Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schuh mit auf der Brand- oder Fußbettsohle fixierbaren Druckelementen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a shoe with pressure elements which can be fixed on the insole of the insole or footbed according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Aus der DE-C-526175 sind aufklebbare Ausgleichstücke für die plastischen Brandsohlen von Schuhen bekannt. Hierbei handelt es sich um Ausgleichstücke die die Fußsohle des Schuhträgers an frei wählbaren Stellen anheben und dadurch unterstützen sollen. die Ausgleichstücke werden zu diesem Zweck innerhalb des Schuhs an die gewünschte Stelle gebracht und dort eingeklebt.DE-C-526175 glue-on compensating pieces for the plastic insoles of shoes are known. These are leveling pieces that are intended to raise the sole of the shoe wearer's feet at freely selectable locations and thereby support them. For this purpose, the compensation pieces are brought to the desired location within the shoe and glued in there.

Nachteilig bei der bekannten Konstruktion ist, daß die einmal afugeklebten Ausgleichstücke in ihrer Lage unveränderbar sind. Des weiteren ist eine Einwirkung auf die Unterseite der Fußsohle in Form einer akupressorischen Massage nicht vorgesehen; Ziel ist es vielmehr, das Knochengerüst des Fußes in gewünschter Weise bzw. an vorbestimmter Stelle anzuheben und zu unterstützen.A disadvantage of the known construction is that the once glued-on compensating pieces are unchangeable in their position. Furthermore, an action on the underside of the sole of the foot in the form of an acupressive massage is not provided; The aim is rather to raise and support the bone structure of the foot in the desired manner or at a predetermined point.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Schuh der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit dem eine individuell veränderbare Einwirkung auf die Fußreflexzonen und damit eine Fußreflexzonentherapie möglich ist.The object of the present invention is to create a shoe of the type mentioned at the outset, with which an individually variable action on the foot reflex zones and thus foot reflex zone therapy is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion ist eine individuelle Beeinflussung der an der Fußsohle endenden Nerven möglich. Über den Tag kann der Benutzer die akupressorisch wirksamen Elemente umgruppieren, teilweise oder ganz entfernen, durch andersartig gestaltete Elemente ganz oder teilweise ersetzen und somit eine individuell angepaßte Therapie entweder nach eigenem Gutdünken oder nach ärztlicher Anweisung befolgen. Dabei ist zu bedenken, daß eine zu lange Einwirkung der akupressorisch wirksamen Elemente schädlich sein kann, mitunter sogar zu Schmerzen führt. In der Regel wird eine akupressorische Einwirkung von maximal 15 bis 20 min geraten. Mit der Erfindung ist also eine schmerzfreie und gezielte Fußreflexzonen-Therapie möglich.The construction according to the invention enables the nerves ending at the sole of the foot to be influenced individually. During the day, the user can regroup, partially or completely remove the acupressor-effective elements, replace them in whole or in part with elements of a different design and thus follow an individually adapted therapy either at his own discretion or according to medical instructions. It should be borne in mind that excessive exposure to the acupressor-active elements can be harmful and sometimes even leads to pain. As a rule, an acupressor effect of a maximum of 15 to 20 minutes is advised. Painless and targeted foot reflexology therapy is therefore possible with the invention.

Die Unteransprüche betreffen vorteilhafte konstruktive Ausführungsformen der Erfindung.The subclaims relate to advantageous constructive embodiments of the invention.

Nachstehend werden Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung anhand der beigefügten Zeiuchnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Schuh in Draufsicht;
  • Fig. 2 den Schuh nach Fig. 1 im Schnitt längs der Linie 11-11 in Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 und 4 verschiedene Ausführungsformen von akupressorisch wirksamen Elementen in Seitenansicht.
Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with the aid of the attached drawing. Show it:
  • 1 is a top view of a shoe designed according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 shows the shoe of Figure 1 in section along the line 11-11 in Fig. 1.
  • 3 and 4 different embodiments of acupressor active elements in side view.

