Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to fishing footwear, and more particularly, to a fishing footwear having an upper portion on a shoe sole.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, except for special items such as sandals and clogs, footwear is provided with an upper portion for covering the instep portion of the foot on a shoe sole for heat retention and protection of the foot. Have been. In particular, since there are many dangers at the fishing ground and there are cases where the feet are inadvertently injured, for example, as the fishing footwear worn for fishing, those with the upper portion as described above are used, In addition, at the fishing spot, there are cases where the player moves around to search for points and there are many places where the scaffold is bad, so in consideration of ease of walking, the upper portion is relatively easy to deform following the movement of the foot. Those made of flexible materials are used.

[0003]

However, due to the flexibility of the upper portion, in the above-mentioned fishing footwear, for example, when the shoe enters the water, the toe portion is pressed by the water pressure, and the finger is pressed by the toe portion. In some cases, the finger may be injured by hitting the toe portion against a rock, and it may be difficult to say that the finger can be sufficiently protected.

[0004] In such a case, if shoes such as so-called safety shoes provided with an iron plate at the toe, such as shoes worn at a factory site or the like, reduce the risk of finger pressure. Although it is difficult to walk around due to the weight increase due to the iron plate, and where the scaffold is bad, the entire shoe deforms greatly according to the shape of the scaffold, and instead of protecting the finger, the edge of the iron plate touches the finger and hurt the finger Things are possible.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and there is little possibility that the ease of walking is impaired.
An object of the present invention is to provide fishing footwear that can sufficiently protect fingers.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems,
A fishing footwear according to the present invention is a fishing footwear comprising an upper portion on a sole portion, wherein a toe portion of the upper portion has a reinforcing hood made of a synthetic polymer to reinforce the toe portion. A body is provided. In the fishing footwear having the above configuration, the reinforcing hood reinforces the toe, so that the risk that the finger is pressed by the toe is reduced and the edge of the reinforcing hood is applied to the finger. Even in the case of contact, since the reinforcing hood is made of a synthetic polymer, the risk of damaging the finger is reduced as compared with the case where an iron plate is used. Moreover, since the synthetic polymer is lighter in weight than the iron plate, the weight increase of the entire footwear can be suppressed.

In the fishing footwear according to the present invention, it is preferable that the reinforcing hood is built in the toe. If the reinforcing hood is built in, the edge of the hood can be prevented from contacting the foot, and the risk of injuring the finger is further reduced. Further, as in the case where the toe is provided on the outside, even if the toe is hit against a rock or the like, the possibility that the reinforcing hood body is peeled off is reduced.

Examples of the synthetic polymer in the present invention include synthetic resins (nylon, propylene, polyethylene terephthalate, etc.) and synthetic rubbers (butyl rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, etc.).

As the synthetic resin, a fiber reinforced resin is preferable, and as the synthetic rubber, a rubber containing styrene is preferable. The fiber-reinforced resin has remarkably high strength as compared with the case of using only the resin, can sufficiently reinforce the toe, and can more sufficiently protect the wearer's finger. Rubber containing styrene has higher strength and hardness than rubber not containing, and can sufficiently reinforce a toe portion, and can more sufficiently protect a wearer's finger. Furthermore, because of the inherent rubber elasticity of rubber, even if the edge of the reinforcing hood body contacts the finger, the risk of damaging the finger is further reduced, and even if an impact is applied to the toe, The shock is absorbed and reduced, and the wearer's finger can be protected from the shock.
Moreover, these resins and rubber are made of iron plate (specific gravity 7.8 g /
Since the specific gravity is smaller than that of cc), the entire shoe can be reduced in weight, and the possibility that the ease of walking is impaired is reduced.

The rubber containing styrene is preferably provided with styrene-butadiene rubber, and its content is 55 to 7% based on the total amount of styrene-butadiene rubber.
5% by weight is preferred. Styrene-butadiene rubber has a higher hardness as the content of styrene increases.However, by providing styrene-butadiene rubber having such a content, a reinforcing hood body has appropriate hardness and rubber elasticity, and is reinforced. It is suitable as a food body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, taking a fishing shoe as an example. FIG. 1 is a perspective view including a partly broken view of the fishing shoe of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the fishing shoe of the present embodiment is provided with an upper portion 1 on a shoe sole 2. The shoe sole 2 includes a ground rubber plate layer 3 as a lowermost layer, a nonwoven fabric layer 4 provided on the upper surface of the ground rubber plate layer 3, and an insole 5 provided on the upper surface side of the nonwoven fabric layer 4. And has a three-layer structure.

