Description

Title: Stabilizer for an insole

description

The invention relates to a stabilizer for a

Insole, comprising a, in particular shell-like, basic body with an inside to

Contacting an insole, and an outer side, in particular for contacting a shoe. The invention further relates to an associated set and an associated arrangement.

Such a stabilizer is previously known, for example, from EP 1 166 671 B1. The therapeutic purpose of insoles is promoted and supported by their proper positioning. So that the insoles remain at the predefined place, it is known stabilizers at the bottom of the

To install insoles. Furthermore, by the

Stabilizers stabilize, in particular the

Achieved heel area of an insole.

The known stabilizers are not or only difficult to adapt. If an adjustment of a stabilizer by grinding should still take place, this is done in the known stabilizers exclusively "after the feeling" of the operator.

The invention is therefore based on the object to improve the individual adaptability of a stabilizer to an insole and / or a shoe.

This task is accomplished by a stabilizer with the

Characteristics of claim 1 solved. It is therefore

provided that the body at least one

Marking, in particular depression, which provides an orientation aid during processing, in particular during grinding, of the stabilizer to achieve a

desired final form is formed.

Consequently, the stabilizer is individually reworked, for example, cut to size and / or sanded to this on an insole and / or on a shoe

to customize, so the mark forms one Orientation help. Instead of a cutting or

Of course, sanding is also different

material-removing machining operations conceivable. Thus, the processing of the stabilizer can be performed more accurately and by less experienced personnel.

The marking allows an operator

To determine how much material has already been removed and in which direction the material has been removed.

As a result, a more accurate processing of the stabilizer can be done by an operator no longer has to rely solely on their feelings, but can orient themselves to the marking when editing. Furthermore, it can be determined in particular whether a stabilizer section

was processed evenly or unevenly. For example, an operator can orient himself at a remaining distance of the marking from a ground surface.

The marker may also provide orientation, for example, with respect to the grinding angle. It would also be conceivable that the marking indicates at which position a

Post-processing should take place.

It is particularly conceivable that the mark is formed as a recess. The recess may have a constant depth. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the recess has different depths, for example by a stepped training. It is conceivable that the operator at a remaining depth of Orientation mark when editing the stabilizer.

Furthermore, the mark can also be a measure of what level of abraded material, the stabilizer can not provide sufficient stability, so that when the mark is no longer visible, no further material should be sanded.

Overall, the invention provides a better adaptation of a stabilizer to various insoles and / or shoes, in which a more precise and accurate machining of a stabilizer towards a final shape

can be carried out. As a result, a more accurate length compensation between the two legs of a person can be performed. Furthermore, the position of the foot and / or the leg and / or the hip and / or the spine and / or the head of a person can be influenced in a more precise manner. Furthermore, any

Support of the longitudinal arch of the insole

to be provided. Overall, it can be more precisely and individually influenced the gait of a person. Also, the size of the tread and a limitation of the torsional rigidity of the insole can be better

to be controlled. Likewise, the possible damping of the impact force can be adjusted by the stabilizer.

Additionally or alternatively, the problem underlying the invention is also solved by a stabilizer for an insole comprising one, in particular cupped, basic body with a

Inner side for contacting an insole, and with an outer side, in particular for contacting a shoe, wherein the base body at least one mark, in particular recess, which has a

Orientation aid in contacting the insole forms. The marker may be formed in particular as a hairline. The mark gives an orientation in the placement of the stabilizer on the insole. The marking may in particular be provided on a free front edge of the stabilizer facing away from the heel region. It can, in particular, before the final

Attachment of the stabilizer to the insole,

For example, by an adhesive bond, first a desired end position can be determined and marked.

For this purpose, the stabilizer is first placed at the desired end position on the insole. Then, in particular, a dog tag can be attached to the insole, which is complementary to the insole

stabilizer side marker is. For example, a trained as a hairline stabilizer side

Mark in the insole continued by there, for example, drawn with a pen, the hairline continues. Then the stabilizer can be removed again, be acted upon with adhesive and then securely fastened to the insole in the desired end position. This allows the stabilizer in a simple manner in the correct position on the

Insole be arranged, the adhesive is already introduced between the stabilizer and insole. One Repositioning is thereby avoided or on

Minimum reduced.

