Description

Spring shoe slipper

Technical Field

The present invention relates to amusement and training equipment, and more particularly to a bouncing shoe-slipper that provides a safe and effective tool for muscle exercise and allows freedom of movement.

Background

Jumping shoes or overshoes are well known and are considered a form of recreation and exercise in which a user can wear a jumping shoe with his foot to exercise muscles. In particular, the jumping shoe is used as a training tool for activities such as running, jogging, dancing, and aerobic exercise.

U.S. patent No. 6318001 discloses a bouncing sport shoe that includes a boot having a sole secured to an elastic body by a fastener. The elastic body is arranged at the lower side of the boot and is fixed with a skid-proof body, so that the skid-proof body is contacted with the ground when the bouncing sports shoe is acted. The fastening body comprises an upper body, a lower body and a containing space positioned between the upper body and the lower body. The upper body is fastened to the sole of the boot by a plurality of fastening bolts. The lower body is fastened to the elastic body by a plurality of fastening bolts. The elastic body is provided with an elastic piece made of elastic plastic materials, and the two insert rods of the elastic piece are used for keeping a buffer body. However, the bouncing sports shoe disclosed by the inventor has the following unsolved drawbacks.

As with other athletic shoes, each shoe needs to be provided in a variety of sizes to accommodate all users, typically from 5 to 12, although the inventor's jump sport shoes also provide a variety of different sizes, unlike conventional leather shoes or athletic shoes that are used only for walking or running. The jumping sports shoes are used for jumping or bouncing and require that the boots can be fully adapted to the size of the user's feet in order to avoid injuries to the user. However, since the size of the boot is fixed, the user cannot adjust the size of the boot to fit his foot. The user must take great care to avoid accidental injury or sprain of his foot while wearing and using the bouncing sports shoe. Suffering from ankle sprain injuries may cause severe bruising and pain around the ankle. In addition, when the child is older, the foot may not fit into the jump sports shoe. Some parents may purchase larger sized bouncing shoes to provide additional room for the growth of a child's foot. Since the bouncing footwear must be properly and tightly worn to protect the user's ankle during exercise, the additional space of the bouncing footwear will allow undesirable foot movement therein. As a result, the aged user may easily strain his ankle during exercise.

The boot and the elastic body are connected through the fastening body. In detail, an upper portion of the tightening body is fixed to the boot, and a lower portion of the tightening body is fixed to the elastic body. In other words, the size or height of the fastener will increase the distance between the point of application of force to the boot and the point of application of force to the elastomer. When this distance is increased, the spring force on the elastic body is unevenly applied back to the user, with the result that the user will easily lose balance and strain his ankle during exercise.

The elastic body is provided with an elastic piece made of elastic plastic material between two longitudinal ends of the elastic body, and a cover body is arranged at the longitudinal end of the elastic body and used for covering the two longitudinal ends of the elastic body. Since the elastic body is made of a plastic material, the elastic body deforms under the force applied by the foot to generate a bouncing force. The elastomer is susceptible to breaking when it is unable to withstand the force applied by the foot. However, there is no safety device for protecting the user when the elastomer breaks. Indeed, the bouncing shoes disclosed by the inventor do not provide any safety device to indicate or protect the use of the bouncing shoes.

As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the slipper 10 has a bottom side 101 and a shoe cavity 102 for holding a shoe worn by a user. In other words, the user can use the bouncing shoe pull with his own shoe, so that shoes of different sizes can be held tightly in the shoe cavity 102 to enhance the utility of the bouncing shoe pull.

In one embodiment, the bouncing unit 20 comprises an upper elastic member 21 and a lower elastic member 22 connected to the upper elastic member 21 in an end-to-end manner, so as to form a bouncing cavity 23 between the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22. Accordingly, the upper resilient member 21 has a downwardly curved configuration and the lower resilient member 22 has an upwardly curved configuration such that when the upper resilient member 21 and the lower resilient member 22 are connected end-to-end, the bounce chamber 23 is formed having an elliptical shape. The jumping unit 20 is provided to generate an elastic force by pressing and rebounding to and from each other between the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22 to and fro.

