Abstract

An illuminant shoe has a body, an outsole and an illuminating device. The body has a putting segment, a lifting cover and an insole. The putting segment has a heel lining and a through hole. The lifting cover is connected to the heel lining. The insole is mounted in the putting segment. The outsole is mounted on the putting segment and has a mounting chamber. The illuminating device is mounted in the mounting chamber and has an illuminating module, a controlling module and a switch. The illuminating module has first wires, multiple illuminating elements and a first electrical element. The controlling module is connected to the illuminating module and has two second electrical elements, multiple second wires, a controlling unit, a battery and a protecting casing. The switch is mounted in the putting segment, is connected to the controlling module and has a third wire and a third electrical element.

Claims (47)

1. An illuminant shoe having

a body having

a putting segment having

a bottom;

a rear end;

a heel lining mounted in the bottom of the putting segment; and

a through hole formed through the heel lining near the rear end of the putting segment;

a lifting cover connected to the heel lining to cover the through hole and having a capability of being lifted upward relative to the heel lining of the putting segment; and

an insole mounted in the putting segment and abutting the heel lining and the lifting cover;

an outsole mounted on the bottom of the putting segment of the body and having

a top;

a bottom;

an external sidewall; and

a mounting chamber formed in the top of the outsole and between the heel lining of the putting segment, the lifting cover and the bottom of the outsole and communicating with the through hole of the putting segment; and

an illuminating device mounted in the mounting chamber of the outsole and having

an illuminating module mounted in the mounting chamber of the outsole and having

multiple first wires mounted in the mounting chamber of the outsole and extending to the external sidewall of the outsole, and each first wire having

an extending end extending to the external sidewall of the outsole; and

a connecting end;

multiple illuminating elements respectively connected to the extending ends of the first wires and extending out of the external sidewall of the outsole to emit lights out of the outsole; and

a first electrical element connected to the connecting ends of the first wires of the illuminating module;

a controlling module mounted in the mounting chamber of the outsole below the lifting cover, electrically and detachably connected to the illuminating module and having

two second electrical elements, one of the second electrical elements connected to the first electrical element of the illuminating module;

multiple second wires connected to the second electrical elements;

a controlling unit mounted in the mounting chamber of the outsole and electrically connected to the second wires;

a battery electrically connected to the controlling unit to supply power to the illuminating module and the controlling module; and

a protecting casing mounted in the mounting chamber of the outsole to mount around the controlling unit and the battery; and

a switch mounted in the putting segment, detachably connected to the second electrical element of the controlling module that is free from connecting with the first electrical element of the illuminating module and having

a third wire mounted in the mounting chamber of the outsole and extending out of the bottom of the putting segment via the heel lining or the lifting cover; and

a third electrical element electrical connected to the third wire and electrically connected to the corresponding second electrical element.

2. The illuminant shoe as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the extending ends of the first wires of the illuminating module individually extend to the external sidewall of the outsole in a radial direction; and

the switch is mounted in the putting segment above the heel lining.

3. The shoe as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the outsole is made of a translucent material.

4. The shoe as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the outsole is made of a translucent material.

5. The shoe as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the illuminating elements are light emitting diodes; and

the switch is a pushbutton switch.

6. The shoe as claimed in claim 2 , wherein

the illuminating elements are light emitting diodes; and

the switch is a pushbutton switch.

7. The shoe as claimed in claim 3 , wherein

the illuminating elements are light emitting diodes; and

the switch is a pushbutton switch.

8. The shoe as claimed in claim 4 , wherein

the illuminating elements are light emitting diodes; and

the switch is a pushbutton switch.
