Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of footwear, and more particularly to a footwear with a metal support plate. Background Technology

[0002] The design and development of footwear products has always received widespread attention, especially in the combination of functionality and comfort. As people's demands for wearing experience continue to increase, the footwear industry is also constantly exploring new technologies and material applications, striving to improve the functional attributes of shoes while ensuring aesthetic appeal.

[0003] Currently, common reinforcement measures in footwear manufacturing mainly include adding rigid plastic components or rubber reinforcement layers to enhance the durability and support of specific areas. However, when these materials are used to support the upper, the lack of sufficient structural support may lead to deformation of the shoe shape after prolonged use, causing the upper to flatten and affecting overall on-and-off efficiency. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to improve the flatness of the shoe upper and increase the efficiency of putting on and taking off shoes, this application provides a shoe with a metal support plate.

[0005] This application provides a shoe with a metal support plate, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A shoe with a metal support plate includes a sole body, an upper body disposed on the sole body, and a support member disposed on the upper body. The support member has a plurality of thinning holes through it along its own thickness direction, so that the support member is hollow.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the support components on the shoe upper effectively enhance the support performance of key parts of the shoe, preventing shoe deformation caused by long-term use, thus significantly improving the flattening of the shoe upper and increasing the efficiency of putting on and taking off the shoes. At the same time, the several lightweight perforations through the support components create a hollowed-out structure, not only reducing the weight of the metal support components to avoid burdening the feet, but also ensuring good breathability and improving wearing comfort.

[0008] Preferably, the support member is provided with reinforcing ribs located within the weight reduction hole.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the combination of reinforcing ribs and hollow design reduces the overall weight and improves wearing comfort while ensuring sufficient support performance.

[0010] Preferably, the reinforcing ribs located in two adjacent weight reduction holes are staggered in length direction.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the staggered arrangement of the reinforcing ribs in adjacent weight-reducing holes further optimizes the mechanical distribution, enabling the support component to have a more uniform load-bearing capacity in all directions and extending the service life of the shoes.

[0012] Preferably, the support member is made of titanium alloy.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a support component made of titanium alloy is incorporated into the shoe upper, which significantly improves the overall strength and durability of the support component while reducing weight, thereby effectively preventing the shoe upper from collapsing due to long-term use. Furthermore, the titanium alloy material also provides the support component with excellent corrosion resistance, extending its service life.

[0014] Preferably, the support member includes a first metal plate disposed on the upper body at the toe, the first metal plate extending to the toe surface of the upper body.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the first metal plate is set on the upper body at the toe and extends to the toe surface, which can effectively enhance the structural strength of the toe area and prevent the toe from deforming due to external pressure or long-term use. It can also better protect the toes.

[0016] Preferably, the end of the first metal plate near the inner side of the toe is shorter than the end of the first metal plate near the outer side of the toe, and the lower edge of the first metal plate is provided with a plurality of deformable notches at intervals.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the first metal plate being shorter at the inner end near the toe than at the outer end allows for a better fit to the foot's curve, improving wearing comfort and ensuring a uniform distribution of support. Simultaneously, the multiple deformation notches on the lower edge of the first metal plate further reduce weight while maintaining structural strength, allowing for a degree of flexible deformation, thus maintaining the toe shape while adapting to gait changes under different terrain conditions.

[0018] Preferably, the support member includes a second metal plate disposed on the upper body at the heel, the second metal plate extending to both sides of the upper body at the heel.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the second metal plate set on the upper body at the heel can effectively enhance the support performance of the heel area, prevent the upper from collapsing due to long-term use, and thus improve the overall stability and putting on and taking off efficiency of the shoe.

[0020] Preferably, the second metal plate includes a first part disposed in the middle and a second part disposed on both sides of the first part. The height of the upper edge of the first part is higher than the height of the upper edge of the second part. The two ends of the first part slope towards the second part, and the height of the upper edge of the second part gradually decreases in the direction away from the first part.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the first part is higher than the second part, which can provide stronger support in the middle of the heel and prevent deformation of the heel area due to uneven force. The design of the first part sloping towards the second part and the second part gradually decreasing in height can better fit the ankle curve, distribute pressure, thereby improving wearing comfort and effectively avoiding the problem of shoe upper collapsing.

[0022] Preferably, the first metal plate and the second metal plate are disposed on the outer surface of the shoe upper body, and the outer surfaces of the first metal plate and the second metal plate are provided with a protective layer.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the first and second metal plates are disposed on the outer surface of the shoe upper, which can directly enhance the external protection performance of the toe and heel areas, while also playing a certain decorative role in appearance. The outer surfaces of the first and second metal plates are provided with a protective layer, which can effectively improve the waterproofness and corrosion and oxidation resistance of the support plate, thereby extending the service life of the support plate and ensuring that the shoe can maintain good performance and appearance during long-term use.

