DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0010] In order to better understand the present disclosure, the present disclosure will
be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings
show a preferred embodiment of the disclosure. However, the present disclosure is
implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described
below.
[0011] Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a non-slippery outsole article comprises a first
sole (10) and a plurality of slip-resistant blocks (20). The first sole (10) has two
opposite sections, a top section in contact with a shoe body and a bottom section
in contact with ground. The slip-resistant blocks (20) are mounted in partition to
the bottom section of the first sole (10). A plurality of protrusions (11) are mounted
on the top section of the first sole (10). The first sole (10) and the slip-resistant
blocks (20) are made of rubber. The hardness of the slip-resistant blocks (20) is
greater than the hardness of the first sole (10).
[0012] When the shoe body contacts the top section of the first sole (10), a plurality of
protrusions (11) touch against the shoe body to provide slip resistance in help of
shoe positioning on the ground. The slip-resistant blocks (20) are made of rubber
and have a rough surface. Compared to the cleats, the slip-resistant blocks made of
rubber are comparatively safer than the slip-resistant anchored by cleats to the wearers.
In addition, the rubber material has characteristics of low temperature, durability,
slip resistance, and anti-friction. The non-slippery outsole article provides slip
resistance against the ground covered by ice or snow.
[0013] An elastic front strip (41) and an elastic rear strip (42) are deployed at the opposite
ends of the first sole (10) forming the non-slippery outsole article. The elastic
front strip (41) and the elastic rear strip (42) serve to position the non-slippery
outsole article onto the shoe body by way of sleeving the elastic front strip (41)
to the front end of shoe and the elastic rear strip (42) at the rear end of shoe.
[0014] Please refer to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, the second embodiment of the present disclosure,
an elastic strip (51) is attached to the first sole (10) to form the non-slippery
outsole article. The operation of the non-slippery outsole article is to sleeve the
opposite ends of the elastic strip (51) at the front end of shoe and the rear end
of the shoe respectively. The first sole (10) has a limit portion (52) mounted in
a circumferential direction around the edge of the slip-resistant blocks (20), thus,
the top section of the first sole (10) has convex radians in edge-to-center formation
protruding from the bottom section of the first sole (10). When the first sole (10)
touches the ground, the first sole (10) deforms into a flat shape when under pressure
of the body weight. The limit portion (52), defining the shape of the first sole (10),
lessens the deformation of the pressure generated by the body weight.
[0015] In the second embodiment of the present disclosure, a stopper (30) and the slip-resistant
blocks (20) are mounted on the middle section of the first sole (10). When the first
sole (10) is being forced, the stopper (30) avoids the slip-resistant blocks (20)
being deviated and deformed in help of positioning. The stopper (30) and the limit
portion (52) are made of plastic. The hardness of the stopper (30) is greater than
the hardness of the slip-resistant blocks (20). The hardness of the limit portion
(52) is greater than the hardness of the slip-resistant blocks (20).
[0016] Please refer to FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, the third embodiment of the present disclosure,
the non-slippery outsole article comprises a second sole (60) deployed with a plurality
of elastic strips (61). The elastic strips (61) are attached to the first sole (10)
and the second sole (20) respectively to form the non-slippery outsole article. The
second sole (60) has two opposite sections, a top section in contact with a shoe body
and a bottom section in contact with the ground. The top section of the second sole
(60) has convex radians in edge-to-center formation and the bottom section has a plurality
of protrusions (64) distribution. When the shoe body contacts the top section of the
second sole (60), a plurality of protrusions (64) touch against the shoe body for
slip resistance and positioning concerns. A plurality of slip-resistant blocks (65)
and a stopper (63) are mounted in partition on the bottom section of the second sole
(60). The stopper (63) is mounted on the middle section of the second sole (60). A
limit portion (62) is mounted in a circumferential direction around the edge of the
second sole (60). When the second sole (60) touches the ground, pressure generated
by the body weight forces the second sole (60) to deform into a flat shape. The limit
portion (62) defines the shape of the second sole (60) lessening the deformation generated
from the pressure. The stopper (63) avoids the slip-resistant blocks (65) being deviated
and deformed in help of positioning. The slip-resistant blocks (65) are made of rubber
and have a rough surface. Compared to the cleats, the slip-resistant blocks made of
rubber are comparatively safer than the slip-resistant anchored by cleats to the wearers.
The non-slippery outsole article provides slip resistance against the ground covered
by ice or snow.
[0017] In the third embodiment of the present disclosure, the non-slippery outsole article
comprises a front sleeve and a rear sleeve. The front sleeve is deployed at the front
end of the top section of the second sole (60). The rear sleeve is deployed at the
