Abstract
Description
- Walking is known to require protection of the feet by some form of footwear such as shoes.
- Shoes, however, practically enclose the foot in a chamber that retains perspiration and warmth.
- It often follows that this condition provokes aching, overheating, unpleasant odours, inflammation.
- To overcome these drawbacks soles have been devised complete with means providing ventilation between the foot and the shoe, or physical means, such as filtering membranes, or mechanical means.
- Such means, however, cannot at present provide more ventilation per step than one cm3 while at least 10 cm3 per step would be needed.
- Since the effort required to obtain this ventilation is made by the weight of the body as the pressing force and lowering of the sole as movement, it follows that the sole must be adequately lowered
- In hot climates and during the stresses set up by sports activity, much better ventilation is obviously required.
- A ventilated shoe is known from EP-A-0 910 964.
- The above invention not only makes possible a far greater quantity of air transpired at each step, but also creates a cushioning effect as will now be explained.
- Subject of the invention is an adjustable transpiring and cushioning shoe comprising the features of claim 1. The sole comprises an insole with through holes forming the bottom of the shoe, a tread with one-way expulsion valves and an intermediate elastic structure containing a plurality of small chambers side by side each of which communicates, by means of a one-way valve here called a suction valve, with the inside of the shoe and by means of an expulsion valve with the outside.
- When the foot presses the ground, causing said intermediate structure to yield by compression and flexion, at each step there is automatic closure of said suction valves, compression of the air contained in the chambers and its expulsion outside through the expulsion valves.
- When the foot leaves the ground the expulsion valves automatically close and the suction valves automatically open thus transferring the air, mixed with perspiration and heat, from inside the shoe into the chambers through said suction valves connected to the holes in the insole.
- The chambers are preferably obtained in their full height from the intermediate structure comprising an upper base, thin peripheral and internal ribs, glued onto the tread.
- The suction valves are formed of fine tubes in a single piece with the intermediate structure, placed substantially alongside an inner wall of the ribs and open at the top at the position of the holes that pass through the insole.
- Placed on the inside surface of the tread, in line with and at a short distance from each of said tubes, are raised cone-shaped protrusions the mean diameter of which corresponds to the inner diameter of said tubes, so that when the foot begins to apply pressure to the ground, and due to elastic flexion of the intermediate structure, the ends of said tubes, making contact with said protrusions, cause said suction valves to close.
- In one execution the tubes that form the suction valves can be replaced by ducts made inside the ribs of the intermediate sructure.
- According to the type of execution, the ribs on the intermediate structure can be inclined or curved to facilitate flexion under pressure from the foot.
- The expulsion valves are preferably membranes with cross cuts the thickness of which is greater, and their height lesser, the greater is the force programmed for causing them to open.
- According to the type of execution the membranes can be discoid, cone-shaped, cap-shaped.
- Dimensions of the decisive parts of the sole, such as its height, the height of the intermediate elastic structure, rib thickness, volume of the chambers, dimensions and thicknesses of the suction and expulsion valves and therefore the volumes of transpiration air and forces needed to operate said valves, are all pre-set according to the type of shoe and therefore according to what is required to withstand stresses created during sports, military uses, ordinary walking, use by children, for high boots, for orthopaedic purposes.
- The invention offers evident advantages.
- The quantity of heated air mixed with perspiration removed from the shoe by suction at each step, that can be estimated at between 10 and 350 cm3, is considerably more than is needed to eliminate the amount of heat and perspiration that forms inside a shoe even under highly stressed conditions.
- Elimination of heat from the feet keeps them cool while elimination of perspiration keeps them dry.
- By suitably calculating the dimensions of the decisive parts of the sole, a cushioning effect can also be calculated.
- In conclusion, deambulation, both in highly stressed conditions of effort and heat as well as in ordinary walking, can be undertaken with greatly increased comfort by the wearer of these shoes.
- Characteristics and purposes of the invention will be made still clearer by the following examples of its execution illustrated by diagrammatically drawn figures.

- Fig. 10 The detail in Figure 9 seen from below.
- The
shoe 10 made to withstand high stresses (Figure 1) presents an upper 11 and a sole 15 consisting of theinsole 20,tread 40 andelastic structure 25. - Said
structure 25 comprises theperipheral ribs 30, a network oftransversal ribs 31,valve bodies 32 withcylindrical holes 33 and thesmall chambers 38 formed by said ribs, open towards thetread 40. - The
tread 40 comprises externally thetransversal channels 41 and, between one channel and another, thecylindrical holes 45 situated substantially in the centre of thechambers 38 of themembrane 50. - Said
holes 45 are closed by the conical expulsion valves withmembrane 50, with thetop 51 facing towards the outside of the tread, and withcross cuts - As the cuts are made in elastic material on the inside of the cone, the edges of the cut close hermetically when external pressure is greater than pressure from inside the shoe.
- Inside the
tread 40 are thevalve heads 34 of thevalve bodies 32 in theintermediate structure 25. - Said
valve heads 34 are cone-shaped and are placed in line with saidvalve bodies 32, together forming thesuction valves 35. - The
insole 20 presents, in line with thevalve bodies 32,holes 21 diameter of which is the same as that of saidvalve bodies 32. - The
holes 21 in theinsole 20 and theholes 33 in thevalve bodies 32 and in thevalve heads 34 present the same geometrical axis (shown as AA in Figures 2 and 3). - This axis lies substantially in the centre of each
transversal channel 41 of thetread 40. - The
holes 45 in the tread for conicalmembrane expulsion valves 50, crossed by axes BB in Figures 2 and 3, are situated substantially in the centre of thechambers 38 in theintermediate structure 25 and therefore between onechannel 41 and another. - Both the
intermediate structure 25 and thetread 40 are respectively made in a single piece of suitably elastic plastic material. - It will be clear from the foregoing that when, during deambulation, the
shoe 10 worn by the person rests on the ground, this will cause compression and deformation of theribs valve bodies 32. - Matching between the ends of the
valve bodies 32 andvalve heads 34, and therfore closure of thevalves 35 formed by these parts, consequently causes theair 6 in thechambers 38 to flow out through the cone-shaped valves 50 in the tread 40 (Figure 3). - When the foot leaves the ground, the
ribs valve bodies 33 and the cone-shaped valves 50 tend to resume their original shape, namely opening of thevalves 35 and closure of thevalves 50, so creating a depression inside thechambers 38, and therefore suction through thevalve bodies 33 andholes 21 in theinsole 20, of heated air containing perspiration from inside theshoe 10. - It follows that, at each step, there will be high degree of ventilation from the shoes with/ a flow of air far greater than can be obtained with present footwear, as well as an efficacious cushioning effect.
- The ventilating and cushioning effect can be adjusted by applying suitable dimensions to the chambers, to the
intermediate structure 25, to thickness of the peripheral ribs and those inside thevalves - Figure 8 shows a
walking shoe 60 with an upper 61 and sole 65. - The sole 65 is substantially the same as the sole 15 for the
shoe 10 but dimensions are smaller. - Said sole 65 presents an
insole 70,intermediate structure 75 andtread 85. - The
insole 70 presentsholes 71. - The
intermediate structure 75 presentsribs 76, chambers 80 andvalve bodies 77 withcylindrical holes 78. - The
tread 85 presents cone-shaped membrane valves 90 for expulsion withorthogonal cuts holes 86. - Said valves are thinner 95 and higher 96 than the
membrane valves 50 in thetread 40 of theshoe 10. - As said
valves 90 in theshoe 60 open at the slightest pressure into the chambers 80, these are of the type best suited for ordinary walking, for children, for rubber boots and the like.
