Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a shoe sole that exhibits excellent slip resistance on an ice surface, a shoe having the shoe sole, and an antislip member to which the technique of the shoe sole is applied.
  • JP 3096646 U describes a shoe-sole antislip structure (claim 1 in JP 3096646 U ).
  • the antislip structure includes the shoe sole provided under a shoe body and multiple suction cups having conical indentations and is characterized by the suction cups integrated with the shoe sole.
  • WO 2006/003740 describes that the antislip structure allows the suction cups to catch the ground with a suction force, so that the effect of slip resistance can be obtained on a wet ground surface, a snowy road, a frozen ground surface, or a ground surface with oil-based liquid as well as a ground surface covered with dry asphalt, soil, grass, or the like (paragraph [0016] in WO 2006/003740 ).
  • WO 2006/003740 describes an antislip shoe sole having a plurality of ground convex portions formed at predetermined intervals on the ground side of a base part in the longitudinal direction of the base part.
  • Each of the ground convex portions is V-shaped in cross section, has a tilted reinforcing part in the proximal part connecting to the base part, and is composed of elastomeric polymers having JIS-A hardness of 45 to 80 at 20°C (Claim 1 in WO 2006/003740 ).
  • WO 2006/003740 also describes that the antislip shoe sole enables stable walking even on a slippery floor and the like (paragraph [0021] in WO 2006/003740 ).
  • US 2005/034798 A1 discloses a tire tread, in the surface of which stepped recesses are formed. These allow recesses, fluids, solids, and fluid-solid mixtures to be dispersed, thereby enhancing a mechanical grip of the tire.
  • WO 2015/121884 A1 discloses an anti-slip device according to the preamble of claim 1 consisting of a gripping element and an elastic central joint bound to a shoe sole.
  • the joint mechanically connects the gripping element with the slip surface in an elastic way.
  • the gripping element includes a funnel-shaped recessed portion formed on the underside of the gripping element.
  • antislip shoe soles do not always exhibit excellent slip resistance. This is because such antislip shoe soles are characterized in that a friction force (a friction force received by a shoe sole from a walking surface, the same hereinafter) instantly peaks immediately after the bracing of feet, for example, at the start of kicking the walking surface, and then the friction force rapidly decreases.
  • a walker wearing shoes with such characteristic shoe soles tends to feel that slip resistance (friction force) produced immediately after the bracing of feet may be kept thereafter, and thus the walker may unconsciously keep kicking a walking surface with a strong force. Even in this case, the walker hardly slips or falls on a walking surface under satisfactory conditions, e.g., on a dry road. However, on a poor walking surface, e.g., an ice surface, the walker is likely to slip and fall.
  • An object of the present disclosure is to provide a shoe sole that allows continuous bracing from a moment immediately after the start of bracing and can exhibit excellent slip resistance in walking on a poor walking surface, e.g., an ice surface.
  • Another object of the present disclosure is to provide shoes having the shoe soles.
  • Still another object of the present disclosure is to provide an antislip member to which the technique of the shoe sole is applied.
  • a dynamic friction coefficient on an ice surface and “a maximum static friction coefficient on the ice surface” mean friction coefficients measured by a measuring method in accordance with ISO13287 "slip resistance tests on shoe soles", specifically, friction coefficients measured in steps 1 to 6 as will be discussed below.
  • the cycle of the following steps 1 to 6 is repeated ten times in total, and then the mean value of maximum static friction coefficients and the mean value of dynamic friction coefficients in five measurements in total from the sixth to the tenth measurements are used as a formal maximum static friction coefficient and a formal dynamic friction coefficient.
  • a shoe sole is placed on a horizontal ice surface (a solid ice surface kept at 0°C.
  • the ice surface is supported by a force F 2 , which will be discussed later, so as to slide in the horizontal direction).
  • the shoe sole is held with a tool or the like so as not to move in the horizontal direction.
  • a force F 1 (500 N) is vertically applied downward to the top surface of the shoe sole so as to press the shoe sole to the ice surface.
