Description

  The present invention relates to a deodorant shoe capable of preventing an unpleasant odor of the shoe by a deodorizing function such as deodorizing, deodorizing, and masking.

  In general, shoes covered with toes and insteps are covered with shoes for a long time. Since it is likely to occur, various ideas have been made to prevent this.

  For example, as a shoe structure with a deodorizing function, a balloon-like ventilation device (pump) is provided between the insole and the bottom of the foot so that the sole moves in and out of the shoe. There is known a technique that uses a ventilator to activate a ventilator to cause an air flow in shoes to ventilate (Patent Document 1).

  As another form of the shoe ventilation device, there is known a device that sends a ventilation flow to the front of the shoe with a pump-type container that is formed inside the heel bottom of the shoe and elastically deformed by a compression spring or the like. (Patent Document 2). In addition, there is an example in which a perfume container containing a chemical substance that removes malodor is adopted as such a pump-type container.

  However, in the conventional ventilator in shoes described above, air sent from a balloon-type ventilator or a pump-type container that is elastically deformed by a compression spring passes through a narrow channel such as a front groove or a pipe in the shoe. The pipes may become clogged with fiber scraps, etc. due to long-term use, and the structure and arrangement of the grooves and pipes are complicated, so repair and replacement of these ventilation devices, especially pump type There is a problem that the user cannot easily perform repairs such as replacement of a fragrance or a deodorizing agent integrated with the container.

  Therefore, the problem of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, exchanging consumables such as fragrances and deodorants, etc. while having good ventilation efficiency in shoes, excellent durability, and easy repair. It is easy to maintain and easy to use for consumers with excellent deodorant shoes.

  In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, a recess capable of accommodating a deodorant is formed in the inner bottom of the shoe, and a lid with a vent hole covering the upper surface opening of the recess containing the deodorant is provided, This lid is a deodorant shoe made of a dome-shaped material that can be elastically deformed by treading pressure.

  The deodorant shoe according to the present invention configured as described above has a foot pressure by pressing the lid with a vent hole that covers the upper surface opening of the depression directly or through the insole of the user wearing the shoe. The dome-shaped material is elastically deformed so that it is flat. At this time, the air containing the deodorant component in the depression or in contact with the deodorant is pressurized and released into the shoe through the vent hole. Is done.

  Next, when the user raises the heel of the shoe or puts the foot pressure on the dome-shaped material in an appropriate posture, the lid returns to the original dome shape that is elastic and bulges upward. Air is sucked into the recess from the vent hole, and air containing a deodorizing component is stored in the recess.

  By repeating the above process, the air in the shoe is subjected to a deodorizing action such as deodorization, deodorization, masking and the like by the deodorant, so that an unpleasant odor of the shoe can be prevented.

  In such a deodorant shoe, it is preferable to fix the deodorizer by pressing it against the bottom of the recess with an inner lid made of a breathable elastic material. In this way, the inner lid made of breathable elastic material is fixed so that the deodorant does not move to the bottom of the recess, and the deodorant does not always move in the recess when walking with this shoe, Do not make the user feel uncomfortable noise or vibration.

  Further, the size of the deodorant may be reduced over time depending on its use, but the inner lid made of an elastic material is pressed into the recess with an elastic force in accordance with the reduction of the deodorant and is securely fixed. Furthermore, when the lid with a vent hole is pressed by the stepping pressure, the impact of the stepping pressure applied to the deodorant suddenly is weakened by the elastic inner lid, so the contact with the sole is softened and the comfort is improved.

  For the lid with a vent hole used in the present invention, it is preferable to adopt a dome-shaped lid made of soft synthetic resin in order to reduce the weight of the shoe and improve the use durability.

  As described above, the present invention forms a recess capable of accommodating a deodorant on the inner bottom of a shoe, and forms a vent hole made of a dome-shaped material capable of elastically deforming the upper surface opening of the recess containing the deodorant by stepping pressure. Deodorant shoes covered with a lid, so the shoes have good ventilation efficiency, excellent durability, easy repair, and easy maintenance for replacement of consumables such as fragrances and deodorants. It has the advantage of being easy to use for consumers and an excellent deodorant shoe.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the embodiment, a dent 2 that can contain a deodorant 1 is formed in an inner bottom 3 of a shoe, and the deodorant 1 is covered with an inner lid 4 made of a breathable elastic material. An upper lid 6 with a vent hole 5 covering the upper surface opening of the depression 2 is provided, and the upper lid 6 is a dome shape made of a soft synthetic resin plate provided with a dome-shaped curved portion 6a that can be elastically deformed by stepping pressure. It is a deodorant shoe formed of a material and provided with an insole 8 having a vent hole 7 thereon.

