Description

本発明は、フットカバーおよびフットカバーの製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a foot cover and a method of manufacturing a foot cover.

従来、２枚の生地を接合することで形成された２枚剥ぎのフットカバーが知られている。２枚剥ぎのフットカバーでは、一般的に、着用者の足底を覆う足底生地とその他の部分を覆う側面生地とをミシンで縫製することで形成される。 Conventionally, a two-ply foot cover formed by joining two fabrics is known. A two-piece foot cover is generally formed by sewing a sole fabric covering the sole of the wearer's foot and a side fabric covering other parts with a sewing machine.

この種のフットカバーに関し、特許文献１には、２枚の生地を接着テープで接合されることにより無縫製で形成されるフットカバーが記載されている。また、特許文献２には、足を左右に分割した形状の生地を中央で縫合することにより形成されるレッグウェアが記載されている。 Regarding this type of foot cover, Patent Literature 1 describes a foot cover that is seamlessly formed by joining two fabrics with an adhesive tape. Further, Patent Document 2 describes legwear formed by stitching together pieces of fabric in the shape of left and right legs.

<Structure of Foot Cover 100>
An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a foot cover 100 in a worn state according to this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a developed view showing the shape of the fabric 1 of the foot cover 100. As shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a side view showing a state in which the foot cover 100 folded in the width direction of the foot is viewed from the side of the outer side portion 4B.

図１に示すように、本実施形態に係るフットカバー１００は、足Ｆの爪先を覆う爪先部２、足Ｆの踵を覆う踵部３、足Ｆの両側面を覆う２つの側辺部４（４Ａ・４Ｂ）、足Ｆの足裏を覆う足底部５を含む本体部１０１を備えるフットカバーである。本体部１０１には、足底部５と反対側に足Ｆを出し入れするための開口部である履き口６が形成される。側辺部４のうち、足Ｆの親指側側面を覆う部分が内側側辺部４Ａであり、足Ｆの小指側側面を覆う部分が外側側辺部４Ｂである。 As shown in FIG. 1, the foot cover 100 according to this embodiment includes a toe portion 2 covering the toe of the foot F, a heel portion 3 covering the heel of the foot F, and two side portions 4 covering both side surfaces of the foot F. (4A and 4B), a foot cover provided with a body portion 101 including a sole portion 5 covering the sole of the foot F. The body portion 101 is formed with a shoe opening 6 that is an opening for putting in and taking out the foot F on the side opposite to the sole portion 5 . The portion of the side portion 4 that covers the side surface of the foot F on the big toe side is the inner side portion 4A, and the portion that covers the side surface of the foot F on the little toe side is the outer side portion 4B.

なお、以下、本明細書において、本体部１０１（フットカバー１００）を足幅方向に折り畳んだ状態とは、左右の側辺部４である内側側辺部４Ａと外側側辺部４Ｂとが互いに正対するように、本体部１０１を足幅方向に略二等分する中心線Ｒに沿って本体部１０１を折り畳んだ状態をいう。この中心線Ｒは、本体部１０１を足幅方向に概ね二等分する線であればよく、本体部１０１を足幅方向に二等分する線、および該線から多少のずれを有する線を含む。換言すれば、中心線Ｒは、本体部（足底部５）の足幅方向の略中間点を通る足長方向に延びる線である。 Hereinafter, in this specification, the state in which the body portion 101 (foot cover 100) is folded in the foot width direction means that the inner side portion 4A and the outer side portion 4B, which are the left and right side portions 4, are It refers to a state in which the body portion 101 is folded along the center line R that substantially bisects the body portion 101 in the foot width direction so as to face each other. The center line R may be a line that roughly bisects the body portion 101 in the foot width direction. include. In other words, the center line R is a line that extends in the lengthwise direction of the foot and passes through substantially the middle point of the main body portion (the sole portion 5) in the widthwise direction of the foot.

