Description

  The present invention relates to a boot stand that supports a pair of boots so as not to be deformed, and more particularly, to an improved boot stand that allows a pair of boots to be compact without taking up space.

  In recent years, boots that cover the calf of the foot have become popular. These boots are popular with women, especially young women, because their feet are warm on cold days, and when worn they fit into the legs, make the legs look thin and long, and become fashionable.

  However, such a boot having a cylindrical portion corresponding to the calf portion has a problem that after the sewing, the cylindrical portion is long, so that it can be bent from the middle or easily fall down. In particular, if the tube portion is bent, the shape is lost, which is not preferable.

  Therefore, a boot keeper made of resin or wood having a shape corresponding to the cylindrical portion is fitted into the cylindrical portion so that the cylindrical portion of the boot does not break, and the shape of the cylindrical portion is maintained. And in the period when long boots are not used, such as summer, a pair of long boots are stored with the opening edge portions of the left and right tube portions sandwiched between clips.

  An example of such a boot stand that does not lose its shape even during long-term storage will be described with reference to FIG.

  A boot stand 400 shown by a solid line in FIG. 15 includes a split pin-shaped holding metal fitting 402 having elasticity, and a pair of left and right boot keepers 404 and 404 attached to the lower part of the holding metal fitting 402.

  The holding metal fitting 402 is integrally formed with a pair of elastic pieces 406 and 406 and a ring-shaped latching portion 408 formed at the upper end thereof. A stopper 410 is secured to the upper part of the pair of elastic pieces 406 and 406 so that the upper side of the pair of elastic pieces 406 and 406 is not opened. That is, the lower elastic pieces 406 and 406 are elastically opened from the stopper 410, but the upper side is not opened.

  Each of the pair of boot keepers 404 and 404 is fixed to each of the pair of elastic pieces 406 and 406. Each boot keeper 404 has a tubular shape, and the tubular width thereof can be adjusted according to the width of the tubular portion 422 of the boot 420. The boot keeper 404 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 422 of the boot 420 to prevent the boot 420 from being deformed.

  In order to use such a boot stand 400, first, each of the boot keepers 404 and 404 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 422 from the opening 424 of the cylindrical portion 422 of each boot 420. At this time, the pair of elastic pieces 406, 406 are opened by hand to the left and right as indicated by arrows. The pair of elastic pieces 406 and 406 sandwich the pair of boots 420 by releasing their hands. The boot 420 is stored in this state. You may make it store by hooking the latching | locking part 408 on the hook provided in the wall or the shoe rack.

  However, the boot stand 400 is preferable in that the boot 420 does not lose its shape, but has the following problems.

  First, since the pair of left and right boots 420 are simply sandwiched in the width direction, a large storage space is required, and there is a problem particularly in storing in a shoe rack.

  Second, since the cylindrical portions 422 of the boot 420 are closely attached to each other with the elastic pieces 406 and 406, molds are generated in the closely attached portions when stored for a long period of time such as in off season. easy.

  Therefore, the applicant of the present application disclosed in Patent Document 1 a boot stand that does not take up space in the width direction, is less prone to mold even if stored for a long period of time, and can be stored or arranged so that the boot does not lose its shape. Proposed.

  This boot stand includes a pair of cylindrical boot keepers, and a toe holder provided swingably on the upper part of each boot keeper. The boot keeper is inserted into the tubular portion of the boot, and the toe portion is housed and held in the toe holder. By combining a pair of boots in a staggered manner, it fits within the width of one boot and fits roughly within the length of the pair of boots combined in the size direction of the foot and is extra space for storage in a shoe rack Is not necessary.

  However, since the boot stand is composed of a boot keeper and a toe holder, there are inconveniences such as troublesome manufacture and cost. Furthermore, it is necessary to insert the toe portion of the boot into the toe holder and hold it with a hook-and-loop fastener or the like so that the toe portion does not come off. Furthermore, the boot stand is composed of a pair of left and right boot stands, and each boot stand is composed of two parts of the boot keeper and the toe holder as described above, and the overall appearance is not necessarily excellent. It was hard to say.

JP 2002-153370 A

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a boot stand that is easy to manufacture, is inexpensive, and has an excellent appearance.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention comprises a substrate and a stand body that is erected on the substrate and supports a pair of boots that are alternately combined up and down, and the stand body includes the substrate. A first support piece that extends upward from the vicinity of the first side that is one side of the pair of boots and supports one of the boots upside down, and the first support piece A second supporting piece for supporting the other boot of the one pair of boots, spaced downwardly in the second side direction of the substrate and extending downward, A link portion that integrally connects the base end portion and the upper end portion of the second support piece, and an integral from the upper end portion of the second support piece via the extension portion toward the first support piece A boot stand comprising:

  Thus, since the boot stand of this invention is a structure which consists of a board | substrate and a stand main body fundamentally, it can be manufactured at low cost. Further, since each boot is simply inserted into each support piece, it can be easily stored.

