Definitions

  • the invention relates to a footbed according to the preamble of claim 1 (see for example document WO-A-86/05663). It relates to a footbed of the individual movement space shoe in the form of a separate footbed insert or a footbed part connected to a shoe, which is made from a resilient to hard rubber-elastic material and has a generally smooth surface adapted to the sole of the foot and which ensures blood circulation around the foot , especially in the toes, to allow general and specific metabolic processes with their interaction mechanisms. Due to the individual body weight, the individual body statics, this footbed gives the impression of the individual footprint of the user and retains it in order to locate the positive effect on general and specific metabolic processes as individually as possible (see FIG. 7 of DE-A-39 02 207). The invention is based on the phylogenetic-energetic preparation and continuation of the topic "walking" of a cultural-historical nature.
  • Footbeds of shoes are generally, like the footbed of the type mentioned, provided with a smooth surface which is more or less well adapted to the shape of a human foot sole. They serve to support the foot as evenly as possible over the entire surface of the footbed, but at the same time to give the foot a certain guidance and thus a supportive hold.
  • a footbed insert made of a resilient material can take part in the rolling process of the foot with every step, dampen or absorb the tread energy, convert or reduce excess kinetic energy into another form of energy. So it can use the still existing potential of kinetic energy, distribute kinetic energy specifically over the foot so that it can be used again specifically for the next step preparation.
  • the supporting parts of the sole of the foot are supported.
  • footbeds made of stiff material do not make this possible, for at least the heel of one foot lifts off with each step and then comes back into contact with the footbed.
  • the sole of the foot is in constant contact with the footbed the more adapted it is.
  • shoe is understood to mean footwear in its most general form, for example street shoes, sneakers, boots, sandals, slippers, gymnastic shoes, etc.
  • the footbed is normally in one piece for a shoe and extends from the heel to the toes, but it is it is also possible to divide the footbed into two or more sections, one of which, for example, supports the heel, another the area of the toes, etc.
  • the footbed can be exchangeable or firmly connected to the shoe.
  • footbeds of the type mentioned at the outset which have projections on their surface at selected areas. These are assigned to vital points on the sole of a foot.
  • a footbed of the type mentioned is known, in which the generally smooth surface has at least one trough-like recess that is recessed in relation to the (undisturbed) surface and is softly rounded along its entire edge the surface opens and has a base a few millimeters lower than the undisturbed surface. A nub protrudes from this base, the free tip of which lies essentially in the course of the (undisturbed) surface.
  • a (small area) area of the sole of a person remains unsupported by the footbed.
  • the recess is designed so that due to its soft rounded edge, a gradual transition from support to non-support takes place, which prevents or avoids a build-up of kinetic energy, kinetic energy and so it can be used for targeted power development, power development, strength maintenance.
  • a specific predetermined point or a small area of the sole of the foot is influenced in terms of pressure by the knobs, here stimulation or positive motivation of metabolic processes takes place via main nerve massage.
  • the area of the sole of the foot supported by the knobs receives essentially constant pressure when standing, which leads to continuous natural changes in posture. He receives repeated stimulation when walking or running.
  • the local warming occurs only after a certain time after putting on the shoe, which is equipped with a footbed of the type mentioned at the beginning.
  • the targeted motivation of specific areas of the soles of the feet ensures movement energy due to the desired resolution of energy blockages / energy congestion, the restoration and maintenance of the energy flow of kinetic energy.
  • the user feels a gradual transition from an initially normal temperature to local warming.
  • the local warming can basically occur through contact of the foot with the footbed, for example when standing, but it can also only occur when walking, running or the like attack.
  • the local warming can be demonstrated by increasing the temperature of the sole of the foot in the area of the sole in question.
  • WO-A-86/05663 discloses a boot footbed that can be heated by means of a catalytically transformable gas. However, it does not teach cooling; in particular, it also has no knob-like projection within a footbed recess in which the control element for temperature regulation could be accommodated.
  • a footbed of a shoe which in the form of a separate footbed insert or a footbed part connected to a shoe, which is made of a resilient to hard rubber-elastic material and a generally smooth surface adapted to the sole of the foot and which has a storage container for a cooling (cold) generating substance, this storage container being connected via a line to an outlet which opens onto the surface of the footbed and that a valve is provided in this line to which a control member is assigned that the invention is characterized in that the control member opens the valve when a predetermined threshold value of the temperature is exceeded and that the control member is arranged on the surface of the footbed so that it comes into contact with the sole of a foot and that the footbed is at least ens has a trough-like, local recess that is recessed in relation to the (undisturbed) surface, which empties into the surface in a rounded manner and has a base a few millimeters deeper than the
  • the mouth of the line can be arranged in the immediate vicinity of the control element, but also at a distance from it.
