As mentioned above, it is important to stimulate the spring on the sole, especially in the insole that stimulates the acupuncture points of the sole and the reflection zone. For this reason, the ridge or permanent magnet is located at a position corresponding to the spring. Was to be provided. A spring is an acupuncture point on the left and right soles that can stimulate the blood circulation and metabolism to restore muscle fatigue and improve coldness and pain. It is.
This spring is located at a position slightly closer to the fingertip side from the center of the sole, as indicated by an asterisk “★” in FIG. 6, and the arch along the inside of the leg and the base of the fifth finger. It is located in a slightly depressed area on the line connecting the center of the.

  However, although the approximate position of the spring is determined as the relative position of the sole, it is strictly different for each person.For example, even if a person wears the same size shoe, The shape of the spring is also different, and the relative position of the spring on the sole is also different. Therefore, depending on the person, the position of the raised part and the permanent magnet provided on the insole is deviated from the position of the spring, not only the stimulation by the raised part is weakened, but also the magnetic flux density across the spring is reduced, In some cases, the springs were not sufficiently stimulated, resulting in ineffective effects.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a bottom member for footwear that similarly gives a stimulus to a spring even if the position of the spring is shifted by a person so that the same effect can be obtained by anyone. It is.

  1st invention is the bottom member for footwear provided with the some bulge part on the flat plate-shaped main body surface of the shape corresponding to the outline of footwear, Comprising: The location corresponding to the spring vicinity of a person's sole at least A pair of raised portions formed at predetermined intervals, and a permanent magnet with one magnetic pole facing the raised portion surface is embedded in each of the pair of raised portions, and the raised portion surface side of these permanent magnets This is characterized in that the polarities of the magnetic poles are reversed.

2nd invention presupposes the said 1st invention, The said permanent magnet has the characteristics in the point provided with the copper or copper alloy on the surface.
3rd invention presupposes 1st or 2nd invention, the 1st protruding part provided in the position corresponding to a ridge, the 2nd, 3rd protruding part provided in the position corresponding to an arch, A fourth raised portion provided at a position corresponding to the thumb of the foot or the base of the thumb, and a fifth raised portion provided between the arch and the first raised portion and closer to the inside of the leg. It has the characteristics in the point.

  The sole member for footwear of the present invention is a member that directly or indirectly contacts the sole of the person wearing the footwear, and is an insole that is inserted into the footwear and laid on the bottom of the footwear. In addition, it is a bottom member constituting the inner side surface of the footwear.

According to the first invention, the pair of permanent magnets provided at positions corresponding to the springs can make a wide range where the magnetic flux density is a certain level or more. In other words, it is possible to widen the range in which a certain level or more of stimulation by the magnetic force can be applied. Therefore, even if the position of the spring is slightly deviated depending on the person, any person's spring can be similarly stimulated by magnetic force.
According to such a footwear bottom member, the spring can be surely stimulated by both the pair of raised portions and the magnetic force to increase blood circulation and metabolism.

  In the second aspect of the invention, the surface of the permanent magnet has a sterilizing effect by copper, so that blood circulation is improved by stimulation by a raised portion and magnetic force, and even if there is sweat on the sole, proliferation of germs is increased. Can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of skin diseases and malodors.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, stimulation by the raised portion can be given to the foot pots other than the spring, and blood circulation and metabolism can be further improved.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a main body 1 constituting an insole for a right foot. The insole has a shape that matches the contour of the shoe, but is formed by sandwiching the front and back surfaces of the main body 1 with cover members 4 and 5. However, in FIG. 1, only the main body 1 excluding the cover members 4 and 5 is shown. A plurality of raised portions 2 a to 2 e are provided on the surface of the main body 1. And if the said main body 1 is divided into the heel reflection zone A shown by the dotted line in the figure, the arch reflection zone B, and the thumb reflection zone C, the first raised portion 2a is located within the range of the heel reflection zone A, In the arch, the second raised portion 2b and the third raised portion 2c are located in the reflection zone B. The fourth raised portion 2d is located within the range of the thumb reflection zone C, between the thumb reflection zone C and the arch reflection zone B, and between the raised portion 2c and the raised portion 2a. A fifth raised portion 2e is provided on the inner side of the leg, which is the left side of FIG.

