The invention relates to a shock absorbing device for a shoe sole.
Shoe soles require, in addition to a light weight and a stable foot support function, a shock absorption function for absorption and cushioning of impact during placement. Recently, certain shoes have been proposed which have a reset function and functions mentioned above. The reset function is a function in which the impact energy at the time of fitting in a shoe sole is stored as deformation energy and the stored deformation energy is released at the time of leaving the ground. This feature enhances the athletic ability of a wearer.
The deformation energy is stored in an element of the shoe sole by compression, bending or the like of the element. In general, however, viscoelastic materials with a small modulus of elasticity, e.g. As resin foam, which are commonly used as a damping part of shoe soles, have no high reset function, since the energy at the time of deformation is dissipated as heat, etc.
The following documents disclose shoe sole structures with the above-mentioned reset function.

In the Japanese Patent Laid-open JP H10-257 904 A and Japanese Laid-Open Patent JP H10-262 706 A disclosed shoes, the entire rear foot section is supported by a single leaf spring. Thus, the support for the rear foot section may become unstable.
In the Japanese Patent Laid-open JP H10-257 904 A , Japanese Patent Laid-open JP H10-262 706 A and Japanese Laid-Open Patent JP H03-26 202 A disclosed shoes, a leaf spring or a coil spring is placed in the rear foot section. Since energy is stored in these springs, thus a high reset function can be achieved. But these shoes may have difficulty in deflecting the shock and may not be able to stably support the foot.
The feather 101 disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open JP H03-26 202 A disclosed is housed in the shoe sole. In such a structure, some of the impact energy is absorbed at the time of touchdown and consumed in the sole, and the rest of the energy is absorbed by the spring. As a result, the amount of energy that can be stored by the spring is reduced.
The Japanese Patent Laid-Open JP H01-74 705 A disclosed shoe has a cavity formed in the shoe sole. A reaction plate is installed in this cavity. The reaction plate has upper and lower sides facing each other, and front and rear curved parts connecting the upper and lower sides facing each other. A Geldabsämpfungsteil is provided in the reaction plate.
Since the reaction plate is also housed in the shoe sole in this known shoe, the shoe has similar disadvantages as the shoe in the Japanese Patent Laid-open JP H03-26 202 A , It is assumed that the part in which the deformation energy due to the impact of seating is stored mainly concerns the front and rear curved parts and not the upper and lower sides facing each other.
In this shoe, the impact load of the landing on the oval spring acts after being distributed in the sole. Accordingly, since the distributed impact load acts on each part of the oval spring as a distributed load, it is considered that the amount of deflection of the endless spring is small. Therefore, the impact energy in the oval spring can not be sufficiently stored.
US Patent US Pat. No. 6,598,320 B2 and US patent US Pat. No. 6,694,642 B2 do not disclose a bending deformation member having a generally V-shaped or U-shaped cross-section.
In the in the US patent US Pat. No. 6,658,102 B1 disclosed shoe sole, the plate is arranged so that it extends over the entire rear foot part.
The DE 101 12 821 C1 discloses a shoe sole, in particular for a sports shoe, with a load distribution plate which is arranged in the heel region of the shoe sole, at least one damping element arranged below the load distribution plate, which determines the damping behavior of the shoe sole at the first ground contact with the heel, and at least one arranged below the load distribution plate guide element with material properties that bring the foot into a neutral position after the first contact with the ground.
Therefore, it is an object of the invention to provide a shock absorbing device for a shoe sole that sufficiently satisfies a high damping function and a high recovery function by absorbing and storing the impact load of the landing while stably supporting the foot.
According to the invention, a shock absorbing device according to claim 1 is provided. The dependent claims define embodiments.
9A shows an important part of a shock absorption device according to the invention for a shoe sole.