  The substrate and the stand main body are preferably made of a synthetic resin material and are integrated. Can be integrally molded with a mold.

  If the upper end of the first support piece is provided with at least one of an antibacterial agent and a deodorant, it prevents mold from forming on the arch portion of one boot that contacts the upper end. This is preferable.

  The first support piece is preferably provided with anti-slip means at its upper end so that one boot does not slip with respect to the first support piece.

  If the stand main body is provided with at least one elastic holding member attached to each support piece, the shape of each boot is prevented from being deformed, and each boot is reliably supported by the first and second support pieces. I like it.

  The first support piece and the second support piece preferably have a neck portion formed so as to be locked so that the elastic holding member does not shift.

  The link portion includes a first connection portion that is inclined from the base end portion of the first support piece toward a second side direction, which is the other side of the substrate, and upward. A long portion extending upward from the distal end of the connection portion, and a second connection extending from the upper end portion of the long portion toward the second side direction substantially parallel to the first connection portion Part. Accordingly, the first support piece and the second support piece are arranged separately from each other with the link portion interposed therebetween.

  If the long portion is inclined in the direction of the first support piece toward the top, when the boots are locked to the support pieces, they correspond to the shins of the inclined boots. preferable.

  The inclined first connection portion and the substrate form a first foot pocket for positioning the toe portion of the other boot, and the inclined second connection portion and the handle, Thus, a second foot pocket is formed for positioning the toe portion of one boot. Therefore, when a pair of boots are combined in a staggered manner and supported on each support piece, the pair of boots fits compactly as a whole.

  If the second side of the substrate for supporting the collar portion of the other boot is on a line extending downward from the lower end portion of the second support piece, the other boot is supported in a stable state. The

  The second support piece is shorter than the length of the first support piece, and if the distance between the lower end of the second support piece and the substrate is widened, the other boot is Since it is easy when it supports to a 2nd support piece, it is preferable.

  If the substrate is shortened so that the second side of the substrate is not on the line extending downward from the lower end portion of the second support piece, the other boot can be smoothly supported by the second support piece. Since it can be performed, it is preferable.

  In order to increase the strength of the first support piece, the second support piece, and the handle, these cross sections are formed in a triangular shape. In order to increase the strength of the first support piece, the second support piece, the link portion, and the handle, these cross sections are formed in a cross shape. Accordingly, even if the handle is held and carried, the weight of a pair of boots can be sufficiently withstood.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on some preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, and Modifications can be made as appropriate within the technical scope described in the above.

  1 and 2 show a boot stand 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The boot stand 10 includes a substrate 20 and a stand body 30. The boot stand 10 of the present embodiment is manufactured from a metal made of wood, synthetic resin material, stainless steel or the like. When manufacturing with wood, the board | substrate 20 and the stand main body 30 are manufactured separately, and these are couple | bonded by the at least 1 wood screw. When manufactured with a synthetic resin material, the substrate 20 and the stand main body 30 can be integrally formed with a mold (not shown), making the manufacturing easy, providing an inexpensive boot stand 10, and being light in weight for carrying. Convenient and preferred. If it is made of a metal such as stainless steel, it is heavy and inconvenient to carry, but it has a high-class design and has a high decorative effect when displaying boots at a store and when it is placed at the entrance.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the substrate 20 extends in one direction, and a substantially middle portion in the longitudinal direction is larger than other width dimensions in the width direction orthogonal to the one direction. That is, the substrate 20 has a rhombus shape in plan view. Thus, the boot stand 10 is stabilized by increasing the width dimension of the intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the substrate 20.

  The stand body 30 includes a plate-like first support piece 31 erected so as to extend upward from the upper surface of one side (first side) 20 a in the longitudinal direction of the substrate 20. The plate width of the first support piece 31 is gradually narrowed from the base end portion 32 that is the lower end portion toward the upper end portion 33. As shown in FIG. 2, the first support piece 31 supports one boot 51 of one pair of boots 50 upside down. The opening 51 b of the cylindrical portion 51 a corresponding to the shin of one boot 51 is positioned at the upper end portion 33 of the first support piece 31, and the one boot 51 is lowered downward along the first support piece 31. The upper end 33 abuts against the arch 51 c of one boot 51, so that the one boot 51 is supported by the first support piece 31.

