Definitions

  • the invention relates to a footwear of various kind, so structured as to determine the inner foot ventilation during the deambulatory movement thereof, in order that to permit it to perspire and therefore to be maintaned at satisfactory hygienical conditions.
  • the footwears of various kind like shoes, boots and the like are generally shaped to house feet of different forms and sizes and to be adapted thereon, so as to permit an easy deambulation without deformations and fatiguings thereof, and they are often not suitable to permit an effective perspiration of the sweats and odours produced during the continuous feet deambulatory movements, and originated by the shape of footwears which enclose almost entirely each foot, by avoiding an air circulation inside them.
  • the present invention has the object to eliminate the above specified drawbacks and limits, by means of a new type of footwear for general use, which is constructed for providing a continuous foot ventilation during the deambulatory movements thereof, thereby ensuring an effective perspiration and maintaining at dried and satisfactory hygienic conditions thereof.
  • a ventilated footwear 10 in accordance to the invention which may be constituted by a shoe, a boot and the like, and is shaped in such a way as to provide an inner ventilation of the foot introduced therein in the course of the deambulatory movements of such foot, in order to permit a continuous perspiration thereof which maintains it therefore at satisfactory hygienic conditions.
  • such footwear is substantially constituted as usual by a vamp 11 and a sole 12, joined to the vamp in a per se known manner and laying onto the soil, which sole is divided in a front portion 13 to rest the foot body and the relative toes thereon, and a back portion or heelpiece 14 to rest the foot heel thereon.
  • Such sole 12 is made of material of conventional type and advantageously of rubber or elastomeric material of other kind having elasticity and yielding characteristics, preferably integrally molded with commonly known working techniques.
  • the sole is provided with at least an inner air circulation duct, marked with the reference numeral 15, which extends almost for the entire lenght of the sole front portion 13, from the zone in which the foot toes and the associated foot body are resting on the same sole, up to the level of the heelpiece 14.
  • such heelpiece 14 is made as usual with a reticulated structure composed namely of a set of vertical ribs 16, parallel and adequately spaced from each other as well as oriented transversally with respect to the extent of the sole 13, and by one or more vertical ribs 17 parallel and spaced from each other and intersecting almost orthogonally the preceding ribs, in such a way as to be oriented for the sole extent and to form together with such preceding ribs correspondent recessed zones which, unlike the hitherto known solutions in which they were separated thereamong, in this case are put into communication by means of a plurality of notches or perforations 18 provided on the ribs referred to.
  • the present footwear is also constituted by at least a resilient membrane 22 applied below the heelpiece 14 and so dimensioned as to be adapted to it for the entire size thereof, as well as to enclose sealingly the inner chamber of the same heelpiece, and by at least another resilient membrane 23 applied below the sole front portion 13, at the level of the through hole 21, by enclosing sealingly the same hole for the entire size thereof, so as to delimit an inner chamber, such membranes being made of rubber or other suitable flexible and yieldable elastomeric material.
  • the foot body and toes are submitted to a continuous circulation of the so compressed air, thereby permitting a steady perspiration thereof which maintains them always at satisfactory hygienic conditions, which circumstance involves also the advantage to determine a smaller absorption of foot sweat by the undersole element or any insole applied thereon, with a reduction or almost complete elimination of odours and a longer duration of footwears and any insoles.
  • each footwear of this kind may be provided also with at least a respective non-return valve (not shown), associated to the through holes 20 ans 21, to permit air to pass in the above indicated circulation direction D and prevent it from passing in the opposite direction thereof.
  • the air circulation duct 15 of such footwear isn't more provided on the sole front portion 13, which therefore is made in a conventional manner, but it is provided on the lower surface of a separated insole 24 shaped in such a way as to be adapted on the entire sole upper surface and fixed adequately thereto, preferably by means of glueing, and subsequently covered by the correspondent undersole element, said duct being extended almost centrally for a portion of the lenght of such separated insole 24 and joined at its one end to a lenghtened hollow 25 also provided on the insole lower surface, at the level of heelpiece 14 of the underlying footwear, and communicating with the relative inner chamber of such heelpiece, as well as provided with at least a through hole 27 correspondent with an additional through hole (not shown) provided on the overlying undersole element and foresees for the
  • the other end of the duct 15 is joined to at least a through hole 28 provided through the insole 24, at the zone of the foot front body and toes, and coincident with a further through hole (not shown) provided through the overlying undersole element.
  • insole lends itself to be advantageously employed in combination with footwears of reduced thickness which, even if consumed on periods of time shorter than the thicker ones, do not determine the interruption of the air circulation system, thereby ensuring always the pumping effect thereof and therefore an effective ventilation action inside the footwears.
  • Figs. 7 and 8 it is now illustrated a third embodiment of the invention, in which it is noted that the foot and toes ventilation is obtained in this case by utilizing a separated insole 29 again, shaped in a manner different than the preceding one and such that to be adapted onto all the upper surface of the sole of a footwear of conventional type, and to be laid removably thereon, such insole being provided as usual with a plurality of through holes 30 distributed for the entire surface thereof and, according to the innovative characteristic of the invention, a set of ducts 31 extended in the longitudinal direction of the insole, preferably parallel and slightly spaced from each other, and hollowed on the insole lower surface as well as crossed by corresponding sets of through holes 30 of this latter, one end of which ducts may communicate or not communicate with and enlarged and common hollow 32, also provided on the lower surface of said insole and extended transversally thereto, in correspondence of the foot front body and toes, which hollow is crossed by an associated set of through holes 30 of the insole, and the other end
  • Such ducts may be also associated with correspondent ducts (not shown) provided on the sole upper surface.
  • the back portion of the insole 29 resting on the heelpiece is additionally provided with at least a through hole 33 having adequate size, correspondent with an identical hole (not shown) provided on the underlying sole, adapted to permit the air conveyed through the ducts 31 to enter and leave it during the foot deambulatory movements, with consequent ventilation of the same foot.
  • This insole is advantageously combined with thiner footwears, however under achievement of a milder ventilation action owing to the air dispersed through the different through holes 30 of the same insole.
