Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide shoes which prevent tongue flaps from getting into the shoes and provide a user with a good feel of wearing by sufficiently securing the insteps of the feet and making the shoes easily wearable. SOLUTION: The shoes which are provided with the tongues in the instep apertures of shoe uppers and secure the tongues by instep bands are constituted by connecting the tongue flaps and the instep bands by sewing on or by arbitrary connecting means, such as laces for threading of the instep bands so as to cause the simultaneous linkage of the tongues by opening and closing of the instep bands and diagonally bridging belt-like elastic bands, such as rubber webbing of fabrics to the instep apertures.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention mainly relates to a shoe which is tightened by means of an instep band so that the upper part of the foot can be sufficiently tightened and the shoe can be easily attached and detached to prevent the tongue from being caught in the shoe. It is intended to provide shoes that are comfortable to wear.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a method of using shoelaces, a rubber band, or an instep band with engaging metal fittings, eyelets, hooks or hook-and-loop fasteners has been used as a method for tightening the occupant part of a foot when wearing shoes. The method of tightening is adopted. In all of these tightening methods, the tightening is performed on the tongue provided inside the opening of the upper part of the shoe.

[0003]

The conventional method of tightening the sural region of the foot is to do it over the tongue. Children and schoolchildren often go out and in, and it is troublesome to loosen or tighten the occupant's legs every time they put on and take off their shoes. Therefore, when wearing the shoes, in many cases, the squeezing of the cervical part is loosened to some extent in advance so that the shoes can be easily attached and removed.

When wearing such shoes, it is often the case that all or part of the tongue is caught inside the shoe in order to forcibly put the foot in because the foot cannot be put in smoothly. Alternatively, the tongue pieces often shift left and right during walking and running. At that time, the wearer may feel a sense of discomfort, pressure, or even pain in the cervical region of the foot. Further, if the shoes are forced to be worn, the mouth opening and the toes are significantly damaged.

In order to prevent these drawbacks, a notch through hole is formed in the substantially central portion of the tongue, an instep band is passed through the through hole, or a folded portion is formed at the front end of the tongue. ,
The tongue pieces are prevented from slipping into the inside of the shoe or shifting from side to side by folding back to the front and covering the tightening part.

In the conventional method of tightening with an instep band through a surface fastener, the tongue is sewn to the instep cover at the lower end of the tongue and the upper end on one side of the tongue, both of which are Often all or part was caught inside the shoe. The present invention solves these drawbacks and provides a shoe in which it is not necessary to loosen the shoes in advance and the shoes can be easily attached and detached. The shoe of the present invention can be applied not only to a healthy person but also to a handicapped person, an elderly person or a patient undergoing rehabilitation.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the shoe of the present invention is provided with a tongue piece at the instep opening of the shoe upper and an instep band is provided on one side instep facing the instep opening. In a shoe in which a hook-and-loop fastener is sewn on the back side of the instep band, and a hook-and-loop fastener corresponding to the instep band is provided on the other side instep facing the instep opening, and the tongue and instep are tightened. The bands were connected by any connecting means such as sewing or a string for passing the instep band, and the band-shaped elastic band was bridged diagonally from the front of one side instep facing the instep opening to the other side instep. It is characterized by

In the shoe of the present invention, a tongue piece is provided in the instep opening of the shoe instep, and a plurality of pairs of eyelet holes are provided in front of the side insteps on both sides facing the instep opening. Insert elastic string,
An instep band is provided on one side instep facing the instep opening, and a surface fastener is sewn on the back side of the instep band, and a surface fastener corresponding to the instep band is attached to the other side instep facing the instep opening. In a shoe that is provided and tightened with an instep band, the tongue piece and the instep band are connected by any connecting means such as sewing or an instep band threading string, and one side instep cover facing the instep opening with an elastic string. The bridge is diagonally bridged from the front to the other side instep.

Further, in the shoe of the present invention, a tongue piece is provided in the instep opening of the shoe instep cover, and a plurality of pairs of eyelet holes are provided in front of the side instep covers which are opposed to both sides of the instep opening in the eyelet hole. Insert an elastic string, and provide an instep band on one side instep facing the instep opening,
In a shoe in which a hook-and-loop fastener is sewn on the back side of the instep band and a hook-and-loop fastener corresponding to the instep band is provided on the other side instep facing the instep opening, and the tongue and the instep band are sewn together. A free end by connecting with an arbitrary connecting means such as a cord or a string for passing an instep band, and extending the end portion of the surface fastener provided on the other side instep cover toward the instep opening, or It is characterized in that a band-shaped band having substantially the same hardness as that of the surface fastener is sewn on a lower surface of an end portion of the surface fastener provided on the other side instep to form a free end.

[0010]

In the present invention, since the instep band and the tongue are connected by any connecting means such as sewing or a string for passing the instep band, at the same time when the instep band is lifted, the tongue is lifted and the mouth opening is large. The opening makes it easy to put in and take out the foot. In addition, when the foot is put in, the tongue is prevented from being caught in the shoe. In addition, an elastic string that bridges the instep opening diagonally over the tongue may wrap all or part of the tongue inside the shoe, or the tongue may shift left or right when walking or running. Will be resolved.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the process of sewing a shoe upper (1) having an instep opening (4), a tongue piece (3) is placed on the shoe upper (1) so as to cover the upper opening (4) substantially. ) Sew on the back side,
A band-shaped stretchable band (5) was sewn diagonally from the front of one side instep facing the instep opening to the back of the other side instep. Next, a female hook-and-loop fastener (7) is sewn on the back surface of the instep band member to form an instep band (2), and one of the instep bands (2) facing each side of the instep opening (4) is formed. Sewn on the side instep. Then, male hook-and-loop fasteners (8) corresponding to the instep band (2) were sewn to the other side instep coverings on both sides of the instep opening (4). Further, a part of the upper end of the tongue and the instep band are sewn so that the tongues (3) are simultaneously operated by opening and closing the instep band (2) (10).
Alternatively, an instep band threading string (11) was sewn on the surface of the tongue, and the instep band was inserted through this to connect the instep band (2) and the tongue (3).