The heel reflex zone A here refers to the area where the heel of the foot comes into contact when the body 1 is laid in shoes and the foot is put in, and is related to the lower abdomen such as the small intestine, the large intestine, and the pelvis. Acupoints to be included.
Similarly, the arch reflection zone B is a zone where the foot arch is located, and the thumb reflection zone C is a zone where the thumb of the foot or its base is located. The arch reflection zone B includes acupoints related to organs such as the lung, heart, stomach, and kidney, and the thumb reflection zone C is a zone related to the head.
Therefore, when the sole is stimulated by the raised portions 2a to 2e, the blood circulation and metabolism of the corresponding organ can be increased.

And the spring of a person is located between the raised part 2b provided in the above-mentioned arch and reflection zone B, and the raised part 2c, and these raised parts 2b and 2c are in the location corresponding to the spring vicinity. It is a pair of raised parts provided.
1 and 6, the approximate position of the spring is indicated by an asterisk “★”.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 6, the position of the spring is roughly determined, but there are individual differences. Therefore, the ridges 2b and 2c are different from each other between the ridges. So as to be positioned at a predetermined distance.

  Moreover, each said protruding part 2a-2e is a site | part where the upper surface of the main body 1 protruded, and in order to give elasticity to each protruding part 2a-2e in this embodiment, the main body 1 is formed with foamed rubber. Each of the raised portions 2a to 2e is raised from the surface of the main body 1 by about 4 mm and has a diameter of about 25 mm to 45 mm. However, the height and diameter are not particularly limited and can be arbitrarily determined. it can. Further, the raised portions 2a, 2c, 2d, and 2e have a circular bottom surface, and only the raised portion 2b has an oval shape. However, the shapes of the raised portions 2a to 2e are not particularly limited. .

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, a cylindrical recess 3 is formed in the second ridge 2b, the third ridge 2c, and the fourth ridge 2d, The permanent magnets M1, M2, and M3 are embedded. Each of the permanent magnets M1 to M3 is a columnar shape shown in FIG. 3 and is a permanent magnet provided with magnetic poles on both bottom sides. One magnetic pole of the permanent magnet is embedded in the concave portion 3 toward the surface side of the raised portion, and is fixed to the main body 1 with an adhesive.

The permanent magnet M1 embedded in the second raised portion 2b and the permanent magnet M2 embedded in the third raised portion 2c have their magnetic poles reversed for the reason described later. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the permanent magnet M1 provided on the second raised portion 2b has the surface side as the N pole, and the permanent magnet M2 provided on the third raised portion 2c has the surface side as the S pole. And since the permanent magnet M3 provided in the 4th protruding part 2d has a large distance from the other permanent magnets M1 and M2, it is hardly affected by them, so either the S pole or the N pole is arranged on the surface side. It doesn't matter.
The permanent magnets M1 to M3 have a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 15 mm and a height of 1 mm, but the shape and dimensions are not limited thereto. However, a surface shape or size that is not so uncomfortable when stepped on the soles is preferable. In this embodiment, the surfaces of the permanent magnets M1 to M3 are covered with a copper alloy.

Thus, a pair of cover members 4 and 5 are fixed to the front and back surfaces of the main body 1 in which the permanent magnets M1 to M3 are embedded in the concave portion 3 as described above. The pair of cover members 4 and 5 are made of artificial leather, synthetic leather, leather, synthetic fiber or the like having sweat-absorbing property or moisture-absorbing property. When these cover members 4 and 5 cover the main body 1 so as to sandwich the main body 1, the raised portions 2 a to 2 e are raised on the surface of the main body 1. It is raised like 2a to 2e. A circular hole 6 is formed in a portion of the cover member 4 corresponding to the second to fourth raised portions 2b to 2d in which the permanent magnets are embedded so as to cover the surfaces of the permanent magnets M1 to M3. It is exposed. However, the diameter of the hole 6 is made smaller than the diameter of the permanent magnets M1 to M3, and the permanent magnets M1 to M3 are pressed by the cover member 4 so that the permanent magnets M1 to M3 are not detached from the main body 1.
Furthermore, a large number of air holes 7 are made to penetrate almost the entire surface of the main body 1 other than the raised portions 2a to 2e. The vent hole 7 is formed with a diameter of 1 mm to 3 mm.

