AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The new insole has multiple technical effects. Firstly, it can be used for different types of shoes, allowing for versatility in shoe design. Secondly, it can be easily replaced if damaged or worn out, ensuring safety and hygiene. Lastly, the insole provides stability and comfort for the foot by designing a winged area on each side of the base.

Problems solved by technology

All this provides the wearer considerable protection, but very little comfort or support.
Safety footwear, and in particular the soles and insoles thereof, do not have comfort as an integral part of their construction.
This causes numerous aches, pains and injuries for individuals that are required to wear safety foot wear for eight hours or more a day as a condition of their employment.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows the base layer of the insole (2) composed of a foot-shaped composition rubber with reinforced arch support (4) and wings (3) that are approximately 2″ long, ¼″ thick and extend 1 and 5 / 16″ on each side, curving up the side of the foot on both sides providing side to side stability and a foot-shaped top layer (1) of the insole consisting of a cushioning material constructed of a composite of 5 or more sheets of polyurethane films or similar plastic composed of uniformly distributed closed cell plastic film / bubbled rubber material. The film shall be fabricated in such a manner that the resulting material will be able to sustain regular wear for a period of at least 30 days without breakage or degradation. The new insole incorporates and combines both said base adhesively bonded to said top layer of bubbled material with the result that they are connected and lined, constituting one single body.

Abstract

An insole structure is disclosed. The insole is comprised of a cushioned flexible closed cell plastic film (bubbled rubber material) layered on top of and adhesively bonded to a rubber semi-rigid base formed with wings along the side for extra support and stability along the sides of the foot and in the arch area. The combination distributes the pressure created by the foot evenly between the bubbles, so each component absorbs a portion of the pressure, and the combination remains soft and comfortable under the wearer's foot even when the footwear is worn for extended periods of time. This new type of cushion insole provides substantial enhanced comfort, side to side stability, and massages the foot as the wearer moves or walks.
