Abstract:
Footwear for moisturizing a user's feet comprising a multilayered sole and an upper portion coupled to the sole. The sole includes a top layer, an intermediate layer, a bottom layer and two refillable pouches containing a moisturizing lotion situated between the intermediate and bottom layers at the heel and ball of the foot location. The top and intermediate layers and top surfaces of the pouches include a plurality of apertures, which are in alignment and allow the moisturizing lotion to pass through for contacting the feet of user. The individual soles of the present invention comprise a top layer, a bottom layer, an adhesive layer for sticking the soles to regular footwear and two refillable pouches situated between the top and bottom layers. The top layer and the top surfaces of the pouches include a plurality of apertures for the moisturizing lotion to pass through.
Abstract:
A clothing material or clothing article includes multiple first reservoirs and multiple second reservoirs joined with a substrate. Selected ones of the multiple first reservoirs include a reducing agent, and first reservoir surfaces of selected ones of the multiple first reservoirs are proximate to a first substrate surface. Selected ones of the multiple second reservoirs include an oxidizing agent, and second reservoir surfaces of selected ones of the multiple second reservoirs are proximate to the first substrate surface.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a shoe including an upper for receiving a foot and a sole unit with a heel region and forefoot region, wherein an additional weight is arranged in at least one of the forefoot region and the heel region of the sole unit to stabilize the foot against at least one torque acting on a wearer's foot.
Abstract:
A medical protection sheeting in the form of a slip sheet or as a covering for a dressing (30), formed from a low frictional material having a coefficient of static friction substantially the same as its coefficient of dynamic friction.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fiber complex where conductive composite fibers having a conductive thermoplastic component and a fiber forming component are mixed, characterized in that the conductive composite fiber is composed of a thermoplastic polymer containing carbon black and has a specific resistance of 106 null cm or less, and the conductive thermoplastic component covers 50% or more of the fiber surface and has a structure continuous in the long axis direction of fiber, and working wears, filters and shoe insoles using the fiber complex. nullThe present invention provides fiber products which give good conductivity in a surface resistance measuring method and are excellent in antistaticity and its durability.
Abstract:
A shear force modulation system comprising an upper pad to which an upper slide is attached, and a lower pad to which a lower slide is attached, the top surface of the upper pad being adapted for contact with the skin surface and the bottom surface of the lower pad being adapted for contact with a skin abrasive surface. The upper slide is in slidable contact with the lower slide, and the upper and lower pads may be attached by coating, adhesives, and elastic, viscoelastic, or non-elastic connectors. The system may be adapted for use as an insole, bed pad, or other device which is used to modulate shear forces applied to a skin surface and thus reduce abrasion and ulceration. Time varying response to shear may also be provided by retaining a viscoelastic fluid between the upper and lower pads, or slides. Variable compliance to modulate shear forces may be provided by the application of connectors in various configurations.
Abstract:
A sole for footwear comprises an outer sole (12; 22; 31) housing a plurality of pressure-stimulation elements (15; 24; 33) movable perpendicularly, relative to the bearing surface of the outer sole, through the thickness of the outer sole and, in the absence of stresses, extending below the bearing surface of the outer sole by a predetermined distance in order, when the sole is pressed against a bearing surface, to exert, through a resilient intermediate element (17; 27; 35) comprising a soft inner sole of the footwear, a pressure localized at predetermined nerve centers in the sole of a foot on which the therapeutic footwear is worn.
Abstract:
A custom-made orthotic support unit including specific orthotic magnet elements formed into a unitary arch support for insertion, into and/or onto contemporary footwear for providing both postural corrections and magnetic therapy for the wearer.
Abstract:
Shoe which has a band-like device which extends from the upper shaft end to the shoe base on one inner side of the shoe and extends from the shoe base in the direction of the upper shaft end on the opposite inner side of the shoe, wherein the band-like device is designed to exert pressure on a foot arranged in the shoe.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to the formation of the curvature of an orthotic arch support inclined shoe, such as a sneaker or a high-heeled shoe, using a shoe last. A shoe last includes a heel height and a sole having an arch. The arch is defined by an inner arch, a middle arch, and a lateral arch. The middle arch is defined by a first formula and lateral and inner arches are defined by a second formula. In particular, the shoes and shoe lasts of the present disclosure preserve the healthy, stable positioning of individuals with normal arches, and convert the pronation, or supination positioning of individuals with flat feet or high arches to a stable position afforded by normal arches. This allows a comfortable gait in a natural anatomical position and balances the weight center of the body.
