Abstract
An elastic shoe pad has an elastic seat and a positioning seat engaging with the elastic seat. The elastic seat has an elastic plate, a plurality of connecting bars disposed on a bottom of the elastic plate, and a plurality of elastic tubes connected to the connecting bars. The positioning seat has a plurality of hollow chambers matching the elastic tubes, and a plurality of upper slots communicating with the hollow chambers. The elastic tubes are inserted in the hollow chambers. An outsole has an upper periphery flange. The elastic shoe pad is disposed on the outsole. The upper periphery flange encloses the elastic shoe pad.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an elastic shoe pad. More particularly, the present invention relates to an elastic shoe pad which has an elastic seat and a positioning seat protecting the elastic seat.
Most conventional elastic shoe pads have elastic fatigure problems after a long period of usage. Some elastic shoe pads have air or silicones therein. However, the elastic shoe pads become useless if the elastic shoe pads are pierced.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide an elastic shoe pad which has an elastic seat and a positioning seat protecting the elastic seat.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an elastic shoe pad which has an elastic seat and a positioning seat reducing an elastic fatigure of the elastic seat after a long period of usage.
Accordingly, an elastic shoe pad comprises an elastic seat and a positioning seat engaging with the elastic seat. The elastic seat has an elastic plate, a plurality of connecting bars disposed on a bottom of the elastic plate, and a plurality of elastic tubes connected to the connecting bars. The positioning seat has a plurality of hollow chambers matching the elastic tubes, and a plurality of upper slots communicating with the hollow chambers. The elastic tubes are inserted in the hollow chambers. An outsole has an upper periphery flange. The elastic shoe pad is disposed on the outsole. The upper periphery flange encloses the elastic shoe pad. The upper periphery flange and the elastic shoe pad are sealed together by a high frequency method.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to
FIGS. 1
to
5
A, an elastic shoe pad comprises an elastic seat
10
and a positioning seat
20
engaging with the elastic seat
10
.
The elastic seat
10
has an elastic plate
11
, a plurality of connecting bars
12
disposed on a bottom of the elastic plate
11
, and a plurality of elastic tubes
13
connected to the connecting bars
12
.
The positioning seat
20
has a plurality of hollow chambers
22
matching the elastic tubes
13
, and a plurality of upper slots
21
communicating with the hollow chambers
22
.
The elastic tubes
13
are inserted in the hollow chambers
22
.
An outsole
40
has an upper periphery flange
41
.
The elastic shoe pad is disposed on the outsole
40
.
The upper periphery flange
41
encloses the elastic shoe pad. The upper periphery flange
41
and the elastic shoe pad are sealed together by a high frequency method.
Referring to
FIG. 2
again, a stretcher
30
is inserted in one of the elastic tubes
13
. The elastic tube
13
is deformed and stretched in order to place the elastic tube
13
into the respective hollow chamber
22
. After the elastic tube
13
is inserted in the respective hollow chamber
22
, the stretcher
30
is removed.
The stretcher
30
has a male sleeve
31
inserted in the elastic tube
13
, a female sleeve
32
inserted in the elastic tube
13
, the male sleeve
31
engaging with the female sleeve
32
, the male sleeve
31
having a first flange
311
, the female sleeve
32
having a second flange
321
, a first plug
34
and the first flange
311
clamping an end of the elastic tube
13

A positioning block
37
is disposed on an end of the shaft
33
. A movable block
38
is disposed on another end of the shaft
33
.
Referring to
FIG. 6
, another elastic shoe pad comprises an elastic seat
10
′ and a positioning seat
20
′ engaging with the elastic seat
10
′.
The elastic seat
10
′ has an elastic plate
11
′, seven connecting bars
12
′ disposed on a bottom of the elastic plate
11
′, and seven elastic tubes
13
′ connected to the connecting bars
12
′.
The positioning seat
20
′ has seven hollow chambers
22
′ matching the elastic tubes
13
′, and seven upper slots
21
′ communicating with the hollow chambers
22
′.
