Bei einem Diabetiker sind die Füße besonders gefährdet. Um sie mit Nährstoffen zu versorgen und um Gefühle von dort weiterzuleiten, müssen Gefäße und Nerven im Körper einen weiten Weg zurücklegen und je weiter der Weg ist, desto eher können Schäden entstehen. Durch Diabetes können die Nerven in ihrer Funktion eingeschränkt sein, so dass z.B. Schmerzen nicht an das Gehirn gemeldet werden können. Ein kleiner Stein im Schuh kann so eine kleine Verletzung am Fuß erzeugen, die immer größer wird und sich entzündet, so dass der "diabetische Fuß" durch Neuropathie entsteht. Außerdem kann die Durchblutung an den Füßen eingeschränkt sein. Ist sie im Rahmen einer Arteriosklerose eingeschränkt, sind Wundheilungsstörungen die Folge. Solange die Durchblutung nicht wiederhergestellt ist, werden in der Regel alle Bemühungen zur Wundheilung scheitern.In a diabetic, the feet are particularly at risk. Around to provide them with nutrients and to transmit feelings from there, Vessels and nerves in the body need a wide Travel the way and the further the way, the sooner you can Damage occurs. By diabetes, the nerves in their Be limited function, so that e.g. No pain the brain can be reported. A small stone in the shoe can thus produce a minor injury to the foot, always gets bigger and gets inflamed, leaving the "diabetic foot" caused by neuropathy. In addition, the blood circulation can be limited to the feet. Is she in the context of atherosclerosis limited, wound healing disorders are the Episode. As long as the blood circulation is not restored, As a rule, all wound healing efforts will fail.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Schuh der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der die Druckentlasung eines Fußes sichert und somit die Gefahr der Bildung eines diabetischen Fußes reduziert ist.It is an object of the invention to provide a shoe of the aforementioned Art to create the pressure release of a foot assures and thus the danger of forming a diabetic Foot is reduced.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Umhüllung zur Bildung der Kammern im Inneren umfangsseitig einstückig mit einer Trennfolie verbunden ist, die die Umhüllung horizontal in die Kammern etwa gleicher Größe unterteilt und die mit dem gasförmigen Medium gefüllte Kammer unmittelbar zu einem Fuß bzw. einer Fußsohle benachbart ist. According to the invention the object is achieved in that the envelope to form the chambers inside circumferentially integrally connected to a release liner, which is the wrapper horizontally divided into the chambers of about the same size and the chamber filled with the gaseous medium immediately is adjacent to a foot or a foot sole.

Die Kombination der mit den unterschiedlichen Medien gefüllten Kammern stellt eine relativ hohe Druckentlastung des Fußes sicher. Kleinere im Schuh befindliche Gegenstände, wie beispielsweise kleine Steine, werden in die Einlegesohle gedrückt, ohne dass sie zu einer Beschädigung des Fußes führen. Beim Gehen, also beim Abrollen des Fußes, findet eine Verlagerung der Medien innerhalb der beiden Kammern der Umhüllung statt, wobei sich die Medien von den maximal belasteten Bereichen in die minimal belasteten Bereiche innerhalb der Kammern verlagern. Damit erfolgt eine entlastende Wirkung des Fußes im Sinne einer Stoßdämpferfunktion. Hierdurch ist die Gefahr der Bildung eines diabetischen Fußes wesentlich reduziert. Selbstverständlich beschränken sich die vorteilhaften Wirkungen nicht ausschließlich auf den diabetischen Fuß, vielmehr entfalten sie sich auch bei nicht an Diabetes erkrankten Menschen mit problembehafteten Füßen. Durch die Anordnung der Trennfolie ist die gegenseitige Abdichtung der beiden Kammern mit relativ einfachen technischen Mitteln gewährleistet. Die Verbindung zwischen der Umhüllung und der Trennfolie kann beispielsweise durch Schweißen realisiert werden. Um eine geeignete Verteilung der Volumina der Medien sicherzustellen, unterteilt die Trennfolie die Umhüllung in die Kammern etwa gleicher Größe.The combination of filled with the different media Chambers provides a relatively high pressure relief of the foot for sure. Smaller things in the shoe, such as for example, small stones are pressed into the insole, without causing damage to the foot. When walking, so when rolling the foot, finds a shift the media within the two chambers of the enclosure instead, taking the media from the maximum loaded areas into the minimally loaded areas within the chambers relocate. Thus, a relieving effect of Foot in the sense of a shock absorber function. This is the Danger of the formation of a diabetic foot significantly reduced. Of course, limit the advantageous Effects not exclusively on the diabetic foot, rather, they also unfold in non-diabetic patients People with troubled feet. By the arrangement the release film is the mutual sealing of the both chambers with relatively simple technical means guaranteed. The connection between the serving and the Release film can be realized for example by welding become. To get a suitable distribution of the volumes of the media ensure the release film divides the wrapping into the chambers about the same size.

