Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to shoe technology, and more particularly to shoe heels. Background Technology

[0002] Shoes are necessities in daily life, primarily used to protect the user's feet. With the fast pace of work and life, many people desire shoes that are easier to wear. The heel, typically located at the back of the shoe, offers different wearing experiences depending on its design. However, in existing heel designs, due to the use of relatively rigid and inflexible materials, it is often difficult for the foot to easily step into the shoe through the opening. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a heel support component and shoe design that improves ease of on and off to overcome these shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heel support component that helps improve the ease of putting on and taking off shoes.

[0004] Another objective of this invention is to provide a shoe that includes a heel support that helps improve the ease of putting on and taking off the shoe.

[0005] To achieve the first objective mentioned above, the shoe heel support provided by this utility model includes a first elastic body and a second elastic body. The second elastic body is disposed above the first elastic body, and the lower side of the second elastic body is connected to the first elastic body. The first elastic body and / or the second elastic body are semi-arc structures. The first elastic body includes a lower heel structure, a left heel structure, and a right heel structure. The lower heel structure is arranged continuously around the perimeter. The left heel structure and / or the right heel structure have a structural through hole that is proportionally reduced in size to its shape. The upper side of the second elastic body is bent outward to form an upper curved edge structure.

[0006] Preferably, the left and right helical structures are arranged in a near-right-angled triangle pattern, and the structural through holes are also arranged in a near-right-angled triangle pattern.

[0007] Preferably, the lower side structure is arranged in a C-shape, and the lower side edge of the first elastic element is bent inward to form a lower bending edge structure.

[0008] Preferably, the second elastic body includes an upper heel structure, a left support strip, and a right support strip. The lower side of the left support strip is connected to the left heel structure and extends forward and downward. The lower side of the right support strip is connected to the right heel structure and extends forward and downward. The lower side of the upper heel structure is connected to the lower heel structure. The height of the upper heel structure is greater than the height of the left and right support strips.

[0009] Preferably, the upper end of the upper side of the structure bends and extends backward to form the tongue body.

[0010] Preferably, the inclination angle of the upper side of the second elastic body relative to the first elastic body is between 2 and 70°.

[0011] Preferably, the hardness of the first elastomer is greater than the hardness of the second elastomer.

[0012] Preferably, the upper side of the left support bar and the upper side of the upper side of the upper side of the upper side of the upper side of the structure are recessed to form a first clearance notch, and the upper side of the right support bar and the upper side of the upper side of the upper side of the structure are recessed to form a second clearance notch.

[0013] Preferably, the first elastomer and the second elastomer are integrally formed from thermoplastic elastomer materials through layered injection molding.

[0014] To achieve the second objective mentioned above, this utility model also provides a shoe that includes the aforementioned heel support member.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, in this invention, a structural through-hole is provided in the left and right heel structures, which is proportionally reduced in size to their shape. This appropriately reduces the rigidity of the left and right heel structures. Since the left and right heel structures themselves are elastic, they are more easily deformed and bent when stepped on, reducing obstruction to foot entry and improving ease of foot entry and exit. Secondly, the upper side of the second elastic body 12 bends outward to form an upper curved edge structure. This structure enlarges the shoe opening, allowing the foot to enter the shoe more easily and improving ease of foot entry. The lower heel structure is arranged continuously around the perimeter, without weakening its strength and rigidity, providing good support. Furthermore, the structural through-holes allow air to flow through the left and right heel structures, improving the shoe's breathability. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To explain the technical content and structural features of this utility model in detail, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0023] This utility model discloses a shoe, which includes a sole, an upper, and a heel support 10. The main improvement of the heel support 10 is described in detail below.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the shoe heel support 10 of this utility model includes a first elastic body 11 and a second elastic body 12. The second elastic body 12 is disposed above the first elastic body 11, and the lower side of the second elastic body 12 is connected to the first elastic body 11. In the embodiment provided by this utility model, the first elastic body 11 and the second elastic body 12 are semi-arc structures. The first elastic body 11 includes a lower heel structure 111, a left heel structure 112 and a right heel structure 113. The lower heel structure 111 is arranged continuously around the perimeter. In the embodiment provided by this utility model, the left heel structure 112 and the right heel structure 113 are provided with a structural through hole 114 that is proportionally reduced in size to their shape. The upper side of the second elastic body 12 is bent outward to form an upper curved edge structure 121.

