Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a wearing article, in particular to a foot wearing article. Background Art
[0002] The human foot bears the entire body's weight. In daily life, the foot is worn in socks and contained within shoes. The various constraints associated with shoes, socks, and feet can easily cause various types of damage to the foot, such as abrasions and various forms of athlete's foot. To address this, a variety of footwear products have been designed to enhance foot health.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN104411275B discloses a toe pad, which is formed of an elastic and flexible elastomer material and has a large-diameter interlocking ring portion that is interlocked with the big toe to form a toe pad portion of the big toe and the index toe; a small-diameter interlocking ring portion that is interlocked with the ring toe to form a toe pad portion of the ring toe, the middle toe, and the little toe; a base portion that connects the two rings and is located on the sole of the foot to interlock the index toe and the middle toe; and a protruding portion that serves as the toe pad is provided at the middle position of the base portion so as to be clamped by the index toe and the middle toe. Interlocking arches are formed on the toe insertion sides of the base portion and the two interlocking ring portions so as to contact the base of each toe. The bottom thickness of the small-diameter interlocking ring portion is thicker than the bottom thickness of the large-diameter interlocking ring portion, and the height of the little toe and the middle toe from the floor is slightly higher than that of the big toe. This toe pad is helpful for correcting upright posture and walking posture, and helps maintain a better posture when walking and exercising.
[0004] For example, Chinese patent CN2347450Y discloses a health-care heel pad with a dustpan-shaped main body and a grid of evenly distributed ribs on the bottom and back. The ribs are 0.5-2 mm thick, 3-7 mm high, and spaced 4-8 mm apart, with gaps between them. This heel pad helps reduce direct impact on the heel during walking, running, jumping, and other activities, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the brain, spine, and hips.
[0005] The structures of these existing footwear articles cannot provide compatible protection and health care for the wear and tear of the foot skin and various tinea pedis, and it is necessary to improve them. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] Now, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] See also Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a perspective schematic diagram of an embodiment of a foot pad of the present invention. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of a foot pad according to the present invention. Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic top view of an embodiment of a foot pad of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a bottom-up schematic diagram of an embodiment of a foot insole according to the present invention. Taking a heel pad as an example, the present invention provides a foot insole 10 comprising an upper structure 1 and a lower structure 2. The upper and lower structures 1 and 2 are spaced apart, forming an interlayer gap 3, which can accommodate other items (not shown). Furthermore, the upper and lower structures 1 and 2 are connected by a connecting structure 4. It is understood that the foot insole 10, similar to shoes and socks, can be sized in multiple sizes to accommodate individuals of varying body types.
[0032] The upper structure 1 is made of silicone, absorbent cotton or sterile cloth, etc. The upper structure 1 is formed by injection molding or pressing, and has a shape that matches the contour of the heel.
[0033] The upper structure 1 includes a bottom wall 11 , a rear wall 12 vertically extending upward from the rear end of the bottom wall 11 , and two side walls 13 vertically extending upward from both sides of the bottom wall 11 and adjacent to the front end of the rear wall 12 .
[0034] The upper structure 1 is provided with a plurality of through holes 15 , which are distributed on the bottom wall 11 , the rear wall 12 and the side walls 13 .
[0035] The lower structure 2 is made of silicone, cotton wool, or sterile cloth. It is formed by injection molding or pressing. The lower structure 2 has a shape that matches the contour of the heel and is basically the same as the upper structure 1 mentioned above.
[0036] The lower structure 2 includes a bottom wall 21 , a rear wall 22 vertically extending upward from the rear end of the bottom wall 21 , and two side walls 23 vertically extending upward from both sides of the bottom wall 21 and adjacent to the front end of the rear wall 22 .
[0037] The lower structure 2 is provided with a plurality of through holes 25 , which are distributed on the bottom wall 21 , the rear wall 22 and the side walls 23 .
[0038] The lower structure 2 is stacked with the upper structure 1 , and the bottom wall 21 , rear wall 22 and side walls 23 of the lower structure 2 correspond to the bottom wall 11 , rear wall 12 and side walls 13 of the upper structure 1 .
