Definitions

  • This invention relates to a foot care article and particularly a footwear that offers human foot a protective insole and cover for improving foot hygiene, providing additional cushion and perspiration absorption capability and is adjustable to fit different sizes of foot and disposable after a brief period of use.
  • footwear and foot care articles mostly have their merits and flaws. It usually takes more than one footwear or foot care article to complement one another to give human foot best possible protection and comfort.
  • the prior art is replete with suggestions to attain this end.
  • foot care requirements vary widely among different people engaging in different activities in different seasons. The quest for improvement is continuous.
  • Shoes and boots made of natural or synthetic leather can protect the foot from injury, and keep the foot dry, warm and free from soiling by outside environments. However they generally have relatively hard insole and poor cushion which could result in inner inflicted injury such as corns, blisters or chafing of foot skin.
  • the leather shoes are not washable, thus create a lot of hygienic problems.
  • the closed toe compartment tends to become damp and musty after trapping and accumulating foot perspiration and secretion for a period of time. It often becomes a breeding ground for microbes and fungus, and could result in foot disease as athlete's foot and generate foul odor.
  • Shoes made of canvas and rubber such as sport shoes or sneakers generally have sponge-like insoles with relatively good cushion to absorb impact and pounding received by foot.
  • the insoles also absorb and accumulate a great amount of sweat and foot secretion. They are washable but difficult to dry. If not being washed and dried frequently, they tend to generate an offensive foul smell.
  • Hosiery products such as sock, stocking, pantyhose and the like may remedy some of the problems inherent to shoes and boots. They generally may smooth the rough interior of the shoes and boots and provide more comfort feeling to the foot. Thicker socks may offer a protective shield between foot and the musty shoe interior to offer some degree of sanitary function. But they also have their share of problems. Socks made from cotton, wool or other hydrophilic fibers have relatively good perspiration absorbing capability. However once damp, they become sticky and soiled easily when contact the sweat-stained interior of the shoes. Moreover visible socks often do not have aesthetic appealing to women wearing street shoes and dressed in skirts. Stocking and pantyhose made from nylon or manmade fibers generally have good stretch ability and aesthetic appealing to a lot of women.
  • shoe insert or insole being proposed or introduced to remedy the deficiency of shoes and socks and stockings. They usually being made to provide some specific function, such as offering additional cushion, sweat-absorbing, deodorizing, microbes retarding or the like. They also have drawbacks. For instance, the inserts for adding more cushion and perspiration-absorption power usually need a greater thickness, and they will squeeze the foot too tight in the shoe and make the foot not comfortable (such as U.S. Pat. No. 5,216,825 to Brum). These shoe inserts are generally designed for durable use for a prolonged period of time. They also trap and accumulate sweat and foot secretion, hence their sanitary effect such as microbe retarding and odor adsorbing diminish rapidly with the time of use.
  • U.S Pat. Nos. 3,299,894 to Charlebols
  • 3,882,868 to Tundermann
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,404,657 discloses a shoe protector that is mainly to protect new shoes from soils when trying-on at shoe stores rather than to protect the foot.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,021,941 to Caggiano
  • a general aim here is to provide a new and useful foot covering which is adjustable and disposable.
  • One preferred aim is to provide a protective insole and cover to shield the foot, especial the toes and sole, from directly contacting the perspiration-tainted or microbes-infected shoe interior for keeping the foot in a sanitary and healthy condition.
  • Another preferred aim is to provide a disposable footwear for use with shoes or hosiery products that offers additional cushion and moisture absorption capability to absorb impact received by foot and remove excess sweat from the foot or hosiery articles for protecting the foot from injury and adding comfort to the foot.
  • a further preferred aim is to provide footwear that has a toe cover, insole and side flaps to give the foot sufficient protective coverage but which may be worn in a shoe without being exposed, adding to wearer comfort without spoiling aesthetic appearance.
  • Yet another preferred aim is to provide adjustable footwear that may be flexibly changed to fit different sizes of foot, and is adaptable for men and women, left foot and right foot so that it can be made at a low cost for disposable use.
  • Still another preferred aim is to provide disposable footwear that is convenient to use and may be packed in a small size for users to carry handily so that users may replace the damp footwear easily to keep the foot in a dry and comfortable condition.