  • the force F 2 is horizontally applied to the ice surface while the force F 1 of above (2) is continuously applied to the shoe sole, and then the force F 2 is gradually increased.
  • the force F 2 is measured from the start of application of the force F 2 in step 3 to the start of horizontal sliding on the ice surface.
  • the peak value during the measurement (the maximum value of the force F 2 ) is divided by the force F 1 to obtain a value as "the maximum static friction coefficient on the ice surface.”
  • the force F 2 is increased until a horizontal sliding speed on the ice surface reaches 300 mm/s.
  • the force F 2 is measured when the horizontal sliding speed on the ice surface is stabilized at 300 mm/s.
  • the mean value of the force F 2 during the measurement (the mean value between 0.3 second and 0.6 second after the start of application of the force F 2 ) is divided by the force F 1 to obtain a value as "the dynamic friction coefficient on the ice surface.”
  • the shoe sole is configured such that the dynamic friction coefficient on the ice surface is higher than the maximum static friction coefficient on the ice surface, allowing continuous bracing from a moment immediately after the start of bracing.
  • the shoe sole can be provided so as to exhibit excellent slip resistance even in walking on a poor walking surface, e.g., walking on an ice surface.
  • a specific value of "the dynamic friction coefficient on an ice surface” is not particularly limited but is preferably 0.25 or higher. This can improve the slip resistance of the shoe sole on an ice surface, achieving safer walking.
  • the dynamic friction coefficient on an ice surface is more preferably 0.30 or higher, is further preferably 0.35 or higher, and is most preferably 0.37 or higher.
  • the dynamic friction coefficient on an ice surface can be set at 0.39 or higher.
  • the dynamic friction coefficient on the ice surface is higher than the maximum static friction coefficient on the ice surface.
  • This characteristic can be achieved by using a structure in which a plurality of antislip protrusions are formed downward with undersides of the antislip protrusions coming into contact with the ground, the antislip protrusions each including a funnel-shaped recessed portion formed on the underside of the antislip protrusion, each recessed portion including steps annularly formed on the inner surface of the recessed portion.
  • the shoe sole preferably includes drain holes for sucking water in the recessed portions and discharging the water to the surroundings of the shoe sole when the undersides of the antislip protrusions come into contact with the ground.
  • excellent slip resistance can be easily kept even on a poor walking surface, for example, during walking on a melting ice surface.
  • a plurality of protrusion rows are preferably disposed at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the shoe sole, the protrusion row including the antislip protrusions that are disposed along the width direction of the shoe sole while being spaced at predetermined intervals in the width direction of the shoe sole.
  • the front and rear positions of the antislip protrusions constituting the same protrusion row are preferably aligned.
  • this configuration is equivalent to the lattice pattern of the antislip protrusions 20 disposed in the width direction and the longitudinal direction of the shoe sole.
  • the antislip protrusions 20 disposed in a lattice pattern in the width direction and the longitudinal direction of the shoe sole can reduce the occurrence of snow or the like caught in a gap between the adjacent antislip protrusions. The reason will be discussed later.
  • the shoe sole of the present disclosure preferably includes a midsole part on the top surface of the shoe sole, the midsole part being made of a material having lower hardness than a shoe sole body (outsole part).
  • the characteristic continuous bracing from a moment immediately after the start of bracing
  • the shoe sole of the present disclosure preferably includes a midsole part on the top surface of the shoe sole, the midsole part being made of a material having lower hardness than a shoe sole body (outsole part).
  • the use of the shoe sole of the present disclosure is not particularly limited and thus the shoe sole can be provided for various shoes.
  • the shoe sole can be properly provided particularly for shoes for commuters, students, athletes, and workers in a cold district.
  • the shoe sole can be properly provided for, for example, work shoes in a skating rink and work shoes in a freezer.
  • the shoe sole of the present disclosure may be provided integrally with a shoe or detachably from an existing shoe.
