Breathing shoes
Abstract
A Breathing Shoes, comprising an upper and lining, socklining,
insole, and outsole, wherein on the heel seat of outsole was put an
airbag. The airbag was connected with an air pipe, which extends to
the extension between inner layer and outer layer of upper. Portion
of the air pipe on the upper was provided with air punching holes
communicated with the atmosphere of in and out. The shoe could

Claims
1. The Breathing Shoes, comprising an upper and lining, socklining,
insole and outsole, characterized in that, on the heel seat of
outsole was put an airbag, the airbag was connected with an air
pipe which extends to the extension between inner layer and outer
layer of upper, portion of air pipe on upper was provided with
punching holes communicated with the atmosphere of in and out.
2. The Breathing shoes as defined in claim 1, wherein an window
correspond to the position of the airbag was provided in heel seat
of insole.
3. The Breathing Shoes as defined in claim 1, wherein at least one
air pipe were provided, either in inside quarter of upper or
outside quarter of upper, the circulation of air pipe would follow
up with any type of shoes in any upper design.
Description
[0001] The present utility model is related to a shoe, in
particularly, a kind of ventilated shoe, which is called "Breathing
Shoes".
[0002] As well-known, various foot diseases could be easily caused
by the heat dissipation and perspiration from foot, and more wet
and muggy in interior of shoes if wearing shoes for a long time, in
such condition, bacteria were especially liable to grow and
reproduce. At present, many solution have been utilized to solve
the said problem, for example, uppers with perforation, breathing
upper materials, socklining with sweat absorbent material even
though socklining with medicine . . . etc.
[0003] Moreover, in the current market, air cushion shoes with a
closed airbag in outsole were already developed and sold, but said
airbag was only used for the enhancement of elasticity while
walking, no effect at all for refreshing the air within the shoe.
Therefore, no specific shoes have been utilized the circulation of
air between interior and exterior of shoe to solve the problem of
air purification in shoes.
[0004] In view of the above problem, the present utility model
intends to provide a shoe, which could carry out circulation of air
between interior and exterior of shoes for air purification and
keeping the feet comfortably in a dry and ventilating environment
within the shoes.
[0005] In order to achieve said purpose, the present utility model
provides a shoe, which comprises an upper and lining, socklining,
insole and outsole; wherein on the heel seat of the outsole was put
an airbag. Said airbag was connected with a pipe which was through
under insole and extend to the interior layer of upper, the pipe
was punched through in several punching holes for communicating
with the atmosphere of in and out.
[0006] In comparison with traditional shoes, the present utility
model with those feature of airbag, air pipe and air punching holes
to function on circulation of air between interior and exterior of
shoes. While wearing shoes, air could be continuously renewed and
circulated between interior and exterior of shoes, so that air
within the shoes was kept always dry, clean and fresh.
[0007] In order to further understanding about the model on purpose
and clearly identify those objects with feature, the present
utility model was described in detail with a preferred embodiment
shown in following drawings:
[0008] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a Breathing shoe base on an
embodiment of the present utility model.
[0009] As shown in FIG. 1, is an embodiment of sporting shoe, which
comprises an upper and lining layers 11, socklining 12, insole 13,
and outsole 14. According to the present utility model, on the heel
seat of outsole 14, was put a resilient airbag 2, which was
connected with an air pipe 3, along the pipe channel of outsole and
then it upward extends from the sole edge into the upper 11 (not
shown). Portion of the air pipe within the upper was positioned
between the upper and lining, in which punching holes was provided
for communicating with the atmosphere of in and out.
[0010] According to the present utility model, an window 15, was
provided in heel seat of insole 13, then the airbag 2, could pass
through the window and over the insole slightly in height.
[0011] As people wearing the Breathing Shoe, their heel trample
firstly on the airbag to press air out of the airbag and it through
the air pipe into outsole, upper and lining, then air coming into
inside of shoes or outside of shoes by passing through punching
holes on air pipe.
[0012] When the foot lift for second step, the heel would be off
the airbag, at this moment the outside fresh air would be sucked
through the punching holes into interior of the shoes and the
pressed airbag would be also fully filled with the air.
Consequently, either people walking or running with the Breathing
Shoes, the airbag would continuously be pressed and restored, and
air would be always fresh, clean and dry to circulate between
interior and exterior of the shoes, and this function result will
prevent the foot suffer from disease also will make the foot feel
comfortably.
[0013] Base on the skill in the art, we might be easy to realize
the Breathing Shoes by introducing in detail with a preferred
embodiment, but various modifications could be made to the upper
design with conception. For example, although in said embodiment is
a sporting shoe, obviously, the conception of the Breathing Shoes
could be applied to any type of shoes in any upper design, it means
the air pipe could be provided either inside quarter or outside
quarter to meet design needs. Consequently, the scope of protection
of the present utility model should be defined by the additional
claims.
