Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for restoring or maintaining the soundness of human bodies and a high sharpness of sensory nerves wherein the creation of an environment making toes easier to move allows moving of muscles related thereto to stimulate acupressure spots concentrated on the toes and the sole of feet strengthening the muscles so that the meridian of the body is further activated to stimulate individual acupressure spots linked by the meridian eventually leading to the sufficient development of functions of organs dispersed entirely through the human body while a friction effect obtained by various protrusions arranged at specified sites promotes the blood circulation of peripheral blood vessels. SOLUTION: The tip of each babe of the sandals (including slippers and straw sandals) are cut short properly so that the middle parts and roots of the toes are exposed from the tip of the base. Various protrusions are arranged along the trimmed tips of the sandals and a user walks so as to hold the protrusions in firmly with the roots and the middle parts of the toes.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a health sandal for promoting the health of the whole human body by activating the movement of toes (meaning the toes).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, sandals (footwear) are designed to protect the foot by making the platform slightly larger than the area of the sole and stably placing the foot on the platform. As a rare example, sandals that cut the heel of the table are marketed for cosmetic purposes such as cleaning the legs of women, and large or small warts are provided on part or the entire surface of the table, Health sandals intended for promotion are also commercially available.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] If the history of footwear is traced, the focus gradually shifts from the purpose of simply protecting the foot to the appearance, especially in the modern society where shoes are in full swing.
Fashion has come to be a top priority over its protection. For this reason, designs that ignore the healthy condition of the toes and soles where important acupoints that are the source of vitality are concentrated are rampant. This is especially true for women's tapered high heels. In such a society where shoes are in full swing, the toes are constantly squeezed from all directions, from front to back and left and right, and there is no time to be released. In shoes, the toes do not move.

[0004] Although the importance of using fingers is said to be various, the importance of moving toes has been overlooked so far, and life without moving toes may lead to a decline in the function of the whole body. Some experts point out that there is a possibility. Oriental medicine values the movement of the toes as much as the fingers. The human body has an energy pathway called the meridian,
Healthy life activities are carried out by smoothing the flow. It is said that half of the meridians begin at the toes and end at the toes.

In addition, the senses (eyes, nose,
There are many important acupoints and stimulus bands related to the ears, etc., and by stimulating those portions, it is possible to activate the sensory nerves of human instinct for self-defense. The meridian is a communication network that connects points that are scattered throughout the body.

[0006] It is said that the source of power when a person acts is mainly in the three toes: the toes of the foot, the ring toe, and the toes. It is rooted in the idea of revitalizing the meridians that spread throughout the body by squeezing the body, making each organ of the body work smoothly, and keeping the whole body healthy.

In recent years, it is said that human motor functions tend to deteriorate year by year. The cause is that shoes are worn for a long time. Many experts point out that this has prevented healthy growth of sole muscles and degraded them to the arches, which are said to have a major effect on human motor function. .

A little while ago, on a daytime program on Nippon Television (Malmar TV), as a trainer of Kashiwa Reysol (soccer team), it takes five minutes a day to grab the ground (floor) with your feet. It has been told that when walking like a caterpillar (caterpillar walking), the sensory sensors on the feet become sharper. It is worth noting that the importance of the effect of the movement of the toes on the sensory nerves has been emphasized. This is exactly the same as the gist of the present invention, and releasing the toes strengthens the sensory nerves of the feet.

[0009] It is said that in the past, people who used to spend their daily lives on a walaj or barefoot felt sensory nerves that acted immediately to avoid any abnormalities in their feet. Actually, even though I remembered my childhood (I was born in 1944), I flew around barefoot and played a lot, but I was able to grow up without much injuries. It is considered that only sensory nerves were nourished in nature.

When observing the movement of a toe when a person walks, the movement of the toe when kicking up is a movement that warps upward, and movement in this direction is common on a daily basis. Almost none. Therefore, the movement of the muscles of the soles (especially the arch part) is in a state of being biased only in the direction of extension. Correcting the bias to rebalance the growth of the sole muscles is the focus of the present invention.

[0011]

Means for Solving the Problems If the tip of the base of the sandals is shortened so that the base of each toe protrudes from the tip of the base of the sandals, the toes can be easily moved downward, and the base of each toe and the toe belly can be moved. The edge of the tongue naturally holds the part, and as a result, the part and the tongue rub against each other, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation. In this case, if the cut forms a curve along the base of each toe of the foot, the stimulation by friction becomes more effective.

[0012]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The sandals of the present invention are similar to other open footwear, except that the tip of the platform is shortened so that the edge hits the joint of the base of the toe or the tongue.
It aims to make the tip of the toe more easily downward, thereby strengthening the muscles of the toes and soles of the foot, promoting blood circulation by the friction effect, and activating the action of the meridians. Instead of shortening the platform, an appropriate height difference (8) may be provided in the corresponding portion of the platform, and a toe (9) may be provided below the platform to protect the toes.

