Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an outsole for shoes and a shoe including the outsole.

Background Art

[0002] When designing an outsole for shoes and / or a shoe, compromises are often made between different characteristics that the outsole and / or the shoe should have. For example, shoes with a hard outsole (such as football shoes, etc.) can provide excellent characteristics for running at high speeds, but on the other hand, a hard outsole can potentially result in a reduction in comfort. Therefore, improving the overall characteristics of the outsole and / or each shoe is a fundamental objective. In this direction, the present invention aims to solve different problems.

[0003] A first problem addressed by the present invention is that an outsole for shoes optimized for high-speed running (i.e., sprinting, short-distance running) due to the behavior of hard materials is usually a significant obstacle for the wearer. For example, a hard outsole can potentially reduce the comfort of the wearer. Moreover, a hard outsole reduces the overall flexibility of the shoe, which can potentially reduce the feel for the ball. Moreover, an outsole showing a linearly and / or homogeneously hard behavior can be effectively accelerated due to the limited midfoot and / or toe flexion. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​This can hinder the wearer's ability to do so. For example, more toe It is disadvantageous at the start of a sprint, where flexion is considered beneficial. Therefore In summary, the first objective of the present invention is to improve high-speed running (i.e., sprinting). By providing an outsole that makes this possible and at least partially avoids the aforementioned drawbacks, ru.

[0004] The second problem addressed by this invention is that many sports require multiple sprints. This is one aspect. As a result, a straight surface (which is sometimes grass and / or Starting a sprint on top of (which may be covered with dirt) is difficult for the staff. It has been found that even with the right equipment, it is difficult. This is the case in track and field sprints. Like a takeoff (where a starting block is usually provided), push This is because there is no external object for (pushing off). Therefore, the present invention The second objective is to improve the start of sprints and / or improve the overall performance. The objective is to provide an outsole for shoes that allows for extrusion.

[0005] The third problem addressed by this invention is that the shoe is relatively flat and / or stiff. They often have outsoles, and are suitable for walking, moderate running, and / or Or, during acceleration, make it difficult (or at least not easy) for your feet to roll. That is one aspect. However, the curved outsole is unstable and / or has limited contact. It is also known that it can be connected to the earth. This is usually the case in sports (for example) For example, it is not acceptable in sports such as football and rugby. Therefore, the present invention The third objective is to enable improved walking and / or moderate running. At the same time, outsourcing helps to avoid instability and / or limited grounding, at least partially. The goal is to provide a service.

[0006] The fourth problem addressed by this invention is the outsole for shoes, which usually includes cushioning material. The sole is provided by the cushioning material without the outsole itself being altered. This does not allow certain characteristics (e.g., damping and / or cushioning) to be adapted. This is one aspect. Therefore, (for example, changing the material and / or geometric shape) The process of fitting the outsole (by inserting it) usually involves considerable effort. Therefore, The fourth objective of the Ming dynasty was to overcome this drawback, at least partially.

[0007] Therefore, in summary, the overall objective of the present invention is to address the above-mentioned problems and / or objectives. Outsoles for shoes, and The objective is to provide shoes that include the aforementioned outsole. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014 / 366405 [Patent Document 2] U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2018 / 035755 [Overview of the Initiative]

[0009] This overall objective is achieved (at least in part) by an outsole for shoes, as defined in the independent claims, and by shoes comprising said outsole. Further aspects of the disclosure are defined in the dependent claims. In particular, the overall objective is achieved by an outsole for shoes. The outsole comprises a cushioning element arranged in the forefoot area of the outsole, the

[0010] cushioning element comprising a lattice structure, the cushioning element comprising a first part and a second part, the first part having a lower rigidity compared to the second part. Furthermore, the outsole comprises a sole element comprising a receiving part, the cushioning element being received by the receiving part.