  • the point at which the temperature of the sole of the foot is detected by means of the control member of the valve is closely related to the point of the footbed which is above the mouth and is actively cooled when the valve opens briefly.
  • the invention is based on the generally known idea that an organ can be assigned to each part of the sole of a person's foot. This makes use of the foot zone reflex massage, for example.
  • the aim is to dissolve energy blockages and to achieve the best possible organ circulation through optimal processing or stimuli and information and thus to promote an unimpeded flow of life energy, kinetic energy and kinetic energy.
  • a combination of the cooling arrangement according to the invention with the teaching of DE-A-39 02 207 by the applicant has proven to be very advantageous.
  • the content of the disclosure of this patent application is part of the disclosure of the present application.
  • the individual footbed has a local depression in which a pimple protrudes.
  • the control element for the valve in the top of this projection.
  • the mouth of the line, from which cold-generating substance can flow out, is advantageously provided in the depression and thus in the vicinity of the knob, but it can also be arranged at another location on the footbed, for example at another depression.
  • the storage container for the substance is preferably located in the sole itself and, if it is empty, can be replaced together with it.
  • the storage container has transparent, flexible walls, for example it is made from degradable (environmentally friendly) clear plastic film.
  • the substance itself is colored or stained.
  • the storage container is at least partially visible, preferably it is embedded in the underside of the footbed. In this way it can be determined at any time whether the storage container is still filled or whether it is empty. If the storage container is empty, the footbed (in the form of an insole) or at least the cooling device is replaced.
  • the substance that is responsible for producing the cold consists of one or two components.
  • a chemically largely neutral compound is chosen that has a low boiling point, for example difluorodichloromethane or difluorochloromethane.
  • the two components are fed to the valve under pressure and brought together in the valve. About the common The remainder of the line then flows towards the mouth.
  • Cold is obtained here by a chemical reaction between the two components and / or by heat of vaporization.
  • the pressure can be generated by the substance or component itself, by a propellant and / or by loading the storage container by the weight of the user.
  • the line between the storage container and the mouth is chosen so narrow or the passage through the valve is dimensioned so small that each time the valve is opened, which takes place only over a short period of time, only a small amount, but sufficient for cooling Substance can leak from the mouth.
  • the storage container, line and valve are permanently sealed so that no leaks can occur during normal operation. It is not intended to be able to refill or replace the storage container separately.
  • valve As a metering or portioning valve.
  • a metered amount of the substance (or mixture of substances) is dispensed.
  • Valves that are constructed, for example, in the manner of a vane pump, a gear pump, etc., are suitable for this. This ensures that the valve normally blocks towards the outlet so that the substance cannot evaporate or react chemically as long as the valve is closed. Only when the valve is opened is a predetermined amount of the substance released to the outlet.
  • footbed acc. Fig. 1 is shown completely transparent in order to better represent and recognize the cooling device embedded in the footbed and to be discussed in more detail below.
  • footbeds are not made from transparent material, but from leather, rubber, a non-transparent plastic or the like.
  • the structure of a footbed is known per se and is not fundamentally changed by the present invention. For a description of the footbed, reference is made, for example, to DE-A-39 02 207, already mentioned at the beginning.
  • a storage container 20 is embedded in the heel region. As can be seen from FIG. 1, it has an essentially pillow shape with almost square dimensions, which are approximately 45 by 45 mm.
  • the storage container 20 is made of flexible plastic film, which forms a closed, sealed container by bending and welding.
  • the storage container 20 is filled with a substance that has a high heat of vaporization and / or reacts endothermically when exiting with a second substance from a further storage container (see FIG. 3) or from the environment (air, sweat).
  • the storage container 20 is so permanently incorporated in the footbed (FIG. 1) or interchangeable with the complete cooling device (FIG. 2) that at least part of its downward-facing surface remains visible.
  • the substance has a color or is stained.
  • the footbed is made of an elastic material and / or the reservoir 20 protrudes downward from the bottom surface of the footbed, pressure is applied to the reservoir 20 when the footbed is used.
