Description

  The present invention, when worn, is a foot cover that is hidden behind a shoe such as sneakers (casual exercise shoes) or pumps (mainly women's shoes with the instep part that is wide open) and is invisible. In particular, the present invention relates to a foot cover (including socks) in which a cushion or the like for shock absorption is disposed at a partial position of the sole.

Wearing shoes such as pumps on bare feet has become established as a fashion. In this case, if the pump and the sole are in direct contact with each other, the sweat inside the shoe may become stuffy due to sweat generated on the foot, resulting in uncomfortable feeling.
Therefore, we propose a thin foot cover that covers the toes and the sole including the heel and exposes the instep and ankle, and the mouth is greatly cut so that it is not exposed from the pump when worn. Has been. If you wear this foot cover and wear pumps, it looks like you are wearing pumps on your bare feet, and the foot cover is between the sole and the pumps, so sweat sweats the inside of the shoes Can be prevented.

In addition, although such a foot wearing device is described as a foot cover in this specification, it may be described as a sock cover, inner socks, nude socks, cover socks, socks, or the like.
Among such foot wearing devices, there are socks having a cushion material (pain relieving body) on the sole. Such socks are disclosed in the following prior art documents.

  However, in the socks disclosed in these Patent Documents 1 to 4, a flat cushion material is merely used as an impact absorbing material or a pain relieving material on the entire sole surface or a part of the sole. In this way, when the cushioning material is flat, especially when only such cushioning material is provided on the entire sole, the cushion material does not vary greatly in height, and effects such as shock absorption are sufficient. It cannot be expressed.

  The present invention has been developed in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a foot cover that can sufficiently exhibit effects such as shock absorption by a cushion material. It is.

In order to achieve the above object, the foot cover according to the present invention employs the following technical means.
That is, the foot cover according to the present invention includes at least a plantar part that covers the sole and a toe part that covers the toe, and the plantar part is a position of a part of the plantar part and a base of the toe. And an elastic member having a three-dimensional solid shape provided corresponding to at least one of the positions of the arch, and a cloth covering the elastic member and fixing the position. .

  According to the foot cover of the present invention, it is possible to provide a foot cover that can sufficiently exhibit effects such as shock absorption by the cushion material.

The kind of the cloth constituting the foot cover, the pattern of the cloth, and the sewing thereof may be any. Further, the foot cover may have a normal sock shape. For this reason, the structure of the foot cover shown below is merely an example. The fabric forming the foot cover is an elastic fabric.

Moreover, the foot cover shown below is not for right and left use but for right foot. The left foot has a shape symmetrical to that of the right foot. When the left and right foot covers can be shared (the shape and position of the cushion material are the same on the left and right), it is preferable that the left and right sides are not mistakenly worn.
FIG. 1 shows a foot cover 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of the foot cover 100. In FIG. 1, it is assumed that the foot cover 100 is worn on the wearer's foot F. FIG. That is, since the foot cover 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is formed of stretchable fabric such as pantyhose or socks, it is in a contracted state when not illustrated and assumes a shape. Since it is difficult to understand, it is assumed as described above.

  The foot cover 100 covers a toe of the wearer's foot F and a part of the sole (having at least a toe portion covering the sole and a toe portion covering the toe), and exposes the instep and ankle. It is. The foot cover 100 is formed of a thin stretchable fabric (fabric such as pantyhose) in which an opening that is a wear mouth is largely cut so as not to be exposed from the pumps when worn. In addition, the foot cover according to the present invention may be a foot cover provided with a three-dimensional cushion material in a part of the sole portion to be described later. Socks may be used.

  The foot cover 100 is formed by a toe portion 102, a sole portion 104, a side portion 106, and a heel locking portion 108. And the opening part for taking in / out a leg on the opposite side to the up-and-down side with respect to the sole 104 is provided. The sole portion 104 does not have a size that covers the entire surface of the sole, but has a size that covers approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of the sole. The side portion 106 is connected to the heel locking portion 108 in the vicinity of the heel side end portion of the sole portion 104. Note that the toe portion 102, the side edge portion 106, and the heel locking portion 108 are knitted integrally, and the toe portion 102 and the side edge portion 106 are stitched to the sole 104.

The heel locking portion 108 forms an opening and is hooked by the heel when worn so that the foot cover 100 cannot be detached from the wearer's foot F.
In the foot cover 100, the toe portion 102, the side edge portion 106, and the heel locking portion 108 are formed of the same elastic fabric, and the sole portion 104 is formed of a different elastic fabric.

  In the foot cover 100, the sole portion 104, the toe portion 102, the side edge portion 106, and the heel locking portion 108 are not limited to the same fabric, and may be different fabrics. 106 and the hook locking portion 108 may not be integrally formed and may be formed of different fabrics. Further, in the foot cover 100, the toe portion 102, the side portion 106, and the heel locking portion 108 are the same lace-like or mesh-like stretchable fabric, and the sole portion 104 is neither lace-like nor mesh-like stretchable. Even if it is a sex cloth, it does not need to be a stretch cloth.

