Description

  The present invention relates to footwear, and more particularly, to footwear that can be worn without a sense of incongruity and can be stored by being magnetically attached to any place that can be magnetically attached.

  For example, when cleaning a bathroom, the floor is wet with bath water or water, so if you enter the bathroom with your socks on, the socks will get wet, while you take off your socks and enter the bathroom barefoot Not only does the sole get wet, but the sole gets very cold in winter.

  Therefore, bathroom boots have been commercialized, but when bathroom boots are not used, they are taken off in the bathroom or dressing room as they are, or leaned against a slip stand. And the narrow space inside the dressing room was felt even narrower by the bathroom boots, which was in the way.

  On the other hand, a method has been proposed in which a hook is provided on the base and the boot is hung, the magnet on the back of the base is magnetically attached to the outer surface of the washing machine, and the bathroom boot is hooked and stored on the hook of the base. (Patent Document 1).

  In addition, a method is proposed in which a magnet is provided at the bottom of the slipper and magnetically attached to a board, etc., and a method in which the bottom of the footwear such as slippers is made of a magnetic material and magnetically attached to the magnet provided on the wall is stored. (Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4)).

  Conventionally, a concept is known in which a magnet protrudes from the bottom or insole of footwear, and blood circulation on the sole is promoted by magnetic field lines and magnet stimulation (Patent Document 5).

JP 2002-159410 A Utility Model Registration No. 3122235 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-158471 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-192301 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 20060129989

  However, in the method described in Patent Documents 1, 3, and 4, after moving from the bathroom to another place, for example, the toilet with the boots and footwear on, and cleaning the toilet, return to the bathroom with boots and magnets. It was necessary to hook the boots on the hooks or magnetically attach them, which was very troublesome.

  Further, the skin of the human foot is very sensitive. For example, when pebbles get into the shoe and hit the foot, it is not only uncomfortable but also painful. The point is not taken into consideration at all, the magnet feels uncomfortable, and there is a risk of suffering when worn for a long time.

  In view of such a problem, the present invention has an object to provide footwear that can be worn without a sense of incongruity and can be magnetized and stored when there is a place that can be magnetized at any place. To do.

  Therefore, the footwear according to the present invention comprises a footwear main body and a sole, the sole is made of a low foam synthetic resin material, and a concave portion having a depth of 1/2 or more of the sole thickness is formed on the upper surface of the sole. While the magnet plate is fitted in the recess so as to be flush with the upper surface of the sole, the footwear main body is manufactured in a bottomed shape using a soft synthetic resin material, and the bottom surface thereof is fixed to the upper surface of the sole. It is characterized in that the above-mentioned sole can be magnetized and stored on the outer surface that can be magnetized.

  One of the features of the present invention is that the footwear is composed of a footwear main body and a sole, and a magnet plate is provided on the sole. Thus, the boot can be magnetically attached to a magnetically attachable portion, for example, the outer surface of a washing machine placed in a bathroom, and can be stored without being obstructed.

  Also, when footwear is used in places other than the bathroom, it can be stored without returning to the bathroom by magnetizing the footwear at places where it can be magnetized, for example, iron-based metal materials in the toilet or bathroom. can do.

  By the way, it is conceivable to expose the magnet plate on the back surface of the sole. In this case, the magnet plate may damage the floor surface of the bathroom or other places, for example, tiles on the floor surface. The second feature of the present invention is that a concave portion is formed on the upper surface of the sole so that the magnet plate is fitted flush. As a result, the magnet plate does not damage the tiles on the floor surface and can be used without anxiety.

  The third feature of the present invention is that the footwear body is made of a soft synthetic resin material in a bottomed shape, the sole is made of a low-foaming synthetic resin material, and the concave portion is ½ or more of the sole thickness, preferably The magnetic plate is formed to a depth of 1/2 or more and 3/4 or less so that the magnet plate is fitted flush with the upper surface of the sole, and the bottom surface of the footwear body is fixed flush with the upper surface of the sole.

  As a result, the bottom of the synthetic resin material does not directly hit the magnet plate, and the sole part on the lower side of the magnet plate acts as a cushion so that the impact from the floor surface is not directly transmitted to the magnet plate. Since the magnet plate is flush with the upper surface of the sole, it is possible to reduce the uncomfortable feeling felt when wearing the footwear.

  In addition, if the feeling of discomfort is great, if a recess is formed in the sole portion corresponding to the arch of the sole and the magnet plate is fitted into the recess, the hard magnet plate will not directly irritate the sole. , You can reduce the sense of incongruity.

