Definitions

  • the invention relates to an insole for a shoe, which is designed as a reflex massage sole with reflex points / reflex zones on the stimulating elevation areas of the feet, a shoe with such an insole and massage modules which, for individual adaptability to desired reflex points / reflex zones at desired locations on the insole Shoe is attachable.
  • the insoles of a shoe are provided with elevations which serve to stimulate them, the latter being an integral part of the insole of the shoe.
  • the disadvantage of the known systems is, inter alia, that the elevation areas which are intended to act on the reflex points / reflex zones are fixedly arranged at certain points in accordance with the medical knowledge and consequently a massage of the reflex points / reflex zones is only possible at predetermined points.
  • the survey areas are an integral part of the insole, it is not possible to adapt them to certain degrees of hardness without replacing the entire insole.
  • the known reflex massage soles there is consequently no individual adaptability of the elevation regions with regard to their arrangement on the insole and their adaptability to a desired hardness.
  • the insole for a shoe is designed as a reflex massage sole, which has raised areas with which reflex points / reflex zones are exerted on the soles of the feet when the shoe is worn.
  • the raised areas are formed by massage modules, wherein these massage modules for individual adaptability can be attached at any desired location in the insole, preferably can be attached releasably.
  • a major advantage of the insole according to the invention or of the shoe with the insole according to the invention is that the massage modules which can be attached to the insole can be individually adjusted to each reflex point / reflex zone of the sole of a person and accordingly on the insole serving as the support sole in various ways Shapes and materials can be brought to massage use at all points corresponding to the reflex points of the sole of the human foot. In this way, both medical aspects with regard to the targeted stimulation of individual organs or body parts as well as individual sensations and also aesthetic aspects with regard to the shape and color of the massage modules can be taken into account.
  • This individual, modular massage technique which can be adapted to each individual user, enables targeted stimuli to be exerted, which act individually on the whole body or only on individual parts of the body or organs, even in varying degrees depending on the material used.
  • a user of such a reflex massage sole is therefore not bound to a certain predetermined number and a certain predetermined arrangement of such elevation areas. It is therefore also possible to choose a different, individually adaptable hardness for each individual survey area.
  • the massage modules have a surface which corresponds to the inner surface of the insole and is in contact therewith, and a surface which faces the sole of the foot and defines the elevation region.
  • the surface defining the elevation area can be made relatively small in order to reflect points on the To stimulate the sole of the foot, or can be designed as a surface-like elevation which represents a specific area and which serves to stimulate reflex zones on the sole of the foot.
  • the surface of the surveys itself preferably has a profile in the form of profiling recesses and / or profiling surveys.
  • profiling the surface of the elevation areas of the massage modules the massage effect can be enhanced and thus the wearing properties can also be improved.
  • the massage modules are provided with needle-like plugs, by means of which they can be inserted into the insole. If the insole of a shoe consists of a more or less elastic material, it is thus possible to provide a reflex massage sole even with the insole firmly attached to the shoe in the sense of "retrofitting".
  • the insole is preferably designed as an insole which can be removed from the shoe and has a multiplicity of holes, which are preferably arranged as a hole pattern, in order to be able to detachably attach the massage modules to the insole.
  • the holes in the insole then serve to accommodate corresponding fastening elements for the massage modules. This allows massage modules to be attached to any hole provided in the insole.
  • the smaller the hole diameter the greater the individual adaptability.
  • they can preferably be designed so that they are either fastened in a single hole or, if they are intended to stimulate reflex zones and consequently have a larger surface area, they are fastened in several holes in the insole .
  • the massage modules can be fastened to the insole by means of an attached mating piece which cooperates with them for fastening.
  • This mating piece is then located on the underside of the insole, and the actual massage module is connected with a web-like plug through one or more holes in the Insole fastened in the counterpart by a manner known per se.
  • Counterpart and massage module or its web-like connector are preferably designed as a plug connection, button connection, screw connection and the like.
  • the massage modules are formed in one piece and have an approximately H-shaped structure in cross section.
  • the two side legs are then connected to one another by the web-like connector, one side of the "H” forming the elevation area which represents the actual massage module, while the leg of the "H” opposite this as a counterpart after insertion into a corresponding hole in the insole on the other Underside and so the massage module stops at the desired location.
  • the massage modules are preferably made of elastic material, different degrees of hardness being insertable at different locations on the insole.
  • the massage module has a mechanism for height adjustment.
  • a height adjustment it is possible on the one hand to intensify the massage effect in a targeted manner at defined refiex points / reflex zones, and on the other hand, with such a height adjustment, the degree of hardness of the massage modules can be varied.
  • a height-adjustable mechanism is, for example, known per se by a screw connection between the massage module and Counterpart achievable.
  • the insole is firmly connected to the inner shoe and is designed as an insole.
  • a shoe has an inner sole with the features described above.
  • a massage module for an insole of a shoe in particular for an insole that can be removed from the shoe, is provided, which is designed so that it can be attached to, preferably detachably attached to, the desired locations on the insole, so that thus
  • the massage module or several massage modules can be attached to the insole at such points by which desired reflex points / reflex zones of the sole of the foot can be stimulated.
  • the main advantage of such a massage module for an insole of a shoe is that different shapes and sizes as well as different materials with different degrees of hardness according to individual needs and sensations both on a conventional insole and on an insole fastened in the shoe and on an insole can be detachably fastened with an appropriate hole pattern.
  • aesthetic requirements can be taken into account to a great extent by the massage module according to the invention in different colors and shapes, such as for example Bleed shapes, star shapes, circles, oval shapes, triangles, rectangles, squares, polygons, etc.
  • the massage module is constructed in two parts and has a part which represents the actual massage module and a counterpart, into which the massage module with a web or web-like plug located thereon through the insole or through a hole formed in the insole hm- push-through and attachable with the counterpart.
  • the connection is preferably a plug connection or a screw connection.
  • the massage modules are height-adjustable.
  • a height adjustment mechanism located in the massage module makes it possible to increase both the height of the massage module and thus its stimulating effect on desired reflex points / reflex zones, as well as the degree of hardness.
  • Latex materials, rubber, tercolite, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, cork, wood or metal or any combination thereof are used as preferred materials for the massage modules.
  • Another advantage of the massage modules is that they can be attached to any insole.
  • the insole serving as the support sole is of course adaptable to all special and customary last shapes and sole shapes and can therefore also be used from special or used materials as well as for men's shoes, women's shoes and children's shoes.