[0011] Rigidity can refer to material rigidity (i.e. Young's modulus), structural rigidity, and / or combinations thereof. Exemplarily, the first part and the second part can comprise the same material (i.e. have the same Young's modulus), while the difference in rigidity is provided by the configuration of the lattice structure. Further exemplarily, the shapes of the first part and the second part can be identical, and the difference in rigidity is provided by the material selected with respect to the first part and the

[0012] second part. It is understood that combinations of these two examples are possible. Therefore, the stiffness can be referred to as compressive stiffness. Part 1 and Part 2 To measure the stiffness (i.e., compressive stiffness), a given force (e.g., 100N) is applied. Each is applied vertically to the first part and vertically to the second part. It is possible to do so, and in this respect, the term "vertical" is used during normal use. This refers to a direction perpendicular to the surface on which the outsole will be placed. A first change in the height of the first part caused by a predetermined force is identified. It is possible, and similarly, a second change in the height of the second part caused by a given force is It is possible to identify them. Subsequently, the first change in height and the second change in height are It is possible to compare them when the second change in height is smaller than the first change in height. The first part has lower stiffness (i.e., compressive stiffness) compared to the second part. The first and / or second change in height is vertical between the unloaded and loaded states. It is understood that it can be defined as the difference in height measured in a given direction.

[0013] The cushioning element is attached to the sole by, for example, gluing, welding, and / or sewing. It can be attached directly. The cushioning element exhibits substantially elastic material behavior. It is possible to include this. Therefore, the cushioning element provides improved energy to the wearer. - This can enable returns. However, the cushioning element may also be viscoelastic. It is possible, that is, it is possible to exhibit both viscous and elastic behavior simultaneously. This means that the cushioning elements are adapted to the typical load pattern for a particular sport. This makes it possible. For example, a soft cushioning element when walking (sand This may be desirable at low load speeds, while a stiff cushioning element is also desirable. When a sprint starts (i.e., at high-intensity speed), the possibility of In this regard, the cushioning element includes a material having a strain rate that depends on the material behavior. It is understood that this is also possible.

[0014] The forefoot area of ​​the outsole is designed to support the wearer's toes and metatarsals. It can be said that this is the part of the outsole that makes up the structure. The cushioning element is It is understood that it is possible to position it only in a portion of the forefoot area. Furthermore, the cushioning element extends beyond the forefoot area, for example, to the toe area. It can also extend into the heel area.

[0015] Details regarding the lattice structure are described throughout this disclosure. However, generally speaking... Lattice structures are advantageous for regulating specific local properties without necessarily changing the material. It works. Moreover, visual inspection is facilitated (compared to, for example, foam materials), and cushioning Materials in a shock-absorbing element (for example, caused by external force or improper use) Damage can now be identified more easily.

[0016] An embodiment in which the first part has lower rigidity compared to the second part is such that the first part is Compared to the second part, it has lower compressive stiffness, as measured in the thickness direction of the outsole. It is possible to refer to doing so.

[0017] An embodiment in which the first part has lower rigidity compared to the second part further comprises the first It is possible to indicate that one part has lower bending stiffness compared to the second part. .

[0018] Regarding sole elements, an outsole can contain two or more sole elements. This should be noted. Furthermore, the sole element can include multiple layers. It is possible. For example, the sole element is a composite embedded in a polymer matrix. It may contain several carbon fiber layers and / or glass fiber layers. Nevertheless Furthermore, the sole element can be a single layer. The sole element does not necessarily have to be a closed layer. It is not necessary, and it is also possible to have a grid-like and / or frame-like structure. This could be particularly advantageous for reducing the weight of the outsole. The sole element is made of polyamide 11 (PA11) and / or polyamide 12 (PA12 It is possible to include polymers such as ). Furthermore, the sole element is polyethylene Materials such as pebralblock amide (PEBA) and / or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) Furthermore, it can contain thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). In addition, the sole element These can be formed at least partially by injection molding. For example, layers It is possible to form a grid-like and / or frame-like support. The structural elements can be overmolded. Furthermore, composite materials (for example, carbon Fiber-reinforced polymers, glass fiber-reinforced polymers, and / or other reinforcing materials) It can be included by the sole element. Moreover, the sole element is additive Manufacturing methods (e.g., 3D printing methods) and / or combined processing methods It can be formed at least partially by the composite processing method. That is the case.

[0019] The outsole provided by this disclosure offers various advantages and / or different tasks It is possible to accomplish this.

