Definitions
- the above invention not only makes possible a far greater quantity of air transpired at each step, but also creates a cushioning effect as will now be explained.
- Subject of the invention is an adjustable transpiring and cushioning shoe, the sole of which comprises an insole with through holes forming the bottom of the shoe, a tread with one-way expulsion valves and an intermediate elastic structure containing a plurality of small chambers side by side each of which communicates, by means of a one-way valve here called a suction valve, with the inside of the shoe and by means of an expulsion valve with the outside.
- a one-way valve here called a suction valve
- the chambers are preferably obtained in their full height from the intermediate structure comprising an upper base, thin peripheral and internal ribs, glued onto the tread.
- the suction valves are formed of fine tubes in a single piece with the intermediate structure, placed substantially alongside an inner wall of the ribs and open at the top at the position of the holes that pass through the insole.
- the tubes that form the suction valves can be replaced by ducts made inside the ribs of the intermediate sructure. According to the type of execution, the ribs on the intermediate structure can be inclined or curved to facilitate flexion under pressure from the foot.
- the expulsion valves are preferably membranes with cross cuts the thickness of which is greater, and their height lesser, the greater is the force programmed for causing them to open.
- the membranes can be discoid, cone-shaped, cap-shaped.
- the invention offers evident advantages.
- the quantity of heated air mixed with perspiration removed from the shoe by suction at each step that can be estimated at between 10 and 350 cm 3 , is considerably more than is needed to eliminate the amount of heat and perspiration that forms inside a shoe even under highly stressed conditions.
- Elimination of heat from the feet keeps them cool while elimination of perspiration keeps them dry.
- a cushioning effect can also be calculated.
- Fig. 1 The invented shoe, the sole of which comprises an insole, a tread and an intermediate structure, of considerable thickness to withstand stresses, side view.
- FIG. 2 Longitudinal section of the sole, through the axis XX.
- Fig. 3 Enlarged detail of Figure 2.
- Fig. 5 Insole, perspective seen from below.
- Fig. 7 Tread, perspective seen from below.
- Fig. 8 Walking shoe with thinner sole, side view.
- FIG. 9 Enlarged longitudinal section of the shoe sole in Figure 8.
- the shoe 10 made to withstand high stresses presents an upper 11 and a sole 15 consisting of the insole 20, tread 40 and elastic structure 25.
- Said structure 25 comprises the peripheral ribs 30, a network of transversal ribs 31 , valve bodies 32 with cylindrical holes 33 and the small chambers 38 formed by said ribs, open towards the tread 40.
- the tread 40 comprises externally the transversal channels 41 and, between one channel and another, the cylindrical holes 45 situated substantially in the centre of the chambers 38 f the membrane 30.
- Said holes 45 are closed by the conical expulsion valves with membrane 50, with the top 51 facing towards the outside of the tread, and with cross cuts 52 and 53. As the cuts are made in elastic material on the inside of the cone, the edges of the cut close hermetically when external pressure is greater than pressure from inside the shoe.
- valve heads 34 of the valve bodies 32 in the intermediate structure 25 are inside the tread 40. Said valve heads 34 are cone-shaped and are placed in line with said valve bodies 32, together forming the suction valves 35.
- the insole 20 presents, in line with the valve bodie ⁇ 32, holes 21 diameter of which is the same as that of said valve bodies 32.
- the holes 21 in the insole 20 and the holes 33 in the valve bodies 32 and in the valve heads 34 present the same geometrical axis (shown as AA in Figures 2 and 3).
- This axis lies substantially in the centre of each transversal channel
- the holes 45 in the tread for conical membrane expulsion valves 50 are situated substantially in the centre of the chambers 38 in the intermediate structure 25 and therefore between one channel 41 and another.
- Both the intermediate structure 25 and the tread 40 are respectively made in a single piece of suitably elastic plastic material.
- Figure 8 shows a walking shoe 60 with an upper 61 and sole 65.
- the sole 65 is substantially the same as the sole 15 for the shoe 10 but dimensions are smaller.
- Said sole 65 presents an insole 70, intermediate structure 75 and tread 85.
- the insole 70 presents holes 71.
- the intermediate structure 75 presents ribs 76, chambers 80 and valve bodies 77 with cylindrical holes 78.
- the tread 85 presents cone-shaped membrane valves 90 for expulsion with orthogonal cuts 92, 93 in the holes 86. Said valves are thinner 95 and higher 96 than the membrane valves
- valves 90 in the shoe 60 open at the slightest pressure into the chambers 80, these are of the type best suited for ordinary walking, for children, for rubber boots and the like.
