Description

There is the footwear sole construction of suspension elastic network(s) or lattice support
Technical field
The present invention relates to footwear, such as shoes, boots and sandals.
Background technology
Traditional footwear include the insole of the foot of the outsole (footwear outer bottom) contacting with ground and buffering user (in footwear Bottom).
Footwear such as (general) shoes and boots of closing also have vamp to encase simultaneously angle.
For clarity, term " footwear " is related to outer footwear, such as shoes, boots, sandals in this manual, and does not wrap Include the fabric product being through on foot, such as socks, stocking, tight and panty hose.
The known footwear of conventional shoes includes the sole of cushioning to provide comfort level.But, the design of no matter conventional soles Or building method is how, they are based on compressing the principle of buffering.In other words, when the weight of foot puts on sole, tradition The buffering of foamed materialss is subject to the compressed by weight of people.Comfort level is therefore provided by the shock-absorbing capacity of material for sole of shoe under compression.
Attempt many options to improve the shock-absorbing capacity of sole, including different types of foamed materialss and density, gas Cave, adjustable air-pressure chamber, embedded ball, spring etc..But, all these method still is based on the compression of padded coaming.
United States Patent (USP) US6,601,321 of Kendall and US7,555,847 disclose one kind and have " high tensile, low The footwear of the suspension braiding lattice stride of ' elastic ' fiber ", also indicate that " in all described embodiments, the main supporting part right and wrong of lattice Elastomer polymer or the homogeneity based on metal or composite fibre or yarn ".
The present invention avoids the described structure that can not bend (unyielding), and proposes a kind of diverse structure, institute State structure and there is the bearing net being formed by flexible elastomer.
Content of the invention
The present invention can be used for construction of footwear (such as shoes) or the part as construction of footwear, it is characterized in that having outstanding Floating elastomer net or grid, when using, the foot of user is subject to described suspension elastomer net or lattice support.
As it was noted above, one aspect of the present invention provides the footwear sole construction for footwear, described footwear sole construction includes Support the suspension elastomer net of the foot of wearer or the grid of footwear.
The present invention advantageously provides a kind of structure of the uniqueness for footwear, and wherein characteristics of principle eliminates for logical The needs of normal pressure contracting buffer soles design, the substitute is using the elastomer grid of flexibility suspending or net, it is passing through Under the reclinate tension force effect of foot weight, provide counteracting force upwards, to support the foot passing through wearer to be applied Weight, is somewhat similarly to resilient hammock.
The feature desired by least one form of the present invention is thoroughly to change footwear by providing elastomer net or grid The conventional compression buffering at bottom, described elastomer net or grid suspend via at least part of periphery outer bottom edge so that the big portion of foot Point weight is absorbed by net/grid.So that net is bent downwardly by the weight that foot applies, but stretched net/grid in this case, make Its elastomeric material is in tension state.This actually represents that foot is somewhat suspended in ground or the outer bottom of elasticity " hammock ", It is suspended in periphery or the outer rim of footwear sole construction.
Air circulation/air circulation is also a very important problem because traditional shoes be generally combined with smooth The liner in region is contacted with foot so that divulging information excessively poor.Although some shoes and sandals be designed to have little groove with Improve air circulation, need remain for sizable buffer area and contact without enough air circulation/air following according to definition Ring.
Net/grid the footwear of elastomer suspending can provide fabulous ventilation because the mesh design of opening due to The low surface area physical contact of net/grid and most foot is breathed.
Above all it will be appreciated that net/grid elastomer not only provides comfort level and ventilation, and greatly mitigates Pressure to limbs such as ankle and knee.Because grid is flexible elasticity/elastomeric material, it can be gently curved Impact bent and that bounce-back is to ease off the pressure to knee, ankle etc..
Net or grid are designed to be bent downwardly into gap/interval/space below net/grid (that is, in net/grid And outer bottom between, or for opening sole footwear ground engaging portions be supporting network/grid peripheral when in net/grid And ground between).
During normal walking, if being applied with big downward power (such as 50kg or jump are landed), grid can be to Under be flexed up to contact sole or ground.
Therefore at least some described space/interval or gap, it is also possible that soft foam.If downward power foot Enough big, net/grid may therefore touch foam, and it transfers to relax the pressure of the bottom applying to sole.It is important that although Net/grid " bottoms out ", and it still absorbs most downward power and impulsive force during this, and with net/grid It is back to this power that bounce-back certain percentage can be transferred in more normal position.It is true that bounce-back be footwear can be immediately The characteristic noticed.This can be effectively reduced the energy being applied by wearer, if especially stair climbing etc..
In the situation of described high load capacity, because net has absorbed the initial load of larger percentage it is meant that foam is permissible More soft (for common shoes, foam must carry whole load) than usual, highlights the comfort level of shoes further.