[0020] Firstly, cushioning elements can serve to increase the thickness of the outsole. Therefore, the second moment of area of ​​the outsole, in particular, excessively increases the weight. It is not possible to increase it locally. Therefore, the bending stiffness is Furthermore, it is possible to adapt it locally. The compression stiffness of the sole can be locally adjusted by the cushioning element. Therefore, in summary, while keeping the weight low, the stiffness of the outsole in various respects It makes it possible to regulate sex.

[0021] Secondly, the cushioning element plays a role in precisely cushioning the wearer's foot section. Indeed, this makes it possible to increase comfort. In particular, different rigidities Having first and second parts. As a result, the sole element is made thinner. This makes it possible to reduce weight without compromising comfort.

[0022] Thirdly, the cushioning element allows for an improved start to the sprint (i.e. (Allows for better pushing), an "integrated starting block" for the wearer It can fulfill the role of "rock." This is because the cushioning element (for example) This allows for the formation of raised areas on the ground-facing surface of the outsole, which is beneficial. This is because it enables better extrusion. In particular, the first and second have different rigidities. Part 2 ensures that the functionality as an "integrated starting block" is precisely It can be adjusted and / or implemented.

[0023] Fourthly, the cushioning element can provide a "rocker effect" to the outsole. Yes, the rocker outsole design is used for medical purposes (for example, for people with diabetes). (Known for reducing forefoot pressure, but for leisure shoes) It is also known to increase comfort. However, the "rocker effect" is an improved ra For outsoles with running properties (for example, the outsoles of football shoes) This could be particularly advantageous for the sole. As in the previous paragraph, cushioning The element, in particular, allows for the formation of raised areas on the ground-facing surface of the outsole. Therefore, a portion of the running surface of the outsole will have a rolling effect (sun It is possible to create a raised surface that generates a "rocker effect". It is possible to have a positive effect on the brain. The reason is that walking, / or, during moderate running and / or acceleration, the wearer overcomes the pivot point This is because less force must be exerted to move the feet. Therefore, acceleration may refer, in particular, to acceleration from the wearer's essentially standing position. It has properties. This is especially true when accelerating from a standing position, where the "rocker effect" is a performance factor. This is because it can contribute to the aforementioned positive effects.

[0024] The cushioning element, which serves as an "integrated starting block," It is sometimes understood that it is possible to provide a "rocker effect" to the outsole. Furthermore, the cushioning element acts as an "integrated starting block." It can perform and / or provide a "rocker effect", so that pressure The compression characteristics are under high and / or vertical load conditions (for example, during a sprint). The unfavorable effects (i.e., instability) caused by the raised portion of the outsole are avoided. This can make it possible.

[0025] Fifth, the cushioning element contributes to the outsole's properties (e.g., damping and / or cushioning) The cushioning (comfort) can be adapted to a specific wearer without the sole elements themselves being altered. This makes it possible.

[0026] Those skilled in the art will know that the advantages described above can also be applied to the following embodiments, with different emphasis. I understand that.

[0027] The first part can be positioned further inside the second part. By positioning part 1 further inward, an "integrated starting block" is created. While the effect can be further improved, the stability of the outsole is a negative factor. It has been found that it is not affected by the medial location of the metatarsophalangeal joint. This can cause the foot to be more easily compressed into the cushioning element than other parts of the foot. It is possible that the outer part of the cushioning element has a stabilizing effect while pushing outwards. Improve it.

[0028] The first part is the outsole, which is configured to support the innermost metatarsophalangeal joint. It can be placed in the area of ​​the foot. This configuration allows the innermost metatarsophalangeal joint to be located on the other side of the foot. This allows for easier pressing into the cushioning element compared to other parts, resulting in a better This is expected to enable a good push-up. This is an "integrated star" for the wearer. It is possible to further improve the functionality of the outsole as a "tapping block." In summary, this means the outsole provides a better start for sprinting. Make it possible.

[0029] Alternatively, the first part can be positioned further outward relative to the second part. Therefore, by positioning the first part further outwards, the "integrated starting The "G-Block" effect is used to improve the push-out during outward movement. It is possible.