The fastening unit 30 is configured to directly connect the bottom side 101 of the shoe slipper 10 to the bouncing unit 20, so as to minimize the distance between the point of application of force to the shoe slipper 10 and the point of application of force to the bouncing unit 20, thereby providing a balanced elastic force to the shoe slipper 10. Accordingly, after pulling a pair of the jumping shoes respectively holding the user's shoes, the user can jump or walk to apply a downward force to the jumping unit 20, so that an elastic force can be generated through the jumping unit 20 and applied to the user.

As shown in fig. 4, the shoe slipper 10 includes a base 11, two upper parts 12 respectively extending upward from both sides of the base 11 to form the shoe cavity 102, and a shoe fastening unit 13, the shoe fastening unit 13 being connected between the upper parts 12 to selectively adjust the size of the shoe cavity 102 for firmly wearing a shoe in the shoe cavity 102. Thus, each shoe of the user can be placed and supported on the sole 11 and wrapped by the upper 12 to be held in the shoe cavity 102. The size of the shoe cavity 102 can be selectively adjusted to accommodate different shoe sizes by the distance between the upper 12. Preferably, the shoe slipper 10 further has a non-slip structure, such as a mesh structure or a non-slip layer formed on the top side of the base platform 11, to prevent any undesired movement of the shoe relative to the base platform 11.

The slipper 10 further includes an ankle protector 14 integrally and upwardly extended from each of the upper 12 to securely wrap around the ankle of the user. It is worth mentioning that the ankle brace 14 cannot be moved or folded with respect to the upper 12. Therefore, the ankle of the user can be protected by the ankle guard 14 to prevent the ankle from being strained when the jumping shoe slipper is used. Preferably, an ankle bumper 141 is provided inside the ankle brace 14 to provide flexibility and cushioning to the user when the user's ankle is covered by the ankle brace 14.

According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shoe fastening unit 13 includes a first coupling groove 131 and a second coupling groove 132 formed at the upper 12, respectively, an elongated fastening band 133 extending through the first coupling groove 131 and the second coupling groove 132, and an anchoring member 134 provided at a fixed end of the fastening band 133.

The first coupling groove 131 and the second coupling groove 132 are two elongated through grooves formed at the upper 12, wherein each of the first coupling groove 131 and the second coupling groove 132 has a predetermined width to allow the fastening band 133 to slidably pass therethrough. The anchoring member 134 is larger than the first coupling groove 131 in size to maintain the fixed end of the fastening band 133 at the first coupling groove 131.

As shown in fig. 5, the anchor 134 includes an angled member 1341 and an anchor member 1342. The angle member 1341 has two ends, wherein one end of the angle member 1341 is connected to the fixed end of the fastening band 133 and the other end of the angle member 1341 is connected to the anchor member 1342, preferably, the angle member 1341 has an "L" shape. Specifically, the angled member 1341 includes a strap connector portion connected to the fixed end of the fastening strap 133 and an extension extending perpendicularly from the strap connector to form an "L" shaped configuration of the angled member 1341. The extension of the angled member 1341 extends integrally to the middle of the anchor member 1342 such that the strap connector portion of the angled member 1341 is parallel to the anchor member 1342. To fix the fixed end of the fastening strap 133, the anchors 134 are connected to the respective uppers 12 through the first connecting slots 131 in a position in which the strap connector portion of the angled member 1341 and the anchor member 1342 are located on the lateral side and the medial side of the uppers 12, respectively, while the extension portions of the angled member 1341 extend between the strap connector portion of the angled member 1341 and the anchor member 1342 through the first connecting slots 131. In other words, the fastening strap 133 passes through the first connecting slot 131 from the medial side to the lateral side of the corresponding upper 12 until the anchor member 1342 of the anchor 134 is pressed against the medial side of the upper 12. The fixed end of the fastening band 133 is held to the corresponding upper 12. The size of the shoe cavity 102 is selectively adjusted when the opposite free end of the fastening strap 133 extends through the second attachment slot 132 to adjustably back-buckle the fastening strap 133. In other words, after the free end of the fastening strip 133 extends through the second attachment slot 132, the removed section of the fastening strip 133 is folded over the extended section of the fastening strip 133 to form a loop of the fastening strip 133. The removed section of the fastening band 133 is a portion of the fastening band 133 extending from the free end and passing through the second coupling groove 132, and the extended section of the fastening band 133 is a portion extending from the fixed end and formed between the first coupling groove 131 and the second coupling groove 132.

