Application: Anti-slip member for wearable equipment or sports equipment, wearable equipment, and sports equipment (Patent ID: US20230389652A1)
The patent filed by ASICS Corp. describes an anti-slip member for wearable or sports equipment, consisting of an elastomer composition with water-soluble particles dispersed within it. The water-soluble particles have an average size ranging from 10 µm to 100 µm and are present in a specific proportion within the composition. The elastomer used in the anti-slip member has a low tensile elastic modulus of 10 MPa or less, enhancing its flexibility and grip.
The anti-slip member can be incorporated into wearable equipment such as shoes, where it is placed at key contact points on the sole to improve traction. The composition of the anti-slip member includes a surface layer with exposed water-soluble particles or recesses from dissolved particles, along with an internal region containing a specific volume percentage of the particles. The water-soluble particles are primarily inorganic salts, with sodium chloride being a specific example. This innovative design aims to enhance the anti-slip properties of wearable and sports equipment, providing better grip and stability for users during various activities.
