Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0101]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a shoe fastener, and more particularly, to a shoe fastener that can be attached to a string hole instead of a conventional shoelace, and that can be easily attached / detached and can improve fashionability.

[0092]

[Prior art]

 There are various methods for fixing shoes to feet, but the most common method is to lace up shoelaces by alternately inserting them through a plurality of string holes arranged on the left and right sides of the front of the shoe. It is a way to tie both ends of the string when putting on shoes. By tightening and squeezing the shoelace, the shoe can be fitted more firmly than slip-on shoes.

[0093]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, in the case of the fixed shoelace type, since it is necessary to release the strap each time the shoe is taken off, it must be re-tied the next time the shoe is worn, and it takes a lot of time to attach and detach the shoe. Of course, it is customary to tie the shoelaces relatively loose so that they can be removed without releasing the straps. The property (just fit) is also impaired. In the process of alternately inserting one shoelace through the left and right strap holes, the degree of squeezing can be adjusted according to the purpose of use of the shoe and personal preference, and the length of the last remaining end It is surprisingly difficult to make adjustments to balance the left and right, and often it is necessary to start over. Furthermore, since it is not easy to replace the laced shoelaces, the laced shoelaces usually continue to be used unless they are cut or washed. Therefore, it was not suitable to change the shoelace design according to the mood of the day.

This device has been devised in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. In addition to the fact that the shoes can be easily attached and detached, the shoes can be firmly fixed to the foot at the time of attachment, and can be attached to and detached from the cord holes. It is an object of the present invention to provide a shoe fastener which is extremely easy.

[0056]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, a shoe fastener according to the present invention includes a stretchable fastening member and a plurality of fixing members connected to a plurality of locations of the fastening member. The fastening member is fixed to the shoelace hole via the fixing member. In addition, the fixing member includes at least an insertion portion that is engaged with the string hole of the shoe, and a pair of drop-off prevention portions that are arranged at both ends of the insertion portion and that prevent the insertion portion from dropping out of the string hole. The insertion portion is detachably engaged with the cord hole.

By fixing a plurality of fixing members connected to the fastening member to different string holes, the fastening member can be bridged between the string holes. For example, when this fastening member is formed of a rubber string, both ends thereof are fixed to the string holes arranged on the left and right via fixing members. It is desirable to prepare five fasteners for shoes in which five rows of string holes are formed, and to interpose a fastening member between all the string holes arranged side by side.

The fixing member and the fastening member may be connected in advance, but insertion holes are provided at a plurality of positions of the fastening member, and the insertion portions of the fixing member are fastened to the string holes. By passing the fixing member through the insertion hole of the member, the fixing member may be engaged with the cord hole, and at the same time, the connection between the fixing member and the fastening member may be realized.

Since the fastening member has elasticity, if the fastening device is attached to shoes, the fastening member can be temporarily moved by the force of the foot without removing the fastening device. It can be easily attached and detached by stretching.

The fastening member may be, for example, an elastic band, a coil spring, or the like, in addition to the rubber string. Further, the fastening member may be configured by a net-like body formed by knitting rubber strings or a planar body having elasticity. In the case of a band or a coil spring, both ends of the band and the coil spring may be engaged with the left and right string holes, as in the case of the rubber string. It is desirable that a plurality of locations (ends) in the above be engaged with a plurality of string holes arranged on the left and right via respective fixing members. As a result, an elastic net-like body or a plane-like body is interposed between a plurality of rows of string holes arranged on the left and right.

[0010] Since the insertion portion of the fixing member is detachably engaged with the cord hole, the fastener of the shoe can be easily removed as necessary. As a result, it is possible to prepare fasteners in various colors and designs in advance, and to replace them with arbitrary fasteners according to the mood and action schedule of the day. Further, according to the purpose of use of the shoe, it is possible to freely select other fastening tools having different strengths, expansion / contraction degrees, tensions, and the like of the fastening members. For example, if it is used for ordinary walking in a city, priority should be given to ease of attachment and detachment by forming the fastening member with a material that can expand and contract with relatively weak force. On the other hand, when applied to climbing shoes or sports shoes, the fastening member is formed of a material that does not expand or contract unless a relatively strong force is applied, and it is easier to attach and detach It may be necessary to give priority to fixation.

