Description

  In particular, the present invention prevents raindrops falling from the trouser hem of rainwear that has been raised by taking a sitting posture from entering the boots directly or via socks when riding a bicycle or motorbike. The rainproof cover for short boots.

  You can't live in the rain. In particular, there is a long rainy season on the Sea of Japan side. Bicycles and motorbikes are indispensable vehicles for carrying out duties efficiently for newspaper deliverers and postal deliverers. By the way, those engaged in these occupations wear rainwear, but rarely wear boots. This is because boots become an obstacle to agile movement. Also, general office workers rarely wear boots. This is because boots cannot be worn in-house.

Due to the above circumstances, the combination of rainwear and shorts in the rain is not uncommon. However, it has been pointed out that in the combination of rain wear and short boots, raindrops falling from the pants hem of the rain wear enter the short boots directly or via the socks, causing a very unpleasant situation. Unpleasant situations occur particularly frequently when riding bicycles or motorbikes or during strong winds. The following proposals have been made for this problem.
Utility Model Registration No. 3056032 Utility Model Registration No. 3129269 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-33503 JP-A-10-168613 JP 2001-346603 A JP 2002-301 A

  The basic idea of these conventional proposals is the same, and by wearing a boots and wearing a boots-like cover, we try to prevent wetness of the lower limbs and intrusion of rainwater into the boots. (Products having such a purpose are hereinafter collectively referred to as “rain cover for boots”). However, individuality can be seen in the aspect of the rainproof cover for short boots as a means for realizing the gist of the proposal. For example, an aspect that is close to a large boot (see Patent Documents 2 and 5), a sock-shaped aspect that is entirely made of a very flexible material such as latex rubber (see Patent Document 3), and a hem of a raincoat A special one that is used in connection with (refer to Patent Document 4), an aspect that has an opening for exposing a heel portion of a boot on the bottom side (see Patent Documents 1, 4, and 6), and the like.

  The rainproof cover for boots has the following general requirements depending on its application. (1) Easy to put on and take off while wearing short boots, (2) Can be rolled up or folded to an appropriate size, (3) Small in weight when carried, (4) Walking Capable of responding to rainwater from indefinite directions due to movement, wind entanglement, water splashes, etc., (5) No danger or adverse effect on walking motion, (6) Appearance when worn It should be acceptable in a normal fashion sense, and (7) general versatility that can be used.

  The above requirement (1) is a basic requirement for rainproof covers for boots. If you can't put on and take off your boots while wearing your boots, you will have to put your boots in the rainproof cover for your boots in advance. This is because it cannot be applied to the most popular shoelace-type boots because the string cannot be tied. Moreover, even when applying to boots other than the shoelace type, it is not easy to wear the boots within the rainproof cover for the boots. On the other hand, when the requirement (1) is satisfied, the rainproof cover for boots must be unusually large (see Patent Documents 2 and 5), (6) This will greatly hinder the demand. When trying to satisfy both of the requirements (1) and (6), it is necessary to make the rainproof cover for the boots open and close greatly, but there is a requirement to completely prevent rain on the opening and closing part. As a result, the weight of the mobile phone and the cost increase.

  The above requirements (2) and (3) are for the convenience of carrying along with rainwear. This is to prepare for the rain before going home after going out. In the absence of this requirement, the actual frequency of use of rain protection covers for boots is significantly reduced. It is considered that the ones with a single-plate rubber bottom and the boots-shaped ones with excellent self-shape maintaining ability cannot meet the requirements of (2) and (3) (see Patent Documents 1, 2, 5 and 6). ).

  The above request (4) is a request for coping with the reality that rainwater cannot necessarily fall from the user's front diagonally upward direction. For example, to improve detachability while wearing short boots, In the case where the entire rear part of the rainproof cover is cut out (see Patent Document 6), the function of preventing the intrusion of rainwater is greatly impaired.

