Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a footwear structure with improved comfortableness.
  • Second means for collecting and transferring moisture from the inside of the upper to the aforesaid seat are present within the footwear, which means conveys, during a walk, moist air present within the upper to the seat made within the sole. Then, moist air goes from the inside of the seat into the container through the holes made thereon, thus coming into contact with the material capable to absorb moisture; such material, reacting with moisture present in the air, causes formation of a liquid, mainly composed of water, that is collected within the seat, which thus operates as gathering tank.
  • Third means for continuously and unidirectionally draining the liquid gathered within the seat are also present, that is constituted of a sloping duct made within the sole and communicating with the bottom of the seat, which makes the latter communicate with the outside environment; such duct typically arrives at the outside of the sole in correspondence of the lower surface of the same, in the heel front zone, thus resulting in being spaced apart from ground and scarcely visible from outside.
  • a unidirectional valve is associated with such duct allowing liquid to pass only from the seat towards the outside of the sole.
  • Document FR 2 695 303 A1 discloses a footwear structure comprising an upper with which a sole is associated, further comprising a box-type body, containing one dehumidifier, an inlet being kept open, during impact of the shoe on the ground, the inlet corresponding with the inside of the upper.
  • Document US 2 266 476 A discloses a shoe with built-in means for setting up a circulation of air through the interior of the shoe to cool the foot.
  • the main goal of what is the subject matter of the present invention is that of solving the illustrated technical problem, by avoiding the drawbacks of the cited prior art and thus conceiving a solution that allows moisture inside a footwear to be reduced and the user's comfort to be improved, and formation of bad smells, moulds and fungi to be eliminated, all above for a long time, also independently from the use of the footwear.
  • Another important object is that of making a solution wherein reduction of moisture within a footwear can be attained for a long time, without requiring a frequent replacement of one or more parts of the same footwear.
  • Still an important object is that of making a solution maintaining previous characteristics even in the case where the footwear is to be used in the mud.
  • reference number 1 indicates a first embodiment of a footwear structure according to the invention comprising an upper, not represented in the attached figures, to which a sole 2 is associated, starting from the upper surface of which, in the heel zone, a seat 3 is made, that is open upwards, advantageously but not necessarily having a substantially rectangular conformation according to a plan view.
  • a first box-type body 4 that is hollow and open upwards, may be removably housed within the seat 3, advantageously, but not necessarily, having a substantially parallelepiped conformation; alternatively the first box-type body 4 may have for instance a prismatic or cylindrical conformation.
  • the first box-type body 4 has an upper perimeter edge 5 from which a perimeter projection 6, having a substantially plate conformation, radially projects, towards the outside of the same edge.
  • the first box-type body 4 has a side surface 7 wherein one or more first through holes 8 are made; in the exemplary embodiment shown in the attached figures they are made in two mutually parallel walls constituting the side surface 7 close to the upper perimeter edge 5.
  • a first perimeter notch or scarcement, defining a first perimeter substantially vertical ledge 10, is made on the outer surface of the bottom 9 of the first box-type body 4, in correspondence with the perimeter edge of the same.
  • a first through aperture 11 is made in the bottom 9 of the first box-type body 4, advantageously substantially at the centre thereof, that communicates with an underlying moisture gathering tank 12, removably downwards associatable with the first box-type body 4.
  • the tank 12 advantageously has, according to a plan view, a substantially counter-shaped conformation in respect to the bottom 9 of the first box-type body 4, and hence, in the exemplary embodiment shown in the attached figures, the same is substantially parallelepiped.
  • the interconnection between the bottom 9 of the first box-type body 4 and the tank 12 is allowed by the fact that the latter has, in correspondence with the inner perimeter edge of the free ends of the side walls, a second scarcement defining a second substantially vertical ledge 14, that engages, when in use, with the counter-shaped first ledge 10 of the bottom 9 of the first box-type body 4.