An advantageous development of the invention provides that the marking is provided on the inside of the stabilizer. Additionally or alternatively, the

Mark on the

Be provided outside. A mark on the

Inside the stabilizer allows in particular an orientation when grinding the inside to adapt to an insole so that the stabilizer is in particular form-fitting manner on the insole can be arranged. A mark on the outside allows orientation when grinding the stabilizer to this together with the insole to a shoe of a

Adapt patients.

It is conceivable that a plurality of recesses formed with the same or different depths are provided on the inside and / or outside.

By providing different markings, in particular recesses, an even more precise individual can be achieved

Be carried out grinding.

It is conceivable that on the inside and / or the outside of several wells with the same or

different depths are provided. By providing different wells can be an even more accurate

individual grinding be performed. In particular, an operator can determine if at different A desired final shape has already been achieved by, in particular, assessing or determining the remaining or no longer existing depth of the depression. It would also be conceivable to provide depressions of different depth, so that if, for example, a

Depression is no longer visible, a known amount of material has been removed.

A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the main body is a plate-shaped

Floor section with a bottom inside for contacting the bottom of an insole and a

Floor outside, in particular for contacting a

Shoe covers. In this case, the at least one mark can be provided in the bottom inside. Additionally or alternatively, the marking may be provided on the bottom outside.

The marking on the inside of the floor in turn serves the individual adaptation to an insole, while the mark on the bottom outside, in particular for

Adaptation to a shoe of the patient and / or to

Position correction of the foot or feet is used. Overall, by editing the bottom section a

individual adjustment of the height and / or angle of the stabilizer and thus a height and / or

Angle positioning of the foot of a person in a shoe can be performed individually. In this case, it is conceivable, in particular, different

Wells provided markings with different depths provided, so that when a depression is no longer visible, a certain amount of material has been removed, and thus a certain height of the stabilizer is achieved.

It is also advantageous if the main body a

Edge portion having an inner side for contacting the heel edge region of an insole and an outer side, in particular for contacting a shoe comprises. In this case, the marking may be provided on the inside.

Additionally or alternatively, the mark on the

Be provided outside. The stabilizer may therefore be designed, in particular, to encompass the heel region of the insole laterally on both sides, and

in particular, this also on the back so that the entire heel area of the insole can be covered by the stabilizer. Again, a mark can be provided on the inside for individual adaptation to the insole. In particular, a marker

However, be provided on the outside to allow an individual adjustment of the insole and stabilizer to a shoe of a patient.

In this case, at least one marking can be arranged on the outside of the edge section, wherein the marking is arranged at a distance from the floor outside. If the

Stabilizer is ground, so for example, the bottom outside can be ground. It offers the Marking an orientation of how much material has already been removed perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the foot. is

For example, the mark just no longer visible, so it is known exactly how much material on the floor outside has already been removed, namely as much as the

original distance of the mark from the

Floor outside has amounted.

Advantageously, a plurality of markings are provided, which are arranged one behind the other in a foot longitudinal direction. Additionally or alternatively, several

Markings may be provided which are perpendicular to

Foot longitudinal direction are arranged one above the other. By such a number of markers in particular

be determined whether a uniform grinding of a stabilizer section has taken place. Such

Arrangement may in particular on the outside of the

Be provided edge portion of the stabilizer. It would be conceivable in particular that two depressions are arranged one above the other, and that several, for example, three, such double markings are arranged one behind the other.

It is conceivable that on the outside of the

The edge portion at least two superimposed markers are arranged, wherein the first mark has a distance dl to the bottom outside, and wherein the second mark has a distance d2 to the bottom outside, and wherein the distance d2 is greater than the distance dl. For example, D2 can be 4.50 mm, while dl can be 2.00 mm. When the stabilizer is ground is, for example, the bottom outside can be ground. The markings provide an orientation, how much material perpendicular to

Foot longitudinal direction 14 has already been removed. is

For example, to no longer see the marking 40, this may mean, for example, that 2.00 mm of material has already been removed.

It is particularly preferred if the mark, in particular depression, line, circular, oval or line-shaped. It would be conceivable, however, in particular that, for example, on the outside of the logo of the stabilizer manufacturer is attached, and that this manufacturer's logo as a marker, in particular

Depression, on or in the stabilizer up or

was introduced. It would also be conceivable to form a product number of the stabilizer as marking, in particular recess. Furthermore, it would be conceivable to design a shoe size or a side indication (L = left foot, R = right foot) as marking, in particular depression.

