This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/579,928, filed Jun. 15, 2004, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a shoe support or supportive insole. More specifically, the present invention relates to a flexible insole or shoe support construction containing a plurality of small sized items providing continuously flexible support.
2. Description of the Related Art
Many types of shoe supports exist for athletic and therapeutic purposes and several forms of rigidly supportive shoe insoles have been developed in pursuit of the same.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,325,920 by F. D. Werner et al., describes a process of filling external ankle sleeves or chambers on a ski boot with hardenable and expandable material (plastic foam is suggested) to provide permanent support during use. A user places their foot within the boot and the chambers are filled with the material which conforms to the shape of the ankle and lower leg and hardens, retaining the shape of the foot between uses. Werner also suggests that the chambers may be filled with particles (sand) surrounded with a sticky binder or sticky special coating such as wax, grease, or a tacky binder sufficient to cause the particles to stick together and provide the desired properties of retention of shape and firm support when the foot is removed. Werner warns that this alternative embodiment is inferior to the hardened material and further warns that this these goals cannot be achieved with liquid or air.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,552,044 by R. W. Wiele, describes a pad filled with soft elastomeric particles that do not shift but are elastically squeezed to adapt to a force applied to the pad providing a soft and comfortable elastomeric support.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,658,513 by Oatman, describes heat insulating footwear where spacer sheets are provided with a plurality of large area apertures that are loosely filled with particles of a soft elastomeric insulating plastic material.

The above, and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description read in conduction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals designate the same elements.
Referring now to
Sole member 1 is typically made from a material common to the shoe industry, and is often an expanded foam or shaped rubber or plastic material. Supporting recesses 2 may be formed in any conventional shape and may be replaced, in some designs, with a non-recess support surface. Alternative embodiments are envisioned wherein a support recess extends continually from the front portion to the rear portion of the sole member or assumes an alternatively adaptive shape and receives a correspondingly shaped support member (not shown)
As shown, the rear support member 4D includes top and bottom flexible or elastic skin members 5 (5A, 5B) joined by a continuous edge seam 6 about an outer periphery forming a glue flange region 14 extending outwardly. A glue layer 15 joins glue flange region 14 to sole member 1, as shown. As shown, bottom member 5B is larger than top member 5A and minimizes wrinkles and provides a good fit within recess 2, as will be described. In other embodiments, recesses 2 may be adaptively shaped with rounded corners or in two opposing shapes defining two side-by-side chambers to generally contain a plurality of small force or support members (as will be described).
In alternative embodiments, skin members 5, (5A, 5B) may be selected from different materials, porous or non-porous, elastic or non-elastic and flexible or non-flexible depending upon adaptations of the present design, without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
In one selected embodiment, bottom member 5B is selected from a substantially inelastic tough material to minimize abrasion and damage and increase support of top member 5A. In this selected embodiment, top member 5A is selected from a flexible elastic material enabling a ready displacement of supporting member vertically and torsionally within bounded recess 2 during use, but minimizing displacement laterally thereby minimizing damage to supporting member 4.
A plurality of force or support particles or members 8 is retained by skin member 5 within or on recesses 2 as shown. Particles 8 should be understood as small sized ⅛ inch or so generally firm or solid inelastic members and may be spherical, generally ovoid, ellipsoidal, pear-shaped or generally any relatively smoothly surfaced geometry bounding a volume.
In one preferred embodiment, the surface of each particle or member 8 preferably enables each particle to loosely slide (freely redistribute) relative to each other during decompression and yet tightly pack into a supporting matrix during compression supporting a user's foot (contrary to the generally continuous elastic nature of sole member 1, in for example sandals, or a molded rubber or plastic sole member found in higher heeled shoes).
In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, particles 8 are flax seeds and are beneficially shaped in an elongated-rounded shape (a flattened tear-drop ellipsoid) that enables the seeds to slide readily relative to each other under initial displacement force (enabling ready adaption to diverse foot structure), and upon further displacement packing together and resisting additional dispersion (enabling firm foot support during a complete leg-stride cycle).
Those of skill in the art of particle science, particle packing, rheology, and flow dynamics will understand that by selecting various particle shapes, surface textures, particle materials (rigid, flexible, elastic, etc.), or a selection of the same with or without lubricant, that the responsiveness and support of the supporting member may be tailored to a particular need (sport, therapy, walking), and that the continually adaptive resistance may be continually progressive (like an elastomer) or may act in a pseudo-plastic manner, or operate as a dilatent system (initial fluid flow/elastomeric state followed by a rigid state based on sheer forces (compression etc.) applied.
