Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device which is arranged at a front door or the like and can easily change the direction of the taken off footwear to the opposite direction. In order to change the direction of the item to a comfortable state for wearing immediately or when wearing it, it is not necessary to bother to bend the waist and hold it with the hand to replace it in the opposite direction. The present invention relates to a footwear direction changer that can be operated by various operations.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art If footwear used outdoors at home is taken off at the entrance, especially at an entrance with a raised frame, bend your hips in advance or at the time of going out to make it easier to wear conveniently when going out later. It is often necessary to hold and change the direction of footwear. However, such an operation near the rising frame of the entrance having a step is often dangerous not only for the elderly and persons with physical disabilities but also for persons with normal physical conditions, and it is troublesome and not preferable. In such a case, if you can change the direction of the detached footwear to the opposite direction by standing up without bending your waist and by simple operation, that is, if you can change it by rotating about 180 degrees, the above problem will occur. The dots can be settled. In today's demand for barrier-free houses, it is very significant to meet the above requirements in order to overcome one of the structural barriers of Japanese entrances.

Various types of footwear direction changers have been disclosed which are used at entrances and the like, and which change the direction of taken off footwear. An example of a footwear deflector which has been disclosed and has the above-mentioned function is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-187156.
JP-A-4-38909, JP-A-1-89925,
JP-A-1-221112, JP-A-58-138401
The items described in each publication such as the issue can be mentioned. However, the footwear direction changers described in these publications rotate a rotating plate on which the footwear is placed, either electrically or mechanically, and try to rotate the footwear with a machine installed at the entrance or the like. Not only in the case of one pair, but also in the case of a plurality of pairs, not only the apparatus becomes complicated but also relying on machinery is dangerous and it is not preferable.

The present applicant has previously considered a problem in using such conventional machinery and has solved the problem by means not using a machine, and in particular, provides a footwear direction changer which can be preferably used by elderly people and people with disabilities. Proposed (Patent No. 3105214). The footwear deflector disclosed herein comprises a bottom plate placed on a floor surface, a rotating plate disposed on the upper surface, and a handle extending vertically connected to an end of the rotating plate. , The rotary plate is slidably rotatable on the upper surface of the bottom plate through a sliding member, and the rotary plate on which the footwear is placed is manually rotated by holding a handle connected and fixed to the rotary plate. The plate has a structure in which frictional resistance is increased and does not rotate when a person rides on the plate. This turning device is safe because it does not operate machinery and does not rotate due to the weight of a person until a person rides on the rotating plate and takes off his / her footwear and moves to the front door. After the body is moved, it is not necessary to sit down to change the direction of the footwear due to the rotation of the rotating plate performed by gripping the connected and fixed handles.

However, particularly in the case of elderly people and persons with physical disabilities, the upper end of the handle connected to the rotary plate or the grip portion provided on the upper end is firmly held to stabilize the body, and Similarly, there is a case where the body leans against the handle for stabilizing the body. In the above patented invention, a sturdy plate-shaped body as a handle or an inverted U-shaped molding of a metal pipe or a plastic pipe having high rigidity and high toughness is used. It illustrates the body. By the way, since the handle is fixed to the rotating plate, when the rotating plate is rotated 180 degrees to change the direction of the footwear, it is necessary to simultaneously rotate the handle itself such as a plate-shaped object by 180 degrees. It is necessary to rotate while holding the upper end portion or the grip portion such as a plate-like body firmly. However, 180 degrees rotation of a plate-like body in such a gripped state requires twisting of the body, especially the tip of the hand. There is a need to. Furthermore, when gripping and rotating the grip, it is more natural for the human body to grip in the downward or lateral direction than to grip with the back of the hand facing upwards.
It is preferable to provide a grip part that can take these various gripping states. Therefore, when rotating the rotating plate, it is difficult to hold the back of the hand without changing the direction of the grasped hand and the back of the hand is directed downward or laterally, or the human body when re-grip is required during the rotation. It is a very important issue to provide a means to eliminate the insecurity of standing posture.

