Abstract

Moisture absorbing arrangement for woven shoes and leathers. They are established, in those areas of footwear or garments on which a problem of sweating is anticipated, small receptacles (4) occupied by silica gel (5) configured in the form of a crystalline structure, presenting channels that do not restrict the flow of air to its through. Additionally, the aforementioned receptacles (4) can be made in such a way that their inner lining (2), or liner, is made of a material that allows the passage of sweat.

Description

Moisture absorbing arrangement for footwear, fabrics and leathers.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to arrangement in footwear, fabrics and leathers, to be worn in clothing and other accessories such as helmets, gloves, upholstery, etc. specially designed to provide such elements with moisture absorbing characteristics, specifically against the user's body sweating.

Thus, the object of the invention is to achieve than in those areas of the body where there is a greater sweating, with abundant accumulation of moisture, such moisture is  reduced, preventing the user from being in contact with it, what which makes the garment or footwear comfortable and comfortable.

Background of the invention

The problem of body sweating and its incidence on clothing and footwear, is well known, as it is also to provide these elements with aeration means or of perspiration that at least partially resolve the trouble.

In fact all known solutions to the effect they consist of making designs that facilitate the local circulation of air, dragging in that circulation the sweating, in order to keep the body dry.

An alternative solution is to use textile materials with moisture absorption properties.

The first solution, to facilitate the local air circulation is quite complicated to obtain in practice and with results that leave much to be desired, in addition of having a direct impact on the design of the garments or the footwear, while the second solution, the use of absorbent textile materials, such materials have a very limited absorption capacity and also keep the surface in contact with the user's skin.

Description of the invention

The absorbent arrangement that the invention proposes to solve the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed.

To do this and more specifically said provision consists in establishing, in those areas of the footwear, clothing and upholstery on which the problem of sweating, small compartments occupied by silica gel, the commonly called "silicagel", which by its own Nature is able to absorb large amounts of water, up to 40% of its own weight.

In addition, silica gel has a structure crystalline, so that within its granular mass establish pipes that do not restrict air flow to through the bed of granules.

The accumulations of silicagel granules are separated from the corresponding areas of the body of the user, using a sheet of material that in addition to acting as containment medium for the granular product allows the passage of the liquid molecules towards said granules.

For the location of the silicagel can be used, in the case of footwear, the emptyings existing in the upper face of the soles, widely used as means of floor lightening and material savings, in the savings of the templates, in a defined space between the cut and the lining of the footwear, etc., while in the fabrics two layers will be established determinants of a thin intermediate chamber in which the silicagel

The proportions in terms of gel granules of silica will be based on the breathability of footwear or ready made garment.

It should be noted finally that the silica gel is able to differentiate certain molecules, so it acts as selective absorbent, that is to say that also allows eliminating undesirable odors

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of this description, a single set of planes where with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, a cross section detail of a fabric sector or a sector of the cut of a shoe, with the absorbent arrangement object of The present invention.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In the review figure the wall (1) can consist, for example and interchangeably, in the cut of a shoe or on the exposed face of a fabric or leather, while the layer (2) represents the lining of any of the elements above cited.

In any case, these two laminar bodies (1) and (2) will be fixed together by seams (3), which they can be those of footwear or textile clothing, or that they can be made specifically to define small compartments (4) in which to accommodate in turn doses (5) of silica gel, that is of silicagel, which by their very nature are able to absorb large amount of water, and that by its crystalline structure allows the breathability through it.

As previously said the body internal laminar (2), the one destined to come into contact with the skin of the user, it will be of a material that allows the passage through of sweat, so that it is absorbed by the silica gel (5).

Claims (2)

1. Moisture-absorbing arrangement for footwear, fabrics and / or leathers, characterized by establishing in the object in question and in correspondence with the expected sweating areas, small flattened receptacles (4) occupied by silica gel, ie gel silica (5), capable of absorbing a large amount of water and with a crystalline structure that allows the circulation of air through it. 2. Moisture absorbing arrangement for footwear, fabrics and / or leather, according to claim 1, characterized in that said receptacles (4) are determined by components of the footwear or the textile confection in question, such as between the floor and the floor. template, between the cut and the lining, or between the fabric seen and the lining of the textile or upholstery construction, having provided that the inner lining sheet (2), that is to say the lining or, where appropriate, the template, is of a material that allows the passage of sweat such as leather, conventional textile or hydrophilic textile.
