Abstract

A cushioning system for inclusion into the sole of a sports shoe comprises an elasticated plate 2a mounted between two interlocking components 1a,3a. The interlocking components 1a,3a are comprised of a series of conical or frustoconical shapes formed from a material such as EVA. The lower component forming the ground engaging sole, is covered with a non-piercing translucent protective rubber cover 5. In use, when weight is placed on the sole of the shoe, the downward force causes the two interlocking components 1a,3a to move together in an attempt to interlock and in so doing attempting to overcome the resilience of the intervening elasticated plate 2a.

Description

DESCRIPTION
Name: IMPACT DEFLECTION PLATE (lOP) (lOP) is an ultra lightweight sports shoe cushioning system. The following features are: Performance: Offers both impact cushioning and defection in specific impact areas of the foot when running and walking.
Impact cushioning and deflection The (lOP) allows cushion supports with every impact of the foot at the same time gives the wearer a spring release from that impact. This is similar to a trampoline effect. This gives the runner a great advantage of spring into every new step of stride.
The (lOP) is a cushioning unit that can also be used in the casual market. This can benefit the wearer that does a lot of walking by giving them the comfort need for long durations of walking distance.
Injuries The (lOP) is a cushion unit that can both prevent heavy-footed runners and walkers from getting injuries as the spring cushion will rebound any heavy/sudden and prolong Running movements, which causes shin splints.
How it works (lOP) is an ultra lightweight sports shoe cushioning system.
A new lightweight cushioning system that uses a strong elasticated plate that works as a spring like action to cushion impact. The cushioning system is made up of 4 parts.
1) Lower EVA piece to have rounded cavities constructed and sized according to claim (3a).
2) Upper EVA piece to have protruding shaped to an interlocking fitting with claim (la).
3) A tripe density expandable elastic plate is sandwiched between the Lower and Upper EVA lightweight high dense EVA plates. These EVA plates interlock with each other when pressure is applied down on the elasticated plate (2a).
4) Not piercing translucent protective rubber cover (5). This is to protect elastic plate from sharpe objects on the ground when running.
The Upper and lower EVA plate are hollowed out and interlock with each other to prevent horizontal when impact occurs on Elasticated plate. Note that the cushiong system works in vertical movement to control the impact and cushioning.
The EVA plates have a unique construction where the size of the cavities and protruded piece determine the strength and comfort of the cushioning.
The bigger the cavity holes the more cushioning and spring that will be from the impact.
The Smaller the cavity hole the harder the cushioning and spring will be from the impact.
The surface area of the elasticated plate is made up of 3 specific strengths and densities.
The elaticated plate is a combination of 3 specific strengths and densities mould into one piece, those piece are sectioned off into different zones of the foot which are the fore-foot the mid-foot and the heal areas.
The cushioning components in the 3 zones work in sync with each other.
For Example: The rear foot section has smaller cavities in the EVA and a harder density rubber, this means the impact with be more harder than on the forefoot section.
The fore foot section has larger cavities in the EVA and a softer density rubber, this means the impact with be softer than on the rear section.
The concept is new and more comfortable way of running and can potentially become one of the lightest outsole cushioning constructions in sports footwear.
Key to drawings la: High density Upper EVA plate with protruding shapes constructed in different sizes according to 1 b, 1 c, 1 d to have an interlocking fit with lower EVA plate according to 3B, 30, 3D.
1 b: Toe strike section. Protruding shapes constructed in size one to interlock within (3b).
lc: Mid section. Protruding shapes constructed in size two to interlock within (3c).
ld: Heel strike section. Protruding shapes constructed in size three to interlock within (3d).
2a: Tripe injection process. Tripe density and strength expandable rubber plate sandwiched between higher EVA plate (1 a) and lower EVA plate (3a).
2b: Toe strike section. Density and strength one of tripe expandable rubber plate.
2c: Mid section. Density and strength two of tripe expandable rubber plate.
2d: Heel strike section. Density and strength three of tripe expandable rubber plate.
3a: High density Lower EVA plate with shaped cavities constructed in different sizes according to ib, ic, id.
3b: Toe strike section. Cavities shapes constructed in size one to interlock within (1 b) 3c: Mid section. Cavities shapes constructed in size two to interlock within (2b).
3d: Heel strike section. Cavities shapes constructed in size three to interlock within (3b).
4: Flexible notch recess to allow flexible movement.
5: Not piercing translucent protective rubber cover.

Claims (2)

  1. Claims: 1: A footwear cushioning system that uses a strong elasticated plate sandwiched between two interlocking components that works in a spring like action when pressure is added to it.
  2. 2 A footwear cushioning system that uses circle shapes to interlock with each other according to claim 4.
    3: A footwear cushioning system according to claim 1, that identifies and uses different densities of elasticated cushioning impact on sole of the shoe.
    4: A footwear cushioning system that uses 2 interlocking pieces and a triple density rubber plate to construct the outsole according to claim 1.
    5: A footwear cushioning system that according to claim 4 uses circle shaped 0) cavities on the lower piece of the outsole construction, where the upper section C uses protruding circle shaped to interlock with the lower piece.
    6: A footwear cushioning system that reduces the weight of the outsole by C constructing the 2 interlocking piece in a hollow frame according to claim 4.
    7: A footwear cushioning system that uses a non piercing translucent rubber cover to protect elasticated plate.
    8: A footwear cushioning system that cushions both forefoot and heel areas according to claim 1.
