Definitions

  • the present invention refers to self-ventilating footwear, which is especially suitable for sports trainers.
  • the object of the invention is to obtain a constant renewal of air through the footwear itself and exiting through the sole so as to keep the foot ventilated.
  • footwear which are self-ventilating and that are based on the existence of an insole affected in part or in totality by holes, thus forming an air chamber under the insole through which air is projected towards the foot of the wearer when weight is made to bear on the sole of the shoe, suctioning air in the opposite direction when the foot is raised.
  • a problem with this type of self-ventilating footwear is that if it adapts to the shape of the foot, as is usually the case, the change of air with the exterior is minimum, possibly even zero, as the same air passes from the interior of the footwear to the chamber and vice versa. This means the air is warm and humid since it is in permanent contact with the foot of the wearer, thus heating the air and, in addition, due to the perspiration of the foot the air becomes humid.
  • European patent No. EP01127711.8 published under number ES2221635T3 describes a “shoe which comprises a system of airing or transpiration”, while the European Patent EP00304615.8 published under number ES22253183T3 is for the purpose of a “shoe sole with an air renewal system”, in both cases offering very complicated techniques based on the use of very complex soles in terms of their internal structure.
  • the Spanish utility model No. ES1050598U limits itself to advocating a determined “air valve for footwear” of a unidirectional nature, but which presents a structure completely different from that described in the present specification.
  • the self-ventilating footwear which is proposed has been designed to resolve the problem described above, based on obtaining an ongoing renewal of air, in other words, that fresh air enters from the exterior, passes around the foot in the corresponding chamber and exits to the exterior, without the possibility of returning to the chamber again and, of course, without the possibility of returning to the shoe again.
  • the footwear is based on holes made on the insole that delimits the foot receptacle with the lower chamber, said holes constitute valves that allow the one-way pass of air, that is, from the area where the foot is situated or from the exterior of the shoe through the shoe-intake to the chamber, but impeding the return through these same holes.
  • the sole recovers its initial shape absorbing air through the valves or holes in the insole, allowing the chamber to fill once again with air from inside the shoe.
  • the foot is kept dry and ventilated, or in other words fresh, decreasing and even avoiding perspiration and overheating.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic view corresponding to a cross-sectional side view of the sole of the footwear of the invention when weight is borne by the foot, the air in the chamber being pushed outwards to the exterior.
  • FIG. 2 shows a top plan view of the insole provided with holes constituting the one-way valves which communicate with the chamber in the sole.
  • FIG. 3 shows a representation like that in FIG. 1 when the weight bearing on the sole ceases, making it possible to see the entry of air from the shoe to said sole.
  • FIG. 3A shows an enlarged cross-section of a portion of the representation in FIG. 3 .
  • FIG. 4 shows a lower plan view of the same sole represented in FIG. 2
  • FIG. 5 shows, by way of example, a detailed plan and section of an embodiment of the one-way outlet valves or holes established on the side of the sole of the shoe to evacuate air.
  • the shoe ( 1 ) in the invention which may be any shape, is comprised of any material and, preferably applicable to sports trainers, includes a sole comprising a lower surface ( 2 ) corresponding to the lower support layer of the shoe ( 1 ) and an interior insole ( 3 ), so that between said surface ( 2 ) and insole ( 3 ) a chamber ( 4 ) is formed which communicates with the interior ( 5 ) of the shoe through a series of one-way holes ( 6 ) or valves established for this purpose on the insole ( 3 ).
  • the chamber ( 4 ) communicates with the exterior by means of one-way valves ( 8 ) which can be constituted, for example, by cylindrical tubular elements with a widened external end, according to reference ( 8 ′) and into whose widened end is positioned a ball, membrane or shutter element ( 9 ).
  • This allows the pass of air towards the exterior, but when this shutter device ( 9 ) is blocked, the cylindrical stretch of the one-way valve ( 8 ) impedes the pass of air in the opposite direction, in other words towards the interior of the chamber ( 4 ), with the peculiarity that the shutter device ( 9 ) is retained in the widened section ( 8 ′) via straps or other suitable elastic elements ( 10 ) as can be seen in FIG. 5 , which in idle position activate the shutter device ( 9 ), thus closing the cylindrical stretch.
  • the chamber ( 4 ) recovers its initial position as a consequence of the fact that when the air inside ( 5 ) the shoe ( 1 ) stops pressurizing upwards against the flaps or elastic patches ( 7 ), it passes to the chamber ( 4 ) through the one-way holes ( 6 ) or valves.
  • This therefore establishes a constant renewal of air, as the air will circulate through the whole shoe vertically and unidirectionally, air which penetrates through the air-intake in the shoe and reaches the chamber ( 4 ) in accordance with what has just been explained, to egress to the exterior through the one-way valves ( 8 ), thus producing a ventilation of the foot housed inside the shoe ( 1 ), preventing perspiration and keeping it fresh.
