Description

Orthopedic arch support

This creation is about insoles or arch pads, especially orthotic arch pads.

In order to increase the comfort of wearing shoes or walking, using insoles or arch pads is a good choice. However, due to the differences in bones, foot shapes and walking postures of each person, the requirements for arch pads will also vary. Most of the arch pads currently on the market are fixed-shaped industrial mass-produced products, which cannot be adjusted according to the different foot characteristics of each person. Of course, there are also customized products that can be tailored to individual needs, but this type of product is made according to the current measurement, but the characteristics of a person's feet will change with habits or age. For example, people with flat feet can improve their flat feet and form arches after using arch pads, but customized products cannot be adjusted flexibly as the human body changes.

The main purpose of this creation is to provide an orthotic arch support that can be easily customized and adjusted at any time.

To achieve the above main purpose, the corrective arch pad of the invention includes: a pad body, which is long and has a heel and an arch, and its shape corresponds to the position of the heel bone of the human foot extending to the midfoot bone (metatarsal bone). The back of the pad body is provided with a pad setting area, and the pad setting area includes a plurality of pad setting holes, and the pad setting holes are arranged from the heel to the arch. The plurality of pads, corresponding to the pad setting holes arranged on the back of the pad body, are pads made of rubber or plastic foam.

With the above structure, the corrective arch pad of this invention can be quickly and correctly adjusted according to each stage of the user or different foot changes, achieving the purpose of true customization.

The applicant first explains that throughout the entire specification, including the embodiments described below and the claims of the patent application, the terms related to direction are based on the directions in the drawings for auxiliary explanation and are not limited to this. Secondly, in the embodiments and drawings to be introduced below, the same component numbers represent the same or similar components or their structural features.

Please refer to all the illustrations. The corrective arch pad of this invention includes: A pad 10, which is long and corresponds to the shape of the sole of the human foot. To be more precise, the pad corresponds to the position of the calcaneus of the foot extending to the midfoot bone (metatarsal bone) in medicine. The pad has a heel 11 and an arch 12. The heel 11 corresponds to the position of the calcaneus of the foot, and the arch 12 has an upwardly protruding arc 13 on its inner side to correspond to the inner longitudinal arch of the user's foot.

The back of the pad body 10 is provided with a pad setting area 20, and the pad setting area 20 includes a plurality of pad setting holes 21, which are arranged from the heel 11 toward the arch 12. In this embodiment, six pad holes are divided into two rows in groups of three, and the central axis of the long axis of the pad body 10 is used as a boundary to divide it into two sides, with one row on each side, as shown in Figure 2, but it is not limited to this.

A plurality of pads 30 are arranged correspondingly in the pad setting holes 21 of the pad setting area 20 on the back of the pad body. The pads 30 are pads made of rubber or plastic foam, and are attached to the pad setting holes 21 using glue or double-sided tape. The shapes can be circular, cylindrical, oblong, triangular or square, etc., and the shapes are not particularly limited. As shown in Figures 2 and 5 to 7, due to the different foot shapes and walking posture requirements of each person, the pads 30 can be selected to use different thicknesses and different softness and hardness when they are set, and then correspondingly attached and set in different corresponding positions, so that the corrective arch pad can truly achieve fine-tuning of the details of the sole, and achieve the customized requirements that fully meet the user's foot shape.

For example, if you just want to step on it smoothly, you can choose a softer and thinner pad, and the thickness of the pads can be the same or different.

If the user's foot is everted when stepping or walking, a thicker pad can be installed in the pad installation area close to the lateral longitudinal arch, and a thinner and softer pad can be installed in the pad installation area close to the medial longitudinal arch, as shown in Figure 7. In this way, the corrective arch pad can be tilted in the direction of the medial longitudinal arch to achieve the correction function.

There is no special limit on the number of holes in the pad in this case. It can be six as shown in Figure 2, four as shown in Figure 8, or eight as shown in Figure 9. This part can be adjusted completely according to the user's foot shape and foot size requirements, truly meeting the different customized needs of men, women, old and young.

In order to increase the comfort of the corrective arch pad when in use, a layer of cloth 40 can be attached to the front of the pad 10 to increase the comfort when stepping on it, as shown in FIG3.
