FOOTWEAR HAVING SENSORY FEEDBACK OUTSOLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032643 titled 'FOOTWEAR HAVING SENSORY FEEDBACK OUTSOLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a footwear design that includes a sole structure attached to an upper, creating a cavity for the wearer's foot. The sole structure has an exposed outer member with a first aperture, and within this aperture is a sensory feedback member. The sensory feedback member has a projection at one end that contacts the ground, and at the other end, it has flexible bristles that extend into the sole structure and are exposed to the cavity.

  • The footwear design includes a sole structure with an exposed outer member and a sensory feedback member.
  • The sensory feedback member has a projection that contacts the ground and flexible bristles that extend into the sole structure.
  • The flexible bristles are exposed to the cavity created by the upper and sole structure.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhanced sensory feedback for athletes or individuals engaging in physical activities.
  • Improved stability and balance for wearers by providing tactile feedback from the ground.
  • Potential use in footwear for virtual reality or augmented reality experiences to enhance immersion.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Lack of sensory feedback in traditional footwear designs.
  • Limited stability and balance control in standard shoes.
  • Inadequate tactile feedback for wearers in certain activities or environments.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced proprioception and awareness of foot position and movement.
  • Improved stability and balance control, reducing the risk of falls or injuries.
  • Increased comfort and customization options for wearers through the flexible bristles in the sole structure.


Original Abstract Submitted

an article of footwear may include a sole structure fixedly attached to an upper defining an internal cavity configured to receive a foot of a wearer. the sole structure may include an exposed outer member configured to contact the ground, the exposed outer member including a first aperture, and a sensory feedback member disposed at least partially within the first aperture in the outer member, the sensory feedback member including a first end and a second end. the first end of the sensory feedback member may include a projection extending through the first aperture and configured to contact the ground. in addition, the second end of the sensory feedback member may include a plurality of flexible bristles extending through a portion of the sole structure and exposed to the internal cavity.
