Background Art
Generally, shoes function to protect the feet of a user
5 and to absorb shocks, thereby providing the feet with relief
from fatigue. In recent years, a variety of functional shoes
that have such foot protecting and shock absorbing functions
have been proposed.
Particularly, in shock absorbing shoes that have the
10 specific function of absorbing shock, coil springs are
assembled in various manners in an effort to realize easy
repair and easy maintenance of the coil springs that are
elastically deformed in order to absorb shocks.
In the prior art, to assemble a coil spring in a shock
15 absorbing shoe, the coil spring may be embedded in the heel of
the shoe or may be assembled in the shoe using a support unit
and a bolt or may be assembled to the support unit by inserting
the coil spring into the support unit.
However, the above-mentioned conventional manners for
20 assembling the coil springs in the shock absorbing shoes cannot
reliably support the coil springs.
Further, when the coil springs of the conventional shock
absorbing shoes are loaded and compressed, the turns of each
coil spring may come into contact with each other so that the
25 coil springs may be broken by shocks.
2
v
The broken coil springs of the shoes must be repaired or
replaced by new springs, thereby imposing a financial burden on
users.
Further, due to the above-mentioned coil springs, the
5 conventional shock absorbing shoes cannot realize reliability
and cannot appeal to consumers.

Hereinbelow, a shock absorbing shoe with improved assembly
and operational performance according to the present invention
will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying
drawings.
5 As shown in Figs. 1 through 7, the shock absorbing shoe
with improved assembly and operational performance according to
the present invention includes:
an outsole 10; an upper sole 20 which is arranged on top
of the outsole 10 and has a guide portion 21; a support unit 30
to which includes a first support body 30A that is connected to
the outsole 10, and a second support body 30B that is connected
to the upper sole 20 and has a guide part 33 corresponding to
the guide portion 21; an elastic member 40 which is arranged
between the first and second support bodies 30A and 30B of the
15 support unit 30; and a supporting member 50 which is connected
to the first and second support bodies 30A and 30B of the
support unit 30 and moves upward and downward through both the
guide portion 21 and the guide part 33 of the second support
body 30B.
20 As shown in Figs. 1 through 4, in the shock absorbing shoe
with improved assembly performance and improved operational
performance according to the present invention, the outsole 10
is configured as follows.
The upper surface of the outsole 10 is firmly bonded to
25 the lower surface of the first support body 30A of the support
10
uni t 30 using a bonding agent or a strong adhesive. This
outsole 10 makes direct contact with the ground surface.
Here, the lower surface of the outsole 10 is a part that
comes into direct contact with the ground surface so that, in
5 order to absorb shocks and prevent slipping when the lower
surface of the outsole is brought into contact with the ground
surface. For this reason, it is preferred that the outsole be
formed using an elastic material, such as elastomer,
polyurethane or rubber.
10 Further, in order to improve the shock absorbing and slip
prevention function, the outsole 10 is configured as follows
using the above-mentioned elastic material.
That is, studs 11 are formed on the lower surface of the
outsole in such a way that a plurality of protrusions or a
15 plurality of prominences and depressions are formed on the
lower surface of the outsole. Accordingly, the outsole has an
improved shock absorbing function and an improved slip
preventing function.
Further, the outsole 10 has an integrated structure in
20 which the front sole and the heel of the outsole are integrated
into a single structure.
The above-mentioned integrated structure of the outsole 10
can solve the problem that has been experienced with a
separated outsole in which the front sole becomes separated
25 from the heel so that a user may fall over a stone or a
11
protruding object while walking.
Further, a stone or a protruding object may insert itself
between the front sole and the heel of the separated outsole so
that the stone or the protruding object causes the user
5 discomfort while walking. However, the integrated structure of
the outsole 10 of the present invention can solve the abovementioned
problem.
As shown in Figs. 1 through 4, in the shock absorbing shoe
with improved assembly and operational performance according to
10 the present invention, the upper sole 20 is configured as
follows.
The upper sole is arranged on top of the outsole 10. The
lower surface of the upper sole is firmly bonded to the upper
surface of the second support body 30B of the support unit 30
15 using a bonding agent or a strong adhesive so that the sole of
a user or an insole is laid on the upper surface of the upper
sole.
Further, a shoe body SB is connected to the top of the
upper sole 20 and covers the instep of the user, thereby safely
20 protecting the instep of the user when the user walks or
exercises.
