Shoe assist system
View Patent ↗A shoe assist system including an insole assembly, a sliding assembly, and a spring assembly. The insole assembly includes an insole. The insole can be inserted in the shoe to provide support to the user. The insole has an opening on a central portion thereof. The sliding assembly includes a slidable element. The slidable element slides back and forth in the opening of the insole. The spring assembly includes at least one spring inserted in the insole. The spring provides cushioning to the insole while walking or running.
1. A shoe assist system, comprising:
an insole assembly, wherein said insole assembly includes an insole, said insole is insertable in a shoe, said insole has a bottom portion with an rectangular opening centrally located; wherein the bottom portion contours to a periphery of the insole: said insole features a channel on a bottom surface of the insole so that when the insole is placed upon the bottom portion the channel is circumscribed within the rectangular central opening: wherein the channel extends along a length of the rectangular central opening;
a sliding assembly, wherein said sliding assembly includes a rectangular slidable element that is shaped to fit said rectangular opening; wherein said slidable element has a protruding element extending along a length of the slidable element; wherein the protruding element is attached to said channel and is configured to slide back and forth along said channel within the rectangular central opening; wherein the slidable element is configured to slide backwards when a front portion of the bottom portion is elevated with respect to a rear portion of the bottom portion due to gravity, and slide forward when the rear portion of the bottom portion is elevated with respect to the front portion of the bottom portion also due to gravity, wherein said slidable element attached to the channel defines an arch inserting; and
a spring assembly including a first spring and a second spring; wherein said first spring is inserted into the rear portion of said bottom portion; wherein said second spring is inserted into the front portion of said bottom portion; wherein said rectangular central opening is located between the first and the second springs.
2. The shoe assist system set forth in claim 1 , wherein an uppermost end of each of said springs is fixed to said insole and said springs are inserted into said bottom portion.
3. The shoe assist system set forth in claim 1 , wherein said bottom portion is thicker than said insole.
4. A shoe assist system, consisting of:
an insole assembly, wherein said insole assembly includes an insole, said insole is insertable in a shoe, said insole has a bottom portion with an rectangular opening centrally located; wherein said bottom portion is thicker than said insole; wherein the bottom portion contours to a periphery of the insole; said insole features a channel on a bottom surface of the insole so that when the insole is placed upon the bottom portion the channel is circumscribed within the rectangular central opening; wherein the channel extends along a length of the rectangular central opening;
a sliding assembly, wherein said sliding assembly includes a rectangular slidable element that is shaped to fit said rectangular opening; wherein said slidable element has a protruding element extending along a length of the slidable element; wherein the protruding element is attached to said channel and is configured to slide back and forth along said channel within the rectangular central opening; wherein said slidable element attached to the channel defines an arch inserting;
a spring assembly including a first spring and a second spring; wherein said first spring is inserted into a rear portion of said bottom portion; wherein said second spring is inserted into a front portion of said bottom portion; wherein said rectangular central opening is located between the first and the second springs;
wherein said slidable element moves back when said front portion is elevated with respect to said rear portion due to gravity; wherein said slidable element moves forth when said rear portion is elevated relative to said front portion also due to gravity.
