Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention provides a cushion structure, and particularly relates to a cushion structure comprising a support component and an elastic layer. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, the design of many garments and footwear items needs to consider protection. This is usually achieved by increasing the structural strength of the garments or footwear, or by incorporating padding into their structure. Generally speaking, footwear insoles have even higher protection requirements because they typically need to withstand high-intensity impacts and be resistant to collisions. Therefore, commercially available footwear often uses structural reinforcement materials in the insoles to enhance their structural strength and cushioning capabilities, thereby protecting the user's feet.

[0003] Generally, to enhance the structural strength or cushioning of insoles, their thickness or hardness is increased. These methods can reduce user comfort. Furthermore, the added weight of the insole due to the structural materials can hinder the user's freedom of movement when wearing footwear.

[0004] In view of this, the development of a pad structure with sufficient structural strength, wearing comfort and localized reinforced support, which can be applied to insoles, has become the goal of relevant manufacturers. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pad structure that solves the problems of low strength and weak support of the pad structure, as well as incomplete pad structure and poor user comfort.

[0006] The present invention provides a pad structure comprising a base layer, an elastic layer, and multiple support components. The elastic layer is disposed on one side of the base layer. The multiple support components penetrate the base layer and the elastic layer, forming at least two support structures, wherein the height of each of the multiple support components is greater than or equal to the total thickness of the base layer and the elastic layer.

[0007] According to the pad structure described above, the plurality of support components may include a plurality of first support components and a plurality of second support components, and at least two support structures may include a first support structure and a second support structure. The plurality of first support components form a first support structure, and the plurality of second support components form a second support structure.

[0008] According to the pad structure described above, the first height of each of the plurality of first support components may not be equal to the second height of each of the plurality of second support components.

[0009] According to the pad structure described above, the first height of each of the plurality of first support components can be 3mm to 12mm, and the second height of each of the plurality of second support components can be 13mm to 22mm.

[0010] Based on the pad structure described above, the distance between adjacent pairs of the plurality of first support components may be greater than the distance between adjacent pairs of the plurality of second support components.

[0011] According to the pad structure described above, the width of each of the plurality of first support components can be from 0.3 mm to 3 mm.

[0012] Based on the previously described cushion structure, the width of each of the plurality of second support components can be from 0.3 mm to 3 mm.

[0013] According to the pad structure described above, each of the plurality of first support components may be a nylon first support component, a polypropylene first support component, or a polyester first support component, and each of the plurality of second support components may be a nylon second support component, a polypropylene second support component, or a polyester second support component.

[0014] According to the pad structure described above, the wire diameter of each of the plurality of first support components can be from 0.3 μm to 0.6 μm, and the wire diameter of each of the plurality of second support components can be from 0.3 μm to 0.6 μm.

[0015] Based on the previously described cushion structure, the elastic layer can be a plastic elastic layer, a latex elastic layer, a rubber elastic layer, a foam elastic layer, or a sponge elastic layer.

[0016] The pad structure of this invention increases structural strength and improves support by incorporating support components that penetrate the base layer and elastic layer, and by adjusting the distance between these support components. Furthermore, the height of the support components is greater than or equal to the combined thickness of the base layer and elastic layer, which increases the structural integrity of the pad structure and improves user comfort.

[0027] W1, W2: Width Detailed Implementation

[0028] The various embodiments of this utility model will be discussed in more detail below. However, these embodiments can be applications of various novel concepts and can be specifically implemented in various different scopes. The specific embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not limited to the scope of disclosure.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a pad structure 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 It is a drawing according to Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of section line AA in the cushion structure 100 of the embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the pad structure 100 includes a base layer 110, an elastic layer 120, and multiple support components 130.

[0030] The base layer 110 can be made of plastic, latex, rubber, or fabric. Specifically, when using the pad structure 100, the base layer 110 is positioned on the user's skin side. This allows the pad structure 100 to possess softness and elasticity, thereby improving fit and skin-friendliness. Preferably, the base layer 110 can be made of fabric. This improves the comfort of using the pad structure 100. Furthermore, the fabric can be knitted or plain woven, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In detail, when the base layer 110 is made of fabric, the gaps between the yarns of the fabric provide the functions of absorbing moisture and breathability, keeping the user's skin dry, further improving the comfort of using the pad structure 100.

