Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Schuhwerk mit Einlagesohle zur lösbaren Befestigung darin. In gesundheitsbewussten Kreisen und bei Berufsleuten, die besonders viel stehen und gehen müssen, sind Schuhe mit genoppter Fussbetteinlage verbreitet und beliebt. Es sind auch Fussbetteinlagen bekannt, die nebst der noppenartigen Oberflächenstruktur an den vier Hauptpunkten der Fussreflexzonen mit magnetischen Metallteilen versehen sind. Schuhe mit solchen Fussbett­einlagen gibt es jedoch bisher bloss in offener oder halboffener Ausführung, wobei die genoppte Fussbetteinlage fest und unlösbar mit der Schuhsohle verbunden ist. Durch die noppenartige Oberfläche dieser Sohleneinlagen erweisen sich diese als eigentliche Schmutzfänger und müssen daher oft gewaschen werden. Es sind Schuhmodelle mit solchen Einlagesohlen bekannt, die vollständig aus Gummi gefertigt sind und daher einfach in einer Waschmaschine waschbar sind. Der Preis für diesen Pflegekomfort besteht jedoch darin, Schuhe mit einem Obermaterial aus Plastik tragen zu müssen, ein Umstand der vielen Leuten nicht zusagt. Die Erfindung setzt sich daher zum Ziel, unter Beibehaltung des Pflegekomforts der Einlagesohle eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die eine Varierbarkeit der Schuhmodelle in Material und Design erlaubt, und trotzdem eine ideale Einlagesohle der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, die speziell mit magnetischen Metalleinlagen an den vier Hauptpunkten der Fussreflexzonen versehen ist. Nach dem bisherigen Stand der Technik sind Schuhwerke mit Einlagesohlen, die sich dadurch auszeichnen, dass sie herausnehmbar sind, längst bekannt. Genoppte und mit magnetischen Metalleinsätzen versehene Einlagesohlen zur Massage der Fussreflexzonen hingegen sind bisher immer fest mit der Schuhsohle verbunden. Diese Tatsache hat ihren Grund darin, dass solche Sohlen bisher ausschliesslich in offenen oder halboffenen Schuhen zur Anwendung kamen. Wäre die Einlagesohle hier bloss eingelegt, so würde sie beim Gehen mangels einer Führung um ihren ganzen Rand unweigerlich verrutschen. Wie bereits erwähnt, besteht bei solcherart genoppten Einlagesohlen das Problem der starken Verschmutzung. Gestaltet man sie deswegen herausnehmbar, so muss das Problem der sicheren Verbindung der Einlagesohle mit dem Schuhwerk gelöst werden. Die deutsche Offenlegungsschrift 2845880 gibt eine mögliche Lösung an. Hierbei wird vorgeschlagen, im Fersenbereich die Einlagesohle mit einem Klettverschluss mit der Brandsohle des Schuhwerkes zu verbinden. Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung wird aber damit nicht befriedigend gelöst, denn durch die noppenartige Struktur der erfindungsgemässen Einlagesohlen werden beim Gehen auch Kräfte auf den Vorderteil der Einlagesohle wirksam und da diese nicht starr ist, kann sie sich dennoch verschieben. Die vorliegende Erfindung hingegen löst die Aufgabe, indem sie ein Schuhwerk mit einer Einlagesohle mit fussreflexzonen-massierender Wirkung der erwähnten Art schafft, das sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass auf der Unterseite der Einlagesohle gegenüber den Metallteilen je ein Druckknopfteil angebracht ist und dass deren Gegenstücke in die Sohle des Schuhwerkes eingelassen sind. In den Zeichnungen ist eine beispielsweise Ausführung der Einlagesohle eines erfindungsgemässen Schuhwerkes dargestellt. Es zeigt:

