Description

  The present invention relates to a shoe that can be easily tightened and provides a good fit.

  As a shoe tightening structure, a structure in which a shoelace is tightened from an instep portion to a mouth is known. For example, a shoe having an upper holding portion that is higher than an ankle portion like a boot for a snowboard. In addition, the tightening structure using the shoelace is often employed.

  However, this shoelace tightening structure is tightened in order from the toe side, but in shoes where the upper holding part reaches halfway like a snowboard boot, it is tightened from the toe to the upper part in the middle of the shin. It requires a strong force and takes time and labor. Further, when the upper part is tightened, the toe side is loosened and it is difficult to tighten firmly.

  In view of this, snowboard boots that have been variously devised so as to be able to easily and quickly perform such troublesome tightening have been proposed.

  For example, independent shoelaces are provided for the instep part and the shin part of the boot so that the tightness of the instep part and the shin part can be adjusted separately so as not to loosen. There has been proposed a snowboard boot (see Patent Document 1) having a tightening structure which is provided with a strap fastening means and prevents the shoelace from being easily loosened by the strap fastening means. Since the upper part and the shin part are tightened separately, it is difficult to loosen and a person with weak power can perform the tightening operation.

  In addition, a snowboard boot having a tightening structure that can be easily tightened by winding the shoelace with a dial-type device has been proposed. According to this boot, no force is required for tightening, and the wound shoelace is There is an advantage that the knot does not appear when wound around the dial, so that the appearance is good and the knot of the shoelace does not interfere with the strap belt of the binding.

Utility Model Registration No. 3115773

  However, the former boots can reduce the time required for tightening compared to the configuration in which the shoelaces are passed from the instep to the mouth, but the shoelace tightening operation itself is much easier to operate. Since it is not a tightening means, it could not be said that satisfactory operability was obtained.

  In the latter boot, the upper support part above the ankle is the center of the tightening range, and a good fit is difficult to get from the toe to the ankle. Then, since it cannot be easily repaired, there was a problem that there were not a few scenes where users were confused at the site (ski resort).

  In view of the current state of such conventional snowboard boots, the present invention has been completed as a result of trial and error and whether product tightening can be performed more easily and quickly than these, and product development has proceeded.

  In other words, the present invention provides a revolutionary shoe that can be tightened easily and quickly by anyone and that is extremely practical.

  The gist of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  A shoe body 1 having a front side opening 4 that opens from the front side of the shoe mouth part 2 to the upper part 3 is provided with a tongue member 5 in the front side opening part 4, and a fastening means 6 is provided in the front side opening part 4. In the shoe, the tightening means 6 is provided with belt passing portions A, B, C, D on the upper left and right portions and the lower left and right portions of the shoe body 1 along the front opening 4, respectively. Each belt passing portion A, B, C, D is configured to be positioned on the front side of the tongue member 5, and one end of the tightening belt 7 is fixed to the upper belt passing portion A or is detachably fixed. The other end of the tightening belt 7 is arranged on the front side of the tongue member 5 and passed through the lower belt passing portion B located obliquely below, and then folded horizontally to be connected to the lower one. The belt is passed through the belt passing part C, then folded back diagonally upward, Cross the middle part of the tightening belt 7 disposed between the upper belt passing part A and the lower other belt passing part B on the front side of the belt member 5, and then pass through the upper belt passing part D. By pulling the other end of the tightening belt 7, the shoe body 1 can be fastened together with the tongue member 5, and a coupling 8 for detachably connecting the other end of the pulled tightening belt 7 is provided to the tightening belt 7. 7 is a shoe provided with one end of 7.

  Further, the shoe body 1 includes an upper holding portion 9 that holds the upper side from the ankle, and the tightening means 6 is provided in the upper opening portion 4A of the front opening portion 4 existing in the upper holding portion 9. The present invention relates to a shoe according to claim 1.

  The shoe body 1 includes an upper holding portion 9 that holds the upper side from the ankle, and the upper opening portion 4A of the front opening portion 4 in the upper holding portion 9 and the upper portion of the shoe body 1 are provided. 3. The shoe according to claim 1, wherein the tightening means 6 is provided in one or both of the lower opening portion 4 </ b> B of the front opening portion 4 existing in 3. It is.

  Further, the belt passing portions A, B, C, and D project from the opening peripheral edge of the front opening 4 of the shoe body 1 toward the inside, and the belt passing portions A, B, C, and D are projected. It is comprised so that may be located in the front side of the said tongue member 5, It concerns on the shoe of any one of Claims 1-3 characterized by the above-mentioned.