[0006]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present inventor aims to provide a direction changer for footwear which is convenient not only for the elderly and persons with disabilities but also for healthy persons. The back of the hand can be selected in each of the upper, lower and horizontal directions, and there is no need to bend the wrist by 180 degrees.
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a footwear direction changer having a handle (grip) that does not need to be re-griped during a rotating operation.

[0007]

As a result of earnest research to solve the above problems, the present inventor has rotatably attached a rotating plate rotating handle to the upper end of a rotating plate rotating shaft fixed to the rotating plate. Alternatively, the present invention has been completed based on the finding that the problem can be solved by rotatably attaching a rotating plate rotating shaft having a rotating handle to the rotating plate.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The contents of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings as an embodiment. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view of a footwear deflector 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is placed on a horizontal floor surface L. The bottom plate 2 placed on the horizontal floor L is selected from heavy and hard metal materials such as metal plates such as iron and stainless steel, and is formed as thin as possible, and is larger than the size of the rotating plate 4. Is preferred. This is because the bottom part of the body is made heavy, and the thickness of the bottom of the body is made thin to reduce the step difference from the floor surface L, so that the center of gravity of the entire direction changer 1 of the footwear is made as low as possible. This is because the direction changer 1 can maintain a stable standing posture. The shape and dimensions of the bottom plate 2 are not particularly limited. For example, in the case of a quadrangle, one side thereof, and in the case of a circle, a quadrilateral or circular rotary plate 4 having a diameter smaller than that is used. The rotation moment for a fall becomes large,
Therefore, a fall prevention effect can be expected. In FIG. 1, a circular bottom plate 2 is used for a quadrilateral rotary plate 4,
This is a mode in which the bottom plate 2 having a diameter larger than one side of the quadrilateral rotary plate 4 is used. The shapes of the bottom plate 2 and the rotary plate 4 are circular and quadrilateral, but the shapes are not limited to these.
The elliptical, hexagonal, octagonal, etc. can also be used, but in the case of an elliptical shape, the major dimension, and in the case of a hexagonal or octagonal polygon, the above-mentioned dimensional relationship exists between the maximum diagonal lengths. It is more preferable if it is satisfied.

Further, in order to eliminate the instability of the bottom plate 2 sliding on the floor surface L, a rubber having a large friction coefficient with respect to the floor surface L and a good adhesion to the entire lower surface or a part of the bottom plate 2. It is also a preferred embodiment to attach a sheet-like elastic sheet or a soft plastic sheet. By sticking such a sheet or the like, it is possible to prevent damage to the tile or the like on the floor surface L due to the hard bottom plate 2.

The rotary plate 4 is installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 2 as will be described in detail later, and the central shaft 3 is in a position not visible in FIG.
Is used as a rotation axis and is rotatably arranged with respect to the bottom plate 2. The preferable relationship between the shape and size of the rotating plate 4 and the shape and size of the bottom plate 2 is as described above, but it goes without saying that the shape and size that a person can easily put on and take off the footwear, A shape and a size (width) that prevent the plate 4 from slipping off are required, and the size is not particularly limited, but in the case of a square, one side is usually preferably about 20 to 40 cm. In order to show an example of the footwear placed on the rotary plate 4, the position of the footwear of the rotary plate 4 is indicated by a broken line S and the direction of the footwear is indicated by an arrow T in FIG.

The material of the rotating plate 4 is not particularly limited, but unlike the bottom plate 2, a lightweight material is preferable because it requires rotatability. In addition, it is easy for the body to stand up when a person rides and takes off or puts on the shoes, so it is preferable that the back of the footwear has a non-slip surface. Considering the processability of various surface shapes, such as the addition of varnish and the processing such as surface coating, the wooden one is particularly preferable. It is also preferable that an elastic mat for slip prevention is laid. Further, since the entire back surface of the rotary plate 4 is not supported by the bottom plate, desired compression and bending strengths are required so as not to be destroyed when a human body gets on it.

Although the lower surface of the rotating plate 4 is not visible in FIG. 1, a sliding member, which will be described later, is provided to control the slidability between the rotating plate 4 and the bottom plate 2, and the footwear according to the present invention. It plays an important role as a redirector.

