Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einlegesohle gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an insole according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine solche Einlegesohle ist aus der DE-U-90 01 492 bekannt.Such an insole is known from DE-U-90 01 492.

Aus der US-PS 4 047 310 ist eine Sandale mit orthopädisch geformter biegesteifer Sohle bekannt, auf deren Oberseite eine relativ dicke weichelastische Schicht aus Gummi oder einem Kunststoff aufgeklebt ist. In dieser oberen Schicht sind eine Vielzahl von in Reihen gleichmäßig über die gesamte Sohlenfläche verteilt angeordneten Zapfen dauerhaft fest eingebettet, deren obere abgerundete Enden aus dieser Schicht herausragen und eine massierende Wirkung auf die Fußsohle bzw. auf bestimmte Sohlenbereiche ausüben. Die Zapfen bestehen aus einem harten Kunststoffmaterial und stützen sich über einen konisch verbreiterten Fuß auf der biegesteifen Laufsohle ab.From US-PS 4 047 310 a sandal with an orthopedically shaped rigid sole is known, on the top of which a relatively thick soft elastic layer of rubber or a plastic is glued. In this upper layer, a large number of pins, which are arranged in rows uniformly distributed over the entire sole surface, are permanently firmly embedded, the upper rounded ends of which protrude from this layer and have a massaging effect on the sole of the foot or on certain areas of the sole. The pins are made of a hard plastic material and are supported by a conically widened foot on the rigid outsole.

Bei einer anderen bekannten Sandale werden zur Erzielung von akupressorischen Wirkungen eine Vielzahl von Druckelementen von oben in Ausnehmungen eingedrückt, die in einem vorgegebenen Raster in der gesamten Fläche der Brand- oder Fußbettsohle ausgebildet sind. Die noppenartigen Druckelemente haben einen zylindrischen oder lokal verdickten Schaft und einen verbreiterten flachen Kopf mit abgerundeter Oberfläche. Die punktuell akupressorisch wirksamen Druckelemente können eine individuelle Beeinflussung der an der Fußsohle endenden Nerven bewirken und/oder entsprechend der Aufteilung der Fußsohle in Reflexzonen angeordnet werden. Ein grundsätzlicher Nachteil dieser bekannten Schuhausführungen liegt darin, daß die akupressorische Wirkung an den bestimmten Schuh gebunden ist und sich der erwünschte Stimulationseffekt nach etwa zwei Stunden Tragezeit vermindert, was einen ggf. mehrmaligen Schuhwechsel am Tag erfordert. Darüber hinaus sind die auswechselbaren Druckelemente bei modischen Schuhen, insbesondere Damenschuhen, mit dünnen Laufsohlen wegen der unzureichenden Verankerungsmöglichkeit ihrer Schäfte nicht einsetzbar.In another known sandal, in order to achieve acupressor effects, a large number of pressure elements are pressed into recesses from above, which are formed in a predetermined pattern in the entire surface of the insole or insole. The knob-like pressure elements have a cylindrical or locally thickened shaft and an enlarged flat head with a rounded surface. The pressure elements that act acupressor-specific can have an individual influence on the nerves ending at the sole of the foot and / or can be arranged according to the division of the sole of the foot into reflex zones. A fundamental disadvantage of these known shoe designs is that the acupressor effect is bound to the particular shoe and the desired stimulation effect is reduced after about two hours of wearing, which may require several shoe changes a day. In addition, the interchangeable print elements are fashionable Shoes, especially women's shoes, with thin outsoles cannot be used due to the inadequate anchoring of their shafts.