図２に示すように、本実施形態に係る本体部１０１は、所望の形状に裁断された１枚の生地１から構成される。生地１において、符号Ｐで示す側が本体部１０１の爪先部２側となり、これに対して符号Ｑで示す側が本体部１０１の踵部３側となる。生地１は、展開した状態で足底部５側が繋がった形状である。生地１は、爪先側外縁に第１被接合部１１および第２被接合部１２を有する。また、生地１は、踵側外縁に第３被接合部１３および第４被接合部１４を有する。第１被接合部１１と第２被接合部１２、並びに、第３被接合部１３と第４被接合部１４とは、生地１を左右に略二等分する中心線Ｒに対して対称な形状である。生地１の外縁において符号１５で示す、中心線Ｒを挟んで互いに対向する２つの外縁は接合されず、本体部１０１の履き口６を形成する。 As shown in FIG. 2, the main body 101 according to the present embodiment is composed of one piece of cloth 1 cut into a desired shape. In the fabric 1, the side indicated by P is the toe portion 2 side of the body portion 101, and the side indicated by Q is the heel portion 3 side of the body portion 101. As shown in FIG. The fabric 1 has a shape in which the sole portion 5 side is connected in an unfolded state. The cloth 1 has a first part to be joined 11 and a second part to be joined 12 on the outer edge on the toe side. In addition, the fabric 1 has a third joined portion 13 and a fourth joined portion 14 on the outer edge on the heel side. The first part to be joined 11 and the second part to be joined 12, and the third part to be joined 13 and the fourth part to be joined 14 are symmetrical with respect to the center line R that bisects the fabric 1 substantially into left and right. Shape. Two outer edges of the fabric 1 facing each other across the center line R, indicated by reference numeral 15 , are not joined to form the opening 6 of the main body 101 .

図３に示すように、本体部１０１は、足幅方向に折り畳んだ状態の側面視において、履き口６を除く外縁１０のうちの一部だけが接合されることにより、足Ｆを収容可能な袋状に形成される。本実施形態では、本体部１０１は、爪先部２から履き口６の爪先側端部６Ａへ至る爪先側外縁に沿って、生地１の爪先側の端部同士を接合する第１接合部（接合部）７が形成される。また、本体部１０１は、踵部３から履き口６の踵側端部６Ｂへ至る踵側外縁に沿って、生地１の踵側の端部同士を接合する第２接合部（接合部）８が形成される。第１接合部７は、図２に示す第１被接合部１１と第２被接合部１２とが接合されて形成される。また、第２接合部８は、図２に示す第３被接合部１３と第４被接合部１４とが接合されて形成される。 As shown in FIG. 3, the body portion 101 can accommodate the foot F by joining only a portion of the outer edge 10 excluding the opening 6 in a side view in a state of being folded in the width direction of the foot. Formed into a bag shape. In this embodiment, the body portion 101 includes a first joint portion (joint portion) that joins the toe-side ends of the material 1 along the toe-side outer edge from the toe portion 2 to the toe-side end portion 6A of the opening 6. part) 7 is formed. In addition, the body portion 101 includes a second joint portion (joint portion) 8 that joins the heel-side ends of the fabric 1 together along the heel-side outer edge extending from the heel portion 3 to the heel-side end portion 6B of the opening 6. is formed. The first joint portion 7 is formed by joining the first joint portion 11 and the second joint portion 12 shown in FIG. The second joint portion 8 is formed by joining the third joint portion 13 and the fourth joint portion 14 shown in FIG.

このように、本体部１０１の外縁１０のうち、本体部１０１の爪先側外縁および踵側外縁が接合されることにより足Ｆを収容可能な袋状に本体部１０１が形成される。 In this way, of the outer edge 10 of the main body 101, the toe-side outer edge and the heel-side outer edge of the main body 101 are joined to form the main body 101 in the shape of a bag capable of accommodating the foot F.

