Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shoe with a spring beneath a rear end of a shoe, and in particular to a spring shoe for a balance correction which facilitates the sole of a user to have a uniform elastic load while ensuring that noises do not occur when the spring is compressed in such a way that the upper side and the lower side of the spring are maintained horizontal eve when a vertical load is applied.
  • a spring shoe is generally installed beneath a shoe and is configured to absorb the impacts from the ground when a user walks.
  • the recent spring shoe is changing to different spring shoes with the aid of various ideas; however most of the newly developed spring shoes is configured in such a way that a spring is positioned between a sole of the shoe and a bottom plate of the shoe coming into direct contact with the ground, and it is fixed to beneath the sole of the sole or the bottom plate of the shoe by way of an engaging element such as a bolt, etc at the center of the spring.
  • the spring shoe can be manufactured, but it is hard to repair the shoe when the spring is defective or it is needed to exchange the spring.
  • the fixing plate is detachably engaged using a screw to beneath the rear end or the bottom plate of the shoe so as to support the upper and lower end portions of the spring, and the end of the spring is inserted into the fixing plate by way of a snug fit method.
  • the spring shoe has a problem that the end of the spring might escape when the sole of the shoe and the bottom plate of the shoe are over distorted, so the spring shoe has a problem in safety. Since the upper and lower ends of the spring are fixedly engaged to the sole and the bottom plate, exchanging the spring and adjusting the spring balance to match with the physical status of the user are impossible.
  • the bottom plate supporting the spring is separate from the sole of the shoe, the bottom plate used to bend or used to wear easily when in use.
  • the present invention is made to improve the above mentioned problems.
  • a spring shoe for a balance correction comprising a shoe rear side bottom plate which is made from a rigid synthetic resin material and is engaged to a rear side of a lower surface of a shoe outer leather and has an engaging groove which is downwardly open at a rear, lower surface; a shoe front side bottom plate which is engaged to a front side of a lower surface of the shoe outer leather in a shape that the rear side covers the front side of the shoe rear side bottom plate; a coil spring which is formed with its width being gradually reduced from a lower side to an upper side; an upper side holder plate which is integrally formed at an upper side of the coil spring and is inserted into the engaging groove in a state that it does not rotate; a spring holder which has an integrally formed lower side holder plate in order for the lower side of the coil spring to be horizontal; an engaging part which sequentially passes through the shoe outer leather and the engaging groove and is inserted into the screw groove formed at the center of the upper side holder plate with its head being caught on the shoe outer leather
  • a cross groove is formed on the surface of the engaging groove, and a cross protrusion is formed on an upper surface of the holder plate of the upper side, so the rotations can be prevented when engaging them.
  • a protrusion-shaped intermediate key is protruded from a lower surface of a front side of the shoe rear side bottom plate, and a screw groove is formed at both sides about the intermediate key; and a key groove is formed at the bent end of the bottom plate, with the intermediate key being inserted into the key groove, and a bolt hole is formed at both sides for a bolt screw-engaged in the screw groove to pass.
  • the present invention is directed to provide a uniform elastic force when a vertical load occurs in such a way to integrally engage upper and lower holder plates to the upper and lower sides of a coil spring while adjusting the thicknesses of the upper and lower holder plates.
  • the assembly is easy, and the unit cost can be greatly reduced.
  • the spring shoe of the present invention comprises a shoe upper leather 100, a shoe rear side bottom plate 200 engage to the bottom of a rear side of the shoe outer leather 100, a shoe front side bottom plate 300 engaged to the bottom of a front side of the shoe outer leather 100, a spring holder 400 engaged to the bottom of the shoe rear side bottom plate 200, an engaging part 500 engaging the spring holder 400 to the shoe rear side bottom plate 200, and a bottom plate 600 one end of which is engaged to one side of the shoe rear side bottom plate 200, and the other end of which is engaged to the bottom of the spring holder 400.
  • the shoe outer leather 100 represents a typical shoe accommodating a use's foot and protecting it and can be separated into a front side and a rear side about the center of the sole of the user.
  • the shoe rear side bottom plate 200 is made from a rigid synthetic resin material and is integrally engaged to the rear side of the bottom of the shoe outer leather 100 by a typical bonding method.
  • an engaging grove 220 with a cross groove 222 is downwardly open on the bottom of the rear side of the shoe rear side bottom plate 200, and at its front side are formed an intermediate key 242 and a screw groove 252 at both sides about the intermediate key 252.
  • a bolt hole 260 through which the engaging part 500 passes is formed at the center of the engaging groove 220 defining the shoe rear side bottom plate 200.
  • the shoe front side bottom plate 300 is made from a synthetic resin material and is integrally engaged to the front side of the bottom of the shoe outer leather 100 in a typical bonding method with its rear side covering the front side of the shoe rear side bottom plate 200.
  • the spring holder 400 is configured to provide an elastic force to a wearer and comprises a coil spring 420 the width of which is gradually reduced from its lower side to an upper side, an upper side holder plate 440 which is integrally formed at the top of the coil spring 420 and has on its upper surface a cross protrusion 442 inserted into the engaging groove 220 and inserted into the cross groove 222, and a lower side holder plate 460 which is integrally formed for the lower side of the coil spring 420 to be horizontal.
  • the lower side holder plate 460 and the upper side holder plate 440 are placed in parallel upward and downward and are integrally engaged to the upper and lower sides of the coil spring 420.
  • the upper and lower side holder plates 440 and 460 are preferably formed along with the coil spring 420 during the formation process.
  • the cross groove 222 means a quadrangle groove 222a or four long grooves 22b outwardly prolonged from the corners or sides of the quadrangle groove 222a
  • the cross protrusion 442 means a quadrangle groove 442a or four protrusions 442b prolonged from the corners or sides of the quadrangle groove 442a.
  • the quadrangle protrusion 442a of the cross protrusion 442 fits the quadrangle groove 222a of the cross groove 222, the four protrusions 442b are inserted into the four long grooves 222b, thus preventing the rotations.
  • the above described construction is provided for obtaining a stable fixing force and a fixing force in an easier way.
  • the engaging part 500 sequentially passes through the shoe outer leather 100 and the cross groove 222 and is inserted into the screw groove 444 formed at the center of the cross protrusion 442 with the head part of it being caught on the bottom surface of the shoe outer leather 100.
  • the bottom plate 600 is made of a rigid or soft synthetic resin material and features in that one side is bent for thereby forming a bent end 620, and a key groove 662 is protruded from the bent end 620 for an insertion into the intermediate key 242, and a bolt hole 624 is formed at both side in order for the bolt 660 inserted into the screw groove 252 to pass, and the other side is integrally engaged to the lower surface of the lower side holder plate 460.
  • the bent end 620 is preferably made from a smooth material.
  • the upper side holder plate 440 is engaged at the upper side of the coil spring 420, and the lower side holder plate460 is engaged to the lower side, so they are integrally engaged.
  • the thicknesses of the upper and lower side holder plates 440 and 460 are adjusted and formed so that the load can be uniformly applied to the coil spring 420 when a vertical load is applied to the upper side holder plate 40.
  • the portion where greater load is applied is made to get gradually thicker, and the portion where smaller load is applied is made to get gradually thinner, so when the load generates at the upper and lower side surfaces, the coil spring 420 can be always uniformly compressed and recovered.
  • the bottom plate 600 is integrally bonded to the lower surface of the lower side holder plate 460 forming the spring holder 400.
  • the shoe rear side bottom plate 200 is engaged to the lower surface of the shoe outer leather 100
