Description

The footwear sole construction that is used for shoes
Technical field
The present invention relates to a footwear sole construction that is used for shoes, specifically, relate to the improvement of sole forefoot part bendability.
Background technology
Sole is formed by a soft resilient material usually, realizing the characteristic of pad pin, and also requires to have bendability or flexibility in sole forefoot part, so as run or walking process in, make the sole forefoot partly obtain ground recoil smoothly.In the shoes of prior art, the bendability of sole forefoot part or flexible by reducing sole forefoot part thickness or partly form a horizontal stroke 9 at the sole forefoot and be achieved to the curved slot of extending.
Yet in a traditional sole assembly, the bending motion of wearer's forefoot is the top by footwear is delivered to sole when wearer's forefoot part is a crooked forefoot part.That is the traditional sole assembly bending motion sole forefoot part of crooked shoes directly that is not configured to wearer's forefoot.
Propose the present invention in view of such circumstances, its objective is provides a sole assembly that is used for the novelty of shoes, and it is configured to the bending motion sole forefoot part of crooked shoes directly of wearer's forefoot.In other words, the present invention relates to provide a kind of sole assembly with improved bendability.
Summary of the invention
The present invention relates to a kind of sole assembly that is used for shoes, it has a sole body.Sole body has a cavity that is formed on the flat pattern in its forefoot zone.First and second curved surfaces that cavity is made by elastomeric material form, and two surfaces are connected to each other in front and rear, and spaced apart in the pars intermedia office.Path between the front-end and back-end of first curved surfaces equals the path between the front-end and back-end of second curved surfaces substantially.Sole body is out of shape like this: when first curved surfaces was pressed down, the posterior region of sole body upwards promoted.
According to the present invention, when the forefoot part of sole body was pressed down before the bending motion of the forefoot part of wearer's foot, first curved surfaces is out of shape and more close second curved surfaces, the sole body bending is so that upwards lifting of the posterior region of cavity (for example, the hind paw zone of sole body).
In this case, because when sole body was experienced the bending motion of forefoot part of wearer's foot, sole body bending or deflection were so the bending of the forefoot part of foot can be transferred on the sole body swimmingly and directly.In other words, the loading of wearer's weight causes the sole body bending.Thus, can improve the bendability of sole body.Moreover, in this case, since the sole body bending, and the cavity between first and second curved surfaces is shunk, so, when sole body is crooked, on the top surface of sole body, can produce wrinkle hardly, thus, prevent sufficient foaming or shoes and rub painful, and can when sole body is crooked, reduce the elongation of outer bottom, to prevent the separation of outer bottom.
The cavity that is formed by first and second curved surfaces can be the shape of parallelogram.
Sole body can have an elastomer in the forefoot zone, and it has the cavity that is formed on wherein, and harder than sole body.
Elastomer can have the lower area that a upper area and that comprises first curved surfaces comprises second curved surfaces.The bending stiffness of the front part of upper area can be lower than the bending stiffness of the rear section of upper area, and the bending stiffness of the rear section of lower area can be lower than the bending stiffness of the front part of lower area.
In this case, the forefoot part of foot is in carrying out the bending motion process, when compressive load is applied to the lower front part of the rigidity of first curved surfaces, the front part of first curved surfaces is distortion downwards easily, so that more close second curved surfaces, and the lower rear section upwards distortion easily of the rigidity of second curved surfaces.Thus, the loading of wearer's weight can be related to the bending motion of sole body, therefore, can improve the bendability of sole body.
Moreover, in this case,, can increase the area of contact of sole body with respect to ground because the bending position of sole body is positioned at the loading position and the back of the compressive load that partly applies from the forefoot of foot, thus, improve the engagement force when liftoff.
The thickness of the front part of upper area can be less than the thickness of the rear section of upper area, and the thickness of the rear section of lower area can be less than the thickness of the front part of lower area.In this case, revise bending stiffness by the thickness that changes Zone Full.
Can form a groove or through hole in the part that requires low bending stiffness, the part that maybe can be formed on the bending stiffness of having relatively high expectations forms a rib.In this case, revise bending stiffness by the thickness that changes regional area.
The rear section of upper area and the front part of lower area can have FRP (or fiber reinforced plastics) sheet that inserts wherein.FRP comprises such as carbon, glass, aramid fibre or suchlike fiber.