本体部１０１の生地１は、伸縮性を有するものであればよく、例えば編地が好ましいが、織地であってもよい。生地１の素材には、例えばナイロンまたはポリエステル等を用いることができる。また、生地１の形状は、図２に示すように中心線Ｒに対して左右対称であってもよいが、本体部１０１の形状を左右の足Ｆの形状に合わせる場合、生地１は左右非対称であってもよい。さらに、生地１として裁断部の後始末が必要のない生地（以下、切りっぱなし生地）を用いた場合、本体部１０１の製造時に履き口６の端部が解れなくするための処理を行う必要がなくなる。このため、生地１として切りっぱなし生地を用いることが好ましい。 The fabric 1 of the main body 101 may be any stretchable fabric. For example, a knitted fabric is preferable, but a woven fabric may be used. For example, nylon or polyester can be used as the material of the cloth 1 . The shape of the fabric 1 may be bilaterally symmetrical with respect to the center line R as shown in FIG. may be Furthermore, if a fabric that does not require trimming of the cut part (hereinafter referred to as uncut fabric) is used as the fabric 1, it is necessary to perform processing to prevent the end of the opening 6 from unraveling when manufacturing the main body 101. disappears. For this reason, it is preferable to use raw cut dough as the dough 1 .

なお、フットカバー１００は、生地１よりも足Ｆに対して高い摩擦力を有する素材で形成された滑り止め部９を踵部３の内側に備えていてもよい。これにより、フットカバー１００のずれ・脱げを低減することができ、ずれ・脱げによる履き心地の低下を抑えることができる。滑り止め部９の素材は、生地１よりも高い摩擦力を有しているものであれば特に限定されない。例えば、滑り止め部９としてシリコン等の素材を用いることができる。なお、滑り止め部９は、本体部１０１の接合前に生地１に取り付けてもよく、本体部１０１の接合後に生地１に取り付けてもよい。 The foot cover 100 may be provided with an anti-slip portion 9 inside the heel portion 3 formed of a material having a higher frictional force against the foot F than the fabric 1 . As a result, it is possible to reduce slippage and come-off of the foot cover 100, and to suppress deterioration of wearing comfort due to slippage and come-off. The material of the non-slip portion 9 is not particularly limited as long as it has a higher frictional force than the fabric 1 . For example, a material such as silicon can be used as the non-slip portion 9 . It should be noted that the non-slip portion 9 may be attached to the cloth 1 before the body portion 101 is joined, or may be attached to the cloth 1 after the body portion 101 is joined.

また、第１接合部７および第２接合部８は、本体部１０１の内部に形成されてもよく、外部に形成されてもよい。本体部１０１の内部に第１接合部７および第２接合部８が形成される場合、第１接合部７および第２接合部８が外部から視認されない。このため、フットカバー１００の美観を向上させることができる。一方、本体部１０１の外部に第１接合部７および第２接合部８が形成される場合、第１接合部７および第２接合部８が足Ｆに接触しないため、履き心地が向上する。 Also, the first joint portion 7 and the second joint portion 8 may be formed inside the body portion 101 or may be formed outside. When the first joint portion 7 and the second joint portion 8 are formed inside the main body portion 101, the first joint portion 7 and the second joint portion 8 are not visible from the outside. Therefore, the appearance of the foot cover 100 can be improved. On the other hand, when the first joint portion 7 and the second joint portion 8 are formed outside the main body portion 101, the first joint portion 7 and the second joint portion 8 do not come into contact with the foot F, so that the wearing comfort is improved.

