ELASTIC SHOE HEEL STRUCTURE OF A SHOE

Abstract

An elastic shoe heel structure of a shoe includes a shoe heel and a shoe sole. The shoe heel is hollow or solid and has an upper edge soldered with a first end of a stepped elastic plate. The shoe heel has a stepped top surface corresponding in shape to the stepped elastic plate. An opposing second end of the stepped elastic plate has through holes for insertion of rivets to be connected to rivet holes of a rear section of the shoe sole. A gap is defined between the stepped elastic plate and the stepped top surface. When the user walks, a bottom of the shoe heel is contact with the ground and transfers a force from the shoe heel to the stepped elastic plate. The stepped elastic plate is compressed to absorb the force, providing a buffer effect.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an elastic shoe heel structure of a shoe. In particular, a shoe heel has elasticity and can absorb the shock to provide a buffer effect.

2. Description of the Prior Art

A conventional shoe heel has a chamber therein. An elastic buffer member composed of a positioning member, an elastic member and a non-slip member is provided in the chamber. Two ends of the elastic member are connected with the positioning member and the non-slip member, respectively. The non-slip has a surface which is slightly exposed out of the chamber. The non-slip member and the elastic member are used to prevent the user from uncomfortableness, being injured or slip. The conventional shoe heel provides a vertical elasticity in the chamber within a limit hole. However, when the user walks on the road, the shoe heel will be contact with the ground at an inclined angle. The side wall of the non-slip member under the elastic member will rub against the inner wall of the chamber. The non-slip member cannot enter the chamber smoothly, which may hurt the foot.

The conventional shoe heel is only applied to a shoe with a bigger shoe heel because the positioning member, the elastic member and the non-slip member must be accommodated in the shoe heel. Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention has devoted himself based on his many years of practical experiences to improve the existing shoe heels.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary object of the present invention is to provide an elastic shoe heel structure of a shoe. An upper edge of a hollow shoe heel is connected with a first end of a stepped elastic plate, and an opposing second end of the stepped elastic plate is provided with the rivets which are inserted into through hole of the stepped elastic plate and rivet holes of a shoe sole in a bottom-up way and then positioned thereat, such that the second end of the stepped elastic plate is connected to a rear section of the shoe sole by the rivets. Alternatively, a front upper section of a solid shoe heel is connected with a fixing portion at the first end of the stepped elastic plate with a plurality of fasteners. The second end of the stepped elastic plate is provided with the rivets which are inserted into the through holes and the rivet holes and then positioned thereat in a bottom-up way, such that the second end of the stepped elastic plate is connected to the rear section of the shoe sole by the rivets. When the user walks on the road, the bottom of the shoe heel will be contact with the ground at an inclined angle. Through the gap A defined between the stepped elastic plate and the stepped top surface, the force from the shoe heel is transferred to the stepped elastic plate. The stepped elastic plate is compressed to absorb and disperse the force, preventing the foot from uncomfortableness, being injured or slip.

Preferably, the shoe heel can be used to a high-heeled shoe or a flat-bottom shoe, and the shoe heel can be hollow or solid as desired. The rear section of the shoe sole can be a complete flat to be soldered or adhered with the second end of the stepped elastic plate for a changeable design with the same practice and action principle as the aforesaid. The shoe heel has elasticity and can absorb the shock.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a shoe of the present invention comprises a shoe heel 2, a shoe sole 3, a mid sole 4, and a vamp 5. The shoe heel 2 is connected to the shoe sole 3, the vamp 5 is connected to the shoe sole 3, and the mid sole 4 is attached to the shoe sole 3.

The shoe heel 2 is made of aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), wood, iron, stainless steel, which is a hollow or solid heel of a high-heeled shoe or flat-bottomed shoe. A front upper edge or a top edge of the shoe heel 2 is soldered with a first end of a stepped elastic plate 21. The shoe heel 2 has a stepped top surface 23 corresponding in shape to the stepped elastic plate 21. An opposing second end of the stepped elastic plate 21 has through holes 211 for insertion of rivets 22 to be soldered or adhered to a bottom of a rear section of the shoe sole 3. A gap A is defined between the stepped elastic plate 21 and the stepped top surface 23.

The rear section of the shoe sole 3 has rivet holes 31 corresponding in position to the through holes 211 of the stepped elastic plate 21. The rear section of the shoe sole 3 can be a complete flat to be soldered or adhered with the second end of the stepped elastic plate 21.

The mid sole 4 is attached to a bottom of the vamp 5.

The vamp 5 can be any kind of women's shoe.

The present invention can absorb a vibration force and reduce the force impact.

FIGS. 2 to 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention. The upper edge of the hollow shoe heel 2 is connected with the first end of the stepped elastic plate 21, and the second end of the stepped elastic plate 21 is provided with the rivets 22 which are inserted into the through holes 211 and the rivet holes 31 in a bottom-up way and then positioned thereat, as shown in FIG. 4. The rivets 22 can be in a reverse arrangement, which are inserted into the rivet holes 31 and the through holes 211 in a top-down way and then positioned thereat. The shoe heel 2 is fixed to the rear section of the shoe sole 3 with the rivets 22. When the user walks on the road, the shoe heel 2 will be contact with the ground at an inclined angle. Through the gap A defined between the stepped elastic plate 21 and the stepped top surface 23, the force from the shoe heel is transferred to the stepped elastic plate 21. The stepped elastic plate 21 is compressed to absorb and disperse the force, preventing the foot from uncomfortableness, being injured or slip. The shoe heel has elasticity and can absorb the shock.

FIGS. 5 to 7 show a second embodiment of the present invention. The front upper section of the solid shoe heel 2 is connected with a fixing portion 212 at the first end of the stepped elastic plate 21 with a plurality of fasteners 24. The fasteners 24 can be screws or bolts. The second end of the stepped elastic plate 21 is provided with the rivets 22 which are inserted into the through holes 211 and the rivet holes 31 in a bottom-up way and then positioned thereat, as shown in FIG. 7. The shoe heel 2 is fixed to the rear section of the shoe sole 3 with the rivets 22, which provides the same function as the first embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, the present invention can be used to a high-heeled shoe or a flat-bottom shoe, and the shoe heel can be hollow or solid as desired. The rear section of the shoe sole 3 can be a complete flat to be soldered or adhered with the second end of the stepped elastic plate 21 for a changeable design with the same practice and action principle as the aforesaid. The shoe heel has elasticity and can absorb the shock.

Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
