JP3070173U - Footwear such as slippers and sandals - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide footwear such as slippers, sandals, etc., which have a soft touch to the sole of the foot, do not hurt the foot, and can stimulate acupressure points on the sole to obtain a shiatsu effect. . SOLUTION: A plastic air mat 5 having a large number of hollow convex portions 7 provided on a base sheet portion 6 has a bottom 1.
The air mat 5 is covered with a surface covering member 8 capable of transmitting the contact pressure of the hollow convex portion 7 of the air mat 5 to the sole of the foot.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to footwear such as slippers and sandals.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, sandals are known in which a number of warp-shaped projections are provided on the bottom surface so that the acupoints on the soles of the feet can be acupressured.

[0003] Furthermore, conventional slippers use a material having cushioning properties such as urethane as a bottom core member to soften the tactile sensation of the soles of the feet. A shiatsu effect could not be obtained.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention has both the advantages of the above-mentioned sandals and the advantages of the slippers, that is, the touch to the sole of the foot is soft, the foot does not hurt, and the acupressure point is obtained by stimulating the acupoint of the sole. The task is to provide footwear such as slippers and sandals that can be used.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the footwear such as the slippers and the sandals of the present invention includes a plastic air mat 5 having a large number of hollow projections 7 provided on a base sheet 6 and a core member 3 having a bottom 1. 4 and the air mat 5 is covered with a surface covering member 8 capable of transmitting the contact pressure of the hollow convex portion 7 of the air mat 5 to the sole of the foot. It is.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the figure shows a slipper as an example of the embodiment, and the present invention is of course not limited to this.

As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom 1 is formed by stacking various core members 3 and 4 on a substrate 2, laying an air mat 5 on the core members 3 and 4, The upper surface is covered with a surface covering member 8.

The air mat 5 has a structure in which a number of hollow projections 7 are provided on a base sheet portion 6 and is formed of a plastic having appropriate flexibility. In addition, although the shape of the hollow convex part 7 is a column shape in the figure, the shape of the hollow convex part 7 is free and is not limited to this. That is, the air mat 5 has the same structure as a so-called air cap used as a cushioning material or the like.

By the way, in the case of an air cap, there is a possibility that the air convex 5 may burst when a load is applied to the hollow convex portion. However, the air mat 5 of the present invention is slightly thicker than the air cap, has higher strength, and weighs a person. Even if it is applied, the hollow convex portion 7 has pressure resistance that does not burst. It also has cushioning properties like an air cap.

The material of the surface covering member 8 that covers the air mat 5 is free and can be arbitrarily selected from, for example, cloth, leather, plastic sheet, and the like. Further, although the surface covering member 8 is shown as a single layer in the figure, it can be combined with other materials to form a plurality of layers. However, since the surface covering member 8 can transmit the contact pressure of the hollow convex portion 7 in the air mat 5 to the sole of the foot, the surface covering member 8 should not be too thick. In addition, the contact pressure means the pressure received from the object when the object is touched.

Although two kinds of core members 3 and 4 are used in the figure, the material and number of the core members are arbitrary. It is preferable that the core members 3 and 4 have appropriate hardness such that the air mat 5 does not sink. This is because if the air mat 5 sinks, the effect of the hollow projections 7 described later is diminished.

[0012]

[Effect of the invention]

 The structure of the footwear such as the slippers and sandals of the present invention is as described above, and the hollow convex portions 7 of the air mat 5 provided in the sole 1 stimulate the acupoints on the soles of the feet, so that an acupressure effect can be obtained. In addition, since the air mat 5 also has an air cushion effect, the touch to the sole of the foot is soft, and the sole of the foot does not hurt. Furthermore, since the air mat 5 is excellent in heat retention and the soles of the feet do not become cold, in combination with the acupressure effect described above, the blood circulation of the soles of the feet is promoted and health is brought.