  • Figur l eine perspektivische Ansicht einer Einlagesohle, die halb in ein Schuhwerk eingelegt ist,
  • Figur 2 eine Ansicht der Einlagesohle von unten und
  • Figur 3 einen Querschnitt durch die Einlagesohle, einen Druckknopf und die Schuhwerksohle.
The present invention relates to footwear with an insole for releasable attachment therein. Shoes with a nubbed insole are widespread and popular in health-conscious circles and among professionals who have to stand and walk a lot. There are also known footbed inserts which, in addition to the knob-like surface structure, are provided with magnetic metal parts at the four main points of the foot reflex zones. Shoes with such footbed inserts, however, have so far only been available in an open or semi-open design, the pimpled footbed insert being firmly and permanently attached to the sole of the shoe. Due to the nub-like surface of these insoles, they prove to be the real ones Mud flaps and therefore have to be washed often. Shoe models with such insoles are known which are made entirely of rubber and are therefore easy to wash in a washing machine. However, the price of this comfort is to have to wear shoes with a plastic upper, a fact that many people do not like. The invention therefore aims to provide a device that allows the shoe models to be varied in material and design, while still maintaining the comfort of the insole, and yet to create an ideal insole of the type mentioned at the outset, specifically with magnetic metal inserts on the four Main points of the foot reflex zones is provided. According to the prior art, footwear with insoles, which are distinguished by the fact that they can be removed, have long been known. In contrast, nubbed insoles for massaging the foot reflex zones, which are provided with magnetic metal inserts, have always been firmly connected to the shoe sole. The reason for this is that such soles have so far only been used in open or half-open shoes. If the insole were only inserted here, it would be around its entire edge when there was no guidance when walking inevitably slip. As already mentioned, there is the problem of heavy soiling with such insoles. If you make them removable, the problem of securely connecting the insole to the footwear must be solved. The German patent application 2845880 gives a possible solution. It is proposed to connect the insole in the heel area to the insole of the footwear with a Velcro fastener. However, the object of the present invention is not satisfactorily achieved because the knob-like structure of the insoles according to the invention also forces the front part of the insole when walking and since it is not rigid, it can nevertheless shift. The present invention, on the other hand, achieves the object by creating footwear with an insole with a foot reflex zone-massaging effect of the type mentioned, which is characterized in that a push-button part is attached to the metal parts on the underside of the insole and that their counterparts are inserted into the Sole of the footwear are embedded. An example embodiment of the insole of a footwear according to the invention is shown in the drawings. It shows:
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an insole that is half inserted into a piece of footwear,
  • Figure 2 is a view of the insole from below and
  • Figure 3 shows a cross section through the insole, a push button and the footwear sole.

Die Figur l zeigt alle erfindungswesentlichen Merkmale auf einen Blick. Auf der Oberseite der Einlagesohle l sind die Noppen 2 und eine magnetische Metalleinlage 3 zur Massage eines der vier Hauptpunkte der Fussreflexzonen erkennbar. Die Unterseite zeigt die Anordnung der Druckknopfteile 4, die hier erfindungsgemäss den magnetischen Metalleinlagen gegenüberliegen. Das Gegenstück 6 zum Druckknopfteil 5 ist eingelassen in der Sohle 7 des Schuhwerks erkennbar. Mittels vier solcher speziell angeordneter Druckknöpfe lässt sich die Einlagesohle sehr einfach herausnehmen und nach erfolgter Reinigung wieder einsetzen. Der Reinigung in einer Waschmaschine steht nichts mehr im Wege. Da Schuhe mit solchen Sohlen vor allem bei Berufsleuten beliebt sind, die während ihrer Arbeitszeit nicht ins Freie gehen, sind besonders offene und halboffene Schuhe zur Kombination mit den erfindungsgemässen Einlagesohlen vorgesehen.Figure 1 shows all the features essential to the invention at a glance. The knobs 2 and a magnetic metal insert 3 for massaging one of the four main points of the foot reflex zones can be seen on the top of the insole l. The underside shows the arrangement of the push button parts 4, which according to the invention lie opposite the magnetic metal inserts. The counterpart 6 to the push button part 5 can be seen embedded in the sole 7 of the footwear. With four such specially arranged push buttons, the insole can be easily removed and reinserted after cleaning. Nothing stands in the way of cleaning in a washing machine. Since shoes with such soles are particularly popular with professionals who do not go outdoors during their working hours, particularly open and semi-open shoes are provided for combination with the insoles according to the invention.

Figur l zeigt einen solchen Schuh, bei dem das Fersenband 8 ausserdem ebenfalls mit Druckknöpfen befestigt ist. Deshalb kann ein solches Schuhmodell als offener wie auch halboffener Schuh verwendet werden. Damit der Schuh für möglichst viele Fussformen optimal anpassbar ist, verfügt er über eine speziell weit nach vorne zur Schuhspitze hin geschnittene Einstiegöffnung. Diese wird durch eine lange Lasche l0 abgedeckt und mit den Verschlusslaschen ll mittels Klettverschlüssen verschlossen. Diese Art von Verschluss erlaubt die stufenlose Verstellbarkeit für verschiedene Risthöhen und gewährleistet daher für die allermeisten Füsse, selbst geschwollene, einen vorzüglichen Passitz.Figure 1 shows such a shoe, in which the heel strap 8 is also also fastened with snaps. Therefore, such a shoe model can be used as an open as well as a half-open shoe. In order for the shoe to be optimally adaptable to as many foot shapes as possible, it has an entry opening that is cut particularly far to the front of the shoe. This is covered by a long flap 10 and closed with the fastening flaps 11 using Velcro fasteners. This type of closure allows the stepless adjustability for different instep heights and therefore ensures an excellent fit for most feet, even swollen ones.

