Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to slippers used indoors or indoors.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, various indoor or indoor slippers have been proposed.

FIG. 4 shows an example of such a conventional slipper.

[0004] The slipper 50 shown in FIG. 4A includes a middle plate 51 that is a portion on which a user's foot is placed, and an instep band 52 that covers the instep of the foot. The middle plate 51 includes a toe portion 51a, an upper portion 51b, and a heel portion 51c. The overall shape of the intermediate plate 51 is such that the width of the upper portion 51b is wide in accordance with the shape of the user's foot. In comparison, the width of the toe portion 51a and the heel portion 51c was smaller.

[0005] Further, as a material of the middle plate 51 and the instep belt 52, a normal plain woven fabric is used, and an instep contact portion 52a where the instep belt 52 contacts the instep is worn in consideration of durability. It was difficult and it was bordered with vinyl to avoid the adhesion of dirt.

[0006] Similarly, the slipper 60 shown in FIG. 4B is also composed of a middle plate 61 composed of a toe portion 61a, an upper portion 61b, and a heel portion 61c, and an upper band 62. The overall shape of 61 is such that the width of the instep 61b is wide and the width of the toe 61a and the heel 61c is narrow in comparison with the shape of the user's foot.

[0007] Similarly, the slipper 70 of FIG. 4C also includes a middle plate 71 including a toe portion 71a, an upper portion 71b, and a heel portion 71c, and an upper band 72. The width of the plate 71 was equal in the toe portion 71a, the upper portion 71b, and the heel portion 71c. Further, since the upper band 72 covers the toe portion 71a of the middle plate 71, it can be folded, and is designed for convenience of carrying.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 All of the above-mentioned conventional slippers play the role of slippers.However, the heel of the middle plate simply follows the old shape, and the user feels comfortable and easy to wear. It was not considered.

For example, the width of the insteps 51b and 61b and the heels 51c and 61c of the slippers 50 and 60 is along the width of the instep and heel of the user's foot. It had a low degree of freedom, and the heel protruded from the heel of the middle plate, even if the foot was slightly inclined with respect to the slipper. Conversely, in order to suppress such protrusion of the heel, the insteps 51b and 61b have a structure that does not allow much room in accordance with the instep of the foot, and the degree of freedom of the foot is small.

Further, taking the slipper 50 as an example, the middle plate 51 and the upper part 52 are made of a plain woven cloth, and the upper contact part 52a of the upper part 52 covering the instep is framed with vinyl or the like. Therefore, the feeling of contact with the instep of the foot was not soft, and as a whole, a tight fit was felt.

In the slipper 70, the shape of the middle plate 71 does not follow the shape of the foot but is a simple rectangular shape, but this is made in consideration of the user's feeling of wearing. Rather, it simply put a priority on portability and cost reduction at the expense of wearing comfort.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problem, and breaks the conventional concept of the shape of the slipper, which is conventionally determined, and provides the user with a soft and comfortable wearing feeling and a feeling of use. The aim is to provide soft slippers that will give and relax your feet and be kind to your tired feet.

[0013]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The soft slipper according to claim 1 is a slipper used indoors, and has a space in the upper part, and a width of a heel part which is equal to or larger than a width of the upper part. It is characterized by being widened.

This soft slipper allows the width of the instep to be wider than the width of the instep of the user, and slightly turns the foot in a state where the instep is covered by the instep of the ripper. Correspondingly, the width of the heel of the slipper is the same as or wider than the width of the upper, and the direction of the foot changes slightly inside the upper girdle. However, the heel of the foot does not protrude from the heel of the slipper.

Therefore, when worn, there is no feeling of cramping of the foot, the degree of freedom of the foot is high, and the user is given a soft and comfortable feeling of wearing and using. In addition, such a shape of the slipper has never existed in the past, and it is possible to appeal to the visual sense of the intended user and to attract interest.

The soft slipper according to the second aspect is the soft slipper according to the first aspect, wherein a material (fibers, leather, natural material) giving a soft touch is used as a material of the upper band and the middle plate. It is characterized by having been.

Here, materials (fibers, leathers, natural materials) that give a soft touch include natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, wool, acrylic, polyester, nylon, and synthetic fibers obtained by blending these. Such as knitted or piled fabrics made from a blend of natural and synthetic fibers, or plain woven but brushed fibers that produce a soft touch, sheep moutons, etc. A type of leather, such as natural leather or artificial leather, that is thicker than ordinary plain woven cloth and gives a soft feel when touching the cloth. Furthermore, especially for the middle plate, natural materials such as rush or bamboo or rattan woven or woven may be used.

Further, particularly when used as a material for the middle plate, even a normal plain woven fabric does not significantly affect the user's wearing feeling. Furthermore, even when ordinary plain woven fabric is used as the material of the instep, as described later, by using a foam material or the like as the core material, the feeling of contact is not soft, but the In this case, a plain woven fabric may be used as the material of the upper sash, because flexibility makes it possible to prevent a tight fit.

