WO1997017859A2 - Microcomputerized tennis shoe - Google Patents

Abstract

A tennis shoe which holds a multifunction microcomputer (1) which is fixed through the length of the tread, and that works activated by the weavers body weight over a switch (8) placed inside the shoe sole (7).

Description

'Microcomputarized Tennis Shoe'.

The present refers to the invention of a sports tennis shoe in which is settled a multifunction microcomputer devise capable of measuring the user's spent calories, the traversed distance, the actual speed, the

5 medium and maximum speed, and yet, it holds a timing devise

-chronometer- and an odometer. The microcomputer fits its functions starting from the length of the treads, previously programmed to each user. All the functions are shown in a digital display.

This tennis shoe is bound to be very useful for those who practice ϊ Q sports, jogging or running.

The characteristic features of the present object model are described in the sketch in anexo.

The refered tennis(Fig.OI), has a microcomputer and a digital display devise bound to its dorsal, allowing the functions reading with

i.5 ease.

Figure 02 shows the microcomputer 1) and the switchs(2) for function selection.

The microcomputer(l) is fixed to a loop(4) crocodile-mouth typβ(5), which also fix the devise to the tennis shoe.

At the edge of the loop are located the terminals(6) which stablish the connection between the microcomputer(l) and the tennis shoe

terminals.

Fig. 03 displays a view of the inner part of the tennis.

In the rear, inside the sole of the shoe(7) is placed a contact switch(8) with a frame which makes contact with the switch's pole(10) via the weigth of the foot. The contact between the frame(9) and the pole(10) starts a pulse which is transmited to the microcomputer through

conductors(11 ) connected to terminals(12) fixed in the switch.

In the opposite side, the conductors(11) are linked to terminals(13) that remain in the outer part of the tennis in order to contact the loop that fastens it to the microcomputer. This basic structure may suffer changes with respect to materials, dimensions, models, finishing and other items, naturally caring not to go away from the patent's protection measures.

Claims

1.- The Microcomputarized Tennis has a microcomputer which fits its functions via the length of the user's treads, marking therefore, the amount of spent calories, the speed developed by the person, the

traversed distance, the actual speed, the medium and maximum speed. It also has a timing devise -chronometer- and an odometer.

2 - The Microcomputarized Tennis has a multifunction

microcomputer which is activated by the pressure of the user's foot weight over a contact switch placed at the shoe sole.