  • the present disclosure can provide a shoe sole that allows continuous bracing from a moment immediately after the start of bracing and can exhibit excellent slip resistance for walking on a poor walking surface, e.g., walking on an ice surface.
  • shoes including the shoe soles can be provided and an antislip member can be provided to which the technique of the shoe sole is applied.
  • a shoe sole will be discussed as an example to illustrate the present disclosure.
  • the following configuration is not always used for shoe soles and can be properly used for other antislip members of a mat, a stick tip, gloves, and the like.
  • shoe soles according to six embodiments that is, first to sixth embodiments will be discussed.
  • the shoe sole according to the first embodiment will be mainly discussed.
  • the configuration of the shoe sole according to the first embodiment are properly usable for the shoe soles of other embodiments as long as the configuration is consistent with the shoe soles of other embodiments.
  • the configurations of the shoe sole of the second and third embodiments are properly usable for the shoe sole of the first embodiment as long as the configurations are consistent with the shoe sole of the first embodiment.
  • Fig. 1 is a bottom view illustrating a state of the shoe sole viewed from the bottom according to the first embodiment.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates a bottom view of the shoe sole viewed from the bottom according to the first embodiment and an enlarged view of a part A of the shoe sole in Fig. 1 .
  • Fig. 3 illustrates perspective views of an enlarged antislip protrusion on the shoe sole according to the first embodiment.
  • Fig. 3(a) illustrates the overall configuration of the antislip protrusion.
  • Fig. 3(b) indicates that the antislip protrusion of Fig. 3(a) is cut along a plane B parallel to a y-z plane.
  • the shoe sole of the first embodiment includes multiple antislip protrusions 20 formed downward on the bottom of a shoe sole body 10 (outsole part).
  • the shoe sole body 10 has a thickness of 2 to 30 mm.
  • the antislip protrusion 20 has an underside (an end face on the negative side in the z-axis direction) coming into contact with the ground (a surface coming into contact with a walking surface).
  • the antislip protrusions 20 are provided over the bottom of the shoe sole body 10.
  • the antislip protrusions 20 may be absent in an area that hardly comes into contact with the walking surface on the shoe sole body 10, that is, in an area that hardly contributes to improvement in slip resistance (for example, hatched parts in Fig. 1 (e.g. a part overlapping the arch of a foot on the shoe sole body 10 and an edge part of the shoe sole body 10)).
  • an area where the antislip protrusions 20 are absent at the bottom of the shoe sole body 10 may be referred to as "protrusion non-formation area”
  • an area where the antislip protrusions 20 are provided on the shoe sole body 10 may be referred to as "protrusion formation area.”
  • the number of antislip protrusions 20 per unit area is not particularly limited and varies according to, for example, the dimensions of the antislip protrusions 20. However, if the number of antislip protrusions 20 per unit area is extremely small, the total number of antislip protrusions 20 on the shoe sole body 10 also decreases, which may lead to difficulty in raising the maximum static friction coefficient and the dynamic friction coefficient of the shoe sole to required levels. Thus, the number of antislip protrusions 20 per unit area (a value in the protrusion formation area if the protrusion non-formation area is formed at the bottom of the shoe sole body 10, the same hereinafter) is typically at least 0.5 /cm 2 . The number of antislip protrusions 20 per unit area is preferably at least 0.8 /cm 2 and is more preferably at least 1 /cm 2 .
  • the number of antislip protrusions 20 per unit area is typically 10 /cm 2 or less.
  • the number of antislip protrusions 20 per unit area is preferably 5 /cm 2 or less, is more preferably 3 /cm 2 or less, and is further preferably 2 /cm 2 or less.
  • the number of antislip protrusions 20 per unit area is substantially equal over the bottom (protrusion formation area) of the shoe sole body 10.
  • the number of antislip protrusions 20 per unit area may vary among locations.