  • the projection of the second ledge 14 onto the horizontal plane advantageously falls within the projection of the first ledge 10 onto the same plane, and hence such first and second ledges may be mutually associated only through a preliminary elastic flexure of the side walls 13 of the tank 12 towards the outside of the latter; the side walls 13 hence tend, when in use, to elastically return to their indeformated configuration, thus pressing the second ledges 14 against the first ledge 10 and thus temporarily removably constraining, by means of friction, the tank 12 against the first box-type body 4.
  • a second box-type body 15 that is hollow and open upwards, is associated in a sliding way within the first box-type body 4, bucking an elastically deformable element, within which second box-type body a material capable to absorb moisture, not shown in the attached figures, constituted for instance of silica gel, is positionable.
  • the second box-type body 15 is substantially counter-shaped, according to a plan view, in respect to the bottom 9 of the first box-type body 4, hence being, in the exemplary embodiment shown in the attached figures, substantially parallelepiped.
  • a third scarcement defining a third perimeter ledge 18 is made on the side surface 16 of the second box-type body 15, internally to the same and starting from the upper perimeter edge 17 of the same.
  • One or more second through holes 19 are made in the side surface 16 of the second box-type body 15, which are positioned so as to be, in walking phase, facing the first holes 8 of the first box-type body 4 and communicating with the inside of the upper, in a position also called active.
  • the upper perimeter edge 17 of the second box-type body 15 is positioned substantially in the same lie plane of the perimeter projection 6 of the first box-type body 4.
  • a third through hole 21 is made in the bottom 20 of the second box-type body 15, in respect to which one or more second through apertures 22 are made sideways, which have, in the exemplary embodiment shown in the attached figures, a substantially rectangular conformation according to a plan view.
  • the second box-type body 15 is closed upwards by a lid 23 having a plate conformation and size such to be positioned with its perimeter edge engaging the third ledge 18 made on the side surface 16, radially pressing the side walls of the same, and temporarily constraining it by means of friction.
  • a valve 24 for closing the first aperture 11 of the first box-type body 4 is associated with the bottom 20 of the second box-type body 15, that is activatable as the second box-type body 15 reaches the aforesaid active position.
  • the closing valve 24 is constituted of a preferably cylindrical stem 25, of diameter larger than the third hole 21 and lower than that of the first aperture 11, on the side surface of which an annular groove 26 is made, in the proximity of its upper end facing the lid 23, having diameter lower than the diameter of the third hole 21, so as to be able to be positioned internally to the same constraining the position of the valve 24 in respect to the second box-type body 15.
  • the upper end of the stem 25 is substantially hemispherical so as to facilitate its unidirectional passage through the third hole 21.
  • the stem 25 sets itself, when in use, internally to the first aperture 11, from which its lower end protrudes towards the tank 12, with which lower end a washer or small disk 27 of diameter larger than that of the same first aperture 11 is associated.
  • the aforesaid elastically deformable element advantageously constituted of a spring 28, set coaxially to the valve 24, is interposed between the bottom 20 and the bottom 9, of respectively the second box-type body 15 and the first box-type body 4.
  • Means, of known type, for collecting and transferring moisture from the inside of the upper to the seat 3 is present within said sole 2, which means advantageously comprises a plurality of partitioning baffles 29, defined within the sole 2 and which extend towards the front of the seat 3 and substantially in the zone of the arch and the front foot, which baffles are substantially placed transversely to the same sole 2; the first one of the partitioning baffles 29 delimits a wall 30 of the seat 3.
  • the partitioning baffles 29 subdivide the sole 2 into a series of chambers 31, that are open upwards, communicating with each other through proper slits 32 made starting from the upper perimeter edge of the same partitioning baffles 29; the slits 32 are also made in the partitioning baffle 29 defining the wall 30 of the seat 3.
  • small tubes 33 are positioned within the slits 32 of the partitioning baffle 29 defining the wall 30 and of one or more partitioning baffles 29 consecutive thereto, capable to guide the air to the seat 3, which have, in their side surface, third apertures 34.
  • the footwear structure 1 further comprises an inner sole 35, superimposable to the sole 2 so as to rest on the latter in correspondence of its rear zone, of the upper perimeter edge of the partitioning baffles 29, and of the inner perimeter edge of the same sole 2.
