Definitions
- the invention relates to a massage sole for a shoe.
- the outsoles of shoes are made of conventional abrasion resistant materials such as a rubber compound or leather. These soles have, based on the blood flow to the feet, a major disadvantage: they are unable to adapt depending on the load interval or body temperature to a required degree of hardness or change.
- Known massaging shoe soles or shoes do not offer the possibility of ventilation or moisture regulation and associated heat dissipation. Shoe designers have already endeavored to provide ventilation systems or massage systems for improving heat dissipation or circulation.
- the techniques for aeration of shoes consist essentially in the use of holes which are in the shoe upper or a plurality of holes or micro holes, which are located in the sole area, which are to allow for external penetration of steam.
- a shoe is for example from the EP 0 382 904 A2 known.
- the techniques for a foot massage by wearing a shoe consist essentially in the use of point-like elevations, which are on the foot facing Side of the tread of an insole or insole.
- Such bumps are made of materials that have a consistent material hardness, regardless of a loading interval or the body or ambient temperature acting on the use of a corresponding shoe or a sole.
- Such a sole is for example from the DE 35 08 582 C2 known.
- nub-like elevations are incorporated into the insole, which have in their core a foam rubber material.
- the materials used here have a constant hardness of 15 to 30 Shore independent of external influences.
- An "automatic" control / adjustment of the degree of hardness and the resulting change in the massage effect is not provided. It was found that the degree of hardness of the massaging surveys, too low, to bring about an effective massage. If materials were chosen that consisted of a harder material, they would be more effective at massaging, but the permanent wearing of a corresponding sole or shoe would be uncomfortable, causing pressure points and also causing overstimulation.
- the invention is based on the object to effectively combat the problem of deafing the feet and to provide a more effective full-surface ventilation for shoe soles or stockings, which also binds the moisture of the foot perspiration.
- a massaging effect of the sole is to be achieved, which is to be influenced by the wearing interval, the duration of wear and body temperature.
- such soles should be made in a structurally simple manner, inexpensively and without electronic components.
- This elastomeric foam material may be treated with a body temperature thermosensitive material such as paraffin, microcrystalline paraffin or fat.
- the foam materials may also be other materials, such as granules of cork or polymer compounds.
- the foam material may be magnetic and / or the buffer layer is at least partially made of magnetic material.
- the tops of the cushions may have concavities at the air inlet openings which promote the ventilation effect when passing through an area such as a floor. be closed when putting on with one foot and / or pressing an insole. When pressing down the trapped air in the concavity is pressed through the air inlet opening into a channel in the direction of the air outlet opening.
- the channel between the air inlet and the air outlet opening has elastic side walls and expediently consists of the material of a cushion.
- the buffer layer can be used instead of a typical fire or insole for this application. It can consist of a thermosensitive material. In addition, she may have on her foot-facing side structures that support a massage.
- the buffer layer may have at its surfaces via connecting devices, which produces an air-sealing connection to the shoe sole, which positively supports air flow (seals the interface between buffer layer and outsole).
- the buffer layer is covered with a preferably anatomically shaped insole, which still supports this valve action.
- This should then consist of an air-permeable, porous material, for example textile material.
- the air inlet openings and the air outlet openings may optionally be covered with an air-permeable cover layer. This prevents accumulation of dust / lint or dirt within the channel between the air inlet and outlet openings.
- the insole may consist of a material which is displaceable with a fragrance, color and / or active substance, such as, for example, silver ions, which reduce the proliferation of bacteria.
- the insole with an indicator dye to visualize temperature changes of the insole. This is particularly useful when the insole is visible from the outside, e.g. transparent material parts of the outsole and / or the shoe upper.
- a latent heat storage as e.g. from BASF under the trade name Micronal, which is able to store heat / cold through a phase transformation.
- thermosensitive material of the buffer layer and / or the rubbery foam material may be in contact with or offset with a fragrance color or active agent such as a latent heat storage. This would have in the In the case of storing temperatures lower than the temperature which makes a thermosensitive material relatively compliant, the advantage is that the enhanced massaging effect of the thermosensitive material is maintained for a longer period of time.
- the cavities can be filled exclusively with a thermosensitive material.
- the restoring forces, which would stretch this again after compression of the cavity would come in this case of the air trapped in the cavity and of the elastic materials, of which there is a cavity.
- the material of the buffer layer and / or the rubber-elastic foam material may also consist of an electroactive or thermo-active material.
- Thermoactive materials can change their material properties through heating. For electroactive materials, this change in material properties can be caused solely by changing an applied voltage.
- the buffer layer may consist of several layers which are glued together.
- the layers may optionally consist of different materials.
- the cushions can form closed hollow bodies, which are designed, for example, as tubular or tubular cavities lying next to or above one another.
- the individual cavities can each be filled with different rubber-elastic foam materials or a mixture which differ in their hardness or their elasticity and / or thermosensitive properties.
- the different rubber-elastic foam materials may be mixed with different thermosensitive materials which have an increased viscosity at body temperature (they then become softer).
- Suitable thermosensitive materials are, for example, paraffin, microcrystalline paraffin, fats, beeswax.
- Thermosensitive materials for use within a massage and ventilation system for shoes according to the invention their material hardness changes in a temperature range which corresponds approximately to the body temperature. Rubber elastic foam materials reduce the weight and amount of thermosensitive material needed.
- the rubber-elastic foam materials allow a uniform distribution of the thermosensitive material.
- the uniform distribution of the thermosensitive materials within the elastomeric foam material is effected by the wearing and consequent compression and subsequent stretching of a cavity.