As in 9A shown is the deformation element 3 sandwiched between the outsole and the midsole, at least partially positioned on a perimeter of a rearfoot member. The deformation element 3 has a bending deformation part 30 on, which opens from the middle of the rear foot part in the direction of the circumference. The bending deformation part 30 indicates: the lower plate section 31 which is attached to the upper surface of the outsole; the upper plate section 32 which is attached to the lower surface of the midsole and the opening angle with respect to the lower plate portion 31 forms; and a curved section 33 of the lower plate section 31 and the upper plate portion 32 combines. The lower plate section 31 , the upper plate section 32 and the curved section 33 are made of synthetic resin in one piece.
The lower and upper plate section 31 . 32 have respective opposite surfaces 51 . 52 that face each other. The opposite surface 51 of the lower plate section 31 and the opposite surface 52 of the upper plate section 32 gradually move away from each other, as well as the distance from the curved section 33 increases. A rubber-like or sleeve-like compression molding part 35 is between the lower and upper plate section 31 . 32 inserted, and the compression deformation portion deforms to store a restoring force while it is compressed.
When in 9A a one-sided load to a position near the outer periphery of the upper plate portion 32 is applied, the upper plate portion rotates 32 around the curved section 33 , That is, the upper plate portion 32 bends and shifts down so that the upper panel section 32 close to the lower plate section 31 zoom comes. At this time, the compression molding part becomes 35 almost over the entire area of the curved section 33 compressed to the opening. The upper and lower plate section 32 . 31 are arranged so that they form a tapered or conical cross section, ie the upper and lower plate portion 32 . 31 are configured to gradually move away from each other as they approach the opening. Therefore, a strain (deformation amount per pre-deformed unit height) of the compression deformation part is 35 Almost uniform over almost the entire area from the side of the curved section to the opening side.
On the other hand, if the upper plate portion 32 and the lower plate portion 31 are parallel to each other, as in 9G shown, the shape change of the compression deformation part is different 35 from the side of the curved portion to the opening side. That is, the shape change on the opening side may be much larger than the shape change on the side of the curved portion, and it may impair the stability of the shoe.
That is, in the case of the deformation element 3 with a U-shaped cross-sectional shape, in 9G is shown, the compression molding part 35 has a uniform thickness, the shape change of the compression deformation part 35 less at a portion near the curved portion 33 as at a portion near the opening when a one-sided load is applied to a position near the outer periphery (for example, when the impact of the first appearance is applied). On the other hand, when the compression deformation part 35 in the vertical thickness varies so that a taper or a cone is formed, as in 9A shown, the shape change of the compression deformation part 35 between the section near the curved section 33 and the portion near the opening to be the same when the one-sided load is applied.
If, as in 9G shown, the bending deformation part 30 has a U-shaped cross-sectional shape, the curved section would 33 move in the horizontal direction if it were compressed vertically. This shift can be for the transition between the bending deformation part 30 and the midsole become difficult. If, on the other hand, as in 9A shown, the bending deformation part 30 has a generally V-shaped cross-sectional shape, move or bend the lower and upper plate portion 31 . 32 such that they rotate relative to each other about the curved portion, whereby a restoring force in the bending deformation part 30 is stored. That is, the upper and lower plate sections 32 . 31 move vertically to get closer together without much displacement of the curved section. Therefore, the bending deformation part 30 and the midsole be easily attached to each other.
As the compression molding part 35 Conically, a displacement or inclination of the foot can be limited in the direction of the circumference of the foot, whereby the stability of the support for the foot increases.
Since the upper and lower plate section 32 . 31 Further, in order to form a conic shape, it becomes easy to remove a die or a die at the time of forming the bending deformation part.
The deformation element may be provided in addition to the rear foot part on a forefoot part of the foot.
In the present invention, the term "attach" means both direct attachment and indirect attachment.
The "rubber-like or sleeve-like compression deformation part" refers to a part that deforms to store a restoring force (reaction force) while being compressed, and includes not only a part having rubber elasticity such as thermoplastic elastomer and vulcanized rubber, but also sleeve-like or blister-like member into which air, a gel material, a soft rubber-like elastic material or the like is filled. The "thermoplastic elastomer" refers to a polymer material which has a property of vulcanized rubber at normal temperature and is plasticized at a high temperature to be molded with a plastic processing machine.
