Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a string hole structure in athletic shoes and the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Shoes similar to athletic shoes usually have a front opening formed in the upper front of the upper to provide a comfortable fit and fixation for the user's foot, and a tongue for protecting the foot is placed in this opening. With its lower end fixed to the front of the instep, along the front edges of the inner cover (which is located inside the foot) and the outer cover (which is located outside the foot) forming the opening A plurality of string holes are formed, and shoelaces are passed through these string holes alternately.

[0003] Among such cord hole structures, an example of an athletic shoe provided with the cord hole structure proposed by the applicant is shown in Figs. The shoe comprises a sole 1 made of natural or synthetic rubber and an upper 2 provided with a foot insertion opening 14 at the upper end. A front opening 3 is formed on the upper front of the upper 2 and a tongue is formed in the opening 3. 4, the lower end of which is fixed to the inner surface of the upper part of the upper shell, and a plurality of cord holes 7, 8, 8. 9, 10 'and 11' are formed, and shoelaces 12 are alternately passed through these strap holes in a crossed state, and the free ends thereof are fixed with strap fasteners 13 or directly without fasteners. Band together. Usually, two or more string holes are formed at the front edge of the inner and outer shells, respectively.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, with the above-mentioned cord hole structure, the force for holding the shoe on the foot is not sufficient, the shoe is not sufficiently held on the foot, and a sufficient fit cannot be obtained. When the cause was investigated, since the shoelaces 12 were biased toward the front of the upper 2, sufficient holding power did not reach the part where the inner and outer uppers 5 and 6 wrapped the feet, and walking and As the vehicle ran, the sides of the inner and outer shells separated from the feet, indicating that sufficient foot could not be obtained. In particular, this problem is remarkable in shoes having a small number of string holes as shown in FIGS. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a string hole structure that can obtain a sufficient holding force when having a relatively small number of string holes.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve such a problem, the present invention has found that a sufficient holding force for the foot can be obtained by devising the arrangement of the string holes. That is, in the present invention, a front opening is formed on the upper side of the front of the upper, the tongue is arranged in the opening, the lower end is fixed to the inner surface of the front of the upper, and a plurality of string holes are provided on both sides of the opening. The sports shoe is formed so that shoelaces are alternately passed through these strap holes in a crossing state, and the uppermost strap hole is provided at a position corresponding to the lower part of the ankle. Preferably, the position of the uppermost strap hole is provided within a range of one third of the total length of the shoe plus or minus 1 cm. Further, the position of the uppermost cord hole is preferably set in a range of 1/2 to 1/2 plus 1 cm of the height from the bottom edge of the instep to the bottom edge of the ankle accommodating bottom of the foot hole.

[0006] The arrangement of the string holes can be made up of only a lowermost position below the opening in the front part of the upper, an intermediate position on both sides of the lower end of the opening, and an uppermost position provided on both sides of the upper end of the opening. Here, the uppermost part means the one located at the uppermost part in the order of hanging the shoelaces, but is not necessarily higher than the intermediate position. The shoelace structure of the present invention works well with such a minimum number of shoe holes and can provide sufficient holding force.

[0007] Further, the cord hole at the intermediate position is formed by eyelets formed on a piece of cloth sewn on the upper, thereby facilitating the insertion of the shoelace. Further, the cord hole at the lowermost position is a cloth loop sewn on the front part of the upper to facilitate the insertion of the cord and firmly hold the shoelace. On the other hand, the uppermost shoe hole is a through hole formed in the upper and a metal fitting fitted into the through hole, and provides a sufficient holding force. In addition, the free end of the shoelace through the top strap hole can be stopped by a fastener.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 illustrate an athletic shoe and a cord hole structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the shoe comprises a sole 1 made of natural or synthetic rubber and an upper 2 provided with a foot insertion opening at the upper end, and a front opening 3 is formed on the upper front of the upper 2 and this opening is formed. A tongue 4 is disposed on 3 and the lower end thereof is fixed to the inner surface of the front part of the upper, and a plurality of string holes are provided on both sides of the front edge of the inner upper 5 and the outer 6 of the upper forming the opening 3. Form. The strap hole is formed at the lowermost position below the opening at the front of the upper, by a loop 7 formed from a cloth piece sewn to the front of the upper, and at the lower end of the opening 3 by the inner and outer shells 5, 6. The eyelet 8 (the string hole at the middle position) attached to the sewn cloth piece and the inner and outer shells 5 and 6 are separated from the edge of the opening 3 downward and rearward on both sides of the upper end of the opening 3. It consists of the uppermost string holes 10 and 11 (11 is located on the outer shell) provided with through holes and attached with eyelets.

[0009] Here, the uppermost portion means the one located at the uppermost portion in the order of the shoelaces, but is not necessarily higher than the intermediate position. The shoelace structure of the present invention can function sufficiently even in such a minimum number of shoe holes, and can provide a sufficient holding force.

[0010] The shoelaces 12 are alternately passed through these strap holes from the bottom in an intersecting manner, and the free ends thereof are fixed by string fasteners 13 or directly bound without using fasteners. Two or more lace holes are formed on both sides of the front edge opening of the inner and outer shells. However, two shoes are sufficient for shoes to which the present invention is applied, and the positions of the lace holes are equal in the right and left fastening force. Thus, the desired effect can be sufficiently exerted even in the illustrated example in which the antennas are provided substantially symmetrically and one is provided at the center at the lower end position.

The uppermost string holes 10 and 11 are located below the ankles of the foot, and if provided at least at positions corresponding to the front ends thereof, the holding force is increased and a comfortable fit is obtained. Preferably, this position is within one third of the total length of the shoe plus or minus one centimeter, and is one-half to two-half the height from the bottom edge of the upper to the ankle-housing bottom edge of the foot insertion opening 14. In the range of 1 plus 1 cm.

[0012] The arrangement of the cord holes can be made up of only the lowermost position below the opening in the front part of the upper part, an intermediate position on both sides of the lower end of the opening, and an uppermost position provided on both sides of the upper end of the opening. Here, the uppermost part means the one located at the uppermost part in the order of hanging the shoelaces, but is not necessarily higher than the intermediate position. The shoelace structure of the present invention works well with such a minimum number of shoe holes and can provide sufficient holding force.

[0013] Preferably, the cord holes 8, 9 at the intermediate position are formed by eyelets formed on a cloth piece 8 'sewn to the inner and outer shells 5, 6, so that the shoelace can be easily inserted. Preferably, when the cord hole 7 at the lowermost position is formed by a cloth loop 7 sewn to the front part of the upper, the insertion of the cord 12 becomes easy and the shoelace 12 is firmly held. On the other hand, the uppermost string holes 10 and 11 are formed of through holes formed in the upper shell and eyelets fitted in the through holes, and provide a sufficient holding force (holding force). Further, the free end of the shoelace 12 through the uppermost strap holes 10, 11 can be stopped by the fastener 13.

[0014]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, in a shoe such as athletic shoes or jogging shoes, the position of the uppermost strap hole is devised, so that a sufficient holding force and fitting property can be obtained even with a relatively small number of strap holes. As a result, comfortable wearability is obtained.