- Rubber elastic foam materials that have been spiked with a thermosensitive material within a cavity have the further advantage of being highly compressible within a cavity during high compression, such as when put on a foot.
- the elastic material of a cavity and / or a connecting channel prevents it from bursting or tearing.
- the cavities may be interconnected via connecting channels through which trapped air and heat-flowable thermosensitive materials can flow into less loaded cavities and / or connecting channels when a hollow space or a connecting channel is compressed.
- the buffer layer moves when it is loaded with one foot during placement. By this movement and by the massage effect, the burning or "falling asleep" of the foot surface is greatly reduced.
- thermo-sensitive material which are initially solid at room temperature, cause a strong massage on the sole of the foot. If the thermosensitive material becomes fluid / elastic due to the body temperature, the massage effect decreases. Pressure points or over-irritation are avoided.
- Air outlet openings can be formed from the shoe upper and / or the outsole.
- a connection between the buffer layer and the outside air is made by air channels, which are part of the outsole, insole and / or the buffer layer or a combination of outsole, fire and buffer layer.
- the air channels can be formed by indentations or material recesses.
- an air duct may consist of a separate part, e.g. a preferably elastic hollow body.
- the air channels may have in their inner moisture absorber, which absorb moisture and dry at lower humidity by the air flow again. This is especially helpful during heavy physical activities and low temperatures, which would result in condensation accumulation within the buffer layer. Constant air circulation within the air ducts and the connecting channels evaporates the previously collected condensation water. A color / fragrance ingredient within the moisture absorber prevents the proliferation of germs / bacteria / fungi (microorganisms) or a resulting odor.
- the moisture absorber may consist of a carrier material to which has been applied a swellable material, such as cross-linked sodium polyacrylate, proteins or casein.
- the cavities may be interconnected at their sides such that thermosensitive material as well as air may escape from one cavity to the next.
- the air flow profile can be reversed, when loading the buffer layer escapes air from the channels in the shoe interior.
- the air outlet opening is located in this case on the foot-facing side of the buffer layer, a Closing the air outlet opening by placing it with the foot is prevented by concavities surrounding the air outlet openings on their sides.
- the air outlet opening is located in the recess of the concavity and thus can not be closed by the air-permeable insole.
- the buffer layer can be incorporated only in a part of the shoe sole or formed as an insole.
- the air outlet openings or the air duct openings with a cover layer which is impermeable to water and consists for example of microfiber material, are closed.
- a cover layer which is impermeable to water and consists for example of microfiber material.
- the cushions can be formed to a different extent from the material of the buffer layer and thus have different damping properties.
- top and / or side walls of a cavity of different material thicknesses it is possible to form the top and / or side walls of a cavity of different material thicknesses. This would increase the massaging effect on the soles of the feet and could divide the intensity of the massage acting on the sole of the foot into different areas. If cushions with cavities with different massage properties are arranged, massage surfaces result, which cause a high perfusion of the feet and can be used for a specific stimulation of reflex zones of the sole of the foot. Targeted irritation of nerve cords residing in the tissue of the foot may have a positive effect on the health and well-being of the wearer.
- the design and arrangement of the massaging / stimulating surfaces may be arranged in such a way that their extension and material properties (degree of the Massage effect) stimulate specified reflex zones. The position of the individual organs and the corresponding reflex points on the sole of the foot are known.
- the embodiments that support foot reflex zone massage may also provide striped or oval configurations.
- An implementation and use of the massage effect on the sole of the foot can be adapted to the respective application areas.
- it can be distinguished whether it is particularly reflex zones that are associated with, for example, the cross area, the sexual organs, internal organs or the autonomic nervous system.
- the massage effect and arrangement may be different.
- various other reflexology areas are conceivable, which have a positive effect on organs or body regions.
- massaging insoles were in their effect and function only on the material thickness and arrangement of the massage surfaces controllable in their stimulating effect with the invention massaging sole control of the massage intensity during wear is possible: targeted stimulation at the beginning of wearing, targeted other stimulation at low outside temperatures.
- the massage effect changes. Individual areas can be activated or deactivated by a "control" (temperature).
- the thermosensitivity may vary from massage to massage.
- the stimulation and duration of reflex zones can now be controlled much more accurately and precisely.
- FIG. 1 shows the basic structure of the invention Ventilation system. It consists of an elastic buffer layer 1, in which at least one pad 12 is formed, which encloses a cavity 2. Such a cavity 2 shows FIG. 3 in cross section.
- a force such as occurs when walking is, by the foot surface or an insole 8, which is applied to the entire top of the buffer layer 1, or by both an air inlet opening 3, which is in the top 9 of the cavities second is closed.
- the air in the cavity 2 is compressed, which is through an air outlet opening 4, which is located in the bottom 10 of the buffer layer 1, and then through an air channel 7, which is in the material one below the buffer layer applied outsole 5 is located ( FIGS. 4 and 5 ), can escape through air channel openings 6 to the outside.
- FIG. 2 shows the buffer layer 1 with the pad 12 in a side view.

- the bulges 13 are formed from the material of the buffer layer 1 and have no voids. They should serve a massage effect for the sole of the foot.
- the chosen arrangement in rows of bulges 13 and pillow 12 creates a large massage surface, which causes increased blood flow to the sole of the foot.
- the arrangement may be transverse, oblique or vertical.
- the rows can be wavy.
- the remaining spaces 14 provide the bulges 13 place when they are pressed down and thereby widening.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Massagsohle für einen Schuh.The invention relates to a massage sole for a shoe.
