Essence-replaceable, ventilative, and releasable shoe
View Patent ↗An essence-replaceable, ventilative, and releasable shoe includes a shoe body, which includes an outsole layer, a midsole layer, an insole layer, and a vamp, and an air bladder, which is arranged between the midsole layer and the insole layer. The air bladder includes an absorbent member arranged therein. The air bladder is connected with an air tube that has a discharge opening located between the midsole layer and the insole layer. The absorbent member inside the air bladder may absorb and hold therein an essential oil so that when a user wearing the shoe walks and compresses the air bladder; the air bladder generates an airflow that carries aromatic particles of the essential oil to flow through the air tube to be discharged to the foot of the user thereby realizing ventilation and deodorization with the aromatic smell of the essential oil.
1. An essence-replaceable, ventilative, and releasable shoe, comprising:
a shoe body, which comprises an outsole layer, a midsole layer, an insole layer, and a vamp; and
an air bladder, which is arranged between the midsole layer and the insole layer, the air bladder comprising an absorbent member arranged therein, the air bladder forming an air passage hole to connect with an air tube in such a way that a discharge opening of the air tube is located between the midsole layer and the insole layer;
wherein an accommodation chamber is formed between the midsole layer and the insole layer to receive the air bladder therein, the insole layer and the midsole layer being coupled to each other by a hook-and-loop fastener.
2. The essence-replaceable, ventilative, and releasable shoe according to claim 1 , wherein the absorbent member of the air bladder comprises sponge, cotton, or fabric.
3. The essence-replaceable, ventilative, and releasable shoe according to claim 1 , wherein the air bladder forms a filling hole, over which a coupler is fit in such a way that an opening of the coupler is in alignment with an aperture of the insole layer, a plug normally blocking the opening of the coupler.
4. The essence-replaceable, ventilative, and releasable shoe according to claim 1 , further comprising a retention seat, which comprises two plates, which are respectively provided with retention pegs and retention holes engageable with each other to secure the retention seat around a circumference of the air bladder, the two plates of the retention seat being respectively fixed to the insole layer and the midsole layer.
5. The essence-replaceable, ventilative, and releasable shoe according to claim 1 , wherein the midsole layer is arranged to completely cover an undersurface of the insole layer.
6. The essence-replaceable, ventilative, and releasable shoe according to claim 1 , wherein the midsole layer is arranged to partially cover an undersurface of the insole layer.
7. The essence-replaceable, ventilative, and releasable shoe according to claim 1 , wherein the outsole layer has a side wall in which a bore is defined in such a way that the bore communicates with an air channel formed between the midsole layer and the insole layer, a one-way valve being arranged in the bore.
8. The essence-replaceable, ventilative, and releasable shoe according to claim 7 , wherein the one-way valve comprises a tube, which has a first end movably receiving therein a ball and a second end threadingly fit to an adjusting bar, a spring being arranged between the ball and the adjusting bar.