[0011] The detachability of the insertion portion is realized by, for example, detachably connecting at least one of the drop-off preventing portions to the insertion portion. More specifically, one of the falling-off preventing portions of the fixing member is formed by a head portion of a bolt having a dimension larger than the diameter of the string hole, and a screw shaft portion of the bolt is used as an insertion portion (screw portion). The diameter of the shaft is set smaller than the diameter of the string hole.) In addition, as the other drop-off preventing portion, a nut having a size larger than the diameter of the string hole and being screwed to the screw shaft portion is used. As a result, the fixing member is firmly connected to the string hole by inserting the screw shaft portion of the bolt from one side into the string hole and tightening the nut on the opposite side. By loosening the nut, the fixing member can be easily removed from the string hole. Incidentally, the bolt and a fastening member such as a rubber string may be connected in advance, or when the bolt and the nut are screwed together, an insertion hole provided at an end of the fastening member may be screwed into the screw of the bolt. You may make it connect by penetrating a shaft part.

[0012] Alternatively, one of the falling-off preventing portions of the fixing member is constituted by a head portion of an internal screw bolt having a size larger than the diameter of the string hole, and a cylindrical portion of the internal screw bolt is used as an insertion portion. (The diameter of the cylindrical portion is set smaller than the diameter of the cord hole.) In addition, as the other drop-prevention portion, a head portion having a size larger than the diameter of the cord hole and the above-mentioned inner threaded cylindrical portion are screwed. A bolt having a screw shaft portion to be combined may be used. In this case, the tubular member of the inner screw bolt is inserted into the cord hole from one side, and the bolt is screwed into the tubular portion on the opposite side, whereby the fixing member is firmly connected to the cord hole. Also, by loosening the bolt, the fixing member can be easily removed from the string hole.

[0013] The protrusion provided on one of the fall-prevention portions and the protrusion provided on the other fall-prevention portion are detachably connected to each other to form an insertion portion. Nature can be realized. In other words, if the projections of the drop-off preventing portions are inserted from both the front and back surfaces of the shoelace and the two are connected, the insertion portion is engaged with the shoelace. On the other hand, if the above connection is released, the insertion portion will come off the string hole.

[0014]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 As shown in FIG. 1, a shoe fastening device 10 according to the present invention includes a fastening member 16 interposed between a pair of string holes A pair of fixing members 18 for detachably fixing both ends of the member 16 to the cord holes 14 are provided. In principle, the fastener 10 of the shoe is interposed between all the strap holes 14 of the shoe 12, but some strap holes 14 may be left open depending on the purpose of use. The fastening device 10 is typically passed between the string holes 14, 14 of the same step arranged side by side. However, as shown in the figure, the fastening device 10 is interposed between the stepped string holes 14, 14 in an intersecting manner. It can also be done.

The fastening member 16 is made of a material having elasticity (for example, a strong rubber string), and as shown in FIG. 2, a metal ring having insertion holes 22 at both ends of the rubber string 20. The bodies 24, 24 are connected by swaging. This annular body 24 may be made of a resin or the like.

As shown in FIG. 3, the fixing member 18 includes a bolt 26 and a hexagon nut 28. The bolt 26 has a head 30 having a diameter larger than the diameter of the string hole 14 and a screw shaft portion 32 having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the string hole 14. The vertical and horizontal dimensions of the hexagon nut 28 are each set to be larger than the diameter of the string hole 14.

In order to fix the fastening member 16 to the string hole 14, first, the screw shaft portion 32 of the bolt 26 is inserted through the one annular body 24 and the string hole 14, and a hex nut 28 is provided on the opposite side of the string hole 14. Screw. Next, the other annular body 24 of the fastening member 16 is similarly fixed to another string hole 14 by using a bolt 26 and a hexagon nut 28. The annular body 24 may be arranged on the front side of the string hole 14 or on the back side.