  • This pressure can occur constantly, namely when standing, but it can also occur periodically, for example when walking or running. This ensures that the substance in the reservoir 20 is under pressure, and only when the footbed is actually in use.
  • the reservoir 20 is constantly under pressure, for example under the pressure of the substance or an additional propellant.
  • the footbed can also be made largely rigid and it is not necessary for the storage container 20 to protrude downward from the lower surface of the footbed.
  • a valve 24 is inserted into line 22. This valve 24 is actuated by a control member 26.
  • the control member 26 is essentially a heat sensor. Above a predetermined temperature threshold value, for example 38 ° C., this heat sensor mechanically (preferably) or in some other way, for example electrically, issues a control command to the valve 24, which then carries out an opening and closing stroke and thereby allows a predetermined amount of the substance to pass .
  • control element 26 is configured similarly to the control elements of radiator thermostatic valves.
  • the control member 26 in this case consists of a small expansion tank that over a (flexible) pipe is connected to the valve 24.
  • the liquid column acts directly on the valve 24. If the temperature of the liquid in the expansion vessel now reaches a predetermined threshold value, this is associated with an expansion which leads to the valve 24 being actuated.
  • the valve 24 is designed as a portioning valve. It is operated by the control member 26 for a short period of time.
  • the valve has, for example, a tappet, which is guided in a sleeve in a sealed manner.
  • the plunger has a radial recess. In the closed position, the plunger is drawn to the line on the reservoir side such that the recess protrudes from the sleeve and is surrounded by the supply of substance. Due to the sealed guides of the tappet inside the sleeve, the substance cannot pass through the valve.
  • the tappet moves through the sleeve until the recess reaches the other end of the sleeve, then the amount of substance in it can flow out or react. After a certain period of time, which depends on how long the substance needs to flow out of the recess or to evaporate, the plunger is withdrawn again. This allows the recess to fill again with substance, which is then released again during a further dispensing process.
  • the valve has an impeller with a few chambers that are rotated sequentially from an inlet to an outlet, or a gear.
  • the valve 24 is actuated by the pressure of the substance in the storage container 20. It is triggered by the control element 26. In another embodiment, the energy is also supplied by the control element 26 in order to actuate the valve, for example in the embodiment of the control element 26 described above with a liquid.
  • the control member 26 is arranged in the region of the surface 28 of the footbed so that the foot of a user comes into contact with the control member 26. Thereby, the control member 26 can detect the temperature of the sole of a user's foot at a predetermined point.
  • the control member 26 is arranged in the region of the free tip of a knob 30, which projects centrally in one of the local recesses 32 that spring back against the undisturbed surface of the footbed.
  • the tip of the knob 30 lies essentially in the course of the undisturbed surface of the footbed.
  • the material of the footbed has low thermal heat conduction, for example it is made of electrically insulating material. In this way, a rapid temperature compensation within the footbed is counteracted; rather, the control element 26 locally detects the temperature of a specific area of the sole of a user's foot.
  • an orifice 34 is arranged in the surface of the footbed and directed upwards, towards the foot of a user.
  • a small depression is provided in the surface of the footbed in the region of the mouth in order to enlarge the outlet of the line in the form of a funnel in the region of the mouth.
  • the mouth 34 is formed in the tip of a knob 30, which is surrounded by a recess 32 in the sense discussed above, or in the recess 32 itself.
  • Fig. 2 shows the cooling device described.
  • the storage container 20 has flexible walls and is completely flat in the emptied state, so it then has no internal volume.
  • the line 22, which is provided on both sides of the valve 24, has any length and is permanently connected to the valve 24 or reservoir 20, for example by welding or gluing.
  • the valve 24 is made as small as possible.
  • the entire insole is normally thrown away and replaced with a new one.
  • you can also provide the cooling device according to. 2 can be separated from the insole, for example by pressing into an undercut, elastically limited recess in the lower surface of the insole. Then it is not necessary to replace the body of the footbed.
  • FIG. 3 finally shows an arrangement with two storage containers 20, 21. They are each connected to a valve 24 via a line belonging to them. This is carried out in such a way that the substances in the two storage containers 20, 21 only come into contact with one another downstream of the valve 24.
  • the valve has two sleeves and two tappets of the type described above. Downstream of the valve 24, the two substances in the two storage containers 20, 21 react with one another and form a mixture with high heat of vaporization and / or endothermic property.
