Technical Field

[0004] , ,

[0001] The present invention relates to an insole of shoes for health improvement equipped with a vibration device.

Background Art

[0002] An insole of shoes is a member laid on an insole board. Without an insole, the feet directly contact the insole board, resulting in a decrease in the fitting feeling and comfort, and the feet are not fixed, so the feet are prone to fatigue. It can be said that an insole is an essential member for normal walking. When purchasing shoes, an insole is always attached, and it may be integrated with the midsole or attached with an adhesive. The insole is as important as shoes and must be designed according to the shape, size and bone structure of the sole of the foot. Reflecting the importance of the insole, many functional insoles are sold, but it is difficult to choose an economically viable product designed ergonomically.

[0003] <00​​​​Currently, vibration devices attached to shoes are almost always mounted on the outsole, heel, or midsole, and there are no proposals for vibration devices attached to the insole. This is because insoles are thin, making it difficult to accommodate large vibration devices, and it is difficult to secure space for installation. However, if a vibration device is located inside the shoe, it is permanently fixed and embedded inside the shoe, which has the disadvantage that it is impossible to separate, repair, or replace the vibration device unless the shoe is discarded or damaged.

[0005] In order to overcome the limitations of the prior art and prior patents described above, the inventors devised an invention in which a shoe insole is equipped with a vibration device. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0017] The above insole can be manufactured as a segmented type that covers the back of the foot.

[0018] The above-mentioned vibrating device can be attached to the part that supports the heel. The present invention also provides a shoe that includes the above-mentioned insole.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0024] While the present invention can be modified in various ways and may have various embodiments, specific embodiments are shown in the drawings, and the specific details for carrying out the invention will be described in detail. However, it should be understood that this is not intended to limit the present invention to any particular embodiment, but rather to include all modifications, equivalents, or substitutions that fall within the spirit and art of the invention.

[0025] Figure 1 is a perspective view of the insole 100 (hereinafter simply referred to as "insole") for a shoe for health improvement equipped with the vibration device of the present invention, before assembly. Figure 2 is a perspective view of Figure 1 from the opposite direction before assembly. Figure 3 is a perspective view of the insole of Figure 2 from below the shoe.

[0026] Referring together to these drawings, the insole 100 of the present invention includes an upper insole 2, a vibration device 1, and a lower insole 4. The upper insole 2 is manufactured to conform to the shape, size, and skeletal structure of the sole of the foot. A long, slightly recessed groove 20 is formed on the upper surface of the upper insole 2. The groove 20 allows the wearer to feel the vibrations of the vibration device 1 more strongly. However, the groove 20 is not an essential requirement of the present invention as long as the vibrations of the vibration device 1 are transmitted smoothly.

[0027] The lower insole 4 is attached or bonded to approximately half of the underside of the upper insole 2. The lower insole 4 corresponds to a bottom panel or reinforcing panel. Near the center of the lower insole 4, a circular housing groove 40 capable of accommodating the vibration device 1 is formed in a concave shape with its underside closed. Opposite this, an upper hole 20a is formed in the upper insole 2 in the region facing the housing groove 40 within the portion where the concave groove 20 is formed.

[0028] A heel accommodating hole 42 corresponding to the heel is formed at the rear of the lower insole 4. A heel pad (not shown) may be fitted into the heel accommodating hole 42.

[0029] Since the lower insole 4 covers the rear of the middle section of the upper insole 2, only the lower insole 4 needs to be replaced, making the assembly and replacement of the vibration device 1 extremely simple. Furthermore, when attaching the heel pad to the heel housing hole 42, only the lower insole 4 needs to be assembled, and the lower insole 4 does not cover the ball of the foot pad housing section 22 of the upper insole 2, which will be described later. Therefore, the attachment and adjustment of the heel pad can be done via the lower insole 4, and the attachment and adjustment of the ball of the foot pad in the ball of the foot pad housing section 22 can be done via the upper insole 2, making assembly and replacement extremely simple and ergonomically advantageous.

