Description

  The present invention relates to an arch-forming pad for a sole, more specifically, the ligament of the foot is loosened and the arch in the vertical and lateral directions is lost due to the extension foot, etc. The present invention relates to an arch-forming pad for soles provided for the purpose of eliminating the cause of the pain.

Generally, there are arches on the soles called lateral footbows (lateral arches) on the soles and longitudinal footbows (vertical arches) on the inside and outside of the soles. The existence improves the imbalance of the weight burden on the sole.
Therefore, if this arch is lost or collapsed for any reason, the toes and soles hurt or become very tired. If left unattended, weight movement on the sole of the foot during walking will not be performed normally, causing foot disorders such as hallux valgus, club valgus, hammer toe, metatarsal bone head pain, flat feet, and even to the knees. When the burden on the patient increased, secondary disorders such as O-legs developed.

As a countermeasure against such arch loss, a pad having a form in which an arch pad having a gentle convex shape is attached to an insole of a shoe has been proposed (Patent Documents 1 and 2).

JP-A-11-226042 JP 2003-88405 A

The arch forming pads for soles described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are not attached directly to the soles, but are attached to the soles or insoles of the shoes that are the contact surfaces of the soles. , The fit to the sole was inadequate. In particular, there is a problem in that it cannot cope with the change in the shape of the foot due to swelling of the foot in the morning and evening, the position of the pad may be shifted, and the pain of pressing the displaced pad will cause unnecessary pain.

Furthermore, since the conventional pad simply has a bulging structure as a whole, the entire surface of the pad comes into contact with the recessed portion of the sole with a uniform contact pressure. This is important for the formation of the foot arch. There has also been a problem that it is not possible to apply correction pressure to return the bones to their proper positions by pressing the foot bones, wedge bones, cubic bones, etc. with the fine convex portions of the pad.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and can be applied directly to the appropriate position of the sole, and pressure can be applied to always lift the metatarsal bone, wedge bone, cubic bone, etc. upward. It is intended to provide a sole arching pad.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 is characterized in that two convex ridges are formed on one side of a flat pad body made of elastic resin at intervals of 3 to 13 mm. An arch-forming pad for a sole, wherein a silicone adhesive is applied to a sole attachment surface located on the opposite side of the surface on which a ridge is formed.

The invention according to claim 2 is the sole arch forming pad according to claim 1, wherein the planar shape of the flat pad body is a heart shape.

The invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that the central portion of the flat pad body is formed in a bulging shape, and the thickness dimension is gradually reduced toward the peripheral edge of the flat pad body. The foot arch forming pad according to 1 or 2.

As described above, according to the sole arch forming pad of the first aspect, the convex ridge portion of the flat pad body is brought into contact with the metatarsal bone, the wedge bone, the cubic bone and the like important for the formation of the foot arch. In the case where the flat pad body is formed on the opposite side of the sole padding surface of the flat pad body, the flat pad body is pasted on the sole using silicon adhesive, and the weight is applied to the sole, The protruding ridges push each bone upward through the flat pad body, thereby achieving the effect that the arch can be formed naturally.

In addition, the presence of silicon adhesive allows the flat pad body to be securely attached to the appropriate position of the sole, so that even if the sole shape changes due to swelling, The bones can always be pushed upward through the body, and the arch formation effect can be more reliably exhibited.
Further, since the flat pad body is made of an elastic resin, there is an effect that the impact force applied to the sole can be dispersed and absorbed reliably.

Moreover, according to the arch formation pad for soles of Claims 2 and 3, the overall design aesthetics can be improved and the effects of being easy to handle can be exhibited.

Embodiments of an arch forming pad for soles according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front view of a sole arch forming pad of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view thereof.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the foot arch forming pad according to the present invention has a thin plate shape in which the flat pad body 1 has a desired shape, and particularly preferably has a heart shape. And it is easy to obtain a user's favorable feeling, and it has the effect that it can contribute to the improvement of aesthetics.
Further, since the material is made of a resilient resin such as an elastomer, it is excellent in touch feeling and is effective in absorbing an impact applied to the sole by an appropriate elasticity.

Next, convex ridges 2a and 2b are formed at two locations on the opposite side of the sole attachment surface of the flat pad body 1, and the dimension L between the convex ridges is about 3 to 13 mm. is there.
The heights of the ridges 2a and 2b are substantially the same as the height of the flat pad body 1, but the height may be freely changed according to the user's preference. Of course.

The ridges 2a and 2b are attached to the soles of the feet so that the flat limbs 2a and 2b come into contact with the metatarsals, wedge bones, cuboids, etc., which are important for the formation of the foot arch, via the flat pad body Therefore, when the weight is applied to the sole of the foot, the raised ridges 2a and 2b push the bones upward through the flat pad body, whereby the arch can be formed naturally. Here, the fact that the raised ridges 2a and 2b push the bones upward through the flat pad body means that the shape of the tips of the raised ridges 2a and 2b is not directly applied to the sole of the foot, so that a gentle pressing force is applied. This means that a wide surface pressure can be applied.
Although the dimension L between the raised portions 2a and 2b depends on individual differences, it can be sufficiently handled if an interval of about 3 to 13 mm is secured.

Since the silicon adhesive 3 is applied to the sole attachment surface of the flat pad body 1, the flat pad body 1 can be reliably attached to the intended position of the sole, and the attachment state is stable. Will be held.

The overall shape of the flat pad body 1 of the present invention is a uniform flat plate as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 (the upper part of the flat pad body 1 is thickened and the lower part is gradually thinned). As another example, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the central portion of the flat pad body 1 is formed in a bulging shape and gradually increases in thickness toward the peripheral edge of the flat pad body 1. It is also possible to form such that the thickness is thin.

Next, the actual method of use will be described with reference to FIG. 7. Reference numeral 4 indicates the sole, 5 is the arch, 6 is the heel, and the arch forming pads 11, 21, 31 for the sole attached to the sole are The foot arching pad number 11 is for hallux valgus, 21 is for hallux valgus, 31 is common to all cases Used.

The sole arch forming pad according to the present invention can be used particularly for all people who feel discomfort in the sole, and can also be used in the field of sports and reflexology.

It is a front view of the arch formation pad for soles of this invention. It is the same side view. It is the same perspective view. It is a bottom view of the other Example of the arch formation pad for soles of this invention. It is the same side view. It is the sectional view on the AA line in FIG. It is explanatory drawing which shows the actual usage example.
