[0063] The specific features and advantages of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. If a detailed description of the functions and configurations of the present invention is deemed to unnecessarily obscure the gist of the invention, the detailed description will be omitted.
[0064]
[0065] The present invention relates to a shoe-mounted earthing device that can implement the effect of walking barefoot even while wearing shoes, and more specifically, to a shoe-mounted earthing device that can implement the effect of walking barefoot even while wearing shoes that can receive negative charges from the ground and neutralize active oxygen in the body to control the body's electrical balance.
[0066]
[0067] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
[0068]
[0069] FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a shoe-mounted earthing device that can implement a barefoot walking effect even when wearing a shoe (10) according to the present invention, mounted on a shoe (10), FIG. 2 is a side view showing a shoe-mounted earthing device that can implement a barefoot walking effect even when wearing a shoe (10) according to the present invention, mounted on a shoe (10), and FIG. 3 is a bottom view showing a shoe-mounted earthing device that can implement a barefoot walking effect even when wearing a shoe (10) according to the present invention, mounted on a shoe (10).
[0070]
[0071] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, a shoe (10)-mounted earthing device capable of realizing a barefoot walking effect even while wearing a shoe (10) according to the present invention is characterized by including: a conductor (200) formed of a conductive metal so as to receive a negative charge from the ground whenever the conductor (200) is positioned on the bottom surface of the shoe (10) and comes into contact with the ground; an earthing strap (100) having one end connected to the conductor (200) and the other end positioned inside the shoe (10) and then coming into contact with the foot to transfer the negative charge; a reinforcing plate (300) attached to the bottom surface of the shoe (10) to support and protect the conductor (200) and the earthing strap (100) and formed so that the conductor (200) can be exposed to the outside; and a conductivity tester (400) formed on the tongue of the shoe (10) so as to visually check the conduction state between the earthing strap (100) and the conductor (200).
[0072]
[0073] In addition, it is characterized in that it further includes a connecting plate (210) formed on the upper part of the reinforcing plate (300) to connect the conductor (200) and the reinforcing plate (300) to each other in order to prevent the conductor (200) from being separated from the reinforcing plate (300).
[0074]
[0075] In addition, the conductivity tester (400) is characterized by comprising a battery formed to be able to supply power, a first cable (420) connected to the battery formed to be able to supply power, a second cable (430) connected to the other end of the earthing strap (100), an LED (440) formed in a hole of a shoe's laces and emitting light according to the current-carrying state of the first cable (420) and the second cable (430) to check for damage or a conductivity state of the earthing strap (100), and a switch (410) formed to selectively operate the LED (440) by supplying or cutting off power of the battery.
[0076]
[0077] In addition, the reinforcing plate (300) is formed of a silicone material so that it can adhere closely to the bottom surface of the shoe (10), and is characterized in that a silicone adhesive is applied to the bottom surface of the shoe (10) to fill in the unevenness or grooves of the shoe (10) and then the reinforcing plate (300) is attached.
[0078]
[0079] The present invention can be used for the purpose of neutralizing positive charges in the body by receiving negative charges through walking barefoot by attaching an earthing device to a shoe (10), and provides a configuration that can visually confirm damage to the earthing device due to frictional force generated when walking while wearing a shoe (10).
[0080]
[0081] Here, shoes (10) may include general-purpose shoes, sneakers, hiking boots, slippers, etc. used to protect the feet, and anything else that can be worn on the feet may be applied.
[0082]
[0083] The conductor (200) is formed on the bottom surface of the shoe (10) and is positioned between the shoe (10) and the ground when walking while wearing the shoe (10) so that it can receive negative charges from the ground.
[0084]
[0085] At this time, it is preferable that the conductor (200) be formed of metal to prevent friction and damage due to contact with the ground, and in the present invention, a plate-shaped metal body made of copper material with high electrical conductivity will be described as a standard.
[0086]
[0087] In addition, the shape of the conductor (200) is expressed as a square, but it can be formed into a circle or square, and the shape can be changed in various ways depending on the shoe (10).
[0088]
[0089] The location where the conductor (200) is attached to the shoe (10) may be anywhere on the bottom surface, but in order to facilitate installation of the earthing strap (100), it is most preferable to position it on the bottom surface of the outer sole of the user's heel, as shown in FIG. 3.