Schließlich ist in der DE-OS 35 20 956 eine Reflex-Einlegesohle beschrieben, bei der eine Vielzahl von Stiften in gleichmäßiger Verteilung und größeren Abständen in der Sohle angeordnet sind, die über die Sohlenoberseite zum Reizen bestimmter Reflexpunkte an der Fußsohle des Benutzers vorstehen. Die Einlegesohle besteht aus einer unteren Schicht aus einem druckelastisch verformbaren Material und aus einer oberen Gewebeschicht, in der eine Vielzahl von Durchtrittsöffnungen für die starren Stifte aus z. B. Holz ausgebildet sind. Die Holzstifte haben einen scheibenförmig erweiterten Fuß, mit dem sie sich auf der elastischen Schicht abstützen und unter Druckbelastung in diese einsinken. Die beiden flexiblen Schichten sind lediglich an ihrem Außenrand durch eine Naht miteinander verbunden, so daß durch Relativverschiebungen der beiden Schichten aufgrund von Abrollbewegungen des Trägerfußes beim Gehen die starren Holzstifte verkippen können, was zu schmerzhaften Druckstellen führt.Finally, a reflex insole is described in DE-OS 35 20 956, in which a plurality of pins are arranged in the sole in a uniform distribution and at greater distances, which protrude beyond the top of the sole to stimulate certain reflex points on the sole of the foot of the user. The insole consists of a lower layer made of a pressure-elastic deformable material and an upper fabric layer in which a plurality of openings for the rigid pins made of z. B. wood are formed. The wooden pencils have a disc-shaped, extended foot, with which they are supported on the elastic layer and sink into it under pressure. The two flexible layers are only connected to one another at their outer edge by a seam, so that the rigid wooden pins can tilt due to relative displacements of the two layers due to rolling movements of the support foot when walking, which leads to painful pressure points.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einlegesohle der genannten Art derart zu verbessern, daß ein leichtes Anbringen bzw. Auswechseln der Noppen in den gewünschten Zonen über einen langen Zeitraum sichergestellt ist, und daß die Funktionsfähigkeit der Einlegesohle mit Noppen ebenfalls über einen langen Zeitraum sichergestellt ist.The present invention is therefore based on the object of improving an insole of the type mentioned in such a way that easy attachment or replacement of the knobs in the desired zones is ensured over a long period of time, and that the functionality of the insole with knobs also over a long period Period is ensured.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Dadurch daß der verbreitete Fuß der Noppen in einer entsprechenden Ausnehmung in der unteren Schicht eingepaßt ist, und daß die Noppen einen verbreiterten Kopf mit abgerundeter Oberweite haben, dessen Durchmesser geringfügig größer als der Lochdurchmesser ist, und der sich mit seinem Rand auf der flexiblen Deckschicht abstützt, ist es möglich, daß das Einsetzen bzw. Herausnehmen der Noppen leicht und schnell vorgenommen werden kann und daß ein sicheres Anbringen der Noppen über einen sehr langen Zeitraum sichergestellt ist.Characterized in that the widened foot of the knobs is fitted in a corresponding recess in the lower layer, and that the knobs have a widened head with a rounded bust, the diameter of which is slightly larger than the hole diameter, and the edge of which is supported on the flexible cover layer , it is possible that the insertion or removal of the knobs can be carried out easily and quickly and that a secure attachment of the knobs is ensured over a very long period of time.

Die gruppenweise Anordnung der Noppen mit relativ geringen Zwischenabständen bewirkt eine Stimulation der ausgewählten Organe durch die Einwirkung der gesamten Noppengruppe auf die entsprechenden Zonen der Fußsohle. Die vorzugsweise aus glattem Feinleder bestehende ebene Deckschicht erlaubt Gleitbewegungen des Trägerfußes beim Gehen in den von Noppen freien Oberflächenbereichen, durch die die stimulierenden Effekte der Noppenbereiche unterstützt werden. Erfindungsgemäß können die Noppen unverlierbar und lösbar in der unteren weichelastischen Schicht fixiert sein und entsprechend positionierte Löcher in der oberen Lederschicht im Klemmsitz durchragen. Diese Ausbildung der Einlegesohle bietet dem Träger die Möglichkeit, die Noppen nur in solchen - auf der Unterseite der Einlegesohle vorgezeichnete bzw. markierte - Reflexzonen anzuordnen, deren zugehörige Organe stimuliert werden sollen. Durch zeitweises Umstecken oder Herausnehmen der Noppen können die jeweils optimalen Tragezeiten eingehalten und Überreaktionen ebenso wie Abstumpfungseffekte vermieden werden. Ferner ermöglicht die Erfindung die gezielte Stimulanz eines und auch mehrerer Organe gleichzeitig oder in zeitlicher Folge unter Verwendung nur einer einzigen Einlegesohle. Aufgrund der geringen Dicke und der Flexibilität kann die erfindungsgemäße Einlegesohle universell in verschiedenartigen Schuhtypen, wie normale Straßenschuhe, modische ggf. hochhackige Damenschuhe sowie in Arbeits- und Sportschuhe, eingesetzt werden.The arrangement of the knobs in groups with relatively small spacing effects stimulation of the selected organs by the action of the entire group of knobs on the corresponding zones of the sole of the foot. The flat top layer, which is preferably made of smooth fine leather, permits sliding movements of the support foot when walking in the surface areas free of nubs, which support the stimulating effects of the nub areas. According to the invention, the knobs can be fixed captively and detachably in the lower, soft-elastic layer and project appropriately positioned holes in the upper leather layer in the press fit. This design of the insole offers the wearer the option of arranging the knobs only in those reflex zones, which are marked or marked on the underside of the insole and whose associated organs are to be stimulated. By temporarily repositioning or removing the knobs, the optimal wearing times can be observed and overreactions as well as blunting effects can be avoided. Furthermore, the invention enables the targeted stimulation of one or more organs simultaneously or in chronological order using only a single insole. Because of the small thickness and the flexibility, the insole according to the invention can be used universally in different types of shoes, such as normal street shoes, fashionable, possibly high-heeled women's shoes, as well as in work and sports shoes.