Further, the shoe fastening unit 13 further includes a fastening band 135 provided along the fastening band 133 to allow the free end of the fastening band 133 to be self-fastened at a place where the fastening band 135 is provided.

It is worth mentioning that the user can wear different shoes to be held by the shoe tree 10. For example, a user's shoe with a wider toe cap may be retained by the upper 12 and secured by adjustment of the securing straps 133. It is worth mentioning that a plurality of the fastening bands 133 may be used in the shoe tree 10. In one embodiment, three fastening strips 133 are used, wherein two of the fastening strips 133 are spaced apart on the front and rear portions of the upper 12, and a third one of the fastening strips 133 is disposed on the ankle support 14. In other words, three sets of the first connecting grooves 131 and the second connecting grooves 132 are respectively provided on the upper 12 and the ankle guard 14.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3 and 6, each of the upper and lower

elastic members

21 and 22 has a generally rectangular shape and is preferably made of plastic, wherein both lateral edges of the upper elastic member 21 are connected to both lateral edges of the lower elastic member 22, respectively, to form the bounce cavity 23 in an oval or eye shape.

The bouncing unit 20 further includes an elastic force holder 24, and the elastic force holder 24 holds the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22 in a state of maintaining the shape of the bouncing cavity 23. Accordingly, the elastic holder 24 includes two end holders 241 and two elastic arms 242, each of the end holders 241 holds two corresponding ends of the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22, and the two elastic arms 242 extend in parallel and integrally between the two end holders 241 to maintain a distance between the two end holders 241.

Accordingly, each of the end retainers 241 includes an end cover 2411 having a "V" shaped structure, and two side walls 2412 integrally formed at both sides of the end cover 2411 to form an end cavity in the end cover 2411 and the side walls 2412, wherein the end portions of the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22 are received in the end cavity of each of the end retainers 241. It is worth mentioning that each of the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22 is bent into an arc-shaped configuration to accommodate the end cavity of the holder 241 at its end. Preferably, the resilient arms 242 extend integrally between the side walls 2412 of the end retainers 241, wherein each resilient arm 242 extends from the side wall 2412 of one end retainer 241 to the side wall 2412 of the other end retainer 241. Thus, the distance between the two end retainers 241 is maintained by the two elastic arms 242 to maintain the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22 in the arc configuration.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the bouncing unit 20 further includes a non-slip member 25 connected to the bottom side of the lower elastic member 22. Accordingly, the slip prevention member 25 has a curvature matching that of the lower elastic member 22. The slip prevention member 25 can reinforce the strength of the lower elastic member 22 to prevent it from being excessively bent and prevent the lower elastic member 22 from being abruptly collapsed.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the fastening unit 30 includes a fastener 31 retained in the bounce cavity 23 to directly fasten the bounce unit 20 to the bottom side 101 of the shoe slipper 10. Accordingly, the fastener 31 is connected to a lower side of the upper elastic member 21 and extends through the upper elastic member 21 at the lower side of the upper elastic member 21 to be directly fastened to the bottom side 101 of the shoe tree 10.