[0031] An elastic layer 120 is disposed on one side of the base layer 110. This contributes to the structural strength and support of the pad structure 100. Furthermore, the elastic layer 120 can be made of plastic, latex, rubber, foam, or sponge. Therefore, the elastic layer 120 of the pad structure 100 can provide good shock absorption and rebound. For example, when the pad structure 100 is applied to an insole, it allows the user's foot to receive stable support during high-intensity exercise. In this way, the pad structure 100 can precisely distribute foot pressure, helping to improve foot health. Users with flat feet, high arches, or poor walking habits can achieve foot protection through the elastic layer 120. Specifically, the plastic used for the elastic layer 120 can be a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) or a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The foam used for the elastic layer 120 may be ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA) foam, polyurethane foam, or rubber foam, but the scope of this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0032] Support component 130 penetrates the base layer 110 and the elastic layer 120, forming at least two support structures (not shown in the figure), wherein the height of each support component 130 is greater than or equal to the combined thickness of the base layer 110 and the elastic layer 120. This improves the structural integrity of the pad structure 100, ensuring user comfort. When the height of the support component 130 is equal to the combined thickness of the base layer 110 and the elastic layer 120, structural consistency of the pad structure 100 is ensured. When the height of the support component 130 is greater than the combined thickness of the base layer 110 and the elastic layer 120, the support component 130 protrudes from the side of the base layer 110 away from the elastic layer 120. This increases the friction between the pad structure 100 and the user's skin, improving the applicability of the pad structure 100.

[0033] Furthermore, the support component 130 may include multiple first support components 131 and multiple second support components 132. At least two support structures may include a first support structure (not shown in the figure) and a second support structure (not shown in the figure). The first support components 131 form the first support structure, and the second support components 132 form the second support structure. This utility model defines the first support components 131 and the second support components 132 respectively, and adjusts the specifications of the first support components 131 and the second support components 132 according to requirements to improve the support strength of the pad structure 100 while ensuring user comfort, but is not limited thereto. In addition, the combination of the first support components 131 and the second support components 132 can increase the structural variability of the pad structure 100. Specifically, each of the first support components 131 and each of the second support components 132 can be independently U-shaped or V-shaped. Each of the first support components 131 and each of the second support components 132 has an open end and a closed end, with the open end corresponding to the elastic layer 120 and the closed end corresponding to the base layer 110. This increases the structural stability of the elastic layer 120 and simultaneously enhances the friction of the base layer 110 against the user's skin.

[0034] Furthermore, the first height of each first support component 131 may not be equal to the second height of each second support component 132. This enhances the structural variability and application diversity of the pad structure 100. Additionally, the second height of each second support component 132 may be greater than the first height of each first support component 131. Therefore, the second support structure formed by the second support components 132 provides greater support force and support space than the first support structure formed by the first support components 131. For example, when the pad structure 100 is applied to an insole, the second support structure formed by the second support components 132 can correspond to the middle section of the insole, allowing the second support structure to conform to the user's arch, providing high-intensity support and reducing pressure on the foot muscles and ligaments, making the user's steps more stable during activity. In detail, strengthening the support force of the second support structure of the pad structure 100 facilitates its application in medical insoles with special needs, such as orthopedic insoles for users with collapsed arches or insufficient arch support. By designing the insole with a three-dimensional, arched structure to conform to the arch of the foot, the user can distribute the impact force transmitted from the ground through the arched support structure when walking or exercising, thus protecting the foot. Generally speaking, the higher the arch and slope of the support structure, the stronger the support, and the more effectively it can balance the pressure on the foot.

[0035] Furthermore, when the pad structure 100 is applied to the insole, the first support structure formed by the first support component 131 corresponds to the front part of the insole, allowing the first support knot of the pad structure 100 to conform to the user's foot, providing coverage and cushioning. Accordingly, the support balance of the pad structure 100 can be adjusted, making it easier for the user to move when walking and reducing foot pain caused by prolonged standing.

