Throughout the description of the present invention, when describing a certain relevant conventional technology is determined to evade the point of the present invention, the pertinent detailed description will be omitted.
- Hereinafter, some embodiments of a shoe cushion and a shock absorbing shoe having the same in accordance with the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Identical or corresponding elements will be given the same reference numerals, regardless of the figure number, and any redundant description of the identical or corresponding elements will not be repeated.
- Firstly, a
shock absorbing shoe 100 in accordance with an aspect of the present invention will be described.FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view illustrating theshock absorbing shoe 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, andFIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing theshock absorbing shoe 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , theshock absorbing shoe 100 in accordance with the present invention includes: a sole 140 having a lower surface thereof contacted with the ground; acushion 130 disposed above the sole 140; and an upper 110 disposed above thecushion 130. Here, thecushion 130 includes: arigid frame 132 defining an inner region A corresponding to the shape of at least a part of a foot of a wearer; and anelastic member 134 supported by theframe 132 and disposed in the inner region A to support the foot of the wearer. The sole 140 has agroove 145 formed on au upper portion thereof in order to provide a deformation space for theelastic member 134. - As such, the
shoe 100 in accordance with the present embodiment can further increase a cushioning effect by use of elastic deformation in vertical directions as well as the simple compression/restitution of a member that performs a cushioning function. Specifically, theelastic member 134, which supports the foot of the wearer, can make upward and downward elastic deformations owing to the deformation space provided by thegroove 145 formed in the sole 140. As a result, an effect similar to using a trampoline can be provided, thereby further improving the cushioning effect. Moreover, theshoe 100 in accordance with the present embodiment can help the wearer enhance a muscular strength. Hereinafter, the configuration of theshock absorbing shoe 100 in accordance with the present embodiment will be described in more detail. - The sole 140 is a part that contacts the ground directly and functions to create friction against the ground for a safe and swift walking. The sole 140 can have various patterns of protrusions (not shown) or trenches (not shown) formed on a bottom face thereof in order to generate the friction against the ground. Moreover, the sole 140 can have the
groove 145 formed on the upper portion thereof, and the space for elastic deformation of theelastic member 134 of thecushion 130 is provided by thegroove 145. - The sole 140 has the
cushion 130 disposed thereabove. Thecushion 130, which is for providing the cushioning effect to the wearer, includes therigid frame 132, which defines the inner space A corresponding to the shape of at least a part of the foot of the wearer, and theelastic member 134, which is supported by theframe 132. - The
frame 132 forms the overall external shape (i.e., approximately the shape of the foot of the wearer) of thecushion 130 and is preferentially made of a material that is sufficiently rigid and is as light as possible. As shown inFIG. 1 , theframe 132 can be formed in the shape of a looped curve, and theelastic member 134 is disposed in the inner region A defined by the looped curve to support the foot of the wearer. As illustrated inFIG. 2 , theframe 132 can be supported by an upper face of the sole 140, some or all of theelastic member 134 is positioned in a same vertical space as thegroove 145 formed in the sole 140. - The
elastic member 134 is supported by theframe 132 and functions to support the foot of the wearer. When the wearer wears theshoe 100 in accordance with the present embodiment, theelastic member 134 is deformed downwardly by the weight of the wearer. Here, since the deformation space is formed below theelastic member 134 by thegroove 145 formed in the sole 140, theelastic member 134 can be elastically deformed sufficiently. When the load against theelastic member 134 is removed later (i.e., when the wearer walks), theelastic member 134 is restored to its original position, and by repeating these actions, the function similar to a trampoline can be realized through the shoe. - Meanwhile, the
elastic member 134 can include a firstelastic layer 134 a and a secondelastic layer 134 b, which are separated from each other and disposed above and below each other, as illustrated inFIG. 2 andFIG. 3 . By forming theelastic member 134 with the firstelastic layer 134 a and the secondelastic layer 134 b that are separated from each other, the cushioning effect by theelastic member 134 can be maximized by aspace 135 in between the firstelastic layer 134 a and the secondelastic layer 134 b. Although it would be possible to form the firstelastic layer 134 a and the secondelastic layer 134 b by attaching a board shape of elastic material (not shown) to a top face and a bottom face of theframe 132 having a predetermined thickness, the present embodiment suggests winding a rubber band repeatedly in a direction perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of theframe 132. By using this method, the rubber band can have the shape of crossing the inner region A defined by theframe 132, and a dual-layer structure ofelastic member 134 can be realized more easily. - Here, as shown in
FIG. 3 , by using the rubber band that is hollow inside, it is possible to expect an effect that is similar to allowing the rubber band itself to substantially have a dual-layer structure by aninternal space 134 c thereof, thereby helping to maximize the cushioning effect. - Meanwhile, as shown in
FIG. 5 andFIG. 6 , theelastic member 134 can have a plurality of slits S formed thereon in a direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of theframe 132. By forming the slits S on theelastic member 134, individual regions defined by the slits S can be elastically deformed independently, allowing thecushion 130 to entirely adhered to the foot of the wearer more closely. While it is possible that the slits S are formed throughout theelastic member 134, the slits S may be only formed at a certain portion to which the foot of the wearer is adhered, as shown inFIG. 6 . - In the case of using the rubber band, as described above, the slits S can be formed by winding the rubber band on the
frame 132, without any additional process. Meanwhile, as illustrated inFIG. 4 andFIG. 5 , aportion 132 c of theframe 132 that corresponds to an arch of the foot of the wearer can be protruded upwardly. Through this structure, the arch of the foot of the wearer can be sufficiently supported, thereby allowing the wearer to feel less tired. - Meanwhile, in order to prevent any discomfort in walking due to the rigid property of the
frame 132 in accordance with the present embodiment, at least some portions of afront portion 132 a and arear portion 132 b in the lengthwise direction of theframe 132 can be curved upwardly. Through this, it is possible for the wearer to maintain natural walking, despite the presence of theframe 132. - The upper 110 functions to protect an ankle and a top of the foot of the wearer by enveloping the foot of the wearer. The upper 110 can be made of various kinds of materials, such as leather, synthetic resin, fabric, etc., and can be bound by various means, such as a shoelace or Velcro, lest the shoe be taken off.
- Meanwhile, it shall be appreciated that an
insole 120 is additionally provided above thecushion 130. - Hitherto, the
shock absorbing shoe 100 with thecushion 130 including theframe 132 and theelastic member 134 has been described, but the above-describedcushion 130 can be manufactured and supplied separately from the shoe and can be applied various kinds of shoes. - Although certain embodiments of the present invention have been described, it shall be appreciated that there can be a very large number of permutations and modification of the present invention by those who are ordinarily skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains without departing from the technical ideas and scope of the present invention, which shall be defined by the claims appended below.
- It shall be also appreciated that many other embodiments than the embodiments described above are included in the claims of the present invention.