According to the preferred embodiment, the fastening unit 30 further comprises a connecting member 32, and the connecting member 32 is disposed in the shoe cavity 102 of the shoe cover 10 to connect with the fastening member 31 to connect the shoe cover 10 to the bouncing unit 20. Preferably, the connecting member 32 is recessed in a bottom wall of the shoe cavity 102, i.e., the top side of the abutment 11, to be detachably connected with the fastening member 31. In other words, the abutment 11 has an inner cavity formed on the top side thereof to accommodate the connecting member 32 therein, so that the connecting member 32 will not protrude from the top side of the abutment 11. Thus, the bottom side 101 of the shoe tree 10 directly contacts and is connected to the top side of the upper elastic member 21 of the bouncing unit 20.

In one embodiment, the fastening member 31 includes a fastening plate 311 overlapping the lower side of the upper elastic member 21, and at least one fastening bolt 312, wherein the fastening bolt 312 is connected to the fastening plate 311 and extends through the upper elastic member 21 to be connected with the connecting member 32. To connect the shoe slipper 10 to the bouncing unit 20, the user can rotate the fastening bolt 312 on the fastening plate 311 to pass through a screw hole of the upper elastic member 21 and a screw hole of the base 11 of the shoe slipper 10, thereby connecting the fastening bolt 312 to the connecting member 32. In other words, the shoe tree 10 can be detached from the bouncing unit 20 by screwing the connecting member 32 out of the fastening bolt 312.

The safety unit 40 includes a light indicator 41 supported to the bounce chamber 23 of the bounce unit 20, wherein the light indicator 41 is activated to produce a lighting effect to enhance visibility of the bounce shoe in response to movement of the shoe 10.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3 and 7, the light indicator 41 is detachably connected to the bouncing unit 20 through the elastic arm 242. The light indicator 41 includes a light box 411 detachably connected between the elastic arms 242, a power source 412 received in the light box 411, a light source 413 powered by the power source 412, and a motion sensor 414 for sensing the motion of the shoe slipper 10 to activate the light source 413.

The light cartridge 411 may be made of a durable but lightweight material. Preferably, the lamp cartridge 411 is made of a transparent or translucent material to be suitable for light penetration. Accordingly, the lamp cartridge 411 has two side slots 4111, wherein two insertion arms 4112 extend from the elastic arm 242 to slidably insert into the side slots 4111, respectively, so as to support the light indicator 41 in the bouncing cavity 23 of the bouncing unit 20. Preferably, the two insertion arms 4112 integrally extend from the elastic arm 242 and extend toward each other in alignment to detachably engage with the lamp cartridge 411. As shown in fig. 7, the light box 411 further has a closed cavity for accommodating the power source 412 and the light source 413 therein, and a foldable door detachably coupled to an opening of the closed cavity to seal the power source 412 and the light source 413 therein.

The power source 412 is implemented as a battery compartment for receiving replaceable batteries therein that are electrically connected to the light source 413 and the motion sensor 414. Preferably, the light source 413 comprises one or more diodes connected to the power source 412 to produce a lighting effect, such as a flashing or color changing effect. The motion sensor 414 is built into the light source 413 to form a single indicator module that is housed and protected within the light box 411. Thus, when the user uses the bouncing shoe pull of the present invention, the motion sensor 414 will monitor the movement of the user through the shoe pull 10, such that the light source 413 is activated to produce a lighting effect to make the bouncing shoe pull visible. In one embodiment, two indicator modules, i.e. two power sources 412, two light sources 413 and two motion sensors 414 are separately housed in two closed cavities of the light box 411, and two foldable doors are detachably closed at openings of the two closed cavities.

