BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to an air cushion, and more particularly to an air cushion with a hive structure that is able to provide an excellent supporting effect.

[0003] 2. Description of Related Art

[0004] With reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, a conventional air cushion is mounted on a bottom of a shoe and comprises a housing (30), an upper cushion (31), a center cushion (32), a spring (33), a lower cushion (34) and two air valve pipes (35). The center cushion (32) has a bottom surface and a spring recess (321). The spring recess (321) is formed on the bottom surface of the center cushion (32).

[0005] The lower cushion (34) has a top surface and a spring recess (341). The spring recess (341) is formed on the top surface of the lower cushion (34).

[0006] The spring (33) is mounted between the spring recesses (321) of the center cushion (32) and the lower cushion (34).

[0007] The housing (30) covers the upper cushion (31), the center cushion (32), the spring (33) and the lower cushion (34) and has a side.

[0008] The two valve pipes (35) are mounted at side of the housing (30).

[0009] When the spring (33) is pressed, force applied from the ground can be eliminated to protect a person's feet. However, the spring (33) also presses against the housing (30) so that the spring (33) will stab through the housing (30) to inject the person's feet.

[0010] Furthermore, the spring (33) does not have an enough supporting effect to support the person's weight. The person is easy to feel uncomfortable, when the person wears a shoe with the conventional air cushion.

[0011] To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides an air cushion to obviate or mitigate the aforementioned problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0012] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an air cushion that has an excellent supporting effect.

[0013] The air cushion has a body and a supporting cushion. The supporting cushion is mounted inside of the body and has multiple hexagon-shaped holes. The holes are formed through the supporting cushion and construct as a hive structure. The hive structure is able to provide the supporting cushion an excellent supporting effect to make a person's feet comfortable. The air cushion does not need any spring to absorb force occurring by a person stepping so that the person's feet will not be injected.

[0014] Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