In the insole as described above, a magnetic field is created by the permanent magnet M1 embedded in the second raised portion 2b and the permanent magnet M2 embedded in the third raised portion 2c, but arranged with opposite polarities. In the magnetic field by the pair of permanent magnets M1 and M2, a wide area having a high magnetic flux density of a certain value or more is formed between the permanent magnets.
This will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the arrangement of the insole permanent magnets M1 and M2 in this embodiment. FIG. 5 is different from the above embodiment in that the magnetic poles of the permanent magnets M1 and M2 are in the same direction. FIG. And the result of having measured the magnetic flux density about each case is shown in figure.
Each of the permanent magnets M1 and M2 has the same performance, and the distance between the permanent magnets (permanent magnets M1 and M2) is the same when the magnetic pole arrangement of the pair of permanent magnets is reversed and when they are the same. The closest distance between the outer peripheries is 20 mm. 4 and 5 show the magnetic flux density at a height of 15 mm from the surface of the permanent magnet.

As a result, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the magnetic flux density was 60 G in any case near the center of the permanent magnet. However, in the middle of the permanent magnets M1 and M2, it is 40G when the directions of the magnetic poles of the two permanent magnets are reversed (see FIG. 4) as in the above embodiment, but 20G in the combination of the same poles. (See FIG. 5).
In this way, in the insole of this embodiment, in order to widen the area with high magnetic flux density between the permanent magnets of the pair of permanent magnets M1 and M2 provided at positions corresponding to the vicinity of the spring, The direction of the magnetic pole of the magnet is reversed.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, when a permanent magnet is provided with the direction of the magnetic poles reversed, a person's spring using the insole is located immediately above the permanent magnet M1 or M2. Is subjected to a large magnetic stimulus as in the case of the same polarity, and even if the spring is slightly deviated from directly above the permanent magnet, if it is between the two permanent magnets M1 and M2, compared to the case of FIG. You will receive a magnetic stimulation with twice the magnetic force. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when two permanent magnets M1 and M2 having the same magnetic pole direction are used, a large magnetic stimulation occurs when the spring is located directly above the permanent magnet. However, if it deviates from the permanent magnet, it can be predicted that the stimulation will suddenly decrease and the effect will fade.
Therefore, in the insole of this embodiment arranged as shown in FIG. 4, even if the position of the spring is slightly deviated, any person's spring can be similarly stimulated by magnetic force. Can do.

When walking with such an insole in shoes, the raised portions 2a to 2e press the reflection zones linked to the body organs and brain, and the spring can be reliably stimulated by magnetism. Thus, if walking is continued for a while while stimulating the reflection zone including springs and other acupoints, blood circulation and metabolism improve, leading to health promotion.
If the blood circulation improves, the sole may sweat. However, according to the insole, the insole has air permeability due to the vent hole 7, so that it is difficult for the foot to get muddy or the insole to be damaged. In particular, when the main body 1 is formed of an elastic material as in this embodiment, the main body 1 is deformed during walking and the vent hole 7 expands and contracts, so that the ventilation in the shoe is better. However, the material of the main body 1 is not limited to this embodiment. Any material can be used as long as it is used for a normal insole or an insole of footwear.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the surface of permanent magnet M1-M3 is formed with a copper alloy, in this way, by forming the surface of permanent magnet M1-M3 with a copper alloy, or making it into copper, Bactericidal effect by copper is obtained. As a result, it is possible to suppress the propagation of germs in the soles and footwear and to prevent the occurrence of skin diseases and malodors.
In the above embodiment, the cover members 4 and 5 are provided on the front surface and the back surface of the main body 1. However, the cover members 4 and 5 are not necessarily provided, and only one of them may be provided.
Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, an example of an insole that is inserted into a shoe has been described. However, the configuration of the insole may be used as a bottom member such as slippers, sandals, or shoes.

It is a top view of the insole in embodiment of invention. It is the II-II sectional view taken on the line of FIG. It is a perspective view of the permanent magnet used by embodiment. It is the figure which showed the measurement result of the magnetic flux density of the permanent magnet in embodiment. It is the figure which showed the measurement result of the magnetic flux density at the time of arrange | positioning the permanent magnet which made the direction of the magnetic pole the same. It is the figure of the sole which showed the position of the spring.
