channel structure, and it is in compacting or the middle bottom 23 that is bonded in sole 22.The inner surface that limits the sidewall 43 of socket device 30 groove structures comprises a pair of depressed part 44, and its style of work below will be described.
This plug-in module 32 comprises a structure that can be compared to the commode drawer-like.Plug-in module 32 comprises a housing or body 46, and it has an outer surface 50 and one and is configured as the ordinary rectangular body portion 52 of slidably inserting socket device 30 inside.The fixing or a pair of thrust 48 that is shaped on the horizontal sidewall of rectangle part.When plug-in module 32 inserts in the socket device 30 fully, these thrusts 48 that constitute can be separated locking and hold plug-in module 32 thereby reach with the depressed part 44 in the wall 43 of flexible, as to form cam-like, hypercentre, locking mesh mode bridle joint socket device 30.Thisly separate locking engagement and prevented from shoes swing, crooked and vibration, plug-in module 30 is unexpectedly extruded from footwear, but the user can overcome this locking by method described below.
Plug-in module 32 also preferably is configured as and comprises a pair of little protuberance 66 that pulls usefulness at the edge of outer surface 50, little protuberance 66 should be shaped to and is close to a pair of pit or the contour groove 68 that form on opening 40 limits at the outer surface of bottom 22 and coincide smoothly, does not expose any wedge angle.Because this matching relationship, then resembling fan-shaped groove 68 makes the wearer of these footwear 20 firmly grasp pulling with little protuberance 66 of plug-in module 32 easily with the finger tip of he (she), by acting on the outside pulling force above it, the projection 48 that overcomes the module side is in the elastic locking engagement of 44 li of their supporting socket depressions, thereby plug-in module 32 is extracted from socket device 30.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2-7, this plug-in module preferably comprises a light-emitting device, as a bulb or a light emitting diode 54, and with its compacting, bonding or be fixed on a cavity or a hole 55 that passes outer surface 50 and enter into the body 46 of module 32 with other method.When inserting module, can see this bulb or light emitting diode 54 like this in the appearance of footwear.Be that light emitting diode 54 is communicated with the battery in projecting inward rectangle part 52 62 that is arranged in plug-in module 32 selectively by electric contact and component 58,60 ideally, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.
Plug-in module 32 or socket device 30, sole 22 or middle bottom 23 can further be respectively charged into a part that correspondingly increases or reduce by 70, purpose is to connect and start to be arranged in the simple pressure sensitive switch 72 in plug-in module 32 tops, to finish being electrically connected of battery 62 and light emitting diode 54.As described in detail below.
Fig. 6 is the cross-sectional view strength along 6-6 line among Fig. 4, and illustrates in greater detail the electric device of plug-in module 32.More particularly, to recognize that battery 62 can be less a, disc, 3 volts lithium battery, can locate and be held in the body 46 of module 32 with illustrated orientation by its edge, for example, its back-to-back charged two ends face respectively by form the relative groove of separating 63 in the madial wall of module body 46, make battery be bitten or to slip in the groove up and down.Common metal the end of a thread that component 58 and the 60 common light emitting diodes 54 that just provided by factory are had is formed.In shown embodiment, component is to enter into body 46 by hole 55, with shown in mode on battery 62.
As will be seen, a simple light emitting diode-battery circuit requires in illustrated demonstration example mode, make appropriate light emitting diode the end of a thread 58,60 simultaneously respectively with 62 liang of end in contact of battery, so that power on circuitry, and finish without any need for soldering or refining dynamo-electric contact.As described below: one 60 of light emitting diode the end of a thread bottom upper surface along the base plate of module 32 or diapire cause forward be positioned at battery 62 below.The end of a thread 60 can be by being bent downwardly its free end, and it is pierced in the aperture 64 on the body base plate, and be fixed on this position, flush with the body downside then and cut off it, but to the fine finishining at desired this end as a result and non-essential: light emitting diode the end of a thread fixed size is also controlled the position of battery 62, when battery by snap-on or when sliding into the module space, a lower surface that comprises one of its electrode remains with the end of a thread 60 and electrically contacts.
Top the end of a thread 58 of light emitting diode can adopt similar structure, just it is to draw forward along the lower surface of cantilever 74 here, cantilever 74 is that the upper surface from the body 46 of module 32 extends forward, comes clad battery 62 and it second, towards last electrode (see figure 3).If necessary, the end of a thread 58 can to above-mentioned similar mode, by being bent upwards not stiff end and, limiting the end then and flush, but find that once more aforesaid way is unnecessary with respect to final switch effect with body 46 with its aperture 65 that passes cantilever 74.
Certainly, in a more refining pattern, the lower surface of the upper face of the base plate of module 32 and cantilever 74 is equipped an electric contact respectively, and light emitting diode the end of a thread is separately welded or be crimped with in each contact.These contacts are arranged rightly according to battery, come each utmost point of contact electrode under suitable condition.Element that these are additional and coupling mechanism without any additional gain, all make the module cost increase aspect reliable in function but as noted above.