[0090]
[0091] The earthing strap (100) is used to connect the conductor (200) and the user's foot to each other to transfer the negative charge transferred from the ground to the user's foot, and the user can receive the negative charge through the earthing strap (100) even while wearing shoes (10) and neutralize the positive charge in the body.
[0092]
[0093] In addition, the earthing strap (100) is shaped like a belt and has a conductive adhesive applied to it so that it can be attached to a shoe (10), so that one end of the earthing strap (100) is connected to a conductor (200), the middle end is sequentially attached to the bottom surface, outer skin, and inner skin of the shoe (10), and the other end can be attached to the insole that comes into contact with the user's heel.
[0094]
[0095] Accordingly, the earthing strap (100) can connect the outside and inside of the shoe (10), and a conductive layer made of copper is formed inside the earthing strap (100), so that a negative charge can be transferred from the conductor (200) and transferred to the user's foot.
[0096]
[0097] That is, the earthing strap (100) can always maintain contact with the ground even when the user is wearing the shoes (10), and since it remains attached to the outer skin, inner skin, and insole of the shoes (10), it is possible to prevent the earthing strap (100) from being detached when putting on or taking off the shoes (10).
[0098]
[0099] In order to easily install the conductor (200) and the earthing strap (100) and connect them at the shortest distance, it is preferable that the conductor (200) be formed at a vertical position based on the entrance part for inserting the foot into the shoe (10).
[0100]
[0101] In addition, it is preferable that the earthing strap (100) be installed in the direction of the arch of the foot to minimize exposure to the outside when wearing shoes (10). In this case, when shoes (10) are worn on both feet, the earthing strap (100) is positioned between the two shoes (10), so that it can have a covering effect.
[0102]
[0103] That is, it is desirable to install the earthing strap (100) in the right direction for the left shoe (10) and in the left direction for the right shoe (10), so that when the two shoes (10) are worn, the earthing strap (100) is positioned between the shoes (10).
[0104]
[0105] The reinforcing plate (300) is used to stably support the position where the conductor (200) is fixed to the bottom surface of the shoe (10) and to prevent the conductor (200) from being detached from the shoe (10) by receiving an external force in the horizontal direction.
[0106]
[0107] The reinforcing plate (300) is formed in a plate shape using silicone material and can be used by attaching it to the bottom surface of a shoe (10) using an adhesive. The center of the reinforcing plate (300) is opened so that the conductor (200) can be exposed to the outside.
[0108]
[0109] At this time, if there are uneven surfaces formed on the bottom of the shoe (10) to prevent slipping, it is preferable to fill the grooves between the uneven surfaces using liquid silicone or silicone adhesive to form a flat surface and then attach the reinforcing plate (300) to improve the contact area of the reinforcing plate (300) and prevent the reinforcing plate (300) from being separated when walking with the shoe (10) on.
[0110]
[0111] In addition, it is preferable that the lower surface of the reinforcing plate (300) be formed with protrusions or grooves of the same shape as the shoe (10) to improve friction and prevent slipping, and it is also preferable that the color of the reinforcing plate (300) be matched to the bottom surface of the shoe (10) so that the reinforcing plate (300) is not easily recognized when viewed from the outside.
[0112]
[0113] That is, the conductor (200) is positioned between the reinforcing plate (300) and the bottom surface of the shoe (10), and has a structure in which it can be exposed to the lower surface of the reinforcing plate (300) through the opened portion of the reinforcing plate (300) and come into contact with the ground.
[0114]
[0115] At this time, the conductor (200) can be fixed at the edge while being inserted into the opening of the reinforcing plate (300), so that the conductor (200) can be prevented from being detached or separated from the bottom surface of the shoe (10) due to external force generated when walking while wearing the shoe (10).
[0116]
[0117] The connecting plate (210) is used to connect the reinforcing plate (300) and the conductor (200) to each other after being bonded to the upper part of the conductor (200) to prevent the conductor (200) from falling into or being separated from the open portion of the reinforcing plate (300).