The features of the foot cover 100 will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 2 is a top view of the sole 104 of the foot cover 100 (the sole contact side), and FIG. 3 is a back view of the sole 104 of the foot cover 100 (the floor contact side). FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the side view when the foot cover 100 is worn.
In the foot cover 100, a toe-side elastic member having a three-dimensional solid shape provided corresponding to the position of the base of the toes (first to fifth toes) at a part of the sole 104. 104B and the heel side elastic member 104C having a three-dimensional shape provided corresponding to the positions of the arch, and the soles that cover the toe side elastic member 104B and the heel side elastic member 104C and fix the positions thereof A contact fabric 104A is provided. The toe side elastic member 104B and the heel side elastic member 104C are provided at positions where the wearer feels pain.

More specifically, the toe side elastic member 104B and the heel side elastic member 104C are sewn so as to be sandwiched between the sole contact side fabric 104A and the floor surface contact side fabric 104D. The toe side elastic member 104B and the heel side elastic member 104C are covered and fixed in position by the cloth 104A and the floor surface contact side cloth 104D.
It should be noted that at least one of the toe side elastic member 104B and the heel side elastic member 104C may be provided, and other elastic members may be provided at a position where the wearer feels pain, for example. Moreover, the fixing method of an elastic member is not limited to what is pinched | interposed and sewn with two above-mentioned fabrics, For example, you may fix by providing an adhesive layer.

  2B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of the top view (foot contact side) of the sole 104 shown in FIG. 2A, and FIG. 2C is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC. FIG. 2D is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD. As shown in these figures, the toe side elastic member 104B is a cushioning material such as silicon resin, elastomer, sponge, etc., whose toe side is higher than the heel side and whose body center side is higher than the outside of the body, and has a heel side elasticity The member 104C is a cushioning material such as silicone resin, elastomer, sponge, etc., whose toe side is higher than the heel side and whose body center side is higher than the outside of the body.

Note that the toe-side elastic member 104B and the heel-side elastic member 104C have no difference in the height in the front-rear direction and the height in the left-right direction, as shown by the dotted lines in FIGS. 2 (B) to 2 (C). It does not matter if there is no difference.
In any case, the toe side elastic member 104B and the heel side elastic member 104C have a three-dimensional shape. The shape of the elastic member may be a three-dimensional shape, and is not limited to the shape described above.

  Further, it is preferable that the toe side elastic member 104B and the heel side elastic member 104C, which are stitched by the sole contact side fabric 104A and the floor surface contact side fabric 104D, are formed of a single member. . Since the sole 104 is formed by sandwiching the elastic member formed of one member from the front and back with a cloth and stitching it, the positional relationship between the toe side elastic member 104B and the heel side elastic member 104C is shifted. It is preferable in that there is no.

  In addition, the floor surface contact side fabric 104D of the sole 104 is provided with a sole slip stopper 104E formed of a thin sheet of silicon resin or the like. The sole non-slip 104E can improve the adhesion with the inner bottom of the pump and prevent the position of the foot cover 100 from shifting in the pump. It is also conceivable to provide such a sole slip stopper on the side (inner side) with which the foot F is in contact, or only on the side (inner side) with which the foot F is in contact.

Furthermore, although not shown, it is also preferable to provide a heel slipper made of a thin sheet of silicon resin or the like on the foot F side (inner side) of the heel locking portion 108. Thereby, the adhesiveness with the heel of the foot F can be improved and the foot cover 100 can be prevented from being displaced from the foot F.
The effect when the wearer wears the foot cover 100 having the above structure on the foot F will be described.

As shown in FIG. 4, the toe side elastic member 104B and the heel side elastic member 104C are deformed in side view by the weight of the wearer and come into contact with the sole, part of which deforms according to the shape of the sole, Effects such as shock absorption by the cushioning material can be sufficiently exhibited.
In particular, the elastic members are two three-dimensional solid shapes of a toe side elastic member 104B provided at the base portion of the toes (first to fifth toes) and a heel side elastic member 104C provided at the arch portion. It is an elastic member provided with, and is not provided on the entire sole, but can provide a cushioning effect by limiting the base portion of the toe and the arch portion. That is, a sufficient effect can be exhibited as compared with the case where a flat cushion material is provided on the entire sole. Moreover, since it is a three-dimensional solid-shaped elastic member compared with the case where a flat cushion material is provided on a part of the sole, a sufficient effect can be exhibited.

In this way, the toe side elastic member 104B and the heel side elastic member 104C are located at a place where the wearer is likely to feel pain when wearing shoes such as pumps without the elastic member in other parts. In addition, since these elastic members have a three-dimensional structure, it is possible to further improve the comfort and the like.
In addition, when the foot cover 100 is worn and the user is walking with pumps or the like, the toe side elastic member 104B can suppress the foot F from slipping in the pumps and the like, together with the sole slip stopper 104E. It can be suppressed more.

As described above, according to the foot cover according to the present embodiment, the three-dimensional cushion material is disposed only at the position where the cushion effect is required, and the elastic member is not disposed at other portions, only the fabric. Or no fabric. As a result, effects such as shock absorption by the cushion material can be sufficiently exhibited.
The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims. For example, it is preferable that the foot contact side fabric 104A is formed of a water absorbent fabric because sweat sweat can be prevented.

  The present invention is suitable for a foot cover worn with bare feet, and is particularly preferable in that an effect such as shock absorption by a cushion material can be sufficiently exhibited.