Zur Verstärkung der entlastenden Wirkung der Einlegesohle auf den Fuß beim Abrollen des Fußes weist vorteilhafterweise die Trennfolie zumindest auf einer Seite wellenförmige Erhebungen oder Noppen auf. Die wellenförmigen Erhebungen bzw. die Noppen stellen gegenüber den nicht mit Erhebungen bzw. Noppen versehenen Bereichen der Trennfolie Bereiche mit einem erhöhen Widerstand gegen Verformung dar. To reinforce the relieving effect of the insole the foot when rolling the foot advantageously has the Separating film at least on one side wavy elevations or pimples up. The undulating elevations or the knobs do not confront with those with elevations or pimples provided areas of the release film areas with a raise Resistance to deformation.

Eine entlastende Wirkung auf den Fuß selbst sowie die Fußsohle beim Abrollen des Fußes ist auch dadurch sichergestellt, dass die Umhüllung auf der der Trennfolie zugewandten Oberseite mit wellenförmigen Erhebungen oder Noppen versehen ist.A relieving effect on the foot itself and the sole of the foot when rolling the foot is also ensured by that the envelope on the top of the release film facing provided with wave-shaped elevations or nubs.

Um die entlastende Wirkung beim Abrollen des Fußes zu verstärken, korrespondieren bevorzugt die Scheitelpunkte der wellenförmigen Erhebungen oder der Noppen der Trennfolie zu denen der Umhüllung. Alternativ hierzu sind die Scheitelpunkte der wellenförmigen Erhebungen oder der Noppen der Trennfolie versetzt zu denen der Umhüllung ausgerichtet. Bei einer Belastung gleiten die Erhebungen aufeinander ab.To strengthen the relief effect when rolling the foot, Correspondingly, the vertices correspond to undulating elevations or the nubs of the release film too those of the serving. Alternatively, the vertices the wave-shaped elevations or the nubs of the release film offset from those of the envelope. At a Load the surveys slide off each other.

Vorteilhafterweise ist die erste Kammer mit unmittelbar nebeneinander angeordneten Kugeln oder Hohlkugeln aus einem elastisch verformbaren, festen Material gefüllt. Diese Füllung bewirkt bei einer Bewegung des Fußes eine Druckentlastung desselben.Advantageously, the first chamber is immediately adjacent to each other arranged balls or hollow balls of an elastic deformable, solid material filled. This filling causes pressure relief when the foot moves thereof.

Bevorzugt sind in der zweiten Kammer unmittelbar nebeneinander liegende Kugeln oder Hohlkugeln aus einem Elastomer angeordnet. Alternativ hierzu ist zweckmäßigerweise in der zweiten Kammer ein mit flüssigem Medium gefüllter Schlauch aus einem Elastomer spiralförmig oder in parallel sowie unmittelbar nebeneinandergeordneten Schlangen angeordnet. Diese Maßnahmen erhöhen die Druckentlastung des Fußes.Preferred are in the second chamber immediately next to each other lying balls or hollow balls made of an elastomer. Alternatively, it is expedient in the second Chamber a filled with liquid medium hose an elastomer spiral or in parallel and immediately arranged next to each other queues. These measures increase the pressure relief of the foot.

Um einen relativ hohen Laufkomfort bei geringer Druckbelastung bereitzustellen, ist vorteilhaft das flüssige Medium ein Gel. Im Weiteren ist das elastisch verformbare, feste Medium ein Elastomer. Sowohl das Gel als auch das Elastomer lässt sich bezüglich der erforderlichen Viskosität nahezu beliebig fertigen, wobei auf Standartprodukte zurückgegriffen werden kann.For a relatively high ride comfort at low pressure load is advantageous to provide the liquid medium Gel. Furthermore, the elastically deformable, solid medium an elastomer. Both the gel and the elastomer leaves almost arbitrary with respect to the required viscosity manufacture using standard products can.