[0039] The provision of through holes 25 and 15 not only facilitates air circulation in the corresponding areas, but also, depending on the needs of the application, if ointments, cotton wool, or the like are provided in the interlayer gap 3, the provision of through holes 15 facilitates the relevant medicinal ingredients to contact the user's foot skin through the through holes 15, thus achieving a similar effect as applying the medicinal ingredients.
[0040] It is worth mentioning that, in order to achieve the dual functions of ventilation and drug delivery, the through-holes 25 of the lower structure 2 are not aligned with the through-holes 15 of the upper structure 1. For example, each through-hole 15 corresponds to a through-hole 25, but the centers of the two are not aligned, or in other words, the central axis of through-hole 15 is not aligned with the central axis of through-hole 25.
[0041] Connecting structures 4 are formed at the front edges of bottom walls 11 and 21 by methods such as lamination, gluing, or sewing. Connecting structures 4 connect upper structure 1 and lower structure 2, respectively. For example, connecting structures 4 are flexible and foldable, allowing lower structure 2 and upper structure 1 to be relatively unfolded and folded, thereby facilitating the placement of related items in gaps 3 between the layers.
[0042] In actual use of the foot insole 10, the user first places the foot insole 10 on the user's heel (the bottom wall 11 is in contact with the bottom surface of the heel, and the rear wall 12 and side walls 13 are in contact with the back of the heel); then, the user puts on socks to ensure that the foot insole 10 remains on the user's heel; finally, the user puts on shoes to complete the wearing process.
[0043] After wearing, the foot pad 10 can well protect and maintain the wear and tear of the foot skin. In addition, as long as the corresponding articles containing medicinal ingredients are provided in the above-mentioned interlayer gaps 3, it can well protect and maintain the tinea of various heels.
[0044] See also Figures 5 to 8 , Figure 5 FIG2 is a perspective schematic diagram of another embodiment of the foot pad of the present invention. Figure 6 FIG2 is a front view of another embodiment of the foot pad of the present invention. Figure 7 FIG2 is a top view of another embodiment of a foot pad of the present invention. Figure 8 This is a bottom-up schematic diagram of another embodiment of a foot insole according to the present invention. Taking a toe pad as an example, the present invention provides another foot insole 20 comprising an upper structure 5, a lower structure 6, and four interdigital structures 8. The four interdigital structures 8 are disposed on the upper structure 5. The upper and lower structures 5, 6 are spaced apart, forming interlayer gaps 7. Furthermore, the upper and lower structures 5, 6 are connected together by connecting structures 9. It will be appreciated that, similar to shoes and socks, foot insole 20 can be sized in multiple sizes to accommodate individuals of varying body types.
[0045] The material of the upper structure 5 is silica gel, absorbent cotton or sterile cloth, etc. The upper structure 5 is formed by injection molding or pressing, and has a shape that matches the contour of the forefoot.
[0046] The upper structure 5 comprises a bottom wall 51 and two side walls 53 extending vertically upward from either side of the bottom wall 51. Specifically, the front edge of the bottom wall 51 is curved, with the point extending the furthest forward corresponding to the big toe and the point extending the least forward corresponding to the little toe. The rear edge of the bottom wall 51 is straight, corresponding to the junction of the toes and the forefoot. The side wall 53 on the big toe side corresponds to the inside of the big toe; the side wall 53 on the little toe side corresponds to the outside of the little toe.
[0047] The upper structure 5 is provided with a plurality of through holes 55 , which are distributed on the bottom wall 51 and the side walls 53 .
[0048] The lower structure 6 is made of silicone, absorbent cotton, or sterile cloth. The lower structure 6 is formed by injection molding or compression molding. The lower structure 6 has a shape that matches the contour of the forefoot and is basically the same as the upper structure 5 mentioned above.
[0049] The lower structure 6 includes a bottom wall 61 and two side walls 63 extending vertically upward from both sides of the bottom wall 61 .
[0050] The lower structure 6 is provided with a plurality of through holes 65 , which are distributed on the bottom wall 61 and the side walls 63 .
[0051] The lower structure 6 is stacked with the upper structure 5 , and the bottom wall 61 and the side walls 63 of the lower structure 6 correspond to the bottom wall 51 and the side walls 53 of the upper structure 5 .
