Title:
靴底用ばね要素と該要素を有する靴底及び靴
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004538069
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The invention related to a springing element for shoe soles, consisting of at least one resilient cap-like member. According to the invention, the element has at least one notch, particularly a central cross-shaped notch, to divide the cap into at least four independent sectors communicating with each other along the base edge. The notch advantageously acts as a means for limiting the resilience range of the sectors whereby, upon reaching a certain flexing limit, the edges of the sectors come to mutual contact and restrict the range. Pumping means are further provided to increase air circulation inside the shoe and air exchange with the outside, as well as means for locally increasing the massage-like action of the dome on the sole of the foot. The invention also related to a shoe sole, and to a shoe having such element.