The ground rubber plate layer 3 is a layer whose lower surface is in contact with the ground and grips the ground, and is made of a rubber plate having high adhesiveness and high wear strength.

The non-woven fabric layer 4 is a layer that prevents extreme deformation and breakage of the shoe sole 2 and imparts appropriate cushioning properties. The non-woven fabric layer 4 is laid and adhered to substantially the entire upper surface of the rubber plate layer. The non-woven fabric layer 4 is made of a non-woven fabric made of synthetic fibers. As the synthetic fibers, polyester fibers (polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, etc.) are used to obtain an appropriate strength.

The insole 5 is laid on the upper surface of the nonwoven fabric layer 4 in an unbonded state. The insole 5 provides a sufficient cushioning property to reduce the impact from the ground, and is made of, for example, urethane foam.

The upper portion 1 is mainly composed of an outer cloth member 7 which is flexible and hard to break on the surface side, and an inner cloth member 8 which is adhered to the inside of the outer cloth member 7 and has excellent cushioning properties. Have been. In the outer cloth member 7, the toe side of the toe portion 1a of the upper portion 1 (that is, the portion that covers the wearer's finger) is formed to be thicker than the other portions. An air layer 22 is formed inside substantially the entire area.

Further, a reinforcing hood 21 is interposed between the outer cloth member 7 and the inner cloth member 8 at the toe portion 1a of the upper part 1, and the outer cloth member 7 and the inner cloth member 8 are provided. It is adhered in a state built in.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view showing the reinforcing hood body 21 built in the toe portion 1a. The reinforcing hood body 21 is formed by molding a fiber reinforced resin into a hood shape as shown in FIG. 2 to cover the wearer's finger. That is, it is molded in substantially the same shape as the toe portion 1a of the upper portion 1, and is formed so as to cover from the tip end of the wearer's toe to the tip end of the finger slightly. The rear end side of the reinforcing hood body 21 is tapered in a tapered shape, that is, formed thinner toward the rear end, and the rear end 21a is made more flexible (easy to bend) than other portions.

Further, the fiber reinforced resin used for the reinforcing hood body 21 is a nonwoven fabric such as aramid fiber impregnated with a resin such as polyester or nylon, and has a specific gravity of 0.9-1.
1 g / cc, the average thickness is set to 1.6 to 2.0 mm,
Hardness (Shore A) is 10 ~ of synthetic leather (polyvinyl chloride)
It is 20 times.

The fishing footwear (shoes) of the present embodiment has the following advantages since it is configured as described above. That is, in the present embodiment, since the air layer 22 is formed on the cloth member (outer cloth member 7) constituting the toe portion 1a, the impact applied to the toe portion 1a is absorbed by the air layer, and This has the advantage that the impact exerted is further reduced. In particular, it is more effective if the air layer 22 is sealed.

Further, in this embodiment, the reinforcing hood body 21 has a rear end 21a that is more flexible than other parts, so that the rear end 21a holds the wearer's finger (through the inner cloth member 8). D) The risk of injury to the finger when pressed is also reduced.

Further, in the present embodiment, the fiber reinforced resin used for the reinforcing hood 21 is set to the above specific gravity and the above hardness, so that the toe portion 1a can be reinforced to a sufficient hardness. As a result, the entire shoe can be made sufficiently lightweight as compared with the case of using.

Although the fishing footwear according to the present embodiment is configured as described above, the present invention is not limited to the above configuration, and the design can be changed as appropriate. That is, in the above embodiment, the reinforcing hood body 21 uses a fiber reinforced resin in which a nonwoven fabric such as aramid fiber is impregnated with a resin such as polyester or nylon as a synthetic polymer. A mixture of butyl rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber having 1.6 g / cc, a thickness of 1.4 to 1.6 mm, and a hardness (Shore A) set to 5 to 10 times that of natural rubber can also be used.

In the above embodiment, shoes have been described as an example of footwear. However, the present invention can be applied to, for example, ayu, fishing boots, and other equipment having the upper part 1.

[0024]

As described above, in the fishing footwear according to the present invention, the increase in weight is suppressed and the ease of walking is less likely to be impaired, and the risk of finger pressure or injury is reduced. This has the effect that the finger can be sufficiently protected.
