2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, like the health sandals described in Patent Document 1, there are footwear in which a protrusion is provided at a position corresponding to an acupuncture point on the bottom surface and the protrusion is stimulated by pushing the sole of the foot by walking.
In addition, an air chamber is provided on the upper surface of the sandal base as described in Patent Document 2 by joining an upper surface member formed in the shape of a sink using an elastic material to the bottom plate, thereby providing cushioning properties. There is an elevated sandal.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-72403 (summary, FIG. 1, FIG. 3) Utility Model Registration No. 3036281 (Claims 2, 0006, FIGS. 1 and 2)

The footwear such as the health sandals described in Patent Document 1 has no cushioning property, and since the protrusion is for pushing the sole, there is a certain degree of hardness. The soles hurt and I cannot walk for a long time.
Moreover, the protrusion of an unnecessary location cannot be removed from time to time.

The sandal as described in Patent Document 2 is such that the upper plate-shaped upper surface member is moved by the foot pressing part by walking, so that air moves in the empty plate-shaped empty room and the cushioning property is improved. The joint between the dish-shaped top member and the sandal base must be made dense.
Even if the joint is made dense, it is easy to form a gap in the joint part by repeated use, air leaks from the gap during walking, and air flows slowly through the gap from the outside, so cushioning properties are lost .

  The plate is provided with one or more recesses, one or more magnets are housed in the bottoms of the respective recesses, a protrusion is provided on the upper surface of the base portion, and the lower surface is the same as the pole above the magnet in the recess. Inserting the protrusion of the magnet as a pole into the hole from the lower surface side of the upper sheet made of an elastic sheet provided with a hole through which the protrusion of the magnet can be inserted at a position corresponding to the point on the sole of the foot The tip portion protrudes to the upper surface side, the upper surface of the base portion is brought into contact with the lower surface side of the upper sheet, and the lower sheet made of an elastic sheet is stacked from the lower surface side of the upper sheet with the base portion of the magnet interposed therebetween, A top plate is formed by being fixedly or detachably locked, and the top plate covers the concave portion with the lower sheet side down, and is fixed to the upper surface of the plate and detachably locked to the bottom of the healthy footwear. Or insole.

  The plate is provided with one or more recesses, one or more magnets are housed in the bottoms of the respective recesses, a protrusion is provided on the upper surface of the base portion, and the lower surface is the same as the pole above the magnet on the recess bottom. The magnet, which is a pole, is inserted into the hole from the lower surface side of the top plate made of an elastic sheet provided with a hole through which the protrusion of the magnet can be inserted at a position corresponding to the point on the sole. The tip part protrudes to the upper surface side, the upper surface of the base part is brought into contact with the lower surface side of the top plate, and is fixed or not fixed. The recess is covered and fixed to the upper surface of the plate so as to be fixed or detachable to form a bottom or insole of healthy footwear.

  The plate is provided with one or more recesses, one or more magnets are housed in the bottoms of the respective recesses, a protrusion is provided on the upper surface of the base portion, and the lower surface is the same as the pole above the magnet on the recess bottom. It is possible to move up and down from the lower surface side of the top plate made of a plate provided with a hole through which the protrusion of the magnet can be inserted at a position corresponding to the point on the sole of the sole of the magnet as a pole. And the top end of the base plate protrudes to the upper surface side, the upper surface of the base portion is brought into contact with the lower surface side of the top plate, the top plate covers the concave portion with the base portion of the magnet down, The bottom or insole of healthy footwear is secured to the upper surface of the bottom plate so as to be fixed or detachable.

  The space above the magnet at the bottom of the recess may be filled with an elastic body capable of passing magnetic force.

  When walking with footwear using the bottom or insole according to the present invention with the upper magnet fixed to the top plate, the weight shifts from the heel to the toe, and the top plate is pushed sequentially. However, the projection of the magnet at the position of the top plate to be pressed pushes the sole and stimulates it, improving blood circulation of the sole. And since the top plate is made of an elastic sheet, when it is pressed with the sole, the top plate is lowered by its elasticity, so the force to push the sole of the protrusion decreases, but when the top plate is lowered, the upper and lower magnets Approaches and repels and pushes the upper magnet upward, so that the tip of the upper magnet's protrusion always presses the sole of the foot appropriately. Therefore, it is possible to walk for a long time without damaging the soles. Moreover, since the upper magnet pushes the top plate upward at that time, the cushioning property is good.

  When walking with footwear using the bottom or insole according to the present invention with the upper magnet not fixed to the top plate, the weight shifts from the heel to the toe, and the top plate is pushed sequentially. However, the projection of the magnet at the position of the top plate to be pressed stimulates the sole by pushing the sole, but the projection of the magnet on the top plate pressed by the sole is pushed by the sole and is in the recess. The base part is lowered in the direction, and the pressing force of the sole by the protrusion is weakened. However, the base part is repelled by approaching the magnet at the bottom of the recess, the magnet 4 is pushed upward, and the tip of the protrusion 6 touches the sole. Press moderately. Magnetic force from the magnet improves the circulation of the soles.

  Furthermore, the bottom or insole where the top plate is detachably locked to the plate can be removed by removing the top plate and removing the magnets at some locations to provide protrusions only at the desired locations, or with moderate repulsion. The magnet that presses the sole can be selected and replaced. Thereby, even if it walks for a long time, a sole does not become painful.

The bottom of the healthy footwear shown in FIG. 1 has the following configuration. That is, the concave portion 2 is provided on the upper surface of the main bottom 1. One magnet 3 is loosely fitted in the recess 2, or is fixed to the bottom surface of the recess 2 or is detachably locked using a locking tool such as a hook-and-loop fastener. The magnet 4 opposed to the magnet 3 at the bottom of the recess 2 is provided with an upward protrusion 6 on the base 5. The lower pole of the base 5 is the same as the upper pole of the magnet 3 at the bottom of the recess 2.
The bottom 1 is formed of an elastic material that is generally used.

