Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 This invention relates to slippers that can also be used as hooks, sandals, sandals, etc.

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, slippers have been used as lightweight footwear that can be used freely indoors and outdoors, and have been manufactured from materials having various functions, and various decorations have been devised and added. For example, various materials such as synthetic rubber, plastic materials such as vinyl chloride resin, polyurethane resin, and foamed plastic, and inorganic materials have been combined to produce products with high functionality and decorativeness. . One such decoration is to attach beads made of plastic or the like to the upper part of the slipper.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, if a large number of beads are attached to the upper by passing a thread, the rigidity of the upper may increase and the edge of the upper may rub the slipper wearer's foot strongly, which may make the slipper less comfortable to wear. The challenge of this invention is to attach the beads to the instep of the slipper so that the slipper will not be uncomfortable.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is directed to a device having a bottom portion and an upper portion formed of a sheet-like base material straddling the bottom portion in the width direction, and a portion between the two portions is a foot of a wearer. This is a slipper formed so as to allow insertion of a plurality of beads, and a number of beads are attached to the surface of the sheet-like base material via a thread. The features of this invention in such slippers are as follows. The beads form a plurality of rows along an edge of the sheet-like substrate extending across the bottom. Among the plurality of rows, at least one row of the beads located in the immediate vicinity of the edge is connected to other beads located in the vicinity of the bead via the yarn, and one row located in the immediate vicinity of the edge By fixing only the rows of beads located on the inner side of the sheet-shaped base material to the sheet-shaped base material, the large number of beads are attached to the surface of the sheet-shaped base material. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sheet-like base material is band-shaped, and has a front edge located on a toe side of a slipper wearer and a rear edge located on an ankle side. At least one row of the beads located at least in the vicinity of the trailing edge among the front and rear edges is connected to other beads located in the vicinity of the beads, and only the rows of beads located inside the one row are the beads. It is fixed to a sheet-like substrate. In a slipper having such a configuration, a conventional material can be appropriately used for a bottom portion of the slipper having an upper surface that abuts on the sole of the slipper wearer and a bottom surface that abuts on the floor or the ground. The upper part in contact with is formed by a sheet-like substrate and a number of interconnected beads arranged thereon. Beads in a row in the immediate vicinity of at least one of the front and rear edges of the upper are not fixed to the sheet-like base material of the upper. When beads are attached to the entire surface or a part of the sheet-like substrate, even if the sheet-like substrate is made of soft cloth, elastic plastic, rubber, etc., the sheet-like substrate becomes rigid when the beads are fixed to these. Wearing such slippers can be uncomfortable due to the instep being tightened or rubbed, and may not be worn for long periods of time. A flexible woven fabric, non-woven fabric, plastic sheet, etc. will be used for the sheet base material of the upper part. The beads attached to the upper surface of the sheet-like substrate are made of any material. In order to enhance the decorativeness, it is possible to use those colored in various colors, those having high glitter, transparency, and light reflectivity, and those having various shapes such as a sphere, a cube, and a polyhedron. . A small hole is formed in the center of the bead, through which a thread can be passed to connect the bead and fix it to the sheet-like substrate. The beads that are connected to each other in a row form at least one of the toe side (front side) and the ankle side (rear side) of the sheet-shaped base material, preferably the first row closest to the ankle edge. Are not fixed to the sheet-like substrate. Also, preferably, the beads up to the second row in addition to the first row are not fixed to the sheet-like base material and can move relatively freely, and the third row and the inside of the third row are not fixed. Beads are fixed to the sheet-like substrate.