Um bei solchen lösbar in der Einlegesohle angeordneten Noppen einen sicheren Sitz der Noppen in den beiden Sohlenschichten zu gewährleisten, weisen die Noppen einen vorzugsweise scheibenförmig verbreiterten Fuß auf, der im eingesetzten Zustand genau in eine entsprechend geformte Ausnehmung an der Unterseite der unteren Schicht hineinpaßt, wobei die Außenseite des Fußes mit der Außenseite der unteren Schicht bündig verläuft. Die manuell lösbare Halterung bzw. Fixierung der Noppen in der Einlegesohle kann noch durch zusätzliche Mittel verbessert werden, beispielsweise durch Haftmittel oder durch Ausbildung eines verbreiterten Noppenkopfes, der durch vermehrte Druckanwendung von unten durch die geringfügig engeren Löcher in der oberen Lederschicht hindurchgedrückt wird.In order to ensure a secure fit of the knobs in the two sole layers with such knobs arranged releasably in the insole, the knobs have a preferably disk-shaped widened foot which, when inserted, fits exactly into a correspondingly shaped recess on the underside of the lower layer, whereby the outside of the foot is flush with the outside of the lower layer. The manually releasable mounting or fixing of the knobs in the insole can be improved by additional means, for example by means of adhesive or by forming a widened knob head, which is pressed through the slightly narrower holes in the upper leather layer from below through increased application of pressure.

Um eine gezielte Auswahl bestimmter Reflexzonen beim Ein- oder Umstecken der Noppen zu erleichtern, sind die den einzelnen Organen zugehörigen Reflexzonen z. B. durch eingeprägte oder erhabene Umrandungen, Schraffuren od. dgl. besonders markiert und ggf. durch Symbole gekennzeichnet.In order to facilitate a targeted selection of certain reflex zones when inserting or repositioning the knobs, the reflex zones associated with the individual organs are e.g. B. by embossed or raised borders, hatching or the like. Particularly marked and possibly marked by symbols.

Weitere zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Einlegesohle sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Further expedient refinements and developments of the insole according to the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Preferred embodiments of the invention are described in detail below. Show it:

an enlarged section of the insole.

Die dargestellte Einlegesohle besteht aus einer oberen Lederschicht 1 und einer unteren Schicht 2 aus einem weichelastischen atoxischen Material, wie insbesondere Kautschuk, Gummi oder einem relativ weichen Kunststoff. Die Materialien beider Schichten sollen keine Substanzen enthalten, die bei empfindlichen Trägern unerwünschte Reaktionen, beispielsweie Allergien, verursachen oder auslösen könnten. In der oberen Lederschicht 1 sind eine Vielzahl von Löchern 3 mit einem vorbestimmten Durchmesser von z. B. 1,5 bis 3,0 mm in einem bestimmten Muster eingestanzt. In der unteren weichelastischen Schicht 2 sind eine den Löchern 3 entsprechende Anzahl an vorzugsweise kreisförmigen Ausnehmungen 4 achszentriert zu jedem Loch 3 ausgebildet, die sich bis zur Lederschicht 1 erstrecken oder - wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt - kurz vor dieser enden können. In einer beliebigen Anzahl dieser Löcher 3 und Ausnehmungen 4 können Noppen 5 aus einem atoxischen elastisch verformbaren Material fixiert werden, die einen verbreiterten Fuß 6, einen zylindrischen Schaft 7 und einen abgerundeten Kopf 8 aufweisen (vgl. Fig. 3). Die Form des Fußes 6 ist genau an diejenige der Ausnehmungen 4 angepaßt und der Durchmesser des Schaftes 7 ist gleich oder geringfügig größer als der Durchmesser der Löcher 3. Durch diese Formgebung kann jeder Noppen 5 durch einen Fingerdruck von unten in eine Ausnehmung 4 eingedrückt werden, wobei sein Schaft 7 das jeweilige Loch 3 im Preßsitz durchragt und sein Kopf 8 einen vorbestimmten Betrag über die Sohlenoberfläche hinausragt.The insole shown consists of an upper leather layer 1 and a lower layer 2 made of a soft, elastic, non-toxic material, such as in particular rubber, rubber or a relatively soft plastic. The materials of both layers should not contain any substances that could cause or trigger undesired reactions, for example allergies, in sensitive carriers. In the upper leather layer 1, a plurality of holes 3 with a predetermined diameter of z. B. 1.5 to 3.0 mm punched in a certain pattern. In the lower soft elastic layer 2, a number of preferably circular recesses 4, corresponding to the holes 3, are formed axially centered for each hole 3, which extend as far as the leather layer 1 or - as shown in FIG. 3 - can end shortly before this. In any number of these holes 3 and recesses 4, knobs 5 made of an atoxic, elastically deformable material can be fixed, which have a widened foot 6, a cylindrical shaft 7 and a rounded head 8 (see FIG. 3). The shape of the foot 6 is adapted exactly to that of the recesses 4 and the diameter of the shaft 7 is the same or slightly larger than the diameter of the holes 3. By means of this shape, each knob 5 can be pressed into a recess 4 from below by a finger pressure, its shaft 7 projecting through the respective hole 3 in the press fit and being Head 8 protrudes a predetermined amount above the sole surface.

Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, ist die Sohlenunterseite durch eingeprägte oder erhabene Linienzüge 9 in eine Vielzahl von verschiedenen Bereichen unterteilt, die den bekannten Reflexzonen auf der Fußsohle des Trägers gegenüberliegen. Die einzelnen Reflexzonen-Bereiche können z. B. durch Nummern, Buchstaben oder andere Symbole gekennzeichnet sein, und auf einer freien Fläche der Sohlenober- oder -unterseite können die jeweils zugehörigen Körperorgane bezeichnet sein.As can be seen from FIG. 2, the underside of the sole is divided into a plurality of different areas by embossed or raised lines 9, which lie opposite the known reflex zones on the sole of the wearer's foot. The individual reflex zone areas can e.g. B. be identified by numbers, letters or other symbols, and the respective associated body organs can be designated on a free surface of the top or bottom of the sole.

Aus den Fig. 1 und 2 läßt sich entnehmen, daß nur in bestimmten - vom Träger frei wählbaren - Reflexzonenbereichen durchgehend schwarz dargestellte Noppen 5 angeordnet sind, so daß nur die diesen Bereichen zugeordneten Organe bei der Gehbewegung stimuliert werden. Da sich gezeigt hat, daß die Reflexzonenmassage der Fußsohlen durch Noppen oder Zapfen bestimmte Zeitspannen nicht überschreiten sollte, um Überreizungen und auch Abstumpfungen zu vermeiden, können die Noppen 5 der erfindungsgemäßen Einlegesohlen nach einer vorbestimmten Tragezeit von etwa 1 bis 3 Stunden vom Träger aus der Sohle herausgezogen und ggf. umgesteckt werden, um andere Organe zu stimulieren.From FIGS. 1 and 2 it can be seen that only in certain - freely selectable - reflex zone areas are arranged in black nubs 5, so that only the organs assigned to these areas are stimulated during the walking movement. Since it has been shown that the reflex zone massage of the soles of the feet by knobs or pegs should not exceed certain periods of time in order to avoid over-irritation and also dulling, the knobs 5 of the insoles according to the invention can be removed from the sole after a predetermined wearing time of about 1 to 3 hours pulled out and repositioned if necessary to stimulate other organs.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. So können die Noppen auch fest mit der unteren Sohlenschicht verbunden sein. Ferner können die Füße mehrerer Noppen miteinander verbunden sein und ein flächiges Gebilde darstellen, das in eine entsprechend geformte Ausnehmung in der unteren Schicht hineinpaßt. Bei Nichtbenutzung dieser Noppen kann die Ausnehmung durch einen entsprechend geformten Gummillappen ausgefüllt sein, um Durchtritte zu vermeiden. Obwohl die Einlegesohle vorzugsweise gleiche Dicke haben sollte, können zur Erzielung einer orthopädischen Stützfunktion bestimmte Bereiche, z. B. im Spann, auch verdickt ausgebildet oder durch eine formsteife gewölbte Unterlage versteift sein. Ferner können auch weitere Mittel zur verbesserten Fixierung der Noppen in ihren Aufnahmen vorgesehen sein. Zu diesen Mitteln gehört beispielsweise eine geringfügig verdickte Ausbildung des Noppen-Kopfes (wie in Fig. 3 gestrichelt dargestellt), der ein Hindurchdrücken durch das Loch 3 gerade noch zuläßt und an seinem unteren Ende einen Ringflansch zur Abstützung auf der Lederdeckschicht 1 bildet.The invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiment shown. The knobs can also be firmly connected to the lower layer of the sole. Furthermore, the feet of several knobs can be connected to one another and represent a flat structure that fits into a correspondingly shaped recess in the lower layer. If these knobs are not used, the recess can be filled with a suitably shaped rubber flap to prevent penetration. Although the insole should preferably have the same thickness, certain areas, e.g. B. in the instep, also thickened or stiffened by a rigid arched base. Furthermore, further means for improved fixation of the knobs in their receptacles can also be provided. These means include, for example, a slightly thickened design of the knob head (as shown in dashed lines in FIG. 3), which just allows it to be pushed through the hole 3 and forms an annular flange at its lower end for support on the leather cover layer 1.

