Definitions

  • the invention relates to an insole according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • insoles can be used which are placed inside the footwear on top of its sole.
  • insoles it is possible to fit the footwear better into the user's foot.
  • insoles can affect the nervous system of the foot sole.
  • both of the commonly known methods have also introduced bulges formed onto the inner surface of a footwear sole or onto a separate insole, which utilise the person's movements and weight to provide nerve impulses.
  • different arrangements/structures have been used earlier.
  • fixed bulges or equivalent projections have been shaped or formed onto the insole for the whole area of the foot sole such that there is an even grid of bulges substantially on the whole area of the insole.
  • a disadvantage of this is that the foot's weight is divided onto a very large surface and the effect of the even grid of bulges remains very weak, because the area becomes significantly large in relation to the user's weight.
  • the insole includes bulges at predetermined and selected fixed points. Then, a disadvantage is that the coverage is very selective even though the pressure as such at these selected points can be of suitable intensity.
  • a third arrangement employs totally or partially perforated insoles, in which an individual bulge corresponding a hole can be located to each hole.
  • a disadvantage of this arrangement is that the holes in the insole are relatively far from each other and the grid formed by bulges is sparse and the body weight falls in such a small area that an individual bulge can penetrate the skin.
  • Such an individual bulge should be wide enough to keep the surface pressure at the point of the individual bulge so low that the skin or the tissue will not break when using the insoles.
  • the individual bulge has to be large in order to hold up.
  • the object of the invention is to introduce an insole by means of which above disadvantages are eliminated.
  • a particular object of the invention is to introduce an insole, which is easy to use, easily modifiable and cost-effective to manufacture.
  • the insole according to the invention includes one or more bulge parts releasably attachable to holes, which pertain two or more bulges attached together by their bottom surfaces. Then, the moving range i.e. the hole distance (grid) of the bulge part can be provided considerably denser than the one of a system of corresponding size based on individual studs. Thus, it is possible to cater for an insole and provide an insole by considering and combining an area sufficiently large for the tissue to tolerate (i.e. low surface pressure) and a sufficiently dense moving grid of the bulges. In the insole according to the invention, the desired effective range and effective area of an individual stud is larger than its aligning density.
  • the area of the bulge and its moving density are provided independent from each other compared to an individual stud.
  • a dense moving grid it is possible to fine-adjust the treatment individually to a correct point i.e. the user can adjust and place the bulge just at the desired point and change it when required.
  • the same bulges fit into different sizes of insoles, because the larger insoles include more holes.
  • the points of the holes in the insole are designated to the insole.
  • the bulge part can be located accurately at the desired point e.g. by means of the above zone therapy or acupuncture maps and, thus, the same product can be used for both types of pressure therapy.
  • the rows of the holes in the insole are advantageously designated by numbers and/or letters. Then, a clear and easy-to-use grid is provided.
  • the rows of numbers and letters are advantageously at an angle of about 50-70° and advantageously at an angle of about 60° in relation to each other. When there is a limited number of letters and the rows are at such an angle in relation to each other, the number of letters is enough to cover the useful area of the insole.
  • the insole according to the invention is cost-effective to manufacture and can also be manufactured of non-breathable material if the distance between the holes is small enough.
  • Fig. 1 shows an oblique rear view of an embodiment of an insole according to the invention and a bulge part included in it and
  • Figs. 2-4 show top views of various bulge parts.
  • Fig. 1 shows an insole 1 which includes holes 2 of the same size at a regular distance from each other. These holes form a grid where the adjacent holes are at the same distance from each other.
  • the rows of the holes 2 in the insole in one direction are designated by numbers 1 ⁇ 10 and the rows in the other direction are designated by letters A-R on the edges of the insole.
  • the rows of numbers are in the cross direction of the insole and the rows of letters are at an angle of about 50-70° and, in this case, at an angle of about 60° in relation to the rows of numbers.
  • the insole includes one or more bulge parts 3 releasably attachable to the holes 2.
  • the bulge part consists of several bulges 4 attached/connected together by their bottom surfaces.
  • the shape of the bulges corresponds pins or studs extending outwards from the base of the bulge part.
  • the bulges are at a distance in accordance with the holes in the insole from each other and the diameter of the bulges corresponds the diameter of the holes or can be slightly smaller.
  • the bulge parts can be placed according to Fig. 1 below the insole and the bulges are pressable through the holes in the insole, whereby they extend somewhat above the top surface of the insole.
  • the number of bulges i.e. studs is seven.
  • the number of bulges i.e. studs is four.
  • the number of bulges i.e. studs is five.
  • the number of the bulges can vary in different embodiments.
  • the bulges can be connected together by various moving grids. There can be e.g. two, three, four, five or some other number of bulges i.e. studs connected together substantially by their bottom surfaces. Their minimum number is two, advantageously e.g. seven, but there can be even ten or more of them. It is substantial that the common effective area of the studs is in a suitable relation to the user's weight and the moving range is smaller than the single-part form corresponding this effective area.
  • the base of the bulge part can be of a polygon shape considering the distances of the holes in the insole.
  • the height of the bulges i.e. studs can also vary and they can be manufactured of different heights. Then, the user can select the height of the bulges most suitable for him/her and/or replace the bulge part with a bulge part of another height.
  • the material of the insole is elastic material suitable for the purpose.
  • the bulge part is manufactured of plastic or rubber material or some other material suitable for the purpose.