This soft slipper is made of a material that gives a soft touch as a material of the middle plate and the instep, which comes into direct contact with the user's foot. It gives the user a feeling, relaxes his feet, and is gentle on tired feet.

[0020]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 is a front view showing an example of the soft slipper of the present invention.

The soft slipper 10 shown in FIG. 1A includes a middle plate 1 on which a user's foot is placed, and an instep band 2 covering the instep of the foot.

The middle plate 1 includes a toe portion 1a, an upper portion 1b, and a heel portion 1c, and an upper band 2 is attached to the upper portion 1b. The overall shape of the middle plate 1 is determined by taking into account the shape of the user's foot F, and further taking the degree of freedom of the foot when worn into consideration, to increase the width of the upper 1b. The width of the leg 51b is larger than the width of the slipper 10, and the direction of the foot can be slightly changed with respect to the direction of the slipper 10 inside the instep belt 2.

More specifically, the width of the upper part 51b of the middle plate 51 of the conventional slipper 50 for a normal adult is 7 cm to 8 cm, compared with the upper part 1 of the middle plate 1 of the soft slipper 10. The width of b is 11 cm to 14 cm. In addition, the width of the instep here excludes the instep band, and the width of the instep is accommodated according to the thickness of the material used as the material of the instep and the middle plate. It will change to ensure the same.

As described above, the width of the heel 1c is the same as the width of the upper 1b in response to the provision of the upper 1b.

In this way, as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 1A, the user's foot F can change its orientation to some extent inside the instep 2 of the slipper 10, Further, even when the direction is changed, the heel of the foot F does not protrude from the heel portion 1c of the middle plate 1 of the slipper 10. Therefore, the user does not have a feeling of cramping of the foot, has a high degree of freedom of the foot, and gives the user a soft and comfortable feeling of wearing and using.

The slipper 10A of FIG. 1B has a more square shape than the slipper 10 of FIG. 1A, but the width of the heel 1c of the middle plate 1 is smaller than that of the upper 1b. They are common in that they are the same or slightly wider than the width.

Even in this case, the same effect is exerted.

Although the width of the heel portion 1c of the middle plate 1 is clearly wider than the width of the upper portion 1b, the slipper 10B of FIG. 1 (c) exerts the same effect in this case.

The slippers 10, 10 A, and 10 B have an elliptical shape, a slightly wide rectangular shape, and an elongated trapezoidal shape, unlike conventional slippers, and are intended to be used by slippers. It appeals to the visual sense of the person and arouses interest.

FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of an example of the soft slipper of the present invention. Therefore, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

The middle plate 1 of the slipper 10 has a somewhat rigid core plate 13 on which a foam material (including a sponge) 12 is placed only on a portion corresponding to a heel portion. For example, it is configured to be covered with a cloth 11 such as a knit fabric or a pile fabric.

Other materials that give a soft feel include fibers such as brushed plain woven fabric, for example, boa fabric, leather such as sheep mouton, and especially, as described above. For the middle board, natural materials such as rush or bamboo or rattan woven or woven may be used.

The upper band 2 is configured by covering a core 22 using a somewhat thick sponge or urethane with a cloth 21 giving a soft feel similar to the above.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a backing substrate used in a normal slipper, and reference numeral 4 denotes a bottom plate used in a normal slipper.

The slipper 10 covers the middle plate 1 and the instep belt 2 which are in direct contact with the user's foot F with the cloths 11 and 21 giving a soft feeling. It gives the user a soft feeling of wear, relaxes the feet and is gentle on tired feet.

In particular, the instep contact part 2a where the instep belt 2 contacts the instep of the foot F also has a structure in which the core 22 using sponge or urethane is covered with a cloth 21 giving a soft touch. Gives a soft feel to the instep and less restraint on the foot.

Although such a structure is common to the slippers 10A and 10B described with reference to FIG. 1, the feature of this structure is that the middle plate and the instep which directly contact the user's foot are provided with a soft touch. It is covered with the given material, and the other points are not limited.

The sponge 12 inserted into the heel portion 1c of the middle plate 1 has a function of slightly raising the heel of the foot F toward the toe while further increasing the soft feel. By wearing (10B), the user can maintain a more stable and relaxed posture with the toes lowered somewhat.

FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing another example of the soft slipper of the present invention.

The features of the soft slipper of the present invention are that the upper has a space and the width of the heel is the same as or wider than the upper, and the shape of the entire slipper is only in the above example. It is not limited.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), a slipper 10C is provided with a step on the heel to make it wider with respect to the instep, a dharma-type slipper 10D as shown in FIG. 3 (b), or FIG. A gourd-type slipper 10E as shown in (c) may be used.

[0042]