[0118]
[0119] At this time, it is preferable that the connecting plate (210) be formed in a plate shape and be formed to be larger than the opening of the reinforcing plate (300) so that the connecting plate (210) can be fixed to the upper surface of the reinforcing plate (300).
[0120]
[0121] The connecting plate (210) may be formed of copper or nickel, and is preferably connected to the conductor (200) using an adhesive, spot welding, rivet, or other method.
[0122]
[0123] If necessary, the conductor (200) can be manufactured and installed in a T-shaped cross-section without a connecting plate (210).
[0124]
[0125] As shown in Fig. 3, by forming the conductor (200) and the connecting plate (210) into a rectangular shape and then rotating the connecting plate (210) by 90 degrees while matching the center points, the conductor (200) is prevented from passing through the opening and the connecting plate (210) is prevented from passing through the opening.
[0126]
[0127] At this time, the connecting plate (210) that comes into contact with the upper surface of the reinforcing plate (300) can be fixed in a state of being attached to the reinforcing plate (300) using an adhesive or tape, thereby preventing the conductor (200) from being separated from the reinforcing plate (300) while being exposed to the outside through the lower surface of the reinforcing plate (300).
[0128]
[0129] The conductivity tester (400) is located on the sulfur of the shoe (10) and is used to visually display the electrical conductivity between the earthing strap (100) and the conductor (200). It can be fixed by the shoe (10) lace or mounted on the sulfur by a fixing ring at the rear.
[0130]
[0131] In order to implement the barefoot walking effect, it is important that there is no short circuit between the conductor (200) and the earthing strap (100). However, if a short circuit occurs due to damage caused by friction or external force while walking, there is a problem in that the user has difficulty noticing this and thus does not receive a negative charge.
[0132]
[0133] The conduction tester (400) has a replaceable battery formed inside, and a switch (410) for supplying or cutting off power to the battery is provided on the outside, so that the user can selectively operate the switch (410) to check for a malfunction in the earthing device.
[0134]
[0135] At this time, the first cable (420) and the second cable (430) are connected to the other end of the conductor (200) and the earthing strap (100), respectively, and the first cable (420) is connected to the positive electrode of the battery, and the second cable (430) is connected to the LED (440).
[0136]
[0137] In addition, the first cable (420) and the second cable (430) are generally formed of metal wires coated with insulation and having a core made of a conductive material, but may be replaced with a copper tape if necessary.
[0138]
[0139] When using copper tape, it is preferable that a covering material be formed so that it can be insulated from the earthing strap (100).
[0140]
[0141] In addition, it is preferable that the switch (410) be connected to the negative electrode of the battery and the LED (440). Even if the switch (410) is in the ON state, if a short circuit occurs between the conductor (200) and the earthing strap (100), the first cable (420) and the second cable (430) are not connected to each other, so the LED (440) does not light up.
[0142]
[0143] In the normal state, when the switch (410) is operated, the first cable (420) and the second cable (430) are energized by the conductor (200) and the earthing strap (100), so that the LED (440) lights up, and the user can easily check whether the earthing device is damaged through the light of the LED (440).
[0144]
[0145] At this time, it is preferable that the LED (440) be installed in a form that is inserted into the shoelace hole (10) into which the shoelace is inserted so that it is difficult to visually confirm the presence or absence of the LED (440) when it is not emitting light.
[0146]
[0147] If necessary, the LED (440) may be formed integrally with the conductivity tester (400) rather than being formed in the string hole.
[0148]
[0149] In addition, it is preferable that the first cable (420) and the second cable (430) be formed with a one-touch connector to facilitate attachment and detachment when the earthing strap (100) or conductor (200) is damaged and needs to be replaced.
[0150]
[0151] In addition, it is preferable that the first cable (420) is connected to the conductor (200) and then moves along the earthing strap (100) to the upper part of the shoe (10) and then moves along the sewing line of the shoe (10) to the suede, and the second cable (430) is preferably connected to the other end of the earthing strap (100) attached to the insole and then moves along the sewing line of the shoe (10) to the suede from the opposite side of the first cable (420).
[0152]
[0153] That is, since the first cable (420) and the second cable (430) are attached along the sewing line of the shoe (10), it is desirable to make it difficult to easily recognize the first cable (420) and the second cable (430) when viewed from the outside.
