Description

Technical Field

[0001] It relates to a shoe insole. Technical Background

[0002] Since there is no pocket for inserting an AiTag in the conventional insole, it was impossible to store the AirTag. However, if the insole is changed to the product of the present invention, it becomes possible to store the AirTag in any shoe. In addition, by mounting the pocket on the arch, a comfortable wearing feeling without discomfort can be provided.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] According to the above insole, since there is a pocket at the toe part, a sense of discomfort occurs when the AirTag is stored.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] An AiTag pocket is mounted inside the insole to enable storage of the AiTag. Furthermore, a pocket is mounted on the arch so as not to cause discomfort on the sole.

Effects of the Invention

[0006] By mounting a pocket (2) for inserting an AiTag (3) in the insole (1), the AiTag can be easily stored and can be used for various shoes. In addition, by mounting the pocket on the arch, a comfortable wearing feeling without discomfort can be provided.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[0007] [Figure 1] Plan view of the insole with pocket according to the present invention [Figure 2] This is a cross-sectional view along line AA in Figure 1. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the insole consists of the main body, a pocket for inserting the AirTag, and the AirTag itself. The aforementioned pocket is located in the arch of the foot, and the AirTag is stored in that pocket.

[0009] The insole has a 30mm diameter, 8mm deep hole on the underside, allowing for the storage of an AirTag. Because the insole is made of a cushioned material, a 32mm diameter AirTag can be stored snugly without any gaps, preventing it from falling out when the insole is lifted. The hole is positioned at the arch of the foot to minimize discomfort. The hole's walls are oval-shaped, ensuring a tight fit for the AirTag. The insole is softer than the AirTag, ensuring a secure hold. The center of the AirTag is raised, and the insole is recessed to match this structure. Pockets for storing AirTags are provided on both the left and right insoles, ensuring a consistent feel underfoot. This allows for the placement of an AirTag on the non-dominant foot without causing discomfort. The pocket is positioned 10mm inward from the inner edge of the insole, providing greater durability than a pocket placed at the edge. Only the edge of the insole is constructed from durable foamed rubber. Furthermore, the insole's holes have grooves filled with foamed rubber for added grip, ensuring the AirTag is more securely fixed. The insole also uses cushioning materials to reduce strain on the feet while walking. To prevent the AirTag from coming out of its pocket, the center of the insole is made of a less flexible material. To ensure a closer fit, the insole is positioned in the arch pocket, incorporating a separate component to hold the AirTag, creating a structure that feels like the insole is suctioned to the sole of the foot, providing exceptional comfort.