Footwear net or across the shoe base outer rim of grid/net stretch and can for example hold knot (end by ledge ) or ring (loops) is fixed to outward flange, fit into or mate to be designed in the corresponding of outer part of footwear respectively knobs On recess or lug.
Flexible net/grid/net generally can be molded as flat by injection molding, and preferably examples material is soft Property polyurethane termoplastic elastomer, for example used in surfboard foot rope or belt.This properties of materials is that have fabulous drawing Stretch and bounce-back ability.
The hardness number that net/grid elastomer can have is 30-120 shore A (ShoreA), more preferably in 80 and 95 shore Between A (90A is very typical), to provide the required elastomeric stretch characteristic with enough weight support.Commercial Example injection grade elastomer include BASF Elastollan 1185 and BAYER Desmopan 385S (RTMs).BASF Elastollan and BAYER Desmopan is injection grade thermoplastic.
Interchangeable elastomer is the Erapol of Era Plastics, and it is chemical group (non-injection grade) polymer, is arranged For ' the isocyanate-terminated prepolymer of the liquid end based on PTMEG polyether polyol '.Other elastomers include polyurethane surface Reveal the suitable elastic characteristic that can be utilized and intensity.
Can be using the method for attachment in addition to the excessively corresponding shoe base ledge such as ' hook ' of ring set, including for example prominent Play/tie the design with groove (knobs and slotted).But, an option is to be molded as net and sole outer edge thereof One part.This can be by the single injection molding by identical material or the encapsulated mold technique using different materials (twice It is combined together during injection bag molding process) realize.
Net or grid can be arranged in pretension state in a mold, once and outsole and/or sole seat ring It is molded around it, still keep pretension upon exiting the die.
Another option of at least one embodiment of the present invention is so that upright or vertical outward flange or outer rim (for example Outsole or outer bottom) and shoe base be molded together and become a part.Alternatively, if combining problematic, they are permissible Rubber-coating module becomes a part.Elastomer net/grid can be connected to base by the ring of elastomer, as described above.

Various changes can be carried out to the details of design and construction in the case of without departing from the scope of the present invention or boundary.
The Performance Characteristics of footwear for example rebound (elasticity or walking in comfort level) can be utilized parameters described below measurement:
A) shock-absorbing (ShockAbsorption, " g ") measurement is slowed down, and relatively low vibrations (g value) typically represent more Soft sole is simultaneously more comfortable for wearer.Relatively low g value is therefore more preferable for comfort level.
B) energy bounce-back (Energy Return, ER), although high ER value is not crucial for comfort level, provides " elastic " of user step.Described " elastic " can reduce the energy expenditure of user and also can reduce the impact of vibrations. High-energy bounce-back value is also that underfooting padded coaming resists the ' index of compacting (packing down) '.ER value is higher, reduces energy and disappears Consumption is then better.
Different types of footwear have different " g " and " ER " values.Typically, have relatively low " g " material also have relatively low " ER ".Taiwan ' Footwear and Recreation Technology Research Institute ' is to this Bright embodiment has carried out independent contrast test.Data below results from described test:
Table 1
Figure 11 shows the chart of the average g value of the contrast from upper table.Figure 12 shows the flat of the contrast from upper table The chart of equal ER value.Figure 13 shows the ratio (Er of the average ER of the chart in Figure 11 and 12 and the contrast of average g value:G) Chart.
' g ' value that chart in Figure 11 discloses the damping capaicty of footwear embodiment being test for the present invention is right less than institute The footwear of ratio meansigma methodss (running shoes g meansigma methodss=12, trainer shoe and sport shoess g meansigma methodss=16.5, playshoes g meansigma methodss= 15.5, and men and women's clothing footwear/dress shoes g meansigma methodss=35).It is test for embodiments of the invention and (be referred to as " ElastowebTM”) G value be registered as g=11.5.Low g value shows more comfortable footwear.
The chart of Figure 12 discloses the identical " Elastoweb being test for embodiments of the inventionTM" footwear energy bounce-back (ER) value is more than the meansigma methodss of all of contrast footwear in chart.Bigger ER value represents the energy bounce-back bigger for wearer Amount or " elastic " effect, so that walking is less be involved.
In the chart of Figure 13, with the ratio of g value, ER represents that the shock absorption for specified rate returns to the bullet of wearer Property amount.It is substantially the value with respect to absorbed energy for the value of the energy rebounding, that is,:How many energy are repelled with how much Absorbed comparison.The chart of Figure 13 clearly demonstrates the " Elastoweb of the present inventionTM" contrast footwear in variant and chart For the vibrations being absorbed, there is bigger energy bounce-back when meansigma methodss compare.