[0025] In this invention, a structural through-hole 114, proportionally reduced in size to the shape of the left heel structure 112 and the right heel structure 113, is provided. This appropriately reduces the rigidity of the left and right heel structures 112 and 113. Since the left and right heel structures 112 and 113 are inherently elastic, they are more easily deformed and bent when stepped on, reducing obstruction to foot entry and improving ease of foot entry and exit. Secondly, the upper side of the second elastic body 12 bends outward to form an upper curved edge structure 121. This upper curved edge structure 121 enlarges the shoe opening, allowing the foot to slide along it, making it easier to enter the shoe and improving ease of foot entry. The lower heel structure 111 is arranged continuously around the perimeter, maintaining its strength and rigidity while providing good support. In addition, by providing structural through holes 114, air can flow through the left heel structure 112 and the right heel structure 113, improving the breathability of the shoe.

[0026] Preferably, the first elastomer 11 and the second elastomer 12 are formed into an integral structure by injection molding using thermoplastic elastomer materials, which strengthens the connection between the first elastomer 11 and the second elastomer 12 and improves the overall integrity of the heel support 10. The aforementioned thermoplastic elastomer material can be TPEE, TPE, TPR, etc.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the left heel structure 112 and the right heel structure 113 are arranged in a near-right-angled triangle configuration, as are the structural through-holes 114. By setting the left heel structure 112 and the right heel structure 113 as near-right-angled triangles while ensuring their containment, the structural stability is guaranteed. The height of the connection points between the left heel structure 112 and the right heel structure 113 and the lower heel structure 111 is relatively larger than other parts, enhancing the overall structural rigidity and stability. Conversely, the height of the parts of the left heel structure 112 and the right heel structure 113 furthest from the lower heel structure 111 is relatively smaller than other parts, reducing rigidity and making the left heel structure 112 and the right heel structure 113 more prone to deformation and bending. Preferably, there is only one structural through hole 114 on the left helix structure 112 and the right helix structure 113. One structural through hole 114 is adapted to the structural shape of the left helix structure 112, and the other structural through hole 114 is adapted to the structure of the right helix structure 113. This allows the left helix structure 112 and the right helix structure 113 to deform and bend in a regular manner.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the second elastic body 12 includes an upper heel structure 122, a left support strip 123, and a right support strip 124. The lower side of the left support strip 123 is connected to the left heel structure 112, and the left support strip 123 extends forward and downward. The lower side of the right support strip 124 is connected to the right heel structure 113, and the right support strip 124 extends forward and downward. The left support strip 123 and the right support strip 124 are strip-shaped and elastic, making them easier to bend when stepped on, facilitating foot insertion. The left support strip 123 extends forward and downward to adapt to changes in the outer contour of the left heel structure 112, and the right support strip 124 extends forward and downward to adapt to changes in the outer contour of the right heel structure 113. The lower side of the upper heel structure 122 is connected to the lower heel structure 111. The height of the upper heel structure 122 is greater than the height of the left support bar 123 and the right support bar 124, providing sufficient support. Furthermore, the upper end of the upper heel structure 122 bends and extends rearward to form a tongue portion 125. The tongue portion 125 further increases the shoe opening and provides greater adjustment space when the foot is put on. The foot can slide into the shoe along the tongue portion 125 and slide out of the shoe along the tongue portion 125.

[0029] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the first elastomer 11 and the second elastomer 12 have different hardnesses. Since the second elastomer 12 is in the first sufficient contact with the human body, its hardness can be appropriately reduced to facilitate deformation and bending. Preferably, the hardness of the first elastomer 11 is greater than that of the second elastomer 12. For example, the Shore hardness of the second elastomer 12 is approximately 45, and the Shore hardness of the first elastomer 11 is approximately 55. However, these values ​​are merely illustrative and not the only way to implement this solution.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the connection between the left support strip 123 and the upper heel structure 122 is recessed to form a first clearance notch 126, and the connection between the upper side of the right support strip 124 and the upper side of the upper heel structure 122 is recessed to form a second clearance notch 127. The thickness of the second elastic body 12 at the first clearance notch 126 and the second clearance notch 127 is reduced, which appropriately reduces the rigidity at the connection, making the heel support 10 easier to bend and deform. Preferably, the first clearance notch 126 and the second clearance notch 127 are arc-shaped notches, but this is not a limitation.

[0031] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the first elastomer 11 and the second elastomer 12 are made of different materials, so they can be clearly distinguished. However, the first elastomer 11 and the second elastomer 12 can be made of the same material. Since the first elastomer 11 and the second elastomer 12 are injection molded in layers, the boundary between them is also clear enough to clearly distinguish the first elastomer 11 and the second elastomer 12.

[0032] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the left heel structure 112 and the right heel structure 113 are arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to the structural center line of the shoe heel support member 10, and the left support strip 123 and the right support strip 124 are arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to the structural center line of the shoe heel support member 10.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the lower heel structure 111 is arranged in a C-shape to match the heel of the human foot and provide sufficient support. The lower side of the first elastic body 11 bends inward to form a lower curved edge structure 115, which allows the heel support 10 to connect better with the sole.

[0034] The above-disclosed examples are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