In the present invention, the rubber-like member, ie the rubber elasticity member, designates a member capable of great deformation (whose elongation at break is more than 100%, for example) and capable of restoring its original shape after the load σ (Sigma) is eliminated. In this part, in general, as in a solid line L1 of the stress-strain diagram of 10 As the shape change δ (delta) becomes larger, the amount of change of the load σ with respect to the amount of change of the shape change δ becomes larger.
Accordingly, in general, as in a broken line L2 of 10 For example, a material in which, when a load σ is larger than a certain size, the strain δ increases with a small increase in the load σ (eg, resin foam), not the rubber elasticity part.
As in 10 is shown, a proportional elastic limit σ F of such a resin molding is smaller than the elastic limit σ G of the rubber-like member. As a result, such resin foam could cause unstable support of the foot when a localized load is applied.
Note that the "proportional elastic limit" means a maximum load in the range where the relationship between the change of the compression load exerted on the compression deformation portion and the change in the amount of compression of this portion is proportional, that is. H. where the change of the shape change is proportional to the change of the pressure load.
According to the invention, the midsole essentially supports the entire rear foot part and is generally made of resin foam. The midsole may be formed of any material as long as the midsole can distribute the shock transmitted by the deformation element, and therefore, for example, may be formed of a non-foam of soft resin.
According to the invention, the modulus of elasticity of the midsole or the modulus of elasticity of the compression deformation portion is smaller than that of the bending deformation portion. Here, "Young's modulus" means a relationship between the stress and the strain at the beginning of P I of the deformation of the material, as in FIG 10 shown.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the curved portion has a hinge portion, wherein the hinge portion is generally the center of rotation and the Biegeverformungsteil is generally in section V-shaped.
In a case where the bending deformation portion is sharply curved at the curved portion, that is, where there is a significant joint portion, the bending deformation portion deforms, so that the upper and lower portions rotate relative to each other around the joint portion when a shock load on extreme end away from Joint portion is exercised. Therefore, the displacement of the curved portion in the horizontal direction is small.
In this case, more preferably, the lower plate portion has a first lower portion located in a vicinity of the hinge portion and a second lower portion farther from the hinge portion than the first lower portion, the upper plate portion has a first upper portion. which is in a vicinity of the hinge portion, and a second upper portion farther away from the hinge portion than the first upper portion, wherein a first opening angle θ1 between the first lower portion and the first upper portion is larger than a second opening angle θ2 between the second lower area and the second upper area, and the second opening angle θ2 is about 5 ° or more. The opening angles θ1, θ2 are measured in an unloaded state.
Since the first opening angle θ1 at the curved portion is large, the vertical distance between the upper and lower plate portions becomes large at a position only slightly away from the center of the hinge portion. Therefore, the compression deformation portion having a large thickness can be inserted between the plate portions. On the other hand, since the second opening angle θ2 is set smaller, the compression deformation portion is hard to escape toward the opening when subjected to compression deformation.
The first opening angle θ1 is preferably set to be greater than approximately 30 ° and particularly preferably greater than 45 °. The second opening angle θ2 is particularly preferably set to about 10 ° to about 30 °.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the midsole has a first roll-up portion that rolls up from a bottom surface of a foot along a side surface of the foot, and the bend-deformation portion is provided with another roll-up portion formed integrally and continuously with the top plate portion to roll up along the first roll-up section
In a case where, as in 9F shown, a roll-up section 39 in one piece and continuously with the bending deformation part 30 is formed to engage with the upper plate portion 32 to be continuous, at the time of bending deformation: the closer to the top of the reeling section 39 The more the bending of the bending deformation part decreases 30 to. That is why the roll-up section does it 39 easy to support a load that is transmitted from the midsole, wherein the bending deformation part is at the periphery of the foot.