The rear section of elastomeric upper area and lower area can be unified into a unit on the rear side of first and second curved surfaces, and can further extend back.The rearmost end of this unit extension can be arranged on the heel area of sole body.
In this case, in the bending motion process of the forefoot part of wearer's foot, elastomeric extension is convenient to the moving upward of hind paw zone of sole body.Its result, the bending motion of the forefoot of foot can be transferred to sole body more swimmingly, and can further improve the bendability of sole body.
The cavity that is formed by first and second curved surfaces can have a reinforcement, to improve sole body or the elastomer rigidity along horizontal direction.Reinforcement prevents that cavity from easily subsiding.
Reinforcement can comprise one or more ribs of the horizontal expansion that is arranged on second curved surfaces.In the situation of the rib that the forefoot sweep partly along foot is provided with, the part place of forefoot part between adjacent all ribs of sole body is easy to bending, thus, and in walking or running process, with respect to foot demonstration one " guide effect ".
One elastic construction can be arranged on the forefoot zone of sole body, and described sole body comprises that first plate and with first curved surfaces has second plate of second curved surfaces, and the preceding and rear end of second plate is connected respectively on the preceding and rear end of first plate.
In another aspect of this invention, the bending stiffness in the forefoot zone of sole body can be suitable for two phase change, in the bending motion process in the forefoot zone of sole body, along with the progress of bending, changes to second bending stiffness from first bending stiffness.
In this case, in the process of the forefoot part bending motion of wearer's foot, when first curved surfaces when second curved surfaces is out of shape, the bending stiffness in the forefoot zone of sole body changes to second bending stiffness from first bending stiffness, thus, improve the bendability of sole body.
Two phase change of the bending stiffness of sole body can cause by closed cavities basically.
Promptly, in this case, first bending stiffness is that first curved surfaces contacts rigidity before second curved surfaces in the bending motion process of sole body, and second bending stiffness is the rigidity when first curved surfaces contacts second curved surfaces, makes the cavity closure and makes two surfaces assemble one each other.First bending stiffness of second bending stiffness when being formed with cavity, it roughly works to do a rigid body with respect to the distortion of sole body.
Therefore, when first curved surfaces contacted second curved surfaces, sole body was difficult to further distortion, and sole body moves to the state of rigid body in the motion of stepping on ground, thus, improved moving of sole body with stepping on.Cavity can be formed and the second following curved surfaces that comprises first curved surfaces of an arc that protrudes downwards and be arranged on first curved surfaces forms by elastomeric material, and second curved surfaces is formed by elastomeric material, and comprises the arc of protrusion downwards.Preceding and the rear end of second curved surfaces is connected respectively to the preceding and rear end of first curved surfaces, and the mid portion of second curved surfaces is arranged to leave the mid portion of first curved surfaces downwards.Sole body is out of shape in this manner: when first curved surfaces was pressed down, the posterior region of sole body upwards promoted.
In this case, in the bending motion process of the forefoot part of wearer's foot, when first curved surfaces was deformed to more close second curved surfaces, sole body is out of shape in this manner: the hind paw zone of sole body upwards promoted.Thus, the bending of the forefoot of foot part can be swimmingly and directly is transferred on the sole body, therefore, improves the bendability of sole body.
The one soft elastic component also softer than sole body (for example, such as sponge foamed material) can be inserted at least a portion of cavity.
In this case, be inserted into the suitable change in location of the soft elastic component in the cavity or the mode of texturing that expansion rate can be revised first and second curved surfaces, as elastic deformation amount or the resume speed after the strain of first and second curved surfaces.
Elastic component can be made from multiple components, and each parts roughly extends along horizontal direction.
The basal surface of sole body can constitute the ground contacting surface of sole.In this case, the distortion of the basal surface of sole body becomes the distortion of ground contacting surface, like this, and the bending motion of the forefoot part of the foot more directly crooked sole ground contacting surface that becomes.
First and second curved surfaces can be suitable for crossing along the longitudinal direction the thenar of wearer's foot.
In this case, when a load when the thenar of foot is applied on the sole assembly, the rear section of the forefoot part of sole upwards promotes.Thus, can realize that a kind of load that is suitable for repetition acts on the sole assembly of the running shoes on the sufficient thenar.
First and second curved surfaces are suitable for crossing along horizontal direction first proximal phalanges of wearer's foot.