Beim Tragen von Schuhen, insbesondere Sportschuhen, ist zu beobachten, dass die Träger häufig über Sohlenbrennen oder taube (eingeschlafene) Füße oder Zehen klagen. Das Phänomen ist nicht nur unangenehm, sondern führt oft zum Abbruch des Trainings.When wearing shoes, in particular sports shoes, it can be observed that the wearer often complains of sole burning or deaf (fallen asleep) feet or toes. The phenomenon is not only unpleasant, but often leads to the termination of training.
Die Außensohlen von Schuhen sind aus konventionellen, abriebfesten Materialien, wie beispielsweise einem Gummiverbund oder Leder hergestellt. Diese Sohlen haben, bezogen auf die Durchblutung der Füße, einen großen Nachteil: Sie sind nicht in der Lage sich je nach Belastungsintervall oder Körpertemperatur einem jeweils benötigten Härtegrad anzupassen bzw. zu verändern. Bekannte massierende Schuhsohlen bzw. Schuhe bieten nicht die Möglichkeit einer Belüftung bzw. einer Feuchtigkeitsregulierung und einem hiermit verbundenen Wärmeabtransport. Die Schuhdesigner haben sich bereits bemüht, Belüftungssysteme oder Massagesysteme für die Verbesserung des Wärmeabtransportes oder der Durchblutung bereitzustellen.The outsoles of shoes are made of conventional abrasion resistant materials such as a rubber compound or leather. These soles have, based on the blood flow to the feet, a major disadvantage: they are unable to adapt depending on the load interval or body temperature to a required degree of hardness or change. Known massaging shoe soles or shoes do not offer the possibility of ventilation or moisture regulation and associated heat dissipation. Shoe designers have already endeavored to provide ventilation systems or massage systems for improving heat dissipation or circulation.
Die Techniken für die Belüftung von Schuhen bestehen im Wesentlichen in der Verwendung von Löchern, welche sich im Schuhobermaterial befinden oder einer Vielzahl von Löchern oder Mikrolöchern, welche sich im Sohlenbereich befinden, die ein nach Außendringen von Dampf ermöglichen sollen. Ein derartiger Schuh ist beispielsweise aus der
Die Techniken für eine Fußmassage durch das Tragen eines Schuhs bestehen im Wesentlichen in der Verwendung von punktförmigen Erhebungen, welche sich auf der fußzugewandten Seite der Lauffläche einer Innen- oder Brandsohle befinden. Derartige Erhebungen bestehen aus Materialien, welche eine gleichbleibende Materialhärte aufweisen, unabhängig von einem Belastungsintervall oder der Körper- bzw. Umgebungstemperatur die beim Nutzen eines entsprechenden Schuhs oder einer Sohle einwirken.The techniques for a foot massage by wearing a shoe consist essentially in the use of point-like elevations, which are on the foot facing Side of the tread of an insole or insole. Such bumps are made of materials that have a consistent material hardness, regardless of a loading interval or the body or ambient temperature acting on the use of a corresponding shoe or a sole.
Eine derartige Sohle ist beispielsweise aus der
Ein weiteres Beispiel für eine Massagesohle ist aus der
Andere Beispiele massierender Sohlen oder Schuhe sehen die Verwendung von elektronischen Bauteilen wie u.a. Batterien vor, welche Schwingungen erzeugen oder durch Wärmeimpulse eine positive Beeinflussung der Durchblutung eines Fußes vorsehen. Elektronische Bauteile innerhalb einer Schuhsohle oder eines Schuhs sind anfällig, des weiteren müssen Batterien geladen oder ausgetauscht werden, was relativ unkomfortabel ist und zudem die Umwelt zusätzlich belastet.Other examples of massaging soles or shoes see the Use of electronic components such as batteries, which create vibrations or provide a positive influence on the blood flow of a foot by heat pulses. Electronic components within a shoe sole or shoe are vulnerable and batteries must be charged or replaced, which is relatively uncomfortable and also adds to the burden on the environment.
Außerdem weisen die vorgenannten Lösungen den Nachteil auf, dass sie keine Belüftungsöffnungen vorsehen, die den Luftaustausch ermöglichen. Dies ist ein nicht außer Acht zu lassender Mangel, wenn man berücksichtigt, dass gerade die Fußsohle eine außerordentlich hohe Konzentration von Schweißdrüsen besitzt. Die Folge ist der so genannte "Turnschuh-Fuß". Wer über einen längeren Zeitraum nicht ausreichend luftdurchlässige Schuhe und Socken trägt, der hat bald einen Schweißfuß. Durch schlecht belüftete Schuhe kann es unter anderem bei Allergien und Viruserkrankungen zu den unterschiedlichsten Krankheitsbildern kommen.In addition, the aforementioned solutions have the disadvantage that they do not provide ventilation openings, which allow the exchange of air. This is a not to be ignored deficiency, considering that the sole of the foot has an extremely high concentration of sweat glands. The result is the so-called "sneaker foot". Anyone who does not wear sufficiently breathable shoes and socks over a longer period of time will soon have a sweat foot. Due to poorly ventilated shoes, allergies and viral diseases, among other things, can lead to a wide variety of clinical pictures.