[0030] The receiving portion can be a recess that conforms to the shape of the cushioning element. Preferably, the recess is on the surface of the sole element opposite the running surface of the outsole. It is positioned in this configuration. This configuration has an outsole with specifically adapted characteristics that reduces It has been found to be advantageous in that it can provide a certain number of components. Furthermore, there are recesses on the surface of the sole element opposite the running surface of the outsole. Because of the arrangement, both the bending rigidity and compressive rigidity of the outsole are selected It can be precisely adjusted according to the selected cushioning element.

[0031] Measured perpendicular to the surface on which the outsole will be in contact during normal use. The depth of the recess can substantially correspond to the thickness of the cushioning element. This makes it possible to avoid the need to compensate for height differences with additional components. be.

[0032] The cushioning element is preferably attached to the sole by adhesive, welding, and / or sewing. It can be an insert element attached to another element. "Insert element" The term can refer to a configuration in which a cushioning element is incorporated into the sole element. The cushioning element is an insert element, which allows the outsole to be provided with low manufacturing tolerances. This can be made possible, especially when the layers of the outsole are stacked by hand. In comparison to that. In addition, the cushioning element is an insert element within the sole element. It can be maintained stably.

[0033] The support surface opposite the running surface of the outsole is the upper surface of the cushioning element. and can be jointly defined by the upper surface of the sole element. The support surface is For example, when other layers are placed on a supporting surface, the wearer's feet are directly or It is possible to support this indirectly, completely or at least partially. Therefore, this The construction uses sole elements and cushioning elements (i.e., fewer components) (By design) it has specific characteristics that fully support the wearer's feet. This makes it possible to provide a suitable support surface.

[0034] Furthermore, the upper surface of the cushioning element is substantially flush with the upper surface of the sole element. This makes it possible. The functionality made possible by this feature is that unevenness can be avoided. Therefore, the unevenness may be perceived as uncomfortable by the shoe wearer. There is a need to provide further means to correct such irregularities. If not available.

[0035] Furthermore, the outsole can also include a cover plate, cushioning The sole element is sandwiched between the sole element and the cover plate. This configuration is for the shoe It can be used to connect the upper to the outsole. For example, shoe The upper can be clamped between the sole element and the cover plate. Therefore, this outsole configuration allows for the completion of the shoe with fewer components. It can be made possible.

[0036] The cover plate may extend along the entire length of the outsole, or Is it possible for it to extend only along the forefoot area of ​​the sole, or the outsole Is it possible for it to extend only along the midfoot area, or is it a cushioning element? It is possible to extend only along the length of the outsole. The midfoot area of ​​the outsole is This can be referred to as the part of the outsole that is designed to support the wearer's metatarsals. It is possible. Therefore, the metatarsophalangeal joint can be considered as part of the forefoot. It is possible, but it is possible that something that is not considered part of the midfoot is possible. This is understood.

[0037] It is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the outsole, and the outsole is on top during normal use. Bending rigidity of the sole element with respect to the bending axis, which is parallel to the surface on which it will be installed. The quality is such that, compared to the part of the sole element adjacent to the receiving part, It is possible to make it even smaller. Furthermore, the bending stiffness of the sole element is accepted It is possible to have a minimum in this portion. Preferably, the minimum is of the sole element It is located in the flex section. The flex section allows for maximum bending during running. It can be said that this is the part of the sole that you experience. Furthermore, the flex part is It is possible to extend at least partially along the receiving portion. The above configuration is The bending stiffness of the outsole in the footpeg area is mainly determined by the selected cushioning elements. and / or enable precise adjustment. Thus, precisely set characteristics Outsoles having the selected cushioning element can be provided. ru.

[0038] The cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving portion, measured in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the outsole, is It is possible for the sole element to be smaller compared to the part adjacent to the buckle. This is possible. This is due to the outsole's characteristics in the receiving area (compression stiffness, bending stiffness, etc.). (Cushioning properties, damping, etc.) are mainly and / or precisely determined by the selected cushioning element. It allows for adjustment to be made. Therefore, an outsaw with precisely set characteristics. The cushion can be provided according to the selected cushioning element. In particular, The cross-sectional area of ​​the flex portion, measured in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the sole, is the flex portion. It is possible to make it smaller compared to the sole element adjacent to the saddle part. That is the case.