At the end of the rotary plate 4, a rotary plate rotating shaft 5 vertically extending upward with a desired length is installed, and its top 5c.
A handle 6 for rotating the rotating plate 4 is installed in the. The lower end 5d of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 illustrated in FIG. 1 is inserted into a roller bearing 5a embedded in the rotary plate 4 and has a rotatable property. Is not limited to a roller bearing as long as it keeps the rotation axis constant with respect to the rotary plate 4 and is rotatable. In FIG. 1, a ring-shaped member denoted by 5b is an upper cover of the roller bearing, and shows an example of a member for preventing the roller bearing from being soiled by dust or the like adhering to the footwear.

A horizontal rod-shaped handle 6 is installed on the crown 5c of the rotating plate rotating shaft 5, and the rotating plate rotating shaft 5 is set at 180 degrees as described below without changing the gripped state of the handle. By moving the handle in parallel while drawing an arc, the rotary plate 4 is rotated 180 degrees, and the direction T of the footwear S on which it is placed is changed by 180 degrees. Thus, by using the footwear direction changer 1 according to the present invention, the handle 6 can be gripped in any direction (back of hand, up or down or sideways), and the handle 6 can be rotated during rotation. There is no need to change grips, just handle 6
The direction of the footwear can be easily changed by 180 degrees simply by moving in parallel (that is, the direction is constant).

In FIG. 1, a handle 6 is provided with a rotating plate rotating shaft 5.
It shows the case where the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 is rotatably installed with respect to the rotary plate 4 by simply moving the handle 6 in parallel with the handle 6 in the initial state. It was shown that the direction of the footwear, which is the intended purpose, can be changed, but this purpose is fixed and installed without giving the rotatability of the rotating plate rotating shaft 5 to the rotating plate 4, This can also be achieved by rotatably attaching the handle 6 to the rotary plate rotating shaft 5. Further, the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 can be attached to the rotary plate 4 and the handle 6 can be attached to the shaft 5 at the same time so as to be rotatable. Various other embodiments will be sequentially described below.

As shown in FIG. 1, when attaching the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 to the rotary plate 4, the lower end 5d and the roller bearing 5a are combined, and the handle 6 is fixed to the rotary plate rotating shaft 5. Both the handle 6 and the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 may be made of pipe or rod. In addition, the rotating plate rotating shaft 5 and the handle 6 are required to have a function such as a safety cane that can balance the body when a person leans on the body and bears a weight load, and when wearing and removing footwear. In some cases, the rotation plate 4 and the rotation plate rotation shaft 5 or the rotation plate rotation shaft 5 and the handle 6 need to be freely rotatable. The plastics (including FRP) of 1 are preferable. As will be described later, the shape of the handle 6, the mounting angle, etc. are not particularly limited, and the handle 6 rises to the entrance and the rotating plate 4
The shape is not limited to the rod shape illustrated above as long as the shape can be easily gripped when rotating (the angle including the angle with respect to the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 is also considered), and it can be attached horizontally, vertically or at any other angle. It may have any shape such as a ring shape or a curved shape.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. 1, in which a circular rotary plate 4 having one side smaller than the diameter of the bottom plate 2 is installed on the circular bottom plate 2 and further at its end. There is a handle 6 fixedly attached to the crown 5c of a rotary plate rotating shaft 5 rotatably installed via a roller bearing 5a (invisible in FIG. 2 by a cover 5b of the roller bearing).

FIG. 3 corresponds to an enlarged partial cutaway view of the cut end view taken along the line X--X of FIG. 2, but instead of the roller bearing 5a of FIG. 2, the upper part is opened. In the embodiment in which the tubular receiving member 8 is installed on the bottom plate 2, the lower end 5d of the rotating plate rotating shaft 5 is inserted into and fitted into the receiving member 8 so that the rotating plate rotating shaft 5 is rotatable with respect to the bottom plate 2. is there. The term "internal fitting" as used herein refers to the receiving member and the lower end 5 of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5.
The size of the gap between them is not particularly limited, as long as the rotation between them is freely fitted and the fitting is such that the upright stability of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 is not impaired. In order to improve the rotatability of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5, it is preferable that the lower end 5d has a conical tip as shown in FIG.