The top plate 7 has a two-layer structure and includes an upper sheet 7a and a lower sheet 7b which are elastic sheets. The lower sheet 7b is formed of a material that transmits magnetic force. The upper sheet 7a is provided with a hole 8 through which the protrusion 6 of the magnet 4 can be inserted at a position corresponding to the acupoint on the sole.
The tip of the protrusion 6 of the magnet 4 is inserted into the hole 8 from below the upper sheet 7a so that the tip of the protrusion 6 protrudes from the upper surface of the upper sheet 7a, and the upper surface of the base part 5 is the hole 8 of the upper sheet 7a. The lower sheet 7b is placed on the lower surface of the upper sheet 7a, the base part 5 of the magnet 4 is sandwiched, and the upper sheet 7a and the lower sheet 7b are fixed by a method such as adhesion or sewing. Alternatively, it is detachably locked using a locking tool such as a hook-and-loop fastener or a hook.
The tip surface of the protrusion 6 is a spherical surface. The planar shape of the protrusion 6 and the base portion 5 may be circular or polygonal.
Covering the upper part of the recess 2 on the lower sheet 7b side of the top plate 7 composed of the upper sheet 7a and the lower part 7b sandwiching the base part 5 of the magnet 4, and fixing the lower sheet 4b to the upper surface of the outsole 1 in a detachable manner To do.
Instead of the base part 5, a retaining part such as a protrusion may be provided.

The top plate 7 may be used in combination with the magnet 4 having the protrusion 6 and the magnet 3 having no protrusion 6.
The space above the magnet 3 at the bottom of the recess 2 may be filled with an elastic body that does not hinder the repulsion of the magnet, such as a swung body such as urethane foam, rubber, or the like.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, you may abbreviate | omit the lower sheet | seat 7b of the bottom two-layer top plate shown in FIG. 1, and use only the upper sheet | seat 7a. In this case, the upper surface of the base portion 5 may or may not be bonded to the lower surface of the member 14a.

The material of the top plate 7 may be a plate made of wood, metal, plastic or the like instead of the elastic sheet. However, when the bottom 1 is made of an elastic material, it is bent somewhat during walking, so that the plate of the top plate 7 is also made of a material that bends according to the bending of the bottom 1.
When the bottom is a wooden bottom like a clog, it may be a plate made of a material that does not bend. In this case, the base part 5 is not bonded to the top plate 7a, and the holes 8 of the top plate 7a can be inserted so that the protrusions 6 can be transferred.

Walking using two layers of top plate 7 sandwiching the base 5 of the protrusion 4 between the upper seat 7a and the lower seat 7b, or footwear with the top 7 fixed to the lower surface of the base 7a. Then, the top plate is sequentially pushed from the toe portion of the sole toward the heel portion, and at this time, the protrusion 6 of the magnet 4 at the position corresponding to the sole portion pushing the top plate pushes the sole to stimulate. And since the protrusion 6 is pushed by the sole and falls in the recessed part 2 inward direction, the force which pushes the sole is reduced. However, when the protrusion 6 is pushed, the foot is pushed and stimulated, and when the protrusion 6 is pushed and falls in the concave portion 2, the base portion 5 approaches the magnet 3 on the inner bottom of the concave portion 2, so that it repels. The force always tries to lift the magnet 4, and the tip of the projection constantly stimulates the foot sole by pushing the sole appropriately.
At that time, the portion of the top plate 7 to which the magnet of the pushed projection is attached moves up and down to improve the cushioning property.

When the base portion 5 of the magnet 4 is not fixed to the top plate 7 (7a) at the bottom shown in FIG. 2, when the protrusion 6 is pushed on the sole by walking as shown in FIG. The part 5 is separated from the top plate 7 (7a) and descends in the direction of the magnet 3 at the bottom of the recess 2 and the protrusion 6 also descends, and the stimulation of the sole is temporarily weakened. Since 3 and 4 are repelled and the magnet 4 is lifted, the protrusion always pushes and stimulates the sole until there is no pressure on the sole.
At this time, when the protrusion 6 is pushed by the sole, the protrusion is lowered, the sole comes into contact with the top board 7 (7a), the sole presses the top board 7 (7a), and the top board 7 ( 7a) is pushed inward in the concave portion 2, and when the foot pressure by walking decreases, the top plate 7 (7a) is pushed upward by the base portion 5 of the magnet 4 due to the repulsion between the magnets 3 and 4, Good cushioning.

  The magnet 4 may be a magnet as a whole as shown in FIG. 4 (A), or as shown in FIG. 4 (B), the whole or lower part of the base part 5 is a magnet, and the lower surface side of the base part 5 is N poles and the upper side may be S poles, or they may be opposite poles. However, the pole on the lower surface side is the same as the pole on the upper surface of the magnet 3 arranged at the bottom of the recess.

  The recess 2 shown in FIG. 1 is one large one, but a plurality of recesses may be provided.

The magnet 3 shown in the figure is plate-shaped, but the entire surface of one side thereof may be S or N poles, or one side may have S poles and N poles alternately.
Further, the magnet is not limited to a plate-like object, and may have any shape such as a rod shape or a button shape.
A permanent magnet is preferably used as the magnet.

  In the case where the concave portion is large, it is preferable to use a plurality of magnets on the upper and lower sides to facilitate the refraction of the bottom 1 during walking.

  The recess may be covered with a top plate, and one or more may be provided from the front part to the collar part, or one or more may be provided in any one of the front part, the intermediate part, and the collar part.
