Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shoe that provides an efficient air circulation in the shoe and thus directly at the foot of a wearer of the shoe and at the same time a shock-absorbing function at every step of the running movement.
  • a shoe consists of two main parts, namely the upper part, called the shank, and the lower part, the floor.
  • the shank may include an inner shank (chuck), intermediate shank (intermediate chuck) and outer shank (upper leather).
  • the upper part of the upper includes the front leaf, if necessary with a tongue, the back of the heel and lateral quarters, which adjoin the heel seam.
  • a shaft connected to an insole is called a mounted shaft.
  • the floor may comprise a one-piece or multi-part outsole. Furthermore, the floor may be formed as a flat sole or heel sole.
  • an air pumping means may be provided which is adapted to suck in air from outside the shoe and to expel it into the interior of the shoe, for example via openings in the insole (and if present through openings in other insoles in the shoe).
  • Such an air pumping device is for example in the WO 2014/131698 A1 shown.
  • FIG. 1 of the EP 1 509 100 A1 shows a shoe 100, on whose outsole 110 cavity elements 120 are mounted made of plastic.
  • the cavity members 120 are similar at the front and rear and dampen impacts on a user's foot during walking.
  • the cavity members 120 have open side surfaces, and air is expelled when compressing the cavity members 120 in the course of the walking movement to the outside.
  • a shoe does not allow fresh air ventilation of the interior of the shoe.
  • a shoe in particular a sports shoe with an air pumping device, which is designed to pump air from outside the shoe into the interior of the shoe during a walking movement of a user of the shoe and with an outsole, the outsole having a plurality having first air cushion, which is provided on the outer side of the outsole, which faces during walking to the ground to be walked, are provided, and a plurality of second air cushion, which faces on the outer side of the outsole, which faces during walking to the ground to be walked , and wherein the air pumping device partially extends in at least two of the plurality of first air cushions or partially in at least two of the plurality of second air cushions.
  • the air pump device does not extend into the second but only in the tiniest two of the first air cushions. But it is also conceivable that the air pump device extends into the second air cushion or is in fluid communication with these.
  • the air pump device can be completely embedded in the outsole.
  • the sole construction may be formed as a monobloc sole.
  • the air pumping device may be located exclusively in the outsole, but may also be provided only partially in the outsole and to its other part in the other sole sole construction. It should be noted in this connection that the insole is not understood as a sole part of this sole construction, but as part of the shaft of the shoe.
  • the air pads contact each with their lower surface in use of the shoe the footing trodden by a user of the shoe.
  • the air pumping means may be provided in the heel region of the outsole of the shoe extending from the foot end to the hinge region in the middle hinge region and / or the ball region (forefoot region) extending from the foot front to the hinge region or front region ,
  • the air pump device may be formed as a cavity or as an independent entity, which may comprise a plastic pump reservoir.
  • top refers to locations that are farther away from a substrate that the shoe contacts via the air pads than positions referenced by terms such as below, lower, and so on.
  • the at least two of the plurality of first air cushions can each be at least partially open on at least one side surface if the air pump device is designed as an independent entity.
  • the at least two of the plurality of first air cushions can also be closed on the sides and, for example, have a transparent plastic material on one or more sides.
  • the plurality of second air cushions can each be at least partially open on at least one side surface.
  • Some of the first air cushions, which are different from the at least two of the first air cushions, may be configured like the second air cushions.
  • the first and / or second air cushions may be molded or glued to the sole outsole body.
  • the combination of the air pumping device with the at least two of the plurality of first air cushions and the plurality of second air cushions provides a previously unattained comfort due to a combined efficient fresh air ventilation of the interior of the shoe provided by the air pumping device and shock absorption provided by the first and second Air cushion is provided.
  • the outsole and / or other sole members of the sole construction may have channels for the purpose of fresh air ventilation of the interior of the shoe, and the air pump means is in this case connected to the channels.
  • the air pump device may further be connected to a first air duct and a second air duct connected to the ducts and configured to perform an air pumping function in response to a walking movement of a user of the boot so as to alternately supply air via the at least one first air duct Ingests outside of the shoe and presses air into the channels in communication with the air pump device via the at least one second air duct.
  • a first valve may be arranged, which is designed such that it only allows air to pass into the air pump device in the direction from outside the shoe and / or in the at least one second air guide may be arranged a second valve, which is designed such that it allows air only in the direction from the air pump device to the channels in the interior of the shoe.
  • the valves provided allow efficient control of the air flows through the first air duct into the air pumping device and out of it via the second air duct.
  • the air pumping device may draw air from outside the shoe via said first air supply when the foot is resting on it, it may pump the air into the channels via said second air supply from where they can escape upwards to the user's foot, for example through openings provided in an insole and a sock, for effective ventilation of the user's foot.
  • the first and second air cushion are formed elastically deformable.
  • they can be formed elastically deformable in the vertical direction (from bottom to top) and at the same time in the horizontal direction (in the longitudinal direction).
  • hoses having openings along their longitudinal axes may also be provided upwardly from the air pumping means along the channels into which air is pumped from the air pumping means.
  • the air from the openings of the hoses for example via appropriately provided openings of an insole of the shoe, escape.
  • the hoses can be made of silicone, for example.
  • the part in which the air pump device is formed may be designed to be more elastic than the outsole formed by the air cushions. This more elastic training a pumping effect over the entire sole, ie from the heel on the joint to the bale can be achieved.
  • this elastic part When loaded by the foot of a user in this case, this elastic part is pressed down (towards tread) and Thus, it may actuate the air pumping device to push air out of the air pumping device and through the channels.
