Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a shoe structure and, more particularly, to a waterproof shoe structure.
- A conventional
waterproof shoe structure 60 in accordance with the prior art shown inFIGS. 8 and 9 comprises a sole, a vamp mounted on the sole, acovering layer 61 mounted on the sole, and aninner bottom layer 62 mounted on the sole. The coveringlayer 61 has multiple throughholes 611. Theinner bottom layer 62 hasmultiple vent holes 621. A plurality ofair channels 63 are formed between the coveringlayer 61 and theinner bottom layer 62. The hot wet air in the shoe structure is introduced through thevent holes 621, theair channels 63 and the throughholes 611 and are drained outward into the ambient environment, thereby providing an aerating function. However, thethrough holes 611 and the coveringlayer 61 are located at the same horizontal plane, so that the rainwater easily infiltrates through the throughholes 611 into the inner space of the vamp. Thus, it is necessary to provide theinner bottom layer 62 for forming theair channels 63 to guide the rainwater, and to drain the rainwater outward from thethrough holes 611 of the coveringlayer 61, thereby complicating the manufacturing procedures, and thereby increasing the cost of fabrication - The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a waterproof shoe structure having breathable and waterproof functions.
- In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a shoe structure comprising a sole, a vamp mounted on the sole, and a waterproof lining mounted on the vamp. The vamp is provided with a plurality of vent holes. The waterproof lining has a surface provided with a plurality of convex portions and a plurality of concave portions between the convex portions. Each of the convex portions is higher than each of the concave portions. Each of the convex portions is provided with a through hole connected to each of the vent holes of the vamp. The through hole of each of the convex portions and each of the vent holes of the vamp are integrated to connect an inner space of the vamp to an ambient environment. When rainwater drops, the rainwater directly flows down from the convex portions to the concave portions of the waterproof lining, without staying on the convex portions. When the rainwater drops onto the through hole of each of the convex portions, the rainwater does not enter the through hole of each of the convex portions by a capillary action. When the vamp is compressed by an external force, air in the inner space of the vamp is forced to flow through each of the vent holes of the vamp and the through hole of each of the convex portions, and is drained outward from the through hole of each of the convex portions into the ambient environment. When the vamp is released and restored to an original state after the external force disappears, the air from the ambient environment is introduced through the through hole of each of the convex portions and each of the vent holes of the vamp into the inner space of the vamp.
- Preferably, each of the convex portions has a semispherical shape.
- Preferably, the through hole of each of the convex portions is disposed at a vertical state.
- Preferably, the through hole extends downward from a central position of a top face of each of the convex portions.
- Preferably, the through hole of each of the convex portions has a small diameter.
- Preferably, each of the vent holes extends through a whole thickness of the vamp, and the through hole extends through a whole thickness of each of the convex portions.
- Preferably, the waterproof lining is mounted on a helmet.
- Preferably, the waterproof lining is mounted on a raincoat.
- According to the primary advantage of the present invention, the shoe structure has waterproof and ventilating functions by provision of the convex portions of the waterproof lining.
- Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the conventional waterproof shoe structure as shown inFIG. 8 , wherein the hot wet air in the shoe structure is introduced through the air channels and is drained outward. - Referring to the drawings and initially to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , ashoe structure 10 in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a sole 11, avamp 12 mounted on the sole 11, and awaterproof lining 13 mounted on thevamp 12. - The
vamp 12 is provided with a plurality ofvent holes 121. - The
waterproof lining 13 has a surface provided with a plurality ofconvex portions 131 and a plurality of concave portions between theconvex portions 131. Each of theconvex portions 131 has various models. Each of theconvex portions 131 is higher than each of the concave portions. Each of theconvex portions 131 is provided with athrough hole 132 connected to each of thevent holes 121 of thevamp 12. The throughhole 132 of each of theconvex portions 131 and each of thevent holes 121 of thevamp 12 are integrated to connect an inner space of thevamp 12 to an ambient environment, to provide a ventilating effect to the shoe structure 1. - In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, each of the
convex portions 131 has a semispherical shape. - In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the
through hole 132 of each of theconvex portions 131 is disposed at a vertical state. - In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the
through hole 132 extends downward from a central position of a top face of each of theconvex portions 131. - In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the
through hole 132 of each of theconvex portions 131 has a small diameter. - In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, each of the
vent holes 121 extends through a whole thickness of thevamp 12, and the throughhole 132 extends through a whole thickness of each of theconvex portions 131. - In practice, referring to
FIG. 3 with reference toFIGS. 1 and 2 , when the rainwater drops, the rainwater directly flows down from theconvex portions 131 to the concave portions of thewaterproof lining 13, and will not stay on theconvex portions 131. In addition, when the rainwater drops onto the throughhole 132 of each of theconvex portions 131, the rainwater does not enter the throughhole 132 of each of theconvex portions 131 by the capillary action which is an interaction of a surface tension (cohesion) and an adhesion. In such a manner, when the liquid touches the solid face, the molecule of the liquid (or the rainwater) and the molecule of the solid face (or the convex portions 131) produce an adhesion. When the adhesion between the liquid and the solid face is greater than the cohesion (the surface tension) of the liquid, the capillary action is produced, and the liquid is distributed on the solid face, so that the rainwater directly flows down along theconvex portions 131 and does not infiltrate into thethrough hole 132 of each of theconvex portions 131. Thus, thevamp 12 has a waterproof function by provision of theconvex portions 131 of thewaterproof lining 13. - Referring to
FIG. 4 with reference toFIGS. 1 and 2 , when the wearer is moving, thevamp 12 is moved, and thewaterproof lining 13 is moved with thevamp 12. When thevamp 12 is compressed by an external force, the air in the inner space of thevamp 12 is forced to flow through each of thevent holes 121 of thevamp 12 and the throughhole 132 of each of theconvex portions 131, and is drained outward from thethrough hole 132 of each of theconvex portions 131 into the ambient environment. When thevamp 12 is released and restored to the original state after the external force disappears, the air from the ambient environment is introduced through thethrough hole 132 of each of theconvex portions 131 and each of thevent holes 121 of thevamp 12 into the inner space of thevamp 12. In such a manner, thevamp 12 has a ventilating function by provision of theconvex portions 131 of thewaterproof lining 13, thereby providing a comfortable sensation to the wearer when wearing the shoe structure 1. Thus, theshoe structure 10 has waterproof and ventilating functions by provision of theconvex portions 131 of thewaterproof lining 13. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , ashoe structure 10′ in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a sole 11′, avamp 12′ mounted on the sole 11′, and awaterproof lining 13′ mounted on thevamp 12′. Thewaterproof lining 13 has a surface provided with a plurality ofconvex portions 131′ and a plurality of concave portions between theconvex portions 131′. Each of theconvex portions 131′ is provided with a throughhole 132′. Preferably, each of theconvex portions 131′ has different configurations, such as hexagonal shape, conic shape, elliptical shape, triangular pyramid shape or the like. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , ahelmet 30 comprises ashell 31 and awaterproof lining 32 mounted on theshell 31. Thewaterproof lining 32 has a surface provided with a plurality ofconvex portions 321 and a plurality of concave portions between theconvex portions 321. Each of theconvex portions 321 is provided with a throughhole 322. Thus, thehelmet 30 has waterproof and ventilating functions by provision of theconvex portions 321 of thewaterproof lining 32. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , araincoat 40 comprises a coat back 41 and awaterproof lining 42 mounted on the coat back 41. Thewaterproof lining 42 has a surface provided with a plurality ofconvex portions 421 and a plurality of concave portions between theconvex portions 421. Each of theconvex portions 421 is provided with a throughhole 422. Thus, theraincoat 40 has waterproof and ventilating functions by provision of theconvex portions 421 of thewaterproof lining 42. - Accordingly, the shoe structure has waterproof and ventilating functions by provision of the convex portions of the waterproof lining.
