Description

High-elasticity reinforced construction and insole Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a highly elastic reinforced structure, specifically to a highly elastic reinforced edge structure and an insole. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional high-elasticity reinforced construction techniques are often limited in terms of materials and structure, making it difficult to effectively balance the needs of elasticity and support. Common problems include limitations in material selection, such as the inability to provide sufficient elasticity and durability using a single material. In addition, design limitations can also lead to failure to meet ideal functional requirements, such as the inability to effectively distribute or reduce pressure on stressed areas, as well as fatigue or deformation problems that may occur after long-term use.

[0003] Another limitation of traditional technologies lies in the simplification of structural design, which often makes it difficult to maintain stability and durability under different stresses. For example, a single-layer structure may not be able to cope with complex stress distributions, leading to uneven pressure points or structural fatigue in actual use, thereby affecting the product's service life and performance.

[0004] In view of this, the development of a highly elastic edge-reinforced structure is a goal in the relevant field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the unified requirements of elasticity, support, and durability, this invention provides a highly elastic edge-reinforced structure comprising:

[0006] A body, which is plate-shaped or sheet-shaped; and

[0007] A support structure, which is a sheet body and is disposed on any part of the edge of the body, includes at least one concave portion that extends and bends through any part around the body, a spring portion is disposed at the other end of the concave portion opposite to the body, and a gap is formed between the body, the concave portion and the spring portion.

[0008] The supporting structure is integrally formed with the main body.

[0009] Furthermore, the concave portion includes a first concave portion and a second concave portion, the first concave portion being disposed on the support structure adjacent to the body, and the second concave portion being disposed on the support structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the spring portion includes a first spring portion and a second spring portion, the first spring portion being located at the other end of the first concave portion opposite to the body, and the second spring portion being located at the other end of the second concave portion opposite to the first spring portion.

[0011] Two of these gaps are formed between the body, the first concave portion and the first spring piece portion, and between the first spring piece portion, the second concave portion and the second spring piece portion.

[0012] The angle formed between the spring piece and the body is between 0 degrees and 90 degrees.

[0013] The angle formed between two of the spring pieces is between 0 and 90 degrees.

[0014] The main body and the supporting structure can be optionally made of plastic or fiber composite materials.

[0015] The body contains multiple pores.

[0016] Furthermore, an edge-strengthened structure comprises:

[0017] A body, which is plate-shaped or sheet-shaped; and

[0018] A support structure, which is a single piece, is disposed at any part of the edge of the body and extends outward from that edge of the body; wherein

[0019] In a first state, the main body and the supporting structure share a common base position on a plane; and

[0020] In a second state, the support structure is bent to form a concave portion adjacent to the body, a spring piece is placed at the other end of the concave portion opposite to the body, and a gap is formed between the body, the concave portion and the spring piece.

[0021] Furthermore, an insole includes a forefoot portion located at the front end and a rearfoot portion located at the rear end, wherein at least one support structure is disposed on any part of the edge of the forefoot portion or the rearfoot portion, including at least one concave portion extending and bending at the edge of the forefoot portion or the rearfoot portion, a spring portion disposed at the other end of the concave portion opposite to the edge of the forefoot portion or the rearfoot portion, and two gaps formed respectively between the body, the concave portion and the spring portion.

[0022] Furthermore, four of these support structures are respectively located on both sides of the forefoot and the rearfoot.

[0023] Among them, the two support structures located on both sides are aligned with each other.

[0024] Furthermore, the two support structures are respectively disposed on the front edge of the forefoot portion and the rear edge of the heel portion of the insole.

[0025] The main body, the first spring plate, and the second spring plate form a three-layer structure, while the main body includes at least two layers of gaps. This not only allows the main body to effectively absorb pressure when subjected to pressure, giving it a cushioning effect, but also effectively improves its load-bearing capacity through the gaps, preventing the first and second concave portions from fatigue and damage due to long-term use. Furthermore, when this highly elastic reinforced edge structure is applied to wearable items, it can provide a more snug fit, further reducing pressure points on the foot and friction between the foot and the main body, significantly reducing discomfort.

[0026] It is worth noting that when the concave portion is not concave, the body and the support structure are on the same plane, which allows the highly elastic reinforced edge structure to be stacked and stored, further saving space.

[0027] The highly elastic reinforced edge structure allows the body to be applied to various shapes of panels, and the vents can be customized for functions requiring comfort and breathability. At the same time, suitable materials can be selected according to application requirements. Furthermore, the support structure provides the overall elasticity and comfort of the body, while maintaining the support, durability and softness of the panel. Attached Figure Description

[0044] The present invention provides an edge-elasticity reinforced structure comprising a body 10 and a support structure 20, wherein the body 10 is plate-shaped or sheet-shaped, and at least one support structure 20 is connected at any point on the edge of the body 10.