また、第１接合部７および第２接合部８の形成方法、すなわち生地１を接合する方法は、縫製接合であってもよいし、無縫製接合であってもよい。無縫製接合によれば、縫製接合よりもフットカバー１００の伸縮性が高くすることができる。ここで、縫製とは、糸状の別材を使用して生地と生地とを綴じ合わせる方法全般を指すものとし、綴じ合わせる方法（縫い方）および糸の種類は限定されない。無縫製接合は、例えば超音波融着、接着テープの貼付、熱融着、捺染、または接着剤の塗布等である。一例として、第１被接合部１１または第２被接合部１２に接着剤をプリントし、第１被接合部１１と第２被接合部１２とを重ねた後、重ね合わせた部分に熱を加えて融着させる方法によってフットカバー１００が形成される。この場合、接着剤の一例として、ポリウレタンが用いられる。他の接合方法の例の具体的な内容については後述する。なお、接合の方法は、上述の方法に限られず、さらに他の方法が用いられてもよい。 Moreover, the method of forming the first joint portion 7 and the second joint portion 8, that is, the method of joining the fabrics 1 may be sewing joining or non-sewing joining. The non-sewn joint can make the foot cover 100 more stretchable than the sewn joint. Here, the term "sewing" refers to a method in general for binding fabrics together using a thread-like separate material, and the binding method (sewing method) and the type of thread are not limited. Non-sewing bonding includes, for example, ultrasonic fusion, application of an adhesive tape, heat fusion, printing, or application of an adhesive. As an example, an adhesive is printed on the first part to be joined 11 or the second part to be joined 12, the first part to be joined 11 and the second part to be joined 12 are overlapped, and then heat is applied to the overlapped part. The foot cover 100 is formed by a method of fusing together. In this case, polyurethane is used as an example of the adhesive. Specific contents of examples of other joining methods will be described later. The joining method is not limited to the method described above, and other methods may be used.

以下、フットカバー１００における接合の方法の例について説明する。なお、以下の説明では、図２に示す第１被接合部１１と第２被接合部１２とが接合される場合について説明するが、第３被接合部１３および第４被接合部１４についても同様である。なお、各被接合部における接着は、例えば線状、点状、または波状など特に限定されない。ただし、点状であれば、生地の伸縮性を阻害しないためより好ましい。 An example of a joining method for the foot cover 100 will be described below. In the following description, the first part to be joined 11 and the second part to be joined 12 shown in FIG. 2 are joined, but the third part to be joined 13 and the fourth part to be joined 14 are also It is the same. Note that the adhesion at each to-be-joined portion is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, linear, dotted, or wavy. However, if it is in the form of dots, it is more preferable because it does not hinder the stretchability of the fabric.

（超音波溶着）
第１被接合部１１と第２被接合部１２とは、例えば、超音波溶着によって接合される。超音波溶着とは、生地１の第１被接合部１１と第２被接合部１２とを重ね、超音波振動と加圧をかけることによって、生地１の接合面に摩擦熱を発生させ、瞬時に溶融し接合する方法である。接合に超音波融着を用いる場合、フットカバー１００の生地１にはナイロンまたはポリエステル等の合成繊維が用いられる。 (Ultrasonic welding)
The first part to be joined 11 and the second part to be joined 12 are joined by, for example, ultrasonic welding. Ultrasonic welding involves overlapping the first part to be joined 11 and the second part to be joined 12 of the fabric 1 and applying ultrasonic vibration and pressure to generate frictional heat on the joining surface of the fabric 1, instantly It is a method of melting and joining. When ultrasonic fusion is used for joining, synthetic fibers such as nylon or polyester are used for the fabric 1 of the foot cover 100 .

（接合部材）
第１被接合部１１と第２被接合部１２とは、例えば接着テープを用いて接合されてもよい。接着テープとは、アクリル系・シリコン系等の樹脂、または合成ゴム等の粘着性の材料からなり、シームテープミシン等を用いることで当該接着テープを加熱融着させることで、生地１同士が接合される。 (joining member)
The first part to be joined 11 and the second part to be joined 12 may be joined using an adhesive tape, for example. The adhesive tape is made of resin such as acrylic or silicone, or adhesive material such as synthetic rubber. be done.