  The requirement (5) is a requirement for safety and a feeling of use when a rainproof cover for boots is used. This requirement is extremely important from the viewpoint of accident prevention. Normally, boots are accompanied by the movement of the foot, but if the rainproof cover for the boot does not follow the movement of the boot without fail, for example, it may cause a mistake in operating the foot brake when riding a motorbike or for boots when walking. There is a danger of inducing an accident where the rainproof cover of the door interferes with a step or the like and falls. This danger cannot be avoided in rainproof covers for short boots that attempt to satisfy the requirement (1) by increasing the size. The requirement of (5) cannot be satisfied sufficiently only by fastening the upper part of the rainproof cover for the short boots (see Patent Documents 3 and 5).

  Although the requirement (6) is a so-called appearance problem, it is a necessary requirement (see Patent Document 3).

  The request (7) is generally required to be easily available. This is because, if special usage requirements are required, the result is that even if the performance is good, it is not used (see Patent Document 4).

  Based on the above considerations, the present invention satisfies the above requirements (1) to (7) with respect to the rainproof cover for boots in a well-balanced manner. The purpose is to realize a completely integrated behavior of the rainproof cover and the short boots and to contribute to the prevention of falls accidents.

  As means for achieving this object, the present invention adopts the following configuration.

  According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a rainproof cover for a short shoe having a substantially long shoe shape capable of discriminating between a toe side and a heel side in a side view, and a cover body portion formed in a deformed cylindrical shape as a whole. A front end cap portion formed on the toe side of the body portion, a rear end cap portion formed on the heel side of the cover body portion, and a stretchable band that urges the rear end cap portion and the front end cap portion toward each other. Each of the cover body portion, the front end cap portion, and the rear end cap portion is formed of a water-impermeable soft resin material and integrated in a watertight manner, and the front end cap portion, the rear end cap portion, Are set to be thick enough to maintain the shape when molded, and the cover torso is set to a thin wall that can be freely deformed. Pass the tip cap to the toe of the boots. The flop portion with deposited, and depositing a rear cap portion to the heel portion of the shoe, characterized by the use in pressing down along the lower side of the cover body part to shoe by the band member.

  The rainproof cover for boots having the above-described configuration includes a cover body portion, a front end cap portion, a rear end cap portion, and a band member, and has a substantially boot shape as a whole. The front end cap part and the rear end cap part are separated from each other, and can be easily folded because they do not have a single plate-like bottom part that becomes an obstacle in folding. However, the front end cap part and the rear end cap part are continuous via the cover body part, and can be handled as one article in handling. Further, the cover body portion is formed in a thin wall that can be freely deformed, and the front end cap portion and the rear end cap portion are urged toward each other by the band member. As a result, even if the distance between the front cap portion and the rear end cap portion is large relative to the size of the boots, the rainproof cover for the short boots is formed by the front cap portion and the rear end cap portion. Is positioned between the toe side and the heel side by the tension of the band member. That is, this means that even when the rainproof cover for boots is set to a size that can be attached and detached while wearing the boots, when the rainproof cover for boots is worn, It fits securely without play against the boots, and can behave in the same way as the boots. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a sense of incongruity during walking and a fall accident or the like caused by an unexpected movement of the rainproof cover for the short boot without accompanying the behavior of the short boot. In addition, as for the wave-like deformation of the cover body part due to the change in the distance between the front end cap part and the rear end cap part, the lower end part of the cover body part is pressed by the band member, and unnecessary movement is prevented. Therefore, it does not become an obstacle in use.

  The rainproof cover for boots according to claim 2 of the present invention is provided with a gathered portion that is folded so as to be stretchable on the left and right side portions of the cover body portion, and this gather portion is formed over the entire length of the cover body portion. It is characterized by being formed.

