Title:
SHOCK ABSORBING SHOES WITH IMPROVED ASSEMBLY AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/149218
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
The present invention relates to shock absorbing shoes with improved assembly and operational performance. More specifically, there is provided a shock absorbing shoe comprising: an outer sole; an upper sole which is arranged on top of the outer sole and has a guide portion; a backing member which includes a first backing body connected to the outer sole, and a second backing body that is connected to the upper sole and has a guidance element corresponding the guide portion; an elastic member arranged between the first backing body and the second backing body of the backing member; and a supporting member connected to the first and second backing bodies of the backing member, the supporting member being movable upward and downward through the guide portion and the guidance element of the second backing body. According to the shock absorbing shoes with improved assembly and operational performance, the supporting member serves in particular to prevent the separation and isolation of the elastic member to thus improve durability of the shock absorbing shoe; and when the supporting member makes a relative movement (i.e. the upward and downward movements) at the time of the compression and restitution following the compression of the elastic member during walking, the guide portion of the upper sole as well as the guidance element of the second backing body receive and guide the relative movement of the supporting member, thereby ensuring operational reliability of the elastic member and the supporting member, respectively. Further, coupling the elastic member and the supporting member that secures the elastic member from both top and bottom sides can be achieved easily and conveniently by means of the supporting member, which in turn results in easier assembly, shortened assembly time and increased productivity, compared to those conventional shock absorbing shoes. Moreover, since all components can be taken apart easily by disassembling the supporting member only, the maintenance work can be facilitated and the work efficiency can be enhanced.