[0039] The cushioning element is configured to support the metatarsal fat pad. It can be placed in the outsole area. This configuration allows for For example, it is possible to form raised areas on the surface of the outsole that faces the ground, This, in particular, allows for better extrusion. Therefore, this raised portion is for the wearer It can serve as an "integrated starting block" for this purpose. Therefore, the outsole can enable an improved start to sprints. Cut.

[0040] The part perpendicular to the surface on which the outsole will be placed during normal use. The thickness of the cushioning element, measured in the direction, is configured to support the metatarsal fat pad. In the area where it is located, it is possible to reach the maximum, preferably the heel area and It decreases towards the belly / toe area. This configuration, among other things, has cushioning elements. While providing the aforementioned "rocker effect," it also offers an "integrated starting" for the wearer. This enables it to function as a "block". Furthermore, the inventors have taken If deemed necessary, improve damping and / or increase bending stiffness. It is possible to do so. In addition, a continuous profile of the outsole's characteristics is guaranteed. For example, jumps in rigidity are avoided. Moreover, the maximum thickness is 1 mm It can be in the range of 20 mm, preferably in the range of 2 mm to 10 mm. It is possible. These thicknesses have proven beneficial. The reason is, These do not add too much material (i.e., weight) to the outsole. This is because it significantly improves cushioning and / or increases bending stiffness. Furthermore, these thicknesses can cause the wearer to be raised too high, resulting in an inability to move away from the ground. It enables an improved start to the sprint without causing stability (i.e.) (Allows for better pushing), an "integrated starting block" for the wearer This allows the cushioning element to fulfill its role as a "rock" element. These thicknesses have been found to be sufficient to provide the aforementioned "rocker effect." ru.

[0041] The first part and the second part are the height of the first undeformed part and the height of the second undeformed part ( (The distance between the top surface and bottom surface of the cushion element) (they are equal) It is possible to include each of them. The first part may include the first undeformed height. The second part may include a second undeformed height that is smaller than the first undeformed height. That is the case.

[0042] The second change in height described above is in the range of 10% to 95% of the first change in height described above. It is possible, preferably, that the change in the first height is in the range of 30% to 60%. This is possible. These ranges have proven to be beneficial. The reason is that they This causes instability due to the wearer being lifted too high off the ground. Without any issues, it allows for an improved start to the sprint (i.e., a better push-off) (Making it possible) and acting as an "integrated starting block" for the wearer. This is because it allows the cushioning element to act as a buffer.

[0043] According to this disclosure, the toe area of ​​the outsole is configured to support the wearer's toes. It can be said that this is the part of the outsole that is made up. Generally, the wearer's midsole The foot can be separated from the toe portion at the metatarsophalangeal joint. This is understood to be the case.

[0044] The cushioning element extends substantially from the outside of the outsole to the inside of the outsole. This is possible. This is because the characteristics of the outsole specifically cross the width of the outsole. This allows for continuous adjustment.

[0045] Alternatively, the cushioning element can partially extend between the outer and inner surfaces. The cushioning element does not need to extend into the non-cushioned portion of the sole. The cushioning element can have lower rigidity than the non-cushioning part. The cushioning element is positioned further inside or further outside than the non-cushioned part. It is possible to kick. Therefore, this alternative example is to allow the wearer to stay off the ground. Sprint improvement without causing instability resulting from excessive increase It enables a better start (i.e., allows for a better push-off), for the wearer Its role as an "integrated starting block" is related to the parts that lack cushioning. This enables the combined cushioning elements to fulfill their intended role.

[0046] The lattice structure may include multiple rod elements. Each of the rod elements is Connections can be made at these nodes. However, alternative configurations can also be considered. For example, a rod element can extend between two opposing surfaces. These surfaces can provide support.

[0047] The rod elements of the first part may have a lower average diameter than the rod elements of the second part. It is possible. Thus, specific adjustments to the stiffness of the cushioning element can be made by changing the material of the rod element. This can be achieved without changing the arrangement. This promotes recycling, improves manufacturing, and enables continuously changing properties. It is possible to avoid complex arrangements of call / or rod elements.