In Figur 2 ist die Einlagesohle in einer Ansicht von unten dargestellt. Wichtig ist hier die Anordnung der Druckknopfteile, welche erfindungsgemäss auf die vier Hauptpunkte l2,l3,l4 und l5 der Fussreflexzonen verteilt sind. Dadurch wird die Wirkung der magnetischen Metalleinlagen auf der jeweils gegenüberliegenden Seite noch verstärkt und andererseits gewinnt die Einlagesohle durch diese Verteilung der Befestigungspunkte einen guten Halt. Da die Einlagesohle aus Gummi gefertigt ist, lässt sich zu deren Entfernung leicht mit dem Finger unter die Sohle fahren und die Druckknopfverbindungen lösen. Die weite Oeffnung im Obermaterial gewährleistet zudem eine gute Zugänglichkeit an den Druckknopf l5 im Zehenbereich. Den hier aufgeführten vier Massagepunkten werden folgende Stimulationswirkungen zugeschrieben: Punkt l2 ist dem Hormonhaushalt und der Vitalität zugeteilt, Punkt l3 der Wirbelsäule, Punkt l4 den inneren Organen wie Bauchspeicheldrüse, Magen, Darm, Leber, Nieren usw. und schliesslich dem Punkt l5 der Kopf, insbesondere Augen und Gehör.In Figure 2, the insole is shown in a view from below. What is important here is the arrangement of the push-button parts which, according to the invention, are distributed over the four main points l2, l3, l4 and l5 of the foot reflex zones. This increases the effect of the magnetic metal inserts on the opposite side, and on the other hand the insole gains a good hold due to this distribution of the fastening points. Since the insole is made of rubber, you can easily remove it with your finger under the Drive the sole and loosen the push button connections. The wide opening in the upper also ensures good access to the push button l5 in the toe area. The following stimulation effects are attributed to the four massage points listed here: point l2 is assigned to the hormonal balance and vitality, point l3 to the spine, point l4 to the internal organs such as the pancreas, stomach, intestine, liver, kidneys etc. and finally point l5 to the head, especially eyes and hearing.

In der Figur 3 ist anhand eines Querschnittes durch einen Druckknopf seine Anordnung gezeigt. Der eine Druckknopfteil 5 ist an der Unterseite der Einlagesohle l befestigt. Dies kann zum Beispiel durch kaschieren oder schweissen erfolgen. Deutlich sind hier auch die Noppen 2 und die magnetische Metalleinlage 3 erkennbar. Das Gegenstück 6 zum Druckknopfteil 5 ist in der Sohle 7 des Schuhwerkes eingelassen, damit die Einlagesohle l auch an diesen Befestigungspunkten eben auf der Sohle 7 aufliegt. Die Druckknöpfe können aus beliebigem geeigneten Material wie Metall oder Kunststoff gefertigt sein. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der Erfindung gegenüber bisher bekannten einschlägigen Schuhen besteht in der Kombinationsmöglichkeit von anerkannt durch die Fussreflexzonen stimulierend wirkende Einlagesohlen mit einem praktischen und gefälligen Schuhoberteil, ohne dabei Abstriche bei der Pflegeleichtigkeit hinnehmen zu müssen. Im Gegenteil, es gelangt nur noch der Teil in die Waschmaschine, der es wirklich nötig hat.In FIG. 3, its arrangement is shown on the basis of a cross section through a push button. One push button part 5 is attached to the underside of the insole l. This can be done, for example, by lamination or welding. The knobs 2 and the magnetic metal insert 3 are also clearly visible here. The counterpart 6 to the push-button part 5 is embedded in the sole 7 of the footwear, so that the insert sole 1 also lies on the sole 7 at these fastening points. The push buttons can be made of any suitable material such as metal or plastic. A major advantage of the invention over previously known relevant shoes is that Possibility of combining insoles that have a stimulating effect due to the foot reflex zones with a practical and pleasing upper part of the shoe, without having to sacrifice ease of care. On the contrary, only the part that really needs it gets into the washing machine.
