Definitions

  • the present invention concerns the technical field relating to the production of shoe soles.
  • the invention relates to the production of a device combined with the shoe sole for ventilating inside the shoe.
  • the main object of the present invention is to propose a device for internal ventilation of a shoe designed to improve the circulation and the exchange therein, especially during walking a, allowing therefore the attainment of comfort and hygienic conditions optimal for the foot contained therein.
  • Another object is to propose a device designed for damping the weight of the body acting on the heel and on the plant of the foot inside the shoe, in particular during walking, so getting a more comfortable shoe usage.
  • Another object of the present invention is to propose a device of simple making, easy installation, sure and of precise use.
  • reference numeral 1 indicates a device for airing or ventilating the inside portion of a shoe, including a vamp, not illustrated, and a sole 2, that has a rear zone, located in correspondence of the heel, a median zone and a front zone.
  • the device 1 is located on the inside surface of the sole, on which is positioned an arch support 6, preferably glued upon the sole 2 in correspondence of the external edges.
  • the arch support 6 is provided with a plurality of airing holes 7a and 7p respectively at the front and rear zone of the sole 2, closed to the heel and phalanxes of the foot supported on the sole 2.
  • the device 1 includes a shaped element 3, interposed between the sole 2 and the arch support 6, that has an air space 8 in the rear zone of the sole 2, acting directly as pumping element or hosing a pump, for instance of the air tube type deformable under pressure.
  • Such air space 8 has a concave upper inner wall 8a and a lower inner wall 8b preferably concave; besides the portion of the shaped element 3 including the inner wall 8b is preferably fixed in front of the upper inner wall 8a of the remaining part of the shaped element 3, in correspondence of the edges, in such a way forming the air space or air tube 8.
  • the air space 8 is provided with a first channel 11 whose first end is in flow communication with the inside of the air space 8 and whose second end is in flow communication with a plurality of throats 13, carried out on the free surface of the shaped element 3, near to the rear zone of the sole 2, and therefore toward the inside of the shoe.
  • Such throats preferably are intersected in such a way to form an open ceiling network in correspondence of the rear zone of the sole 2.
  • the inside of the air space 8 communicates with the first end of a second channel 12, whose second end communicates with the end of a duct 5 that flows longitudinally along the median zone of the sole 2 so putting into flow communication the inside of the air space 8 with a plurality of grooves 4 intercommunicating and disposed on the free surface of the shaped element 3, mainly in correspondence of the front zone of the sole 2.
  • a plurality of grooves 4 intercommunicating and disposed on the free surface of the shaped element 3, mainly in correspondence of the front zone of the sole 2.
  • such grooves 4 intersect for making an open ceiling network spread over the plurality front zone of the sole 2, so forming a plurality of cubed shaped insert 20.
  • the duct 5 is "open ceiling" formed, due to hot pressing reason of the shaped element 3, and it is however covered for making a pipe or through direct affixing of the arch support 6 or previous interposition of a coverage 18, better underlined in figure 6, that above covers the shaped element 3 in correspondence of his rear zone and the median and rear zone and having centring holes matching to corresponding centring pivots 21 staying on the surface of the shaped element 3, preferably in correspondence of the median zone.
  • first valve 9 On the first end, or mouth, of the first channel 11 is carried out a first valve 9, for instance of the membrane type, while at the second end or mouth, of the second channel 12 is coupled a second valve 10, for instance always of the membrane-type.
  • a vamp is commonly attached to the sole 2 for carrying out a related shoe, Known and not shown.
  • the working of the device 1 according to the preferred embodiment is very simple since starting from the condition in which the air space 8 is full of air, and therefore it is expanded, as showed in the figure 2, the pressure of the heel thereon, causes the compression and therefore the simultaneous mouth closing of the first channel 11 by virtue of the first membrane valve 9 and the mouth opening of the second channel 12 by virtue of the second membrane valve 10.
  • the air contained in the air space 8 is progressively pumped from this last through the second channel 12, the duct 5 and the plurality of grooves 4 in such a way to escape from the airing holes 7a and to collide the front part of the foot housed inside the shoe.
  • the air space 8 is released so as to create a depression that simultaneously reverses the membrane valve 9 and 10 working, in particular the second valve 10 closes the mouth of the second channel 12 and the first valve 9 frees the mouth of the first channel 11.
  • the air space 8 acting as pump, sucks up for depression the air coming from the inner rear portion of the shoe, near to the zone in which is placed the foot heel. Such air is sucked into the air space through the holes 7p positioned on the arch support, or on the possible coverage 18, the plurality of communicating throats, the first channel 11 and the first open valve 9
  • a variant of the device 1 has the plurality of throats 13 mainly made by an exit channel 14 in flow communication with the outside of the shoe, preferably coming out from the side wall of the sole or the rear zone of the vamp.
