Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a new typology of shoe sole including an innovative geometry of the structures of loading and discharge to ground.
  • the plantar arch is a complex architecture associating osteoarticular, ligamental and muscular elements of the foot.
  • it can be defined as an arches system, held on the ground on three points that are disposed at the vertices of a ABC triangle.
  • A corresponds to the head of the 1st metatarsus
  • B to the head of the 5th metatarsus
  • C to the back tuberosity of the heel.
  • Each support point is common to two contiguous arches.
  • Between A and B the front arch is drawn, between B and C the external arch and between A and C the internal arch. The latter is the longest and highest and is the most important for the maintaining of the static and dynamic posture.
  • the weight of the body transmitted to the lower limb applies on the back tarsus at the level of the astragalic pulley, from here the forces distribute in three directions, towards the support points of the arch. In the standing position, the heels support the main stress because the half of the body weight is transferred to them.
  • the loads on the three points ABC are subdivided in the measure of 2/6 on A, 1/6 on B and 3/6 on C.
  • the foot behaves as a helix in such a way that the projection to ground of the body mass centre remains mainly centred, i.e. it passes along its own axis, which corresponds roughly to the podalic axis, i.e. the one passing centrally to the backfoot and at the centre between second and third toe.
  • Backfoot and forefoot dispose on planes that intersect in a variable way.
  • the backfoot is disposed vertically and the forefoot horizontally (on a surface of horizontal hold).
  • distortion between backfoot and forefoot mitigates in the relaxing (the foot becomes a platform that can be modeled) and intensifies in the stiffening (the foot becomes a lever).
  • the antigravity mechanism starts by the rotation on the transverse plane, the antigravity mechanism allowing migration of the mass centre upwards.
  • the elastic means in correspondence of the heel and the area between the phalanxes of the second and third toe comprise each one or two springs, whilst the elastic means in correspondence of the two other areas of the foot comprise each and only one spring.
  • said elastic means are made by memory-foam material.
  • the result is a sole with at least four springs inserted in its anatomy, preferably five or six springs, for example realised with memory-foam material, with calibrated force and with spring function realised in such a way to control the distribution of the weight in the three-dimensions of the space (including the transversal one).
  • the inventors have found that more importance is to be given to the phalanxes of the second and third toe as front hold, transferring to the fifth metatarsus the stabiliser function in the static hold.
  • the springs in the present invention do not have the object to improve the response of the soles for athletic aims, but to re-orient the sole underside the foot in relation to the ground.
  • the above-mentioned areas are the only possible areas, and further springs, placed for example in the central part of the foot sole, would nullify wholly or partly the technical effect achieved by the present invention.
  • first two isosceles triangles are individuated, a front one and a back one.
  • the object of the positioning of the springs according to the invention is that of re-directing the return wave from the ground to the centre of the ankle.
  • Each spring will have a different elastic force.
  • the intensity of the force and the proportions between the springs vary depending on the subject to be treated.
  • a spring is placed in each of the four points above individuated.
  • a structuring of the sole in such a way i.e. with springs suitable to direct the reaction force from the ground to the shoe and to redistribute it in the hold points of the plantar arch that the literature identifies as such, executes the function of being able to balance as much as possible situation wherein, for different reasons, the plantar holds changed, creating situations for which the muscles and articulations (both of the foot and the remaining soma, see above) work incorrectly and/or with excessive working loads.
  • the position of the springs as above illustrated describes a 8 whose cross point corresponds to the centre of the plantar arch, i.e., to the tibial-talar articulation, as shown in figure 5 .
  • Figure 6 shows the result of a simulation wherein at the centre of the plantar arch a resulting force is produced thanks to the action of the springs. If one shifts the application points of the above springs, the resultant varies a lot and it is no more applied at the centre of the plantar arch.
  • the position of the elastic elements is similar but not equal to the other patent documents and in particular to the above-mentioned US2005/022424 , US2863231 , US2013/031804 and US5438768 .
  • the elastic element positioned between the phalanxes of the second and third toe and not at the level of the metatarsuses (cf. Figures 2 and 4 ) is decisive to reach the three above-mentioned goals:
  • the position of the element between the second and third metatarsus is at the level of the bodies of the metatarsal bones (therefore much more back of both the metatarsal heads and the zone wherein the present invention places the reference point, i.e. between the phalanxes of the second and third toe).