  • Another preferred aim is to provide footwear that includes an insole and a toe pocket which has separated toe pouches to encase the toes for improving air ventilation between the toes, and allaying discomfort resulting from excess perspiration and irritation of the toes crowded in the closed toe compartment of the shoe.
  • Still another preferred aim is to provide a disposable foot care article that contains selected medical agents for curing microbe infected foot diseases or guarding the foot and toes from microbe and fungus contagion.
  • an adjustable and disposable foot care article includes a toe cover bonded to an insole to form a toe pocket at the front section.
  • the toe pocket has a curved and closed front rim and a rear opening.
  • the insole is a pliable composite laminate including an upper layer, an absorbent layer in the middle and a bottom layer.
  • the insole is an elongated member which has a relatively wide front and middle section and a narrower heel section, and is substantially symmetrical transverse wise.
  • the bottom layer has two side flaps extended transversely outward from two lateral sides of the middle and heel section of the insole.
  • the side flaps have two longitudinal heel perforation lines formed adjacent the side edges of the heel section and a plurality of transverse and spaced perforation lines running across the heel section, and one or more spaced longitudinal flap perforation lines formed thereon.
  • the foot care article of this invention may be adapted to be adjusted to fit different sizes of foot by trimming excess heel section from the rear end and/or excess side flaps from the outer edges along selected perforation lines.
  • the rear end of the side flaps may be wrapped around the heel and fastened together by a fastener so that the article may be worn snugly on the foot without flapping or flopping.
  • the foot care article may fully cover the sole and toes, and partly cover the instep up to the upper rim of the shoe. It gives foot protection and comfort desired and may be worn without exposed e.g. being essentially fully covered by a conventional shoe.
  • This foot care article is adaptable to men and women, right foot and left foot, and may be made to fit a wide range of foot sizes so that it can be made at a low cost for disposable use.
  • the foot care article may serve as a substitute for sock or stocking. It is especially useful and convenient in the occasions of travel, vacation, or trip where washing and drying facilities or time are limited. It also may be worn with stocking or pantyhose for improving foot hygiene, adding cushion and moisture absorption capability without spoiling aesthetic appearance. It also may be worn with sock for adding cushion and foot sweat absorption power, especially for people who perspire heavily or engage in vigorous physical activities such as sports, exercise, hiking, or the like. The damp or soiled foot care article may be discarded and replaced easily so that the foot may be kept at a dry, hygienic and comfortable condition constantly.
  • any one, two or all three of the toe cover, upper layer and bottom layer may be of a fluid-permeable and/or air permeable material e.g. non-woven fabric.
  • the fastening means may include a heel adhesive patch on an upper surface of one side flap, covered by a heel release strip.
  • the bottom surface of another side flap may have a corresponding strip, e.g. of cellulose paper, for engagement with the heel adhesive patch.
  • the fastening means may include adhesive tape with one or two release strips, e.g. respective release strips at two ends of a tape, or two lengths of adhesive tape with an elastic element in between and each having a release strip.
  • Such adhesive tape may be engageable with bottom surfaces of the side flaps, which may have engagement strips such as cellulose paper for engagement by the tape.
  • the foot care article may serve a medical purpose by being impregnated with medical agents such as antibacterial, fungicidal or deodorizing ingredients for healing or retarding foot diseases such as athlete's foot. Impregnation may be of the toe cover and/or insole.
  • the foot care article of this invention may be adapted to be packed in a small size and be carried handily in a clothes pocket or handbag, and may be worn or changed easily at any location desired such as rest rooms, or be sold conveniently through vending machines.
  • the foot care article generally designated 1 includes a toe cover 2 and an insole 3.
  • the toe cover 2 is bonded to the insole 3 at the peripheral rim to form a toe pocket 21 which has a closed and curved front end 22, a rear edge 23 and an opening below the rear edge 23 for the toes and front portion of the foot to slip into the toe pocket 21 when in use.
  • the insole 3 is a pliable composite laminate consisting of at least one layer.
  • the insole 3 according to one embodiment of this invention includes an upper layer 4, an absorbent layer 5 located in the middle and a bottom layer 6.
  • the insole 3 is an elongated member and is generally shaped to support the sole and heel of human foot, and includes a front section 31 located beneath the toe cover 2, a middle section 32 extended rearward from the front section 31 and a heel section 33 at the rear end of the insole 3.
