Footwear Insole

Abstract

A layered construction for a footwear insole connect an intermediate layer between a bottom layer and a top layer. A sealed passage for airflow is created between a plurality of three-dimensional pockets (connected on the top layer), a plurality of apertures (traversing through the intermediate layer), and a reservoir (positioned interior to the bottom layer). The three-dimensional pockets are deformable beneath the weight of a person's foot, which causes air to flow through conduits of the top layer, the apertures of the intermediate layer, and into the reservoir. When a person lifts their foot the three-dimensional pockets return to their normal shape, with air circulating back into the three-dimensional pockets from the reservoirs. The bottom layer can also be contoured to provide better support for a person's foot, matching a concave portion with the foot's longitudinal arches and a pair of wings with the transverse arch.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A footwear insole comprises:
 a top layer;   a bottom layer;   an intermediate layer;   a plurality of three-dimensional pockets;   a plurality of apertures;   the bottom layer comprises a reservoir;   the intermediate layer being connected between the bottom layer and the top layer;   the plurality of three-dimensional pockets being adjacently connected to the top layer opposite the intermediate layer;   the reservoir traversing into the bottom layer;   the reservoir being positioned adjacent to the intermediate layer; and   the plurality of three-dimensional pockets being connected with the reservoir through the plurality of apertures, wherein air can move between the plurality of three-dimensional pockets and the reservoir.   
     
     
         2 . The footwear insole as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 a plurality of conduits; 
 a selected conduit from the plurality of conduits traversing into a corresponding three-dimensional pocket from the plurality of three-dimensional pockets; 
 the selected conduit traversing into the corresponding three-dimensional pocket through the top layer; 
 each of the plurality of apertures being aligned with the corresponding three-dimensional pocket from the plurality of three-dimensional pockets; and 
 the plurality of three-dimensional pockets being connected with the plurality of apertures through the plurality of conduits, wherein air can move between the plurality of three-dimensional pockets and the plurality of apertures. 
 
     
     
         3 . The footwear insole as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 a channel; 
 the reservoir comprises a first section and a second section; 
 the first section being positioned adjacent to the second section; and 
 the second section being connected with the first section through the channel, wherein air can move between the first section and the second section. 
 
     
     
         4 . The footwear insole as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the bottom layer comprises an elevated concave portion; and 
 the elevated concave portion being centrally positioned on the bottom layer. 
 
     
     
         5 . The footwear insole as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the elevated concave portion is contoured to match a foot's longitudinal arches. 
     
     
         6 . The footwear insole as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 each of the plurality of three-dimensional pockets being deformable. 
 
     
     
         7 . The footwear insole as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the top layer and the intermediate layer being congruent with the bottom layer. 
 
     
     
         8 . The footwear insole as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 a first wing; 
 a second wing; 
 the first wing and the second wing being adjacently connected to the bottom layer; and 
 the first wing being positioned opposite the second wing across the bottom layer. 
 
     
     
         9 . The footwear insole as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the first wing and the second wing are contoured to match a foot's transverse arch.