[0052] The provision of through-holes 65 and 55 not only facilitates air circulation in the corresponding areas, but also, depending on the needs of the application, if ointments, cotton wool, or the like are provided in the interlayer gaps 7, the provision of through-holes 55 facilitates the relevant medicinal ingredients to contact the user's foot skin through the through-holes 55, thus achieving a similar effect as applying the medicinal ingredients.
[0053] It is worth mentioning that, in order to achieve the dual functions of ventilation and drug delivery, the through holes 65 of the lower structure 6 and the through holes 55 of the upper structure 5 are intentionally designed not to correspond one to one. For example, each through hole 55 corresponds to a through hole 65, but the centers of the two are not aligned, or in other words, the central axis of through hole 55 is not aligned with the central axis of through hole 65.
[0054] The material of the interdigital structure 8 is silica gel, absorbent cotton or sterile cloth, etc. The interdigital structure 8 is formed by injection molding or pressing process. The interdigital structure 8 is in the shape of a hollow cylinder.
[0055] The interdigital structure 8 has a column wall 81. The column wall 81 is provided with a plurality of through holes 85. The interdigital structure 8 has a hollow portion 87. The hollow portion 87 is communicated with the through holes 85.
[0056] Specifically, the four interdigital structures 8 correspond to the four toe gaps. Since the toe gaps themselves vary in size, the four interdigital structures 8 also vary in size accordingly: As they extend from the side corresponding to the big toe to the side corresponding to the little toe, the diameter of the interdigital structures 8 gradually decreases, and the diameter of the hollow portion 87 also gradually decreases. It is worth noting that because the four interdigital structures 8 are hollow and flexible, they can be slightly compressed or expanded, effectively adapting to the differences in toe gap sizes between different individuals.
[0057] The provision of through-holes 85 not only facilitates air circulation in the corresponding areas, but also, depending on actual application needs, if ointments, cotton wool, or the like are placed in hollow portion 87, the provision of through-holes 85 facilitates the relevant medicinal ingredients to contact the skin between the toes of the user through through-holes 85, thus achieving a similar effect as applying the medicinal ingredients.
[0058] The interdigital structure 8 is connected to the upper structure 5 into one piece by a bonding method such as pressing, gluing or sewing.
[0059] It is understood that, depending on the needs of the actual application, the number of the interdigital structures 8 is not necessarily limited to four, such as one, two or three. Moreover, in certain applications, the interdigital structure 8 may be omitted.
[0060] The connection structure 9 is formed at the upper end edges of the side walls 53 and 63 by a combination method such as pressing, gluing or sewing, so as to connect the upper structure 5 and the lower structure 6 into one piece.
[0061] In actual use of the foot insole 20, the user first places the foot insole 20 on the forefoot of the user (the bottom wall 51 is in contact with the bottom surface of the forefoot, the side walls 53 are in contact with the sides of the forefoot, the interdigital structure 8 is inserted between the toes, and the column wall 81 is in contact with the sides of the adjacent toes); then, the user puts on socks to ensure that the foot insole 20 remains on the toes of the user; and finally, the user puts on shoes to complete the wearing process.
[0062] After being worn, the foot pad 20 can effectively protect and maintain the foot skin from wear and tear; and, as long as corresponding articles containing medicinal ingredients are arranged in the above-mentioned interlayer gaps 7 and / or the hollow part 97, it can effectively protect and maintain the foot from various toe ringworms.
[0063] Compared with the prior art, the foot pads 10, 20 of the present invention have the following beneficial effects: through the ingenious coordination of the upper structures 1, 5 and the lower structures 2, 6, through holes 15, 55 are formed in the upper structures 1, 5, and through holes 25, 65 are formed in the lower structures 2, 6. The upper structures 1, 5 and the lower structures 2, 6 are spaced apart from each other to form interlayer gaps 3, 7 for conveniently placing other items, and are connected to each other by means of connecting structures 4, 9, which is beneficial for providing compatible protection and health care for foot skin wear and various types of tinea pedis.
[0064] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Those skilled in the art may modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications and replacements should all fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
