Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to shoes, and, more particularly, to a multi-function variable healthcare shoe.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Shoes exhibiting a ventilation effect have some structural problems, even if they may be granted a patent. For instance, a couple of dents and protrusions are designed to provide a massage function. However, such dents and protrusions circulate the air in the shoes, and are in contact with the skin of feet only, without deeply massaging the arch and fascia of feet. When the dents and protrusions perform the massage function, the temperature of the air in the shoes increases, which adversely affect the health of the feet.
- Some patents, including U.S. Pat. No. 4,633,597, JP013203, CN ZL92233539.7, TW99876, TW64069, IT99876, DE9214653.8, KR29-221886, provide a foot pad having an air sack that obeys pumping principles.
- However, some of the foot pads disclosed in the above patents does not establish a ventilation system, and still suffer from poor air circulation and cannot achieve the ventilation and massage effects effectively.
- Therefore, how to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art is becoming an urgent issue in the art.
- The present invention is provided to improve men's health, focus on a foot contact surface, and employ ergonomics and pumping principles, in order to realize multi-function healthcare shoes that can take care of men's feet. The inventor, after a long period of time of thorough research, integrates and improves a ventilation system, which enables air to flow smoothly at the same direction from inner sides of the feet to outer sides of the feet, like waves propagating continuously. Therefore, air can keep flowing in and out the shoes. The multi-function healthcare shoes according to the present invention further provide a massage function, which can promote blood circulation and metabolism.
- The present invention provides a multi-function variable healthcare shoe that includes: a foot pad having an air sack that obeys pumping principles, an intake valve disposed on an inner side of a rear bottom portion of the air sack, and an exhaust valve disposed on an inner side of a toe portion of the air sack. A plurality of non-slip protrusions are disposed in front of the air sack. A curved and protruded air guide turns to an external portion of a venting slot for guiding air to flow through a slot disposed on a bottom portion and a protection edge to a topline to form a ventilation system. Therefore, air keeps flowing through and ventilating in the multi-function variable healthcare shoe. The foot pad has a massage cover. The foot pad is full-sized or half-sized. Low leather casual shoes that have an elastic ribbon around a topline thereof are improved to be loafer shoes, and lace shoes, such as low leather shoes and low sport shoes, are improved to be tongue sleeve shoes.
- According to the multi-function variable healthcare shoe, the ventilating and breathing foot pad employs a full-sized palm-shaped air sack foot pad as a basic foot pad according to the present invention. The half-sized multi-function variable foot pad comprises: 1. an invisible raised structure; 2. a foot pad having an adjustable massage cover; and 3. a palm-shaped design having a variety of functions. The palm-shaped design having a variety of functions includes: A. a shoe bottom having a heel or a thick enough rear portion that is designed with a fry-pan-shaped depression and an elastic pad bottom; B. a hard metal pad bottom and a foot pad with a hole for a thumb screw to be inserted and rotate therein to adjust the massage strength; and C. an elastic member that can be filled in the middle portion of the full-sized pad bottom to adjust the elasticity and air ventilation. The full-sized pad bottom includes designs above the shoe bottom (including a top-bottom bonding design).
- According to the multi-function variable healthcare shoe, an elastic ribbon of a low leather casual shoe is likely malfunctioned, which is a design error and can be amended by a pneumatic block, a compressive block or a pocket block, and is changed to be a loafer shoe.
- According to the multi-function variable healthcare shoe, a low lace leather shoe and a low lace sport shoe is provided with an invisible shoehorn. A flat hook with two ends bonded with metal sheets cooperates with an elastic rubber strip having matched length, thickness and width. The round hole of the original lace is changed to be a rectangle hook hole, for the elastic band hook to be inserted therein. A portion of pulling force of the elastic band is used to depress a leather face on two ends, and the remaining stronger pulling force of the elastic band is strong enough to handle the basic fixture function when a user wearing the shoe is walking. The elastic hook band has one end using a moveable hook and the other end using a fixture.