The position of cantilever 74 can be adjusted, and like this in a structure, in battery one was slipped into or be overlapped on position in the module 32, the end of a thread the 58, the 60th of each light emitting diode electrically contacted with each utmost point of battery simultaneously.In this structure, no matter whether module 32 be inserted in the socket device 30, when battery one is installed in the module 32, just conducting constantly of light emitting diode.
Another kind of preferable method, the position of cantilever 74 can be adjusted, and so consequently top the end of a thread 58 is placed in the upper electrode that leaves battery 62 a little.In this embodiment, this circuit opens circuit, and light emitting diode closes, and is subjected to downward power up to cantilever 74, causes top the end of a thread 58 to contact with the upper electrode of battery at full tilt, thereby has constituted this loop and connected light emitting diode.In one embodiment, this can finish by simply a module 32 being inserted in the socket device 30, module is equipped with the cantilever 74 of the inner surface on the top that is positioned at relative socket device 30 rightly, so that when module 32 is inserted in the socket device 30, make the former be subjected to downward power by afterbody.In this embodiment, when module 32 1 was inserted in the footwear 20, light emitting diode just was switched " on ", and when module one is pulled out, light emitting diode is just by " disconnection ".
In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 7, cantilever 74 can be placed in the inner surface with respect to socket device 30 tops, and requires the wearer of sport footwear 20 to apply an additional downward power or pressure by covering the interlayer of the middle ends 23 of cantilever 74, acts on the cantilever 74.So, in walking or running, the heel by the wearer applies power on it, so that finish electrically contacting of the end of a thread 58, and make light emitting diode 54 energisings.Therefore can see, in this structure, cantilever 74 resemble one simple, cheap but effective device play the effect of above-mentioned pressure sensitive switch 72, and sport footwear 20 can dispose a pressure-sensitive light-emitting device therefrom.
Fig. 8 shows the exploded view of the plug-in module 32 of a socket device 30 and Fig. 1.Plug-in module 32 preferably constitute promptly can as the orientation on the positive side of seeing among Fig. 2, also can be opposite as shown in Figure 8 the orientation insert in the socket device 30.By this structure, the upper and lower inner surface of switch 72 or cantilever 74 or socket device 30 constitutes corresponding mutually position, and causing module like this is " often opening " type, perhaps in another kind of pattern, promptly according to the pressure " connection " of pin.When plug-in module 32 inserts with the orientation on the positive side in the socket device 30, module is above-mentioned two kinds of patterns.Under opposite situation, module is " normally closed " type.
This embodiment allows plug-in module 32 to be taken out from footwear 20 by the user, after the upset, insert again in the socket device 30, be not switched on power supply and insert back light emitting diode 54, perhaps, even when module 32 is inserted into and pin by the wearer acts on the module pressure, and also be failure to actuate according to the switch 72 that the pressure of pin is connected light emitting diode.Therefore, when the wearer of sport footwear does not wish luminously, perhaps do not wish according to the pressure of pin luminously, he or she can take out plug-in module 32 simply and with opposite state it be turned back in the socket device 30.This embodiment allows module 32 lockings to be held in the footwear 20, but under normally closed pattern, will prevent that also plug-in module 32 from may detach and lose from footwear.
The middle bottom 23 that importantly needs to understand athletic shoe sole 22 is by the elastomeric material of foaming, forms in the compressed tablets as polyolefin plastics (" EVA ") or polyurethane (" PU ").And outer bottom 24 is common harder still elastomeric materials, as synthetic rubber.These structures act synergistically mutually, and the remaining part of shoes requires to reach to the elastic bearing, particularly heel bone of all foot's structure parts and the ball bone and the phalanx of pin, to bear the impact that impact collides in any specific motion (comprise and run and jump).In fact, require sole 22 bufferings to absorb and the rebounce collision, in addition sufficient pliability to be arranged, with the crooked and answer that allows in walking and the motion from the heel to the leg fingers that causes in running is required, and also can be buffered in various other motor activities the cross force that rotatablely moves and produced of the various types that gives by the wearer.
Therefore, be to be understood that the middle bottom of sole 22 flexibly mounted characteristics, particularly sport footwear 20 divides 23, though a plug-in module of describing pattern here is installed therein, but still must observe the particular design standard.
In the cross-sectional view strength of Fig. 4, socket device 30 is illustrated as the bottom that places sole 22 and divides between 23 the top layer and bottom.More particularly, the middle end 23, have a basic thickness D 1, and wherein the thickness of socket device is T 1, the elastic part thickness at the middle end 23 above the socket device 30 will be D 2, the bottom divides thickness will be D in the elasticity below the socket device 30 3Found once that the middle end had a typical hardness property and a D 1The scope of thickness between 15mm and 22mm in, D 2With D 1Ratio preferably will be in the scope between about 0.09 and 0.2 so that reach successfully described plain edition plug-in module is installed in in the end, also keep impact resistance and pliable and tough characteristic at the bottom of the desired sport footwear.Further, D 3With D 1Preferred ratio will be in the scope between about 0.2 and 0.5, and the thickness T of socket device 1With sole thickness D 1Ratio be preferably in the scope between about 0.45 and 0.8.