（熱融着）
第１被接合部１１と第２被接合部１２とは、例えば、熱融着によって接合されてもよい。熱融着とは、生地１の第１被接合部１１と第２被接合部１２とを重ね、重ね合させた部分に熱を加えて融着させる方法である。この方法によると、接合される生地１の伸縮性を損なわずに接着することができる。 (heat fusion)
The first part to be joined 11 and the second part to be joined 12 may be joined by, for example, heat sealing. Thermal fusion bonding is a method in which the first portion to be bonded 11 and the second portion to be bonded 12 of the fabric 1 are overlapped and heat is applied to the overlapping portions to fuse them together. According to this method, the fabrics 1 to be joined can be adhered without impairing their stretchability.

（接着剤）
第１被接合部１１と第２被接合部１２とは、例えば、接着剤によって接合されてもよい。生地１の第１被接合部１１と第２被接合部１２とを重ね合わせ、重ね合わせた部分にジェット塗布機等を用いて接着剤を塗布し、熱融着によって接合する。または、加熱しなくとも接合できる接着剤を塗布して接合してもよい。接着剤は、リキッドタイプ樹脂、フィルムタイプまたはパウダータイプの接着剤等を用いることができる。また、接着剤の素材としては、ポリウレタン、ナイロン、ポリアミド、エチレン・酢酸ビニル、オレフィン、スチレン、またはブタジエン等を用いることができる。 (glue)
The first part to be joined 11 and the second part to be joined 12 may be joined with an adhesive, for example. The first part to be joined 11 and the second part to be joined 12 of the material 1 are superimposed, the superposed parts are coated with an adhesive using a jet applicator or the like, and the parts are joined by heat fusion. Alternatively, an adhesive that can be bonded without heating may be applied and bonded. A liquid type resin, a film type or a powder type adhesive or the like can be used as the adhesive. As the material of the adhesive, polyurethane, nylon, polyamide, ethylene/vinyl acetate, olefin, styrene, butadiene, or the like can be used.

次に、接合工程にて、裁断した生地１を足幅方向に略二等分する中心線Ｒに沿って折り畳んだ状態で、履き口６を除く生地１の外縁の一部を接合して本体部１０１を形成する。具体的には、第１被接合部１１と第２被接合部１２とを接合し、第１接合部７を形成する。また、第３被接合部１３と第４被接合部１４とを接合し、第２接合部８を形成する。これにより、足Ｆを収容可能な袋状の本体部１０１が形成される。 Next, in the joining step, the cut fabric 1 is folded along the center line R that bisects the width of the foot, and a part of the outer edge of the fabric 1 excluding the opening 6 is joined to form the main body. A part 101 is formed. Specifically, the first joint portion 11 and the second joint portion 12 are joined to form the first joint portion 7 . Further, the third joined portion 13 and the fourth joined portion 14 are joined to form the second joint portion 8 . As a result, a bag-like body portion 101 capable of accommodating the foot F is formed.

なお、接合工程にて、第１被接合部１１および第２被接合部１２を互いに重ねて、超音波溶着し、溶着された領域のうち余分な重ね部をカットして、第１接合部７を形成してもよい。さらに、フットカバー１００を踵部３側から見た状態において、第１接合部７が延伸する方向に沿って、第１接合部７上に帯状の接合部材を貼ってもよい。さらに第１接合部７を、当該帯状の接合部材によって接合してもよい。これにより、第１接合部７の厚みを薄くすることができ、履き心地が向上する。第２接合部８についても同様である。 In the joining process, the first joined portion 11 and the second joined portion 12 are overlapped with each other and ultrasonically welded. may be formed. Furthermore, when the foot cover 100 is viewed from the heel portion 3 side, a band-shaped joint member may be attached on the first joint portion 7 along the extending direction of the first joint portion 7 . Furthermore, the first joint portion 7 may be joined by the belt-like joining member. As a result, the thickness of the first joint portion 7 can be reduced, and the wearing comfort is improved. The same applies to the second joint portion 8 as well.