In a further shock absorption device according to the invention for a shoe sole, the deformation elements are positioned on the circumference of the rear foot part. The deformation member has the bending deformation part that opens from the center of the rear foot part toward the circumference, and the bending deformation part is generally V-shaped or U-shaped in section. The bending deformation part comprises: a lower plate portion attached to the upper surface of the outer sole; an upper plate portion attached to the lower surface of the midsole; and a hinge portion connecting the lower plate portion and the upper plate portion. The lower and upper plate portions and the curved portion are integrally formed of synthetic resin. A rubber-like or sleeve-like compression deformation member is interposed between the lower and upper plate portions, and the compression deformation portion deforms to store a restoring force while being compressed.
The bending deformation part is provided at least in a region from one side of the inside and the outside of the rear foot part to the rear end of the rear foot part. The lower plate portion is divided longitudinally into a region between the one side and the rear end.
When the bending deformation part is provided continuously and seamlessly from the inside or outside of the rear foot part to the rear end of the rear foot part, the smooth movement in which the sole of the foot gradually comes into contact with the ground after the rear end of the rear foot part on the ground is impossible.
On the other hand, in the bending deformation part of this shock absorbing device, the lower plate portion is divided separately. Therefore, the deformation corresponding to the region of the foot can be easily realized, and the movement of the foot during the period from the fitting of the rear end of the rear foot part to the front bend of the foot can be made smooth.
In the present invention, the expression "the bending deformation portion is generally V-shaped in section" means that the cross-section of the bending deformation portion along a line extending from the center toward the circumference of the rear foot portion is generally V-shaped, and such a bending deformation portion is configured so that the upper and lower plate portions gradually move away from each other in the direction of the opening.
In the present invention, "the bending deformation part is generally U-shaped in section" means that the cross section of the bending deformation part along a line extending from the center toward the periphery of the rear foot part is generally U-shaped, and such a bending deformation part is so configured such that the upper and lower plate portions are arranged generally parallel to each other.
In the present invention, by the expression "the bending deformation portion is generally V-shaped or U-shaped in section" is meant to include both, namely, "the bending deformation portion is generally V-shaped in section" and "the bending deformation portion is generally in section U-shaped ", and also the Biegeverformungsteil another form is included, for. B. cup shape, which is similar to the above forms.
A rigidity of the curved portion in which the stress concentration easily occurs may be greater than that of the upper plate portion and that of the lower plate portion. In this case, a thickness of the curved portion may be larger than that of the upper plate portion, etc.
According to a preferred embodiment of this device, the upper plate portion is provided continuously from the one side to the rear edge.
In this embodiment, since the upper plate portion is provided continuously, the landing shock can be easily distributed, and the upper plate portion can be easily attached to the midsole.
According to a preferred embodiment of this device, a notch portion is provided in the lower plate portion of the one side, wherein the notch portion is formed by notching an edge portion of the lower plate portion away from the hinge portion. This notch portion may be generally U-shaped.
In this case, the notch portion allows a smoother movement of the foot after touchdown.
According to a preferred embodiment in this device, a first reinforcing member for reinforcing an arc of the shoe sole is formed integrally with the bending deformation member.
The first reinforcing member serves to prevent the torsion of the sheet.
According to a preferred embodiment of this device, a connecting part for connecting the midsole and the bending deformation part between the midsole and the bending deformation part is arranged, and the connecting part is formed in a loop shape such that it on the inside, the rear part, on the outside and on a front end of the rear foot part is continuous.
Such a connecting part with the loop shape in the rear foot part serves to prevent the torsion of the rear foot part.
In this case, it is particularly preferable that a second reinforcing member for reinforcing an arc of the shoe sole is formed integrally with the connecting member.
The second reinforcement part of the connection part serves to prevent the torsion of the sheet.
According to a preferred embodiment of this device, a connection part for connecting the midsole and the bending deformation part is arranged between the midsole and the bending deformation part. The modulus of elasticity of the material forming the connection part is greater than that of the material forming the midsole and smaller than that of the material forming the bending deformation part.
In this case, the landing shock is distributed by the relatively hard bending deformation part and further distributed by the relatively soft connection part. Thus, the function of distributing the impact can be improved, and a soft feeling can be generated on the sole of the foot.