  The deodorant 1 used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and various deodorants that can prevent unpleasant odors of shoes by deodorizing functions such as deodorization, deodorization, and masking can be employed. .

  For example, as a suitable deodorant, a commercially available deodorant utilizing the chemical reaction of neutralization or oxidation or reduction of fatty acid type or other malodorous components coming out of sweat or feet can be used. As a masking agent that adsorbs malodorous components by the porous material, or decomposes by microorganisms, and a masking agent, commercially available fragrances that emit various fragrances may be used.

  The form of these drugs may be any of solid, liquid and semi-solid, and these can be used in a well-known air-permeable container having good contact efficiency with air.

  The depression 2 for storing the deodorant 1 may be formed in an appropriate arrangement on the inner bottom 3 of the shoe. In particular, in order to form a depression having a sufficiently large capacity, there is a heel bottom 9 as shown in the figure. It is preferable to form the portion.

  Such a depression 2 may not be limited in particular in shape or volume, but for example, the illustrated oblong shape, rectangular cutout, circular hole, etc. do not impair the comfort of the shoe. Design within a range. In order to form the depression 2, the heel bottom 9 can be molded as having such a hole, or the heel bottom 9 and the inner bottom 3 can be formed by cutting after molding.

  The deodorant 1 is detachably locked and fixed to the bottom or side wall of the recess 2 by pressing the deodorizer 1 with an inner lid 4 made of a breathable elastic material. It is preferable to use a relatively soft and elastic synthetic resin or rubber, for example, a relatively soft synthetic resin or rubber such as vinyl chloride, polyethylene, vinyl acetate resin, silicone, polyurethane, or a copolymer thereof. It is possible to employ other resin or rubber that has been removed.

  Further, the inner lid 4 is formed to have a required thickness of about 1 to 10 mm, preferably about 3 to 7 mm so that the above-mentioned elastic material can sufficiently exert a buffering property against the treading pressure. In order to securely fix the deodorant 1, it is preferable that the shape of the deodorizer 1 is fixed. Further, the required air permeability of the inner lid 4 can be ensured by the plurality of holes 10 penetrating the inner lid 4.

  The upper lid 6 with a vent hole covering the upper surface opening of the recess 2 is formed of a dome-shaped material made of a soft synthetic resin that can be elastically deformed by a stepping pressure. Such an upper lid 6 may be a lid having a multilayer structure of two or more layers integrated with the above-described inner lid 4, or may be provided by a homogeneous molded porous elastic material or a hollow molded body in which vent holes are formed. .

  The illustrated upper lid 6 is composed of an oval dome-shaped curved portion 6a in which a plurality of vent holes 5 are formed, and an edge 6b having a substantially constant width provided continuously around the periphery, The dome-shaped curved portion 6a is projected upward, and an adhesive such as an adhesive or a double-sided adhesive tape 11 is provided around the opening of the recess 2 to bond and fix the edge 6b (including the case of adhesion). Alternatively, it can be attached by a known locking means such as a fitting structure (not shown) with the inner bottom 2.

  The dome-shaped curved portion 6a may be formed in a dome shape that is curved so as to swell at least as thick as the inner lid 4 can be accommodated as compared with the edge portion 6b, taking into consideration the ventilation efficiency and comfort in the shoe. Therefore, it is preferable to form a dome shape slightly inflated as necessary.

  On the parts described above, the insole 8 in which the vent holes 7 are formed at the positions corresponding to the plurality of vent holes 5 of the upper lid 6 is laid to complete the manufacture of the deodorant shoes. The insole 8 can also be provided as appropriate. An opening may be formed in the insole 8 so that the dome-shaped curved portion 6a of the upper lid 6 is exposed, or the insole 8 may be omitted. Good.

  In the deodorant shoe of the embodiment, the sole of the user who wears the shoe presses the upper lid 6 with the vent hole 5 through the insole 8 so that the dome-shaped curved portion 6a of the upper lid 6 is flattened by stepping pressure. At this time, the air containing the deodorizing component in the depression 2 is pressurized and discharged from the hole 10 of the inner lid 4 and the vent hole 5 of the upper lid 6 into the shoe.

Next, when the user lifts the shoe's heel and puts the dome-shaped curved portion 6a in a state where no treading pressure is applied, the upper lid 6 returns to the original dome shape that is elastic and bulges upward, and the air in the shoe flows from the vent hole 5. Air that is sucked into the recess 2 and contains a deodorizing component is stored in the recess 2.
When a user wears shoes, the above process is repeated with normal natural actions, so the air in the shoes is affected by the deodorant and does not emit unpleasant odors. .
