Abstract
An insole (1) to be adapted into a shoe, said insole consisting of several layers; an upper covering layer (3) permeable to moisture, and a lower covering layer (7) impermeable to moisture, and between these at least one absorbent layer (5, 6), consisting of soft cellulose mass or other absorbent material in the form of granules, chips or a mass of wet strength tissue paper (6). In the lower surface of the lower covering layer (7) there is at least one adhesive area (8), covered by a removable, protective membrane (9).
Description
Insole of footwear
The present invention concerns an insole to be adapted into a shoe, said insole consisting of several layers.
It is known in the art to use removable insoles in shoes. These insoles known in the art are, however, principally meant for thermal insulation and no attention has been paid to the damp proofing. Further, they are no throwaway products but meant for a longer use.
The insole in accordance with the present invention is characterized in that it has an upper covering layer permeable to moisture and a lower covering layer impermeable to moisture, and between those at least one absorbing layer.
Insoles in accordance with the present invention have many considerable advantages in use. They act as moisture proofing and increase the hygiene of the footwear decreasing epidermophytosis and other dirt in the shoes and protecting the shoes e.g. against the perspiration.
As well smell as allergic problems are avoided by means of them. In use, the damp proofing insoles give a pleasant feeling in shoes by absorbing the moisture coming from the feet in all situations at all times of the year.
They improve the health by keeping the feet dry and thus preventing i.a. diseases caused by a cold. The insoles in accordance with the invention are thin and unnoticeable fitting in all kinds of shoes.
They are throwaway products and easily changed every day, if necessary even more often, and easily disposable. The product in accordance with the invention can be sold in shops and markets as daily perishable goods e.g. in packages of 10 to 30 pairs.
The present invention will be now described in more detail in the following, with reference to the enclosed drawings, wherein
Figure 1 shows a top view of an insole in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 shows the same viewed from the side.
Figure 3 shows an enlarged detail of figure 2,
Figure 4 shows an enlarged cross sectional view of the damp proofing insole in accordance with the invention, and
Figure 5 shows an alternative detail of figure 4.
The outline of the insole 1 providing damp proofing of feet is designed so that it fits inside a shoe. The insole is formed of several layers, joined together e.g. by pressing.
The top layer is made of non-woven fibre fabric 3.
Below this there can be a perforated membrane of polyethylene 4 (figure 5), but the insole can also be made without any membrane 4 (figure 4) . The following layer is a first absorbing layer 5 consisting of soft cellulose substance. Under that there is a second absorbing layer 6 consisting e.g. of 3 wet strength paper towels, e.g. tissues. Beneath them there is a membrane of polyethylene as a bottom layer 7. Applied on the lower surface of the polyethylene membrane, 7 there are from 3 to 4 adhesive tape stripes
8, by means of which the damp proofing insole is attached to the bottom of the shoe. As the lowermost cover there is a paper stripe 9 with a wax surface to be removed before taking the insole into use.
The most preferable embodiments of the present invention are described above. However, the invention is not limited only to those but it can be varied within the claims. Instead of the non-woven fibre fabric, also some other material that is permeable to moisture and simultaneously rubbing resistant enough can be used.
s the lowermost cover there can be some other material impermeable to moisture instead of polyethylene. The absorbing layer can consist of some other material than the cellulose substance and wet strength paper.