[0024] Preferably, the support member has an elastic layer on its surface near the upper body.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic layer can effectively alleviate the rigid contact between the shoe upper and the supporting components, thereby improving wearing comfort. At the same time, the elastic layer can also absorb some impact force, reducing the transmission of vibration to the foot and further optimizing the user's wearing experience.

[0026] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] By incorporating support components on the shoe upper, the shoe's key support areas are effectively enhanced, preventing deformation caused by prolonged use and significantly improving upper flatness and ease of on / off. Simultaneously, several perforations running through the support components create a hollowed-out structure, reducing the weight of the metal components and minimizing strain on the feet, while also ensuring good breathability and enhancing wearing comfort.

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0035] This application discloses a shoe with a metal support plate.

[0036] Example:

[0037] A shoe with a metal support plate, see reference Figure 1 The shoe includes a sole body 1, an upper body 2 disposed on the sole body 1, and a support member 3 disposed on the upper body 2. The inner surfaces of the sole body 1 and the upper body 2 form a shoe cavity, and the upper body 2 is provided with an insertion opening 21 for the wearer's foot to enter.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The support member 3 can be made of an ultra-lightweight metal, such as titanium alloy. Support members 3 made of this material possess sufficient strength while being lightweight, reducing the burden on the feet. In this embodiment, the support member 3 has several thinning holes 31 extending along its thickness, creating a hollow design. The thinning holes 31 can be circular, elliptical, or regular polygonal, depending on the requirements. In this embodiment, they are specifically shown as regular hexagonal in a honeycomb pattern. The diameter of the thinning holes 31 can be adjusted according to the stress conditions during actual use.

[0039] Reference Figure 3Furthermore, the support member 3 is provided with reinforcing ribs 32 within the subtractive holes 31. Several reinforcing ribs 32 can be provided within one subtractive hole 31, the number of which is determined according to requirements. The reinforcing ribs 32 can be made of the same material as the support member 3, or other elastic plastics or rubbers, depending on the specific requirements. The reinforcing ribs 32 are arranged in a crisscross pattern. It should be noted that the reinforcing ribs 32 can be parallel to the side length of the subtractive hole 31 or inclined, depending on the specific requirements. When the number of reinforcing ribs 32 within the subtractive hole 31 is small, the length directions of the reinforcing ribs 32 located in adjacent subtractive holes 31 can also be staggered. It should be noted that the support member 3 can be manufactured using 3D printing, and the reinforcing parts can also be fixedly connected to the support member 3 using 3D printing technology.

[0040] Back Figure 2 The support member 3 can be installed inside the shoe upper body 2 or optionally outside it, depending on the requirements. In this embodiment, a support member 3 installed outside the shoe upper body 2 is shown. Furthermore, to reduce damage to the outer surface of the support member 3, a protective layer 4 can be provided on its outer surface. The protective layer 4 can be a TPU film, with a thickness determined according to requirements, to increase the waterproofness and corrosion and oxidation resistance of the support member 3, thereby improving its service life. To reduce the possibility of the support member 3 colliding with external hard objects and injuring the foot due to force transmission, an elastic layer 5 is provided on the surface of the support member 3 near the shoe upper body 2. The elastic layer 5 can be elastic foam.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The support member 3 specifically includes a first metal plate 6 disposed at the toe of the upper body 2 and a second metal plate 7 disposed at the heel of the upper body 2. The upper edge of the first metal plate 6 extends to the toe surface of the upper body 2, and the end of the first metal plate 6 near the inner side of the toe is shorter than the end of the first metal plate 6 near the outer side of the toe, so as to fit the foot.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 The second metal plate 7 extends to both sides of the shoe upper body 2 at the heel. Specifically, the second metal plate 7 includes a first part 71 disposed in the middle and second parts 72 disposed on both sides of the first part 71. The height of the upper edge of the first part 71 is higher than the height of the upper edge of the second part 72. The height of the upper edge of the first part 71 gradually decreases from the middle to both ends. The two ends of the first part 71 slope towards the second part 72, and the angle of this slope is greater than the angle at which the height of the first part 71 gradually decreases, making it relatively steep. The height of the upper edge of the second part 72 gradually decreases away from the first part 71, and the end face of the second part 72 is inclined towards the first part 71.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 Furthermore, the lower edges of the first metal plate 6 and the second metal plate 7 are each provided with a number of deformation notches 33 spaced apart along their own extension direction.

[0044] The implementation principle of a shoe with a metal support plate in this application embodiment is as follows: the support member 3 on the upper body 2 effectively enhances the support performance of key parts of the shoe, preventing shoe deformation caused by long-term use, thereby significantly improving the flattening of the shoe upper and increasing the efficiency of putting on and taking off the shoe. At the same time, the several weight-reducing holes 31 through the support member 3 realize the hollowing out of the structure, which not only reduces the weight of the metal support member 3 to avoid affecting the burden on the foot, but also ensures good breathability and improves wearing comfort.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