Wesentlich bei den erfindungsgemäßen Einlegesohlen mit unlösbar oder lösbar an der unteren Sohlenschicht befestigten Noppen ist, daß nicht - wie beim Stand der Technik - einzelne Noppen eine in etwa punktförmige intensive Massagewirkung ausüben, sondern daß durch die gruppenweise Anordnung der Noppen flächige Zonen der Fußsohle schonend angeregt und dadurch die zugehörigen Organe zu einer erhöhten Aktivität stimuliert werden. Dies gilt in besonderem Maße für das bevorzugte Anwendungsgebiet der erfindungsgemäßen Einlegesohle als Hilfe zur Gewichtsabnahme der Person. Durch die Anordnung der Noppen-Gruppen in Sohlenbereichen, die nach den gefestigten Erkenntnissen der Reflexzonentherapie den Verdauungsorganen Magen und Darm sowie der Leber, der Niere, dem Harnleiter zugehören, werden diese Organe durch das zeitweise Tragen der Einlegesohlen zu einer gesteigerten Aktivität angeregt, was in einer beschleunigten Ausscheidung der Verdauungsprodukte und Flüssigkeiten und damit zu einer verminderten Wertstoffnutzung führt.It is essential in the insoles according to the invention with nubs that are permanently or detachably attached to the lower layer of the sole, that individual nubs do not have an approximately punctiform intensive massage effect, as in the prior art, but that flat zones of the sole of the foot are gently stimulated by the grouping of the nubs and the associated organs are stimulated to an increased activity. This applies in particular to the preferred field of application of the insole according to the invention as an aid to the weight loss of the person. By the arrangement of the pimple groups in the sole areas, which according to the established knowledge of reflex zone therapy belong to the digestive organs stomach and intestine as well as the liver, kidney, ureter, these organs are stimulated to an increased activity by temporarily wearing the insoles, which results in an accelerated excretion of digestive products and liquids and thus leads to a reduced use of valuable materials.

Claims (7)

  1. An insole, consisting of a soft-elastic bottom layer (2) of an atoxic and organically compatible material, a flexible outer layer (1), e.g. of naturally tanned leather, and projections (5) disposed in the sole surface, the projections (5) which are fixed so as to be captive in the bottom layer (2) being disposed in groups and with small gaps between one another in specific areas of the sole surface selected from reflex zone massage considerations, the projections (5) being held releasably in the sole and having a widened base (6), characterised in that the widened base (6) of the projections (5) is fitted in a corresponding recess (4) in the bottom layer (2) and in that the projections (5) have a widened head (8) with a rounded top, the diameter of which is slightly larger than the hole diameter, and which rests by its edge on the flexible outer layer (1).
  2. An insole according to claim 1, characterised in that different reflex zones of the foot are marked by lines (9) on a sole surface.
  3. An insole according to claim 1 or 2, characterised in that the widened bases (6) of a plurality of projections (5) are interconnected to form a flat structure fitted into a recess formed in the bottom layer.
  4. An insole according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterised in that the projections (5) consist of different organically compatible materials.
  5. An insole according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterised in that the bottom layer (2) has a different thickness adapted to the curvature of the sole of the foot.
  6. An insole according to any one of claims 1 to 5, characterised in that the projections (5) are of different lengths.
  7. An insole according to claim 1, characterised in that the projections (5) are formed integrally on the bottom layer (2) and in that the zones occupied by the projections (5) are hollowed out in the upper outer layer (1).
