AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a cycling footwear structure that has a composite sole with high stiffness and resilience. This increases power generated by the athlete or user and transmits it to the pedal through the footwear, resulting in increased safety. Additionally, the invention provides a method for making the footwear structure that reduces production costs.

Problems solved by technology

In particular, there is often the problem of having to abandon certain innovative technical solutions for producing high level products, in terms of performance and comfort, due to the high cost of procuring single moulds and / or moulds that can be taken apart which make it possible to obtain certain desired shapes and / or undercuts.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]With reference to the figures, 1 indicates a composite sole of a cycling footwear structure (not illustrated) according to the present invention.

[0021]Said composite sole 1 is made up of at least two parts: the first part that comprises a base sole 2 and the second part made up of at least one stiffening element 3.

[0022]The stiffening element 3 is substantially annular-shaped with a variable section passing from its front part 5 to its back part 6.

[0023]The base sole 2, as visible in FIG. 2, has, substantially along at least part of its perimeter, a recess 4, in which the front part 5 of the stiffening element 3 is positioned.

[0024]As visible in FIGS. 4-8, the stiffening element 3 has, in its front part 5, a section A′, taken along the axis A-A of FIG. 4. Such a section A′ is substantially two-dimensional, with the two dimensions being substantially equal to one another.

[0025]Section A′ can also have other configurations and / or geometries that are different from the two-dimens...

Abstract

Cycling footwear structure including a composite sole formed by at least one base sole and by at least one substantially annular shaped stiffening element, equipped with a front part, and with a back part and that extends progressively upwards until it wraps around at least one portion of the heel of a user and a method for making it.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention concerns a cycling footwear structure equipped with a composite sole and a method for making such a structure.STATE OF THE ART[0002]The development of technology in the field of sport footwear in general often comes up against the need, of production companies, to contain the production costs whilst still keeping a high quality product.[0003]In particular, there is often the problem of having to abandon certain innovative technical solutions for producing high level products, in terms of performance and comfort, due to the high cost of procuring single moulds and / or moulds that can be taken apart which make it possible to obtain certain desired shapes and / or undercuts.[0004]It is also important to be able to base the production of a product on a small number of production steps, so as to contain the time and costs related to the production.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0005]One purpose of the invention is to improve the state of...
