Elastic shoe

Abstract

The present invention disclosed one of a pair of elastic shoes including a shoe body having a heel portion, and an elastic mechanism mounted on the heel portion of the shoe body. The elastic mechanism includes a plurality of air cells, and a plurality of plastic sleeves. The relatively higher elastic plastic sleeves are mounted around the air cells to produce a restoring force instantaneously when being subjected to the pressure, so that the elastic mechanism has an excellent resilience. Thus, the elastic shoe has excellent elasticity and shock-absorbing effect to provide a comfortable sensation to a user.

1 . A elastic shoe, comprising: 
 a shoe body having a heel portion;    an elastic mechanism mounted on the heel portion of the shoe body to provide an elastic shock-absorbing effect to the shoe body; wherein    the elastic mechanism includes a plurality of air cells, and a plurality of plastic sleeves each mounted around a periphery of a respective one of the air cells.    
     
     
         2 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the elastic mechanism includes four air cells and four plastic sleeves.  
     
     
         3 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  Claim 1 , wherein the air cells are arranged symmetrically.  
     
     
         4 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the air cells are connected with each other.  
     
     
         5 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the air cells are connected with each other by a connecting pipe.  
     
     
         6 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the connecting pipe has a substantially X-shaped cross-sectional profile.  
     
     
         7 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the each of the plastic sleeves has a relatively higher elasticity.  
     
     
         8 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein each of the plastic sleeves is a hollow body.  
     
     
         9 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein each of the plastic sleeves has a substantially oblong cross-sectional profile.  
     
     
         10 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the air cells has a side provided with an inflating nozzle to fill air into the air cells so as to adjust the air pressure contained in the air cells.  
     
     
         11 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein the plastic sleeves having a relatively higher elasticity are mounted around the air cells to produce a restoring force instantaneously when being subjected to a pressure, so that the elastic mechanism has an excellent resilience.  
     
     
         12 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the air cells and the plastic sleeves of the elastic mechanism are made by a plastic injection molding process.  
     
     
         13 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the elastic mechanism includes five air cells and five plastic sleeves, wherein four air cells are arranged symmetrically and one air cell is located at a central portion of the four air cells.  
     
     
         14 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein the air cells are connected with each other by a connecting pipe, and the one air cell is mounted on a central portion of the connecting pipe.  
     
     
         15 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein each of the plastic sleeves has a substantially semi-circular cross-sectional profile.  
     
     
         16 . The elastic shoe in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein each of the plastic sleeves has a substantially circular cross-sectional profile.