[0048] Furthermore, the rod elements in the first section are arranged at a lower density than the rod elements in the second section. This is possible. Thus, specific adjustments to the stiffness of the cushioning element are possible for the rod element. This can be achieved without changing the material and / or diameter. Furthermore, it promotes recycling, improves manufacturing, and / or enables continuously changing properties. It can be made into a Noh play.

[0049] The rod elements of the first part may have a lower average diameter than the rod elements of the second part. It is possible, and / or, that the rod element of the first part is greater than the rod element of the second part. It is understood that they can also be arranged at low densities.

[0050] Furthermore, the first part is located closer to the toe area of ​​the outsole than the second part. It is possible to attach it. In this respect, in particular, the first part to the second part And when combined with the above-mentioned configuration, which is positioned further inside, the outsole In a state where stability is not negatively affected, "integrated starting block It was found that the effect could be further improved. Moreover, the first The second part is positioned closer to the toe area of ​​the outsole than the second part. Therefore, it is essential for various sports (for example, football / soccer). It is possible to ensure that a certain degree of toe flexibility is provided.

[0051] Measured perpendicular to the surface on which the outsole will be in contact during normal use. The rigidity of the cushioning element can be increased continuously from the first part to the second part. It is possible. This makes it possible to avoid rigid jumps, and rigid jumps are worn. It is perceived by some as troublesome and / or functionally disadvantageous.

[0052] The cushioning element may include a bonding margin, and the bonding margin The gin is preferably formed integrally with the cushioning element. This is, for example, The adhesive allows the cushioning element to be attached to the sole element. The outsole is formed integrally with the cushioning element, The number of parts can be kept low.

[0053] The cushioning elements are manufactured using an additive manufacturing process. This is possible. Additive manufacturing processes (for example, 3D pre-processing) It has been found to be advantageous to manufacture cushioning elements using methods such as tents. The reason is that they enable complex structures and / or anisotropic material behavior. Therefore, the geometric shape and / or characteristics of the outsole must be precisely matched. This is possible. In addition, outsole has characteristics that are individually tailored to specific wearers. It is possible for this to become a reality.

[0054] The sole element has at least one aperture that at least partially overlaps with the cushioning element. It is possible to include a aperture. Firstly, at least one aperture enhances visual inspection. It is possible to modify the cushioning element (for example, by external force or improper use) Material damage (caused by) can be more easily identified. Secondly, at least one aperture plays a role in adapting the stiffness of the sole elements. It is possible to fulfill the division. Thirdly, at least one aperture is an aperture It can also play a role in adapting the compression characteristics of overlapping cushioning elements. At least one aperture in an element does not necessarily require a closed contour. It is understood that. Nevertheless, at least one aperture is required for the sole. It is possible to include a closed contour within the element. This allows for at least one aperture The stability of the aperture can be increased. At least one aperture can be cut. It is possible that an opening has been taken. Furthermore, at least one aperture is For example, the opening can be integrally formed by injection molding.

[0055] At least one aperture may include at least one bottom aperture. It is possible, and at least one bottom aperture, a cushioning element, during normal use The outsole is adapted to face the surface on which it will be placed. At least one bottom aperture localizes the stiffness of the outsole (i.e., the sole elements). It can play a role in reducing and / or adapting the location.

[0056] At least one aperture may include at least one side aperture. It is possible, and at least one lateral aperture allows the cushioning element to be on the outside of the outsole. It is adapted to face the direction and / or the inward direction of the outsole, preferably At least one aperture includes at least two lateral apertures, and less Both side apertures allow cushioning elements to extend outwards and outwards from the outsole. It is adapted to face the inside of the sole. At least one side aperture is This makes it possible to match the rigidity of the overlapping cushioning elements of the aperture. In particular, at least one side aperture allows for adjustment of the compressive stiffness. This can be achieved because the vertical compression of the cushioning element is due to the material of the sole element. This is because it is not restricted, at least locally. Rather, the cushioning element is effectively Free compression is possible until the side apertures are closed. In this respect, "vertical The term "direction" refers to the direction on which the outsole will be placed during normal use. It refers to the direction perpendicular to the surface.