  The material of the footwear main body and the sole is not particularly limited, but the same material as that of a commercially available boot for a bathroom can be used. For example, a polyethylene resin or an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin can be used. The footwear body is preferably manufactured by blow molding.

  Moreover, the skin of the human foot is very sensitive. For example, when a pebbles get into the shoe and hits the sole, it feels uncomfortable as well as painful.

  The footwear according to the present invention has a great effect when applied to water boots such as bathrooms, toilets and washrooms, but the same effect can be obtained when applied to slippers that can be worn indoors.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on specific examples shown in the drawings. 1 to 4 show a preferred embodiment of footwear according to the present invention. In the figure, a boot (footwear) 10 is composed of a boot body (footwear body) 20 and a sole 30.

  The sole 30 is manufactured to a thickness of 4 mm using a low-foaming synthetic resin material, for example, a low-foaming ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin material, and three concave portions 31 are formed on the upper surface of the sole 30 at a portion substantially corresponding to the arch portion of the sole. The three recesses 31 are formed to a depth of 1/2 or more of the thickness of the sole 30, for example, about 3 mm deep, and the magnet plate 40 is flush with the upper surface of the sole 30 in the recess 31. It is fitted to be.

  The boot body 20 is manufactured to have a bottomed shape with a thickness of about 0.5 to 0.8 mm using a soft synthetic resin material, for example, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin material. It is welded to the upper surface.

  When manufacturing the boot 10 of this example, the sole 30 having a thickness of 4 mm is manufactured using a low foaming synthetic resin material, for example, a low foaming ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin material. The manufacturing method can be manufactured by a known method employed for this type of sole, for example, injection molding using a mold.

  When the sole 30 is manufactured, the three recesses 31 are formed on the upper surface of the sole 30. However, after the normal sole 30 is manufactured, the three recesses 31 may be formed by machining.

  When the sole 30 is ready, the sole 30 is set in the blow molds 50 and 51, while the parison is molded using a molten soft synthetic resin material, for example, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin material. When this parison is set in the blow molding dies 50 and 51, air is blown from the air blowing port 52, and the parison is molded into the cavity shape of the dies 50 and 51, that is, the shape of the boot body 20, the boot body The bottom surface of 20 and the top surface of the sole 30 are welded.

  Finally, when the molds 50 and 51 are opened, the molded product is taken out and the unnecessary portion is cut, the product boot 10 is obtained. This boot 10 has a magnet plate 40 embedded in the sole 30 and can be stored by magnetizing the boot 10 to an iron-based material, so that it can be magnetized in a watering place such as a bathroom, washroom or toilet. If there is a place of a simple material, for example, an iron-based material, it can be stored without getting in the way.

  Further, since the concave portion 31 is formed on the upper surface of the sole 30 so that the magnet plate 40 is fitted flush with the sole plate, there is no possibility that the tiles on the floor surface will be damaged by the magnet plate 40, and it can be used without anxiety.

  Further, the boot body 20 has a bottomed shape, the bottom surface is fixed to the upper surface of the sole 30, and the concave portion of the sole is further set to a depth of 3/4 of the thickness of the sole 30, so that the magnet plate 40 is fitted flush. Therefore, the hard magnet plate 40 does not push up or hit the sole of the foot, and there is little discomfort felt by the person wearing the boot 10.

  In particular, since the recess 31 is formed in the portion of the sole 30 corresponding to the arch portion of the sole, and the magnet plate 40 is fitted into the recess 31, the hard magnet plate 40 does not directly stimulate the sole. , You can reduce the sense of incongruity.

  5 and 6 show a second embodiment, which is an example applied to a slipper. In the figure, a slipper (footwear) 1 ′ is composed of a slipper body (footwear body) 20 ′ and a sole 30 ′, and the sole 30 uses a low foam synthetic resin material, for example, a low foam ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin material. 3 recesses 31 'are formed on the upper surface of the upper surface of the sole so as to substantially correspond to the arch portion of the sole, and the three recesses 31' are deeper than 1/2 the thickness of the sole 30 '. For example, it is formed to a depth of about 3 mm, and a magnet plate 40 ′ is fitted in the recess 31 so as to be flush with the upper surface of the sole 30 ′.

  The slipper body 20 ′ is manufactured to have a bottomed shape with a thickness of about 0.5 to 0.8 mm using a soft synthetic resin material, for example, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin material, and the bottom surface of the slipper body 20 ′ is a sole. It is welded to the upper surface of 30 '.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a mold used for manufacturing the slipper of this example, in which 50 'is a lower mold, 51' is an upper mold, and 52 'is an air blowing port.