Es sind auch Lösungen bekannt, nach denen durch die Laufbewegung eine gewisse Pumpbewegung erreicht werden soll, wobei Luftkanäle vorhanden sind, die mit Einwegventilen verschlossen sind, siehe zum Beispiel
Bei anderen Lösungen wird eine Ventilwirkung durch die gegenseitige Bewegung von mehreren elastischen und strukturierten Sohlenlagen erreicht, so nach

Das Dokument
Durchtrittsöffnungen im Obermaterial des Schuhs haben den Nachteil, dass die Öffnungen, welche den Luftaustausch unterhalb der Fußsohle ermöglichen sollen, ausschließlich eine Belüftung des Fußrückens ermöglichen.Through openings in the upper of the shoe have the disadvantage that the openings, which should allow the exchange of air below the sole of the foot, only allow ventilation of the foot.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, das Problem des Taubwerdens der Füße effektiv zu bekämpfen und eine effektivere ganzflächige Belüftung für Schuhsohlen oder Strümpfe zu schaffen, welche zudem die Feuchte des Fußschweißes bindet. Außerdem soll eine massierende Wirkung der Sohle erreicht werden, die von dem Trageintervall, der Tragedauer sowie der Körpertemperatur beeinflusst werden soll. Dabei sollen derartige Schuhsohlen auf baulich einfache Weise, kostengünstig und ohne elektronische Bauteile hergestellt werden können.The invention is based on the object to effectively combat the problem of deafing the feet and to provide a more effective full-surface ventilation for shoe soles or stockings, which also binds the moisture of the foot perspiration. In addition, a massaging effect of the sole is to be achieved, which is to be influenced by the wearing interval, the duration of wear and body temperature. In this case, such soles should be made in a structurally simple manner, inexpensively and without electronic components.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen genannt.The object is achieved by the features of
Danach weist der Schuh über der Außensohle eine Pufferschicht aus einem mindestens teilweise elastischen Material auf, die mindestens im unbelasteten Zustand Hohlräume bildende Kissen enthält, deren Oberseiten jeweils mindestens eine Lufteintrittsöffnung und die an jeweils einer Unterseite oder Seitenwand mindestens eine Luftaustrittsöffnung haben, wobei die Summe der Flächen der Lufteintrittsöffnungen eines Kissens größer ist als die Summe der Luftaustrittsflächen eines Kissens, und die Luftaustrittsöffnungen in Luftkanäle in der Außensohle münden und wobei die Lufteintrittsöffnungen (3) und die Luftaustrittsöffnungen (4) durch einen geschlossenen Kanal (17) miteinander verbunden sind und die Hohlräume (2) mit einem elastischen Schaummaterial (15) gefüllt sind, das mit einem thermosensitiven Material (16) versetzt ist.Thereafter, the shoe over the outsole on a buffer layer of an at least partially elastic material containing at least in the unloaded state cavities forming cushions whose tops each have at least one air inlet opening and the at least one underside or side wall at least one air outlet opening, wherein the sum of Areas of the air inlet openings of a cushion is greater than the sum of the air outlet surfaces of a cushion, and the air outlet openings in air channels in the outsole open and wherein the air inlet openings (3) and the air outlet openings (4) by a closed channel (17) are interconnected and the cavities (2) are filled with a resilient foam material (15), which is mixed with a thermosensitive material (16).
Dieses gummielastische Schaummaterial kann mit einem bei Körpertemperatur thermosensitiven Material wie etwa einem Paraffin, mikrokristallinen Paraffin oder Fett versetzt worden sein.
Die Schaummaterialien können auch andere Materialien wie z.B. ein Granulat aus Kork oder Polymerverbindungen sein. Gegebenenfalls kann das Schaummaterial magnetisch sein und/oder die Pufferschicht besteht mindestens teilweise aus magnetischem Material.This elastomeric foam material may be treated with a body temperature thermosensitive material such as paraffin, microcrystalline paraffin or fat.
The foam materials may also be other materials, such as granules of cork or polymer compounds. Optionally, the foam material may be magnetic and / or the buffer layer is at least partially made of magnetic material.
Die Oberseiten der Kissen können an den Lufteintrittsöffnungen Einwölbungen aufweisen, die die Ventilationswirkung unterstützen, wenn diese durch eine Fläche wie z.B. beim Aufsetzen mit einem Fuß und/oder Aufpressen einer Innensohle verschlossen werden. Beim Niederpressen wird die in der Einwölbung eingeschlossene Luft durch die Lufteintrittsöffnung in einen Kanal in Richtung Luftaustrittsöffnung gepresst.The tops of the cushions may have concavities at the air inlet openings which promote the ventilation effect when passing through an area such as a floor. be closed when putting on with one foot and / or pressing an insole. When pressing down the trapped air in the concavity is pressed through the air inlet opening into a channel in the direction of the air outlet opening.
Der Kanal zwischen Lufteintritts- und Luftaustrittsöffnung weist elastische Seitenwände auf und besteht zweckmäßig aus dem Material eines Kissens.The channel between the air inlet and the air outlet opening has elastic side walls and expediently consists of the material of a cushion.
Die Pufferschicht kann anstelle einer für diesen Anwendungsbereich typischen Brand- bzw. Innensohle dienen. Sie kann aus einem thermosensitiven Material bestehen. Außerdem kann sie auf ihrer dem Fuß zugewandten Seite über Strukturen verfügen, welche eine Massage unterstützen.The buffer layer can be used instead of a typical fire or insole for this application. It can consist of a thermosensitive material. In addition, she may have on her foot-facing side structures that support a massage.
Die Pufferschicht kann an ihren Flächen über Verbindungsvorrichtungen verfügen, welche eine Luft abdichtende Verbindung zur Schuhsohle herstellt, welche eine Luftströmung positiv unterstützt (dichtet die Schnittstelle zwischen Pufferschicht und Laufsohle ab).The buffer layer may have at its surfaces via connecting devices, which produces an air-sealing connection to the shoe sole, which positively supports air flow (seals the interface between buffer layer and outsole).