  • a width Wo ( Fig. 2 ) of a gap between the adjacent antislip protrusions 20 is not particularly limited. However, if the width Wo of the gap is too small, small stones, sand, or the like may be easily caught in the gap between the adjacent antislip protrusions 20. During bracing on the shoe sole, the antislip protrusions 20 are compressed in the height direction and are radially extended, which may lead to difficulty in ensuring desired slip resistance because of interference between the adjacent antislip protrusions 20.
  • the width W 0 of the gap (a minimum value is set if the width Wo of the gap varies among locations, the same in the subsequent sentences) is typically set at 0.1 mm or larger.
  • the width W 0 of the gap is preferably at least 0.3 mm and is more preferably at least 0.5 mm. If the width Wo of the gap is extremely large, the number of antislip protrusions 20 per unit area cannot be easily increased, which may lead to difficulty in ensuring desired slip resistance. Thus, the width W 0 of the gap (a maximum value is set if the width W 0 of the gap varies among locations, the same in the subsequent sentences) is typically set at 10 mm or less. The width W 0 of the gap is preferably 5 mm or less and is more preferably 3 mm or less.
  • the antislip protrusions 20 are integrally molded with the shoe sole body 10.
  • the molding materials of the shoe sole may be various rubbers, elastomers, and the like that are used for the outsole parts of shoe soles according to the related art. More specifically, the molding materials of the shoe sole may include a rubber compounding ingredient and at least one elastomeric polymer selected from the group consisting of a synthetic rubber, a natural rubber, a thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber (SBS), a styrene thermoplastic elastomer (SIS), an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), polyurethane, and polyvinyl chloride.
  • SBS thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber
  • SIS styrene thermoplastic elastomer
  • EVA ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer
  • polyurethane polyurethane
  • polyvinyl chloride polyvinyl chloride
  • the hardness of the shoe sole (the hardness of the outsole part) varies depending on the molding materials of the shoe sole and is not particularly limited. However, if the outsole part of the shoe sole is too soft, the strength of the antislip protrusions 20 may become hard to keep. Thus, if the outsole part of the shoe sole is made of rubber, the hardness of the outsole part (a value measured by an A hardness tester, also in the case of rubber) is typically at least 10, is preferably at least 20, is more preferably at least 30, and is further preferably at least 35.
  • the hardness of the outsole part (a value measured by an E hardness tester, also in the case of EVA) is preferably at least 10, is more preferably at least 20, and is further preferably at least 30. If the outsole part of the shoe sole is too hard, the antislip protrusions 20 are hard to elastically deform. Thus, the antislip protrusions 20 hardly deform along the walking surface, leading to difficulty in ensuring desired slip resistance. Moreover, the cushioning of the shoe sole may decrease so as to cause discomfort in wearing shoes.
  • the hardness of the outsole part is preferably 70 or less, is more preferably 60 or less, and is further preferably 50 or less.
  • the hardness of the outsole part is typically 70 or less, is preferably 60 or less, is more preferably 50 or less, and is further preferably 40 or less.
  • the antislip protrusions 20 are each formed into a columnar shape. As illustrated in Fig. 3(a) , on the shoe sole of the first embodiment, the antislip protrusion 20 is formed into a cylindrical shape. However, the shape of the antislip protrusion 20 is not limited to a cylinder and may be a polygonal column, e.g., a triangular prism, a quadratic prism, or a hexagonal column, an elliptic cylinder, or a combination thereof.
  • an outside diameter Do Fig. 3(a) ) of the antislip protrusion 20 is kept constant regardless of the height of the antislip protrusion 20.
  • the outside diameter D 0 of the antislip protrusion 20 may vary according to the height of the antislip protrusion 20.
  • the outer surface of the antislip protrusion 20 may be tapered.
  • the ratio Ho/Do of a height Ho ( Fig. 3(a) ) to the outside diameter D 0 ( Fig. 3(a) ) of the antislip protrusion 20 varies depending on the molding materials, or the like of the antislip protrusion 20.