[0036] Specifically, the first height of each first support component 131 can be 3mm to 12mm, and the second height of each second support component 132 can be 13mm to 22mm. This helps the pad structure 100 provide sufficient support while ensuring a balanced support force. Preferably, the first height of each first support component 131 can be 4mm to 10mm, and the second height of each second support component 132 can be 15mm to 20mm. This helps improve the support force of the pad structure 100 while ensuring user comfort.

[0037] Furthermore, the distance between adjacent first support components 131 can be greater than the distance between adjacent second support components 132. This improves the structural strength of the second support structure formed by the second support components 132, and the rigidity of the second support structure can be greater than that of the first support structure formed by the first support components 131. For example, when the pad structure 100 is applied to an insole, the second support structure can correspond to the user's arch to provide high-intensity support, while the first support structure can correspond to the user's forefoot to provide cushioning and coverage. This improves the shape retention and durability of the second support structure, while ensuring that the first support structure provides sufficient softness. Specifically, the second support structure can provide constant support strength, and the first support structure can cushion the pressure caused by friction between the forefoot and the shoe upper, thereby relieving foot pain. More specifically, the distance between adjacent first support components 131 can be 0.2 mm to 1 mm, and the distance between adjacent second support components 132 can be 0.01 mm to 0.5 mm.

[0038] Furthermore, the width W1 of each first support component 131 can be from 0.3 mm to 3 mm, and the width W2 of each second support component 132 can be from 0.3 mm to 3 mm. Figure 2It is understood that the width W1 of the first support component 131 is the internal width of the first support component 131, and the width W2 of the second support component 132 is the internal width of the second support component 132. This is beneficial to the cushioning function of the pad structure 100. By adjusting the width W2 of the second support component 132, the structural strength and durability of the pad structure 100 can be improved. Preferably, the width W1 of each first support component 131 can be 0.4mm to 1.2mm, and the width W2 of each second support component 132 can be 0.4mm to 1.2mm. This further improves the structural strength and service life of the pad structure 100, while ensuring cushioning force and user comfort.

[0039] Furthermore, the wire diameter of each first support component 131 can be from 0.3 μm to 0.6 μm, and the wire diameter of each second support component 132 can be from 0.3 μm to 0.6 μm. This ensures the structural stability of the first support component 131 and the second support component 132. Preferably, the wire diameter of each first support component 131 can be from 0.4 μm to 0.6 μm, and the wire diameter of each second support component 132 can be from 0.4 μm to 0.6 μm. This improves the structural strength of the first support component 131 and the second support component 132.

[0040] Furthermore, each first support component 131 can be made of nylon, polypropylene (PP), or polyester (PET), and each second support component 132 can be made of nylon, polypropylene, or polyester. This facilitates the shaping and weight reduction of the first and second support components 131 and 132, and ensures the elasticity and cushioning of the pad structure 100. Preferably, each first support component 131 and each second support component 132 can be made of nylon. Specifically, nylon possesses high chemical stability, toughness, tensile strength, impact resistance, and low water absorption, which is beneficial to the dimensional stability and service life of the first and second support components 131 and 132. This improves the durability of the pad structure 100. For example, each first support component 131 and each second support component 132 can be made of nylon monofilament. In the manufacturing process of the pad structure 100, nylon monofilaments can be guided through the base layer 110 and the elastic layer 120 by embroidery using a hard needle. This simplifies the production process and is beneficial to the quality stability of the pad structure 100, but the content of this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0041] In summary, the pad structure provided by this utility model, through the arrangement of a base layer, an elastic layer, and support components, wherein the support components penetrate through the base layer and the elastic layer, and the height of each support component is greater than or equal to the total thickness of the base layer and the elastic layer, can improve the support and structural integrity of the pad structure and enhance user comfort. Furthermore, the support components can include multiple first support components and multiple second support components to form a first support structure and a second support structure, respectively. This facilitates increased structural variability and application diversity of the pad structure. Moreover, by adjusting the height of the second and first support components, high-strength support force can be provided to reduce the pressure on the user's muscles and adjust the balance of support force and user comfort of the pad structure. Further, by adjusting the distance between adjacent first and second support components, the softness of the first support structure and the support strength of the second support structure can be adjusted. Additionally, by adjusting the width of each first and second support component, the second support structure can provide constant support strength, while the first support structure has sufficient cushioning force.
