DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toe protector used for protecting a toe from a hand breaker, a call pick or the like used in construction.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a hand breaker, a call pick or the like is used as an air tool when concrete is cut or a slope is constructed on a mountain, but only safety shoes are used to protect the toes. There is no special protective equipment as shown in the figure.

[0003]

A hand breaker or the like, which is frequently used in construction work, vibrates a sharp tip with air as power, and is used by pressing the tip against the ground or the like. Normally, this tip is not so far from the toes, but the tip may accidentally hit the toes or the instep during work, causing injury. However, since the shoes used for the work are not prepared for protection for this, injuries cannot be prevented. In addition, there are safety shoes that have a metal plate built into their toes, but these shoes are mainly intended to protect the toes against falling objects. Protection is not considered. Therefore, at the present time, when using a hand breaker or the like, it is necessary to work while paying attention to the safety of the toes. The present invention was invented in order to solve the problems related to the safety of conventional construction work as described above, and provides a tool that can secure foot safety by being attached to a toe. It was developed for the purpose of doing so.

[0004]

According to the present invention, as a means for solving the problems, a belt is inserted through a chevron plate, and the plate is attached to the toe with the belt. That is, a rectangular plate made of a hard material is bent from its center to form a chevron having inclined surfaces on the left and right sides, and a vertical plate is fixed to the rear of the plate, and further directed toward the front from the rear of the plate. A downwardly inclined surface is provided, and through holes are formed in the rear part of the plate body and the left and right of the vertical plate, and the belts are inserted through the through holes. The present invention is a construction toe protector having the above configuration.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to use the present invention, first loosen each belt and pass the foot through the belt, then tighten the belt to position the protection plate of the present invention on the upper surface of the foot. In this state, use a hand breaker, etc., but even if the tip of the breaker accidentally touches the toe or the instep, this protection plate is formed of a hard material of a predetermined thickness, and the shape of the mountain shape Therefore, the tip of the breaker slides down one side of the slope,
Damage to the foot can be prevented. In addition, since this protection plate also has an inclined surface at the front and back, the tip of the breaker hitting the protection plate moves in the left and right and front and rear directions and slides down, thereby protecting the foot. Further, since the vertical plate is located at the rear part of the protection plate, even if the tip of the breaker comes near the ankle, it is possible to guard with the vertical plate. Since this protection plate is fixed to the foot with two belts, the protection plate can always be positioned on the foot to ensure foot safety.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a protection plate formed by bending a rectangular iron plate of about 3 mm from its center and forming a mountain shape having left and right inclined surfaces. This protection plate has a vertical plate 2 fixed to the rear part, and the whole protection plate has an inclined surface descending from the rear part toward the front part, and both sides have a shape bent slightly downward. ing. Elongated holes are formed on both sides near the rear of the protection plate and on both sides of the vertical plate, and the belts 3 and 4 are inserted through these elongated holes. The above is one embodiment of the present invention.

Although the outline of the present invention has been described above, in this example, a 3 mm-thick iron plate is used as a hard material, and the toes can be protected with sufficient strength and durability.
In addition, since the protective plate is mounted on the shoe and does not hinder the movement of the foot, the protective plate has a mountain-like shape, so that the central portion has a small distance from the upper surface of the shoe, so that the impact can be reduced. In this example, the protection plate is formed using an iron plate, but a hard plastic or another hard material may be used. The illustration shows one embodiment of the present invention, and other shapes having a predetermined inclined surface may be used. As described above, the present invention can protect the toes in the case of construction.

[0008]

According to the present invention, since the protection plate having the inclined surface is located on the foot, even if the tip of the hand breaker hits the foot, the foot is not damaged.
A useful tool that can secure the safety of the toes can be obtained. In addition, since it is fixed to the foot with the belt, it is possible to provide a user-friendly protective device adapted to the size of the foot.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A rectangular plate made of a hard material is bent from the center thereof to form a chevron having left and right inclined surfaces, and a vertical plate is fixed to a rear portion of the plate, and further, a front plate is fixed to the front of the rear of the plate. A toe protector for construction, characterized in that an inclined surface descending toward the part is provided, through holes are formed in the rear part of the plate and on the left and right sides of the vertical plate, and belts are inserted through the through holes.