The invention will be better understood by reference to the following description of preferred embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It will, however, be appreciated that the embodiments and the drawings are merely illustrative and explanatory and should not be used to define the scope of the invention. The scope of the invention is to be defined only by the appended claims. In the appended drawings, the same reference numerals designate the same or corresponding parts throughout the several views.
1 to 8th show the first embodiment.
1A shows an outside of the shoe (for a left foot) of the first embodiment, and 1B shows an inside of the same shoe.
As in 1A . 1B As shown, the shoe sole of this embodiment has a midsole M, an outsole 2 , a deformation element 3 and a connection part 4 on. The deformation element 3 consists of a bending deformation part 30 and rubbery parts 35 (an example of a compression deformation part).
The outsole 2 is to the lower surface of the midsole M in the forefoot part (toe part) 1F added. The connecting part 4 is attached to the lower surface of the midsole M in an area extending from the midfoot portion (arch portion) 1M and the rear foot part (heel part) 1B extends. The upper surface of the bending deformation part 30 is to the lower surface of the connecting part 4 attached, and the rubbery parts 35 are sandwiched between sections of the bending deformation part 30 arranged. The outsole 2 is to the lower surface of the bending deformation part 30 added. An insole or insole (not shown) is adhesively bonded to the midsole.
In 1A . 1B is the connecting part 4 hatched to better understand the relationship between parts.
The midsole M is formed, for example, of a material suitable for impact absorption, e.g. Resin foam of an EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer), polyurethane or the like. Above the midsole M and the insole, the upper U, which is suitable for covering the instep of the foot, is arranged as indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG 1A . 1B shown. The outsole 2 consists of a material with a higher abrasion resistance than the midsole M and has a ground contacting surface 2a that touches the floor surface or floor surface when placed.
The connecting part 4 and the bending deformation part 30 are between the outsole 2 and the midsole M at the front end of the midfoot part 1M sandwiched.
In 2 the representation of the outsole of the forefoot part is omitted. In the figures, the arrow INSIDE shows the direction to the inside of the foot, and the arrow OUT shows the direction to the outside of the foot.
As in 2 shown is the outsole 2 along the circumference of the rear foot part 1B arranged and divided into three parts. The three-part outsoles 2 are located on the outside of the rear foot part 1B , the inside of the rear foot part 1B and the rear end of the rear foot part, and they are spaced from each other.
As in 3 shown is the bending deformation part 30 over the outsole 2 placed along the perimeter of the foot in the area extending from the midfoot 1M ( 1A ) and from the rear foot part 1B ( 1A ). The connecting part 4 over the bending deformation part 30 is disposed along the circumference of the foot in a region extending from the midfoot part and the rear foot part and covering substantially the entire midfoot part of the midsole M.
3 . 4 are exploded perspective views of the deformation element 3 , the connecting part 4 and the midsole M. 3 is a view from the bottom side, and 4 is a view from the upper side.
As in 3 shown is the bending deformation part 30 of the deformation element 3 generally horseshoe-shaped in a plan view (similar to a U-shape) and extending from the inside of the midfoot part over the inside inside, the back end and the outside outside of the rear foot part to the outside outside of the midfoot part. A section of the bending deformation part 30 in the middle foot part forms a first reinforcement part 38 to restrict the torsion of the bow. In the rear foot part, the bending deformation part 30 a lower plate portion 31 which is located on the outsole side, and an upper plate portion 32 on, which is on the midsole side. The rubbery parts 35 are between the lower and upper plate sections 31 . 32 inserted. This bending deformation part 30 is at an attachment area 4a placed on the lower surface of the connecting part 4 is provided, and attached to the lower surface of the midsole M.
The connecting part 4 that between the deformation element 3 and the midsole M is disposed extends from the midfoot to the rear foot. In the rear foot part is the connecting part 4 formed in a loop shape to extend over the inner side, the rear end and the outer side OUTSIDE of the rear foot part. An opening 41 is in the connecting part 4 provided at the central portion of the rear foot part. In the middle foot part covers the connecting part 4 essentially the entire midsole M and forms a second reinforcement part 42 for limiting the torsion of the bow of the shoe. The connecting part 4 is at a connection surface 12 attached, which is provided on the lower surface of the midsole M.