  The upper end 33 preferably has an antibacterial agent and / or a deodorant because it contacts the arch 51c of one boot 51. Further, since the arch 51c is inclined, it is preferable that the upper end 33 is slipped, for example, a rubber member (including synthetic rubber) is provided, or a jagged surface is formed on the surface of the upper end 33.

  Further, the stand body 30 includes a link portion 35 that connects the first support piece 31 and the second support piece 34 at a distance. The link portion 35 is directed upward from the base end portion 32 of the first support piece 31 toward the other side (second side) 20b opposite to the first side 20a of the substrate 20. A first connecting portion 35a projecting so as to incline, a long portion 35b extending upward from a distal end portion of the first connecting portion 35a, and an upper end portion of the long portion 35b. It consists of the 2nd connection part 35c extended toward the said 2nd side 20b substantially parallel to the connection part 35a.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the elongate portion 35b is directed in the direction of the first support piece 31 toward the upper end portion so as to be substantially parallel to the inclination of the shin portions 51d and 52d of the one boot 51 and the other boot 52. Inclined.

  A first foot pocket 36 in which a toe portion 52e (see FIG. 2) of the other boot 52 is located is formed by the inclined first connecting portion 35a and the substrate 20.

  The second support piece 34 extends vertically downward from the tip of the second connection portion 35c. The lower end portion 37 of the second support piece 34 is inserted from the opening 52b of the other boot 52 toward the tubular strip portion 52a corresponding to the shin. The flange portion 52 c of the other boot 52 is placed on the second side 20 b of the substrate 20. The other boot 52 is supported by the second support piece 34 and the substrate 20.

  An extension portion 38 extends vertically upward from an intersecting portion of the second support piece 34 and the second connection portion 35c. A handle 39 extends horizontally from the upper end portion of the extension portion 38 toward the first support piece 31.

  As described above, when one boot 51 is turned upside down and supported by the first support piece 31, the toe portion 51e of the one boot 51 has the handle 39, the extension 38, and the second connection. It is located in the second foot pocket 40 formed by the portion 35c.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, each of the boots 51, 52 is supported by the support pieces 31, 34 in a staggered combination, so that the boot 50 is Fits compactly. However, since the link part 35 is interposed between the pair of boots 50, the boots 51 and 52 are not in contact with each other, and mold or the like is not generated.

  On the lower surface of the handle 39, there is a wave portion 39a that fits the shape of the plurality of fingers so that fingers do not hurt and do not slip when the handle 39 is gripped by hand to carry the boot stand 10. Is formed.

  In the boot stand 10 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the second support piece 34 is shorter than the first support piece 31. Specifically, the distance between the lower end portion 37 of the second support piece 34 and the substrate 20 is increased so that the other boot 52 can be easily inserted into the second support piece 34 from the opening 52b.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a first elastic holding member 41 is attached to the first support piece 31 and the second support piece 34. The first elastic holding member 41 holds the shape of the cylindrical portions 51a and 52a of the boots 51 and 52 when the boots 51 and 52 are supported by the first support piece 31 and the second support piece 34, respectively. In addition, the boots 51 and 52 are fixed to the support pieces 31 and 34 so as not to wobble.

  The first elastic holding member 41 is attached to the first and second support pieces 31, 34 so as to be in the vicinity of the openings 51 b, 52 b of the boots 51, 52.

  Since the first support piece 31 may be unstable when one boot 51 is supported by the upper end portion 33 of the first support piece 31 upside down, the position near the ankle portion of the boot 51 A second elastic holding member 42 is provided so that In other words, the first support piece 31 preferably has the first elastic holding member 41 at a position near the base end portion 32 and the second elastic holding member 42 at a position near the upper end portion 33. The second elastic holding member 42 is smaller than the first elastic holding member 41.

  The first elastic holding member 41 and the second elastic holding member 42 are made of the same material. For example, the first elastic holding member 41 and the second elastic holding member 42 are made of a synthetic resin material made of a foaming material, synthetic rubber, or the like.

  The first elastic holding member 41 is shown as an example in FIGS. 3 and 4. The first elastic holding member 41 has a rectangular shape in plan view having arc portions 43 and 43 at both ends serving as outer peripheral surfaces. Although not shown in the drawing, the second elastic holding member 42 has the same shape. An attachment hole 44 through which the first support piece 31 and the second support piece 34 are inserted is formed in the central portion of the first elastic holding member 41. The upper end portion 33 of the first support piece 31 and the lower end portion 37 of the second support piece 34 are passed through the mounting hole 44, and finally the first and second support pieces 31 and 34 are inserted into the first and second support pieces 31 and 34 so as to be press-fitted. 1 elastic holding member 41 is mounted.

