JP2006167377A - Footwear having granulated material for applying pressing stimulation to sole and circumferential side of foot - Google Patents

Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide footwear for providing massage and stimulation to the entire soles of the feet by repeating a non-pressure state and a pressurized state. <P>SOLUTION: The footwear provides appropriate stimulation as if walking on the ground or sands with bare feet. Granulated material 3 sealed in a bag 2 formed of elastic material is inserted into an outsole 1 having a three-dimensional structure and formed of synthetic resin, cloth, nonwoven fabric or the like. The outsole 1 is sewn, adhered, or welded with the bottom and a top plate 4, and an instep band is also provided by sewing, adhering, or welding. The non-pressure state and the pressurized state are repeated on the top plate of the outsole having a space for storing the granulated material so that the granulated material inside is forcibly moved. In the pressurized state, the granulated material rises not only horizontally but also vertically, specially in a direction toward the arch of the foot so as to uniformly stimulate the entire sole of the foot. In the non-pressure state, a raised part is pressed downward and become flat by contractibility of the top plate. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to footwear for acupressure massage, and it is possible to perform acupressure massage not only from the soles of everyone but also from the edges of the soles to the upper side by modifying the structure of the footwear table.

Some conventional footwear uses sponges, protrusions, liquids, etc. on the surface that contacts the bottom of the foot, but the surface that contacts the bottom of the foot is already formed in a certain shape or is a regular protrusion It is hard to fit everyone's feet.
In Japanese Patent Publication No. 2000-325105, a granular fixed object is contained in a two-ply sheet cut according to the shape of the bottom surface of the footwear, and the circumference of the sheet is stitched or bonded together. In this case, a granular fixed object having hardness is put, and the granular fixed object is contained in the overlapped sheets, and the periphery of the sheet is sewn or bonded.
In the registered utility model No. 3065616 in which the granular materials are continuously arranged with the string to stimulate the sole, the portion directly touching the foot is flat and the granular material is also fixed.
A utility model No. 3096623 registered as a product that is provided with a bag made of stretchable material and in which a granular material is put and shakes repeatedly with no pressure and pressurization is only a bag in which the granular material is wrapped with a stretchable material. .

  In the footwear table in which the rough or unevenness of the sole is already roughly formed as in the prior art, it is not possible to stimulate all the individuals from the sole and the edge of the sole to the upper side. This invention makes it a subject to solve such an inconvenience.

  The footwear has a structure in which a granular material is enclosed in a space room of an outsole with a top plate provided on an upper part of an outer wall of the outsole. During pressurization, the granular material does not move in the horizontal direction but moves in the vertical direction by the outer peripheral wall of the outsole. The pressed granular material is pushed upward from the gap formed by the side surface of the sole and the outer wall of the outsole while applying pressure to the entire sole. At this time, the side surface of the foot is subjected to acupressure massage. The pressed granular material is pushed upward from the gap formed by the concave portion of the arch and the outer peripheral wall, and the arch is particularly stimulated.

  Since the toe portion of the outer peripheral wall is thin and the heel portion is thick, when the weight is applied to the heel, the granular material of the heel portion is pushed upward from the gap formed by the concave portion of the arch and the outer peripheral wall, and the arch Is particularly stimulated.

  By raising the portion of the outer peripheral wall of the outsole that has a space room that can contain granular materials, the upper portion of the outer wall that touches the arch is pushed upward from the gap formed by the concave portion of the arch and the outer peripheral wall, and the arch is particularly stimulated. The

  According to the present invention, there is no inconvenience that only a part of the sole is stimulated, and not only the entire sole, particularly the arch and the indentation of the toe, but also the conventional footwear due to the contraction force of the granular material and the top plate. Acupressure massage can be performed on the entire side of the foot that was possible.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional side view showing the footwear in use.
As shown in the figure, the granular material is enclosed in a space room of the outsole with a stretchable top plate provided on the upper part of the outer peripheral wall. When the granular material is pressurized, because the outer peripheral wall exists, the pressurized granular material does not spread in the horizontal direction but tries to escape in the vertical direction, but the force that removes the foot that sinks due to the tension of the top plate works . That is, the granular material forcibly moved to the gap formed by the outer peripheral wall and the side surface around the edge of the foot can perform acupressure massage on the side surface around the edge of the foot.

FIG. 5 is a front sectional view showing the use state of footwear.
As shown in the figure, when the weight is applied to the heel, the granular material on the heel passes through the gap formed by the recess of the arch and the outer peripheral wall, and is pushed out vertically, around the periphery of the outer peripheral wall and the sole of the foot Granules that have been forcibly moved to the gap formed between the side and the side surface of the sole can be massaged with shiatsu.

FIG. 8 is a side cross-sectional view showing the usage state by changing the depth of the outer peripheral wall of the outsole of the toe portion and the heel portion.
As shown in the figure, acupressure massage can be performed on the entire side of the buttocks of the foot by increasing the depth of the space room of the buttocks. When the foot sinks deeply, the stretchable top plate provided on the upper part of the outer wall of the outsole is strongly stretched, and as a reaction, the entire side surface of the buttocks can be subjected to acupressure massage.