＜フットカバー１００の効果＞
本実施形態に係るフットカバー１００は、足Ｆの爪先を覆う爪先部２と、足Ｆの踵を覆う踵部３と、足Ｆの足裏を覆う足底部５とを含み、足Ｆを出し入れする履き口６が足底部５とは反対側に形成された本体部１０１を備える。本体部１０１を足幅方向に略二等分する中心線Ｒに沿って本体部１０１を折り畳んだ状態の側面視において、履き口６を除く外縁１０の一部に第１接合部（７）および第２接合部（８）が形成される。第１接合部（７）は、外縁１０のうち、爪先部２から履き口６の爪先側端部６Ａへ至る爪先側外縁に形成され、第２接合部（８）は、踵部３から履き口６の踵側端部６Ｂへ至る踵側外縁に沿って形成される。 <Effect of foot cover 100>
The foot cover 100 according to the present embodiment includes a toe portion 2 covering the toe of the foot F, a heel portion 3 covering the heel of the foot F, and a sole portion 5 covering the sole of the foot F. A main body portion 101 is formed on the side opposite to the sole portion 5 to wear the opening 6 . In a side view of the main body 101 folded along the center line R that bisects the main body 101 in the widthwise direction of the foot, the outer edge 10 except for the opening 6 has the first joint (7) and A second joint (8) is formed. The first joint portion (7) is formed on the toe-side outer edge of the outer edge 10 from the toe portion 2 to the toe-side end portion 6A of the opening 6. It is formed along the heel-side outer edge leading to the heel-side end portion 6B of the mouth 6 .

フットカバー１００は、接合工程にて第１被接合部１１および第２被接合部１２と、第３被接合部１３および第４被接合部１４とを接合することで本体部１０１が形成される。このため、フットカバー１００では、従来のフットカバーよりも接合部が少ないので、生地の伸縮性が損なわれにくい。 In the foot cover 100, the body portion 101 is formed by joining the first joined portion 11 and the second joined portion 12 and the third joined portion 13 and the fourth joined portion 14 in a joining step. . Therefore, since the foot cover 100 has fewer joints than the conventional foot cover, the stretchability of the fabric is less likely to be impaired.

また、第１接合部７および第２接合部８は、略同一平面上に存在する。このため、立体的な複数平面にわたって接合部が形成される従来のフットカバーに比べて接合が容易であり、一度の位置合わせで生地を接合するができる。これにより、フットカバー１００の製造における接合工程を簡略化することができ、従来よりも生産性を向上させることができる。 Also, the first joint portion 7 and the second joint portion 8 are present on substantially the same plane. For this reason, joining is easier than in conventional foot covers in which joints are formed over a plurality of three-dimensional planes, and fabrics can be joined by one-time alignment. As a result, the bonding process in manufacturing the foot cover 100 can be simplified, and productivity can be improved more than before.

したがって、本実施形態によれば、接合部を減らすことで履き心地の低下を抑え、生産性を向上させたフットカバー１００を提供することができる。 Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the foot cover 100 that reduces the number of joints to suppress deterioration in wear comfort and improves productivity.

＜変形例＞
上述した実施形態では、爪先部２および踵部３の外縁の生地１が接合されることで本体部１０１が形成されていたが、他の部分を接合することで本体部１０１を形成してもよい。図４は、本発明の変形例に係る着用状態のフットカバー１００Ａの外観を示す斜視図である。図４に示すように、フットカバー１００Ａでは、足底部５に第３接合部１６を有する。 <Modification>
In the above-described embodiment, the body portion 101 is formed by joining the outer edge fabrics 1 of the toe portion 2 and the heel portion 3, but the body portion 101 may be formed by joining other portions. good. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a foot cover 100A in a worn state according to a modification of the invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the foot cover 100A has a third joint portion 16 on the sole portion 5. As shown in FIG.

