JP2002085103A - Shoe/insole with forced ventilation function - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shoe/insole with forced ventilation pumps for preventing a nasty smell of a foot caused by wetting inside and harm by athlete's foot and making the inside of shoes more clean and comfortable. SOLUTION: This shoe/insole is equipped with forced suction pumps (3), (4) and forced exhaust pumps (1), (2) in the inside. An inlet valve (9) and an outlet valve (7) are equipped to the ventilation port (5) side communicated with each pump. An outlet valve (6) and an inlet valve (8) are equipped to the toe side. Pumps and valves to the ventilation port sides are communicated by ventilation pipes respectively. Sponge, etc., (10) as the source of restoration force are put in the inside of pumps to act as suction force. Cloth (11) with comfortable skin touch is spread on the surface in contact with a foot and an adhesive (12) is used on the sole side. Such a structure enables each pump to automatically and forcibly suck and exhaust air by movement of grounding pressure of a foot and action of sponge (10) of the restoration material inside the pump, and one-way inlet valves and outlet valves (6), (7) by walking.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to shoes, such as boots, safety shoes, boots, etc., which are provided with a forced intake / exhaust function in order to prevent adverse effects such as foot odor and athlete's foot due to stuffiness of the whole shoes, and insoles and shoes. Incorporating this device into the shoe body at the time of manufacture can produce a simple and healthy shoe.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Some shoes and insoles which attempt to obtain air permeability in the past are forced to consider the intake, but the exhaust is hindered by the waterproofness of the shoes. However, all are left to natural exhaust, and as a result, ventilation is inadequate and stuffiness cannot be prevented, and it cannot be said that shoes and insoles are highly breathable.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to efficiently ventilate hot and humid indoor air and fresh outdoor air in a narrow closed room in shoes in this narrow space, and to efficiently ventilate the air. Was.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An intake pump (3) (4) and an exhaust pump (1) (2) shown in FIG.
An inflow valve (9) and an outflow valve (7) are provided on the side of the vent (5) leading to each pump, and an outflow valve (6) and an inflow valve (8) are provided on the toe side of the foot. A sponge or the like (10) as a restoring material is put in each pump to act as a suction force, and a cloth (11) is used on a surface in contact with a foot and an adhesive (12) is used on a shoe sole side. The present invention forcibly ventilates the shoes by the above-mentioned structure, thereby preventing a foot odor and athlete's foot.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS (A) In FIG. 1, (1) and (2) are automatic forced exhaust pumps, and (3) and (4) are automatic forced suction pumps. It is an assembly of two pumps. (B) In the automatic forced exhaust pumps (1) and (2), an inflow valve (8) is provided on the toe of the shoe, and an outflow valve (7) is provided inside a ventilation hole (5) that contacts the outside at the entrance of the foot. Therefore, this pump discharges the hot and humid air inside the shoe to the outside. (C) The automatic forced suction pumps (3) and (4) are provided with an inflow valve (9) inside a ventilation port (5) which passes through the ventilation pipe (13) and comes into contact with the outside at the entrance of the foot, and an outflow valve (6). ) Is provided at the toe of the shoe through the air pipe (13), so that this pump draws in fresh outside air into the shoe. (D) The ventilation pipe (13) is arranged in a place where pressure of the foot around the arch and shoes is not applied to prevent deformation of the pipe and secure ventilation. (E) As a restoring material for each of the four pumps, a strong elasticity, a sponge having many gaps or a fine cotton-like chemical fiber (10) is used to increase the suction force. (F) Cover the surface in contact with the foot with a non-slip cloth that does not impair the breathability of cotton or linen cloth that is gentle to the foot, and secure it to the shoe with an adhesive or double-sided tape on the side that contacts the shoe body. The present invention has the above configuration. The invention is based on the invention that, during walking, with the pressure of the heel of the foot on the ground, the automatic forced suction pumps (3), (4) are activated, releasing fresh air from the outflow valve (6) to the shoe toe, When the landing pressure of the foot moves to the toes due to the movement of the body weight, the pump starts to inhale fresh fresh air from the vent (5) leading to the outside air and the inflow valve (9) following it, and starts inhaling the fresh air until the heel lands again. State. When the contact pressure is applied to the toe, the automatic forced exhaust pumps (1) and (2) discharge the hot and humid air inside the shoe from the outflow valve (7) to the outside through the vent (5). Then, when the foot floats in the air, the inhalation valve (8) on the toe starts to inhale the hot and humid inside air accumulated inside the shoe, and the state of intake is maintained until pressure is applied to the toe again. By repeating this operation, the intake and exhaust can be automatically and forcibly performed while walking.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the hot and humid inside air inside the shoe can be completely converted into fresh outside air. This keeps your toes clean and cool all the time,
Prevents unpleasant odor and athlete's foot from stuffiness In addition, since the entire sole of the foot can walk on an air mat state on average, fatigue of the foot can be prevented.

Claims (3)

[Claims] 1. Forefoot odor and athlete's foot due to stuffiness inside shoes by forcibly taking in outside air into the tip of shoes or insole, and forcibly discharging remaining inside air to outside. It is a shoe with a forced intake and exhaust function and an insole for the purpose of preventing air pollution. 2. The forced intake / exhaust function is composed of intake pumps (3) and (4) and exhaust pumps (1) and (2), and the intake pumps (3) and (4) are provided with blower pipes (13).
Through the outflow valve (6) inside the shoe and the ventilation pipe (13) to the inflow valve (9) in the external vent (5), and the exhaust pumps (1) and (2) to the external vent (5). Through the outflow valve (7) and the inflow valve (8) inside the shoe, the respective pumps are operated to forcibly intake and exhaust air. 3. The inflow valves (8), (9) and the outflow valves (6), (7) used as one-way valves are powered by the movement of the contact pressure of the entire sole of the foot due to walking. It automatically opens and closes according to the increase and decrease of the contact pressure, whereby the automatic forced suction pumps (3) and (4) and the automatic forced exhaust pumps (1) and (2) are provided.