In the upper sole 20 of the present invention, four guide
portions 21 having a grooved shape are formed at four locations
of a heel part at which four elastic members 40 are arranged.
25 Each of the four guide portions 21 is arranged inside an
12
y
associated elastic member 40 so that, when the supporting
member 50 that is combined with the first and second support
bodies 30A and 30B of the support unit 30 moves upward and
downward, the guide portion 21 functions to guide the upper
5 portion of the supporting member 50.
In other words, when the user walks and the elastic member
40 is repeatedly compressed and reverts back to its original
shape after being compressed, the guide portion 21 can guide
the movement of the supporting member 50 that moves upward and
10 downward relative to the elastic member 40, thereby realizing
improved operational reliability of the supporting member 50.
As shown in Figs. 1 through 6, in the shock absorbing shoe
with improved assembly and operational performance according to
the present invention, the support unit 30 is configured as
15 follows.
The support unit 30 is mounted to the upper surface of the
outsole 10 and to the lower surface of the upper sole 20 and is
combined with the elastic member 40, thereby supporting the
elastic member 40 at a desired location.
20 The support unit 30 of the present invention includes the
first and second support bodies 30A and 30B.
The first support body 30A is held in the upper surface of
the outsole 10. The second support body 30B is held in the
lower surface of the upper sole 20.
25 Further, the guide part 33 having a hole shape is formed
13
in the second support body 30B so that the guide part 33
corresponds to the guide portion 21 of the upper sole 20.
When the supporting member 50 moves upward and downward,
the guide part 33 guides the movement of the supporting member
5 50, thereby realizing the improved operational reliability of
the supporting member 50.
Further, in each of the first and second support bodies
30A and 30B, the annular protrusions 32 are formed at locations
at which the elastic members 40 are arranged. A depressed seat
10 31 is formed inside each of the annular protrusions 32 so as to
hold the elastic member 40 therein.
Further, in the support unit 30 of the present invention,
first and second holding bodies 35 and 37 having a disc shape
are mounted to the depressed seats 31 of the first and second
15 support bodies 30A and 30B by fitting or bonding.
The first holding body 35 is combined with the lower end
of the elastic member 40 and the second holding body 37 is
combined with the upper end of the elastic member 40.
Respective annular rims 35d and 37d are formed along the
20 edges of the first and second holding bodies 35 and 37, and
respective seat depressions 35e and 37e are formed inside the
rims 35d and 37d.
Further, fitting protrusions 35c and 37c are formed in the
centers of the respective seat depressions 35e and 37e so that
25 the elastic member 40 can be held by the first and second
14
yI
holding bodies 35 and 37 as follows.
When the opposite ends of the elastic member 40 are fitted
into the respective seat depressions 35e and 37e, the outer
circumferential surfaces of the opposite ends of the elastic
5 member 40 come into contact with the inner circumferential
surfaces of the rims 35d 37d.
Further, the inner circumferential surfaces of the
opposite ends of the elastic member 40 come into contact with
the outer circumferential surfaces of the fitting protrusions
10 35c and 37c. Accordingly, the upper and lower ends of the
15
elastic member 40 can be firmly held by the rims 35d and 37d,
the seat depressions 35e and 37e, and the fitting protrusions
35c and 37c so that it is possible to prevent the elements from
being removed or separated from each other.
Here, the elastic member 40 may be combined with the first
and second holding bodies 35 and 37 through fitting or bonding.
However, to realize easy assembly of the elements based on
the structural characteristics of the first and second holding
bodies 35 and 37, it is preferred that the elastic member 40 be
20 fitted into the first and second holding bodies 35 and 37.
Further, a protruding spacer part 36 is formed on the
lower surface of the fitting protrusion 37c of the second
holding body 37 so that, when the elastic member 40 is
compressed, the lower surface of the protruding spacer part 36
25 comes into contact with the upper surface of the first holding
15
y
body 35.
The protruding spacer part 36 in the above state can space
the first and second holding bodies 35 and 37 away from each
other by a predetermined gap so that it is possible to prevent
5 the turns of a coil spring 41 that is used as the elastic
member 40 from coming into contact with each other or from
striking each other when the user walks, thereby preventing the
elastic member 40 from being broken by shocks.
