Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such a problem, that simple footwear like slippers is easily slipped off and generates a noise of a pit-a-pat, by inserting a spring (3) in the center of it, to turn up the bottom part of the footwear, and using it easily, safely, and comfortably by everybody. SOLUTION: First, a tip-toe is fit into a tip part (1) and a heel into a heel part (2) and a weight is given on the part (2). Then, a spring (3) turns up and the bottom part of the footwear is bent projectingly upward, and contacts a foot entirely. When taking it off, in the same way, a wearing and taking off part (6) is pressed, then the bottom of the foot turns up and the foot can be pulled out easily.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to footwear, and more particularly to footwear with a high frequency of attachment and detachment, such as slippers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art This type of footwear focuses on ease of use and ease of use. The footrest has a flat footrest simulating the shape of the sole of the foot, and a hook for inserting and hooking the toe ( Including the concept of a bag-like thing or a band-like thing with an open end. The same applies hereinafter). It has a structure that allows the toes to enter from one direction, so it can be easily worn, but it is dangerous because it accidentally comes off during use. For this reason, everyone has experience in putting a force on the toes unconsciously to inflate the toes and toes so that they do not come off. However, for a child or a person with a disability, it is very difficult to perform the operation for preventing the detachment, and it is very dangerous that the footwear easily detaches and falls. Also, since the structure does not cover the heel, rattling noises occur during walking, and in hospitals and public places where quiet environments are important, the rattling noises generated by this kind of simple footwear can be heard loudly. is there.

[0003] Footwear such as shoes has a structure that covers the heel so that the heel portion does not come off, but it is difficult for the foot to enter when wearing because of the difficulty in taking off, and it is very used for children or people with physical disabilities. It is difficult to wear and is the cause of the habit of crushing the heel.

[0004] In order to solve the two problems of the ease of taking off and the rattling sound, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3029630 discloses that the slipper is bent in a U-shape from the center of the footrest to the heel. There is disclosed a technique in which an elastic member is embedded so as to be always elastically displaced at a heel portion.

[0005]

According to the technique disclosed in Japanese Utility Model No. 3029630, a very strong force is always applied to the heel of the foot, so that a general feeling of fit can be obtained among the general people. In addition, the problem of easy removal and rattling noise can be solved, but it is unstable and dangerous for practical use for children (toddlers), elderly people and people with physical disabilities.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a footwear which is easy to wear, hard to remove, produces a rattling sound, and is safe and easy for anyone to use.

[0007]

The cause of the rattling sound of indoor shoes is caused by the heel of the footwear being separated from the heel of the foot, and the heel of the footwear is always in close contact with the heel of the foot. It is based on the idea that if it has a function that is difficult to separate as well as the hooking action of the toe, it can simultaneously eliminate the ease of taking off and the generation of rattling noise and provide a comfortable feeling with oneness with the foot .

[0008] Based on this idea, in the invention according to claim 1, in the footwear in which the toe-entering portion and the heel portion are constituted by separate and independent members, and both are connected at the center via an elastic member, The elastic member is bent in advance like a bow and provided on the lower surface of the footrest.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the first aspect, a configuration is adopted in which the heel portion of the flat footrest portion is covered.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the second aspect, even if the entire footrest is weighed, the weight is supported by the tip bottom member and the heel sole member of the footwear, and the center elastic member is used to support the weight. Adopts a structure in which no pressure is generated and the elastic force of the elastic member does not always act on the heel of the foot.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on embodiments with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a heel member 2 is connected to a tip member 1 via an elastic member 3.

When connecting the elastic member 3 between the tip bottom member 4 and the heel sole member 5, the elastic member 3 is previously bent in an arc shape as shown in FIG. The elastic member 3 is buried in the tip bottom member 4 and the heel sole member 5 formed of a rubber-based material so that both ends of the elastic member 3 are not displaced and do not protrude from the lower surface of the upper surface.

The top surfaces of the tip bottom member 4 and the heel bottom member 5 are flat.

The elastic member 3 is preferably made of a metal having a hinge effect or made of a synthetic resin. As shown in FIG. 1, the elastic member 3 must be curved in a bow shape, and the elastic member 3 must not protrude beyond the thickness of the tip bottom member 4 and the heel sole member 5.

When the footwear of the present invention is used, the elastic member 3 cannot be used in the state shown in FIG. 1 and if the elastic member 3 is pushed in the direction of the arrow (A) in FIG. A reaction force is generated at the boundary, and a state as shown in FIG. 2 is obtained.

With the above structure, as shown in FIG. 3A, the toe is inserted into the tip member 1 and the heel member 2 is applied with a light force.
3C, the elastic member 3 becomes a reaction force at a certain position in FIG. 3B and becomes a state shown in FIG. 3C. The elastic member 3 covers the heel portion of the foot in close contact with the foot. However, if you can walk safely and take off your footwear with confidence, the arrow (A) in FIG.
If you push the attachment / detachment member 6 in the direction of

In the above embodiment, the tip bottom member 4 and the heel sole member 5 are connected by the elastic member 3. However, the three members of the tip bottom member 4, the heel sole member 5, and the elastic member 3 are combined. It may be an integrally molded member of a resin material, or an insert molded member using an elastic member of metal.

[0018]

As described above, according to the footwear of the present invention, the elastic member is configured to generate a reaction force by stepping on the heel portion of the footwear with a light force. It is always in close contact with the foot without compromising ease of use, and can be easily removed and prevent rattling noise. Children (infants)
Alternatively, the footwear can be used easily, safely, and comfortably for people with physical disabilities.
