Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

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

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, various so-called so-called health sandals having various projections on the surface of the bottom of the footwear have been developed and put on the market. For example, there are those described in Jikken 3-47522, Jikho 56-8483, Jikkou 55-38406 and the like.

The footwear such as sandals and slippers described in these publications has a large number of protrusions provided on the surface of the footwear bottom as described above. By wearing these footwear, The protrusions stimulate the pressure points on the soles of the feet. This stimulation activates each part of the body that communicates with the acupoints of the foot, which can have a positive effect on the body and lead to healing by long-term use.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, acupuncture points on a person's foot are not necessarily located only on the sole of the foot, and there are many acupuncture points that activate various parts of the body in the instep part of the foot. However, the conventional footwear called healthy sandals has only the projections that stimulate the acupuncture points on the surface of the bottom member that constitutes the bottom of the footwear, as described above. I was not able to stimulate the acupuncture points on the part. Therefore, it is impossible to expect more effective results than the current situation with the health sandals that are currently on the market.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to make it possible to stimulate the acupoints on the instep of the foot so that the acupuncture points not on the soles of the feet. By stimulating the body, it is possible to activate parts of the body that were not possible with conventional health sandals, etc.Also, when wearing it, it is possible to stimulate the acupuncture points on the instep as well as the acupoints on the soles of the feet. , To provide footwear such as sandals that can activate more body parts at the same time.

[0006]

[Means for solving the problem]

 Therefore, the present invention has the following configuration in order to achieve the above object. That is, in the footwear including at least the instep cover portion covering the instep and the foot sole, the acupressure protrusion is provided in the instep cover portion in contact with the instep.

In addition, in footwear including at least an instep cover portion that covers the instep of the foot and a footwear bottom portion, the acupressure protrusion is provided on a portion of the instep cover portion that is in contact with the instep foot of the footwear bottom portion. .

[0008]

[Action]

 In the footwear such as the sandals according to the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, since the acupressure protrusion is provided on the instep cover portion which contacts the instep of the foot, the instep cover portion when the footwear is worn. The acupressure protrusions provided on the acupuncture points stimulate the acupuncture points distributed on the instep of the foot.

Further, in the footwear such as sandals of the present invention as set forth in claim 2, since the acupressure protrusion is provided on the upper surface of the footwear and at the portion of the instep covering portion that contacts the instep of the foot, When footwear is put on, the acupuncture points on the sole of the foot are stimulated by the projections on the upper surface of the footwear, and at the same time, the acupressure points distributed on the instep are stimulated by the acupressure projections provided on the instep cover.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a sandal which is an embodiment of the footwear according to the present invention. The sandal 1 is a footwear bottom 2 formed by an elastic member in a predetermined shape as shown, and the footwear bottom 2. 2 and the instep cover 3 provided in the front part. The instep cover portion 3 is configured such that when the sandals 1 are worn, the instep cover portion inner surface 3a contacts the instep portion of the foot. On the inner surface 3a of the instep cover portion, a large number of protrusions 4 formed in a convex shape made of hard resin are provided so as to contact the instep of the sandal 1 when the sandal 1 is worn. The size and shape of the protrusion 4 and the width, shape, and material of the instep cover 3 may be changed in various ways. Further, the distribution of the protrusions 4 provided on the inner surface 3a of the instep covering portion may be provided on the entire surface of the inner surface 3a of the instep covering portion or may be provided only at a desired position.

In the sandal 1 configured as described above, when worn, the instep part of the foot abuts the inner surface 3a of the instep cover part 3 through the projections 4, and each projection 4 is insteps of the instep. It is possible to activate each part of the body that is affected by stimulating by contacting each acupoint distributed on the part of the body and stimulating the acupoint on the instep.

3 to 4 show a sandal 5 according to another embodiment. The sandal 5 is similar to the sandal 5 in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the footwear bottom 2 formed into a predetermined shape by an elastic member as shown in the drawing. It comprises an instep cover 3 provided at the front of the footwear bottom 2. The upper cover portion 3 is designed so that the inner surface 3a of the upper cover portion comes into contact with the upper portion of the foot when the sandals 1 are worn, as in the above-described embodiment. On the inner surface 3a of the instep cover portion, a large number of protrusions 4 formed in a convex shape made of hard resin are provided so as to contact the instep of the sandal 1 when the sandal 1 is worn. Further, projections 6 are also provided at predetermined positions on the upper surface 2a of the foot sole 2, so that when the sandals 5 are worn, the projections 6 can stimulate acupoints distributed on the soles of the feet.

In the sandal 5 having the above-described structure, the acupuncture points distributed on the sole of the foot as described above when worn are stimulated by the protrusions 6 provided on the upper surface 2a of the foot sole 2. Since the foot part is stimulated by the protrusions 4 provided on the inner surface 3a of the instep cover 3, more acupoints distributed on the foot can be stimulated, and the acupoint stimulation therapy is more effectively performed on the body. be able to.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but the present invention can be applied not only to sandals but also to any footwear. For example, in the case of shoes, protrusions may also be provided on the parts that come into contact with parts other than the instep and the sole of the foot so that parts other than the upper part and the sole of the foot can be stimulated simultaneously.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 As is apparent from the above description, the footwear such as sandals of the present invention has the acupressure protrusion on the instep cover portion that contacts the instep of the foot. Acupressure protrusions can stimulate acupoints distributed on the instep, and can stimulate acupuncture points that are not on the sole of the foot, thus activating parts of the body that cannot be obtained by stimulation of the acupoint on the sole of the foot. Can be encouraged.

Further, since a projection for acupressure is provided at the portion of the instep cover portion that contacts the instep of the foot together with the upper surface of the footwear sole, when the footwear is worn, the projection on the upper surface of the footwear bottom causes the acupoint of the sole of the foot. Is stimulated, and at the same time, the acupressure protrusions provided on the instep cover also stimulate the acupoints distributed on the instep of the foot, thereby activating more body parts.