In Figs. 2, 3 and 6, the protruding spacer part 36 is
10 formed on the lower surface of the fitting protrusion 37c of
the second holding body 37.
However, it should be understood that although it is not
shown in the accompanying drawings, the protruding spacer part
36 may be formed on the upper surface of the fitting protrusion
15 35c of the first holding body 35 so that, when the elastic
member is compressed, the protruding spacer part 36 comes into
contact with the lower surface of the fitting protrusion of the
second holding body 37 and spaces the first and second holding
bodies 35 and 37 away from each other by a predetermined gap,
20 thereby performing the same operational function as that
described above.
Further, the second holding body 37 has a corresponding
guide part 37a, which is formed in the second holding body 37
in such a way that the corresponding guide part 37a is defined
25 inside the protruding spacer part 36 of the second holding body
16
y
37.
In other words, the corresponding guide part 37a is formed
inside the protruding spacer part 36 so as to correspond to the
guide part 33 of the second support body 30B so that, when the
5 supporting member 50 moves upward and downward, the
corresponding guide part 37a can guide the movement of the
supporting member 50, thereby realizing improved operational
reliability of the supporting member 50.
Here, the guide portion 21 of the upper sole 20, the guide
10 part 33 of the second support body 30B and the corresponding
guide part 37a of the second holding body 37 communicate with
each other so that the supporting member 50 can move upward and
downward thanks to the above-mentioned elements which are all
in communication with each other.
15 In the above state, the guide portion 21, the guide part
33 and the corresponding guide part 37a allow the supporting
member 50 to reliably move without interfering with the other
elements.
As shown in Figs. 1 through 6, in the shock absorbing shoe
20 with improved assembly and operational performance according to
the present invention, the configuration of the elastic member
40 is as follows.
The elastic member is placed between the first and second
support bodies 30A and 30B of the support unit 30 so that the
25 elastic ele~ent can absorb and attenuate shocks that are
17
y
applied to the heel of the user when the user walks, thereby
relieving the feet of the user from fatigue and allowing the
user to walk in comfort.
Here, a coil spring 41 is used as the elastic member 40 of
5 the present invention, in which the lower and upper ends of the
coil spring 41 are combined with the first and second holding
bodies 35 and 37, respectively.
In the above state, the coil spring 41 is firmly held by
the inner circumferential surfaces of the rims 35d and 37d of
10 the respective holding bodies 35 and 37, and by the seat
depressions 35e and 37e, and by the fitting protrusions 35c and
37c.
Accordingly, when a user wearing the shoes having the coil
springs 41 walks, exercises or is working, the coil springs
15 perform their functions as follows.
When a load formed by the weight of the user is applied to
the ground surface through the shoes, a reactive shock is
applied upward from the ground surface to the user. In the
above state, the coil springs 41 elastically absorb and
20 attenuate the shock.
Accordingly, even when the user continuously walks,
exercises or is working for a lengthy period of time, the coil
springs can efficiently absorb and attenuate the shocks that
are applied to the feet and body of the user, thereby relieving
25 the feet and the body from fatigue and realizing the healthful
18
function of the shoes and allowing the user to feel
comfortable.
Further, it is preferred that the coil springs 41 have a
square cross-section.
5 When the coil springs 41 are compressed by the load of the
user, the coil springs that are arranged in the shoe may strike
each other.
Here, when coil springs 41 having a circular cross-section
are used, the outer circumferential surfaces of the coil
10 springs 41 may come into contact with each other, so that their
striking each other may cause them to easily break.
However, when the coil springs 41 having a square crosssection
are used in the shoe and are compressed by the load,
the springs 41 come into contact with each other along the flat
15 surfaces thereof, thereby minimizing the breakage of the
springs even should the springs strike each other.
As shown in Figs. 1 through 6, in the shock absorbing shoe
with improved assembly and operational performance according to
the present invention, the supporting member 50 is configured
20 as follows.
The supporting member is connected to the first and second
support bodies 30A and 30B of the support unit 30 at a location
between the two support bodies so that, when the elastic member
40 repeats elastic deformation when the user walks, the
25 supporting member can prevent removal or separation of the
19
elastic member 40.
In other words, the supporting member 50 of the present
invention is coupled to the first and second holding bodies 35
and 37 that are combined with the first and second support
5 bodies 30A and 30B, respectively.
In the above state, the lower end of the supporting member
50 is combined with the first holding body 35.
