Definitions

  • the invention relates to an insole for a shoe with a flat base sole made of elastic foam material corresponding to the outline of the shoe, which has on its upper side a plurality of integrally molded, pillow-shaped elevations also made of elastic foam in the area of reflex zones of the sole of the foot.
  • the insole makes it possible, depending on the arrangement of its elevations, to stimulate nerves emanating from these reflex zones while walking, which stimulates the blood circulation and the metabolism of the organs assigned to the individual reflex zones.
  • the known insole comprises a base sole made of elastic foam material with a hardness of 30 to 50 ° Shore A, the upper side of which has a plurality of pillow-shaped elevations, also made of elastic foam in the area of the reflex zones of the foot sole to be massaged.
  • the pillow-shaped elevations consist of a comparatively soft material with a hardness of 12 to 30 ° Shore A, since it has been shown that the desired effect of the reflex zone massage requires a gentle stimulation of the reflex zones.
  • the known insole it has already been thought of integrally molding the pillow-shaped elevations on the base sole, but this requires comparatively complex and complicated manufacturing processes, so that in practice the elevations have to be produced separately from the base sole and subsequently glued to it.
  • the comparatively soft elevations in the known insole must also be protected by a harder insole if the insole is to have a sufficient lifespan.
  • an insole with an insole made of elastic foam which carries integrally on its upper side and made of the same foam material elevations like a footbed.
  • the cover sole is approximately 6.35 mm thick between the elevations, while it has a total height of approximately 9.5 mm in the region of the elevations.
  • Such an insole is unsuitable for an optimal reflex zone massage, since the entire foot sinks into the comparatively thick base sole, which prevents targeted irritation of certain reflex zones of the sole of the foot.
  • the base sole and the elevations consist uniformly of foam material with a hardness of 30 ° to 45 ° Shore A and the apex areas of the elevations are one or two times the average thickness of the areas adjoining the individual elevation Apply the base sole over the upper side of the base sole.
  • the insoles according to the invention can be produced very easily by conventional manufacturing processes for foam bodies.
  • the mean thickness of the areas of the base sole adjoining the individual elevations is to be understood as the arithmetic mean of the thickness along the edge of the elevation. The thickness can fluctuate, for example when the upper side of the base sole has a trough shape like a footbed.
  • the insole can be designed as an insole or can be firmly glued to the insole or the outsole of the shoe. It goes without saying that the upper side of the insole can be provided with an insole which improves the appearance or the wearing properties of the shoe.
  • Optimal results of the reflex zone massage are achieved when the apex areas of the elevations protrude over the upper side of the base sole by about 1.5 times the average thickness of the areas of the base sole adjoining the individual elevations. It has also proven to be favorable for uniform massage results if the total height of the base sole, including the elevations in the apex areas of all elevations, is essentially the same size.
  • the elevations can have an approximate lens shape.
  • a better coordination of the peak height of the elevations to the size of the reflex zones to be stimulated can be achieved if at least some of the elevations have a circular outline shape and an apex area designed as a flat plateau which widens towards the base in an approximately frustoconical shape.
  • the apex plateau provides a widened contact area of the sole of the foot on the elevation without creating more or less point-like contact points that could lead to pressure points.
  • a large number of reflex zones can be delimited on the sole of the human foot, each of which is assigned to different organs and stimulates the respectively assigned organs when the reflex zones are massaged.
  • the stimulation can take place by massage of individual reflex zones or by massage in suitably selected reflex zone groups in order to increase their overall stimulation effect.
  • the insole of a shoe shown in the figures allows the targeted massage of a group of generally well-being reflex zones.
  • the insole comprises a base sole 1 approximated to the outline shape of the foot or the shoe, from the upper side 3 of which pillow-shaped elevations 5, which are assigned to the reflex zones to be massaged, protrude.
  • the elevations 5 allow a gentle massage of the reflex zones assigned to them, free of pressure points.
  • the base sole 1 and the elevations 5 integrally formed on the base sole 1 consist uniformly of rubber-elastic foam material with a hardness of 30 ° to 45 ° shore A.
  • the thickness of the base sole 1 is about 1.5 mm to 2 along the circumference of the elevations 5 , 5 mm, while the elevations 5 protrude about 1.5 times the average thickness, measured along the outer edge of the individual elevation 5, over the base sole 1.
  • the total height of the base sole 1, including the elevations 5, is in the apex regions 7 all surveys essentially the same size. At least some of the elevations have a circular outline, the apex region 7 of these elevations being designed as a flat, in particular flat plateau to enlarge the support surface, which widens towards the base sole 1 in the form of a flat truncated cone 9.
  • the elevations can also have a different shape, as is illustrated by the elongate elevation arranged in the arch area and extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the foot. This survey is used, for example, to stimulate the pancreas.
  • the base sole 1 has a slightly rising edge 11 along its outline and thus has the character of a light footbed.
  • the upper side can be worn by a thin insole which improves the appearance or the wearing properties of the shoe.
  • the insole can be designed as an insole that can be inserted into the shoe, or else it can be glued flat onto the outsole or the insole of the shoe.
  • the insole is preferably made of synthetic latex.
