1 TARIFF ERGONOMIC WORK SHOES WITH SMART ASSISTANCE SYSTEM Technological Field: 5 The invention provides ergonomic support and impact protection for use in occupational health and safety. It is related to work shoes that provide hygiene and air circulation. State of the Art: 10 Work shoes protect the foot from impact, crushing, slipping, punctures, and electrical hazards in working environments. It is widely used to protect against risks and similar external influences. Therefore, current work shoes mostly include toe protection, non-slip soles, Features such as a durable exterior and basic footing are included. However, 15 While protection is prioritized in conventional work shoes, they are also designed for long-term use. The emerging needs for ergonomics, air permeability, hygiene and biomechanical compatibility are mostly... Time is not being provided adequately. One of the most common problems with current work shoes is that the shoe structure is heavy. and is durable. Steel-toed work shoes, in particular, are important in terms of impact resistance. While it provides protection, it increases the overall weight of the shoe and is suitable for those who work standing for long periods. This can cause fatigue in users. This situation occurs when standing all day. Jobs that require standing or walking for extended periods require additional strain on the feet, knees, lower back, and upper back. It can create a load, therefore, while maintaining the protective feature of the work shoe, 25 This leads to a decrease in user comfort. Another major problem with work shoes is the air circulation inside the shoe. The problem is its inadequacy. With prolonged use, heat and moisture accumulate inside the shoe. This situation leads to hygiene problems such as sweating, bad odor, and the formation of bacteria and fungi. It prepares the ground. Especially in enclosed structures and workplaces with low air permeability. 2 Because the skin on the feet can remain moist for a long time in shoes, it can cause irritation and water damage to the user. This increases the risk of developing conditions such as calluses, ingrown nails, and similar ailments. In current solutions, air permeability is often determined solely by the upper material or is limited. Ventilation is attempted through the openings. However, the shoe is 5 its sole actively contributes to air circulation through walking motion This failure to provide adequate ventilation means that the heat and moisture accumulating in the indoor environment cannot be removed sufficiently. This is possible. Therefore, breathable material used only on the top surface is recommended for long-term use. It may not be sufficient on its own in long-term and intense working conditions. Another drawback encountered in standard work shoes is that the sole structure does not support walking. The problem is that it doesn't adequately support its biomechanics. Stiff and flat sole structures, heel... the load on the foot during the gait cycle, from the strike to the toe lift It cannot always ensure even distribution across its base. This situation, especially for users who work standing for long periods or who are constantly on the move throughout the day, 15 this leads to the concentration of pressure on certain areas of the sole of the foot and increased foot fatigue. This can be the reason. Users often add later updates to try and resolve these types of problems. They benefit from insoles, support products, or podological treatments. However, these 20 Because the solutions are not integrated into the shoe's own structure, support is provided by the shoe. It may not be possible to achieve complete harmony between the elements. Therefore, the existing approaches to ergonomics, hygiene and load distribution resulting from work shoes It is failing to solve its problems in a lasting and holistic way. Consequently, in the known technique, many protective features are provided in work safety shoes. Although numerous solutions exist, lightness, impact resistance, air circulation, and hygiene are key considerations. an integrated system that considers load distribution and adaptation to different foot anatomies together. There is still a need for a structure suitable for long-term use, user-friendly. 30 that support health and also meet occupational safety requirements An improved work shoe is needed. 3 Description of the invention: The primary purpose of the invention is to provide safety, comfort, and hygiene for users who work standing for long periods. Our goal is to offer an improved work shoe that provides both durability and ergonomic support. The high weight, rigid sole structure, and insufficient ventilation problems encountered in current work shoes are 5 permeability, incompatibility with foot anatomy, and hygiene issues arising from prolonged use. These problems negatively affect user comfort and work efficiency. The invention addresses these issues. Lightweight protective structure against problems, impact-sensitive support layer, air circulation. It offers a holistic solution with its supportive mid-base and hygiene-enhancing interior structure. The composite toe cap included in the invention provides the necessary protection in the front of the shoe. while providing a lighter user experience compared to traditional steel-nosed structures. This situation is particularly relevant for users who remain on their feet for long shifts. It helps reduce the pressure a person might feel in their feet and legs. The non-Newtonian liquid layer is the invention's standout technique in terms of impact resistance. This is one of its features. This layer ensures that flexibility is maintained during normal use. while allowing for more resistant behavior during sudden impact or loading. This shows that protection is achieved without sacrificing the lightweight and flexible structure of the shoe. This ensures that its performance is improved. 20 Silver particle impregnated nylon fabric helps maintain hygiene inside the shoe. This contributes to the problem of sweating and moisture buildup inside the shoe during prolonged use. Because bacteria and fungi can form, this structure helps reduce their growth. This is the case. When considered together with the breathable structure, the user's foot 25 A healthier indoor environment is created that supports health. Located in the middle section. The accordion-like cellular structure makes the invention advantageous in terms of comfort and biomechanical support. This constitutes another important advantage. This structure allows for the dynamic movement of the sole during walking. contributes to the efficient operation and more even transfer of load to the base surface. It provides this. At the same time, air circulation is provided through the cellular structure. 30 Heat and moisture buildup inside the shoe is reduced. 4 Another advantage of the invention is that the work shoe adapts to different foot anatomies. It is designed to provide support in the heel area through its insole structure. The lacing system works together to ensure the shoe fits the foot more evenly. It provides. In conclusion, the invention separates safety and comfort in work footwear. not only does it not evaluate, but it also integrates protective structure with ergonomic and hygienic use as a single whole. It offers a solution that addresses this issue. A lightweight composite nosepiece, a non-Newtonian fluid layer, The combination of silver particle impregnated inner fabric and accordion-structured midsole. Thanks to this, it is more suitable for long-term working conditions, user-friendly and occupational safety 10 A shoe structure that meets their needs is obtained.
