Description

Cushioned orthotic
The application is for being to have 21 in September, 2007 and denomination of invention dividing an application for the application number 200780042841.7 of " cushioned orthotic " to enjoy the applying date.
Technical field
Relate generally to foodcare product of the present invention, for example footwear liner and orthotic products are called " rectifier " hereinafter.
Background technology
Conventional footwear product liner for example rectifier typically offers the user to satisfy the particular user demand.These demands of some of them can comprise buffering, arch support and inward turning control.
Many known rectifiers tend to be customization.Custom-made orthotics is often relatively costly, and possibly need to measure and try on to the route that special supplier (for example podiatrist) locates.Custom-made orthotics also possibly have relatively short service life.In some cases, make special rectifier more durable or provide bigger support also can make them heavier, bigger or comfortableness is poorer.
Pre-manufactured orthotic and shoe pad also are known.These rectifiers and liner are usually than custom made footwear series products liner considerably cheaper.Pre-manufactured orthotic and liner comprise United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 286,232,6,301,805,6,481,120 and 6,598, and No. 321.Provide some pre-manufactured orthotic of excellent support possibly have poor shock-absorbing capacity.Other liner with good shock-absorbing capacity possibly provide less support.Wherein some known rectifier can have good buffering and support feature, but makes relatively costly.In addition, this pre-manufactured orthotic typically only provides with the variation of limited quantity, for example is used for man's single size and the single size that is used for the woman, so that deposit and manufacturing cost minimize.Yet potential purchase crowd possibly have the extensive preference to comfort level and support.
Although it is well-known to have the buffering shoe pad and the rectifier of following, the present inventor has recognized the need to provide pre-manufactured orthotic, and this rectifier provides good buffering when enough arch support is provided, especially in heel area.Simultaneously, because the inventor pays close attention to the product of batch process, thereby need reduce the quantity of parts simultaneously and use identical parts to produce the rectifier of different size and type.Therefore; The rectifier of the element that separates that was used for heel buffering with former possibly having is different; The present inventor has developed a kind of corrective shoes liner, wherein through a part that outstanding heel pad is integrally molded as the whole cushion of rectifier the heel buffering is provided.This just can provide the buffering of improvement when reducing total manufacturing cost.
In the shoe pad before some, crust layer has obtained under arch area or under the whole shoe pad using.The present inventor has had recognized the need to produce a kind of shoe pad crust layer, and this crust layer minimum level ground when heel area provides lateral stability disturbs the heel buffering, and this is an important comfortableness attribute of shoe pad.Therefore, the present inventor has developed a kind of shoe pad, and a pair of protuberance of a part of crust layer that wherein can form shoe pad is around outstanding heel pad.
Another problem of the pre-manufactured shoe inserts of general marketplace is that the use for the client of different size provides a series of suitable products.Provide the cost of many sizes (like common way) possibly highly get surprising for footwear.Thereby, it is desirable to allow shoe pad to use by the user of at least one serial different size with different size footwear.Duricrust protuberance described in leading portion has improved the ability that rectifier is used for different footwear size through limited compressibility is provided in heel area.Thereby specific shoe pad can use in wide heel and footwear narrow heel, thereby reduces the quantity that is fit to the required model of most of potential key customer fully.
The shoe pad of previous general marketplace and rectifier only provide with limited size and type usually.Simultaneously, for production customizing model, generation is difficult to use and the pre-manufactured product of infeasible quantity economically for mass marketing to each possible user's request group (for example footwear size, support and buffering).Present inventor's a purpose is for large-scale potential user a kind of comfortable pre-manufactured orthotic to be provided, and makes cost simultaneously and must provide the quantity with the pre-manufactured product that satisfies wide range of users to minimize.Typically, in the past, be at most the general marketplace shoe pad a kind of big and little model (and/or the man with the model woman) are provided.Based on empirical analysis, the present inventor has found that one group of rectifier with moderate size can be most of crowd suitable selection is provided.The inventor has been found that especially one cover rectifier (for example 14) of moderate size can satisfy most potential user through varying sized, buffering and supporting degree.In addition, can reduce the number of the required different parts of the rectifier of producing this scope significantly through shared components between different models.
Some rectifiers of the prior art provide the rectifier adjusted with different size liner, so that change the characteristic of rectifier.Yet the problem that liner brought of different size is that especially for injecting products, the parts of each different size need extra costliness processing.In order to help further to reduce manufacturing cost and for having the different series of user of liking suitable selection is provided simultaneously, the present inventor has developed the identical molded arch support of being processed by different materials.These parts can further increase the scope of enabled production, satisfy the more client of broad range, and required manufacturing cost amount is minimized.In orthopedic appliance disclosed herein, the arch support element that is used to have the different models of equal length can have consistent substantially size.Arch support for the varying level that different model provided of the rectifier with equal length can provide through using different arch support materials.