[0030] The vibrating device 1 is installed in the space between the housing groove 40 of the lower insole 4 and the upper hole 20a of the upper insole 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the vibrating device 1 is circular, but it can be manufactured in various curved or rectangular shapes, as well as elliptical shapes. The vibrating device 1 is housed inside the housing groove 40 and is preferably manufactured to be thin so as not to cause discomfort or rejection when it comes into contact with the wearer's body that is in contact with the upper insole 2. If the size of the vibrating device 1, especially its thickness (height), must be greater than a minimum value, it is preferable to make the height of the upper insole 2 or lower insole 4 slightly thicker as needed so that the vibrating device 1 does not come into contact with or protrude from the upper surface of the insole 100.

[0031] The insole 100 of the present invention is assembled by bonding or attaching the lower insole 4 to the upper insole 2 with the vibrating device 1 housed or placed on it. The upper and lower insoles 2 and 4 can be assembled semi-permanently as a single unit by adhesive, heat, or stitching, but they can also be assembled using a forced press-fit method or fastening members so that they can be separated when necessary. The latter is convenient when the vibrating device 1 needs to be replaced, repaired, or inspected.

[0032] Figure 4 is a perspective view of the insole 100 of the present invention, assembled as described above, viewed from below. The vibrating device 1 is embedded in the space between the upper insole 2 and the lower insole 4, and is finished with a smooth surface so as not to be exposed or protruding to the outside. The lower insole 4 is tightly coupled to the entire rear of the upper insole 2, and the insole 100 as a whole does not give the impression of being separate or protruding. The lower insole 4 can be modified in various ways in terms of size and shape, such as by removing or reshaping other parts, as long as the portion that accommodates the vibrating device 1 is essential.

[0033] Preferably, the vibration device 1 is mounted slightly below the sole of the foot, relative to the longitudinal direction of the insole 100, as shown by the circle, that is, in a position that includes the arch portion that rises the highest in the sole of the foot, according to the structure of the human body. This ensures that even when the vibration device 1 is installed, there is still sufficient space to prevent direct contact with the sole of the foot, and vibrations can be effectively transmitted to the entire arch structure of the sole of the foot, relative to the vibration transmission point at the tip of the arch. This effect can be further enhanced in accordance with the groove 20.

[0034] In contrast, the vibration device 1 can be installed in the heel housing hole 42 so as to apply vibration to the part that houses the heel of the foot.

[0035] From the underside of the upper insole 2, a toe ball pad accommodating section 22 is formed, extending horizontally and sloping forward from the center towards both ends. This is intended to elastically support the thick, downwardly curved ball of the foot, and a toe ball pad (not shown) may be fitted.

[0036] Next, an insole 100 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 5 and 6. Figure 5 is a perspective view of the insole 100 of the present invention viewed from above, and Figure 6 is a bottom view of the insole viewed from below.

[0037] Similar to the first embodiment, a groove 20 is formed on the upper surface of the insole 100. On the front side of the upper surface of the insole 100, a first pad 22a is formed. Its position coincides with the transverse arch line of the forefoot, which connects the endpoints of the medial and lateral longitudinal arches of the human body, and is at the midpoint when viewed from the width direction of the upper surface, i.e., a position that is not biased to the left or right. On the front of the upper surface of the insole 100, two second pads 22b are formed in a fan shape or curved triangular shape to correspond to the toes and elastically support the toes. Similar to the first embodiment, a toe ball pad housing 22 is formed on the lower surface of the insole 100. This has an asymmetrical shape on the left and right sides, which is to accommodate people whose toe balls are of different sizes on the left and right sides.

[0038] The vibration device 1 is attached to the area slightly below the sole of the foot, relative to the longitudinal direction of the insole 100, as shown by the circles in Figures 5 and 6. This is because, structurally, the arch of the foot is the highest point on the sole. The advantages of this attachment position are as described above.

[0039] In the second embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the insole 100 is described on the premise that it has the vibration device 1 embedded and built in, rather than being assembled separately. However, as in the first embodiment, it is also possible to combine or attach the upper surface of the insole as the upper insole 2 and all or part of the lower surface of the insole as the lower insole 4.

[0040] As described above, because the present invention incorporates a vibration device into the insole, it can transmit vibrations to the wearer's body more strongly and closely than when the vibration device is installed in the midsole, outsole, or heel. Furthermore, it eliminates the intermediate process of incorporating the vibration device into the shoe itself, which is advantageous in terms of process reduction and cost. In addition, if the vibration device malfunctions or needs to be replaced, only the insole can be replaced, or if the insole can be disassembled, only the vibration device can be removed and separated, making it economical and easy to maintain.

