Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elastische Fußunterlage zum Einlegen oder zum Einbau in Schuhe in Form einer aus gewölbtem federndem Flachmaterial, vorzugsweise Stahlblech, bestehenden Stützplate, welche im vorderen Bereich einen elastisch-flexiblen Stützkörper trägt, mit dem sie sich auf der Schuhsohle abstützt.The invention relates to an elastic foot pad for inserting or installing in shoes in the form of a support plate made of arched resilient flat material, preferably sheet steel, which carries an elastic-flexible support body in the front area with which it is supported on the shoe sole.

Solche elastische Fußunterlagen haben den Zweck, einen Teil des Fußknochengerüstes, wie den Mittelfuß und/oder den Vorfuß federnd abzustützen, um auf diese Weise eine Entlastung zu erreichen, Veränderungen des Knochengerüstes zu verhindern und damit das Gehen insgesamt angenehmer zu machen. Der erstrebte Zweck wird aber mit solchen Fußunterlagen nur dann erreicht, wenn sie, und zwar insbes. der zur Verwendung kommende Stützkörper, dem Schuh jeweils angepaßt werden. Das hat zur Voraussetzung, daß der Stützkörper - der auch Pelotte genannt wird - auch von einem Laien leicht an der Stützplatte angebracht bzw. in dieser ausgetauscht werden kann.Such elastic foot pads have the purpose of resiliently supporting part of the foot bone structure, such as the metatarsus and / or the forefoot, in order to achieve relief, to prevent changes in the bone structure and thus to make walking more pleasant overall. The desired purpose is only achieved with such foot pads if they, in particular the support body to be used, are respectively adapted to the shoe. The prerequisite for this is that the support body - which is also called the pad - can easily be attached to the support plate or exchanged by a layperson.

Mit einer Fußunterlage nach dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster G 85 17 462.9 ist dies möglich. Bei der aus dieser Veröffentlichung bekannten Einlegesohle ist der Stützkörper mit ringförmigen Halterungen auswechselbar auf mindestens zwei mit einem Kugelkopf versehenen Stiften aufgesteckt bzw. befestigt, wobei die beiden auf der Unterseite der Stützplatte vorstehenden Stifte mit dieser punktverschweißt sind.This is possible with a foot pad according to the German utility model G 85 17 462.9. In the insole known from this publication, the support body with ring-shaped holders is interchangeably attached or fastened to at least two pins provided with a spherical head, the two pins projecting on the underside of the support plate being spot-welded to the latter.

Bei der Erfindung wird von dieser bekannten Fußunterlage in Form einer aus gewölbtem, federndem Flachmaterial bestehenden Stützplatte ausgegangen, welche in ihrem vorderen Bereich mit einem elastisch-flexiblen Stützkörper mit mindestens zwei wulstförmigen Ansätzen auf seiner Unterseite versehen ist. Der Erfindung liegt die zusätzliche Aufgabe zugrunde, Stützplatte und darauf befestigten Stützkörper so auszubilden, daß dadurch eine Massagewirkung von dieser Fußunterlage auf den Fuß des Trägers ausgeübt wird.In the invention, this known foot pad is assumed in the form of a support plate made of arched, resilient flat material, which is provided in its front area with an elastic-flexible support body with at least two bead-shaped projections on its underside. The invention is based on the additional object of designing the support plate and the support body fastened thereon in such a way that a massage effect is exerted on the foot of the wearer by this foot pad.

Zu diesem Zweck weist die Stützplatte gemäß der Erfindung in ihrem vorderen Bereich eine etwa symmetrisch zu ihrer Längsachse verlaufende Aussparung oder einen entsprechenden Einschnitt auf und ferner ist der Stützkörper an der Stützplatte in solcher Weise befestigt, daß Teile von ihm während der Belastung der Stützplatte durch den Fuß des Trägers durch die Aussparung oder den Einschnitt hindurchtreten und damit eine Massagewirkung auf den Fuß ausüben.For this purpose, the support plate according to the invention has in its front region an approximately symmetrical to its longitudinal axis recess or a corresponding incision and further the support body is attached to the support plate in such a way that parts of it during loading of the support plate by the Push the wearer's foot through the recess or incision and thus have a massage effect on the foot.

