Abstract
An elastic heel of the high-heeled shoes comprises a heel and a base layer. A flat-crouched elastic sheet provides its first portion to stretchingly form on a top end of the hollow or solid heel and its second portion to correspondingly rivet on an end section of the base layer via some rivets penetrating through holes and apertures, thence allowing an elastic space with a short interstice for a reciprocal movement to be defined therebetween. Whereby, a pressure caused by contacting the bottom of the heel with the ground could be directly transferred to the flat-crouched elastic sheet fixed on the top end thereof, therefore the compression of the sheet provides a cushion effect for absorbing shocks and preventing impact via the reliance generated therefrom.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to an elastic heel of the high-heeled shoes, especially to a heel structure with shock absorption and cushion effect, so that an elastic effect as well as a shock dampening result could be provided during users' walking.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Generally, a
conventional heel 6 includes an accommodation defined therein. Wherein, theaccommodation 61 further provides with a flexible cushion formed by afixing member 62, anelastic member 63, and askidproof member 64. Especially, two ends of theelastic member 63 respectively connect to thefixing member 62 and theskidproof member 64, and a surface of theskidproof member 64 slightly protrudes out of the accommodation, so that by means of the elasticity generated from theskidproof member 64 and theelastic member 63, users would neither feel uncomfortable on their feet nor easily get hurt due to slip and fall. - 1. The Problems to Solve
-
- A. The conventional heel employs the combination of above elements to travel back and forth inside a limiting hole of the accommodation for achieving a vertically telescopic movement thereof. However, an inclination would be formed while the heel firstly contacts the ground during users' walking, so a side wall of the skidproof member disposed under the elastic member would readily abrade an inner wall of the accommodation. Whereby, the telescopic movement would thence become unsmooth, and the skidproof member may unsuccessfully get into the accommodation. As a result, the users' heel bones would readily get hurt.
- B. Since the conventional heel includes the accommodation providing with the fixing member, the elastic member, and the skidproof member, such structure is merely suitable for the shoe body with a bulky heel.
- 2. The Objects of the Present Invention
-
- A. One object of the present invention is to provide an elastic heel of the high-heeled shoes.
- Wherein, the hollow heel includes a flat-crouched elastic sheet with a first portion stretchably formed on a top end thereof. Moreover, a second portion of the flat-crouched elastic sheet defines a plurality of through holes thereon for a plurality of rivets to penetrate from downwards toward upwards through the through holes and a plurality of apertures corresponding thereto so as to rivet the rivets to the apertures, and accordingly fixing the second portion of the flat-crouched elastic sheet under an end section of a base layer via the rivets. Thereby, even if an inclination is formed while the heel firstly touches the ground during users' walks, an elastic space would be generated between the flat-crouched elastic sheet and a top portion of the heel. Namely, by the flat-crouched elastic sheet contacting the ground, pressure from users' feet could be directly transferred to the flat-crouched elastic sheet that is fixedly formed on the top portion of the heel. At the same time, the compression of the flat-crouched elastic sheet could efficiently absorb and disperse the impact. Therefore, users would not feel their feet uncomfortable, and neither would they readily get hurt, slip and fall.
-
- B. Another object of the present invention is to provide an elastic heel of the high-heeled shoes. Wherein, the heel could be applied to either the high-heeled shoes or the flat-bottomed shoes, and the heel could practically adopt a hollow structure or a solid structure. A base layer is formed by a plain type for welding or sticking to the second portion of the flat-crouched elastic sheet. As it should be, the present invention is not limited to the descriptive arrangement, and the implement manner as well as the principles is similar to the above construction for achieving a resilient effect, a shock dampening and the impact prevention.

FIG. 1 is an exploded view showing the preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is another exploded view showing the preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 3 is a side view showing the preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is perspective view showing the preferred embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the conventional heel. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 to 3 , a shoe body comprises aheel 2, abase layer 3, amiddle layer 4, and atop layer 5. Wherein, theheel 2 is integrally combined with thebase layer 3, thetop layer 5 combines with thebase layer 3 to form the shoe body, and thebase layer 3 further upwardly combines with themiddle layer 4. - Wherein, the
heel 2 is made of aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, ABS, and wood and adopts either a hollow or solid structure; further, theheel 2 includes a flat-crouchedelastic sheet 21 with a first portion stretchably or structurally formed on a top end thereof; a second portion of the flat-crouchedelastic sheet 21 defines a plurality of throughholes 211 for a plurality ofrivets 22 to penetrate, alternatively, it could also weld or stick to an end section of thebase layer 3; moreover, an elastic space A with a short interstice is formed between the flat-crouchedelastic sheet 21 and a top portion of the heel. - The
base layer 3 defines a plurality ofapertures 31 at the end section thereof for correspondingly engaging with the throughholes 211 of the flat-crouchedelastic sheet 21; or preferably, thebase layer 3 could be formed by a plain structure for welding or sticking to the second portion of the flat-crouchedelastic sheet 21; - The
middle layer 4 is stuck to a bottom periphery of thetop layer 5; - The
top layer 5 is designed as an assortment of lady's shoes; whereby, the abovementioned configuration of the present invention could favorably obtain the shock absorption and prevention effect by means of the elasticity generated therefrom. -
FIGS. 2 to 4 show a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Thehollow heel 2 includes a flat-crouchedelastic sheet 21 with a first portion stretchably formed on a top end thereof. A second portion of the flat-crouched elastic sheet defines a plurality of throughholes 211 for a plurality ofrivets 22 to penetrate from downwards toward upwards through the through holes and a plurality ofapertures 31 corresponding thereto so as to rivet the rivets to theapertures 31, which is plainly shown inFIG. 4 . Or oppositely, the second portion of the flat-crouched elastic sheet defines a plurality of throughholes 211 thereon for therivets 22 to penetrate from upwards toward downwards through the throughholes 211 and a plurality ofapertures 31 correspondingly thereto so as to rivet the rivets to the apertures, and accordingly fix the second portion of the flat-crouchedelastic sheet 21 under the end section of thebase layer 3. Even if an inclination is formed while the heel firstly touches the ground during users' walks, the elastic space A would be generated between the flat-crouchedelastic sheet 21 and a top portion of the heel. Namely, by the flat-crouchedelastic sheet 21 contacting the ground, pressure from users' feet could be directly transferred to the flat-crouchedelastic sheet 21 that is fixedly formed on the top portion of the heel. At the same time, the compression of the flat-crouchedelastic sheet 21 could efficiently absorb and disperse the impact. Therefore, users would not feel their feet uncomfortable, and neither would they readily get hurt, slip and fall. The present invention substantially achieves a resilient effect, a shock dampening and the impact prevention -
FIG. 3 shows the present invention applied to either the high-heeled or the flat-bottomed shoes. Moreover, the heel could adopt either the hollow structure or the solid structure to fit the practical need. Further, thebase layer 3 could be formed by a plane for welding or sticking to the second end of the flat-crouchedelastic sheet 21. Whereby, the correlated implementation and principles would not be varied by the similar interchangeable structure. Thereby, the heel in the present invention achieves the effects with elasticity, cushion, and shock absorption. - To sum up, the present invention provides a heel for absorbing shocks and achieving the cushion effect. The practicability achieved by the resilience as well as impact reduction is obtainable during users' walking. Therefore, the present invention is suited for a patent allowability.