[0154]
[0155] At this time, it is preferable that the first cable (420) be moved to the upper part of the shoe (10) while being attached to the outer surface of the shoe (10) by the earthing strap (100), and the first cable (420) can be fixed to the outer surface of the shoe (10) by the adhesive force of the earthing strap (100).
[0156]
[0157] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a combined shoe (10)-mounted earthing device that can implement a barefoot walking effect even when wearing a shoe (10) according to the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing an exploded view of a shoe (10)-mounted earthing device that can implement a barefoot walking effect even when wearing a shoe (10) according to the present invention.
[0158]
[0159] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the reinforcing plate (300) of the shoe (10)-mounted earthing device, which can implement a barefoot walking effect even when the shoe (10) according to the present invention is worn, is characterized in that it further includes a through hole (310) formed in the center and penetrating from top to bottom so that the lower surface of the conductor (200) can be exposed, a support groove (320) formed in the upper portion of the through hole (310) and arranged in a different direction from the through hole (310) so that the connecting plate (210) can be embedded in the reinforcing plate (300), and a mounting groove (330) formed on the side of the support groove (320) so that the earthing strap (100) connected to the conductor (200) can be embedded in the reinforcing plate (300).
[0160]
[0161] The reinforcing plate (300) is formed so that the conductor (200), connecting plate (210), earthing strap (100), and first cable (420) can be embedded and fixed in position.
[0162]
[0163] At this time, the through hole (310) is formed by penetrating from the central upper surface of the reinforcing plate (300) to the lower surface, and is formed in the same shape as the conductor (200), so that when the conductor (200) is inserted, the lower surface of the conductor (200) can be exposed to the outside.
[0164]
[0165] It is preferable that the through hole (310) be formed so that the long horizontal direction faces the left and right directions of the reinforcing plate (300) to provide a space in which the rectangular conductor (200) can be connected to the earthing strap (100). This allows space to remain at the edge of the conductor (200) even when the connecting plate (210) is attached to the upper portion of the conductor (200), thereby making it easier to attach the earthing strap (100).
[0166]
[0167] In the center of the upper surface of the reinforcing plate (300) in which the through hole (310) is formed, a support groove (320) is formed in a different direction from the through hole (310) so that the connecting plate (210) can be embedded in the reinforcing plate (300).
[0168]
[0169] The support groove (320) is used to fix the connecting plate (210) by embedding it in the upper surface of the reinforcing plate (300), and since the connecting plate (210) can be fixed by being bonded to the support groove (320), it is possible to prevent the position of the connecting plate (210) from being distorted or dislodged due to friction or external force generated when walking.
[0170]
[0171] In addition, the support groove (320) is formed in the same rectangular shape as the connecting plate (210) and is arranged in a different direction from the through hole (310) so that the long horizontal direction faces the front-back direction of the reinforcing plate (300).
[0172]
[0173] It is preferable that the depth of the support groove (320) be different depending on the thickness of the connecting plate (210), and since the connecting plate (210) is used to fix the conductor (200), the total thickness of the connecting plate (210) and the conductor (200) combined should be formed to be greater than the thickness of the reinforcing plate (300).
[0174]
[0175] In order to allow the conductor (200) to come into contact with the ground, when the thickness of the reinforcing plate (300) is 1 mm, it is preferable that the total thickness of the conductor (200) and the connecting plate (210) be formed to be 1.05 to 1.1 mm, and the thickness of the conductor (200) and the connecting plate (210) should be formed to be greater than that of the reinforcing plate (300).
[0176]
[0177] When the thickness of the conductor (200) and the connecting plate (210) is the same as or smaller than the thickness of the reinforcing plate (300), the conductor (200) may be exposed to the outside when the reinforcing plate (300) made of silicone material is compressed, but depending on the degree of compression force, there may be cases where the conductor (200) does not come into contact with the ground.
[0178]
[0179] Therefore, it is recommended that the total thickness of the conductor (200) and the connecting plate (210) be formed to be greater than the thickness of the reinforcing plate (300) so that the conductor (200) can make sure contact with the ground.
[0180]
[0181] In addition, the connecting plate (210) is formed in a rectangular shape with the same size as the conductor (200) and is formed so that only the thickness is different, and when inserted into the support groove (320), it can be positioned to face in a different direction from the conductor (200).