In this case, when a load when first toe is applied on the sole assembly, the second surface distortion is to impel first toe towards interior lateral movement.Thus, carry out very smoothly, can realize that a kind of being applicable to requires the sole assembly of first toe of foot towards the golf shoes of interior lateral movement when golf impacts towards the load transmission of sole marginal portion.
First and second curved surfaces are suitable for crossing along horizontal direction the 5th proximal phalanges of wearer's foot.
In this case, when a load when the 5th toe is applied on the sole assembly, the distortion of second curved surfaces is to retrain the motion of the 5th toe towards side.Thus, can form a barrier on the side of sole body, its constraint is with respect to the downward distortion towards side of lateral movement (for example side step).Therefore, can realize a kind of sole assembly that is applicable to tennis shoes or basketball shoes.
Cavity can penetrate sole body along horizontal direction, like this, can improve the bendability of whole sole assembly along horizontal direction.

The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 to 5 illustrates a sole assembly of the first embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 1, a sole assembly 1 that is used for shoes comprises a sole body, it is made up of the forefoot part 2 of sole body and the s heel portion 3 of sole body, the former mainly is arranged on the forefoot zone F of sole assembly 1, and the latter is arranged on extremely sufficient middle part of the heel area H of sole assembly 1 or arch of foot zone M.The outer bottom 4 of one kiss the earth G is attached to the basal surface of sole body.One comprises that the heel area H of sole assembly 1 and the zone of sufficient central region M are referred to as ' hind paw ' region R hereinafter.
Sole body can be formed by soft resilient material.Specifically, can use thermoplasticity synthetic resin foam such as ethene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), such as the thermosetting resin foam of polyurethane (PU), or such as the elastomeric material foam of butadiene or chloroprene rubber.
One elastomer 10 mainly is arranged on the forefoot zone F of sole assembly 1, and described elastomer 10 has a flat pattern cavity or a hole 13 that is formed on wherein and extends along the longitudinal direction.Elastomer 10 is preferably formed by a hard elastomeric material, and the elastic modelling quantity of this material is greater than the elastic modelling quantity of sole body.Elastomer 10 can be formed by thermoplastic resin, for example, and the resin of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), polyamide elastomer (PAE), ABS resin and the like.Perhaps, it can be formed by thermosetting resin, for example, and the resin of epoxy resin, unsaturated polyester resin and the like.
The cavity 13 of elastomer 10 is preferably a through hole along horizontal or sole width penetrating projectile gonosome 10.As shown in Figure 2, cavity 13 is formed with first curved surfaces 11 that extends of arc ground along the longitudinal direction, and one is arranged on below first curved surfaces and also second curved surfaces 12 of arc ground extension along the longitudinal direction.First and second curved surfaces 11,12 are connected with Q at the some P that is arranged on front and rear separately from each other there.The mid portion that is arranged on first and second curved surfaces 11,12 between a P and the Q is spaced apart from each other.Some P and (that is distance P Q that measures along first curved surfaces 11, of the path between the Q between first curved surfaces 11 1) be substantially equal between the some P of second curved surfaces 12 and (that is distance P Q that measures along second curved surfaces 12, of the path between the Q 2).
Moreover first curved surfaces 11 comprises: from a generally flat surface or the slightly curved surface that its front end extends towards the rear end, and a curved surfaces that protrudes downwards that is arranged on the rear end of first curved surfaces 11.Second curved surfaces 12 comprises that one is arranged on the curved surfaces protruding upward at its front end place, and the slightly curved surface of a downward protrusion that extends towards the rear end from the front end of second curved surfaces 12.
As shown in Figure 3, elastomer 10 comprises that a upper area 10A and with first curved surfaces 11 has the lower area 10B of second curved surfaces 12.The front part 10A of upper area 10A fBending stiffness less than the rear section 10A of upper area 10A rBending stiffness.The front part 10B of lower area 10B fBending stiffness greater than the rear section 10B of lower area 10B rBending stiffness.
Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, the front part 10A of upper area 10A fThickness less than the rear section 10A of upper area 10A rThickness.The front part 10B of lower area 10B fThickness greater than the rear section 10B of lower area 10B rThickness.That is, in this case, the modification of whole area thickness can change the bending stiffness of elastomer 10.
In addition, can form groove or through hole (not shown) in the zone that requires low bending stiffness.Perhaps, can form some flanks in the zone of the bending stiffness of having relatively high expectations.That is, in this case, the modification of regional area thickness can change the bending stiffness of elastomer 10.
