Abstract: A footwear sole obtained by molding a single polymeric material, the footwear sole includes a lower surface to contact the ground, and an upper surface to support an insole and, on the upper surface, at least one elastically deformable cushioning element. The cushioning element includes an elongated element cantileverly protruding from the upper surface, and a plurality of tabs extending from the upper surface that are arranged around the elongated element, thereby defining a dome. In an undeformed configuration of the cushioning element the tabs are upright, and there is a gap between the tabs and the elongated element, and in a deformed configuration of the cushioning element the tabs are each bent towards the elongated element and in abutment against it. The switching from the undeformed to the deformed causes the area of the bearing surface provided to the insole by each cushioning element to gradually increase.

Abstract: A footwear structure includes an upper provided with a mouth, a tip end and a front portion that is between the mouth and the tip end, a first lining housed inside the footwear structure, and a first through opening arranged on the front portion of the upper, and a first appendage externally arranged on the first lining at a position substantially corresponding to the first through opening, wherein the first appendage engages the first through opening and wherein the first appendage is accessible from the outside of the footwear structure.

Abstract: A closing system of a shoe or clothing item or accessory, including a lace, a substrate having an inner face and an exposed face opposite the inner face, a lace-locking element for adjusting the tension of the lace, which lace-locking element is arranged at the exposed face of the substrate and which is crossed by the lace thus defining a lace portion downstream of the lace-locking element comprising two lace segments coming out of the lace-locking element, one or more first passages integral with the substrate, wherein the lace portion downstream of the lace-locking element crosses the one or more first passages thus defining, on the side of the exposed face, an end portion of lace extended beyond one or more first passages and which comprises one lace segment or two lace segments not contiguous to each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sole structure (1) for luminous footwear, comprising a sole (2) and a self-powered luminous device (3) combined with the sole, wherein the luminous device comprises: n light sources (5) with n>2, a piezoelectric system (6) comprising at least one supporting layer (8) and at least one first piezoelectric layer (9) combined with each other, and connecting means (7) to electrically connect the piezoelectric system to the light sources comprising a first electric cable (10) and a second electric cable (11) which have respective first ends (12, 13) electrically connected to the piezoelectric system, wherein n-m light sources (14, 15), with m>1, are arranged in the luminous device with a given electrical polarity, and m light sources (16) are arranged in the luminous device with an opposite electrical polarity with respect to the given electrical polarity, and wherein the luminous device is without electrical battery.

Abstract: A fabric structure includes a first layer, a second layer, and a spacing layer that interconnects the first layer and the second layer, wherein, the interconnecting of the first layer, second layer, and third layer forms a plurality of channels.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit for controlling light sources for a luminous garment, such as footwear, jackets, trousers, caps, belts. The circuit comprises an electric power source, such as a battery, a processor, one or more light sources and a switch. The processor and the light sources are powered by the electric power source. The light sources are connected to the processor, which controls their turning on and turning off, for example selectively based on a light program. The switch is connected to both the electric power source and the processor, and can be operated by the user in order to switch the processor on and off. The circuit is advantageously configured so that the electric resistance inside the processor, between the contact with the switch and the contact with the positive pole of the electric power source, is higher than the circuit resistance upstream of the processor itself, i.e. the resistance between the electric power source and the contact of the processor with the switch.

Abstract: A ventilated and breathable garment structure (10, 110) including an inner layer (11, 111) facing the body of the wearer and extending for at least a portion of the garment, an intermediate layer (12, 112) of padding, forming together with the inner layer a first gap (13, 113) and an outer layer (14, 114) having air vents (15, 115), for the entry of air from the outside and/or for the exit of moist warm air from inside the garment, and which forms together with the intermediate layer a second gap (16, 116). The intermediate layer includes at least in one or more zones, at least one channeled padding (18, 18?, 118) for the passage of said moist warm air and said air from the outside.