Der in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte Schuh ist als Sandale 10 ausgebildet, vorzugsweise als Holzsandale mit einem Riemen 11, der den Fuß in der Sandale 10 fixiert. Im Fußbett 12 der Sandale 10 sind nach einem kartesischen Raster 13, bestehend aus parallelen Linien L1 und diese schneidenden Linien L2 Aufnahmeöffnungen (Löcher 14) angeordnet. Die Aufnahmeöffnungen (Löcher 14) können ebenso gut die Form von Schlitzen, Einschnitten oder dgl. haben. Die Löcher 14 sind jeweils im Schnittpunkt der Linien L1 und L2 angeordnet, wodurch ihr Abstand durch den Abstand der Linien L1 und L2, nämlich das Rastermaß X vorgegeben ist. Das in Fig. 1 gezeigte Raster 13 weist für die Linien L1 die gleichen Abstände auf wie für die Linien L2. Es sind jedoch auch unterschiedliche Abstände möglich, so daß dann auch zwei Rastermaße, nämlich eines für die Linien L1 und ein zweites für die Linien L2, angegeben werden müßte. Ebenso ist es möglich, die Aufnahmeöffnungen nach einem Raster entsprechend dem Polarkoordinatensystem einzuordnen oder entsprechend dem Verlauf der natürlichen Fußrelexzonen. Die Anordnung von Löchern 14 nach dem vorgegebenen Raster 13 gestattet es, Empfehlungen bezüglich des Ortes der Anbringung von akupressorisch wirksamen Elementen 15 an vorgegebenen und markierten Rasterpunkten 16 auszusprechen. Die Löcher 12 entsprechen in ihrer Tiefe im wesentlichen der Eindringtiefe der akupressorisch wirksamen Elemente 15. Aus diesem Grunde ist es von Vorteil, einen Schuh (Sandale 10) zu verwenden, dessen Brand- oder Fußbettsohle dicker ist als üblicherweise vorgesehen. Die Verwendung in Schuhen mit dünnen Brand- oder Fußbettsohlen ist auch möglich, die akupressorisch wirksamen Elemente 15 müssen dann entsprechend kürzer bezüglich der Eindringtiefe ausgebildet sein.The shoe shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is designed as a sandal 10, preferably as a wooden sandal with a strap 11, which fixes the foot in the sandal 10. In the footbed 12 of the sandal 10, receiving openings (holes 14) are arranged according to a Cartesian grid 13 consisting of parallel lines L1 and these intersecting lines L2. The receiving openings (holes 14) may also have the form of slots, incisions or the like. The holes 14 are each arranged at the intersection of the lines L1 and L2, so that their distance is predetermined by the distance of the lines L1 and L2, namely the grid dimension X. The grid 13 shown in FIG. 1 has the same distances for the lines L1 as for the lines L2. However, different distances are also possible, so that two grid dimensions, namely one for the lines L1 and a second for the lines L2, would then also have to be specified. It is also possible to arrange the receiving openings according to a grid according to the polar coordinate system or according to the course of the natural foot relex zones. The arrangement of holes 14 according to the predetermined grid 13 makes it possible to make recommendations with regard to the location of the attachment of acupressive elements 15 at predetermined and marked grid points 16. The depth of the holes 12 essentially corresponds to the depth of penetration of the acupressor-active elements 15. For this reason, it is advantageous to use a shoe (sandal 10) whose insole is thicker than that usually provided. The use in shoes with thin insoles or footbeds is also possible, the acupressive elements 15 must then be made correspondingly shorter with respect to the depth of penetration.

Gemäß den Fig. 3 und 4 sind die akupressorische wirksamen Elemente pilzförmig mit einem Kopf 17 und einem Hals 18 ausgebildet. Der Kopf 17 ist kegelförmig, stiftartigf, nadelartig, teller-oder plättchenartig, oder ballig- bzw. kuppenartig ausgebildet und verfügt über eine glatte, aufgerauhte oder geriffelte Oberfläche 19. Die Größe des Kopfes 17 ist so bemessen, daß zwei benachbarte Rasterpunkte 16 abgedeckt werden können, ohne daß die Köpfe 17 sich berühren. Wie in Fig. 1 und 3 zu sehen, ist es auch möglich, die Köpfe 17 in ihrer Breite so zu bemessen, daß zwei Rasterpunkte 16 abgedeckt werden. Elemente 15 mit entsprechend breiteren Köpfen 17 sind mit der Bezugsziffer 20 versehen. Die breiten Köpfe 20 werden in diesem Fal von jeweils zwei Hälsen 18 getragen. Ist der Kopf 17 ringartig, insbesondere kreisringartig, ellipsenringartig, herzringartig oder dgl. ausgebildet (vgl. Fig. 5), so ist er generell mit mindestens zwei Hälsen 18 versehen. Dadurch wird ein Verdrehen des Kopfes 18 auf dem Fußbett 12 vermieden und eine exakte räumliche Lage der Köpfe 17 gewährleistet. Die Oberfläche 21 des Halses 18 ist vorzugsweise aufgerauht oder geriffelt ausgebildet, um einen besseren Halt der Elemente 15 in den Löchern 14 zu gewährleisten. Bei Ausbildung des Elementes 15 mit einer glatten Oberfläche 21 ist der Hals 18 vorzugsweise mit einer Einschnürung 22 versehen. In Verbindung mit einem entsprechend geformten Loch 14 (nicht gezeichnet) ist eine formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen dem Element 15 mit Einschnürung 22 und dem Fußbett 12 gegeben. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist der Hals 18 aus einem nachgiebigen Material gefertigt.3 and 4, the acupressor active elements are mushroom-shaped with a head 17 and a neck 18. The head 17 is conical, pen-like, needle-like, plate-like or plate-like, or spherical or dome-like and has a smooth, roughened or corrugated surface 19. The size of the head 17 is dimensioned such that two adjacent grid points 16 are covered can without the heads 17 touching. As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 3, it is also possible to dimension the heads 17 in their width so that two grid points 16 are covered. Elements 15 with correspondingly wider heads 17 are provided with the reference number 20. The wide heads 20 are carried in this case by two necks 18 each. If the head 17 is ring-shaped, in particular circular, elliptical, heart-shaped or the like (see FIG. 5), it is generally provided with at least two necks 18. This prevents the head 18 from rotating on the footbed 12 and ensures an exact spatial position of the heads 17. The surface 21 of the neck 18 is preferably roughened or corrugated in order to ensure a better hold of the elements 15 in the holes 14. When the element 15 is formed with a smooth surface 21, the neck 18 is preferably provided with a constriction 22. In conjunction with one accordingly formed hole 14 (not shown) is a positive connection between the element 15 with constriction 22 and the footbed 12. In this embodiment, the neck 18 is made from a resilient material.

