Abstract

The present invention is to provide a footbed having functions of acupuncture point massage and reducing pressure, which is positioned at a location corresponding to shoe sole inside a shoe and includes a cushion and a plurality of massage components. The cushion is one-piece formed by latex material and has a top surface matching with a foot sole of human body and provided with a plurality of deformed holes thereon. The massage components are protrudingly disposed at a bottom of the cushion and each has a deformed space therein, a top of the deformed space is communicated with the deformed hole corresponding thereto, each of the massage components is provided with a protruded part disposed at an inner wall thereof corresponding to a bottom of the deformed space, and the protruded part has a tip extended toward the deformed hole and not exposed out of the deformed hole.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A footbed having functions of acupuncture point massage and pressure reduction, positioned correspondingly to a shoe sole inside a shoe, the footbed comprising:
 a cushion, one-piece formed by latex material, having a top surface matching with a foot sole of human body, and the top surface provided with a plurality of deformed holes thereon; and   a plurality of massage components, protrudingly disposed at a bottom of the cushion, formed integrally and corresponding to the deformed holes respectively, each of the massage components having a deformed space therein, a top of the deformed space communicated with the deformed hole corresponding thereto, each of the massage components provided with a protruded part disposed therein at an inner wall thereof corresponding to a bottom of the deformed space, and the protruded part having a tip extended toward the deformed hole and not exposed out of the deformed hole;   wherein after a user wears the shoe, the user's foot sole contacts with the top surface, and a certain area of the top surface is applied a force by the foot sole during walk or sport, whereby each of the massage components corresponding to the certain area is deformed to shorten downwardly, to enable the tip of the protruded part being exposed out of the deformed hole correspondingly and protruded on the top surface.   
     
     
         2 . The footbed as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the structure of the massage component is in a cone shape, a diameter of the top of the massage component is larger than a diameter of the bottom of the massage component. 
     
     
         3 . The footbed as defined in  claim 2 , wherein an aperture of the deformed hole is larger than a diameter of the protruded part. 
     
     
         4 . The footbed as defined in  claim 3 , wherein the top surface is further provided with a plurality of ventilation holes thereon, the ventilation holes are passed through the cushion, and the deformed holes and the ventilation holes are in interlaced arrangement. 
     
     
         5 . The footbed according to  claim 4 , wherein structures of the plurality of massage components are cones with different heights, and the heights of the massage components located at a center portion of the cushion and near the inner side of the cushion are larger than the heights of the other massage components. 
     
     
         6 . The footbed as defined in  claim 5 , further comprising a vapor-permeable layer made of vapor-permeable material, the vapor-permeable layer disposed on the top surface, having a structure matching with the top surface, and larger than the top surface. 
     
     
         7 . The footbed as defined in  claim 6 , wherein the cushion is provided with a support component protrudingly disposed at a bottom portion thereof corresponding to a heel of the user. 
     
     
         8 . The footbed as defined in  claim 7 , wherein the cushion is provided with a plurality of trim lines at the bottom potion thereof.
