Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a shoe with hygienic
device, more particularly to a shoe with heel, which has
ventilation device at its sole.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
[0002] A Chinese Patent No. ZL00242027.9 disclosed a kind of
ventilated shoe, it has a ventilated device operated by walking.
The air chamber of the ventilated device is set on the heel of the
shoe, on its sole there are some vent-slots, an air intake check
valve is set between the air chamber and the gathering-slot where
the vent-slots join with each other. Meanwhile, the air chamber is
joined with the air exhaust check valve, and the air exhaust check
valve is opened to atmosphere. This kind of ventilation device is
more suitable for the shoe with slope heel, but it is difficult for
the shoe with heel as there is an obvious 90.degree. step between
the heel and the sole piece. The step causes that the distance
between the intake end of the air intake check valve and the
gathering-slot where the vent-slots join with each other becomes
very short. Under the limit of the thickness of the sole piece, the
sole piece is easy to be broken at that place if the air-gathering
pipeline is too long. Therefore, the air must pass longer
vent-slots and then be gathered in the air-gathering pipeline. It
directly influences the inhaling ability of the ventilated device,
the inhaling is not concentrative, and the inhaling power is weak,
the effect of ventilating is reduced. Furthermore, under the
interference of the air exhaust check valve, the advantage brought
from the concave space on the heel can't be used, to enlarge the
air chamber for improving the ventilation quantity is restricted.
Moreover, the air chamber connects the air exhaust check valve by
direct insert, this kind of connection is easy to loosen, causes
the reduce of ventilating.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] It is an object of the present invention to provide a kind
of ventilated shoe with heel, which is capable to increase the
quantity of the ventilation and to improve the quality of the
ventilation.
[0004] To achieve this object, the present invention adapts the
following technical solution: a kind of ventilated shoe with heel,
includes several vent-slots on the sole piece, an air intake check
valve, an air exhaust check valve and an air chamber set in the
concave space on the heel, characterized in that the vent-slots on
the sole piece gather together near the center of toes transverse
line on the sole piece, and a convex air-gathering pipeline is
disposed between the gather point and the air intake check valve.
Due to the length of the air-gather pipeline is increased, and the
entrance of the air-gather pipeline directly extends to the center
of toes transverse line, then, the collected air from the shoe
chamber passing through the vent-slots can be congregated in a
relatively short distance; therefore, the air chamber's inhaling
force is centralized and increased, and thus the ventilation
quantity and quality both are improved.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0005] FIG. 1 is a partially schematic view of an embodiment of the
invention.
[0006] FIG. 2 is the right side view of FIG. 1.
[0007] FIG. 3 is the rear view of FIG. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0008] To enable a further understanding of the innovative and
technological content of the invention herein, refer to the
detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings
below:
[0009] The main components of the ventilated shoe with heel of this
embodiment are similar to a regular shoe with heel. In this
embodiment, several vent-slots set on the inner-sole (middle-sole
and inner-cushion) are generally the same as the disclosure of the
Chinese Patent No. ZL00242027.9, and the main differences are on
the structure of the sole piece (13).
[0010] As shown in FIG. 1, the sole piece includes several
vent-slots (1), an air intake check valve (12) and an air exhaust
check valve (3). The vent-slots (1) on the sole piece gather
together near the center of toes transverse line on the sole piece.
A convex air-gather pipeline (2) is disposed between the gather
point and the air intake check valve (as shown in FIG. 3). As shown
in FIG. 2, the outer surface (14) of the convex air-gather pipeline
(2) is connected smoothly with the sole piece through approach
ramp, in order to ensure the balance of the interface between the
sole piece and the ground and not to infect the use of the shoe. A
latex pipe (11) is sleeved on the outside of the pipe connection
between the air intake check valve (12) and the air chamber in
order to prevent air leaking. The convex-shaped air chamber (9) is
set in the concave space on the heel, and the annular surface (10)
of the air chamber (9) and the annular surface (15) of the heel are
on a same plane. Thus, the height of the raised surface of the air
chamber compare with the plane is ensured. For the ventilated shoe
with short heel it still ensures the height of the air chamber, and
still keeps the compression capability of the air chamber; for the
ventilated shoe with high heel the quantity and quality of the
ventilation are improved. Furthermore, the alignment of the annular
surface of the air chamber and the annular surface of the heel
forms a platform to stick with the middle piece, based with having
enough supporting area between the sole and middle piece, the
concave space of the heel gives a maximal possible space for the
air chamber, therefore, the volume of the air chamber is increased
much.
[0011] As shown in FIG. 1, the exhaust port (7) and intake port (8)
parallel with each other, and a convex L-shaped installation groove
(4) is set on the sole piece between the exhaust port (7) and the
outside of sole piece (as shown in FIG. 3). The exhaust port is
connected to the exhaust valve (3) through a soft pipe (5) mounted
on the L-shaped installation groove, and the exhaust valve (3) is
opened to the atmosphere. Because the exhaust valve is apart from
the heel, the concave space of the heel can gain a maximal space
for the air chamber. The connection between the exhaust port (7)
and the exhaust valve (3) is a soft pipe (5) which wraps both of
them, and as the interface is soft connection, there is no air leak
or connection loosening after long time usage, therefore, the
effect of the ventilation is good. In addition, there is a moveable
soft underlay (6) inside the soft pipe (5) to support the soft pipe
(5) through when it is bended.
[0012] In summarize, the present invention has the following
advantages compared with the prior arts: [0013] 1. It increases the
quantity and improves quality of the ventilation of the ventilated
shoe with heel. [0014] 2. There is no air leak problem after long
time using, it ensures the better effect of the ventilation. [0015]
3. It increases the lifetime of the ventilated shoe with heel.
[0016] 4. It realizes the ability of ventilation for the shoe with
heel.