The main body of the stabilizer may consist of one or different materials. In this case, the base body may comprise thermoplastic material. Conceivable would be the use of thermoplastic rubber

and / or thermoplastic polyurethane. such

Materials provide adequate cushioning and

simultaneous stabilization. Furthermore, a

Grindability given. Such a material may in particular have a hardness of 75 ° Shore A. The object stated at the outset is also achieved by a set comprising at least one invention

Stabilizer and a least insole. In particular, such a set permits a comparatively individual adaptation of the stabilizer, insole and shoe system to the foot of a patient. Such a set may also comprise several stabilizers and / or several insoles.

Finally, the object stated at the outset is also achieved by an arrangement comprising an insole and a stabilizer according to the invention arranged or arrangeable thereon. The stabilizer can therefore be particularly machinable in order to adapt it individually to the insole. The stabilizer may in this case be arranged on the insole before or after a processing, in particular a grinding. It would also be conceivable that the stabilizer before the arrangement is partially or finished.

Thus, it would be conceivable in particular that, for example, the

Inside of the stabilizer already individually

is ground and thus in particular form-fitting adapted to the insole, while the outside is still unprocessed and only after the arrangement of the

Insole is finished to the arrangement

individually adapted to a shoe of a patient. Advantageously, the stabilizer is positively arranged or can be arranged on the insole. Preferably, the stabilizer is arranged or can be arranged on the underside of the heel region of the insole. This results in a particularly preferred stabilization of

Insole through the stabilizer. Especially in the

The heel area is in need of stabilization and individual adaptability.

A particularly preferred development of the invention results from the fact that the stabilizer in

Foot longitudinal direction over less than a third, preferably less than a quarter, the insole extends.

As a result, the stability and gait stability in

be supported advantageously.

It is particularly preferred if the stabilizer from the heel area to the longitudinal arch support of

Insole extends. This can also be the

Support stability and correction can be provided in a particularly favorable manner.

Finally, it is particularly preferred if the stabilizer is arranged or can be arranged on the insole via an adhesive connection. This results in a particularly secure arrangement of the stabilizer on the insole.

If the stabilizer is arranged on the insole, it preferably extends from the heel area into the insole Longitudinal arch support of the insert. Preferably, the stabilizer ends in the longitudinal arch support of the insert.

If the stabilizer is arranged on the insole, it preferably has a heel end

opposite leading edge, the straight and

orthogonal to the longitudinal extent of the insole. The stabilizer is thereby particularly simple

workable.

Preferably, the thickness of the stabilizer and the

Leading edge, orthogonal to the longitudinal extent of the

Insole, so along the Fußlängsrichtung, seen in the central region at most half as large, in particular at most one-third as large as in the outer areas and / or in the heel area.

Further details and advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the following description, with reference to which shown in the figures

Embodiment of the invention described and explained in detail. Show it:

Figure 1 is a plan view of an assembly comprising an insole and a thereto

arranged stabilizer;

Figure 2 is a perspective view of a

Stabilizer according to one embodiment; and Figure 3 is a further perspective view of the

Stabilizer according to FIG. 2.

Figure 1 shows a total arrangement 2 according to a

Embodiment comprising an insole 4 and one in particular by means of an adhesive bond

arranged stabilizer 6.

The stabilizer 6 (shown as an individual part in FIGS. 2 and 3) initially comprises a shell-like basic body 8 with an inner side 10 which is arranged on the insole 4 in a form-fitting or substantially positive-locking manner. Furthermore, the stabilizer comprises a

Outer side 12, which, when the assembly 2 is arranged in a shoe, in contact with the shoe inner side. The stabilizer extends over the entire heel region of the insole 4 in the longitudinal direction of the foot 14 over less than a quarter of the total

Insole length to the beginning of the longitudinal arch support 16 of the insole 4. A front edge 17 of the stabilizer 6 is thus arranged in the region of the longitudinal arch support 16 and extends orthogonal to the Fußlängsrichtung 14. Der

Stabilizer 6 has a plate-shaped bottom portion 18 having a bottom inside 20 and a

Bottom outside 22 includes. Furthermore, the base body 8 comprises an edge portion 24, so that the stabilizer 6 has a shell-shaped overall shape. Of the

Edge section is in this case in particular at an angle which is greater than 90 ° in the bottom of the insole above. The edge portion 24 also has an inner side 26 and an outer side 28. The raised one

Edge portion 24 thus partially surrounds the edge portion of the heel portion of the insole 4. Of the

Stabilizer 6 may in particular consist of thermoplastic material such as thermoplastic rubber or thermoplastic polyurethane or comprise these materials.