図５は、生地１Ａの形状を示す展開図である。図５に示すように、生地１Ａは、外縁において、爪先側端部から踵側端部までの領域の一方に第５被接合部１７を有し、他方に第６被接合部１８を有する。本体部１０１は、生地１Ａの第５被接合部１７と第６被接合部１８とを接合することによって、足Ｆを収容可能な袋状に形成される。一例として生地１Ａは、図５に示すように、中心線Ｒに対して対称な楕円形状である。生地１Ａは、踵側端部に近い位置に、中心線Ｒに対して対称な楕円形状の開口部を有する。生地１Ａにおいて、第５被接合部１７と第６被接合部１８とが接合された部分は、図４に示す本体部１０１の第３接合部１６となる。 FIG. 5 is a developed view showing the shape of the fabric 1A. As shown in FIG. 5, the fabric 1A has a fifth bonded portion 17 on one side and a sixth bonded portion 18 on the other side of the outer edge from the toe side end to the heel side end. The body portion 101 is formed into a bag shape capable of accommodating the foot F by joining the fifth joined portion 17 and the sixth joined portion 18 of the cloth 1A. As an example, the fabric 1A has an elliptical shape symmetrical with respect to the center line R, as shown in FIG. The cloth 1A has an elliptical opening symmetrical with respect to the center line R at a position near the heel side end. In the fabric 1A, the portion where the fifth to-be-joined portion 17 and the sixth to-be-joined portion 18 are joined becomes the third joint portion 16 of the main body portion 101 shown in FIG.

図６は、足幅方向に折り畳んだ状態のフットカバー１００Ａを外側側辺部４Ｂ側から見た状態を示す図である。図６に示すように、フットカバー１００Ａにおいて、足幅方向に折り畳んだ状態のフットカバー１００Ａを外側側辺部４Ｂ側から見た場合、第３接合部１６は、フットカバー１００Ａの外縁１０に位置する。換言すると、フットカバー１００Ａでは、外縁１０のうち、足底部５の爪先側端部から踵側端部までが接合される。このとき、第３接合部１６は、略同一平面上に形成されるため、フットカバー１００Ａは、１度の接合で本体部１０１の全体が形成される。これにより、フットカバー１００Ａの製造における接合工程を簡略化することができ、従来よりも生産性を向上させることができる。 FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which the foot cover 100A folded in the foot width direction is viewed from the side of the outer side portion 4B. As shown in FIG. 6, in the foot cover 100A, when the foot cover 100A is folded in the foot width direction and viewed from the side of the outer side portion 4B, the third joint portion 16 is positioned at the outer edge 10 of the foot cover 100A. do. In other words, in the foot cover 100A, of the outer edge 10, the sole portion 5 is joined from the toe-side end to the heel-side end. At this time, since the third joint portion 16 is formed on substantially the same plane, the entire body portion 101 of the foot cover 100A is formed by one joint. As a result, the joining process in manufacturing the foot cover 100A can be simplified, and productivity can be improved more than before.

なお、フットカバー１００Ａを形成するための生地１Ａの形状は、上述したものに限られなし。生地１Ａの形状は、本体部１０１全体が形成される際、足底部５に第３接合部１６が形成されればよい。 The shape of the cloth 1A for forming the foot cover 100A is not limited to that described above. As for the shape of the fabric 1A, the third joint portion 16 may be formed on the sole portion 5 when the entire body portion 101 is formed.

また、上述した実施形態では、フットカバー１００の本体部１０１は、１枚の生地１のみによって構成されていたが、生地１とは別の生地等の素材を付加してもよい。すなわち、フットカバー１００は、本体部１０１に異なる生地１Ｂが積層されていてもよい。図７は、変形例に係る着用状態のフットカバー１００Ｂの外観を示す斜視図である。図７に示すように、フットカバー１００Ｂでは、本体部１０１の足底部５に異なる生地１Ｂが積層されている。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the main body portion 101 of the foot cover 100 is made of only one sheet of cloth 1, but a material other than the cloth 1 may be added. That is, the foot cover 100 may have the body portion 101 laminated with a different fabric 1B. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a foot cover 100B in a worn state according to a modification. As shown in FIG. 7, in the foot cover 100B, a different fabric 1B is laminated on the sole portion 5 of the body portion 101. As shown in FIG.