The rotating plate 4 can be rotated freely by using the central shaft 3 integrally provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate 2 at a position where the center of the rotating plate 4 comes, as a rotating shaft. The method of imparting the rotatability is not particularly limited, but the rotating plate 4
The combination shown in FIGS. 3 to 7 in which the central shaft 3 is fitted to the roller bearing 3a mounted on the lower surface of the is typical.

The rotary plate 4 can rotate while sliding on the bottom plate 2 via the sliding member 7. In FIG. 3, the sliding member 7 is fixed to the lower surface of the rotary plate 4. There is.
The sliding member 7 contacts the upper surface of the bottom plate 2, rotates and moves while sliding on the upper surface of the bottom plate 2, and assists the rotatability of the rotary plate 4 about the central axis 3. A preferable example of the sliding member 7 is a lower plate of the rotary plate 4, which is formed in a convex shape protruding downward, and when the bottom plate 2 does not receive a load,
In order to improve the rotatability, the contact area with the bottom plate 2 is made as small as possible so as to be close to point contact, and the surface contact between them is prevented. Further, although a plurality of protrusions are shown, this prevents wide surface contact and facilitates sliding.

The sliding member 7 is most preferably a set screw having a hemispherical curved surface at the screw head. Set screw is rotating plate 4
This is because the wooden board which is preferable as the above can be easily fixed to the lower surface of the rotary plate 4. Another preferable sliding member 7 is a tack having a hemispherical convex portion. Sliding member 7
The number of is not particularly limited, and it is preferable that the desired number of the numbers are arranged on the lower surface of the rotating plate 4 substantially uniformly at desired intervals. This is because the rotary plate 4 is kept in parallel with the bottom plate 2 and smoothly slidably rotated.

The selection of the material, shape, number, interval, etc. of the sliding members 7 is such that the coefficient of friction with the bottom plate 2 is desired when no person is on the rotating plate 4 and when it is on the rotating plate 4. It is adjusted so that it fits within the range, that is, it is rotatable when not riding and does not rotate when riding. In the case of the set screw or the tack, a contact state close to point contact can be obtained when the rotary plate 4 is not loaded by a person and no load is applied, but even when the person rides on the bottom plate 2 which is hard, a sliding member can be obtained. The tip of the bite slightly digs into the bottom plate 2, the contact area increases, the friction coefficient increases, the rotatable performance of the rotary plate 4 is impaired, and the intended purpose is achieved.

FIG. 4 corresponds to an enlarged partial cutaway view of the sectional end view taken along the line X--X of FIG. 2, but the inside of the lower end 5d of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 of FIG. Fitted receiver 8
Instead, a tubular or rod-shaped receiving member 8 is installed on the bottom plate 2, and the lower end 5d of the tubular rotating plate rotating shaft 5 is placed over the receiving member 8 and externally fitted, and the rotating plate rotating shaft 5 rotates with respect to the bottom plate 2. This is an embodiment with flexibility. The degree of fitting of the outer fitting referred to here is the same as the inner fitting described in FIG.
There is no particular limitation on the closeness between the two as long as the fitting is such that the upright stability is not impaired. As the external fitting structure, a receiving member 8 having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the lower end 5d of the tubular rotary plate rotating shaft 5 is used.
Alternatively, a tubular body having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the receiving member 8 having a desired outer diameter may be replaced by the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 of the tubular body or the rod body.
It is typical to use a fixed one as the lower end 5d. In addition, as the sliding member, the same member as in the case of FIG. 3 is preferably used.

5 is different from the structure in which the lower end 5d of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 is made rotatable as in the case of FIGS. 3 and 4, the handle 6 at the crown 5c of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 is different.
FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which a structure in which both are slidable and rotatable is adopted as the mounting structure of FIG. 2, and an enlarged partial cutaway view of the end view taken along the line XX in FIG. 2 is shown. It is equivalent. As the mounting structure of the rotary plate 4 to the bottom plate 2, the same structure as that of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 using the central shaft 3 and the roller bearing 3a is illustrated, and the same aspect can be applied to the mounting of the sliding member on the lower surface of the bottom plate 2. Is illustrated. In order to attach the lower end 5d of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 to the rotary plate 4, it is not always necessary to impart rotatability as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, and bolts 11 and nuts 12 as illustrated in the drawings are used. And may be fixed.

