Abstract
Functional shoes include a sole, a coupling member including a coupling body detachably coupled to the sole; an auxiliary lever coupled to the coupling body so as to be rotatable toward a bottom surface of the sole; and a fixing part protruding from the auxiliary lever toward the bottom surface of the sole and is detachably coupled to the sole, and at least one functional member provided integrally with the coupling body or detachably coupled to the coupling body to provide a predetermined function to the shoes. The fixing part moves between a coupling position in which the fixing part is coupled to the sole and a separation position in which the fixing part is separated from the sole, by a rotation of the auxiliary lever.
Claims6
Functional shoes comprising:
- a sole;
- a coupling member including:
- a coupling body detachably coupled to the sole;
- an auxiliary lever coupled to the coupling body so as to be rotatable toward a bottom surface of the sole;
- and
- a fixing part protruding from the auxiliary lever toward the bottom surface of the sole and is detachably coupled to the sole,
- a stopping part protruding from the fixing part in at least one of a direction toward the coupling body and an opposite direction away from the coupling body, based on in a state when the fixing part is in a coupling position, and
- at least one protruding part protruding from the auxiliary lever along the bottom surface of the sole, based on when the fixing part is in the coupling position, and
- at least one functional member provided integrally with the coupling body or detachably coupled to the coupling body to provide a predetermined function to the shoes,
- wherein the fixing part moves between the coupling position in which the fixing part is coupled to the sole and a separation position in which the fixing part is separated from the sole, by a rotation of the auxiliary lever,
- wherein the sole includes a first receiving section that is concavely formed in a shape corresponding to shapes of the fixing part and the stopping part and including a depression that is concavely formed inward deeper than the protruding part and providing a marginal space for the fixing part to be elastically deformed,
- wherein the first receiving section is configured to be elastically deformed by force exerted by the fixing part and the stopping part and thereafter returns to an original shape when the fixing part moves from the separation position to the coupling position so as to be received in the first receiving section,
- wherein the fixing part is configured to move from the coupling position to the separation position as the auxiliary lever is rotated by force exerted on the protruding part in a direction away from the sole, and
- wherein a gap is formed between the first receiving section and the protruding part.
A functional unit for shoes, wherein the functional unit is applied to soles of the shoes to provide a predetermined function to the shoes, the functional unit
- comprising:
- a coupling body detachably coupled to the sole;
- an auxiliary lever coupled to the coupling body so as to be rotatable toward a bottom surface of the sole;
- and
- a fixing part protruding from the auxiliary lever toward the bottom surface of the sole and is detachably coupled to the sole, and
- at least one functional member provided integrally with the coupling body or detachably coupled to the coupling body to provide the predetermined function to the shoes,
- wherein the functional member includes a body that is coupled to the coupling body and that has a shape with a top side wider than a bottom side when viewed in a lateral direction of the shoes,
- wherein the coupling body includes a coupling groove that is concavely formed in a shape corresponding to the shape of the body along the lateral direction, and
- wherein the body slides into the coupling groove in the lateral direction so that the functional member is detachably coupled to the coupling body.