  • the inner sole 35 has, in the heel zone, a fourth hole 36 placed, when in use, upwards in respect to the seat 3 of the sole 2, so as to allow the first box-type body 4 along with the associated second box-type body 15 and tank 12 to access and be positioned within the same.
  • the first box-type body 4 is arranged, when in use, nearly wholly inside the seat 3, protruding from the same only with the perimeter projection 6, that is supported by the upper surface of the inner sole 35, in correspondence with the perimeter edge of the fourth hole 36.
  • Two slots, indicated by the reference numbers 37a and 37b respectively, are further made in the inner sole 35, from each one of which a substantially rectilinear slit 38a, 38b extends forward, covering the zone of the foot arch and front; such slots 37a and 37b are placed so that when the inner sole 35 is superimposed to the sole 2, they are positioned in correspondence with the third apertures 34 of the two small tubes 33, respectively.
  • a plurality of fifth holes 39 are further made in the inner sole 35, in the proximity of the slits 38a and 38b.
  • a removable insole 40 is positionable upon the inner sole 35, in which insole sixth holes 41 are made, for instance in the zone of the heel and foot front, which are preferably mutually interconnected through suitable grooves, not shown in the attached figures, made in the lower surface of the insole 40 facing, when in use, the inner sole 35.
  • the small tubes 33 along with the slits 29, the slots 37a and 37b, the slits 38a and 38b, the fifth holes 39 and the sixth holes 41 contribute to constitute the aforesaid means, of known type, for collecting and transferring moisture from the inside of the upper to the seat 3.
  • the second holes 19 of the second box-type body 15 are not facing the first holes 8 of the first box-type body 4, being shut by the facing first side wall 7 of this one instead.
  • the washer 27 associated with the valve 24 is also kept pressed, always under the action of the spring 28, against the bottom 9 of the first box-type body 4, thus shutting the first aperture 11 made in the same.
  • the heel of the same presses, through the insole 40, onto the lid 23 and the contiguous upper perimeter edge 17 of the second box-type body 15, pushing the latter, against the action of the spring 28, towards the bottom 9 of the first box-type body 4, until the lid 23 and the upper perimeter edge 17 are positioned substantially on the same plane of the perimeter projection 6, reaching the position that is defined as active.
  • the washer 27 is kept pressed towards the tank 12 and it does not touch the bottom 9, so as not to shut the first aperture 11 made in the same.
  • the moist air contained within the upper is thus conveyed into the seat 3 through the aforesaid means of known type for collecting and transferring moisture from the inside of the upper to the seat 3, and hence it passes, through the first holes 8 and the facing second holes 19, inside the second box-type body 15 containing the material capable to absorb moisture.
  • the liquid accumulated within the tank 12 may be periodically removed by extracting the first box-type body 4 from the seat 3 and then separating the tank 12 from such box-type body 4.
  • the second box-type body 15, containing such material, along with the first box-type body 4 and the tank 12 connected thereto, may be removed and replaced with new similar components.
  • a second embodiment of the container according to the invention differs from the embodiment shown in figures 1-4 , does not comprise the tank 12.
  • such container comprises a first box-type body 4', hollow and open upwards, that may be housed in a corresponding seat of the sole of a footwear structure (not shown in figures 5 and 6 ).
  • the first box-type body 4' has an upper perimeter edge 5' from which a perimeter projection 6', having a substantially plate conformation, radially projects, towards the outside of the same edge.
  • the perimeter projection 6' has, in the inner zone, i.e. adjacent to the upper perimeter edge 5', a notch or scarcement defining a first seat 50 capable to house an element having a substantially plate conformation.
  • the upper perimeter edge 5' has, according to a plan view, a conformation composed of three sides of a rectangle closed, at the fourth side, by an arc.
  • the upper perimeter edge 5' may have, for instance, according to a plan view, a substantially rectangular or circular conformation, and the first box-type body 4' may have a prismatic or cylindrical conformation.
  • the first box-type body 4' has no holes in the side surface 7.
