The present invention is related to a slipper with hollow sole, and more particularly to a slipper which can tenderly and snugly attach to a user's sole. In addition, the slipper can provide decorative visual effect.
Slippers are widely used in family life and leisure activity such as dabbling. Slippers with more and more functions and more and more beautiful appearance have been developed. The soles of the conventional slippers are made from foam material, plastic or rubber. With respect to the sole made from the foam material, the sole is quite soft and lightweight. However, such sole tends to be contaminated by dirt and soaked with water. Therefore, in fact, the foam material is not an optimal material for the sole of a slipper. With respect to the rubber sole, such sole is expensive and not so soft as the foam material. A recently popular slipper has a sole made by plastic injection molding. A PVC filament ring pad is attached to the surface of the sole. The PVC filament ring pad provides a good treading feeling. However, dirt tends to accumulate in the PVC filament ring pad and is hard to clean up.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIt is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a slipper with hollow sole made by plastic blowing molding. The plastic-made sole is dirtproof and lightweight.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide the above slipper in which decorative fillings are additionally filled into the hollow sole to achieve decorative effect and enhance the appearance of the slipper.
According to the above objects, the slipper with hollow sole of the present invention includes: a sole made by plastic blowing molding as a flexible envelope, the envelope defining an internal room, a working hole being formed on an edge of the sole; a clump adhered to bottom face of the sole; and a detachable binder. The sole is formed with at least one fixing hole in which at least one end of the binder is detachably fixed. The fixing hole extends from upper face to lower face of the sole.
The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
Please refer to
The sole 1 has a toe section 12 and a heel section 13. The sole 1 is made by plastic blowing molding as a flexible envelope 17. The envelope 17 defines an internal room 11 as shown in
The clump 2 is adhered to bottom face of the sole 1. A bottom face 21 of the clump 2 in contact with the ground is formed with stripes for enhancing friction.
In this embodiment, the binder 3 is fork-shaped and made from rubber. The forked binder 3 has three end sections 31 fixed with the sole 1. The sole 1 has at least three fixing holes 32 for fixing the binder 3. The fixing holes 32 extend from upper face of the sole 1 to lower face of the sole 1. A lower end of each fixing hole 32 is enlarged. The end sections 31 of the binder 3 are fitted through the fixing holes 32 and located in the enlarged lower ends thereof as shown in
The sole 1 is hollow so that the sole 1 is quite lightweight. When a user wears the slippers on both feet, the sole of the user will exert a pressure onto the sole 1 to resiliently deform the sole 1 as shown in
By means of the blowing mold, the surface of the sole 1 can be made with wave stripes or figures as shown in
Referring to
The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, not intended to limit the scope thereof. Many modifications of the above embodiments can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
Claims