  • the air pump device is formed by a cavity, or the air pump device is designed separately as an independent entity and is completely or partially embedded in a cavity of the sole.
  • the cavity of the sole need not be a cavity completely enclosed by the sole, but may at least partially be formed by a saving in the sole.
  • the use of only one formed cavity as the air pumping device simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces the manufacturing cost and can increase the reliability and life of the air pumping device.
  • This cavity is compressed when the foot of a user loads on it, whereby air is forced out of the cavity. If, during walking, the cavity is again relieved of the foot, it expands and, due to the previously created negative pressure, draws in air from the outside, which is freshly available for the subsequent ventilation of the interior of the shoe and thus of the foot of a user.
  • the air pump device can also comprise a plastic pump reservoir as an independent entity. This is compressed when a user's foot rests on it, which squeezes air out of the plastic pump reservoir. If, during walking, the plastic pump reservoir is again relieved of the foot, it expands and, due to the previously created negative pressure, draws in air from the outside, which is freshly available for subsequent ventilation of the interior of the shoe and thus of a user's foot.
  • the formation of the air pump device as a separate entity allows a material selection independent of the sole and in particular material strength.
  • the air pump device may consist of a transparent plastic material and / or self-closing tubing or include this.
  • the air pumping device and the plurality of first air cushions may be located in the heel region of the shoe or the sole, and the plurality of second air cushions may be located in the ball region or in the front region of the shoe or the sole.
  • the air pumping device is designed as a separate entity, a part of the air pumping device can rest without intermediate space on inner walls of the first air cushion. Through openings in side walls of the first air cushion, the air pump device may be visible. These openings may be formed, for example, like a window with at least partially undulating contours. Furthermore, these openings of the first air cushion in the longitudinal direction of the same (the longitudinal direction is from heel to bale) over a length of 1/4 to 2/3 of the length of the first air cushion extend.
  • the shoe as described in the above examples may comprise a shaft having a part near the sole and a part remote from the sole, and the above-mentioned first air guide may be partially along the shaft, in particular through a lining of the stem separated from the foot of the wearer of the shoe, extending from the proximal portion to the distal portion, air can be pumped from the remote portion into the air pumping device.
  • a shoe 10 according to an example of the present invention comprises an outsole with an outsole body 11, with rear air cushions 12a and with front air cushions 12b, the air cushions being attached, for example molded or glued, to the sole body.
  • the entire outsole 11, 12a and 12b could be injected as a monobloc sole.
  • the rear air cushions 12a and front air cushions 12b form the part of the outsole that touches the ground when walking or running.
  • Above the outsole 11, 12a, and 12b is an insole 19, which is not part of the sole construction but part of the shaft.
  • the outsole main body 11 can be made of relatively soft polyurethane, while the rear air cushion 12a and front air cushion 12b can be made of elastic but abrasion-resistant plastic.
  • an air pumping device is formed in the form of a cavity 14 and extends into the rear air cushion 12a. At least the heel region of the outsole body is sufficiently compressible to withstand loading by a user's foot, i. when it shifts its weight on the heel area when walking, it is pressed in, thus reducing the volume of the cavity and forcing air out of the cavity.
  • the shoe 10 further comprises an air supply 15 and a channel 16.
  • a first one-way valve 17a regulates the suction of air from outside the shoe via the air supply 15 into the cavity 14 with relief of the heel area and a second one-way valve 17b controls the flow of the sucked air into the channel 16 when loading the heel area.
  • the air can then reach the fresh air ventilation in the interior of the shoe 10.
  • the shoe 10 comprises an air intake device (Airlntake) 20.
  • the air intake device has an air inlet, can be sucked through the air. The suction of the air takes place via the cavity 14, when it returns in the course of the walking movement with relief of the shoe from its compressed form back to its normal shape.
  • the air inlet device 20 may include an outlet through which water, which may enter via the air inlet, may be discharged outside the shoe.
  • the shoe comprises two different types of air cushions 12a and 12b.
  • the air cushion 12a in the heel area are made of an elastic plastic material and completely closed to the outside. They only open into the cavity 14 or the cavity 14 extends through corresponding openings 21 in the outsole base body 11 into the air cushion 12a.
  • Side surfaces (in FIG. 2 hatched) can be made of a transparent plastic material.
  • the attached in the front region of the shoe 10 air cushion 12b are also made of a resilient plastic material but not completely closed to the outside.
  • the air cushions 12b have through openings 22 on the side surfaces. As shown, the openings 22 may be window-like with a partially undulating contour. However, any other opening shapes are conceivable, round, oval, rectangular, etc, as long as the desired shock absorption properties are guaranteed.
  • the shoe 10 contacts the ground to be walked on only over the air pads 12a and 12b.
  • the air cushions 12a and 12b can deform horizontally and vertically.
  • a very good shock absorption during walking is achieved.
  • the front air cushions 12b are compressed under load of the ball portion, air escapes from them through the window-like openings 22.
  • the rear air cushions 12a are compressed under load of the heel portion, air escapes therefrom through the openings 21 and the cavity 14 via the second one-way valve 17b in the channel 16.
  • the air thus escapes under load of the heel area of the rear air cushion 12a in a regulated by the second one-way valve 17b manner, whereby a controlled and thus controllable efficient shock absorption can be achieved as it is not known in the prior art.
  • FIG. 3 another embodiment of the present invention is shown.
  • the in FIG. 3 Shoe 30 shown comprises an outsole main body 31 to which rear air cushions 32a and front air cushions 32b are attached.
