Definitions

  • This invention relates to a disposable tissue soc or stocking sole and relates more particularly to a stocking sole formed as a single unit or monolith of a plurality of layers of thin absorbent paper or the like, in laminar form to be inserted into a shoe, to replace, if desired, wearing a sock or other foot covering.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide an article of the type described which need not be washed and reused but which may be disposed of after one wearing.
  • a still further object of this instant invention is the provision of a disposable sock of the type described which is always form fitting and does not wrinkle and show at the top of a ladys shoe as articles known heretofore having done after washing.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such an article of manufacture which will function as a stocking sole and an innersole to protect both the shoe and the foot of the wearer.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an article in which a plurality of absorbent paper layers are stitched or glued together with their edges crimped to form a unitary monolithic product.
  • a still further object of the instant invention is to provide such an article having the layers held together by deforming the surfaces with three-dimensional designforming imprints which extend completely through the unit.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a disposable innersole or the like having a bottom waterproof layer to prevent perspiration from reaching the shoe sole.
  • a still further object of this invention is the provision of a disposable sock of the type described having a toe retaining portion formed integral with the forward end of the same to facilitate using the article.
  • FIGURE 1 is a top plan View of one embodiment of a disposable innersole in accordance with the instant invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a transverse sectional view along line 2 2 of FIGURE 1 in the direction of the arrows.
  • FIGURE 3 is a perspective view of the innersole of FIGURE l showing the edge portions curled slightly upward at the inner end of the crimp.
  • FIGURE 4 is a top plan view of a further modification of the disposable innersole of the instant invention.
  • FIGURE 5 is a transverse cross-sectional view of a portion of the innersole of FIGURE 4 showing the imprints extending completely through the top layers.
  • FIGURE 6 is a perspective view of a still further modiiication of the innersole of the instant invention.
  • reference numeral 10 generally indicates one embodiment of the disposable innersole of the instant invention.
  • the innersole 10 can be seen to have a forward toe portion 12, a rear heel portion 14 and edge portions shown as crimped or sealed together at 16.
  • the innersole is comprised of a plurality of layers or plies of an absorbent material, such as facial tissue paper or the like, three such layers being shown as a monolithic unit at 1S in FIGURES 2 and 5.
  • the layers 18 are held together by a plurality of longitudinally and transversely extending rows of stitches 20'. While the rows of stitches 20 are shown as only approaching the crimped edge portion 16, it is clear that for simplicity of manufacture they may extend over the entire surface of the innersole 10.
  • the innersole 1G slightly larger than the sole portion of Ithe shoe in which it is to be used so that when the foot of the user is inserted into the shoe, the edge portion 16 will curl up at the inner end of the crimp to conform itself to the shape of the foot as shown in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 4 does not require the use of stitches such as 2@ to hold the plurality of layers 18 together as a monolith, but instead relies upon the use of an adhesive 22 between the layers 18 to form the integral or monolithic structure.
  • a dye or design carrying rollers may be pressed over the laminate to form a plurality of three-dimensional imprints 24.
  • the design preferably extends completely through these layers. This improves not only the appearance and the comfortableness of the article, but also its durability.
  • FIGURE 5 a cross section through one of the imprints 24 is shown.
  • a flat or planar bottom layer 26 formed of a waterproof material is seen to be fixed to the projections in the lower surface of the layers 18 of the embodiment shown in FIGURE 5.
  • Each of the upper layers 1S is formed of a tissue 'like material, as explained hereinbefore, which is absorbent and which will take up any perspiration. The bottom layer 26 will prevent this perspiration passing through to the material of the shoe which it might harm.
  • such a layer as 26 may be aiiixed to the bottom surface of the embodiment shown in FIGURE l as well as shown in FIGURE 4 and if used with the latter, may have the imprint 24 pressed directly into and through it or the imprint may be secured after the upper layers 18 have been formed.
  • FIGURE 6 A further modication of either of the embodiments of FIGS. 1 or 4 is shown in FIGURE 6 wherein a toe-retaining envelope 28 is provided at the front portion 12 of the innersole lil.
  • This envelope 28 may 4be formed in any conventional manner, such as by molding or by cutting flexible portions from the plurality of layers 12, folding them linto the envelope and adhesively sealing them together. If desired, a separate envelope 28 may be formed and then adhesively or otherwise affixed to the front portion 12 of the innersole 10.
  • the top edge of tongue 2S is preferably formed with a central and rearwardly directed convexity smoothly merging at each side with smaller concave portions.
  • FIGURES 1-5 Any of the embodiments shown in FIGURES 1-5 will be lslipped into the shoe overlying the sole portion thereof and the foot of the user will 3 then be inserted.
  • the innersole will form a protective layer between the sole of the shoe and the sole of the user.
  • the edge portion 16 will mold itself to the foot of the user thereby avoiding the possibility that the innersole 10 will slip during walking.
  • the material of the layers 18 of the innersole 10V is absorbent, it will take up any perspiration and retain the same to provide a more comfortable and healthy atmosphere in the shoe.
  • the bottom layer 26 will further improve the inersole by protecting the shoe from this perspiration.
  • the toes will be slipped into the envelope 2S while the remainder of the innersole 10 is held to the bottom of the foot and then the latter will be inserted into the shoe. This will greatly simplify retaining the innersole 10 stationary, relative to the foot of the user during lthe insertion procedure.
  • This article may be slipped on in a shoe store to protect the shoe and to maintain the foot of the user free from infection.
  • a disposable innersole for insertion into a shoe having a sole portion comprising a. plurality, at least of a magnitude of three, of layers of thin absorbent paper, each layer generally formed to the shape of said sole portion,
  • each of the layers is larger than the sole portion of the shoe thus forming edge portions completely therearound, and the edge portions are perpendicularly crimped thereacross,
  • edge portions to be bent upwardly at the inner end of the crimp and sharply away from the plane of the sole, when the innersole is inserted in the shoe.
  • the envelope being boundedv at its top by a central and rearwardly directed convex edge