  • a through aperture 11' is made in the bottom 9' of the first box-type body 4', advantageously substantially at the centre thereof.
  • a second box-type body 15' that is hollow and open upwards, is associated in a sliding way within the first box-type body 4, bucking an elastically deformable element, within which second box-type body a material capable to absorb moisture, not shown in the attached figures.
  • the material used in the embodiment of figures 6 and 7 is a material that, thanks to its chemical-physical characteristics, is capable to adsorb the steam present in the environment wherein it is placed, without releasing the adsorbed water. Such property makes a water gathering tank not necessary.
  • the bottom 20' of the second box-type body 15' is substantially counter-shaped, according to a plan view, in respect to the bottom 9' of the first box-type body 4'.
  • the second box-type body 15' has an upper perimeter edge 17' from which a perimeter projection 51, having a substantially plate conformation, radially projects, towards the outside of the same edge, which projection is capable to be housed within the first seat 50 of the first box-type body 4', with which it may possibly elastically interacts.
  • the perimeter projection 51 has, in the inner zone, i.e. adjacent to the upper perimeter edge 17', a notch or scarcement defining a second seat 52 capable to house an element having a substantially plate conformation.
  • the upper perimeter edge 17' of the second box-type body 15' has, according to a plan view, a conformation composed of three sides of a rectangle closed, at the fourth side, by an arc.
  • the upper perimeter edge 17' may have, for instance, according to a plan view, a substantially rectangular or circular conformation, and the first box-type body 4' may have a prismatic or cylindrical conformation.
  • the second box-type body 15' has no holes in the side surface 16'.
  • the second box-type body 15' is provided, below the bottom 20', advantageously substantially at the centre thereof, with a shaped cylindrical pin 53 capable to be inserted into the aperture 11' of the bottom 9' of the first box-type body 4', through which the second box-type body 15' may slide in the first box-type body 4'; in particular, the diameter of the shaped cylindrical pin 53 is lower than the diameter of the aperture 11'.
  • the bottom 20' of the second box-type body 15' further has one or more, preferably circular, through apertures 22'.
  • the second box-type body 15' is closed upwards by a lid 23' having a plate conformation, having preferably such size that it elastically engages through its perimeter edge with the seat 52 of the second box-type body 15', by radially pushing the perimeter projection 51 and the side walls 16' thereof, and by temporarily constraining itself with the seat 52 by means of friction.
  • the pin 53 is positioned, when in use, inside the aperture 11' of the bottom 9' of the first box-type body 4', from which its lower end protrudes downwards, with which a washer or small disk 27' of diameter larger than that of the same aperture 11' is associatable.
  • the washer 27' is preferably removably associated with the pin 53, for instance through suitable projections and corresponding notches of the end of the pin 53 and of the central hole of the washer 27', which allow the washer 27' to be blocked and unblocked from the pin 53.
  • the engagement of the washer 27' with the perimeter edge of the aperture 11' of the first box-type body 4' limits the protrusion of the second box-type body 15' towards the outside of this one, closing the aperture 11' and, consequently, the inside of the second box-type body 15' that is hence not accessible from outside.

  • shutting and opening means may comprise a diaphragm that is kept in a position of closure of a through hole of the box-type body by a spring, that is moved by the pressure of the user's foot, thus opening the hole and making the inside of the box-type body communicating with the inside of the upper.
  • the container may contain, alternatively to or in combination with the dehumidifier material, at least one medicinal material for foot therapy, that is released to air and that, in the active position, reaches the inside of the upper.
  • the dehumidifier material and the medicinal material(s) may be housed in respective separated compartments of the container.
  • the invention has reached the prefixed goal and objects, since it has been conceived a footwear structure allowing to obtain a reduction of moisture inside the upper, so as to improve user's comfort and to eliminate possible formation of bad smells, moulds and fungi. This is particularly advantageous in the case of work shoes, wherein foot perspiration is usually very high, or during winter, since it has been shown that it is just the sweat to make foot cold.
  • the footwear structure according to the invention since it has no ducts connecting the seat with the sole bottom, has no problems related to their possible obstruction.