[0041] Next, an embodiment of the vibration device 1 of the present invention will be described. The vibration device 1 is based on the principle disclosed in the applicant's prior patent, but it is possible to realize a vibration device 1 that does not use magnets.

[0042] Figure 7 is a plan view showing the upper case of the vibration device 1 of the present invention, Figure 8 is a plan view showing the lower case of the vibration device, and Figure 9 is a plan view of the vibration element 1a of the present invention.

[0043] First, in Figure 9, the vibrating element 1a includes a vertically elongated rectangular support portion 100a having slots formed at both the left and right ends, and a slender connecting bar 100b connecting the center of the support portion 100a. A pair of arc-shaped or bow-shaped vibrating plates 100c are formed in the longitudinal center of the connecting bar 100b, with the center being recessed and curving upward (or downward) as it extends to the left and right. The width of the vibrating plates 100c is made as narrow as possible. Weights 100d, which are heavier than the other parts, are formed at the left and right ends of each vibrating plate 100c. The weights 100d can also be attached to the vibrating plates 100c as separate components. From the viewpoint of vertical vibration, it is preferable that the area of ​​the weights 100d be made sufficiently larger than the width of the vibrating plates 100c.

[0044] The upper case 120a and the lower case 120b are manufactured to house and support the vibration element 1a. Specifically, a slot projection 1200b and a slot housing portion 1200a that connect to the slot projection 1200b are formed on both sides of the lower and upper cases 120b and 120a, respectively, to fixate and house the slot of the support portion 100a. A fastening groove 1202a and a fastening projection 1202b that connects to the fastening groove 1202a are formed on the lower and upper cases 120b and 120a, respectively, in a corresponding manner. After passing all the slots of the support portion 100a through the slot projection 1200b of the lower case 120b, the upper and lower cases are joined and pushed together, causing the slot projection 1200b to connect to the slot housing portion 1200a, and the fastening groove 1202a and fastening projection 1202b to connect, completing the vibration device 1.

[0045] When the vibration device 1 is attached to the insole 100, vibrations generated when the user moves or performs actions while wearing the shoe are transmitted to the vibration plate 100c, causing the four weights 100d, which have large weights and occupied areas, to vibrate at their maximum amplitude. These vibrations are transmitted to the support part 100a via the thin vibration plate 100c, but since the support part 100a is fixed to the case, the vibrations are diffused throughout the entire case through the support part 100a. Therefore, vibrations are concentrated on the part of the wearer's sole adjacent to or facing the vibration device 1, and in addition to acupressure or massage effects, a health-promoting effect that improves blood flow can be expected.

[0046] Figure 10 is a plan view showing the upper case of the vibration device 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 11 is a plan view showing the lower case of the vibration device. The case structure of this embodiment is the same as that of the embodiment described above, so redundant explanations are omitted. In this other embodiment, the difference is that the branching portion to which the vibration plate 100c is connected to the connecting bar 100b is long, and the extensions extending from the end of the branching portion are curved to the left and right, forming an overall "M" shape.

[0047] Specifically, as shown in Figure 11, the vibrating plate 100c is constructed by arranging segments symmetrically vertically, with the longest length being each branch connected vertically from the connecting bar 100b, the outer end of the branch providing a vertex, and after being extended horizontally in the left-right direction relative to the vertex, it again downward vertically toward the connecting bar 100b, forming a second branch shorter in length than the first branch, and extending from the second branch so as to be inclined toward the support part 100a, forming an extension with a weight attached to the other end to form an "M" shape.

[0048] A weight 100d is attached to the tip of the extension. As shown in the figure, the weight 100d may be a heavy metal made of a different material than the vibrating plate 100c.

[0049] In this embodiment as well, similar to the above, the vertical vibration of the weight 100d is expected to concentrate vibrations on the part of the wearer's sole adjacent to or facing the vibration device 1.

[0050] The above describes preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the size and shape of the vibration element 1a can be modified as appropriate.

