  The above-described heel-switching shoe of Patent Document 1 walks with the heel on its side being in contact with the ground, so there is a high possibility that the heel will be damaged or soiled, and there is a risk that the heel side surface will be worn by walking. It was. Therefore, when this heel is returned to its original state and used as a high heel, the appearance is very dirty, so that there is a disadvantage that a beautiful attire is erased.

  In addition, the above-described shoe of Patent Document 2 can solve the disadvantages of the heel-switching shoe of Patent Document 1 described above, but the portion of the shoe sole on which the heel of the foot is placed is formed to be thick and the screw portion is There is a problem that the foot must be provided and the foot is easy to come off from the shoe, so that it is not comfortable to wear and it is difficult to walk lightly.

  Therefore, the present invention aims to provide women's shoes that can easily adjust the height of the shoe heel according to the situation and can maintain excellent comfort without impairing the design. Is.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following technical means.
That is, the present invention described in claim 1 is a women's shoe in which a heel member capable of adjusting the height is attached to a shoe body having an expansion / contraction function corresponding to a change in the height of the heel. The upper heel body fixed to the main body and the lower heel body attached to the upper heel body via screws and provided so as to be movable up and down are provided, and a hollow portion is provided inside the upper heel body, A height-adjustable women's shoe, wherein the lower heel body moved upward is configured to be accommodated in the hollow portion.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a women's shoe in which a height adjustable heel member is attached to a shoe body having an expansion / contraction function corresponding to a change in the height of the heel. It is divided into a fixed upper heel body and a lower heel body that is detachably attached to the upper heel body, and a separate grounding member can be attached instead of the lower heel body described above. It is a feature-adjustable women's shoe.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the women's shoes capable of height adjustment according to the first aspect, the lower heel body is attached to the upper heel body via a latch mechanism including a coil spring or the like. It is what.

  If the height adjustable women's shoes of the present invention are used, the height of the currently worn shoes can be changed with one touch when it is necessary to change to shoes having different heights. Therefore, if you change the setting from high heels to low heels in situations such as commuting by train, travel, work, driving a car, etc., you can reduce fatigue, lighten movement, improve safety, etc. If you change the setting from low heels to high heels in situations where you need to take into account the design of clothes such as parties, you can dress up to match the atmosphere of the place. is there.

  Furthermore, the women's shoes according to the present invention are configured so that the lower heel body is accommodated in the upper heel body, and the lower heel body is not damaged or dirty when not in use. The product of the present invention has a simple structure and a small number of parts, so that it can be manufactured at low cost and does not require complicated operations and is easy to handle. There is an advantage.

  When changing the height of the heel by forming the heel member forming the heel of the women's shoe into two parts, an upper heel body and a lower heel body, and connecting both via a male or female screw or latch mechanism The lower heel body is raised and accommodated in the hollow portion in the upper heel body or lowered from the hollow portion.

  In the following, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, but the shoe body 1 used in each embodiment of the present invention is to cope with changes in the height of the heel. A telescopic function is provided in advance between the toe part and the side part. For imparting the stretch function, for example, there are various methods such as forming the entire front half of the shoe from a highly stretchable material or interposing a stretchable material between the toe portion and the side surface portion.

  The heel member 2 used in each embodiment of the present invention is divided into an upper heel body 10 and a lower heel body 20, but the shape of the heel member 2 and the heel forming material are as follows. It is assumed that the same shape and material as those of high-heeled women's shoes that are generally marketed are adopted. In addition, if there is a very unnatural step at the connecting portion between the upper heel body 10 and the lower heel body 20, the design property is lacking. Therefore, it is preferable to give design considerations to this point.