On the inside 20 of the plate-shaped bottom portion 18, the stabilizer 6 initially has a recess 30 with a line-shaped contour, which limits a total of a rectangle. In addition, a product number 32 can be seen, wherein the individual components of the product number are each introduced as a recess.

On the outside 22 of the bottom portion 18 is a

Company logo 34 provided that is also introduced as a recess in the bottom plate 18. Furthermore, a shoe size range 36 is also introduced as a recess. Finally, a page 38 (L = left side) is introduced. On the outer side 28 of the edge portion 24 line depressions 40, 42 are shown. In this case, two markers 40, 42 perpendicular to

Foot longitudinal direction 14 arranged one above the other. In

Fußlängsrichtung 14 three double marks 44, 46 and 48 are arranged one behind the other. Of course, however, only a double mark 44, 46 or 48 may be provided. Perpendicular to the Fußlängsrichtung 14 is the top of the first mark 40 by a distance dl from the

Floor outside 22 spaced, while the upper side of the second mark d2 is spaced from the bottom outside 22 by a distance d2. It is true that d2 is larger than dl. For example, D2 can be 4.50 mm, while dl can be 2.00 mm.

If the stabilizer is processed, so can

For example, the bottom outside 22 are ground. The markings 40 and 42 provide an orientation as to how much material has already been removed perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 14 of the foot. If, for example, the marking 40 is no longer visible, this may mean that 2.00 mm of material has already been removed.

Overall, the recesses 30 to 48 allow a precise and individual reworking of the stabilizer 6 from the initial shape shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 to a desired final shape, which is shown in FIG. 1, in which in this example so much material has been removed that the Wells are no longer available. It would also be conceivable, of course, that only so much material

is removed that all or at least part of the wells are still visible in the final shape. In particular, the stabilizer 6 can be ground by a grinding process. The recesses 32 to 48 serve here as a guide to mark on the one hand the area to be ground and on the other hand in particular the progress of the grinding process monitor. Depending on the starting depth of the depressions 32 to 48 and the depth remaining during the grinding process, it is possible to determine how much material has already been ground in which area and whether the desired final shape has already been reached. When the bottom outside 22

is ground, it may additionally or alternatively, depending on the remaining distance (height) of the linear

Wells 40 are determined from the bottom outside 22, how much material on the bottom outside 22 has already been ground, and whether the desired final shape has already been reached.

It would be conceivable, for example, that different depressions have different depths. In the bottom bottom 22 shown in Figure 3 would be

For example, conceivable that the recess 38 a

has less depth than the recess 34. From a

certain Schleiffortschritt could then be, for example, the recess 38 disappeared, so that a

Operator knows that the amount of the depth of the recess 38 has already been ground. The recesses 30 and 32 can be ground in this case in particular for the individual adaptation of the stabilizer 6 to the insole 4. This can be carried out in particular before the stabilizer 6 is arranged on the insole 4, in particular glued. The further recesses 34 to 48 can

in particular after the arrangement of the stabilizer 6 on the insole 4 are ground in order to adapt the arrangement 2 individually to a shoe of a patient for whom the arrangement 2 is intended. Overall, the invention allows an individual and at the same time comparatively accurate and simple grinding of a stabilizer 6, in order to adapt it individually to a

To adjust insole 4 and a shoe of a patient.

Further, at the front edge 17 of the stabilizer 6, a roughly centered and in particular designed as a hairline mark 33 is provided. This forms an orientation aid in the contacting of the insole 4. For this purpose, the stabilizer 6 is first at the

desired end position of the insole 4 is arranged. Then, in particular, a dog mark, for example. Mark by attached to the insole 4, which is complementary to the stabilizer side marker 33. By way of example, a stabilizer-side marking 33 embodied as a hairline is continued in the insole 4, for example, with the marker 33 being continuously drawn there, for example with a pin. Then the stabilizer 6 can be removed again, with