  Further, at least the other upper belt passing portion D through which the other end of the tightening belt 7 passes is provided so as to be movable in the vertical direction with respect to the shoe main body 1. This relates to the shoes described in item 1.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, since the frictional resistance between the tightening belt and the belt passing portion when the other end of the tightening belt is pulled is relatively small, the pulling operation of the tightening belt is easily and quickly performed. The shoe body can be fitted to the foot, and when the other end of the tightened and tightened tightening belt is coupled and locked to a fastener provided at one end of the tightening belt, the tightening belt is moved to the front opening of the shoe body. Since the area where the tightening belt exists is well tightened together with the tongue member, the structure in which the tightening belt is simply tightened by a single tightening belt is obtained. In addition, since one end of the tightening belt is fixed to the upper belt passing portion, the position of the coupler provided at one end of the tightening belt moves to a position that is inconvenient for the coupling operation. Without such certainly like operability can perform join operations tightening the belt around the front opening is good, a breakthrough shoes Xiu is extremely practical.

  Further, in the invention described in claim 2, since the upper hold portion of the shoe body can be easily and quickly tightened, for example, a snowboard that has an upper hold portion and needs to tighten a wide range of the shoe body. If the present invention is applied to the boot for use, at least the upper hold part can be easily and quickly tightened, and the upper hold part is provided with a tightening means, so that the upper part is provided with another tightening means. Accordingly, a snowboard boot having a high commercial value can be realized in which the upper part and the upper hold part are separately fastened to obtain a good fit.

  Further, in the invention according to claim 3, there is provided a shoe having an extremely practical configuration capable of easily and quickly fastening one or both of the upper part and the upper holding part of the shoe body. Will be realized.

  Further, in the invention described in claim 4, since the tightening belt does not contact the peripheral edge of the front opening of the shoe body, the pulling resistance of the tightening belt is further reduced. The shoe can be performed more easily and quickly, and has a very practical configuration.

  In the invention according to claim 5, when the other end of the tightening belt is pulled, at least the other upper belt passing portion moves in the vertical direction with respect to the shoe body following the movement of the pulled tightening belt. Therefore, even if the tightening belt has a wide width, the other end of the tightening belt is not twisted, and the shoe can be easily operated so that the pulling operation is excellent.

  Embodiments of the present invention that are considered suitable (how to carry out the invention) will be briefly described with reference to the drawings, illustrating the operation of the present invention.

  When a foot is inserted into the shoe main body 1 from the shoe mouth 2 and the other end of the tightening belt 7 passed through the other belt passing portion D on the upper side of the shoe main body 1 is pulled, one end of the tightening belt 7 is at the shoe main body. 1 is fixed to one upper belt passing portion A extending along the front opening 4, and the other end of the lower other belt passing portion B, the lower one belt passing portion C, and the upper other belt passing portion D. Since these are passed in order, the predetermined range of the front opening 4 of the shoe body 1 where the tightening belt 7 exists is tightened together with the tongue member 5 so that the shoe body 1 fits the foot.

  Further, the tightening belt 7 passed through only three portions of the lower other belt passing portion B, the lower one belt passing portion C, and the upper other belt passing portion D is when the other end of the tightening belt 7 is pulled. Since the frictional resistance (pulling resistance) with the belt passing portions B, C, and D is relatively small, a large resistance is not generated in the pulling operation. Therefore, the pulling operation can be easily and quickly performed. Fit your feet easily and quickly.

  When the other end of the tightening belt 7 is coupled to the coupler 8 provided at one end of the tightening belt 7 after the tightening is finished, the tightened state is locked, and the tightening belt 7 is approximately 8 in the front opening 4 of the shoe body 1. This is an approximately 8-shaped tightening belt 7 that tightens the predetermined range of the front opening 4 of the shoe body 1 together with the tongue member 5 to provide a good fit to the foot. Will be maintained.

  At this time, since one end of the tightening belt 7 is fixed to the upper belt passing portion A, the position of the coupler 8 provided at one end of the tightening belt 7 is inconvenient for coupling the other end of the tightening belt 7. The tightening belt 7 can be reliably coupled in the vicinity of the front opening 4 without being moved to a proper position, so that the operability is excellent.