In the middle section of the middle foot are the connecting part 4 and the midsole M attached to each other. That is, in the central portion of the middle foot part are the connecting part 4 and the midsole M vertically spaced from each other. Because the opening 41 in the connection part 4 is provided, the lower surface of the midsole M is exposed in the central portion of the rear foot, without passing through the connecting part 4 or the deformation element 3 to be covered ( 2 ). Such a structure allows the midsole M to sink in the middle portion of the rear foot part, thereby improving the cushioning property.
Deformation element:
As in 5A . 5B shown has the deformation element 3 a bending deformation part 30 and three rubbery parts 35 on. The bending deformation part 30 indicates: the upper plate section 32 passing through the connecting part 4 is indirectly attached to the lower surface of the midsole M; the lower plate section 31 which attaches to the upper surface of the outsole 2 is attached; and a joint section 33 (an example of a curved section) covering the upper and lower sections 32 . 31 combines. The upper and lower plate section 32 . 31 and the joint section 33 are made of synthetic resin integral with each other.
As in 5A is shown, the upper plate portion 32 provided along the circumference of the rear foot portion and with a first reinforcing part 38 connected to the midfoot. The rear end portion of the upper plate portion 32 is partially notched ( 3 ). Several generally rectangular through holes 55 are in the upper panel section 32 intended.
As in 5B shown is the lower plate section 31 provided along the circumference of the rear foot part. The lower plate section 31 is longitudinally divided in a position between the rear end and the inside of the rear foot part and in a position between the rear end and the outside of the rear foot part. Therefore, the lower plate portion 31 divided into three separate regions: the Inner side region of the rear foot part; the rear end region of the hindfoot part; and the outside region of the rear foot part. Each region of the lower plate section 31 has a generally U-shaped notch 37 at an extreme end away from the joint section 33 ,
Three rubbery parts 35 are each between the upper and lower plate portion 32 . 31 sandwiched and adhered to the upper and lower plate sections 32 . 31 added. As in 6A shown has the rubbery part 35 a plane shape, that of the respective region of the lower plate portion 31 matches, and has a score 35c in a position that the notch 37 of the lower plate section 31 equivalent.
As in 5A shown are the upper protrusions 35a projecting upwards on the upper surface of the rubber-like part 35 intended. The upper projections 35a are in the through holes 55 of the upper plate section 32 inserted and engaged with these. So if the deformation element 3 is compressed vertically in a connecting process of the production of the deformation element, the rubber-like parts 35 between the upper and lower plate sections 32 . 31 be supported stably. To the rubbery parts 35 stable between the upper and lower plate sections 32 . 31 to support, the upper plate section 32 and / or the lower plate portion 31 have a through hole and / or a projection.
Thus, the lower plate portion 31 divided into three regions which are spaced apart and the three rubbery parts 35 are arranged according to the three regions. It facilitates the deformation of the shoe sole corresponding to the regions of the hindfoot part and allows a smooth movement of the foot during the period from the placement of the rear end of the rear foot part to the front bending or rolling of the foot. Furthermore, the notches allow 37 of the lower plate section 31 and the notches 35c the rubbery parts 35 a smoother movement of the foot.
The modulus of elasticity of a material containing the bending deformation element 30 is greater than that of a material that forms the midsole M, and larger than that of a material that the outsole 2 forms. Further, the elastic modulus of the material that is the flexural deformation part 30 forms, preferably set greater than the modulus of elasticity of a material that the connecting part 4 forms, and the modulus of elasticity of the material that the connecting part 4 is preferably set greater than the modulus of elasticity of the material forming the midsole M. By such settings, the Aufsetzstoß by the relatively hard Biegeverformungsteil 30 distributed and through the connecting part 4 even more distributed, creating a soft feeling on the sole of the foot.
