Description

Description of the invention

[0001] The invention relates to a sokmi, especially for use in sports activities, which in certain areas has a base, or pillow.

[0002] Especially when a person moves a lot and quickly, for example during sports activities,

his feet are placed in sturdy shoes. The shoe serves, on the one hand, to dampen shocks and ensure a firm fixation of the leg, and on the other hand, to prevent injuries to the soles when encountering various bumps or objects on the ground.

[0003] Because of the movement, the body will get very hot. To regulate heat, the whole body is the body

sweats to achieve evaporative cooling. A regulation sole that supports evaporation is known from US 5 724 838 A. Inside the shoe this evaporation will still be retained. This causes the foot inside the shoe to become very hot, causing the body to react with a further increase in sweating. Increased sweating will absorb the juices that are in the shoes, which causes the feet to be wet and the skin wet. Therefore, the protective action of the skin on the legs will be reduced, which leads to the formation of blisters. The leg is no longer able to carry the load.

|0004]In order to support the evaporation of the formed sweat inside the shoe, shoes with membrane tissue were made. Nevertheless, it showed that on that way, the removal of the humid climate inside the shoe is only possible to an insufficient extent. Also, the insertion of a thin membrane is possible to a limited extent to maintain the stability of the footwear.

[0005] Invention will provide midnight. The invention has the task of producing a juice that will

enable sufficient air conditioning of the shoe and thus achieve dry leg skin even during sports activities. According to the invention, this task will be solved by installing an air conditioning channel on the back of the foot.

[0006JAccording to the invention, a shoe has been produced, which enables sufficient air conditioning of the shoe and thus dry skin of the leg during sports activities. When the leg moves, a variable effect of overpressure or underpressure will be created between the heel and the tongue, so that the air in the air conditioning duct will be changed.

(0007) It is convenient to place the air-conditioning duct between two cushions or pads placed parallel to each other. This creates an additional height of the slot of the given shoe, which improves air circulation and thus moisture evaporation.

[0008] The advantage is cushions, or pads, inflated in position on both sides of the upper part of one shoe, so that the air-channel is placed directly under the tongue. This ensures optimal air exchange through the air conditioning duct. It is convenient that the air-conditioning duct is made of flat mesh fabric, preferably of Jacquard fabric.

[0009] In the implementation of the invention, a gap for air is formed between the air-conditioning channel of the shoe and the tongue of the shoe in the resting position. This will increase the effect of overpressure or underpressure when moving the legs.

[00101] In the further development of the invention, one air conditioning channel is provided on the inside and/or on the outside of the hood, which extends from the area of the horizontal plane to the edge of the hood. With this, the effect of overpressure, that is, the effect of underpressure, which when moving the leg to a small extent can appear laterally next to the shoe, will be sufficient to remove moist air from the shoe. This will further improve the air conditioning inside the shoes.

[0011] In the further development of the invention, the long sides of the air-conditioning duct are connected to each other via at least one bend, so that they cross in the area of the horizontal plane. With this, the position of the air-conditioning ducts on the heels is fixed, so the creasing of the soles on the heels is reduced. With the help of bandages, the air-conditioning duct is tightly fixed on the heels. Here, among other things, foot support is achieved. It is preferable to give a bandage made of "Elastane".

[0012] In the further development of the invention, an air-conditioning channel is provided over the entire surface of the heels. This ensures optimal removal of moisture from the heel surface.

[0013] Other development solutions and embodiments of the invention are specified in other dependent claims. Examples of the implementation of the invention are shown in the attached drawings, where they will be fully described.

Figure 7 shows a pair of sockets in a bottom view.

[0014] The shoe marked with 1 consists of one area of 11 toes, of one

heel area 12 and a connecting area 13 between the toe area and the heel area. Areas 11, 12 and 13 can, as shown in the example of execution according to figures 1 and 3, have a base of reinforced materials. It is also possible to use combined materials, such as, for example, sheared wool with elastic fiber materials, such as, for example,

Elastane.

[0015] One sleeve is attached to the leg of the shoe, which in the example of the execution according to Figures 1 and 3 extends to the top of the leg. It is also possible to connect the shoe either above or below, on the base of the ankle. At the end of the turned foot, a sleeve with a hem 14 is attached. From the hem 14, in this example of execution, an air-conditioning channel 15 extends to the connecting area 13, and is made of a mesh knitted fabric that regulates the climate. In doing so, the air conditioning channel 15 extracts moisture from the area of the exhaust upwards. Such air-conditioning channel 15 can be placed on the outside of the bone, either on one side or on both sides.