図８は、生地１に生地１Ｂを付加した状態を示す図である。一例として、図８に示すように、生地１の足底部５に該当する部分に綿混素材等の生地１Ｂを乗せ、第１接合部７および第２接合部８の接合と同時に生地１Ｂを生地１に接合してもよい。具体的には、生地１Ｂの外縁部に接着剤等を塗布し、接着剤が塗布された側が生地１に接触するように生地１Ｂを載置する。次に、生地１および生地１Ｂを中心線Ｒに沿って折る。このとき、生地１は生地１Ｂを挟み込むように折り畳まれる。その後、生地１および生地１Ｂを加熱し、熱圧着を行う。これにより、足底部５に生地１Ｂが付加的に接合されたフットカバー１００Ｂを形成することができる。なお、フットカバー１００Ｂを製造する場合、製造時の工程を減らすため、接合方法として無縫製接合を用いることが好ましい。 FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a state in which the fabric 1B is added to the fabric 1. FIG. As an example, as shown in FIG. 8, a cloth 1B such as a cotton blend material is placed on a portion corresponding to the sole portion 5 of the cloth 1, and the first joint portion 7 and the second joint portion 8 are joined simultaneously with the cloth 1B. 1 may be joined. Specifically, an adhesive or the like is applied to the outer edge of the fabric 1B, and the fabric 1B is placed so that the side to which the adhesive is applied is in contact with the fabric 1. As shown in FIG. Next, fabric 1 and fabric 1B are folded along the center line R. At this time, the cloth 1 is folded so as to sandwich the cloth 1B. After that, the fabric 1 and the fabric 1B are heated and thermocompression bonded. Thereby, a foot cover 100B in which the fabric 1B is additionally joined to the sole portion 5 can be formed. It should be noted that when manufacturing the foot cover 100B, it is preferable to use a non-sewing bonding method as a bonding method in order to reduce the number of manufacturing steps.

上述の方法によると、生地１Ｂを積層した場合であっても、一度の接合でフットカバー１００Ｂの全体を形成することができるため、別途接合の工程を追加する必要がなく、高い生産性を維持することができる。なお、積層される生地１Ｂは、綿混生地以外の素材であってもよい。例えば、生地１Ｂとして、蒸れを抑制するための吸湿性・吸水性を有する素材、消臭性を有する素材、クッション性を有する素材、または足底部５とフットカバー１００Ｂの他の部分とのずれを低減するための滑り止めを積層してもよい。これにより、フットカバー１００Ｂの履き心地をさらに向上させることができる。また、生地１Ｂが積層される箇所は、足底部５でなくともよい。例えば、生地１の爪先部２を形成する領域にクッション性を有する素材等の生地１Ｂを積層して接合を行うことでフットカバー１００Ｂを形成してもよい。 According to the above-described method, even when the fabrics 1B are laminated, the entire foot cover 100B can be formed by one-time bonding, so there is no need to add a separate bonding process, and high productivity can be maintained. can do. Note that the laminated fabric 1B may be a material other than the cotton mixed fabric. For example, the fabric 1B may be a hygroscopic/water-absorbent material for suppressing stuffiness, a deodorizing material, a cushioning material, or a material that prevents the sole 5 from slipping from other parts of the foot cover 100B. Antiskid may be laminated to reduce slippage. Thereby, the comfort of wearing the foot cover 100B can be further improved. Also, the location where the fabric 1B is laminated may not be the sole portion 5 . For example, the foot cover 100B may be formed by laminating and bonding a cloth 1B such as a material having a cushioning property to the region of the cloth 1 where the toe portion 2 is to be formed.