In view of the damping property and the stability, the elastic modulus of the rubber-like member is 35 (Coefficient of elasticity within the proportional elastic limit) is preferably 0.1 kp / mm 2 to 5.0 kp / mm 2 , more preferably 0.3 kp / mm 2 to 3.0 kp / mm 2, and particularly preferably 0.3 kp / mm 2 to 2.0 kp / mm 2 . In this case, the elastic modulus of the bending deformation part is 30 preferably 1.0 kp / mm 2 to 30 kp / mm 2 , more preferably 2.0 kp / mm 2 to 15 kp / mm 2 and most preferably 3.0 kp / mm 2 to 10 kp / mm 2 set.
The rubbery part 35 For example, it may be formed of rubber or rubbery synthetic resin (thermoplastic elastomer). In the case where the rubbery part is made of rubbery synthetic resin, e.g. B. gel (trade name for the damping part) is formed, a material of the rubber-like part 35 For example, polyurethane gel or styrene gel, which is the adhesion between the rubbery part 35 and the bending deformation part 30 can improve.
The material of the bending deformation part 30 For example, it may be a non-foaming resin such as nylon, polyurethane and FRP. Instead of the rubbery part 35 For example, a part that deforms to store a restoring force (reaction force) while being compressed may be used, such as a sleeve-like member into which air, liquid or the like is filled.
Cut shape of the deformation element:
In this embodiment, as in FIG 7 . 8A shown, the bending deformation part 30 a generally V-shaped cross section in a region where the rubbery part 35 is provided and opens in the direction of the circumference of the rear foot, whereby an opening 56 arises. That is, the upper and lower plate sections 32 . 31 have respective opposite surfaces 52 . 51 facing each other, the opposite surface 52 of the upper plate section 32 and the opposite surface 51 of the lower plate section 31 Gradually move away from each other, as well as the distance from the joint section 33 increases, ie, as well as the way from the joint section 33 in the direction of the opening 56 runs.
The lower plate section 31 has a first lower area 31a which is located in the vicinity of the joint section 33 located, and a second lower area 31b closer to the opening 56 is considered the first lower area 31a , and the rubbery part 35 is in contact with the second lower area. The upper plate section 32 has a first upper area 32a which is located in the vicinity of the joint section 33 located, and a second upper area 32b that is in the vicinity of the opening 56 located, and the rubbery part 35 is in contact with the second upper area.
As in 9B is an angle (first opening angle) θ1 between the first upper area 32a and the first lower area 31a greater than an angle (second opening angle) θ2 between the second upper area 32b and the second lower area 31b , That is, the angle between the upper and lower plate sections 32 . 31 is in the vicinity of the joint section 33 larger and in the vicinity of the opening 56 set smaller.
The first opening angle θ1 in an unloaded state is preferably set at about 30 ° to about 120 °, more preferably at about 50 ° to about 100 °, and most preferably at about 60 ° to about 90 °. An average of the second opening angle θ2 in an unloaded state is preferably set at about 5 ° to about 60 °, more preferably at about 10 ° to about 50 °, and most preferably at about 15 ° to about 45 °.
In this embodiment, the second lower area 31b configured to be generally parallel to the floor surface. The second lower area 31b however, not necessarily be arranged in such a configuration, but may be configured to be inclined from the center upward or downward toward the circumference of the rear foot part.
As in 7 . 8A . 8B shown is a first roll-up section 19 formed integrally with the midsole M on the circumference of the rear foot part so as to be rolled up along the side surface from the lower surface of the foot. Outside the first reeling section 19 is a second roll-up section 49 arranged so that it extends along the first roll-up section 19 extends. In addition, outside the second roll-up section 49 a third roll-up section (an example of another roll-up section) 39 , from the upper panel section 32 of the bending deformation part 30 is formed through, arranged so that it extends along the first roll-up 19 extends. The first to third roll-up section 19 . 49 . 39 allow the bending deformation part 30 easily supports a load that is transmitted from the midsole M on the circumference of the rear foot part.