Da jeweils die Gesamtfläche der Lufteintrittsöffnungen größer ist als die der Luftaustrittsöffnungen eines Kissens, entsteht eine gerichtete Luftströmung nach außen, ohne dass es eines Einwegventils bedarf.Since in each case the total area of the air inlet openings is greater than that of the air outlet openings of a cushion, a directed air flow arises to the outside, without the need for a one-way valve.
Zweckmäßig wird die Pufferschicht mit einer vorzugsweise anatomisch geformten Innensohle abgedeckt, die diese Ventilwirkung noch unterstützt. Diese sollte dann aus einem luftdurchlässigen, porösen Material, beispielsweise Textilmaterial, bestehen.Suitably, the buffer layer is covered with a preferably anatomically shaped insole, which still supports this valve action. This should then consist of an air-permeable, porous material, for example textile material.
Die Lufteintrittsöffnungen sowie die Luftaustrittsöffnungen können gegebenenfalls mit einer luftdurchlässigen Abdeckschicht abgedeckt sein. Diese verhindert eine Ansammlung von Staub/ Fusseln bzw. Schmutz innerhalb des Kanals zwischen Lufteintritts- und -austrittsöffnungen.The air inlet openings and the air outlet openings may optionally be covered with an air-permeable cover layer. This prevents accumulation of dust / lint or dirt within the channel between the air inlet and outlet openings.
Die Innensohle kann aus einem.Material bestehen, das mit einem Duft-, Farb- und/oder Wirkstoff versetzbar ist wie beispielsweise Silberionen, welche eine Vermehrung von Bakterien vermindern.The insole may consist of a material which is displaceable with a fragrance, color and / or active substance, such as, for example, silver ions, which reduce the proliferation of bacteria.
Es ist auch möglich, die Innensohle mit einem Indikatorfarbstoff zu versehen, um Temperaturveränderungen der Innensohle sichtbar zu machen. Dies ist besonders geeignet, wenn die Innensohle von außen sichtbar ist wie z.B. transparente Materialteile der Außensohle und/oder des Schuhobermaterials. Außerdem ist es möglich, die Innensohle mit einem Latentwärmespeicher, wie es z.B. von BASF unter dem Handelsnamen Micronal angeboten wird, zu verbinden, der durch eine Phasenumwandlung Wärme/Kälte zu speichern vermag.It is also possible to provide the insole with an indicator dye to visualize temperature changes of the insole. This is particularly useful when the insole is visible from the outside, e.g. transparent material parts of the outsole and / or the shoe upper. In addition, it is possible to use the insole with a latent heat storage, as e.g. from BASF under the trade name Micronal, which is able to store heat / cold through a phase transformation.
Auch das thermosensitive Material der Pufferschicht und/oder das gummielastische Schaummaterial können mit einem Duft-Farb- oder Wirkstoff wie etwa einem Latentwärmespeicher in Verbindung stehen oder mir diesem versetzt sein. Dies hätte im Falle einer Speicherung von Temperaturen, die unter der Temperatur liegen, die ein thermosensitives Material relativ nachgiebig werden lässt, den Vorteil, dass die verstärkte Massagewirkung des thermosensitiven Materials für einen längeren Zeitraum erhalten bleibt.Also, the thermosensitive material of the buffer layer and / or the rubbery foam material may be in contact with or offset with a fragrance color or active agent such as a latent heat storage. This would have in the In the case of storing temperatures lower than the temperature which makes a thermosensitive material relatively compliant, the advantage is that the enhanced massaging effect of the thermosensitive material is maintained for a longer period of time.
Die Hohlräume können ausschließlich mit einem thermosensitiven Material befüllt sein. Die Rückstellkräfte, die nach einer Kompression des Hohlraumes diesen wieder strecken würden, kämen in diesem Falle von der in dem Hohlraum eingeschlossen Luft sowie von den elastischen Materialien, aus dem ein Hohlraum besteht.The cavities can be filled exclusively with a thermosensitive material. The restoring forces, which would stretch this again after compression of the cavity would come in this case of the air trapped in the cavity and of the elastic materials, of which there is a cavity.
Das Material der Pufferschicht und/oder des gummielastischen Schaummaterials kann auch aus einem elektroaktiven oder thermoaktiven Material bestehen. Thermoaktive Materialien können ihre Materialeigenschaften durch die Erwärmung ändern. Bei elektroaktiven Materialien kann diese Änderung der Materialeigenschaften allein durch Ändern einer angelegten Spannung hervorgerufen werden.The material of the buffer layer and / or the rubber-elastic foam material may also consist of an electroactive or thermo-active material. Thermoactive materials can change their material properties through heating. For electroactive materials, this change in material properties can be caused solely by changing an applied voltage.
Die Pufferschicht kann aus mehreren Lagen bestehen, die miteinander verklebt werden. Die Lagen können gegebenenfalls aus verschiedenen Materialien bestehen.The buffer layer may consist of several layers which are glued together. The layers may optionally consist of different materials.
