Definitions
- the present invention relates to a removable inner sole for shoes, having a primitive plane or curved profile and deforming gradually and permanently in contact with the foot to finally adopt the profile thereof.
- Insoles are already known, the profiles of which have been conformed to the morphology of the foot, in particular in sports shoes such as ski or mountaineering boots.
- the soles are in particular made of a heat-deformable material and require the use of relatively expensive and bulky forming material.
- these soles are permanently in the shoe of which they are generally an integral part.
- the invention aims to provide a solution to prob- previous 25 me by offering an insole a ⁇ ovible f or shoes having a profile, original plan or curved.
- This sole consists of a thin sheet of plastic foam, having the general shape of the foot and gradually and permanently deforming in contact with the foot. to finally adopt the profile.
- This sheet has at least on a part of its border and in ⁇ terior thereto a groove intended to facilitate deformation.
- the sheet may also include, not skirting the border, other grooves, for example grooves in an arc forming a circle and ending at the border.
- the grooves locally delimit zones, which can be of equal densities as well as of different densities.
- the zones of different densities correspond to zones of different thicknesses, which are produced for example by pressing from a thin sheet.
- the sheet can thus comprise, delimited by a groove in an arc of a circle, two distinct zones, namely a main zone and an arch area,. equal or different densities.
- the sheet comprises three distinct zones, ie a substantially central main zone and two zones corresponding on the one hand to the planetary arch, and on the other hand to the external toes.
- the density of these two zones is greater than that of the central zone constituting the rest of the sole.
- the density of the central area is the same as the density of the toe area.
- the edges of the sole are bevelled.
- the role of the different grooves is to facilitate the deformation by creating lines of . weakness and obviously as long as, precisely as a result of deformation, the sole does not crease.
- the sole can be made of any material. deformable, preferably heat-deformable, such as polyolefin foams, in particular closed cell polyolefins. Examples include polyethylenes, polypropylenes, polybutylenes and polyisobutylenes.
- the thickness of the sheet constituting the sole is of the order of 2 to 5 mm.
- the sole may have a primitive planar profile, or already curved, so as to be pre-profiled in the general shape of a foot.
- the sole can be placed as it is in the shoe and take the final shape by heat deformation with simple heat radiated by the feet. To ensure proper positioning and speed up the process, it is generally preferred to preheat the sole before placing it in the shoe.
- the sole is molded around the foot, outside the shoe. It is placed in the shoe permanently or remains removable, only after having adopted its final profile, that of the foot.
- the grooves are formed on the underside, shoe side, but it should be understood that the grooves could just as easily be formed on the upper face, foot side.
- FIG. 1 is a bottom view of the sole, 30. having a primitive plane profile.
- Figure 2 is a sectional view along II-II of Figure 1, after pivoting towards the front of the sheet along an axis parallel to II-II passing through the heel.
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the sole having taken the profile of the foot.
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view along the axis IV-IV of FIG. 3.
- Zone 1 the underside of a new sole, that is to say not yet deformed to the pro ⁇ foot.
- This sole is made of a sheet 1 of a plastic foam, for example of -polyethylene.
- This sheet 1 is pierced with pores 2 and comprises three distinct zones, of different thicknesses, 3, 4 and 5.
- Zone 3 has a lower thickness, that is to say a greater density, and serves as foot support area.
- Zone 4 of slightly greater thickness, therefore of slightly less density, corresponds to the arch of the foot and is intended to marry the arch of the foot.
- Zone 5 which is thicker and therefore less dense than zone 3, serves as a support zone for the toes, in particular for the small toes.
- the zones 4 and 5 advantageously have the same thickness, therefore the same density.
- the central zone 3 may include, at the heel, a zone (not shown) of lesser thickness and therefore of greater density. This area is primarily intended to support the heel which receives the greatest efforts. This area can also be set to make the most of the imprint of a brand.
- the sole is shown as it is in the shoe, ie after deformation by the foot of the user.
- the sole is shown without anti-perspiration film.
- the sole shown in FIG. 1 has been put, for example after preheating in the shoe of the user and the latter has been invited to walk. It deformed by taking the profile of the foot and the shoe due to the nature of the material constituting it. In addition, the deformation was facilitated by the presence of grooves 6, 7 and 8, the bevels 9 and 10 contributing to better comfort. Note that this sole, as deformed, is free of folds.
- the depth of the grooves is of the order of 15 to 50% of the thickness of the sheet 1.
- Figure 4 shows, in section, IV-IV of Figure 3, the transverse profile obtained after the deformation.
- the sole with a primitive profile can be molded around the foot before being put into the shoe.

Abstract
La semelle intérieure amovible pour chaussure est constituée d'une mince feuille (1) de mousse plastique, par exemple en polyoléfines, ayant la forme générale du pied. Cette feuille (1) comprend des gorges (6, 7, 8) situées en bordures de la semelle ou délimitant dans celle-ci des zones (3, 4, 5) d'épaisseurs différentes, donc de densités différentes. Les bords de la semelle sont en biseaux (9, 10). La semelle (1) se déforme progressivement et définitivement au contact du pied et en adopte finalement le profil. Les gorges (6, 7, 8) facilitent la déformation.The removable insole for shoes consists of a thin sheet (1) of plastic foam, for example polyolefins, having the general shape of the foot. This sheet (1) comprises grooves (6, 7, 8) located at the edges of the sole or delimiting therein zones (3, 4, 5) of different thicknesses, therefore of different densities. The edges of the sole are bevelled (9, 10). The sole (1) deforms gradually and definitively on contact with the foot and finally adopts its profile. The grooves (6, 7, 8) facilitate deformation.