In order to amplify the effect of the sandals, various projections as described in the claims are provided along the tip of the shortened base, and the projections push up the joints at the base of the toes from below. The tip of the toe
Naturally, the base of the toe and the tongue embrace the protrusion, and the protrusion rubs the tongue.

[0014] As described in claim 2, along the edge of the tip of the platform, at several places opposing each other under each toe,
If a projection with a spherical surface (hereinafter referred to as a spherical body) is provided, the spherical body will enter the base of each toe, and each toe will embrace the spherical body, even in view of its positional relationship. If you walk in such a state, the surface of the spherical body will rub against the tongue of each toe and the back inner court part facing the part, and its stimulating effect will promote blood circulation of the feet, activate sensory nerves and meridians, etc. Make a great contribution to The component material has a higher friction effect when the surface is hard, and the effect is amplified if the surface is roughened. The root of the back side (heel side) of the attachment part of the spherical body is effective in stimulating the part of the back inner yard when the hem is pulled long like Mt.

[0015] As described in claim 3, a plurality of warp-shaped projections may be provided along the edge of the tip of the table.
It changes the shape to a strong stimulus and amplifies the effect
By changing the thickness (about 2 to 4 mm) and the height (about 5 to 20 mm), the intensity of stimulation can be adjusted. Others The projection of the kamaboko type (4) according to claim 4 (the width of the base is 5 to 5).
However, the width and height of these various projections (including spherical bodies) are gradually reduced from the first toe (parent toe) to the fifth toe.

If the various projections as described above are arranged along the curve formed by the base of the toes and the belly of the toes, it is more effective and comfortable to wear.

[0017] Further, in the case where the wall-like body (7) as described in claim 5 is provided, the wall-like body enters between the toes and is pressed against the upper of the shoe. Push the gaps between the almost lost toes to open the toes out of the stress of the day. Note that this wall-shaped body is more effective when used in combination with the various projections described above. This wall-like body (7) can be attached to each toe up to four with appropriate size. The shape is preferably a long ellipse having an irregular cross section (about 30 to 40 mm in the long direction and about 3 to 8 mm in the short direction).

Since these sandals are footwear used for training indoors, it is desirable to avoid using them outdoors. However, when used outdoors, various protrusions as described in claim 6 may be provided at a predetermined portion, and a toe portion (9) with a step or a slope provided at the tip thereof may be used outdoors. It can withstand use.

Further, if various projections are provided along predetermined curves at predetermined positions (positions corresponding to the base of each toe or the tongue of each toe) of the ordinary sandals in which the tip of the base is not shortened, the protrusions are The root of the toe is pushed up from below, and the tip of the toe naturally turns downward. Although there are differences in the effects themselves, some effects can be expected.

The feature of the present invention is that the tongue and the base of each tongue protrude from the tip of the sandal. Therefore, it is easy to see when walking with this sandal. All toes will naturally bend downwards, as if holding a sandal table. This is an instinctive movement that naturally comes into force at the tip of the toe,
This places the muscles and sensory nerves in tension in tension (this is important). If you walk in this state, when kicking, the toes will go down the floor while extending the bent toe,
Immediately after kicking, each toe will bend down to hold its platform so as not to drop the sandals floating in the air.

As described above, wearing these sandals allows the sole muscles, which were used only in the direction of extension when wearing shoes, to continuously expand and contract, resulting in a great effect on human motor function. The arch muscles, which are said to hold, also expand and contract in tune, and their growth grows. It is self-evident that the effects of muscle movement, such as its growth and activation of its function, are self-evident, and it is excellent for treating and preventing flat feet, which is said to be common in modern people.

The same applies to the hallux valgus, which is said to be an adverse effect of the shoes. The toes pressed against the shoes for a long time are kept in the same state repeatedly every day without taking a recovery exercise even after removing the shoes. Will worsen. However, if the sandals according to the present invention are used even for a short time after returning home, a preventive effect can be expected, although it varies depending on the symptom, and the effect is expected especially for a wall type.

From a completely different point of view, if the muscles of the toes and soles are activated by wearing these sandals, they naturally affect the muscles of the ankles and calves that work together, and the effect is increased from the thighs to the internal organs. It is transmitted by the meridians spread all over the body and stimulates each acupoint connected to it to activate the action of each organ. This has the effect of maintaining physical health, such as promoting blood circulation, activating sensory nerves, and activating the action of each organ. That is why the toes and soles are said to dominate the basis of a healthy life.

There are many acupoints and stimulating bands in the toes of the toes that activate the sensory nerves (eyes, ears, nose, etc.) and the pituitary gland (hormones coming out affect the autonomic nerves). Over-protection by wearing shoes activates the effects of the blunted modern human sensory nerves and the autonomic nerves weakened by stress, and restores the self-defense sensitivity inherent in living things .
