Multi-function shoe
A shoe includes a first part wore by wearers and a second part which includes a C-shaped resilient plate which is fixed to an underside of the first part by its top. A first pin and a second pin are respectively connected to the front end and the rear end of the resilient plate. A base includes a front end which is pivotably connected to the first pin on the resilient plate and two lugs extend from the top of the rear end of the base. Each lug has an elongate slot and the second pin is movably engaged with the two elongate slots of the two lugs. The resilient plate is moved up and down when the second pin is moved within the elongate slots of the base.
The present invention relates to a shoe with a curved resilient plate connected to an underside thereof and a rear end of the resilient plate is moved back and forth by the load of the wearer to provide comfortable wearing feature.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONConventional shoes are designed for a specific purpose, such as tennis shoes, in-line skates or ice skates, which are totally different in structure and functions. In other words, the wearers have to prepare many pairs of shoes for different types of use.
The present invention intends to provide a shoe that can be cooperated with different components to have different functions and includes a curved resilient plate which provides shock absorbing feature.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a shoe that comprises a first part which is wore by wearers and a second part which has a C-shaped resilient plate and a top of the resilient plate is fixed to an underside of the first part. A first connection unit is connected to a front end of the resilient plate and a second connection unit is connected to a rear end of the resilient plate. A first pin and a second pin are connected to the first and second connection units respectively. A base has a front end thereof pivotably connected to the first pin of the first connection unit and two lugs extend from a top of a rear end of the base. Each lug has an elongate slot defined therethrough and the second pin is movably engaged with the two elongate slots of the two lugs.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
A second part 2 includes a C-shaped resilient plate 21 and a top of the resilient plate 21 is fixed to an underside of the first part 1. The resilient plate 21 can be made by glass fibers, carbon fibers, plastic or metal strip. A first connection unit 212 is connected to a front end of the resilient plate 21 and a second connection unit 211 connected to a rear end of the resilient plate 21. The first connection unit 212 includes two clamping plates 2123 between which the first end of the resilient plate 21 is securely connected. A first tubular portion 2121 is connected to the two clamp plates 2123 and a first pin 2122 extends through the first tubular portion 2121. The second connection unit 211 includes two clamping plates 2113 between which the second end of the resilient plate 21 is securely connected. A second tubular portion 2111 is connected to the two clamp plates 2113 and a second pin 2122 extends through the second tubular portion 2111.
A base 22 includes two lugs 2221 extending from the top of the front end 222 of the base 22 and each lug 2221 includes a hole 2222 defined therethrough. Two bushes 2223 are engaged with the two holes 2222 and each bush 2223 includes a through hole 2224. The first pin 2122 pivotably extends through the two through holes 2224 of the two bushes 2223 in the two lugs 2221. Two lugs 2211 extend from the top of a rear end 221 of the base 22 and each lug 2211 has an elongate slot 2212 defined therethrough. Two bushes 2213 are engaged with the two elongate slots 2212 and each bush 2213 includes an elongate slot 2214. The second pin 2112 movably extends through the two elongate slots 2214 of the two bushes 2213 in the two lugs 2211. An outsole 223 is attached to an underside of the base 22.