[0182]
[0183] That is, the long horizontal direction of the conductor (200) is directed toward the left and right directions of the reinforcing plate (300) by the through hole (310), and the long horizontal direction of the connecting plate (210) is directed toward the front and rear directions of the reinforcing plate (300) by the support groove (320).
[0184]
[0185] Accordingly, the edge of the connecting plate (210) inserted into the support groove (320) can be fixed by being bonded to the reinforcing plate (300), and the conductor (200) coupled to the connecting plate (210) is exposed to the lower surface of the reinforcing plate (300) through the through hole (310), and a space can be provided on the upper edge of the conductor (200) to which an earthing strap (100) can be attached.
[0186]
[0187] In addition, the conductor (200) and the connecting plate (210) may be formed in a circular shape rather than a rectangular shape, and when formed in a circular shape, the shapes of the through hole (310) and the support groove (320) must also be formed in a circular shape, and the diameter of the connecting plate (210) must be formed larger than the diameter of the conductor (200).
[0188]
[0189] By manufacturing the conductor (200) in the form of a conductor (200) and a connecting plate (210) combined without forming a connecting plate (210) separately as needed, the conductor (200) can be inserted into and fixed in the support groove (320) and the through hole (310) without the connecting plate (210).
[0190]
[0191] The anchoring groove (330) is used to embed the earthing strap (100) and the first cable (420) and is dug in the center direction with a through hole (310) formed on the left or right side of the upper surface of the reinforcing plate (300).
[0192]
[0193] At this time, it is preferable that the anchoring groove (330) be dug inward from the upper surface of the reinforcing plate (300) by the combined thickness of the earthing strap (100) and the first cable (420), so that the first cable (420) and the earthing strap (100) are maintained in a state of being embedded in the anchoring groove (330).
[0194]
[0195] The earthing strap (100) and the first cable (420) are electrically connected to the conductor (200), and the connection method can be soldering, adhesive, or connector.
[0196]
[0197] In addition, since the earthing strap (100) has an adhesive layer formed on the lower surface, it can be adhesively attached to the mounting groove (330), and at this time, the first cable (420) located at the lower part of the earthing strap (100) can be fixed in position by the earthing strap (100).
[0198]
[0199] If necessary, a separate cable groove (330) may be additionally provided so that the first cable (420) can be buried in the anchoring groove (330), and the earthing strap (100) may be configured to be flatly attached to the anchoring groove (330).
[0200]
[0201] The earthing strap (100) is used to transfer negative charges from the conductor (200) to the user's feet. If the earthing strap (100) is damaged or a short circuit occurs internally, the negative charges will not be transferred.
[0202]
[0203] The first cable (420) and the second cable (430) are used to check for a short circuit between the earthing strap (100) and the conductor (200). The first cable (420) is connected to the conductor (200), and the second cable (430) is connected to the other end of the earthing strap (100) located inside the shoe (10).
[0204]
[0205] After the first cable (420) and the second cable (430) are connected to the conductivity tester (400) of Fig. 1, the current state can be checked through the LED (440), and through this, it is possible to check through the LED (440) whether the negative charge is normally transmitted to the body due to poor adhesion between the conductor (200) and the earthing strap (100), damage to the earthing strap (100), and the presence of a short circuit.
[0206]
[0207] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-section of an earthing strap (100) of a shoe (10)-mounted earthing device that can implement a barefoot walking effect even when wearing a shoe (10) according to the present invention.
[0208]
[0209] As illustrated in FIG. 6, the earthing strap (100) of the shoe (10)-mounted earthing device that can implement the barefoot walking effect even when the shoe (10) according to the present invention is worn is characterized by comprising a conductive tape (110) formed so that a conductive layer made of copper can be attached to the shoe (10) by a conductive adhesive so that negative charges can move, an insulating film (120) formed on the upper surface of the conductive tape (110) and formed of glass fiber to maintain an insulating state from the outside and prevent damage, and a release film (130) formed on the lower surface of the conductive tape (110) and formed so as to protect the conductive adhesive.