As a result, both ends of the fastening member 16 are fixed to the pair of cord holes 14, 14 via the annular body 24 and the bolt 26. In addition, by unscrewing the bolt 26 and the hexagon nut 28, the bolt 26 and the hexagon nut 28 can be easily removed and replaced with another fastener 10. Since the fastening member 16 is constituted by the elastic elastic cord 20, if the fastening tool 10 is attached between the string holes 14, 14 of the shoe 12, the same as when the shoelace is tied In addition, the shoe 12 can be fitted tightly to the foot, and the shoe 12 can be easily taken off or worn by applying pressure to the foot and temporarily stretching the fastening member 16. Further, by selectively attaching the fastening members 16 arbitrarily colored, the taste of the shoes 12 can be easily changed, and the fashionability can be enhanced.

By forming the head 30 of the bolt 26 into a circle having a diameter larger than the diameter of the string hole 14 as shown, the string hole 14 is completely hidden. For this reason, it is possible to further enhance the design effect of the shoe 12 by applying beautiful coloring or an arbitrary logo mark to the head 30 of the bolt 26. However, since the main purpose of the head 30 of the bolt 26 is to function as one of the “drop-off preventing portions” for preventing the screw shaft portion 32 as the “insertion portion” from falling off from the string hole 14, It is not always necessary to provide a shape that completely covers the cord hole 14. If at least either the vertical dimension or the horizontal dimension is set to be larger than the diameter of the cord hole 14, the object of preventing the screw shaft portion 32 from falling off can be achieved. Of course, the head 30 of the bolt 26 can be formed in a heart shape, a star shape, or the like from the viewpoint of improving fashionability. The shape of the nut 28 does not need to be formed in a hexagonal shape as described above, and any shape may be used as long as the nut 28 can function as the other “drop-off preventing portion”.

FIG. 4 shows another fixing member 18, which is characterized in that an internal screw bolt 34 is used instead of the hexagon nut 28. The inner screw bolt 34 has a head 36 having a diameter larger than the diameter of the string hole 14 and a cylindrical portion 38 having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the string hole 14. In order to fix the fastening member 16 to the string hole 14 using the fixing member 18, the cylindrical portion 38 is inserted through the annular body 24 of the fastening member 16 and the string hole 14, and a bolt is provided on the opposite side of the string hole 14. What is necessary is just to screw together the screw shaft part 32 of 26 and the internal screw 40 of the cylindrical part 38. That is, in the fixing member 18, the cylindrical portion 38 of the inner screw bolt 34 corresponds to the "insertion portion", and the head 36 of the inner screw bolt 34 and the head 30 of the bolt 26 each correspond to the "fall-out preventing portion". Will be done.

In the above description, an example is shown in which one of the drop-off preventing portions and the insertion portion are integrated, and the other drop-off preventing portion is detachably screwed to the fixing portion 18. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a cylindrical body 42 as an independent “insertion part” is inserted into the string hole 14 and the annular body 24, and screw holes 44, 46 formed at both ends thereof are respectively “prevented from falling off”. The screw shaft portions 32, 32 of the bolts 26, 26 as "parts" may be detachably screwed. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, a first member including a head portion 48 as a “fall prevention portion” having a diameter larger than that of the cord hole 14 and a columnar protrusion 50 connected to the head portion 48. 52, a head 49 having a diameter larger than that of the string hole 14, and a second member 54 having a columnar projection 51 connected to the head 49. The fixing member 18 is formed, and a screw shaft portion 58 projecting from the tip of the projection of the second member 54 is detachably screwed into a screw hole 56 drilled at the tip of the projection of the first member 52. You can also do so. In this case, the “insertion portion” is formed by the connection between the projection 50 of the first member 52 and the projection 51 of the second member 54. Of course, when the connection between the projections 50 and 51 is released, the insertion portion comes off the string hole 14 of the shoe 12 and the annular member 24 of the fastening member 16, so that the fastening member 16 can be replaced. The method of engagement between the insertion portion and the falling-off prevention portion is not limited to screwing as described above, and although not shown, the one engagement projection and the other engagement recess are detachably attached. You may comprise so that it may fit.