  The upper heel body 10 is fixed to the shoe main body 1 so as to be inseparable like a general shoe, but in order to accommodate the lower heel body 20 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The hollow portion 11 is formed, and a female screw portion 12 is engraved on the wall surface of the hollow portion 11. The lower heel body 20 has a grounding member 3 formed of hard rubber or the like fixed to the lower end thereof, and a male screw portion 21 is engraved on a part or all of the outer periphery of the heel body. The lower heel body 20 in this case is detachably attached to the upper heel body 10, and the position where the lowermost part of the female screw part 12 and the lowermost part of the male screw part 21 are screwed together is a position where a high heel shape is set. In addition, the position where the uppermost part of the female screw part 12 and the uppermost part of the male screw part 21 are screwed together is a position set in a low heel shape.

  In FIG. 2, an example in which the male screw portion 21 is engraved only on the upper portion of the lower heel body 20 is shown, but the male screw portion 21 may be provided over the entire surface of the heel outer periphery. Further, in the present embodiment, no fixing means for fixing the lower heel body 20 at a predetermined position is provided, but for example, a fixing means as shown in Example 3 described later may be provided.

  In Example 1 having the above-described configuration, when the height is changed from the high heel shape as shown in FIG. 1 to the low heel shape as shown in FIG. 3, the lower heel body 20 is rotated along the screw groove. When moved upward, the lower heel body 20 is sequentially accommodated in the hollow portion 11 of the upper heel body 10, and when the rotation stops, the accommodation in the hollow portion is completed. In this case, it is assumed that the grounding member 3 attached to the lower end portion of the lower heel body 20 is configured to protrude from the lower end of the upper heel body 10. When the height is changed from the low heel form to the high heel form, the operation reverse to the above is performed.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, the lower heel body 20 is detachably attached to the upper heel body 10, and when the height is changed from the high heel form as shown in FIG. 1 to the low heel form as shown in FIG. The lower heel body 20 is removed, and a separately prepared single ground member 3 is attached to the upper heel body 10. In this case, the method of attaching the grounding member 3 is arbitrary, and any means such as screwing, fitting, and crowning may be used.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the lower heel body 20 is attached to the upper heel body 10 with a knock type structure such as that found in a ballpoint pen or a jump umbrella. As such a knock type structure, a latch mechanism 4 using a coil spring 41, a movable locking claw 42, a conduction hole (not shown), and the like is widely known, and this embodiment also employs the latch mechanism 4. Therefore, when shifting from the high heel form shown by the phantom line in FIG. 4 to the low heel form shown by the solid line, if the lower heel body 20 is knocked from below as shown by the arrow shown by the phantom line, It is moved upward and locked inside the hollow portion 11. When shifting from the low heel form to the high heel form, knocking from below as indicated by the solid line arrow unlocks the lower heel body 20 and moves downward with one touch to return to the original position. It is locked again in position.

  When the latch mechanism as described above is employed, there is a risk that the latch mechanism will be inadvertently released due to an impact from the ground due to walking, so that the lower heel body 20 is fixed at a predetermined position. It is necessary to provide a fixing means. In this embodiment, this fixing means is solved by using a lock pin. That is, the upper heel body 10 is formed with lock grooves 13A and 13B, and the lower heel body 20 is formed with a lock groove 23 at an appropriate position in the upper portion, so that the lock groove 13A and the lock groove 23 are linear. When the lock pin 5 is inserted when aligned, the lower heel body 20 can be fixed in the form of a low heel, and when the lock pin 5 is inserted when the lock groove 13B and the lock groove 23 are aligned on a straight line, The lower heel body 20 can be fixed in the form of a high heel. The fixing means at the predetermined position of the lower heel body 20 is not limited to the use of a lock pin, and it goes without saying that various known fixing means may be adopted.

  The present invention is configured as described above, and it is possible to easily adjust the height of a pair of shoes from a low heel form to a high heel form (or vice versa). Even if you change the height of the heel according to the situation in your life, you can reduce fatigue, lightly move, improve safety, etc., and you can wear it that matches the atmosphere of the place It is. Furthermore, the shoes targeted by the present invention are not limited to the high-heeled shoes shown in the figure, and can be widely applied to women's shoes such as boots, pumps, boots, and men's shoes. .
