Elastic Structure And Shoe Thereof
A shoe includes a shoe body, which forms an accommodation space; and an elastic structure, which includes an elastic connector; a first coupling section that is mounted to an end of the elastic connector; and a second coupling section that is set opposite to the first coupling section and is mounted to an opposite end of the elastic connector. The first coupling section is set at one side of the accommodation space and the second coupling section is set at an opposite side of the accommodation space. As such, when a wearer puts her foot in the shoe body, the elastic connector can be fit over a heel of the wearer so that the shoe body is securely attached to the foot of the wearer without undesired separation, whereby an effect of preventing separation of the shoe body can be achieved when the wearer is walking.
The present invention relates to an elastic structure and a shoe thereof, and in particular to a shoe structure that comprise an elastic connector mounted to the shoe body to allow the elastic connector to fit over the heel of a wearer when the wear puts on the shoe so as to have the shoe body securely attached to the foot of the wearer without undesired separation.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONHigh-heels are a pair of shoes having extremely high shoe heels for the purposes of making the wearer's heels apparently higher than toes. Wearing high-heels usually extends the curve between the shank and the sole thereby making the curve of the shank more prominent, forcing the wearer to straighten her back, and changing the walking posture of the wearer. As a result, the wearer may show improved presence and elongated body height.
Although wearing high-heels makes the wearers walking in a more elegant manner and showing better presence, yet it often occurs that the heels of the wearer may get separate from the high-heels when the wearer is trotting and eventually the high-heels may come off the feet, making the wearer very embarrassing.
In view of such a problem, the present invention aims to provide an elastic structure and a shoe thereof, wherein an elastic connector is mounted to the shoe body to allow the elastic connector to fit over the heel of a wearer when the wear puts on the shoe so as to have the shoe body securely attached to the foot of the wearer without undesired separation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONAn object of the present invention is to provide an elastic structure and a shoe thereof, wherein an elastic connector is mounted to the shoe body to allow the elastic connector to fit over the heel of a wearer when the wear puts on the shoe so as to have the shoe body securely attached to the foot of the wearer without undesired separation.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an elastic structure, which comprises an elastic connector; a first coupling section, which is mounted to an end of the elastic connector; and a second coupling section, which is set opposite to the first coupling section and is mounted to another end of the elastic connector.
The present invention also provides a shoe, which comprises a shoe body, which forms an accommodation space; and an elastic structure, which comprises an elastic connector; a first coupling section that is mounted to an end of the elastic connector; and a second coupling section that is set opposite to the first coupling section and is mounted to an opposite end of the elastic connector, wherein the first coupling section is set at one side of the accommodation space and the second coupling section is set at an opposite side of the accommodation space.
As such, when a wearer puts her foot in the shoe body, the elastic connector can be fit over a heel of the wearer so that the shoe body is securely attached to the foot of the wearer without undesired separation, whereby an effect of preventing separation of the shoe body can be achieved when the wearer is walking.
The present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art by reading the following description of preferred embodiments thereof with reference to the drawings, in which:
With reference to the drawings and in particular to
The elastic connector 20 further comprises a first elastic connection section 21 and a second elastic connection section 22. The first elastic connection section 21 has an end coupled to an end of the second elastic connection section 22.
Further, the first elastic connection section 21 comprises a first elastic segment 211 and a first sleeve 212. The first elastic segment 211 has an end received in and fixed to the first sleeve 212. The second elastic connection section 22 comprises a second elastic segment 221 and a second sleeve 222. The second elastic segment 221 has an end received in and fixed to the second sleeve 222. The first elastic segment 211 has an opposite end connected to an opposite end of the second elastic segment 221.
The connection between the first elastic segment 211 and the second elastic segment 221 can be effected with various means. For example, the opposite end of the first elastic segment 211 and the opposite end of the second elastic segment 221 are respectively provided with counterpart components of for example a Velcro strip, a fastener, or a snap-fitting coupling.
The first sleeve 212 and the second sleeve 222 are each provided with an opening 311, 322. When not put in use, the openings 311, 322 respectively receive and hide the first elastic segment 211 and the second elastic segment 221 in the first sleeve 212 and the second sleeve 222 to provide an effect of aesthetics.
Also referring to
As such, when a wearer puts her foot in the shoe body 10, the elastic connector 20 can be fit over a heel 40 of the wearer so that the shoe body 10 is securely attached to the foot of the wearer without undesired separation, whereby an effect of preventing separation of the shoe body 10 can be achieved when the wearer is walking.
Referring to
Referring to
In summary, the features of the present invention are listed as follows.
(1) Through the elastic connector fitting over a heel of a wearer, the shoe body can be securely attached to the foot of the wearer without undesired separation, whereby an effect of preventing separation of the shoe body can be achieved when the wearer is walking.
(2) When not in use, the first elastic segment and the second elastic segment are respectively received through the openings and concealed in the first sleeve and the second sleeve without causing any undesired influence on the outside appearance of the shoe body thereby achieving an effect of aesthetics.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