Die Kissen können geschlossene Hohlkörper bilden, welche z.B. als neben- oder übereinander liegende schlauchartige Hohlraume ausgebildet sind. Die einzelnen Hohlräume können jeweils mit unterschiedlichen gummielastischen Schaummaterialien oder einer Mischung aufgefüllt sein, welche sich in ihren Härte bzw. ihrer Elastizität und/oder thermosensitiven Eigenschaften unterscheiden. Die unterschiedlichen gummielastischen Schaummaterialien können mit unterschiedlichen thermosensitiven Materialien versetzt sein, welche bei Körpertemperatur eine erhöhte Viskosität aufweisen (sie werden dann weicher). Als thermosensitiven Materialien kommen z.B. Paraffin, mikrokristallines Paraffin, Fette, Bienenwachs in Betracht. Thermosensitive Materialien für die Verwendung innerhalb eines erfindungsgemäßen Massage- und Belüftungssystems für Schuhe, verändern ihre Materialhärte in einem Temperaturbereich, der in etwa dem der Körpertemperatur entspricht. Gummielastischen Schaummaterialien reduzieren das Gewicht und die Menge des benötigten thermosensitiven Materials. Aufgrund ihrer offenporigen Struktur ermöglichen die gummielastischen Schaummaterialien eine gleichmäßige Verteilung des thermosensitiven Materials. Die gleichmäßige Verteilung des thermosensitiven Materialien innerhalb des gummielastischen Schaummaterials wird durch das Tragen und dem hieraus resultierenden Zusammenpressen und anschließenden Streckens eines Hohlraumes bewirkt. Gummielastische Schaummaterialien, welche mit einem thermosensitiven Material innerhalb eines Holraumes versetzt wurden, haben den weiteren Vorteil, dass sie innerhalb eines Hohlraumes bei einer starken Kompression, wie z.B. beim Aufsetzen mit einem Fuß, stark zusammenpressbar sind. Das elastische Material eines Hohlraumes und/oder eines Verbindungskanals verhindert ein Zerplatzen bzw. Einreißen derselben.The cushions can form closed hollow bodies, which are designed, for example, as tubular or tubular cavities lying next to or above one another. The individual cavities can each be filled with different rubber-elastic foam materials or a mixture which differ in their hardness or their elasticity and / or thermosensitive properties. The different rubber-elastic foam materials may be mixed with different thermosensitive materials which have an increased viscosity at body temperature (they then become softer). Suitable thermosensitive materials are, for example, paraffin, microcrystalline paraffin, fats, beeswax. Thermosensitive materials for use Within a massage and ventilation system for shoes according to the invention, their material hardness changes in a temperature range which corresponds approximately to the body temperature. Rubber elastic foam materials reduce the weight and amount of thermosensitive material needed. Due to their open-pore structure, the rubber-elastic foam materials allow a uniform distribution of the thermosensitive material. The uniform distribution of the thermosensitive materials within the elastomeric foam material is effected by the wearing and consequent compression and subsequent stretching of a cavity. Rubber elastic foam materials that have been spiked with a thermosensitive material within a cavity have the further advantage of being highly compressible within a cavity during high compression, such as when put on a foot. The elastic material of a cavity and / or a connecting channel prevents it from bursting or tearing.
Ferner können die Hohlräume über Verbindungskanäle miteinander verbunden sein, durch welche eingeschlossene Luft und durch Wärme fließfähige thermosensitive Materialien beim Zusammenpressen eines Holraumes bzw. eines Verbindungskanals in weniger belastete Hohlräume und/oder Verbindungskanäle strömen können. Durch dieses Fließen bewegt sich die Pufferschicht, wenn diese beim Aufsetzen mit einem Fuß belastet wird. Durch diese Bewegung und durch die Massagewirkung wird das Brennen oder "Einschlafen" der Fußfläche stark vermindert.Furthermore, the cavities may be interconnected via connecting channels through which trapped air and heat-flowable thermosensitive materials can flow into less loaded cavities and / or connecting channels when a hollow space or a connecting channel is compressed. As a result of this flow, the buffer layer moves when it is loaded with one foot during placement. By this movement and by the massage effect, the burning or "falling asleep" of the foot surface is greatly reduced.
Durch die bei Raumtemperatur anfänglich festen Materialeigenschaften des thermosensitiven Materials wird eine starke Massage an der Fußsohle hervorgerufen. Wird das thermosensitive Material durch die Körpertemperatur fließfähig/elastischer, nimmt die Massagewirkung ab. Druckstellen oder Überreizungen werden vermieden.The material properties of the thermo-sensitive material, which are initially solid at room temperature, cause a strong massage on the sole of the foot. If the thermosensitive material becomes fluid / elastic due to the body temperature, the massage effect decreases. Pressure points or over-irritation are avoided.
Die abgeführte Luft aus dem Schuhinneren kann durch Luftkanäle nach außen geleitet werden. Luftaustrittsöffnungen können sich aus dem Schuhobermaterial und/oder der Laufsohle gebildet werden. Eine Verbindung zwischen der Pufferschicht und der Außenluft wird durch Luftkanäle hergestellt, welche Bestandteil der Laufsohle, Brandsohle und/oder der Pufferschicht bzw. einer Kombination aus Laufsohle, Brandssohle und Pufferschicht bestehen. Die Luftkanäle können durch Einwölbungen bzw. Materialaussparungen ausgebildet werden. Des Weiteren kann ein Luftkanal aus einem separaten Teil bestehen wie z.B. einem vorzugsweise elastischen Hohlkörper.The discharged air from the inside of the shoe can be directed through air ducts to the outside. Air outlet openings can be formed from the shoe upper and / or the outsole. A connection between the buffer layer and the outside air is made by air channels, which are part of the outsole, insole and / or the buffer layer or a combination of outsole, fire and buffer layer. The air channels can be formed by indentations or material recesses. Furthermore, an air duct may consist of a separate part, e.g. a preferably elastic hollow body.
