Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shoe insole made of synthetic or natural materials, preferably made of non-porous latex and other materials for the top and bottom.
  • hypothermia of the foot can now be harmful to health: due to the liquid film that has existed for a long time, the tissue of the epidermis is so attacked that it is particularly susceptible to mycoses. On the other hand, it is also so weakened that eczema can develop, allergies are observed less frequently. It is therefore not surprising that, according to current estimates, the majority of all residents of our latitudes suffer from some kind of foot dermatosis, i.e. an infectious foot disease. This is strongly encouraged by the fact that it is easy to get infected in indoor pools, changing rooms of outdoor pools, saunas and sports venues of all kinds, despite the fact that there are usually disinfection showers for the feet, since the importance of organizing leisure time through sports has increased significantly.
  • the object of the invention described below is therefore a shoe insole that not only enables a perfect water vapor exchange combined with appropriate heat insulation, but also guarantees better blood circulation in the sole of the foot, massages and irritates at certain acupuncture points or in the known reflex zones and meridians the overlying tissue shapes and supports the foot.
  • the load-bearing frame of the shoe insole hereinafter referred to as the insole, comprises a 5 mm high frame made of a suitable material, for example of 3-6 mm latex or a similar material. It is sufficient, but also stiff enough to provide effective support for the various foot shapes thanks to its anatomically shaped surface. The material can absorb a pressure of approx. 1.5 - 3.5 N / mm without being irreversibly deformed.
  • the load-bearing webs of the scaffold which can be arranged in a wide variety of ways, are used for the even derivation of dynamic and static pressures that are in the This order of magnitude and for an inventive special purpose, which will be described below.
  • knobs at their crossing points. These elevations massage the entire bottom of the foot.
  • the above-mentioned webs of the insole which virtually represent a framework, form a cavity within the sole with one another and with the edge of the insole, which can have different volumes and the most varied shapes.
  • the cavities that are delimited by the webs can delimit large areas of the insole, but also small ones that correspond to so-called reflex zones of the sole of the foot or that combine several such reflex zones.
  • the main zones of this insole are mainly in the heel, instep and toe areas in the form of webs from z. B. pore-free latex, which converge at one point so that they form a punctiform or rib-shaped elevation. At these points, comparable to the acupuncture points and / or meridians, a special irritation and massage are inevitably exerted on the foot tissue above.
  • the top and bottom of the insole are each air-permeable by fibers made of natural materials, these can be fleece, fabric, or knitted fabric z. B. from sisal or coconut fibers. If desired and applicable, the underside and the top of the shoe sole can also be covered from a material made of synthetic fibers or from a material which contains synthetic and natural fibers as a mixture.
  • the bottom layer of this insole can also be a perforated or closed metal foil or contain one, so that it controls the desired convection currents in the foot space delimited by the shoe.
  • the metal foil can be equipped with a wide variety of metal particles, for example with germanium or other analog semiconductor particles, and / or can form a total of their alloys or compounds.
  • the top layer of the insole is a natural material.
  • This natural fabric can also be in the form of natural fibers such as wool, cotton or a suitable piece of fur.
  • virgin wool that has not yet been degreased has an important capacity for absorbing condensation, which can be up to a quarter of the weight of the virgin wool used.
  • the cavities or chambers of the framework of the insole which are formed by the intersecting and connected webs, for example made of latex, and which are covered on the top and bottom as described above, are filled with physiologically relevant specialties which can now act on the organism in a selectable manner.
  • medicinally effective specialties are now in powder, granule, leaf, tablet, etc. form. so filled into the chambers described above that they are available over a long period of time in the small climate of footwear which is favorable for this type of application and are therefore applicable. Since there is little free air volume in the footwear and this is filled to a finite amount with a suitably tempered water vapor, the effectiveness of the specialties is guaranteed, which have a finite vapor pressure and can react both lipophilic and hydrophilic. This does not only apply to fragrances such as Musk or for organic substances that have a relatively high vapor pressure, such as. B. camphor, wintergreen oil, eucalyptus, but with medicinal teas, that is, for medicinal plant parts, but also for trace elements, which can be mixed with the teas or medicinal plant parts such as leaves. Chemical, relevant compounds can also be included.