[0057] At least one aperture can be covered by a cover element. This could negatively affect the functionality of the cushioning element due to soil and / or environmental factors. This allows the cushioning element to be protected from the effects of external factors (such as moisture).

[0058] At least one bottom aperture and at least one side aperture are covered - It can be covered by an element. This is particularly solid in the sole element. This allows cover elements to be placed in a fixed position, and only one component can be used. This allows the aperture to be closed.

[0059] The cover element can be a transparent cover element. This is because the cushion element is This allows for visual inspection and material failure in cushioning elements (e.g., external force). It is now possible to identify (or cause by improper use) At the same time, the cushioning element protects from the effects of soil and / or potentially harmful environmental factors. They are being protected.

[0060] The cover element can have lower rigidity compared to the sole element. The cover element has less rigidity and / or hardness compared to the material of the sole element. It is possible to include materials that contribute to the functionality of the sole and cushioning elements. It helps minimize the impact of the cover element.

[0061] The cushioning element can be enclosed at least partially by foil. The foil is preferably transparent. This also allows the cushioning element to be visually inspected. This makes it possible to prevent material failure in the cushioning element (for example, due to external force or improper use). It is now possible to identify (caused by the use of), The cushioning element is designed to protect against soil and / or potentially harmful environmental impacts. It is.

[0062] The sole element may include at least one stud, and at least one The stud overlaps with the cushioning element. The stud according to the present invention (it is a cleat (It may also be called) is worn by the wearer on soft ground (for example, a grass field). It can serve the role of providing traction. The use of studs is football Rugby (i.e., soccer), American football, rugby and / or athletics It is known from the field of studs. Studs can be formed integrally with the sole element. Furthermore, the studs are at least partially (for example, the studs are) on the base material. It is possible to inject it (from the tip). Furthermore, the stud is a pre-fabricated stud. By placing the tip of the head inside the mold, and at least a portion of the outsole (For example, plate and / or base material) and over-inject them It can be formed by over-injecting. The base material is It is possible to include a stud element. Furthermore, the studs can be made from TPU. Yes. The above-mentioned need to screw in the studs and / or replace the studs. Eliminate the use of interchangeable studs or screw-type studs. This is also possible. Therefore, studs of different lengths and / or materials can be used on different ground surfaces. It can be used in relation to the matter. The cushioning element has at least one stud and Because they overlap, it is possible to avoid the transmission of uncomfortable pressure from the studs to the wearer's foot. It is possible. As a result, the sole element can be made thinner, and therefore, To reduce weight without compromising comfort.

[0063] The sole element may include at least two rows of studs, as described above. At least one bottom aperture, such as the one described above, is positioned between the aforementioned rows of studs. This is possible, and preferably the sole element includes at least three rows of studs. Between each pair of the aforementioned rows of D, there is at least one bottom A as described above. Perch is positioned. This configuration provides flexibility and / or compression to the outsole. This allows the stiffness to be selectively adjusted by at least one bottom aperture. At the same time, the studs are reliably attached to the outsole. In addition, cushioning The element can be inspected more easily.

[0064] The cushioning element does not extend voluntarily into the heel area of ​​the outsole. This is because the outsole heel extends more into the heel area than the cushioning element extends into the heel area. It allows for stabilization of the area. This prevents injuries (for example, those caused by twisting). It enables risk reduction.

[0065] The cushioning element is voluntarily located in the midfoot, when viewed from the heel area of ​​the outsole. The outsole extends substantially beyond the area configured to support the bone and fat pad. It is not present. Therefore, the increased rigidity of the outsole beyond the aforementioned area is avoided. This is because the cushioning element in the aforementioned area is the second moment of area of ​​the outsole. This is because it does not increase the flexion of the toes. This is advantageous at the start of a sprint (where toe flexion is beneficial). (Yes). The term "substantially" means that the cushioning element is from the heel portion of the outsole. When viewed, the outsole collar is configured to support the metatarsal fat pad. It can refer to a configuration that does not extend beyond A by more than 1 cm (optionally, 0.5 cm). It is Noh.