Figure 5 shows that a cross-sectional view strength along 5-5 line among Fig. 4.In Fig. 5, show the Outboard Sections of socket device 30, as described the light emitting diode 54 of the heart therein by the cross section of plug-in module 32.In addition, show above plug-in module 32 respective thickness of middle bottom material again.In order to keep suitable distance, base thickness degree should be preferably in the scope of 2~5mm in this, and tartan should have about 50~60 Shore hardness C.
Therefore, from previous discussion, should not imagine the sport footwear that plug-in module 32 of the present invention is confined to have the aforesaid middle end independent, layering and elastomeric material outer bottom solid or foaming.Figure 9 shows that the another kind of pattern of sole structure of sports shoes, it often is called as " at the bottom of the combination of cup-shaped sole " 75.Wherein, the outer bottom parts 24 of footwear are by elastic rubber material compacting, and it has one and is formed towards last cup-shaped 77 by volute sidewall 76, and upper of a shoe 24 is inside being placed and being fixed on.
In this structure, before the affixed upper of a shoe, it can comprise a common middle bottom structure, even with a pre-stamped formula that falls into, or directly is compressed on wherein.On the other hand, owing to save the characteristics of cost and/or weight reduction, the end in would rather cancelling and do not adopt " crane span structure " pattern of said structure, and form by the wall 78 that integrally is compressed on the many upright horizontal connection in glass bottom structure, and define many spacious tops, connectionless caveli between them.When upper of a shoe is bonded in cup-shaped in the time, generally comprise upper of a shoe bottom is arranged and be bonded in to " wearing plate ", on the upper surface of cavity, and these cavitys are closed.
As recognizing, the another kind of pattern of footwear sole construction has a certain measure of holding plug-in module 32 of the present invention, and can easily hold it.Therefore, in the crane span structure type of cup bottom structure shown in Figure 9, a cavity 42A is according to the length of socket device 30 profiles and wide size, at the bottom of the cup during 75 initial mold pressing, at the bottom of being formed in glass in.Upstanding sidewall 76 contains an opening 40, and opening 40 is by upstanding sidewall 76 and extend among the cavity 42A, is similar to be equipped with in the medium bottom shoes in Fig. 2 to be had.
But the height C of cavity 42A 1The thickness T that surpasses socket device 30 1, general big in 12~18mm order of magnitude.Therefore for holding on this size and the assurance function and having the plug-in module of an above-mentioned pattern and be equipped with that the footwear at the end are equal in the elasticity, the upper and lower that then top and bottom cross cutting, that have the interior hardness of above discussion scope, identical with bottom material in foaming flexible foaming pad 79A and 79B are arranged in socket device 30 forms hierarchy in cavity 42A.The interlayer of hierarchy sticks with glue with the bottom of upstanding wall and cavity each other and connects then, so as in the space splendid attire socket device 30.
Be the pad 79A that reaches top and bottom respectively and the appropriate thickness C of 79B 2And C 3, at first need height C from cavity 42A 1In deduct the thickness T of socket device 30 1This interpolation is at C 2And C 3Between preferably distribute with 60% to 40% ratio.Therefore, cavity height C in a preferred embodiment 1Be about under 12~18mm situation embodiment in which top gasket 79A thickness C 2To be about 2~4mm, bottom gasket 79B thickness C 3Mensuration is about 1~3mm, all other remain unchanged.Similarly, C 2With C 1Ratio be preferably in about 0.11~0.33 the scope and C 3With C 1Ratio will be about 0.05~0.25.
The test that these stipulations that provided are provided for we once showed, implementation procedure and aspect of performance at plug-in module, the cup-shaped end of the portal structure of the medium bottom shoes of solid stratiform as shown in Figure 2 and construction opening as shown in Figure 9, be installed, do not have difference in essence, in fact these two kinds can exchanged aspect device and the function pattern fully.
The parts of socket device 30 and plug-in module 32 preferably are made of cheap and durable plastic material, as the acetyl resin of coloured part, or the Merlon of transparent part.These materials have enough hardness and durability, and enough elasticity is arranged, make as above the performance of the secondary locking mechanism 44,48 of opinion and cantilever switch arm 74 have like the spring flexiblely, and also meet the accuracy of the mechanism of expectation.
Figure 10 has described another embodiment that has with the plug-in module 80 of above-mentioned difference in functionality.The size of module 80 is totally identical with module 32 among Fig. 1-7, and still, in this embodiment, component such as battery and light emitting diode have been omitted.The substitute is, module 80 adopts to be installed one have open top, little, special-purpose cell 82 and of installing selectively holds clip 84 in its internal recess 86.When module was inserted in the footwear 20, cell 82 was closed, by this structure, different with the lighting function of plug-in module 32, its function is that a cell little, light, sealing is used for storing little, the special-purpose article of wearer, as coin, or the key in little lock or house.