  Since the outer peripheral surface composed of the arc portions 43, 43 of the first elastic holding member 41 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of each boot 51, 52, the outer peripheral surface is surface-treated with an antibacterial agent to prevent the occurrence of mold. It is preferable to do this.

  The first elastic holding member 41 shown in FIG. 3 shows an example of a rectangular shape in plan view, but is not limited to this in the present invention, and may be, for example, a circular shape in plan view. Alternatively, it may be oval in plan view so as to approximate the shape of the cylindrical portion of the boot. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, the first elastic holding member 41 may have a shape that is inclined so that the upper and lower surfaces of both end sides or the outer peripheral portion gradually become thinner outward. The second elastic holding member 42 is also different in size, and has the same material and shape as the first elastic holding member 41.

  The distance between the outer peripheral surfaces of the first elastic holding member 41 is larger than the inner diameters of the cylindrical portions 51 a and 52 a of the boots 51 and 52. When the first elastic holding members 41 are fitted into the boots 51 and 52, the boots 51 and 52 are expanded at the contact portions and reliably supported by the first elastic holding member 41. The second elastic holding member 42 performs the same operation.

  5 and 6 show a modification of the second support piece 34 that locks the first elastic holding member 41. In order to lock the first elastic holding member 41, the second support piece 34 of this modification has a neck portion 34a formed at the locking position so that the plate thickness and width are smaller than other portions. Have. The mounting hole 44a formed in the first elastic holding member 41 is formed slightly smaller than the neck portion 34a. Accordingly, since the second support piece 34 is formed with a step portion by the neck portion 34a, when the first elastic holding member 41 is locked to the neck portion 34a, the first elastic holding member 41 is moved to the step portion. Thus, the second support piece 34 is surely supported. Therefore, the other boot 52 is stably supported. It is preferable that the first support piece 31 also forms a neck portion in the same manner as the second support piece 34 shown in FIGS.

  7-11 has shown the boot stand 110 of 2nd Example. The boot stand 110 of the second example is such that the substrate 120 is shorter in the front-rear direction than the substrate 20 of the boot stand 10 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. The cross section of each member constituting the stand main body 130 is different from that of the long 134.

  In this way, by shortening the substrate 120 by the amount that the second support piece 134 extends long downward, the substrate 120 is not positioned below the lower end portion 137 of the second support piece 134, The other boot 52 is easily inserted into the second support piece 134. As long as this board | substrate 120 is the length in which the toe part 52e of the other boot 52 is mounted, as shown in 1st Example, it is not necessary to mount the collar part 52c. . Similar to the first embodiment, when the first elastic holding member 41 is used, the boot 52 is sufficiently supported by the second support piece 134.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the base end portion 132 of the stand main body 130 has a rectangular shape. Moreover, as shown in FIG.9 and FIG.10, the cross section of the handle 139 and the 2nd support piece 134 is a triangle. The first support piece 131 has a cross-sectional shape in which one corner of the triangle faces to be symmetrical with the cross-sectional shape of the second support piece 134. Thus, by making the cross section triangular, the strength of each part is improved more than a simple plate. The cross section of the link part 135 of the stand main body 130 has a rectangular shape as shown in FIG.

  Since the handle 139 has a triangular shape as shown in FIG. 9, there is a risk that a finger may become painful when being held and carried by a hand. Therefore, a notch 139a is formed as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. It is preferable to do this.

  12 and 13 show a boot stand 210 of the third embodiment. In the boot stand 210 of the third embodiment, the cross-sectional shapes of the first support piece 231, the second support piece 234, the link portion 235, and the handle 239 are shown in FIG. It has a cross shape as shown. The substrate 120 is the same as the substrate 120 of the second embodiment shown in FIG.

  FIG. 14 shows a boot stand 310 of the fourth embodiment. In the boot stand 310 of the fourth embodiment, the stand body 330 is formed in a plate shape as in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. The difference from the boot stand 10 of the first embodiment is that the second support piece 334 of the stand body 330 is formed long. That is, the distance between the lower end 337 of the second support piece 334 and the substrate 20 is narrowed. Therefore, it is difficult to insert the other boot into the second support piece 334. However, by making the second support piece 334 longer and approximately the same length as the first support piece 331, the first and second support pieces 331 and 334 are well balanced and the boot stand 310 as a whole is stable. Appearance is obtained.

  When boots are stored or displayed for a long period of time, a pair of boots are supported by being alternately combined up and down, so that the boots are compact and useful as a boot stand that does not require a large area.