Figure 16 illustrates the exemplary presentation group of pre-manufactured orthotic according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.Presentation group is described with bulk form in Figure 16 A.What will understand that is, the exemplary presentation group (seeing Figure 16 B) of rectifier of the left and right same model of coupling also can completely be provided in couples.Exemplary presentation group can comprise a plurality of different rectifiers, and 14 different example model orthotics for example, its characteristic obtain describing in Table I-III.Each rectifier in the exemplary presentation group can have similar substantially but similar design not necessarily, although the definite size of the different models of the rectifier in the presentation group and material properties can change.For example, each rectifier of presentation group can comprise molded cushion 501 and support outer shell 301 (as Fig. 1 to Fig. 8 in the preceding text is illustrated), perhaps one of them alternate exemplary embodiment.All model class in the group are similar to the embodiment among Fig. 1 to Fig. 8, or can use or make up other embodiment of use separately.
The group of prefabricated cushioned orthotic can be the rectifier of " 3/4 length ".This organizes the presentation group that prefabricated cushioned orthotic can be a plurality of rectifiers or rectifier, and this rectifier can change on the quantity of length, width, buffering and the arch support that is provided.(seeing Figure 16 A).The presentation group of rectifier can comprise the orthotics models with the different length separately that relies on user's foot length degree.For example, the presentation group of rectifier can have at least four kinds of different length: first length of shortest length, second length longer than shortest length, with respect to long the 3rd length of second length and the 4th length of extreme length.
Exemplary presentation group with rectifier of different length can manufacture has different arch height, and variable hardness, rigidity and size.For example, not having the user who limits arch of foot or have low arch of foot possibly need more the support, and possibly like bigger hardness.On the other hand, the user who has high arches or more arch of foots that limit prefers more buffering rather than hardness more.Uncomfortable to the user even the possibility of high arches by harder or firmer outer shell and the caused bigger supporting degree of hypostracum, because their arch of foot is limited, harder shell can protrude into arch of foot, and this just makes the vola responsive to hard sensation.In some exemplary embodiment, arch support can have the arch support with different hardness of at least two varying levels.
Exemplary presentation group with rectifier of different length can be made up of with the arch support with different arch height cushion.Cushion can be by the foam of at least two kinds of different hardness, soft cushion and harder cushion manufacturing.Except that the orthotics models that can not be made by the softest foam with extreme length, the orthotics models of all different lengths in the example orthotic presentation group can be by harder foam manufacturing.
Exemplary presentation group with rectifier of equal length can have at least two orthotics models, and these at least two orthotics models have the arch support and/or the material of different size.In another exemplary embodiment, the arch support of different materials of orthotics models of length-specific that is used for the exemplary presentation group of rectifier can have consistent substantially size.
The exemplary group of some pre-manufactured orthotic of some exemplary embodiment according to the present invention possibly be the different models of the arch support of cushion with different length, different hardness and varying level.For example, at least one in the orthotics models can be made up of 14 different models with at least four kinds of different lengths.First model series that comprises the arch support with the softest cushion and floor level (is seen Figure 16 A; 100 series); Second model series (200 series) with arch support of the softest cushion and higher level; Have than the 3rd model series (300 series) of the arch support of rigid breaker and floor level and have four-model serial (400 series) than the arch support of rigid breaker and higher level.
Among another embodiment of the exemplary group of the prefabricated cushioned orthotic in the exemplary presentation group of rectifier, first model can have the shortest length, and has the softest cushion and the arch support of floor level.In second model, have shortest length and the rectifier of the soft cushion arch support that can have higher level.Alternatively, the 3rd model orthotic with shortest length can have harder cushion, and has the arch support of floor level; Four-model rectifier with shortest length can have the harder cushion and the arch support of higher level.
Among another embodiment of the exemplary group of the prefabricated cushioned orthotic in the exemplary presentation group of rectifier, can have second length longer than shortest length.For example, the 5th model can have second length longer than shortest length, and has the arch support of the softest buffering and floor level.Have second length and the 6th model of the soft cushion arch support that can have higher level.Alternatively, the 7th model with second length can have the harder cushion and the arch support of floor level, and the 8th model with second length can have the harder cushion and the arch support of higher level.
The example set of the prefabricated cushioned orthotic in the exemplary presentation group of rectifier also can have the 3rd length, and the 3rd length is long with respect to second length.Example cushioned orthotic can be by the softest or process than rigid foam and lower or higher arch support.For example, the 9th model with the 3rd length of being longer than the second length rectifier can have the arch support and the softest cushion of floor level.The tenth model with the 3rd length can have the softest cushion and the arch support of higher level; And the 11 model can have the arch support of floor level and harder cushion, and the 12 model can have the harder cushion and the arch support of higher level.
The exemplary group of the prefabricated cushioned orthotic in the example display group of rectifier also can have the 4th length of extreme length in the group.For example, having the 13 model of extreme length can be by the arch support manufacturing of harder cushion and floor level.In addition, the tenth four-model that has an extreme length can be combined by the arch support than rigid breaker and higher level.