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details of the slipper according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A slipper 1 shown in a perspective view in FIG. 1 has a bottom 2 and an upper 3. The bottom portion 2 has an upper surface 2A that contacts the sole of the slipper wearer's foot and a lower surface 2B that contacts the floor surface. The upper and lower surfaces 2A and 2B are formed to have an appropriate thickness. The upper part 3 has a sheet-like base material 4 extending so as to straddle the bottom part 2 in the width direction in a band shape, and a number of beads B arranged on the upper surface thereof. The sheet-shaped base material 4 has a front edge 4A located on the toe side of the slipper wearer and a rear edge 4B located on the ankle side, and has both side edges 4C, 4D extending between these front and rear edges 4A, 4B and the same. The vicinity is fixed to the vicinity of the side edge of the bottom portion 2 by means such as suturing. The foot of the slipper wearer is inserted between the bottom 2 and the upper 3, and the upper of the foot comes into contact with the lower surface of the sheet-shaped substrate 4A. FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged plan view of the upper part 3. The front edge 4A and the rear edge 4B of the sheet-shaped base material 4 are parallel to each other, and a large number of beads B form a row parallel to the front and rear edges 4A, 4B. For example, the first row of beads 5 located immediately adjacent to the leading edge 4A is connected to the second row of beads 6 only by the thread 11, and the second row of beads 6 is connected to the first row of beads 5 by the thread 11. The third row of beads 7 is connected to the third row of beads 7 by a thread 11, and the third row of beads 7 is connected to the second row of beads 6 and the fourth row of beads 8 and passed through the beads 7. The yarn 11 is fixed to the sheet-like substrate 4 by passing a part of the yarn 11 through the sheet-like substrate 4 near the beads 7. The beads in the fourth and subsequent rows are also sequentially connected to the beads on the inner side of each row. In the trailing edge 4B, the beads 35 in the n-th row, which are located in the immediate vicinity thereof, and more preferably the beads 36 in the (n-1) -th row further inside, are connected to each other by the beads B. However, it is not fixed to the sheet-like substrate 4. Here, that the beads B are fixed means that the beads B cannot substantially move with respect to the upper surface of the sheet-like substrate 4. 3 and 4 are a view taken along the line III-III in FIG. 1 and a view taken along the line IV-IV in FIG. 2, wherein the foot 30 inserted between the bottom 2 and the instep 3 is indicated by an imaginary line. It is shown. A reference numeral 11A is a reference numeral 11A for a portion of the yarn 11 connecting the beads B to each other, and a portion of the yarn 11 extends through the base material 4 so as to fix the beads B to the sheet-like base material 4. Reference numeral 11B is assigned to 11. As shown in the figure, when the beads B are attached, in the vicinity of the front and rear edges 4A and 4B of the sheet-like base material 4, when the foot moves in the direction of arrow A, the first and second rows and the n and n-1 rows. The beads 5, 6, 35, 36 move relatively freely upward without being constrained by the sheet-shaped substrate 4. Therefore, the sheet-shaped base material 4 does not give a feeling of pressing on the instep of the foot or a feeling of strongly rubbing by exerting its flexibility. In this manner, the slipper 1 can eliminate the inferior comfort that tends to be present on the instep portion that is hard and difficult to deform. The yarn 11 for connecting and fixing the beads B is preferably a plastic strand having high abrasion resistance, high strength and small elongation, for example, a nylon strand. In the present invention, if the beads B in a row in the immediate vicinity of the leading edge 4A and the trailing edge 4B of the sheet-like substrate 4 are arranged so as not to hinder the flexible movement of the sheet-like substrate 4, The arrangement of the rows of beads B inside the rows is not limited to the illustrated example, and the arrangement thereof can be freely determined. Further, the sheet-like base material 4 shown as a band-like material may be made so as to cover the toe of the wearer instead. In the sheet-like base material 4 including the one in this embodiment, at least the first row of beads B formed immediately adjacent to at least the rear edge 4B of the front and rear edges 4A, 4B, that is, the n-th row of FIG. It is preferable that the beads 35 are not fixed to the sheet-like substrate 4A. By doing so, at least the trailing edge 4B of the sheet-shaped substrate 4 during walking is relatively freely deformed, and the instep is not stimulated. The diameter of the beads B used is not particularly limited, but the effect of the present invention becomes remarkable when the diameter is 3 to 10 mm. In the illustrated example, the front and rear edges 4A and 4B extending in a straight line can be replaced by at least one of the edges forming a curve.

[Effect of the invention]

 In the slipper according to the present invention, the rows of beads attached to the sheet-like base material forming the upper part are fixed to the sheet-like base material immediately near at least one of the front and rear edges of the sheet-like base material. Since the sheet-shaped base material can move relatively freely without being pressed, the sheet-like base material does not strongly press or rub against the instep of the wearer.
