Benefits of technology

[0006]In view of the foregoing, it is an objective of the present invention to provide an illuminous sole featured with bright, colorful, homogeneous and excellent illumination effect to cover a certain scope and range, while without increasing the quantity of light emitting devices as well as power consumption.

Problems solved by technology

However, the estate of the sole has its inherited limitation, and the light beam is projected directly from inside of the sole, consequently, the scope and range of illumination is also limited.
Nevertheless, the energy consumption will also be increased inevitably.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]Referring to FIG. 1, an illuminous sole 10 made in accordance with the present invention includes a sole body 20, and an electronic device 30.

[0017]The sole body 20 includes a left side 21, a right side 22, a front portion 23 and a rear portion 24. A left recess 212 pointing toward the right side 22 is defined on the left side 21, and a front-left portion 214 is arranged between the left recess 212 and the front portion 23. A rear-left portion 216 is arranged between the left recess 212 and the rear portion 24. A. right recess 222 pointing toward the left side 21 is defined on the right side 22, and a front right portion 224 is arranged between the right recess 222 and the front portion 23. A rear-right portion 226 is arranged between the right recess 222 and the rear portion 24.

[0018]The sole body 20 defines a compartment 25 located between the rear-left portion 216 and the rear-right portion 226, and includes a transparent portion 26 surrounding the compartment 25. As shown ...

Abstract

An illuminous sole (10) is configured with a sole body (20) and electronic device (30). The sole body (20) defines a compartment (25) and a transparent portion (26) surrounding the compartment (25). The transparent portion (26) has an external side (262) and an internal side (264) which having a plurality of reflecting surfaces (264b). The electronic device (30) is arranged within the compartment (25) and includes at least a first light-emitting device (34). Portion of the light beam projected from the first light emitting device (34) is directed outward from the outer side of the transparent portion (26) after the portion of light beam is redirected by the reflecting surfaces (264b). By this arrangement, the light beam from the first light-emitting device (34) is redirected and broadened to cover winder scope and range. In addition, interweaving of the light beams creates more brighter and colorful effect.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates to a sole, and more particularly to an illuminous sole with bright, colorful, homogeneous and excellent illumination effect to cover a certain scope and range.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]There is a variety of footwear with illuminated sole available in the market. The light beam projected from the sole serves a purpose for giving both illumination as well as courtesy to observer during night or in dark environment. In addition, the illuminated sole can also provide a dramatic effect for certain performing art. Taiwanese Utility Patent No. M408,261(US2012 / 0192462) discloses a footwear with a transparent sole in which a plurality of light sources are arranged so as to provide an illumination effect.[0005]However, the estate of the sole has its inherited limitation, and the light beam is projected directly from inside of the sole, consequently, the scope and range of illumination is also...