The safety unit 40 further includes an overbending limiter 42 to prevent each of the upper and lower

elastic members

21 and 21 from being excessively bent. The over-bend limiter 42 is supported within the bounce cavity 23 to limit a distance between the upper and lower

elastic members

21 and 22 when the upper and lower

elastic members

21 and 22 are bent toward each other. Accordingly, the over-bending limiter 42 includes an upper stopper 421 extending upward from the lamp housing 411 toward the lower side of the upper elastic member 21, and a lower stopper 422 extending downward from the lamp housing 411 toward the upper side of the lower elastic member 22. When the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22 are bent toward each other by the downward pressure of the shoe slipper 10, the free end of the upper stopper 421 will press against the upper elastic member 21, and the free end of the lower stopper 422 will press against the lower elastic member 22. The upper and

lower stops

421 and 422 will prevent the upper and lower

resilient members

21 and 22 from bending from the arcuate configuration to the flat configuration. In other words, the distance between the free ends of the upper stop 421 and the lower stop 422 will limit the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22 from bending close to each other, thereby preventing the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22 from bending excessively under the excessive downward pressure of the user. Preferably, the upper stopper 421 and the lower stopper 422 are made of a shock-absorbing material and are integrally formed with the lamp housing 411. When the light indicator 41 is supported in the bounce cavity 23, the upper stop 421 and the lower stop 422 are aligned up and down at the center of the bounce cavity 23.

Accordingly, the upper stop 421 and the lower stop 422 extend in the middle of the lamp holder 411 in the opposite direction to the vertical direction of the lamp holder 411, wherein the two side grooves 4111 extend in alignment with each other in the plane transverse direction of the lamp holder 411, and the closed cavity is formed in alignment with each other in the plane longitudinal direction of the lamp holder 411.

According to this embodiment, the safety unit 40 further includes a reinforcement 43 disposed on the upper elastic member 21 to prevent the upper elastic member 21 from being abruptly collapsed. When an excessive downward force is applied to the upper elastic member 21, the upper elastic member 21 is bent from its arc-shaped configuration to cause a sudden collapse of the upper elastic member 21. The reinforcement 43 will reinforce the strength of the upper elastic member 21 to prevent it from being excessively bent and prevent the upper elastic member 21 from being abruptly collapsed. In one embodiment, the stiffener 43 is made of an elastic material such as a metal plate and is coupled to an upper side of the upper elastic member 21. For example, the reinforcement 43 may be a metal plate that is overlapped and attached to the upper side and/or the lower side of the upper elastic member 21. It is worth mentioning that the reinforcement 43 may be a rim coupled to an outer edge of the upper elastic member 21. Alternatively, the reinforcing member 43 may be a metal rim attached to both longitudinal edges of the upper elastic member 21. The reinforcing member 43 may be embedded in the upper elastic member 21 when the upper elastic member 21 is machined.

Fig. 8 shows a deformation of the elastic force holder 24A, and the elastic force holder 24A holds the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22 in a state of maintaining the shape of the bound chamber 23. Accordingly, the elastic force holder 24A includes two end holders 241A and two elastic arms 242A, each of the end holders 241A holds two corresponding ends of the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22, and the two elastic arms 242A extend in parallel to each other and integrally between the two end holders 241A to maintain a distance between the two end holders 241A.

Each of the end retainers 241A includes an end cover 2411A having a "V" -shaped structure, and two side walls 2412A integrally formed at both sides of the end cover 2411A to form an end cavity in the end cover 2411A and the side walls 2412A, wherein end portions of the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22 are received in the end cavity of each of the end retainers 241A.

As shown in fig. 8, two side walls 2412A are formed by recessing two side walls of the end cover 2411A, so that the side walls 2412A are disposed in the bounce cavity 23. The resilient arms 242A extend integrally between the side walls 2412A of the end retainers 241A, wherein each resilient arm 242A extends from the side wall 2412A of one end retainer 241A to the side wall 2412A of the other end retainer 241A. In other words, the elastic arm 242A extends inside the bounce cavity 23 to maintain the distance between the two end retainers 241A. Referring to fig. 6, the distance between the two elastic arms 242 is slightly larger than the width of the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22. As shown in fig. 8, the distance between the two elastic arms 242A is smaller than the width of each of the upper elastic member 21 and the lower elastic member 22. Therefore, the side surface of the bouncing shoe slipper is not provided with a protrusion, so that the user is prevented from stumbling by any side protrusion of the bouncing shoe slipper.
