Description
NON-PROVISIONAL PATENT

This patent claims the benefit of parent 111250,389. This is a continuation in part of application 111250,389.


BACKGROUND

This invention relates to an article for placement between toes of a human being to prevent irritation. Athlete's feet is a common ailment that is difficult to cure. Athlete's feet is a fungal infection of the skin that causes scaling flaking and itching of the areas of the foot. The most common of these infections occur in the web spaces in between the toes. Athlete's foot can be treated by a number of pharmaceutical products. The present invention provides an easy method to keep the web spaces in between the toes and allow the infection to heel more quickly.


SUMMARY

The object of this invention it to provide a pad that is capable of separating the toes of the feet and preventing irritation of the same. Another object of the present invention is to separate the toes and prevent irritation therein. The present invention provides an inter-digital pad of various sizes, shapes and depth to accommodate the web spaces between the toes. The inter-digital pad comprises an outer layer of an impermeable material encompassing an absorbent layer of material. Numerous other objects and advantages will be evident as the following specification is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings below.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring to FIG. 1 there is shown one embodiment of the present invention, inter-digital pad (50). In the illustrated embodiment in FIG. 1, inter-digital pad (50) has a polygonal shape with an elongated length constructed to fit the length of the longer toes of a human foot. Inter-digital pad (50) is defined by a top side (55), front edge (51), a back edge (52) and two opposing side edges (54, 55). In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the front edge (51) is linear. back edge (52) is curved, and topside (55) has a plurality of ridges (72) incorporated thereon. The pad can be manufactured and segmented into any length required to be inter-disposed, between the web spaces of the toes.


Each inter-digital pad (50) has a length equivalent to the length between each toe, a width to encompass the opposing surface areas between each toe, and a depth to accommodate the space between each toe. When inserted, the back edge (52) can have a curved edge in one embodiment to seat upon the space between a toe. When inter-digital pad is inter-deposed between the toes, opposing side edges (54, 55) is pressed upon opposing surface areas.


Referring to FIG. IA, there is shown a cross-section of inter-digital pad 50. As shown, inter-digital pad comprises an inner section (57) composed of an absorbent material encompassed by an outer section (59) made of a non-absorbent material with the outer peripheral edges sealed. When in use, the moisture between the web spaces of the toes are absorbed through the outer section (59) and contained within the inner section (57) allowing the web spaces between the toes to be maintain dry. Additionally, a medicated product can be contained within inner section (57) and/or outer section (59).


The inter-digital pad 50 inner section can be made of cotton, polyester, sponge material, rayon, cellulose material, absorbent polymers, any combination thereof, or any other suitable absorbent material. The inter-digital pad 50 outer section can be made of non-absorbent polymers, gel material, glass material, synthetic material, or any other suitable non-absorbent material. The combination can range from 1 to 99. Additionally, each of the various shapes of the inter-digital pad can be made with a plurality of apertures within the outer section of inter-digital pad or a plurality of apertures extending through both the inner section and outer section of the inter-digital pad (50). The pad can be up to 8 inches in width, 10 inches in length, or 4 inches in thickness. FIG. 1B illustrates the pad seated between the web spaces of the toes. FIG. 1C illustrates a cross section of the pad seated between one toe.


Referring to FIG. 2 there is shown another embodiment of the present invention, inter-digital pad (50). In this illustrated embodiment, back edge (52) is linear and inter-digital pad has a shorter length to accommodate toes of shorter length.


Referring to FIG. 3 there is shown a plurality of inter-digital pads (50) overlaying each other for insertion between the web spaces of toes of larger depth. The embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4 is substantially the same as the illustrated embodiment in FIG. 1 except that this of inter digital pad (62) embodiment has a thicker depth. As illustrated the front edge (51) is linear, back edge (52) is curved, underside is flat, and topside (55) has ridges.


Referring to FIG. 5 there is shown another embodiment of the present invention, inter-digital pad (86). this embodiment is the substantially the same as FIG. 4 except it has all straight edges.


Referring to FIG. 6 there is shown another embodiment of the present invention, inter-digital pad (70). In this embodiment the various embodiments of inter-digital pads illustrated in FIG. 3 are stack atop the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5. These pads are pads (74) are stack atop a thicker pad (86).



FIG. 7-20 illustrates alternative configurations of the inter-digital pad. FIG. 7 shows an alternative embodiment with deeper and longer curved ridges on top side. FIG. 7A depicts an embodiment of the pad with a straight back side edge with deeper and longer curved ridges on the top side. FIG. 8 depicts an embodiment showing layering of thin shorter and longer pads. FIG. 9 depicts an embodiment showing layering of thicker and shorter pads. FIG. 10 depicts an embodiment illustrating longer and shorter pad of a thicker depth layered together; the pads also have longer ridges on the top surface of both the longer and shorter pads. FIG. 11 depicts an embodiment with longer pads folder over forming a recessed portion for receiving shorter pads there between. FIG. 12 depicts the same embodiment illustrated in FIG. 11, but an oval shape is incorporated into the top side of the longer pad having a polygonal shape. FIG. 13 depicts an embodiment of the pad with an oval incorporated therein. FIG. 14 illustrates an embodiment of the pad in an oval shape. FIG. 15 depicts an embodiment of the pad with twisted ridges incorporated upon the top side of the pad. FIG. 16 depicts an embodiment with illustrates double edge layers. FIG. 17-18 depicts an embodiment composed of opposing triangular shaped pad with connecting apex points. FIG. 18 depicts the range of layering. FIG. 19 depicts the two pads layered upon each other. FIG. 20 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the inter-digital pad in an oval shape.


The inter-digital pad can be configured as depicted in FIGS. 85-216. Each pad can be configured as illustrated in FIGS. 85-216 will be configured as shown in FIG. 1A. However the pad can be configured with a single layer of absorbent pad or non-absorbent pad.