[0066] The outsole may include multiple cushioning elements as specified above. For example, cushion elements can be stacked on top of each other. The cushioning element extends from the inner part of the outsole to the outer part of the outsole. It is possible to stack them in the direction of stacking, or in the opposite direction. It is possible to do so.

[0067] The first part, compared to the second part, is designed so that the outsole is attached during normal use. It is possible to have lower rigidity, measured in a direction perpendicular to the surface. .

[0068] According to an alternative embodiment, the cushion element described above is used instead of the lattice structure or In addition to the lattice structure, it may also include foam material and / or gel material. With regard to alternative embodiments, the features and / or advantages described above are similarly applicable. It is understood that it can be used. Foam materials have proven to be beneficial. The reason is that they provide damping (i.e., comfort) and elasticity (i.e., energy recovery). This allows for a compromise between ). The foam material is polyamide, polyether b Rock amide, expanded polyether block amide, thermoplastic polyurethane, expanded thermoplastic Polyurethane, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), thermosetting polyurethane foam, and / or it may contain thermoplastic copolyester. Furthermore, the foam material is It is possible to manufacture them using specific processes to achieve advantageous properties. For example, , U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014 / 366405 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 201 As illustrated in Specification No. 8 / 035755, using particle forms It has been shown that doing so is advantageous in the sporting goods industry. Then, compact polymer granules are foamed to form expandable foam beads. Next, these beads are subjected to a means of applying heat that at least partially melts the surface of the particles. Therefore, they are joined together on their surfaces. For example, steam chest molding (St (eam Chest Moulding) and / or Radio Frequency Fusion are used. It can be applied to other specific process adaptations. For example, gaseous foaming agents in autoclave / extrusion / injection molding processes reach a supercritical state. It can be replaced by a foaming agent in the above. Moreover, the gel material is advantageous It has been found that this is the case. The reason is that it allows for particularly good damping.

[0069] Furthermore, the overall objectives described above include outsoles such as those described herein. This is achieved through shoes (especially football / soccer shoes). The advantages described above, as shown in the article, also apply to shoes. This will be understood.

Specifically, the first portion 22 has a lower rigidity as measured in a direction perpendicular to the surface 50 on which the outsole 10 will be installed during normal use, compared to the second portion 23. The first portion 22 is disposed in the area of the outsole 10 configured to support the most medial metatarsophalangeal joint. Moreover, the first portion 22 is positioned further inward with respect to the second portion 23. In addition, the first portion 22 is positioned closer to the toe area 14 of the outsole 10 than the second portion 23. Although not shown in the schematic lattice structure 21, a direction perpendicular to the surface 50 on which the outsole 10 will be installed during normal use is measured.

[0112] ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ The rigidity of the defined cushioning element 20 increases continuously from the first part 22 to the second part 23. Add.

[0113] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2, 6, and 7, the grid structure 21 is multiple The rod elements 25a, 25b, 25c, 26a, 26b, and 26c are included. In Figure 2, the first The rod elements 25a, 25b, and 25c of part 22 are the rod elements 26a of the second part 23. , is arranged at a lower density than 26b and 26c.

The cushioning element 20 extends substantially from the outside of the outsole 10 to the inside of the outsole 10. It extends to the outsole. Moreover, all of the cushioning elements 20 depicted are on the outsole. It does not extend into the heel area 15.

[0116] Figure 9 shows the bending axis (which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the outsole 10 and is normal). During use, the outsole 10 is parallel to the surface 50 on which it will be placed. The bending stiffness of the sole element 30 with respect to the receiving portion 31 is the same as that of the sole element adjacent to the receiving portion 31. The figure shows that the receiving portion 31 is smaller compared to portion 30. This indicates that the bending rigidity is minimized at the receiving portion 31. In particular, the minimum is located in the flex portion 37 of the sole element 30, The buckle portion 37 is the part of the sole element 30 that experiences maximum bending during running. The flexible portion 37 partially extends along the receiving portion 31. More details In this configuration, the flex portion 37 is the second row when counted from the tip of the sole element 30.