  • the ratio Ho/Do is not particularly limited. However, if the ratio H 0 /D 0 is too small, the antislip protrusions 20 may be flattened and lead to difficulty in ensuring desired slip resistance.
  • the ratio H 0 /D 0 is typically set at 0.1 or larger.
  • the ratio H 0 /D 0 is preferably at least 0.2 and is more preferably at least 0.3.
  • the ratio Ho/Do is typically set at 3 or less.
  • the ratio H 0 /D 0 is preferably 2 or less and is more preferably 1 or less.
  • the outside diameter Do ( Fig. 3(a) ) of the antislip protrusion 20 is typically set at 2 mm or larger.
  • the outside diameter D 0 is preferably at least 5 mm and more specifically, the outside diameter Do can be set at 7 mm or larger.
  • the outside diameter Do of the antislip protrusion 20 is typically 30 mm or less and is preferably 20 mm or less. More specifically, the outside diameter D 0 can be set at 15 mm or less.
  • the height H 0 ( Fig. 3(a) ) of the antislip protrusion 20 is typically at least 1 mm and is preferably at least 2 mm. More specifically, the height H 0 can be set at 3 mm or larger.
  • the height H 0 of the antislip protrusion 20 is typically 15 mm or less and is preferably 10 mm or less. More specifically, the height Ho can be set at 7 mm or less.
  • a funnel-shaped recessed portion 21 that is circular in cross section is formed on the underside of the antislip protrusion 20.
  • the antislip protrusions 20 can be sucked like suction cups to the walking surface.
  • steps 22 are formed like rings on the inner surface of the recessed portion 21.
  • slip resistance can be ensured from a moment immediately after the start of bracing on the shoe sole.
  • the steps 22 are annularly formed and thus slip resistance can be exhibited in all directions.
  • the shoe sole of the first embodiment can achieve excellent slip resistance in lateral bracing (e.g., in side steps) as well as in longitudinal bracing.
  • the number of steps 22 is not particularly limited. However, if the number of steps 22 is small, the antislip protrusions 20 are likely to be worn so as to eliminate the steps 22. This may lead to difficulty in ensuring desired slip resistance.
  • the number of steps 22 is preferably two or more and is more preferably three or more.
  • the number of steps 22 is not particularly limited but an extremely large number of steps 22 may lead to difficulty in molding the antislip protrusions 20.
  • the number of steps 22 is typically set at ten or less.
  • the number of steps 22 is preferably seven or less and is more preferably five or less.
  • the ratio H 1 /W 1 of a height H 1 ( Fig. 3(b) ) of the step 22 to a width W 1 ( Fig. 3(b) ) of the step 22 is not particularly limited. However, if the ratio H 1 /W 1 is too small, the inclination of the inner surface of the recessed portion 21 is inevitably reduced, so that the antislip protrusion 20 is less likely to be sucked onto the walking surface. Thus, the ratio H 1 /W 1 is typically set at 0.1 or larger. The ratio H 1 /W 1 is preferably at least 0.3 and is more preferably at least 0.5. The steps 22 are located deeper from the underside of the antislip protrusion 20 as the ratio H 1 /W is larger.
  • the ratio H 1 /W 1 is typically set at 3 or less.
  • the ratio H 1 /W 1 is preferably 2 or less and is more preferably 1.5 or less.
  • the width W 1 ( Fig. 3(b) ) of the step 22 varies depending on, for example, the outside diameter Do of the antislip protrusion 20 or the number of steps 22 but is typically set at 0.3 mm or larger.
  • the width W 1 is preferably at least 0.4 mm and more specifically, the width W 1 can be set at 0.5 mm or larger.
  • the width W 1 of the step 22 is typically set at 5 mm or less and is preferably set at 3 mm or less. More specifically, the width W 1 is set at 1 mm or less. If the two or more steps 22 are provided, the width W 1 of the step 22 may be equally set for all the steps 22 or may vary among the steps.