  • the working is identical except that the air introduced into the air space 8 comes from outside of the shoe, therefore the front part of the foot is invested by an air flow deriving directly from the outside of the shoe.
  • a filter 17 can be coupled to such channel 14, said filter being replaceable and fit to filter the incoming air.
  • the device 1 according to the preferred embodiment can be freely inserted into any kind of shoe because it can be supported on the upper inner wall of the sole 2 and/or arch support 6 so acting as a sole for causing the inside ventilation of the shoe.
  • first valve is coupled to the second end of the first channel 11 and is therefore in direct communication with the plurality of throats 13 while the second valve 10 is coupled to the first end of the second channel 12, so being in direct communication with the inner part of the air space 8.
  • first 9 and second 10 disposition the working of the device 1 is inverted with respect to the first embodiment, that is, starting from the condition in which the air space 8 is full of air, and therefore is expanded, as shown in the figure 4, the pressure of the heel thereon causes its compression and therefore the simultaneous closing of the first end, or mouth, of the second channel 12 by virtue of the second membrane valve 10 and the opening of the second end or mouth, of the first channel 11 by virtue of the first membrane valve 9.
  • the air contained in the air space 8 is progressively pumped from this last toward the inner rear portion of the shoe, near to the zone in which the foot heel is placed, through the first channel 11, the plurality of throats 13 and the holes 7p in the pierced arch support 6 and in the possible coverage 18, or in any case toward the outside of the shoe if there is the outlet channel 14.
  • the air space 8 is released and a depression arises so reverting simultaneously the membrane valve 9 and 10 working, particularly the second valve 10 opens the mouth of the second channel 12 and the first valve 9 closes the mouth of the first channel 11.
  • the air space 8 acting as pump, sucks up the air coming from the inner front portion of the shoe, housing the front part of the foot, through the airing holes 7a, the plurality of grooves 4 and the duct 5.
  • inserts 20 are cylindrical shaped rather than cubic shaped, such as in the preferred embodiment, to facilitate the air flow into the plurality of grooves 4.
  • a regulator element of the air flow can be coupled to such exit channel 14 and to such exit duct 19, for instance through a wedge valve, known and not shown.
  • the shaped element 3 has in the front zone of the sole 2 a plurality of hollow 15, interposed between the grooves 4 and disposed near to the upper bottom of the sole 2 in order to make more flexible and comfortable the sole.
  • the free external surface of the sole 2 can have a prominence 16, as shown in the Figures 2 and 4, in correspondence of the air space 8 that can increase its compressibility in correspondence of its pressing.
  • the air space 8 acts as damper for the heel, as it is constituted by a compressible air space, gently yielding, and the shaped element 3 is realised in material relatively elastic and soft.
  • Such devices 1 can be detachably disposed within any common shoe in order to allow the removal for possible washing, cleanliness, substitution, even with orthopedic plantar, or possible reparation, for instance in its more functional portions such as the valves 9 and 10 and the air space or air room 8.
  • the whole device 1 of these embodiments is preferably constituted by polymers based on styrene and butadiene added with organic and inorganic charges and mineral paraffinic oil and dyes, in order to obtain not toxical, anti-allergic, antimicrobial and rabid features, and making it water and putrefaction resistant.
  • perfumed substances for instance talcum pine or lemon powder, can be added to the mixture of this plastic material, so that the device 1 always emanates the essence of these perfumes.
  • such devices 1 is in a single body and is constituted by a single material, comprising the membrane of the valves 9 and 10, and it is therefore without connection or coupling of devices carried out with different materials, for instance brass valves, plastic ducts, and pump made of elastic plastic material, therefore without junction points easily fracturables during the use or as receptacle of microbial and/or bacterial pathogenic elements.
  • the main advantage of the present invention is to have a device for the inner ventilation of a shoe fit to obtain the air circulation and exchange especially during walking, so allowing the attainment of optimal hygienic conditions for the foot and so reaching a better comfort.
  • Another advantage is to have a device fit to damp the weight agent onto the heel and the foot plant, particularly during walking so making more comfortable the shoe use.
  • Other advantage is to furnish a detachable and freely insertable device for any kind of shoe and to be intrinsically perfumed with variously essences and therefore able to release continually the relative fragrances.
  • a further advantage of the present invention is o furnish a device of simple production, of easy installation and maintenance, and sure, precise and reliable use.