Durch die rhythmische Schrittbewegung bzw. die wechselseitige Belastung der Stützplatte kommt eine Hubbewegung dieser Stützplatte zustande, welche ihrerseits einen Druck auf die flexiblen Backen bzw. die wulstförmigen Ansätze des Stützkörpers ausüben. Durch den Einschnitt oder die Aussparung der Stützplatte hindurch wird Kissenmasse nach oben verdrängt und damit eine Massage des Vorfußes bewirkt.The rhythmic step movement or the mutual loading of the support plate results in a lifting movement of this support plate, which in turn exerts pressure on the flexible jaws or on the bead-shaped projections of the support body. Pillow mass is displaced upwards through the incision or the recess in the support plate, thus causing a massage of the forefoot.

Der Stützkörper wird zweckmäßig als eine auf den vorderen Bereich der Stützplatte aufsteckbare flache Tasche ausgebildet, was darüber hinaus den Vorteil aufweist, daß seine leichte Auswechslung auch durch den Laien möglich ist, so daß jeweils der Stützkörper mit den optimalen Maßen auf die Stützplatte aufgesteckt werden kann.The support body is expediently designed as a flat pocket which can be plugged onto the front area of the support plate, which also has the advantage that its easy replacement by the layperson is also possible, so that the support body with the optimal dimensions can be attached to the support plate .

Gegenüber der Anordnung nach dem Gebrauchsmuster G 85 17 462.9 ergibt sich der weitere Vorteil, daß die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung wesentlich einfacher ist, weil auf der Stützplatte keinerlei Befestigungsmittel angebracht werden müssen.Compared to the arrangement according to utility model G 85 17 462.9, there is the further advantage that the arrangement according to the invention is considerably simpler because no fastening means have to be attached to the support plate.

Eine aus Stützplatte und Pelotte bestehende orthopädische Fußstütze, deren Stützplatte mit einem gabelförmigen Einschnitt im vorderen Bereich versehen ist, ist aus DE-PS 896 921 bekannt. Bei dieser Anordnung ist jedoch die Pelotte mit Nieten an der Stutzplatte befestigt, sie bildet mit ihr eine mechanische Einheit. Eine Massagewirkung ist mit dieser Fußstütze nicht erreichbar und auch nicht beabsichtigt.An orthopedic footrest consisting of a support plate and pad, the support plate of which is provided with a fork-shaped incision in the front area, is known from DE-PS 896 921. In this arrangement, however, the pad is fastened to the support plate with rivets and forms a mechanical unit with it. A massage effect cannot be achieved with this footrest and is also not intended.

Desgleichen ist die mit der Erfindung erstrebte Wirkung auch nicht durch eine Schuheinlage gemäß der schweiz. Patentschrift 123 413 erreichbar, da das auf das Vorderteil der Stützplatte aufgesetzte taschenförmige Schutzstück lediglich dem Kantenschutz dient. Eine Wechselwirkung zwischen der Stützplatte und diesem Schutzstück tritt bei der bekannten Anordnung nicht auf.Likewise, the effect sought with the invention is not through a shoe insert according to Switzerland. Patent document 123 413 can be reached, since the pocket-shaped protective piece placed on the front part of the support plate only serves to protect the edges. An interaction between the support plate and this protective piece does not occur in the known arrangement.

In einer optimalen Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist der Einschnitt der Stützplatte etwa die Form eines gleichschenkeligen Dreiecks auf, wobei die aufeinander zulaufenden Schenkelenden eine annähernd kreisförmige Abrundung bilden. Zwecks besseren Halts kann der Einschnitt der Stützplatte rastenförmige Erweiterungen aufweisen, welche mit Vorsprüngen in der Aufstecktasche des Stützkörpers korrespondieren.In an optimal embodiment of the invention, the incision of the support plate has approximately the shape of an isosceles triangle, the tapering leg ends forming an approximately circular rounding. For a better hold, the incision of the support plate can have catch-shaped extensions which correspond to projections in the slip pocket of the support body.

Es ist ferner zu empfehlen, die Tasche des Stützkörpers in Sohlenlängsrichtung zwecks Bildung von getrennten Aufnahmen für die beiden Schenkel des Einschnitts zu unterteilen. Diese Anordnung weist den weiteren Vorteil auf, daß eine seitliche Verschiebung oder Kippung des Stützkörpers nicht möglich ist; er behält vielmehr seine vorgeschriebene Lage für immer bei.It is also recommended to subdivide the pocket of the support body in the longitudinal direction of the sole in order to form separate receptacles for the two legs of the incision. This arrangement has the further advantage that a lateral displacement or tilting of the support body is not possible; rather, it maintains its prescribed position forever.