The upper end of the supporting member 50 is combined with
the second holding body 37 so that the supporting member can
10 repeatedly move upward and downward when the user walks.
Described in detail, the supporting member 50 includes a
head 51 that is formed in the upper end of the supporting
member, a shank 53 that extends downward from the lower surface
of the head 51, and a locking part 55 that is formed in the
15 lower end of the shank 53.
Here, the locking part 55 is connected to the first
holding body 35 by a holding means FM.
The head 51 is seated in the corresponding guide part 37a
of the second holding body 37 so that, when the elastic member
20 40 performs an elastic action, the head 51 can prevent the
removal or separation of the supporting member 50 from the
second holding body 37. In the above state, the head 51
cooperates with a stopping means SP.
The construction for combining the supporting member 50
25 and the first holding body 35 with each other using the holding
20
y
means EM will be described hereinbelow with reference to Figs.
2 through 6.
A through hole 35b is formed through the center of the
first holding body 35.
5 Further, seat grooves 35a are symmetrically formed in the
lower surface of the first holding body on opposite sides of
the through hole 35b.
Further, an insert hole 55a is formed in the locking part
55 that is provided in the lower end of the supporting member
10 50.
Further, a locking pin 60 is provided. To combine the
supporting member and the first holding body with each other,
the locking pin 60 is inserted into the insert hole 55a after
the supporting member 50 is inserted into the through hole 35b.
15 Thereafter, the locking pin 60 is seated in the seat grooves
35a.
When the lower end of the supporting member 50 is combined
with the first holding body 35, the holding means EM performs
the following function.
20 The holding means EM can more easily and efficiently
combine the supporting member 50 and the first holding body 35
with each other.
Further, the assembled holding means can prevent the
supporting member 50 and the first holding body 35 from being
25 released from each other by vibrations or shocks that may be
21
applied both to the supporting member and to the first holding
body when a user wearing the shoes walks.
To realize the above-mentioned function of the holding
means FM, the locking pin 60 of the holding means FM is seated
5 in the seat grooves 35a of the first holding body 35 after the
locking pin 60 has been inserted into the insert hole 55a of
the supporting member 50 so that the locking pin 60 can hold
and prevent rotation of the supporting member 50 irrespective
of vibrations or shocks that are applied to the supporting
10 member.
Fig. 7 illustrates a modification of the holding means FM.
In the modification, an internal thread 35f is formed on
the inner circumferential surface of the through hole 35b of
the first holding body 35, and an external thread 55b is formed
15 around the outer circumferential surface of the locking part 55
of the supporting member 50 so that the supporting member 50
can be tightened to the holding body 35 by rotating the
supporting member relative to the holding body.
In the above state, it is preferred that the upper surface
20 of the head 51 of the supporting member 50 be recessed to form
a straight recess, a cross recess or a combined recess so that
the supporting member and the first holding body can be easily
assembled and disassembled using a tool.
Hereinbelow, the structure for combining the supporting
25 member 50 with the second holding body 37 using the stopping
22
means SP will be described with reference to Figs. 2 through 7.
A stopper 37b is formed in the lower part of the
corresponding guide part 37a of the second holding body 37.
That is, the stopper 37b is formed on the lower surface of
5 the protruding spacer part 36 of the second holding body 37.
Further, a shank passing hole 37f is formed through the
center of the protruding spacer part 36. Here, the diameter of
the shank passing hole 37f is less than inner diameter of the
corresponding guide part 37a but is greater than that of the
10 shank 53.
The stopper 37b is formed in the shape of a step at an
area around the shank passing hole 37f.
Accordingly, when the shank 53 of the supporting member 50
passes through the shank passing hole 37f, the shank 53 can
15 move through the shank passing hole 37f when the elastic member
40 is compressed and reverts back to its original shape after
having been compressed.
Further, when the elastic member 40 fully extends and
completely reverts back to its original shape, the head 51 that
20 is connected to the upper end of the shank 53 of the supporting
member 50 can be caught and held by the stopper 37b.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent removal or separation
of the supporting member 50 from the second holding body 37.
Although the shock absorbing shoe with improved assembly
25 and operational performance of the present invention has been
23
y
disclosed based on specific shapes and directions in the above
description, those skilled in the art will appreciate that
various modifications, additions and substitutions are
possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the
5 invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