[0210]
[0211] The earthing strap (100) can be attached to the outer and inner surfaces of a shoe (10) using a conductive tape (110) capable of conducting electricity, and is formed to be able to move negative charges from a conductor (200) through electricity conduction.
[0212]
[0213] The conductive tape (110) has a conductive layer formed of a copper or silver material that conducts electricity, and a conductive adhesive containing conductive metal powder is formed on the lower surface, so that it can be attached to the outer and inner surfaces of the shoe (10), and the attached surface becomes capable of conducting electricity due to the copper or silver material.
[0214]
[0215] The conductive adhesive formed on the conductive tape (110) is a general adhesive component coated with copper powder, so that it can be electrically conductive with the conductive layer, and thus, when attached to a conductor (200), it can receive a negative charge from the conductor.
[0216]
[0217] At this time, the copper of the conductive tape (110) may be formed by arranging a plurality of fine wires in a mesh form or by closely contacting a plurality of wires along the length of the conductive tape (110).
[0218]
[0219] Since the upper surface of the conductive tape (110) is made without a conductive adhesive, even if the foot or sock comes into contact with the upper surface of the conductive tape (110) while it is attached to the insole of the shoe (10), it will not adhere.
[0220]
[0221] An insulating film (120) made of glass fiber is formed on the upper surface of the conductive tape (110), and an adhesive component for bonding to the conductive tape (110) is applied to the lower surface, so that the insulating film (120) can be attached.
[0222]
[0223] At this time, the width of the insulating film (120) is formed to be larger than that of the conductive tape (110), so that it wraps and protects the upper surface and both edges of the conductive tape (110), and at the same time, a portion of it can be attached to the shoe (10) to fix the conductive tape (110).
[0224]
[0225] The conductive layer of the conductive tape (110) is prevented and fixed by the insulating film (120) made of glass fiber so that it is not torn by tension and a short circuit occurs, and at the same time, damage caused by external force and impact generated when the shoe (10) moves is prevented from occurring.
[0226]
[0227] At this time, it is desirable to improve the sense of unity by making the color of the insulating film (120) match the color of the shoe (10) to which it is attached. Alternatively, insulating films (120) of various colors may be prepared, and then when the conductive tape (110) is attached to the shoe (10), an insulating film (120) matching the color of the shoe may be attached.
[0228]
[0229] In addition, it is preferable that the insulating film (120) is not formed on the other end of the earthing strap (100) so that the upper surface of the conductive tape (110) is exposed to the outside, thereby allowing the user's foot to come into contact with the conductive tape (110) and transfer the negative charge transferred from the conductor (200) to the user's foot.
[0230]
[0231] At this time, even if the user is wearing socks, if the socks become wet due to sweat generated from the user's feet, electrical conduction becomes possible between the earthing strap (100) and the user's feet.
[0232]
[0233] In addition, it is preferable that the conductive layer of the conductive tape (110) formed on the other end of the earthing strap (100) is formed of a silver material, and if formed of a copper material, the thin film copper layer is structurally weak and may be damaged by friction with the foot.
[0234]
[0235] In the case of silver material, it is more durable than thin-film copper, so it is less damaged by friction with the foot, and can stably transmit negative charges to the foot even when attached to the insole.
[0236]
[0237] The release paper (130) is used to protect the conductive adhesive formed on the lower surface of the conductive tape (110), and when attaching the earthing strap (100) to the shoe (10), by removing the release paper (130), the lower surface of the conductive tape (110) can be attached to the conductor (200), the reinforcing plate (300), the outer surface, the inner surface, and the insole of the shoe (10).
[0238]
[0239] As described above, the shoe-mounted earthing device according to the present invention, which can implement the barefoot walking effect even while wearing shoes, can be used by being mounted on shoes owned by the user, so it has excellent compatibility and can safely implement the barefoot walking effect, and the presence or absence of damage to the earthing device mounted on the shoe can be visually checked, and only the damaged part of the earthing device can be directly replaced by the user, and the part of the earthing device that comes into contact with the ground is minimized from damage due to wear or falling off, so that it can be used for a long time.
[0240]
[0241] While the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made to the invention without departing from the technical spirit and scope described in the claims. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be construed in accordance with the claims, which are intended to encompass these numerous modifications.