As in 7 shown has the rubbery part 35 such a shape that its vertical thickness becomes larger as it moves from the hinge section 33 between the upper and lower plate sections 32 . 31 removed to match the sectional shape of the bending deformation part 30 to be compliant. The rubbery part 35 is in close contact with the surfaces (the opposite surfaces 52 . 51 ) of the upper and lower plate sections 32 . 31 arranged.
Since, as mentioned above, the angle between the upper and lower plate portion 32 . 31 in the vicinity of the joint section 33 larger and in the vicinity of the opening 56 is smaller, the midsole M in the middle of the rear foot section does not thin. Therefore, the rubbery part 35 be made with a relatively large thickness, so that an improved damping property is achieved.
A side surface of the rubber-like part 35 that of the opening 56 is facing, is configured so that it is slightly concave at a vertical central portion. The reason for this is that such a configuration is the rubbery part 35 easier to deform when compressed. The side surface does not necessarily have to be concave, but can be configured as in 9B shown.
As in 5A . 5B . 6A shown is the rubbery part 35 in adaptation to the U-shaped notch 37 at a position concave, that of the notch 37 of the lower plate section 31 corresponds, and has an internal projection 35b projecting toward the middle of the rear foot part. Therefore, as in the sectional view of 8A shown in the position that the notch 37 corresponds to the rubbery part 35 in the bending deformation part 30 to the joint section 33 with no clearance to be in close contact with the surface of the flexural deformation part 30 to be. Such a close contact causes the rubbery part 35 stable between the upper and lower plate sections 32 . 31 is held. On the other hand, as in the sectional view of 7 shown in the other position, a gap between the rubber-like part 35 and the joint section 33 , Such a gap allows the rubbery part 35 towards the middle of the rear foot part escapes when it is compressed, and so can the rubbery part 35 deform easily.
The shape of the rubbery part 35 is not limited to the form used in 6A is shown, but other shapes can be used. For example, as in 6B shown the rubbery part 35 without an inner projection projecting toward the center of the rear foot part, that is, the shape of the inside of the rubber-like part 35 may be configured to extend along the hinge portion 33 of the bending deformation part 30 extends. In this case, it fits in almost all positions, the rubbery part 35 in the joint section 33 with no latitude to be in close contact. Therefore, the rubbery part 35 be supported stably. And since there is no gap between the joint section 33 and the rubbery part 35 can prevent foreign bodies or the like. From entering the deformation element and that the Biegeverformungsteil is damaged as a result of such foreign bodies.
As in 6C shown, the rubbery part 35 three inner projections 35b have, which protrude in the direction of the center of the rear foot part. Because in this case the inner projections 35b are provided at both end portions and the central portion, the gap between the rubber-like part 35 and the joint section 33 closed. Therefore, the penetration of foreign matter into the gap can be prevented while the deformability of the rubber-like member 35 stays high.
The bending deformation part 30 has, like this embodiment, preferably a generally V-shaped or trapezoidal cross-section, but may have a different cross-sectional shape. Further, in view of the bending property or the prevention of the penetration of foreign matter into the gap, various shapes for the cross section of the rubber-like member may be adopted 35 be applied. Such different forms of the deformation element 3 are for example in 9A to 9F shown.
For example, as in 9A shown, the upper plate portion 32 generally flat without the first and second upper surfaces being mutually inclined. Even in this case, as shown by a dot-dash line in 9A shown, the upper and lower plate portion 32 . 31 rotate relative to each other.
As in 9C . 9D shown, the bending deformation part 30 be configured so that the hinge section 33 has a substantially smooth arc in section and that the upper and lower plate portion 32 . 31 which are generally flat, gradually diverging, and a distance from the hinge portion 33 increases. In these figures, the rubbery part 35 interposed to extend to the hinge section 33 to extend without travel.
As in 9D . 9E shown, the rubbery part 35 a hollow section 35e or a slot 35d to have. Corner sections of the rubber-like part 35 may be rounded so that shear deformation occurs therein.
As in 9G shown, the bending deformation part 30 in section generally U-shaped, ie the upper and lower plate portion 32 . 31 may be generally parallel to each other.
Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate changes and modifications after reading the present specification.