In a manufacturing method constructing the present apparatus, the elemental constructive steps are noted above. Where an embodiment employs flax seeds as particles 8, it is preferable, but not mandatory, to heat the seeds sufficiently (or take other measures) to prevent germination during use.
A general central region 7B on top member 5A of flexible member 5 aids in the useful separation of the force particles into two partial halves to minimize non-essential central pooling. Region 7B is not mandatory to the spirit and scope of the invention, but is useful in maintaining a common neutral position for particles 8 between user strides and preventing an unbalanced distribution of particles 8 (leading to temporary user discomfort while particles 8 are redistributed).
While front support member 4C may be constructed as described above, one alternative embodiment for front support member 4C is noted in
Front recess 2 includes a small central seam support tape member 11 extending along a bottom of front recess 2, and an elastomeric foam pad member 9 is secured above, generally using adhesive. Foam pad member 9 may be selected from any type of foam elastomeric material commonly used within the shoe industry. Foam pad member 9 serves to cushion and support a plurality of force members 8, as shown retained below flexible member (skin) 5A. A seam 7 extends between top skin member 5A and tape member 11 securing foam pad member and forming general central region 7B. As can be seen, seam 7 generally divides front support member 4C into two chambers, each chamber elastically securing a plurality of force members 8. Since top member 5A is elastic, a users foot and the force members can shift and compact during use under shear or compressive forces while still providing support to a user's foot after the particles pack together to resist the force applied. The present design enables each chamber to move relative to the other and to sole member 1, thereby accommodating different support needs and food positions (as well as different user foot shapes and foot uses (toe-only-walking vs. heel-toe-walking).
Alternative designs are envisioned encompassing the general principals of the present invention. In
Another alternative design is envisioned as depicted in
It should be understood and appreciated, that one benefit of the present invention is that it enables the ready repositioning of members 8 after every stride into a neutral position ready for the next compression/shear operative phase. This repositioning is induced via the elastic forces provided by skin members. It should be additionally noted, that particles 8 substantially fill the bounded cavities in support members allowing a ready shifting but supported by the elastic skin members. This ready repositioning prevents uncomfortable lumpy distribution of members 8, or the loss of members 8 into the corner portions of recesses 2 and the resultant loss of support. In one embodiment, bottom member 5B is an elastomeric member that enables the distribution of members 8 into corners of recess 2 during a downward force, but return to a neutral position between strides. In this manner, the present invention returns to a neutral support position between each stride and increases user comfort and support.
As alternatively disclosed in
It is additionally envisioned, that particles or members 8 may be selected from an elastomeric, pseudo-plastic, etc. material to provide an additional level of elastic support. It is similarly envisioned, that skin members may be filled with a combination of members 8 and an other element, for example a thixotropic fluid, lubricant, deflocculant, or may include some elastomeric and some non-elastomeric particles.
It is additionally envisioned, that a user may select a multi-modal size distribution for particles 8, to enable a readily adapted distribution and strength in packing. It is also envisioned, that the present invention uses of supporting members 4 may be adopted to any type of footwear including boots, sporting footwear etc. In another embodiment, an additional non-tacky lubricant (dry (graphite etc.) or liquid/fluid) is included with particles 8 enabling an initial sliding between particles while allowing the particles to pack together (in an organized or unorganized structure) under increasing compression.
It is also envisioned, that another embodiment of the present invention may include a shoe having a shock absorbing sole, a polyfoam foot bed with supporting members, a hardboard support, and a soft deer skin cover between the supporting members and a user's foot.
Referring now to
In this alternative embodiment, those of skill in the art will recognize, that front and rear support members 4,4, may have a different fill percentage than support member 20A, enabling support member 20A to provide arch support. In alternative embodiments, the front and rear support cushions may be of conventional construction, and central support member 20A may operate according to the disclosure above. In sum, it is proposed, that support devices may be adaptively shaped and configured to enable a very broad adaption and integration into to the wide variety of conventional shoe shapes.
In the claims, means- or step-plus-function clauses are intended to cover the structures described or suggested herein as performing the recited function and not only structural equivalents but also equivalent structures. Thus, for example, although a nail, a screw, and a bolt may not be structural equivalents in that a nail relies on friction between a wooden part and a cylindrical surface, a screw's helical surface positively engages the wooden part, and a bolt's head and nut compress opposite sides of a wooden part, in the environment of fastening wooden parts, a nail, a screw, and a bolt may be readily understood by those skilled in the art as equivalent structures.
Although only a single or few exemplary embodiments of this invention have been described in detail above, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many modifications are possible in the exemplary embodiment(s) without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of this invention. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the spirit and scope of this invention as defined in the claims.