On the crown 5c of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5, there is a handle mounting portion 9 to which a handle 6 is fixed, and the inner diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5. The tubular outer fitting tube body 10 having the above is fitted. In this case, in order to adjust the degree of insertion of the rotating plate rotating shaft 5 of the outer fitting tube 10 into the crown 5c, a tube receiver 5e for the outer fitting tube 10 may be provided at a location close to the crown 5c. This is the preferred embodiment. With this structure, the handle 6
Once gripped, the rotary plate 4 can be rotated via the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 without changing the grip state.

FIG. 6 is replaced with the structure shown in FIG. 5 in which the external fitting tube 10 forming the end of the upright handle mounting portion 9 is externally fitted to the crown 5c of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5.
An inner fitting tube or rod 10 having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the crown 5c of the tubular rotary plate rotating shaft 5 provided at the end of the handle mounting portion 9 was fitted into the crown 5c. 3 is a view showing a mode, and corresponds to an enlarged partial cutaway view of an end view taken along the line X-X in FIG. 2. It should be noted that the connecting and fixing means for the rotary plate 4 and the bottom plate 2 may be the same as in the case of FIG. 5, but other connecting means are not excluded.

FIG. 7 is an enlarged partial cutaway view of the end view taken along the line XX of FIG. 2, in which the roller bearing 5a having the roller bearing cover 5b is embedded in the end of the rotary plate 4, The lower end 5d of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5
The structure which inserted and fixed is shown. The handle 6 is fixed to the crown 5c of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5, and the connecting means between the bottom plate 2 and the rotary plate 4 is the one illustrated in FIGS.

FIG. 8 shows a handle 6 in which the lower end of the upright handle mounting portion 9 shown in FIG. 6 is a pipe or rod 10 for internal fitting, and the curved handle 6 has a good grip feeling. 3 shows a mode in which the handle mounting portion 9 is provided in a closed ring in the same plane. The handle 6 having the structure shown in FIG. 6 is convenient when the handle 6 is to be gripped horizontally (the back of the hand is directed upward or downward), whereas the handle 6 having the structure shown in FIG. This is convenient when trying to grasp the vertical position (the back of the hand is lateral), the former is a relatively tall person, or the rotating plate rotation shaft 5
Is particularly suitable for a relatively short length, and the latter is particularly suitable for a relatively short person, or when the rotating plate rotating shaft 5 is relatively long.

FIG. 9 corresponds to an enlarged partial cutaway view of the YY line direction arrow end view of FIG. 2 in which the shape of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 is improved. To do.
While the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 7 is one in which the lower end portion of one long tube or rod is directly attached to the rotary plate 4 as it is, In FIG. 9, the lower end 5d of the rotating plate rotating shaft 5 has a bifurcated structure, and while the rotating plate rotating shaft 5 is kept upright, both ends of the bifurcated part are fixed to the rotating plate 4 with, for example, bolts 11 and nuts 12. It shows an embodiment. If the rotating plate rotating shaft 5 of this aspect is fixed, even if the rotating plate rotating shaft 5 has a load such as leaning against the human body, the stress is dispersed to the rotating plate 4 and the rotating plate 4 is rotated. This has the effect of reducing the risk of breaking the connecting portion with the plate rotating shaft 5.

FIGS. 10 to 12 show an operation of rotating the footwear on the rotary plate 4 by 180 degrees using the footwear deflector according to the present invention and the rotating process. FIG. 10 shows a state in which the footwear S is placed on the rotary plate 4 with the direction T thereof being the same direction as the handle 6. The operation is performed by first grasping the handle 6 and without changing the direction of the handle (vertical direction in FIG. 10), and by rotating the rotary plate 4 on the rotary plate 4 along the semicircle whose moving direction is indicated by the arrow. By moving the handle 6 in parallel to move it, first, as shown in FIG. 11, a state where the position of the rotary plate rotating shaft 5 is rotated by 90 degrees is obtained. Then, by continuing the same operation,