  • the height H 1 of the step 22 is typically set at 0.1 mm or larger and is preferably set at 0.2 mm or larger, though the height H 1 may vary depending on, for example, the height Ho of the antislip protrusion 20 or the number of steps 22. More specifically, the height H 1 can be set at 0.3 or larger. Alternatively, the height H 1 of the step 22 is typically set at 3 mm or less and is preferably set at 2 mm or less. More specifically, the height H 1 can be set at 1 mm or less. If the two or more steps 22 are provided, the height H 1 of the step 22 may be equally set for all the steps 22 or may vary among the steps.
  • a drain hole 23 is provided at the center of the recessed portion 21 of the antislip protrusion 20.
  • the drain hole 23 communicates with a drain passage 11 provided in the shoe sole body 10.
  • the drain passage 11 communicates with the outer surface (side) of the shoe sole body 10.
  • a recessed groove formed on the top surface (a front side in the z-axis direction) of the shoe sole body 10 serves as the drain passage 11. Since a midsole part (not illustrated) is fixed to the top surface of the shoe sole body 10 (outsole part) as will be discussed later, the upper side of the drain passage 11 (recessed groove) is covered with the midsole part.
  • a diameter D 1 ( Fig. 3(a) ) of the drain hole 23 varies depending on, for example, the diameter Do of the antislip protrusion 20, the number of steps 22, and the width W 1 of the steps 22 and is not particularly limited. However, if the diameter D 1 of the drain hole 23 is too small, small stones or sand may be easily caught in the drain holes 23. Thus, the diameter D 1 of the drain hole 23 is typically set at 0.5 mm or larger. The diameter D 1 of the drain hole 23 is preferably at least 1 mm and is more preferably at least 1.5 mm. If the diameter D 1 of the drain hole 23 is too large, the outside diameter D 1 of the antislip protrusion 20 also inevitably increases.
  • the diameter D 1 of the drain hole 23 is typically set at 20 mm or smaller.
  • the diameter D 1 of the drain hole 23 is preferably 10 mm or smaller and is more preferably 7 mm or smaller.
  • a dynamic friction coefficient (denoted as ⁇ 1 ) on an ice surface is higher than a maximum static friction coefficient (denoted as ⁇ 0 ) on the ice surface.
  • the ratio ⁇ 1 / ⁇ 0 of the dynamic friction coefficient ⁇ 1 to the maximum static friction coefficient ⁇ 0 on the ice surface is not particularly limited as long as the ratio is larger than 1.
  • the ratio ⁇ 1 / ⁇ 0 is preferably at least 1.1 and is more preferably at least 1.2.
  • the ratio ⁇ 1 / ⁇ 0 on the ice surface can be also set at 1.3 or larger.
  • the ratio ⁇ 1 / ⁇ 0 is not particularly limited but is estimated to be actually limited to about 1.5 to 2 on the ice surface.
  • the specific value of the dynamic friction coefficient ⁇ 1 on the ice surface is not particularly limited. However, if the dynamic friction coefficient ⁇ 1 is too small, excellent slip resistance cannot be expected. Thus, the dynamic friction coefficient ⁇ 1 on the ice surface is typically set at 0.3 or higher. As described above, the dynamic friction coefficient ⁇ 1 on the ice surface is preferably at least 0.25, is more preferably at least 0.30, is further preferably at least 0.35, and is optimally at least 0.37. On the shoe sole of the first embodiment, as will be discussed later, the dynamic friction coefficient ⁇ 1 on the ice surface can be also set at 0.39 or higher. The dynamic friction coefficient ⁇ 1 is preferably increased but, in practice, setting the dynamic friction coefficient ⁇ 1 to 0.7 or higher seems to be hard on an ice surface.
  • the midsole part (not illustrated) is preferably provided on the top surface of the shoe sole body 10.
  • the hardness of the midsole part is typically set lower than that of the shoe sole body 10. This can easily exhibit a feature properly on the actual shoes so as to continuously perform bracing from a moment immediately after the start of bracing.