The rear section 10A of zone, upper and lower portion 10A, the 10B of elastomer 10 r, 10B rIn the rear end of first and second curved surfaces 11,12, be unified into a unit, and on the rear end, extend.The rear end of the part 10C that extends extends to the heel area H (see figure 1) of sole body.
Before a wearer forefoot part bending motion, when the forefoot zone of sole assembly 1 F was pressed down, a compressive load W (Fig. 1) made 11 distortion of first curved surfaces, makes it be bent downwardly (as shown in Figure 4) towards second curved surfaces 12.Its result, sole assembly 1 deflection by this way: the hind paw region R of sole assembly 1 upwards promotes (see figure 4).
In this case, deflection takes place in the bending motion of experiencing the forefoot part of wearer's foot owing to sole assembly, and the bending motion of the forefoot part of foot can be directly and is transferred to sole assembly swimmingly.In other words, can be in conjunction with the load of wearer's weight and cause the bending or the deflection of sole assembly.Thus, can improve the bendability of sole assembly.
In addition, because the front part 10A of the upper area 10A of elastomer 10 fHas rear section 10A than upper area 10A rLow bending stiffness, and the rear section 10B of lower area 10B rHas front part 10B than lower area 10B fLow bending stiffness, so, in the forefoot part bending motion process of compressive load W, act on the front part 10A of the upper area 10A of elastomer 10 at wearer's foot fOr relatively low stiffness is when partly going up, front part 10A fBe bent downwardly easily, the front part of first curved surfaces 11 is shifted to second curved surfaces 12, therefore, and the rear section 10B of lower area 10B rOr relatively low stiffness part deflection downwards easily.Its result, the bending motion of the forefoot part of wearer's foot can be transferred to sole assembly more swimmingly, thus, has strengthened the bendability of sole assembly.In addition, in this case, because the active position of the compressive load W that the bending of whole sole assembly or deflected position partly apply with respect to the forefoot by foot is to backward shift, so, sole assembly can increase with respect to the mesh regional of ground G, thus, is increasing engagement force when liftoff with stepping on.
Moreover, because when the cavity 13 that is surrounded by first and second curved surfaces 11,12 shrinks, sole assembly 1 distortion, so, when the sole assembly bending motion, wrinkle is difficult to generate on the top surface of sole body, thus, it is painful to prevent to take place on wearer's foot rubbing of bubble or footwear, moreover when the sole assembly bending motion, the elongation of outer bottom 4 reduces, thus, prevent separating of outer bottom 4 and sole body.
Then, in state as shown in Figure 4, the cavity 13 between first and second curved surfaces 11,12 is near closed.When sole assembly 1 was further crooked from as shown in Figure 4 state, the upper area 10A and the lower area 10B of elastomer 10 jointly were out of shape (shown in the solid line of Fig. 5).The dotted line of Fig. 5 shows the state of Fig. 4.
Therefore, first bending stiffness of the elastomer 10 in the state of Fig. 1 to 4 is different from second bending stiffness of the elastomer 10 in the state of Fig. 4 to 5.That is, elastomer 10, and therefore the bending stiffness of sole assembly in two stages,, be changed to second bending stiffness from first bending stiffness along with the progress of bending motion.Moreover in the situation of cavity formation 13, second bending stiffness is much larger than first bending stiffness.Therefore, in the sole assembly bending deformation process, when bending stiffness when first rigidity is converted to second rigidity, elastomer 10 works to be similar to a rigid body with respect to the distortion of sole assembly, thus, is improving the hard elastics characteristic when liftoff with stepping on.
In first embodiment, as mentioned above, an example has been described, wherein, the distance P Q that the some P of first curved surfaces 11 and the path between the Q or title measure along first curved surfaces 11 1, the distance P Q that is substantially equal to the some P and the path between the Q of second curved surfaces 12 or claims to measure along second curved surfaces 12 2, that is, and PQ 1=PQ 2Yet the present invention is not limited to such example.The present invention can be applicable to PQ 1≠ PQ 2Situation (that is PQ, 1＜PQ 2And PQ 1＞PQ 2).
At PQ 1＜PQ 2Situation in, because when 11 distortion of first curved surfaces, the point P of first curved surfaces 11 and the path elastic elongation between the Q are so the some P of first curved surfaces 11 after elastic elongation and the path between the Q can be substantially equal to the some P of second curved surfaces 12 and the path between the Q.