  • Spray-dried products are advantageous according to the invention because high concentrations can be accommodated in the limited spaces or chambers.
  • a spray-dried tea extract is therefore a cheap form of application.
  • the chambers of the sole can, for example, be filled with the following specialties in a suitable form, such as dried plant particles in, for example, pressed form or in the form of spray-dried extract: Tea made from: gentian root, bitter orange peel, centaury, wormwood, cinnamon or from valerian roots, caraway seeds, peppermint leaves, chamomile flowers or from fennel, chamomile flowers, peppermint leaves, senna leaves.
  • a suitable form such as dried plant particles in, for example, pressed form or in the form of spray-dried extract: Tea made from: gentian root, bitter orange peel, centaury, wormwood, cinnamon or from valerian roots, caraway seeds, peppermint leaves, chamomile flowers or from fennel, chamomile flowers, peppermint leaves, senna leaves.
  • teas listed above are only examples of active ingredients which, individually or in a mixture with other active ingredients, can be broken, pressed or selected as spray-dried extract or spray-dried material in the cavities of the insole described above, that is, taking into account those mentioned above Reaction zones attached to the sole of the foot and, due to the special type and arrangement of the insole, act on the human body.
  • the invention has been described in the above description in its application to an insole that can be worn in normal and everyday footwear. However, the invention is just as effective, even more effective if it has the shape and arrangement of a shoe sole on a slipper like the one worn in the house, clinics, saunas or spa centers.
  • the insole would meet the criteria of the above invention, would only be of a larger volume, and would be made of a material that would suit this application.
  • a slipper made of woven or knitted or fur-like upper material the sole of which is provided with an inner frame, the chambers or cavities are large, however, and the material of the insole does not have to be necessary durability as in a street shoe.
  • the use of such a shoe, which could be called a slipper or spa shoe, would have the advantage that it could be combined with treatment measures.
  • the invention is more effective because there is no need to wear the stockings.
  • spa guests with limited activities spend their stay in a spa center or in a sanatorium, in which slippers are mainly worn because one spends a long time indoors.
  • the shoe can also have the shape of a so-called “slipper” or a “slipper”.
  • reference numeral 1 denotes the insole, which consists of a frame with webs 2 and edge 3, which are connected to one another and form chambers 4, which are filled with the most physiologically effective specialties in the form of plant parts or extracts.
  • the edge 5 is the connecting edge between the cover 6 of the top and the cover 7 of the bottom.
  • the edge 5 can of course also be omitted in that the edge 3 is laid further outwards or the edge 5, which can be referred to as the quilted edge, can be glued upwards from the outside against the edge 3.
  • the cover 6 above and below 7 is made of the materials mentioned in the description.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further possibility of producing and designing an insole according to the invention.
  • webs 2 are available in a wide variety of lengths and arrangements, which now form chambers 4 'in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, so it can be seen that there are larger chambers in the toe area of the sole than in the middle area and in the heel area at 8.
  • the arrangement of these walls must be adapted to the intended use of the insole.
  • large and small chambers can be combined and particularly strong webs as shown at 2 'and thin webs as at reference number 2.
  • nub-like or rib-like elevations can be made, as indicated at 10 and 11. These elevations serve the mechanical impact on the sole of the foot.
  • the material 6 for the upper side and that for the lower side 7 is fastened to the frame of the sole, which is formed by the partition walls of the chambers in connection with the outer edge 12, for example by gluing or welding.
  • the upper cover 6 can be a fur-like natural material in FIG. 4.
  • the framework of the insole can consist of a suitable latex, which ensures both the required strength and the stability of the sole in itself.
  • 5 are known reflex zones which can be influenced by the design of the insole according to the invention.
