The present invention relates to a shoe structure for ground engagement and the static electricity discharge, and more particularly, to a shoe structure for maintaining health by charging the energy of the earth through an earthing and discharging (grounding) static electricity generated inside and outside the body through the earth.
The term “earthing” means that the body is electrically connected through contact with the earth, that is, the ground (surface of the earth), to maintain health by charging the earth's energy, and is a kind of alternative medicine for treating inflammation and pain as well as preventing diseases in recent years.
The pioneer of Earthing is Clinton Over in the United States, which started with the question that humans may not maintain their health because they are disconnected from natural electrical charges on the surface due to shoes that have been outfitted with plastic or rubber for a long time, and has since been proven to be true through scientific research by many researchers including biophysics, electrophysiologists, doctors, and exercise physiologists.
The world is paying attention to the effects of “Earthing” on the human body, as the effects of Earthing were presented at the 53rd Autumn Conference at the Korea Analytical Science Society as well as overseas, under the theme of “The Human Effects and Earthing Effects of Electromagnetic Waves.”
In addition, the static electricity is a phenomenon in which an object obtained as electrons move has a negative charge and an object that has lost electrons has a positive charge, which is called an electrification phenomenon. The static electricity is generated when two or more insulators rub against each other, and even in the inside of a human body, while blood circulates throughout the body at a high speed, static electricity may be generated by friction between red blood cells and blood vessels, and between red blood cells and red blood cells.
In addition, static electricity is generated in the tissues of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, red blood cells, and lymph isocycles in which blood and lymph flow in the human body, static electricity is generated in the tissues of the digestive system in which food is received, and static electricity is also generated in the tissues of the lungs and bronchi of the respiratory system in which air is introduced and discharged through breathing.
As such, human static electricity generated inside the human body accumulates in fat cells or cell membranes with high electrical resistance, and accumulated human static electricity causes discharge to damage nerve cells. Therefore, if static electricity accumulated in the body is not discharged out of the body, it may cause a disease, so it should be discharged out of the body as quickly and completely as possible.
The ground is a very important means for allowing static electricity charged to an object to flow to the earth, and in the case of static electricity, the ground should be provided in a case of a Conductive & Dissipative having a specific resistance of 108 [Ω·m] or less.
In general, the contact with the ground by using a conductor is referred to as the ground (earth), and in order to provide the earthing and discharge of static electricity to the human body, it is preferable that a ground means is formed on an insole supporting the sole of the foot.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shoe for maintaining health by being able to charge the energy of the earth through earthing and to discharge static electricity generated inside and outside the human body quickly and completely out of the body.
To achieve the above aim, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a shoe structure for earth ground and the discharge of static electricity comprises a shoe and an insole built into the shoe and having a earth ground and a static electricity discharge means, wherein the insole comprises a base plate, a foot contact plate which is adhered to the top surface of the base plate and made of a copper plate, a conduction unit which is extended from both sides or the rear of the foot contact plate and is exposed above an ankle support unit so as to enable a grounding unit to be connected, and a grounding unit which is electrically connected to the conduction unit and is grounded on the earth.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the conduction unit comprises: an extension unit extending from both side surfaces of a foot contact plate or from the rear side thereof; a bent unit extending from the extension unit and mounted on an ankle support unit of a shoe; and a ground connection unit extending from the bent unit and formed vertically downward.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the extension unit, the bent unit, and the ground connection unit comprise a copper plate, wherein a coating plate is adhered to one side surface of the copper plate so as to protect the copper plate.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the grounding unit comprises a copper plate and a coated plate attached to one side of the copper plate, wherein the copper plate of the grounding unit is in close contact with the copper plate of the grounding connection unit to be coupled by a coupling means, and the lower end of the grounding unit is configured to form a folded or rolled earth grounding unit such that the copper plate is in contact with the earth.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the grounding unit is made of a metal chain and is configured to be connected to the ground connection unit as a feature.
As described above, the present invention provides a structure capable of charging earth energy through earthing and quickly and completely discharging static electricity generated inside and outside the human body to the outside of the human body, thereby keeping the human body healthy.