FIGS. 7 to 11 show an example in which the fastening member 16 is formed of a material other than the rubber cord 20. First, the fastening member 16 in FIG. 7 is characterized in that a coil spring 60 is used in place of the rubber cord 20, and a metal or resin annular body 24 having insertion holes 22 at both ends thereof is connected. Have. If the fastening member 16 is attached to the string hole 14 of the shoe 12 using the fixing member 18 described above, the elasticity of the coil spring 60 increases the adhesion between the shoe 12 and the foot, and the shoe can be easily taken off. You can also. Although not shown, a rubber string for reinforcement may be inserted into the coil spring 60.

The fastening member 16 in FIG. 8 is formed by a band-shaped body 62 made of a material having a certain elasticity (for example, rubber or soft plastic), and circular insertion holes 22 are formed at both ends. Have been. A metal eyelet 64 is attached to the circumference of the insertion hole 22 to reinforce the strength. When the insertion hole 22 of the fastening member 16 is attached to the string hole 14 of the shoe 12 by using the fixing member 18 described above, the elasticity of the band-shaped body 62 increases the adhesion between the shoe 12 and the foot, and also facilitates You can also take off your shoes. Unlike the rubber cord 20 and the coil spring 60, the band-shaped body 62 has a relatively large width, so that a logo mark, a character, or the like can be designed, and the decorative effect can be enhanced.

The fastening member 16 in FIG. 9 is a modified example of the fastening member 16 shown in FIG. 8, and is different from the fastening member 16 in that a plurality of insertion holes 22 are formed on both left and right end sides of an elastic band-shaped body 62. (In the figure, three insertion holes 22 are provided, respectively). As a result, by appropriately selecting the insertion hole 22 to be engaged with the insertion portion of the fixing member 18, the length of the fastening member 16 interposed between the left and right cord holes 14, 14 can be adjusted. Even if there is some variation in the distance between the string holes 14, 14, there is an advantage that it can be flexibly handled.

In the fastening member 16 in FIG. 10, instead of attaching the annular body 24 to the rubber string 20, both ends of the rubber string 20 are folded in an annular shape and fixed by wires 66 or the like, thereby forming the insertion hole 22. It is characterized by points. Although not shown in the drawings, the fastening member 16 may be formed by integrally forming an annular portion having insertion holes 22 at both ends of a rubber string.

The fastening member 16 in FIG. 11 is constituted by a mesh 68 formed by weaving rubber cords vertically and horizontally, and a metal having insertion holes 22 along the left and right sides of the mesh 68. An annular body 24 made of resin or resin is attached. Each of the annular members 24 of the fastening member 16 is detachably fixed to each of the cord holes 14 by using the fixing member 18 described above, so that the front surface of the shoe 12 is covered with the elastic net 68 having elasticity. Becomes Instead of providing the annular body 24, the mesh 69 itself of the mesh body 68 can be used as an insertion hole. Although not shown in the drawings, instead of the net-like body 68, a sheet-like body made of a material having elasticity such as rubber and provided with a plurality of insertion holes on both left and right sides may be used.

Each of the shoe fasteners 10 described above allows the cord hole 14 and the fastening member 16 to pass through the insertion portion of the fixing member 18 through the insertion hole 22 provided at the end of the fastening member 16. However, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, as shown in FIG. 12, the fastening member 16 and the fixing member 18 may be connected in advance, and the fixing member 18 may be detachably engaged with the cord hole 14 of the shoe 12. The fixing member 18 is formed of a material having a certain degree of flexibility (for example, soft plastic or the like), and projections 74 and 76 are integrally formed inside the upper surface 70 and the lower surface 72, respectively. ing. When attaching the fixing member 18 to the string hole 14, the upper surface 70 and the lower surface 72 are opened outward and the string hole 14 is arranged between the projections 74 and 76, and then the upper surface 70 and the lower surface What is necessary is just to press the 72 inward and fit the other spherical convex portion 80 into one spherical concave portion 78. In this case, the two projecting portions 74 and 76 combined correspond to the “insertion portion”, and the upper surface portion 70 and the lower surface portion 72 each correspond to the “fall prevention portion”. When replacing the fastener 10, the upper surface 70 and the lower surface 72 may be opened again to release the engagement between the concave portion 78 and the convex portion 80.