  Accordingly, the pulling operation (tightening operation) of the other end of the tightening belt 7 can be easily performed in this manner, and the tightening belt 7 can be quickly locked. The shoe body having excellent practicality is provided with the fastening means 6 that can fasten the upper and lower ranges of the shoe main body 1 along with the tongue member 5 very well.

  In addition, in the case of adopting a configuration in which one end of the tightening belt 7 is fixed to the upper belt passing portion A using a detachable fixing tool, the tightening belt 7 can be tightened by removing the fixing tool from the upper one belt passing portion A. It is also possible to replace the belt 7 with a higher design, or replace the damaged tightening belt 7 with a new one.

  Further, for example, the shoe body 1 is configured to include an upper hold portion 9 that holds the upper side from the ankle, and the tightening means 6 is provided in the upper opening portion 4A of the front opening portion 4 existing in the upper hold portion 9. Accordingly, the upper hold portion 9 of the shoe having the upper hold portion 9 and having a wide tightening range can be easily and quickly tightened.

  Therefore, for example, if the present invention is applied to a snowboard boot having the upper hold portion 9, the snowboard boot extends from the upper portion 3 of the shoe body 1 to the upper hold portion 9 so that the foot does not float inside. It is necessary to fasten the wide range of at least firmly, but at least the upper holding part 9 can be fastened more easily and quickly than before, so that the mounting work is simplified and performed quickly, Since the tightening means 6 is provided in the upper hold portion 9, another upper tightening means can be provided in the upper portion 3, and the upper portion 3 and the upper hold portion 9 can be separately tightened so that it is difficult to loosen. Thus, a snowboard boot having a high commercial value capable of obtaining a good fit is realized.

  Further, for example, in a shoe having an upper holding portion 9, if the tightening means 6 is also provided on the back portion 3 of the shoe body 1, the back portion 3 can be fastened easily and quickly. Be practical.

  Further, for example, when applied to a snowboard boot and the tightening means 6 is provided on both the upper part 3 and the upper hold part 9, both the upper part 3 and the upper hold part 9 are tightened very easily and quickly. A snowboard boot with extremely high commercial value that can be achieved will be realized.

  When the shoe of the present invention is removed, the tightening belt 7 can be easily loosened by releasing the connection of the other end of the tightening belt 7 from the coupling tool 8.

  Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a snowboard boot.

  Briefly describing the shoe body 1 of this snowboard boot, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, the upper holding portion 9 which is higher than the ankle and covers the middle of the shin portion is provided. 2 is provided with a front opening 4 that opens from the front side to the instep portion 3, a tongue member 5 is provided in the front opening 4, and a fastening means is provided in the front opening 4. In addition, an inner boot 10 having a height to hold the shin halfway is detachably provided in the shoe body 1 (outer boot).

  In the present embodiment, the first fastening means 16 is provided in the lower opening portion 4B of the front opening portion 4 existing in the upper portion 3 of the shoe body 1, and the front opening portion existing in the upper holding portion 9 of the shoe body 1 is provided. 4 is provided with a second fastening means 6 as the fastening means 6 of the present invention. That is, in this embodiment, the upper portion 3 and the upper hold portion 9 are not tightened by one tightening means, but separate tightening means are provided for the upper portion 3 and the upper hold portion 9.

  Specifically, the first tightening means 16 of the present embodiment is formed with lace passing portions 12 at several locations on the opening edge of the lower opening portion 4B of the upper portion 3, and each lace passing portion 12 has a shoe lace. The upper part 3 is tightened with the shoelace 11 through 11.

  Further, the second tightening means 6 of this embodiment includes belt passing portions A and B on the upper left and right sides and the lower left and right portions of the upper hold portion 9 provided along the upper opening portion 4A of the front opening 4 respectively. , C, and D, and the belt passing portions A, B, C, and D are positioned on the front side of the tongue member 5.

  More specifically, belt-like mounting belts 13 project toward the upper opening portion 4A from a total of four locations, the upper left and right sides and the lower left and right portions outside the opening edge of the upper opening portion 4A of the upper hold portion 9. Then, a ring having an elongated ring shape is connected to the projecting tip of each mounting belt 13, and each ring is used as a belt passing portion A, B, C, D.

