Abstract: A process for producing patterned elastic sheetings comprises the steps of providing a pair of press rollers having opposite press surfaces respectively formed with at least one protrusion and one indentation, providing a laminate having at least two elastic sheet layers and one interface, placing the laminate between the rollers and causing the protrusion to press the laminate into the indentation so as to deform the laminate until the interface is deformed, cutting the laminate along a cutting plane that passes between the rollers and that passes through the laminate to divide the laminate into two parts, and causing the laminate to exit from the rollers to return the laminate to a non-deformed state. The interface deforms in a direction transverse to the cutting plane, and a pattern is formed in the laminate on two sides of the cutting plane after the laminate exits.

Abstract: A shock-absorbing insole includes an insole body having a heel portion with first upper and lower surfaces opposite to each other. The first upper surface has an inner peripheral edge region that defines a through hole which extends from the first upper surface to communicate with the first lower surface. A cushioning pad includes a heel-cushioning portion with second upper and lower surfaces and of a dimension substantially equal to that of the through hole, a plurality of spaced apart shock-absorbing posts extending downwardly from the second lower surface, and a peripheral anchoring portion that surrounds the heel-cushioning portion and that is superimposed upon the inner peripheral edge region when the heel-cushioning portion is brought to mate with the through hole such that the shock-absorbing posts extend through the through hole, and have lower ends flush with the first lower surface of the heel portion.
