Description

MASSAGE SHOES

The invention relates to massage products and is intended for massage of the foot.

Known insert insole containing spikes that are installed with the possibility of rearrangement during wear to eliminate addiction and overdose of massage of certain reflex zones. Patent RU 2124303.

Known medical insole containing massage elements in the form of rolling elements, installed with the possibility of changing location during operation. Copyright certificate SU 1713580.

Known shoes in the sole of which are filled cells filled with sand, for the adoption of the individual shape of the foot of the user. According to the author, when filling the cells with coarse sand, a high massage effect will be ensured. International application WO200604940.

The above inventions do not provide for the possibility of a continuous change in the location of the massage elements, for example at each step, in order to completely eliminate the effect of addiction and pain during overdose of massage. Including in the case of filling the cells with coarse sand according to the international application WO200604940. Sand, including coarse-grained sand, massages well and extends under the foot when it lies freely and in a sufficiently thick layer. When the sand is in the recessed cells, with rhythmic pressing with each step, the sand will compact, grab and become a dense, solid mass, since each grain of sand has its own individual shape and roughness. These sand properties are based on its use for the manufacture of injection molds, as well as for sand sculptures.

A self-aligning orthopedic insole is known, containing a track and closed flexible chambers located above it, filled with a filler capable of continuously shaping in the form of plastic grains or powder, raw rubber, sand, a dried sponge, to hold and maintain the longitudinal and transverse arch of the foot. Copyright certificate SU 1281157. This self-aligning orthopedic insole does not provide for the possibility of foot massage with a continuous change in the location of the massage elements.

Known arch support made in the form of a rigid rigid filler in the form of balls of the chamber, divided into two cavities by a partition with an opening and a valve. Copyright certificate SU 1776394. This arch support involves massage of the underwater part of the foot in contact with the arch support, with the balls rolling continuously relative to each other while walking and pressure on the arch support with the foot. The chamber in contact with the underwater part of the foot is made of a tight elastic material, which undoubtedly limits the massage capabilities of this arch support. When moving the balls relative to each other in a cavity filled with balls, balls with a diameter of up to 3 mm are not able to make any real movement to effectively change the points of application of the massage effect. In addition, the arch support itself has a complex device and limits the massage effect to the underwater part of the foot, which needs massage much less than the supporting parts of the foot, which directly presses the body weight, and soft tissues, which therefore have difficulty in blood circulation and metabolism.

Known massage shoes containing the upper and the sole, made with an inner cavity between the upper and lower layers along the entire sole, partially filled with granular filler. Utility model patent RU 61517. “The proposed massage shoes are made in such a way that the cavity between the upper elastic layer and the lower layer of the sole is sufficient to fill up a relatively large amount of bulk material, which provides“ sinking ”of the toe when walking, as by analogy with walking on the sand. ”The disadvantage of this shoe is the need for a large amount of bulk material to create an effective massage effect on the foot. Since a thin layer of bulk material will be knocked down when striding into some corner of the cavity. Accordingly, shoes containing a large amount of bulk material will be bulky, heavy and unsuitable for continuous wear.

The objective of the invention is the creation of light massage shoes, suitable for long or constant wear, with a small number of massage elements that continuously change location on the entire surface of the foot, for example at each step, in order to completely eliminate the effect of addiction and pain during massage overdose.

The problem is solved in the proposed massage shoes containing a sole of a small thickness of elastic material with a smooth upper surface and spiked bottom surface, fixed around the perimeter of the sole of the insole containing convex flexible closed chambers, which are placed with the possibility of movement of the massage elements in the form of rolling elements, which are rounded smooth granules of solid material.

In order for the massage elements to move better by rolling or sliding, the top of the sole has a flat and smooth surface, the chambers formed by two layers of flexible and elastic material take a correspondingly convex shape with a flat bottom.

In order to move the massage elements when taking a step in the massage shoes, it is necessary for the massage elements to be able to move, that is, they must be placed with some degree of freedom. For this, the flexible chambers are not completely filled with massage elements and the massage elements have a certain degree of freedom that allows moving inside the chambers on the smooth surface of the sole by rolling or sliding.

The shoes themselves should be free so that the lower surface of the foot when taking a step and accordingly raising the legs is torn off the sole of the shoe, so that the massage elements are free and move when walking.

In order for the massage elements to move more intensively at each step, the sole is made of elastic material, has a small thickness and is equipped with elastic spikes from the bottom.

The movement of massage elements can occur when lifting the legs, and also at the time of lowering the legs in contact with the foot, the massage elements move and change their location. For this shell, the insoles, which are fixed around the perimeter of the sole, are made of elastic material, which, changing its linear size, provides massage elements with additional freedom.

In this case, accordingly, the chambers located opposite the underwater part of the foot and the subdigital lift are filled with massage elements to a greater extent, so that the massage elements in these areas have the opportunity to contact the foot.

Figure 2. Section of the insole of massage shoes on a plane parallel to the sole. Figure 3. The bottom view of the sole. Figure 4. Section of massage shoes across without load.

Figure 5. Section of massage shoes under load.

Massage shoes are arranged as follows, we look at figures 1, 2, 3. The sole 1 is made of elastic material, has a slight thickness within 2-

5 3 mm. The upper surface of the sole 1 is smooth. Bottom sole 1 is equipped with spikes 2 of the same elastic material. Along the perimeter of the sole 1, an insole 3 made of two layers of elastic flexible material is fixed, with curly seams 6 two layers of elastic flexible material form flexible elastic chambers 5, the shape of which corresponds to the anatomical features of the human foot 8. In the 5 chambers 5 of the insole 3 there are rounded massage elements 4, the number of which in accordance with the shape of the foot of a person 8 is increased in chambers located opposite the underwater part of the foot and the toe-up lift. The shoes are equipped with a free scoop 7, which allows the sole 1 to deviate from the bottom surface of the foot 8 at each step, giving the massage elements 4 freedom

15 movements.

Massage shoes work as follows, see figures 4,5.

For example, a person takes a step. In the figure 4, the foot 8 is in suspension, the surface of the sole 1 is flat, the massage elements 4 are free. In the figure 5, the foot 8 presses on the massage elements 4, which in turn transmit pressure to the sole 1, resting through the spikes 2 on the surface 9. The thin elastic sole 1 is deformed, the gaps of the sole 1 between the spikes 2 bend more and are initially flat the surface of the sole there are depressions into which the massage elements 4 are displaced under the pressure of the foot 8. When lifting the foot 8, the elastic sole 1 is straightened and massage

25 elements 4 receive an additional impulse to a change in position. Thus, massage elements move more intensively when walking and create a higher massage effect.
