Abstract

Provided is an arch support insole to be inserted into a shoe. The insole should satisfy tasks for a wearer as follows: (1) improvement of wearing feeling by maximally reducing the thickness of the insole, (2) reduction of fatigue on walking by maximally preventing transmission of shocks, and (3) sufficient support of the arch of the wearer by maintaining an original shape of the arch support part. In addition, these tasks should be solved by a minimum number of manufacturing processes and minimum cost. The arch support insole includes an insole main body having a portion or the entire of an arch support part curvedly projecting upward to support the arch of a wearer's foot, and a heel support part coupled to a rear part of the insole main body, wherein the insole main body and the heel support part are formed of a single layer by dual injection, the insole main body is formed of a material having hardness higher than that of the heel support part, and a plurality of honeycomb-shaped projections are formed downward at a bottom surface of the curved arch support part.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An arch support insole to be inserted into a shoe comprising:
 an insole main body including an arch support part curvedly projecting upward to support an arch part of a wearer's foot; and   a heel support part coupled to a rear part of the insole main body,   wherein the insole main body and the heel support body are formed of a single layer through dual injection.   
     
     
         2 . The arch support insole according to  claim 1 , wherein the insole main body including the arch support part is formed of plastic with hardness higher than that of plastic forming the heel support part. 
     
     
         3 . The arch support insole according to  claim 2 , further comprising an anti-slip part coupled to a front part of the insole main body. 
     
     
         4 . The arch support insole according to  claim 3 , wherein the anti-slip part has the same hardness as the heel support part. 
     
     
         5 . An arch support insole to be inserted into a shoe comprising:
 an insole main body including at least a portion of an arch support part curvedly projecting upward to support the arch of a wearer's foot; and   a heel support part coupled to a rear part of the insole main body,   wherein the insole main body and the heel support part are formed of a single layer by dual injection, and   a plurality of honeycomb-shaped projections are formed downward at a bottom surface of the curved arch support part.   
     
     
         6 . The arch support insole according to  claim 5 , wherein the insole main body is formed of a material having hardness higher than that of the heel support part. 
     
     
         7 . The arch support insole according to  claim 5 , further comprising an anti-slip part coupled to a front part of the insole main body. 
     
     
         8 . The arch support insole according to  claim 7 , wherein the heel support part, the anti-slip part, and the honeycomb-shaped projections are integrally formed with each other to surround the insole main body by dual injection. 
     
     
         9 . The arch support insole according to  claim 8 , wherein the heel support part, the anti-slip part, and the honeycomb-shaped projections are formed of the same material. 
     
     
         10 . The arch support insole according to  claim 5 , wherein the honeycomb-shaped projections and the insole main body are formed of the same material. 
     
     
         11 . An arch support insole to be inserted into a shoe comprising:
 an insole main body including an arch support part curvedly projecting upward to support the arch of a wearer; and   a heel support part configured to support the heel of the wearer's foot,   wherein a plurality of honeycomb-shaped projections projecting downward from a position only corresponding to a bottom surface of the curved arch support part.   
     
     
         12 . The arch support insole according to  claim 11 , wherein the plurality of honeycomb-shaped projections have the size that is gradually reduced from the front part to the rear part of the insole main body. 
     
     
         13 . An arch support insole to be inserted into a shoe comprising:
 an arch support part curvedly projecting upward to support the arch of a wearer's foot; and   a peripheral part coupled to the arch support part as a single layer to surround the arch support part by dual injection,   wherein a plurality of honeycomb-shaped projections project downward from a position corresponding to a bottom surface of the curved arch support part.   
     
     
         14 . The arch support insole according to  claim 13 , wherein the arch support part is formed of a material having hardness higher than that of the peripheral part. 
     
     
         15 . The arch support insole according to  claim 13 , wherein the honeycomb-shaped projections and the arch support part are formed of the same material. 
     
     
         16 . The arch support insole according to  claim 13 , wherein the honeycomb-shaped projections and the peripheral part are formed of the same material. 
     
     
         17 . The arch support insole according to  claim 1 , wherein the dual injection is a two-color forming method.