In einer anderen bevorzugten Ausführungsform (vgl. Fig. 3) ist der Hals 18 mit einem Schlitz 23 versehen. Die beiden den Schlitz 23 umgebenden Enden 24 und 24 müssen beim Einsetzen des Elementes 15 in ein Loch 14 leicht zusammengedrückt werden und verhindern entsprechend durch ihren Gegendruck ein Herausrutschen des Elementes 15 aus dem Loch 14. Zur Erzielung der gleichen Wirkung kann der Hals 18 auch mit mehr als einem Schlitz versehen sein, z.B. in Form von mehreren parallelen oder gekreuzten Schlitzen. Ebenso kann die Oberfläche 21 des Halses 18 besonders aufgerauht oder geriffelt ausgebildet sein.In another preferred embodiment (see FIG. 3) the neck 18 is provided with a slot 23. The two ends 24 and 24 surrounding the slot 23 must be slightly compressed when inserting the element 15 into a hole 14 and accordingly prevent the element 15 from slipping out of the hole 14 due to their counterpressure. To achieve the same effect, the neck 18 can also be used be provided with more than one slot, e.g. in the form of several parallel or crossed slots. Likewise, the surface 21 of the neck 18 can be particularly roughened or corrugated.

Der Kopf 17 ist mit seinem Umfangsrand 26 vorzugsweise etwas nach unten bzw. zum Fußbett 12 hin gewölbt, so daß keine scharfen Kanten nach dem Einsetzen des Elementes 15 in das Loch 14 freiliegen, die beim Gehen zu Verletzungen führen könnten.The head 17 is preferably curved slightly downwards with its peripheral edge 26 or towards the footbed 12, so that no sharp edges are exposed after the insertion of the element 15 into the hole 14, which could lead to injuries when walking.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 4 ist das akupressorisch wirksame Element 15 an der Oberfläche 19 des Kopfes 17 metallisiert ausgebildet, vorzugsweise mit einer dünnen Kupferschicht 27 versehen. Der in allen Ausführungsformen vorzugsweise kugelkalottenförmige Kopf 17 kann auch aus weichem elastisch deformierbaren Kunststoff, vorzugsweise Schaumstoff, gefertigt sein.In the embodiment according to FIG. 4, the acupressor-effective element 15 is metallized on the surface 19 of the head 17, preferably provided with a thin copper layer 27. The preferably spherical cap head 17 in all embodiments can also be made of soft, elastically deformable plastic, preferably foam.

Der Hals 18 ist in einer geschlitzten Ausführung gemäß Fig. 3 vorzugsweise aus einem harten, federenden Material, wie z.B. Kunststoff, Metall oder ähnlichem. In einer Ausführungsform mit einschnürung 23 ist der hals 18 aus einem nachgiebigen Material gefertigt, um das Einsetzen des akupressorisch wirksamen Elementes 15 in das entsprechend geformte Loch 17 zu ermöglichen.3, the neck 18 is preferably made of a hard, resilient material, such as e.g. Plastic, metal or the like. In an embodiment with constriction 23, the neck 18 is made of a resilient material in order to enable the insertion of the acupressor-effective element 15 into the correspondingly shaped hole 17.

Sämtliche in den Unterlagen offenbarte Merkmale werden als erfindungswesentlich beansprucht, soweit sie einzeln oder in Kombination gegenüber dem Stand der Technik neu sind.All of the features disclosed in the documents are claimed as essential to the invention insofar as they are new compared to the prior art, individually or in combination.
