Description

INSOLE

The invention relates to an insole according to the preamble of claim 1.

Separate insoles can be used inside the footwear, which are placed inside the footwear on its sole. Insoles can be used to make the footwear fit better for 5 minutes. In addition, the insoles can be used to affect the nervous system of the foot.

In both acupuncture and reflexology, parts of the nervous system in the soles of the feet are irritated by bluntly pressing at specific points based on experience. In both methods, experience points have been recorded for centuries and published as various reflexology or acupuncture maps. The above-mentioned maps are, according to current knowledge, created independently of each other on the globe, acupuncture maps within the sphere of influence of China and Japan, and zone therapy maps in Western culture. Obviously, these maps differ in many respects, although the mechanism of action itself is similar.

In addition to the active blunting of blunt objects at specific points, both commonly known methods also present protrusions molded on the inside of the sole of the footwear or on the loose sole, utilizing self-movement and weight to induce nerve irritation. 20 In the past, various solutions have been used in order to reach the areas of influence of the protrusions at points throughout the sole of the foot.

In the first solution, the insoles are shaped or formed with fixed protuberances or similar projections throughout the sole of the foot, so that substantially a uniform raised raster is present throughout the insole. This has the disadvantage that the weight of the bar is distributed over a very wide surface and that the mechanism of action of the flat embosser raster is very weak, since the surface area increases considerably in relation to the weight of its user.

In another alternative, the insole has protrusions at predetermined and valid, fixed points. The disadvantage is that the range of action is very selective, although the pressure per se at these selected points can be suitably strong at £ 3.

The third solution utilizes wholly or partially torn insoles, in which a single projection corresponding to the hole can be placed in each hole. The disadvantage of this 2 solution is that the holes in the insole are relatively far apart and the raster formed by the bumps is sparse and the body weight is applied to such a small area that a single bump can push through the skin. Such a single protrusion should be wide enough so that the surface pressure at the individual protrusion 5 is so low that no skin or tissue is damaged when using the insoles. In addition, the single protrusion must be large also because the protrusion remains upright.

It is an object of the invention to provide an insole which eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages. In particular, it is an object of the invention to provide an insole which is easy to use, easy to modify and inexpensive to manufacture.

The object of the invention is achieved by an insole characterized by what is claimed.

The insole according to the invention comprises one or more removable portions of removable attachment to the holes, comprising two or more raised portions connected to the underside. In this case, the spacing of the raised part, i.e. the spacing of the holes (raster), is made much denser than in a system of the same size based on individual studs. Thus, the insole can take into account and provide an insole that takes into account and combines a sufficiently large surface area (i.e., low surface pressure) tolerated by the tissue and the necessary densities of movement of the tabs 20. In the insole according to the invention, the desired area of action and area of action of a single stud is greater than its application density. In other words, the surface of the raised face and its frequency of movement are made independent of each other. With a dense moving screen, the treatment point can be fine-tuned individually to the right position, meaning that the user can adjust and position the pop-up just at the desired position, δ

The rows of holes in the insole are preferably marked with numbers and / or letters. This provides a clear and easy to use raster network.

The insole according to the invention is advantageously made and may also be made of non-breathable material if the gap is sufficiently dense.

The invention will now be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 illustrates an embodiment of the insole according to the invention and the raised portion thereof, obliquely viewed from the rear, and Figures 2-4 show different views of the raised portions.

Figure 1 shows an insole 1 with holes 2 of equal size at regular intervals 10 apart. These holes form a raster, with adjacent holes spaced apart. The parallel rows of the holes 2 of the insole are denoted by numbers 1-40 and the rows of the opposite direction are indicated by the letters A-R at the edges of the insole.

In addition, the insole comprises one or more removably attached co-15 studs 3 which are removably secured to the holes 2. The protrusions are spaced from the holes in the insole and the diameter of the protrusions corresponds to the diameter of the holes or may be slightly smaller. The raised portions can be placed under the insole 20 as shown in Figure 1 and the projections can be pressed through the holes in the insole so that they extend slightly above the upper surface of the insole.

In the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2, the number of tabs or pins is ^ seven. In the embodiment of Fig. 3, the number of raised or studs is four. In the embodiment of Figure 4, the number of tabs or pins is § 25 five.

i ^ The number of pop-ups may vary from application to application. The tabs can be linked together with different motion raster. There may be, for example, two, three, four, five or any other number of ribs substantially connected from the underside K of the ribs together. Their number is at least two, preferably e.g. 30, but may be up to ten or more. It is essential that the common effective surface area of the pins C 1 is suitable relative to the human weight and that the range of movement is smaller than the one-piece shape corresponding to this effective surface area. The base of the raised portion may be polygonal, taking into account the holes between the insoles.

The height of the plugs or studs can also vary and can be made at different heights. In this case, the user can select the most suitable height for the plugs and / or change the plunger section to another height.

Suitable elastic material is used as the sole material. 5 The raised part is made of a suitable plastic or rubber material or other material.

The invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments shown, but may vary within the scope of the inventive idea of the claims.