Sofern die Stützplatte in ihrem vorderen Bereich lediglich eine Aussparung aufweist, kann der Stützkörper hinsichtlich seiner Befestigung in der Stützplatte nach Art eines durch die Aussparung hindurchgreifenden Doppelknopfes ausgebildet sein. Zu seiner Befestigung an der Stützplatte wird dann lediglich ein ebenfalls aus elastischem Material bestehender Lappen oder ein Ringflansch durch die Aussparung von unten hindurchgezogen. Der Stützkörper ist damit in elastischer Weise mit der Stützplatte verbunden und Teile dieses Stützkörpers drücken sich bei Belastung durch die Aussparung hindurch und wirken auf den Fuß des Trägers massierend ein.If the support plate has only one recess in its front area, the support body can be designed in the manner of a double button extending through the recess with regard to its attachment in the support plate. To attach it to the support plate, only a flap, which is also made of elastic material, or an annular flange is then pulled through the recess from below. The support body is thus connected in an elastic manner to the support plate and parts of this support body push through the recess under load and have a massaging effect on the foot of the wearer.

Die Stützplatte selbst wird zweckmäßig aus Stahlblech mit einer Stärke zwischen 0,7 und 1,8 mm, vorzugsweise von 0,8 bis 0,9 mm Stärke hergestellt. Sie kann jedoch auch aus einem anderen elastischen Flachmaterial, beispielsweise aus Plexiglas bestehen.The support plate itself is advantageously made of sheet steel with a thickness between 0.7 and 1.8 mm, preferably 0.8 to 0.9 mm. However, it can also consist of one other elastic flat material, for example made of plexiglass.

Der Stützkörper selbst wird vorzugsweise als geschäumter Profilkörper hergestellt, dessen mit dem Fuß in Berührung kommende Oberfläche gleitfähig ausgebildet sein kann. Diese Gleitfähigkeit kann beispielsweise dadurch hergestellt werden, daß die Oberfläche mit einem geeigneten Überzug, z.B. aus Teflon versehen wird.The support body itself is preferably produced as a foamed profile body, the surface of which comes into contact with the foot can be designed to be slidable. This lubricity can be achieved, for example, by coating the surface with a suitable coating, e.g. is made of Teflon.

Um den Stützkörper widerstandsfähiger gegen eine Abnutzung zu machen, empfiehlt es sich, ihn im Bereich der Aussparung oder des Einschnittes der Stützplatte zu verstärken.In order to make the support body more resistant to wear, it is advisable to reinforce it in the area of the recess or the cut of the support plate.

  • Fig. 2 die gleiche Fußunterlage von unten gesehen,
  • Fig. 3 die Fußunterlage gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 in Seitenansicht,
  • Fig. 4 eine weitere Ausführungsform einer elastischen Fußunterlage in Aufsicht.
Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. Show it:
  • 1 is an embodiment of the elastic foot pad in supervision,
  • 2 seen the same foot pad from below,
  • 3 the foot pad according to FIGS. 1 and 2 in side view,
  • Fig. 4 shows another embodiment of an elastic foot pad in supervision.

Die Stützplatte der dargestellten elastischen Fußunterlage ist mit 1, der Stützkörper (Pelotte) mit 2 bezeichnet.The support plate of the elastic foot pad shown is designated 1, the support body (pad) with 2.

Wie sich aus der Darstellung nach Fig. 3 ergibt, ist die aus einem federnden Stahlblech hergestellte Stützplatte 1 sowohl in ihrer Längs- als auch in ihrer Querrichtung gewölbt. Dies ist in Fig. 3 durch die Teile 6, 7 und 8 angedeutet. In der Ausführung nach Fig. 1 bis 3 ist die Stützplatte 1 im vorderen Bereich mit einem Einschnitt 3 versehen, der annähernd die Form eines gleichschenkligen Dreiecks aufweist, wobei die aufeinander zulaufenden Schenkelenden 10, 11 eine kreisförmige Abrundung bilden. Der Stützkörper 2 ist taschenförmig ausgebildet; er wird auf den vorderen Bereich der Stützplatte 1 aufgeschoben und rastet mit in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Nasen in die Erweiterungen 14 und 15 der Schenkel 11 und 10 ein. Die Tasche ist durch eine Trenn-Naht 13 zweigeteilt, was einen besseren Sitz auf den Schenkeln 10 und 11 der Stützplatte 1 bewirkt. Der horizontale Schlitz 9 weist eine solche Breite auf, daß eine echte Klemmwirkung des Stützkörpers 2 auf der Stützplatte 1 zustande kommt.3, the support plate 1 made of a resilient steel sheet is arched both in its longitudinal and in its transverse direction. This is indicated in Fig. 3 by the parts 6, 7 and 8. 1 to 3, the support plate 1 is provided in the front area with an incision 3 which has approximately the shape of an isosceles triangle, the tapered leg ends 10, 11 forming a circular rounding. The support body 2 is pocket-shaped; it is pushed onto the front area of the support plate 1 and snaps into the extensions 14 and 15 of the legs 11 and 10 with noses not shown in the drawing. The pocket is divided into two by a separating seam 13, which results in a better fit on the legs 10 and 11 of the support plate 1. The horizontal slot 9 has such a width that a real clamping effect of the support body 2 on the support plate 1 is achieved.

