Abstract

The present invention is to provide an electrotherapeutic sole and a method for making the same, wherein the electrotherapeutic sole is composed of nitrile-butadiene rubber (38%˜42% by weight), conductive carbon black (37%˜42% by weight), a softening oil (14%˜17% by weight), a processing aid (3%˜5% by weight), and an accelerant (1%˜2% by weight) and has a top portion protrudingly provided with a plurality of electrode protuberances that correspond in positions to the acupoints in a human sole; the electrotherapeutic sole is also provided with a socket, thereby an electrotherapeutic pulse output terminal inserted into the socket can send the electrotherapeutic pulses generated by an electrotherapeutic pulse generator sequentially through the socket and the conductive carbon black in the electrotherapeutic sole to the tips of the electrode protuberances to massage the corresponding acupoints in the human sole.

Claims (11)

1. An electrotherapeutic sole, comprising:

a main body formed as a thin plate and composed at least of nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), conductive carbon black, a softening oil, a processing aid, and an accelerant, wherein the NBR makes up 38%˜42% by weight of the main body; the conductive carbon black, 37%˜42%; the softening oil, 14%˜17%; the processing aid, 3%˜5%; and the accelerant, 1%˜2%;

a plurality of electrode protuberances integrally formed with the main body, distributed over a top portion of the main body, and corresponding in position to acupoints in a human sole so that when the human sole stamps on the top portion of the main body, tips of the electrode protuberances are pressed against corresponding said acupoints in the human sole; and

a socket having an end electrically connected to the main body and an opposite second end formed with an insertion hole so that an electrotherapeutic pulse output terminal inserted into the insertion hole is able to send electrotherapeutic pulses generated by an electrotherapeutic pulse generator sequentially through the socket, the conductive carbon black in the electrotherapeutic sole, and the tips of the electrode protuberances to the corresponding acupoints in the human sole.

2. The electrotherapeutic sole of claim 1 , wherein the electrotherapeutic sole has a hardness of 57˜63° A.

3. The electrotherapeutic sole of claim 2 , wherein the electrotherapeutic sole has a maximum thickness of 4.5˜6.5 mm.

4. The electrotherapeutic sole of claim 3 , wherein the electrotherapeutic sole has a bottom portion formed with a flat surface.

5. The electrotherapeutic sole of claim 2 , wherein the socket is provided in the main body at a position corresponding to the arch of the human sole, and the second end of the socket is formed with the insertion hole at a position corresponding to a lateral edge of the main body.

6. The electrotherapeutic sole of claim 3 , wherein the socket is provided in the main body at a position corresponding to the arch of the human sole, and the second end of the socket is formed with the insertion hole at a position corresponding to a lateral edge of the main body.

7. The electrotherapeutic sole of claim 4 , wherein the socket is provided in the main body at a position corresponding to the arch of the human sole, and the second end of the socket is formed with the insertion hole at a position corresponding to a lateral edge of the main body.

8. The electrotherapeutic sole of claim 1 , wherein the socket is provided in the main body at a position corresponding to the arch of the human sole, and the second end of the socket is formed with the insertion hole at a position corresponding to a lateral edge of the main body.