[0045] The present invention does not limit the shape of the body 10, which can be any polygonal plate, including a circular plate or a quadrilateral plate.

[0046] Referring to Figure 1, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the body 10 is an insole. The body 10 includes a forefoot portion, a heel portion, an inner side, an outer side, a front end, and a rear end. The forefoot portion is located from the middle of the body 10 to the toes, the heel portion is located from the middle of the body 10 to the heel, the inner side corresponds to the side of the big toe, the outer side corresponds to the side of the little toe, the front end is located on the side of the toes, and the rear end is located on the side of the heel. Furthermore, the surface of the body 10 may include a plurality of air holes 11, which are evenly distributed on the surface of the body 10, giving the body 10 good breathability.

[0047] The material of the body 10 can be plastic, reinforced carbon fiber composite material, continuous fiber composite material or non-woven fabric.

[0048] The support structure 20 is a single piece, which can be disposed around the body 10 and extend outward. The support structure 20 can be square, semi-circular, or polygonal. The support structure 20 and the body 10 can be integrally formed or combined into one piece by mechanical fixing, lamination, or welding. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support structure 20 and the body 10 are integrally formed.

[0049] Referring to Figure 2, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, four support structures 20 are included. The four support structures 20 are respectively disposed on the inner and outer edges of the toe portion and the inner and outer edges of the heel portion of the body 10. Furthermore, two support structures 20 disposed on the inner and outer edges of the body 10 are aligned with each other.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 4 and 5. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, two support structures 20 are respectively disposed on the front end of the forefoot and the rear end of the heel of the body 10.

[0051] The support structure 20 is made of elastic and rigid plastic, reinforced carbon fiber composite material, or continuous fiber composite material.

[0052] The concave folding method of the support structure 20 includes concave folding after local heating, hot pressing, injection molding, lamination molding, or mechanical concave folding.

[0053] The support structure 20 can be a multi-layered concave-folded structure.

[0054] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the support structure 20 further includes at least one concave portion 21, a spring portion 22, and a gap 23. The concave portion 21, which is a fold or a bend, is located adjacent to the body 10. The spring portion 22 is located at the other end of the concave portion 21 opposite to the body 10. The gap 23 is formed between the body 10, the concave portion 21, and the spring portion 22.

[0055] The gap 23 includes an included angle, and the gap 23 between the body 10 and the concave portion 21 can provide a compression space, so that the edge high elasticity reinforcement structure exhibits its elasticity.

[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, the concave portion 21 includes a first concave portion 211 and a second concave portion 212, and the two spring portions 22 include a first spring portion 221 and a second spring portion 222, as well as two gaps 23. The first concave portion 211 is disposed on the support structure 20 adjacent to the body 10, and the second concave portion 212 is disposed on the support structure 20, wherein the second concave portion 212 is parallel to the length direction of the body 10. The first spring portion 221 is located at the other end of the first concave portion 211 opposite to the body 10, and the second spring portion 222 is located at the other end of the second concave portion 212 opposite to the first spring portion 221. One of the gaps 23 is formed between the body 10, the first concave portion 211 and the first spring piece portion 221, and the other gap 23 is formed between the first spring piece portion 221, the second concave portion 212 and the second spring piece portion 222.

[0057] The angle formed between the spring piece 22 and the main body or the two spring pieces 22 is between 0 degrees and 90 degrees.

[0058] Furthermore, the body 10, the first spring piece 221, and the second spring piece 224 form a three-layer structure, while the body 10 to the support structure 20 includes at least two layers of gap 23. This not only allows the body 10 to effectively absorb pressure when subjected to pressure, giving it a cushioning effect, but also effectively improves the load-bearing capacity of the body 10 through the gap 23, preventing the first concave portion 21 and the second concave portion 22 from fatigue and damage due to long-term use. At the same time, when this highly elastic reinforced edge structure is applied to wearable items, it can provide a more snug fit, further reducing the pressure points on the foot and the friction between the foot and the body 10, significantly reducing discomfort.

[0059] It is worth noting that when the concave portion 21 is not concave, the body 10 and the support structure 20 are on the same plane, which allows the highly elastic reinforced edge structure to be stacked and stored, further saving space.

[0060] The highly elastic reinforced edge structure allows the body 10 to be applied to various shapes of panels, and the air vents 11 can be customized for functions requiring comfort and breathability. At the same time, suitable materials can be selected according to application requirements. Furthermore, the support structure 20 provides the overall elasticity and comfort of the body 10, while maintaining the support, durability and softness of the panel.
