Abstract

An illuminous sole ( 10 ) is configured with a sole body ( 20 ) and electronic device ( 30 ). The sole body ( 20 ) defines a compartment ( 25 ) and a transparent portion ( 26 ) surrounding the compartment ( 25 ). The transparent portion ( 26 ) has an external side ( 262 ) and an internal side ( 264 ) which having a plurality of reflecting surfaces ( 264 b ). The electronic device ( 30 ) is arranged within the compartment ( 25 ) and includes at least a first light-emitting device ( 34 ). Portion of the light beam projected from the first light emitting device ( 34 ) is directed outward from the outer side of the transparent portion ( 26 ) after the portion of light beam is redirected by the reflecting surfaces ( 264 b ). By this arrangement, the light beam from the first light-emitting device ( 34 ) is redirected and broadened to cover winder scope and range. In addition, interweaving of the light beams creates more brighter and colorful effect.