Die gewünschte Massagewirkung der elastischen Fußunterlage kommt dadurch zustande, daß beim Gehvorgang und damit beim Durchdrücken der Stützplatte 1 die an der Unterseite des Stützkörpers 2 vorhandenen elastischen Kissen 4 und 5 in den Einschnitt 3 der Stützplatte 1 eingepreßt werden und damit einen Druck auf den Vorfuß ausüben. Dieser Druck verändert sich laufend während der Bewegungsvorgänge, womit die Massagewirkung erklärt ist.The desired massage effect of the elastic foot pad comes from the fact that when walking and thus when pressing the support plate 1, the elastic cushions 4 and 5 present on the underside of the support body 2 are pressed into the incision 3 in the support plate 1 and thus exert pressure on the forefoot . This pressure changes continuously during the movement processes, which explains the massage effect.

Eine Verbesserung dieser Wirkung kann gegebenenfalls durch eine kreisförmige Erweiterung 12 des Einschnittes 3 erzielt werden, die jedoch lediglich in Fig. 2 gezeichnet ist.This effect can optionally be improved by a circular widening 12 of the incision 3, which is, however, only shown in FIG. 2.

In Fig. 4 ist eine andere Ausführungsform der Erfindung dargestellt, in der die Stützplatte 1 lediglich eine in sich geschlossene Aussparung 16 aufweist. Der Stützkörper 2 unterscheidet sich von der Ausführung nach Fig. 1 bis 3 lediglich in der Art seiner Befestigung in der Stützplatte 1. Sie erfolgt nach dem prinzip eines Doppelknopfes, dessen Teil 17 durch die Aussparung 16 selbstklemmend durchgesteckt ist.Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 4, in which the support plate 1 has only one self-contained recess 16. The support body 2 differs from the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3 only in the manner of its attachment in the support plate 1. It takes place according to the principle of a double button, the part 17 of which is pushed through the recess 16 in a self-locking manner.

Die Stützplatte 1 besteht bei den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen aus einem Stahlblech mit einer Stärke von 0,8 mm. Der Stützkörper 2 ist als vorzugsweise geschäumter Profilkörper ausgebildet. Sofern die Fußunterlage fest in einen Schuh eingebaut wird, kann die aus Stahlblech oder Plexiglas gefertigte Stützplatte durchbrochen ausgebildet sein.The support plate 1 consists in the illustrated embodiments of a steel sheet with a thickness of 0.8 mm. The support body 2 is designed as a preferably foamed profile body. If the foot pad is firmly installed in a shoe, the support plate made of sheet steel or plexiglass can be perforated.

Anhand der Fig. 1 wurde erläutert, daß die Tasche des Stützkörpers 2 durch die eingezeichneten Nähte 13 zweigeteilt ist, sodaß zwei seitliche Taschenabschnitte entstehen, welche die Schenkel 10 und 11 der Stützplatte aufnehmen. Damit Stützkörper verschiedener Größe auch auf Stützplatten verschiedener Breite aufsteckbar sind, empfiehlt es sich, die Taschenabschnitte des Stützkörpers 2 so auszubilden, daß der Stützkörper selbst seitlich hinreichend große Öffnungen aufweist.It was explained with reference to FIG. 1 that the pocket of the support body 2 is divided in two by the seams 13, so that two side pocket sections are formed which accommodate the legs 10 and 11 of the support plate. So that support bodies of different sizes can also be plugged onto support plates of different widths, it is advisable to design the pocket sections of the support body 2 in such a way that the support body itself has sufficiently large openings on the sides.