[0016] The tensioned 17 sapna also has one, marked with 16, air conditioning channel. The air duct 16 extends from the area 11 of the toes to half of the foot. It is possible to extend the air-conditioning duct up to the hem 14 of the skirt 1. This can achieve a greater performance of the air-conditioning duct 16. The air-conditioning duct 16 is made of a very thin fabric, for example from a mesh knitted fabric or from a Jacquard knitted fabric. Therefore, a gap is created between the air-conditioning duct 16 and the adjacent area.

[0€17]In this example of execution, on both sides of the air-conditioning channel 16, on the heel 17 of the shoe 1, a base 21 is placed. The base 21 is made thicker and extends from the area 11 of the toes to the foot. The pads 21 are similar to the front part of the foot made of a thicker material; they have to adapt to the very thin mesh knitted fabrics of which air conditioning channel 16.

[0018] The insole 1 is equipped with other pads 2 in different areas. In the example of the embodiment according to Figure 1, a distance pad 22 is placed on the insole 1 in the area of the heel. The shape of the distance pad 22 is adapted to the anatomy of the leg in that area. Further, in the area of the ankle, i.e. at the transition between the sole of the foot and the socket, a base 23 is placed, which is essentially ring-shaped. The annular base 23 includes one, essentially cross-shaped surface 24. The base 23 is made in such a way that it can be pulled over the surface 24.

[0019] The substrates 2 are generally made of fibers from artificial materials or from combined fabrics or combined threads or similar materials. In the example of the execution of the substrate 2, the juicer 1 is made of hollow fibers that are wrapped with wool or cotton yarn. Hollow chambers made of artificial yarn are particularly good for absorbing shocks and pressures. The binding area 13 can be woven from microfibers that help reduce friction. Also in the area 11 of the toes and the area 12 of the heel, on request, the footrest can be made of microfiber.

]0020] On both sides of the air-conditioning channel 16, in this embodiment, according to Figures 5 to 7,

six bends 18 are provided, which start from the base 21 for the distance, through the connection area 13 and on the opposite sides of the air-conditioning duct 16 are attached. If, in the modification of the example of execution, the bases 21 are not provided as the lateral borders of the air-conditioning duct 16, the bends 18 start directly from one side of the air-conditioning duct 16 and end after covering the connection area 13 on the other side of the air-conditioning duct 16. In the example of execution, two parallel bends 18 are always placed on the outer sides and the air-conditioning duct 16 is placed between them, and they are made of "Elastan". In this way, the air conditioning duct 16 is simultaneously tightened on the back of the foot 17.

[0021] In the example of the embodiment shown in Figure 2 and marked as a whole with 3, the shoe has a sole 31, on which a closed upper part 32 is placed. In the worn state (Figure 3), the user's foot rests on the sole 31, while the rest of the leg up to the ankle is covered by the upper part 32. The upper part 32 can consist of different materials. Although in the past leather was mainly used as the material for the upper part 32, today synthetic fibers and man-made materials are mainly used.

[0022] The upper part 32 of the shoe 3 has a tongue 33, over which - not shown - the shoe is laced. Shown here are the lugs of 34 shoes. The tongue 33 is filled with cotton wool in order to prevent pain in the user's feet when the shoe is tightly tightened, i.e. under heavy load. On the side of the shoe 3 are arranged air-conditioning zones 35, which, depending on the area of application of the shoe, are placed in different places and in various shapes and sizes. Klima-zone 35 is made of fabric for membranes.

[0023] The operation of the special arrangement of the pads 21 for maintaining the distance and the air-conditioning channel 16 will be explained with reference to figures 3 and 4. In the resting position, a slot 4 for air is formed on the basis of the different thicknesses of the air-conditioning channel 16 towards the adjacent tissue of the sole 1 and the tongue 33 of the shoe 3. This effect is enhanced by the maintenance pads 21, shown in the embodiment example. The bends 18 serve to ensure that the air-conditioning channel 16 is evenly stretched on the rear part of the foot, which, for example, prevents the formation of folds.

[0024] When the legs move, the air-conditioning channel 16 is pushed towards the tongue 33, whereby overpressure occurs in that area. This excess pressure causes the moist air to be quickly removed via the air-conditioning channel 16 to the outside. When the leg returns back to its resting position, the air gap 4 is formed again between the air-channel 16 and the tongue 33, whereby a negative pressure is formed in that area. With this variable negative pressure, the dry outside air will now be transported to the inside of the shoe via the climate channel 16. This mutual change of overpressure and underpressure between the tongues 33 of the climate channel 16 will be constantly repeated during running, which will lead to optimal air conditioning inside the shoes.

[0025] A similar effect can be achieved on the inside, that is, on the outside of the shoes. When running, the distance of the upper part 32 of the shoe is continuously changing, so that this area achieves one, even a small, pump action. This pumping effect can be achieved through an air-conditioning channel 15 placed laterally on the sole 1, which extends from the connecting area 13 to half of the foot, for additional air conditioning of the inside of the shoe.
