Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A shoe insert comprising:
 a cover layer;   a damping layer; and   an absorbent core configured to receive a liquid fragrance,   wherein the damping layer has a depression on its upper side configured to receive the absorbent core, wherein the cover layer is arranged above, and covers, the damping layer and the absorbent core, wherein the layers are connected to one another, and wherein a hole-shaped recess is formed in the cover layer in the region of the absorbent core for supplying the absorbent core with liquid fragrances.   
     
     
         2 . The shoe insert according to  claim 1 , wherein the absorbent core is formed from a textile fabric as a fragrance reservoir. 
     
     
         3 . The shoe insert of  claim 1 , wherein the absorbent core further comprises an upper layer made of a textile fabric and a viscose layer arranged underneath the upper layer. 
     
     
         4 . The shoe insert of  claim 1 , comprising a fabric cover, wherein the fabric cover is arranged as an additional layer below the damping layer and completely covers an underside of the damping layer. 
     
     
         5 . The shoe insert according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover layer further comprises a liquid-impermeable and simultaneously gas-permeable membrane. 
     
     
         6 . The shoe insert of  claim 1 , wherein a valve device is located in the hole-shaped recess. 
     
     
         7 . The shoe insert of  claim 1 , wherein the cover layer further comprises a microfiber cover. 
     
     
         8 . The shoe insert of  claim 1 , wherein the depression is formed by a circular punched-out portion on the upper side of the damping layer. 
     
     
         9 . The shoe insert of  claim 1 , wherein the damping layer is made substantially of ethylene vinyl acetate. 
     
     
         10 . The shoe insert of  claim 1 , wherein the layers are connected by a neoprene adhesive. 
     
     
         11 . The shoe insert of  claim 1 , wherein the edges of the damping layer taper off all around to be thinner than in the middle of the damping layer. 
     
     
         12 . The shoe insert of  claim 1 , wherein the layers, the absorbent core, and the adhesive bond are designed such that they are machine washable. 
     
     
         13 . The shoe insert of  claim 1 , wherein the dimensions of the absorbent core correspond substantially to the dimensions of the depression in the damping layer, and the absorbent core is embedded in the depression. 
     
     
         14 . The shoe insert of  claim 1 , wherein the height dimension of the absorbent core is designed to be smaller than the depth dimension of the depression, so that the upper surface of the absorbent core is recessed in relation to the upper surface of the damping layer. 
     
     
         15 . The shoe insert of  claim 1 , wherein the layers have substantially the shape and dimensions of a footbed of a left or right shoe and are designed as an insole. 
     
     
         16 . A system comprising:
