Abstract

Provided in the present invention is an outsole including a sheet body which includes a substrate sheet and a continuous body secured to the substrate sheet, and a shoe that has the continuous body having a certain shape and thereby being excellent in functionality.

Claims (42)

1. An outsole comprising at least one sheet body,

the at least one sheet body comprising a substrate sheet and a plurality of strips of continous bodies that is secured to the substrate sheet,

each of the plurality of strips of continous bodies comprising a plurality of protrusions protruding from a surface of the substrate sheet and a connecting member that connects each adjacent ones of the plurality of protrusions on a base end side in a protruding direction,

the substrate sheet comprising a covered portion that is covered by the continous bodies, and an exposed portion that is not covered by the continous bodies to have the surface of the substrate sheet exposed to the outside therethrough,

at least a part of the continous bodies extending on the substrate sheet, and

at least a part of the exposed portion extending along the extending continous bodies,

wherein the plurality of strips of continuous bodies extending in one direction that is a longitudinal direction of a shoe are provided, and the plurality of strips of continuous bodies are arranged on the substrate sheet at intervals in a width direction of the shoe,

each of the continuous bodies is a linear structure that linearly extends by way of connection with the connecting member toward the one direction;

wherein each of the plurality of protrusions has a size in the longitudinal direction being larger than a size in the width direction, and a height of the connecting member is lower than a height of the protrusion.

2. The outsole according to claim 1 , wherein the exposed portion extending along the continuous body has end edges located at a peripheral edge of the substrate sheet.

3. The outsole according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of protrusions and the connecting member of the continuous body are made of the same elastomer composition.

4. The outsole according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate sheet comprises a fiber reinforced plastic sheet.

5. The outsole according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate sheet comprises a resin foamed sheet.

6. A shoe comprising the outsole according to claim 1 .

7. The outsole according to claim 1 ,

wherein the protrusions and the connecting member of each of the plurality of continuous bodies are arranged alternately to each other in the longitudinal direction,

wherein the protrusions of the plurality of the continuous bodies are not connected to each other in a width direction of the shoe, and

wherein the covered portions and the exposed portions are alternately arranged in the width direction of the shoe.

8. The outsole according to claim 7 , wherein the substrate sheet comprises a fiber sheet or a resin film.

9. The outsole according to claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of the protrusions has a size in the longitudinal direction being larger than the size in the width direction.

10. A shoe comprising the outsole according to claim 7 .

11. An outsole comprising at least one sheet body,

the at least one sheet body comprising a substrate sheet and a plurality of strips of continous bodies that is secured to the substrate sheet,

each of the plurality of strips of continous bodies comprising a plurality of protrusions protruding from a surface of the substrate sheet and a connecting member that connects each adjacent ones of the plurality of protrusions on a base end side in a protruding direction,

wherein the connecting member and each of the plurality of protrusions have the same width,

the substrate sheet comprising a covered portion that is covered by the continous bodies, and an exposed portion that is not covered by the continous bodies to have the surface of the substrate sheet exposed to the outside therethrough,

at least a part of the continous bodies extending on the substrate sheet, and

at least a part of the exposed portion extending along the extending continous bodies,

wherein the plurality of strips of continuous bodies extending in one direction that is a longitudinal direction of a shoe are provided, and the plurality of strips of continuous bodies are arranged on the substrate sheet at intervals in a width direction of the shoe,

wherein each of the plurality of protrusions has a size in the longitudinal direction being larger than a size in the width direction, and a height of the connection member is lower than a height of the protrusion.

12. An outsole comprising at least one sheet body,

the at least one sheet body comprising a substrate sheet and a plurality of strips of continous bodies that is secured to the substrate sheet,

each of the plurality of strips of continous bodies comprising a plurality of protrusions protruding from a surface of the substrate sheet and a connecting member that connects each adjacent ones of the plurality of protrusions on a base end side in a protruding direction,

the substrate sheet comprising a covered portion that is covered by the continous bodies, and an exposed portion that is not covered by the continous bodies to have the surface of the substrate sheet exposed to the outside therethrough,

at least a part of the continous bodies extending on the substrate sheet, and

at least a part of the exposed portion extending along the extending continous bodies,

wherein the plurality of strips of continuous bodies extending in one direction that is a longitudinal direction of a shoe are provided, and the plurality of strips of continuous bodies are arranged on the substrate sheet at intervals in a width direction of the shoe,

in the width direction of the shoe, the protrusions are not connected to each other,

the continuous body in which the protrusions and the connecting members are alternately arranged is extended along a length direction of the shoe,

the continuous body extending along the length direction includes the protrusions whose dimensions in the length direction are longer than the dimensions in the width direction, and a height of the connection member is lower than a height of the protrusion,

the covered portion and the exposed portion are provided alternately in the width direction of the shoe.