Die Luftkanäle können in ihrem inneren Feuchtigkeitsabsorber aufweisen, welche Feuchtigkeit aufnehmen und bei niedrigerer Luftfeuchtigkeit durch die Luftströmung wieder trocknen. Dies ist besonders hilfreich bei starken körperlichen Betätigungen und niedrigen Temperaturen, was eine Kondenswasseransammlung innerhalb der Pufferschicht zur Folge hätte. Durch ständige Luftzirkulation innerhalb der Luftkanäle und der Verbindungskanäle verdunstet das zuvor aufgenommene Kondenswasser. Ein Farb-/Duft-Wirkstoff innerhalb des Feuchtigkeitsabsorbers verhindert die Vermehrung von Keimen/Bakterien/Pilzen (Mikroorganismen) bzw. eine hieraus resultierende Geruchsbildung. Der Feuchtigkeitsabsorber kann aus einem Trägermaterial bestehen, auf das ein quellfähiges Material, wie zum Beispiel vernetztes Natriumpolyacrylat, Eiweißstoffe oder Kasein aufgebracht wurde.The air channels may have in their inner moisture absorber, which absorb moisture and dry at lower humidity by the air flow again. This is especially helpful during heavy physical activities and low temperatures, which would result in condensation accumulation within the buffer layer. Constant air circulation within the air ducts and the connecting channels evaporates the previously collected condensation water. A color / fragrance ingredient within the moisture absorber prevents the proliferation of germs / bacteria / fungi (microorganisms) or a resulting odor. The moisture absorber may consist of a carrier material to which has been applied a swellable material, such as cross-linked sodium polyacrylate, proteins or casein.
Die Hohlräume können an ihren Seiten derart miteinander verbunden sein, dass thermosensitives Material sowie Luft von einem Hohlraum in den nächsten entweichen kann.The cavities may be interconnected at their sides such that thermosensitive material as well as air may escape from one cavity to the next.
Durch die Verwendung einer Einwegluftdurchtrittsöffnung kann der Luftströmungsverlauf umgekehrt werden, beim Belasten der Pufferschicht entweicht Luft aus den Kanälen in das Schuhinnere. Die Luftaustrittsöffnung befindet sich in diesem Falle an der dem Fuß zugewandten Seite der Pufferschicht, ein Verschließen der Luftaustrittsöffnung durch das Aufsetzen mit dem Fuß wird durch Einwölbungen, welche die Luftaustrittsöffnungen an ihren Seiten umgeben, verhindert. Die Luftaustrittsöffnung befindet sich in der Vertiefung der Einwölbung und kann somit nicht durch die luftdurchlässige Innensohle verschlossen werden.By using a one-way air passage opening, the air flow profile can be reversed, when loading the buffer layer escapes air from the channels in the shoe interior. The air outlet opening is located in this case on the foot-facing side of the buffer layer, a Closing the air outlet opening by placing it with the foot is prevented by concavities surrounding the air outlet openings on their sides. The air outlet opening is located in the recess of the concavity and thus can not be closed by the air-permeable insole.
Die Pufferschicht kann nur in einen Teil der Schuhsohle eingearbeitet oder auch als Einlegesohle ausgebildet sein.The buffer layer can be incorporated only in a part of the shoe sole or formed as an insole.
Zum Schutz vor Feuchtigkeit können die Luftaustrittsöffnungen oder die Luftkanalöffnungen mit einer Abdeckschicht, welche wasserundurchlässig ist und beispielsweise aus Mikrofasermaterial besteht, verschlossen werden. Zusätzlich können natürlich wie in bisher bekannter Weise Einwegventile vorgesehen sein.For protection against moisture, the air outlet openings or the air duct openings with a cover layer, which is impermeable to water and consists for example of microfiber material, are closed. In addition, of course, as in previously known manner, one-way valves can be provided.
Die Kissen können unterschiedlich stark aus dem Material der Pufferschicht herausgebildet sein und somit über unterschiedliche Dämpfungseigenschaften verfügen.The cushions can be formed to a different extent from the material of the buffer layer and thus have different damping properties.
Außerdem ist es möglich, die Oberseite und/oder Seitenwände eines Hohlraumes aus unterschiedlichen Materialstärken herauszubilden. Dies würde die Massagewirkung an den Fußsohlen verstärken und könnte die Intensität der Massage, die auf die Fußsohle einwirkt, in unterschiedliche Bereiche unterteilen. Werden Kissen mit Hohlraum mit unterschiedlichen Massageeigenschaften angeordnet, ergeben sich Massageflächen, die eine hohe Durchblutung der Füße bewirken und für eine gezielte Stimulierung von Reflexzonen der Fußsohle benutzt werden können. Gezielte Reizungen von Nervensträngen, welche sich im Gewebe des Fußes befinden, können sich gesundheitlich bzw. auf das Wohlbefinden des Trägers positiv auswirken.Die Ausgestaltung und Anordnung der massierenden/stimulierenden Flächen können so angeordnet sein, das diese in ihrer Ausdehnung und Materialeigenschaft (Grad der Massagewirkung) festgelegte Reflexzonen stimulieren. Die Lage der einzelnen Organe sowie der entsprechenden Reflexpunkte an der Fußsohle sind bekannt.In addition, it is possible to form the top and / or side walls of a cavity of different material thicknesses. This would increase the massaging effect on the soles of the feet and could divide the intensity of the massage acting on the sole of the foot into different areas. If cushions with cavities with different massage properties are arranged, massage surfaces result, which cause a high perfusion of the feet and can be used for a specific stimulation of reflex zones of the sole of the foot. Targeted irritation of nerve cords residing in the tissue of the foot may have a positive effect on the health and well-being of the wearer. The design and arrangement of the massaging / stimulating surfaces may be arranged in such a way that their extension and material properties (degree of the Massage effect) stimulate specified reflex zones. The position of the individual organs and the corresponding reflex points on the sole of the foot are known.