  In the present embodiment, the rings constituting the belt passing portions A, B, C, and D are disposed on the inner side of the opening peripheral edge of the front opening 4 (upper opening 4A) of the shoe body 1. The degree of protrusion (length dimension) of each mounting belt 13 is set so that the belt passing portions A, B, C, and D are positioned on the front side of the tongue member 5.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 2, one end of the tightening belt 7 is passed through the belt passing part A on the upper side (upper right side in the drawing) and then folded back, and the overlapping parts are fastened to each other (for example, screws). 1), one end of the tightening belt 7 is fixed to the upper one belt passing portion A, and the other end of the tightening belt 7 is disposed on the front side of the tongue member 5 and the other lower side located obliquely below. After passing through the belt passing part B, it is folded back horizontally and passed through the lower belt passing part C, then folded back obliquely upward, and on the front side of the tongue member 5, the upper one belt passing part A and the lower other 3 is crossed with a middle portion of the tightening belt 7 disposed between the belt passing portions B and then passed through the other belt passing portion D on the upper side, and the other end of the tightening belt 7 is pulled as indicated by an arrow in FIG. The upper member together with the tongue member 5 It constitutes a de unit 9 so as to tightening.

  Further, at this time, the tightening belt 7 is configured to move with respect to only three portions of the lower other belt passing portion B, the lower one belt passing portion C, and the upper other belt passing portion D. The moving frictional resistance of the tightening belt 7 with respect to the portions B, C, and D is relatively small, and the lower belt other portion B, the lower belt passing portion C, and the upper other belt passing portion D are upper opening portions. 4A, the frictional resistance is not substantially generated between the tightening belt 7 and the upper holding portion 9, and therefore the pulling operation of the other end of the tightening belt 7 is a strong resistance. In this configuration, it is possible to easily perform the pulling operation without causing any trouble. According to the applicant's prototype experiment, it has been confirmed that the fastening belt 7 can be easily tightened by pulling the other end of the fastening belt 7 with the help of a woman.

  Further, a coupling tool 8 is provided at one end of the tightening belt 7 so that the other end of the tightened tightening belt 7 is detachably coupled to form a tightening lock state.

  As the coupler 8, an existing belt fastener that can be bundled by being folded back through a belt is used, and the belt fastener 8 is connected using a superposed portion at one end of the tightening belt 7. Therefore, by adopting such an existing belt fastener 8, it is possible to easily design and implement the coupler 8 and to easily attach and detach the tightening belt 7.

  Further, in this embodiment, the overlapping portion at one end of the tightening belt 7 is provided so as to project toward the upper opening portion 4A, and the overlapping dimension of the overlapping portion (the degree of protrusion from the upper belt passing portion A) is set. The belt fastener 8 serving as the coupler 8 connected to the overlapping portion is set to be positioned substantially at the center of the upper opening portion 4A (see FIG. 5).

  Therefore, when the other end of the tightening belt 7 is pulled and tightened, one end of the tightening belt 7 is fixed to the upper belt passing portion A. Therefore, the coupler 8 provided at one end of the tightening belt 7 is used. Is not moved to a position that is inconvenient for the joining of the other end of the tightening belt 7, and one end and the other end of the tightening belt 7 are surely provided at substantially the center position of the front opening 4 (upper opening 4A). It is set as the structure which can perform joint operation of.

When the belt is crossed to the lower side of the middle portion of the tightening belt 7 and passed through the other belt passing portion D on the upper side, the other end of the tightening belt 7 is pressed against the tongue member 5 and is sandwiched between the cross portions. In this state, the other end of the tightening belt 7 is prevented from returning (loosening) after pulling (tightening adjustment), so that the coupling operation by the coupler 8 can be performed without worrying about belt slack. This is preferable because it is possible.

  Then, when one end and the other end of the tightening belt 7 are coupled by the coupling tool 8, the tightening state is locked and the tightening belt 7 is arranged in a substantially 8 shape in the upper opening portion 4 </ b> A of the shoe body 1. The predetermined range of the upper opening portion 4A of the shoe body 1 in which the approximately 8-shaped tightening belt 7 exists is tightened very well together with the tongue member 5 so that the upper holding portion 9 can be satisfactorily applied to the foot (the portion above the ankle). It is configured to provide a fit.

  Further, the tightening belt 7 of this embodiment has a soft property (for example, nylon) and has a width of about 23 to 25 mm. When the tightening belt 7 having such a width is used, an application is made that the pulling (tightening) operation is easy and sufficient tightening action of the upper holding portion 9 can be obtained by the tightening belt 7 arranged in the shape of approximately eight. It has been confirmed by people.
