ORTHOTIC SOLE AND INSOLE DEVICES, SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR USE WITH HIGH HEEL FOOTWEAR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032646 titled 'ORTHOTIC SOLE AND INSOLE DEVICES, SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR USE WITH HIGH HEEL FOOTWEAR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes orthotic sole devices, systems, methods, and computer readable media for use with footwear. These devices are shaped to match the user's feet using three-dimensional scans. Each device includes a sunken heel portion, a stopper portion, an arch portion, metatarsal pads, a bunion-cut out shape, and a built-in toe crest portion. These features help redistribute the user's weight away from their forefoot. The devices are infused with oils and silver ions. They are manufactured automatically using computer numerical control (CNC) software on a computer readable medium, and milling machines and 3D printers can be used in conjunction with the systems.

  • Orthotic sole devices, systems, methods, and computer readable media for use with footwear
  • Devices shaped to match the user's feet using three-dimensional scans
  • Features include sunken heel portion, stopper portion, arch portion, metatarsal pads, bunion-cut out shape, and built-in toe crest portion
  • Designed to redistribute user's weight away from forefoot
  • Infused with oils and silver ions
  • Manufactured automatically using CNC software on a computer readable medium
  • Can be used with milling machines and 3D printers

Potential Applications

  • Orthotic insoles for footwear
  • Footwear customization for individuals with specific foot conditions or needs
  • Medical and therapeutic applications for foot support and weight redistribution

Problems Solved

  • Improper weight distribution on the forefoot causing discomfort or pain
  • Lack of customization options for footwear to accommodate specific foot conditions
  • Limited availability of orthotic insoles that effectively redistribute weight and provide support

Benefits

  • Improved comfort and support for individuals wearing footwear with orthotic sole devices
  • Customizable to match the user's specific foot shape and needs
  • Infused with oils and silver ions for potential antimicrobial and odor-reducing properties
  • Automated manufacturing process using CNC software allows for efficient production of the devices


Original Abstract Submitted

orthotic sole devices, systems, methods, and computer readable media are for use with footwear. three-dimensional scans are used to shape the devices to match the user's feet with the footwear. each of the devices includes a sunken heel portion, a stopper portion, an arch portion, metatarsal pads, a bunion-cut out shape, and a built-in toe crest portion, all to help redistribute the user's weight away from their forefoot. the devices are infused with oils and silver ions. the devices are automatically manufactured via computer numerical control (“cnc”) software on a computer readable medium. milling machines and 3d printers can be used in association with the systems, methods, and computer readable media.