Die Ausführungsformen, die eine Fußreflexzonenmassage unterstützen, können auch streifenförmige bzw. ovale Ausgestaltungen vorsehen. Eine Umsetzung und Nutzung der Massagewirkung an der Fußsohle kann den jeweiligen Anwendungsbereichen angepasst werden. Hier kann z.B. unterschieden werden, ob besonders Reflexzonenbereiche angesprochen werden, die mit z.B.: Kreuzbereich, Sexualorgane, Innerenorgane oder dem vegetativen Nervensystem in Verbindung gebracht werden. Je gewünschter Wirkungsweise kann die Massagewirkung und Anordnung unterschiedlich sein. Neben diesen Ausführungen sind verschiedene andere Reflexzonenmassage Flächen denkbar, welche eine positive Wirkung auf Organe oder Körperregionen haben.The embodiments that support foot reflex zone massage may also provide striped or oval configurations. An implementation and use of the massage effect on the sole of the foot can be adapted to the respective application areas. Here, e.g. It can be distinguished whether it is particularly reflex zones that are associated with, for example, the cross area, the sexual organs, internal organs or the autonomic nervous system. Depending on the desired mode of action, the massage effect and arrangement may be different. In addition to these statements, various other reflexology areas are conceivable, which have a positive effect on organs or body regions.
Bisher waren massierende Innensohlen in ihrer Wirkung und Funktion nur über die Materialstärke und Anordnung der Massageflächen in ihrer stimulierenden Wirkung steuerbar Mit der erfindungsgemäße massierenden Sohle ist auch eine Steuerung der Massageintensität während des Tragens möglich: Gezielte Stimulation am Anfang des Tragens, gezielte andere Stimulation bei niedrigen Außentemperaturen. Je nach Aktivität (aussen- oder innen/ Sommer- oder Winter) verändert sich die Massagewirkung. Einzelne Bereiche können durch eine "Steuerung" (Temperatur) aktiviert oder deaktiviert werden. Auch die Thermoempfindlichkeit kann von Massagefläche zu Massagefläche unterschiedlich sei. Die Stimulation und Dauer von Reflexzonen kann nun wesentlich genauer und präziser gesteuert werden.So far, massaging insoles were in their effect and function only on the material thickness and arrangement of the massage surfaces controllable in their stimulating effect with the invention massaging sole control of the massage intensity during wear is possible: targeted stimulation at the beginning of wearing, targeted other stimulation at low outside temperatures. Depending on the activity (outside or inside / summer or winter), the massage effect changes. Individual areas can be activated or deactivated by a "control" (temperature). The thermosensitivity may vary from massage to massage. The stimulation and duration of reflex zones can now be controlled much more accurately and precisely.

Die Lufteintrittsöffnungen 3 sowie die Luftaustrittsöffnungen 4 können gegebenenfalls mit einer luftdurchlässigen Abdeckschicht 21 abgedeckt sein. Diese verhindert eine Ansammlung von Staub/ Fusseln bzw. Schmutz innerhalb des Kanals zwischen Lufteintritts- und -austrittsöffnungen.The

Durch die Wegnahme der Kraft, zum Beispiel beim Heben des Fußes, strecken sich die elastischen Seitenwände des Hohlraums 2 in seine ursprüngliche Form. Es entsteht eine Sogwirkung. Da die Lufteintrittsöffnung 3 größer ist als die Luftaustrittsöffnung 4, wird ein Großteil der Luft durch die Lufteintrittsöffnung 3 durch das Material der luftdurchlässigen Innensohle 8 hindurch angesogen. Werden diese Bewegungsabläufe ständig wiederholt, wie dies typischerweise beim Gehen der Fall ist, strömt verbrauchte und feuchte Luft durch die Innensohle 8 nach außen. Bewirkt durch diesen Luftzug findet eine Verdunstung von Feuchtigkeit statt. Es findet eine Abkühlung (adiabatische Kühlung) der Innensohle 8 statt. Diese Abkühlung wird dadurch verursacht, dass der Innensohle 8 Feuchtigkeit, und ihrer Umgebung die zum Verdunsten erforderliche "Verdunstungswärme" (Verdampfungswärme) entzogen wird. Der Verdunstungsvorgang und damit die Verdunstungskühlung wird verstärkt, wenn der entstehende Dampf durch einen trockenen Luftzug (nachströmende Außenluft) möglichst rasch abgeführt wird, sodass ständig wieder ungesättigte Luft an die Stelle gelangt, wo die Verdunstung stattfindet.By removing the force, for example when lifting the foot, stretch the elastic side walls of the
Die der Innensohle 8, insbesondere den Bereichen über der Lufteintrittsöffnung 3 entzogene Feuchtigkeit wandert durch Adhäsionskraft der Kapillaren des Materials, aus dem die Innensohle 8 besteht, aus den umliegenden Bereichen der Innensohle 8 nach, sodass der Innensohle 8 durch die Sogwirkung gleichmäßig trocknet.The moisture extracted from the
Durch ständige Wiederholungen dieser Krafteinwirkungen wird eine kontinuierliche Luftzirkulation, Entfeuchtung und eine Kühlung erreicht.Constant repetition of these forces results in continuous air circulation, dehumidification and cooling.