  • the insole 3 has a relatively greater transverse width at the front and middle section 31 and 32, and a narrower width at the heel section 33.
  • the insole 3 is substantially symmetrical transverse wise so that it may accommodate the left foot or right foot equally well.
  • the bottom layer 6 extends outwards from the middle section 32 and heel section 33 to form a first side flap 61 and a second side flap 61' at two lateral sides thereof.
  • the side flaps 61 and 61' have respectively a longitudinal heel perforation line 34 formed adjacent the lateral side of the heel section 33.
  • the heel section 33 has a plurality of spaced transverse perforation lines 35 formed thereon.
  • the front ends of the side flaps 61 and 61' are extended longitudinally beyond the rear edge 23 and overlap with the toe cover 2 for a selected length, and have respectively coated with a side adhesive patch 62 and 62' at the upper surface thereof.
  • the side adhesive patches 62 and 62' are covered respectively by a side release strip 63 and 63'.
  • the rear ends of the side flaps 61 and 61' are extended rearwards beyond the rear end of the heel section 33 to respectively form a flap rear end 64 and 64'.
  • On the side flaps 61 and 61' there are at least one longitudinal flap perforation line 65 and 65' formed respectively thereon with a selected interval therebetween and spaced from the side edge thereof.
  • On the upper surface of the second side flap 61' there is a heel fastener 7 disposed thereon and extended to the flap rear end 64'.
  • the transverse perforation lines 35 also are extended in both directions and across the side flaps 61 and 61' and the fastener 7.
  • the toe cover 2 may also have one or more arched toe cover perforation line 24 formed thereon with a starting and an ending point adjacent the rear edge 23.
  • the longitudinal length of the insole 3 from the front end 22 of the toe cover 2 to the rear end of the heel section 33, and the transverse width of the insole 3 are preferably great enough to accommodate a wide range of foot sizes.

  • the absorbent layer 5 is preferably made from materials that have high moisture absorption and retention capability such as a blend of wood pulp fibers, absorbent polymer fibers, cellulose fluff, and the like that are also known in the art.
  • the upper layer 4 and absorbent layer 5 are bonded to the bottom layer 6 at the periphery edges of the upper layer 4 to form the insole 3 by heat fusion, sonic sealing, hot melt adhesive or other adhering methods known in the art. Similar bonding methods may be employed to bond the toe cover 2 to the insole 3.
  • the wearer may choose to reserve a portion of the flap rear end 64 to wrap around the heel and trims the excess flap rear end 64 along one transverse perforation line 35, then wraps another flap rear end 64' around the heel and uses the heel fastener 7 to fasten to the outer surface of the first side flap 61.
  • excess outer margin of the side flaps 61 and 61' may be trimmed along selected flap perforation lines 65 and 65', and part of the rear portion of the toe cover 2 may also be removed by trimming along a selected toe cover perforation line 24 such that the foot care article 1 may be worn in the shoe 8 without exposed outside the upper rim 81or vamp of the shoe if so desired (shown by broken lines in FIG. 4).
  • All the trimming and adjusting may be done by hands without using any tool.
  • the side release strips 63 and 63' may be peeled off for the side adhesive patches 62 and 62' adhering to the toe cover 2 so that the side flaps 61 and 61' may cover the lateral sides of the foot securely, and also to stretch and smooth the toe cover 2 without forming creases over the instep of the foot.
  • the foot care article 1 thus worn on the foot has the insole 3 completely covering the sole of the foot, the toe pocket 21 covering the toes and front portion of the instep, and the side flaps 61 and 61' covering the two lateral sides of the foot.
  • the foot does not directly contact the shoe interior, especially the closed toe compartment which is most likely become musty or microbe-infected by accumulation of perspiration or secretion emanated from the foot.
  • Moisture or foot perspiration will be siphoned away from the sole and toes to the absorbent layer 5 for retention, and from the toes and instep to the toe cover 2 and side flaps 61 and 61' for dispersing and vaporizing.
  • the foot care article 1 may be worn snugly on foot without flapping or flopping like wearing slippers. It can be used as a substitute for sock or stocking, or be worn with sock or stocking for adding cushion and moisture absorption capability.
  • the foot care article 1 may also allay the chafing of foot skin at the ankle area, especially when wearing new shoes at the initial fitting period.