[0051] <Vibration device equipped with a magnet> Figure 12 shows an embodiment of the vibration device 1 equipped with magnets according to the present invention, including the upper and lower cases 120a and 120b. In this embodiment, upper magnets 30a are installed evenly at four locations on the lower surface of the upper case 120a, surrounding its sides, and four lower magnets 30b are installed on the upper surface of the lower case 120b in positions opposite to the upper magnets 30a. The upper magnets 30a and lower magnets 30b are arranged so that the same poles face each other, and a repulsive force acts between them. The lower magnets 30b protrude slightly upward from the lower case 120b, and posts can be interposed to reduce the distance between them and the upper magnets 30a, or cylindrical magnets can be used, or stacked disc-shaped magnets can be used. Disc-shaped magnets can be used for the upper magnets 30a.

[0052] When using an insole 100 equipped with a vibration device 1 of this structure, even minute movements and vibrations caused by the pressure between the wearer's sole and the ground cause the magnets to repel each other and push against one another. As a result, vibrations are transmitted to the case centered on the position where the magnets are installed, and vibrations are effectively applied to the sole of the wearer's foot.

[0053] Figure 12 shows an embodiment in which there is no vibrating plate and the magnet itself constitutes the vibrating element, but it will be easy to understand the use of a vibrating element with a vibrating plate. For example, in the two embodiments described in the section, the weight can be replaced with a magnet, and an upper magnet and a lower magnet can be installed in the upper and lower cases facing it.

[0054] Furthermore, Figure 13 is a plan view showing the upper case of the vibration device 1 of the present invention, Figure 14 is a plan view showing the lower case of the vibration device, and Figure 15 is a plan view of the vibration element 100 of the present invention.

[0055] The case structure is almost the same as that of the previously described embodiment, so redundant explanations will be omitted. The vibrating element 1a includes a support section 100a and a vibrating plate 100c. Since the vibrating plate 100c consists of two independent segments that are vertically symmetrical, the description will be based on the upper segment. The vibrating plate 100c includes a reference bar 100e that extends long parallel to the longitudinal direction, a bent section 100f that branches off to the left and right from the tip of the reference bar 100e and bends, and fluid magnets 30c attached to both ends of the bent section 100f. Both ends of the bent section 100f may be manufactured in a shape similar to that of the weight 100d in order to support the large and heavy fluid magnets 30c. There are four fluid magnets 30c in total. Accordingly, four upper magnets 30a are installed on the lower surface of the upper case 120a, and four lower magnets 30b are installed on the upper surface of the lower case 120b. The upper surface of each flow magnet 30c is positioned so that a surface having the same polarity as the upper magnet 30a is located there, and as a result, the lower surface of each flow magnet 30c is positioned so that a surface having the same polarity as the lower magnet 30b is located there there.

[0056] The embodiment shown in Figure 13 differs from the above embodiment in that the support portion 100a is installed on only one side, forming a so-called cantilever structure. However, because this structure has only one fixed point, more efficient vertical vibration can be expected.

[0057] When the vibration device 1 is attached to the insole 100, vibrations generated when the user moves or walks while wearing the shoe are transmitted either directly to the flow magnet 30c or via the vibration plate 100c. When the flow magnet 30c moves upward, it is pushed downward by the repulsive force of the upper magnet 30a, and when it moves downward, it is pushed upward by the repulsive force of the lower magnet 30b, repeating an up-and-down vibration cycle. These vibrations are transmitted to the support part 100a along the narrow vibration plate 100c structure, but the support part 100a is fixed to the case in a cantilevered manner, and the vibrations are diffused throughout the case with the support part 100a as the center. Therefore, vibrations are concentrated on the part of the wearer's sole adjacent to or facing the vibration device 1, and in addition to acupressure and massage effects, health-promoting effects such as improved blood flow can be expected.

[0058] <Example of a vibration device constructed with a vibration chip> In addition to the embodiments described above, the vibration device of the present invention can also utilize a vibration chip as shown in Figure 17. The vibration chip is equipped with a vibration element and is a vibration chip other than the specific examples of the embodiments described above, and is equipped with a vibration member that vibrates like a speaker membrane by utilizing a piezoelectric element or by magnetic force or electromagnetic drive. In this case, the insole can be manufactured as a segmented type that covers the rear of the foot, as shown in the figure.

[0059] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, various changes and modifications are possible with respect to the present invention, and it is clear that the scope of the rights of the present invention extends to the same or equivalent area as the claims described below.