  The rainproof cover for short boots having the above-described configuration is capable of expanding the size of the cover body part itself and the distance between the front end cap part and the rear end cap part by deforming the cover body so as to expand the gathered part. In addition, it is possible to reduce the size of the cover body itself and the distance between the front end cap part and the rear end cap part by returning the expanded gather part to be folded. In other words, the overall size of the rainproof cover for boots can be changed. Therefore, the overall size of the rainproof cover for boots can be increased and removed easily while wearing the boots, and the overall size of the rainproof cover for boots can be reduced so that it fits securely into the boots. it can. In addition, since the deformation | transformation of the cover trunk | drum at this time is a deformation | transformation based on the function of a gather part, it can prevent that the external appearance of a cover trunk | drum becomes rough.

  The rainproof cover for boots according to claim 3 of the present invention is characterized in that the band member is detachable with respect to either the front end cap portion or the rear end cap portion.

  The rainproof cover for short boots having the above-described configuration can select whether or not there is tension applied between the front end cap portion and the rear end cap portion by operating the band member. Therefore, it is possible to use it conveniently by removing the tension and wearing a rainproof cover for boots and applying the tension after wearing to realize operational integration with the boots.

  The rainproof cover for boots according to the present invention is applied to a cover body of a substantially boot-shaped cover that can be freely deformed, and to a tip cap portion that is attached to a toe portion of a boot to be protected from rainwater, and a heel portion of the boot. By forming the rear end cap part in a separated state, it is possible to change the distance between the front end cap part and the rear end cap part by deforming the cover body part, so the size of the rainproof cover for boots Even when wearing a short shoe with a large size that can be easily attached and detached, it is possible to reduce the distance between the tip cap part and the rear end cap part after wearing, and maintain the distance with an elastic band member. Therefore, the rainproof cover for the boots can be securely fitted to the boots. Therefore, it is possible to realize a feeling of wearing that does not cause a sense of incongruity due to the freedom of attachment and detachment while wearing short boots and the same behavior of the rain boots for the short boots and the boots. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a fall accident or the like due to the rain cover exercising without accompanying short boots and contribute to ensuring safety.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The rainproof cover 10 for boots includes a cover body portion 11 formed in a deformed cylindrical shape, a tip cap portion 12 formed on a toe side of the cover body portion 11, and a rear end cap formed on the heel side of the cover body portion 11. A substantially boot-like shape that includes a portion 13 and a stretchable band member 14 that urges the rear end cap portion 13 and the front end cap portion 12 toward each other so as to distinguish between the toe side and the heel side in a side view. (FIG. 1).

  The rainproof cover 10 for boots is made by blow molding a non-permeable resin material such as polyethylene, polypropylene, vinyl chloride, rubber resin, etc., and is necessary for blow molding, and is not necessary as the rainproof cover 10 for boots. Trimming the bottom that is part. That is, the rainproof cover 10 for short shoes does not have a bottom (shoe bottom) portion. For this reason, the anti-slip effect of the heel part of the shoe functions as it is. It is also possible to provide elasticity by arranging rubber on the outer periphery of the shoe sole side, or to remove the heel portion of the shoe (expose only the heel portion).

  The cover body 11 is formed in a thin thickness of 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm and can be freely deformed. However, gather portions 11G and 11G are formed on the side surface portions on both sides of the cover barrel portion 11 so as to cover the entire length of the cover barrel portion 11, and the gather portion 11G uses the free deformability of the cover barrel portion 11. Thus, the folding operation and the unfolding operation can be performed. The cover body part 11 is in a three-layered state in the gather part 11G. The cover body portion 11 is provided with self-supporting property by the reinforcing action of the gathered portion 11G whose normal state is the folded state, and can maintain an upright state. Note that the folding width V1 of the gather portion 11G is set to about 3.5 cm, and can be fixed in a folded state by the surface fastener 11M disposed on the inner surface of the gather portion 11G (FIG. 2).

  The tip cap portion 12 is formed in a shape that approximates the toe portion S1 of the boot S that is a protection target, and can be attached so as to be fitted into the toe portion S1. Similarly, the rear end cap portion 13 is formed in a shape that approximates the heel portion S2 of the short boot S, and can be attached so as to be fitted into the heel portion S2 (FIGS. 1 and 2). The front end cap portion 12 and the rear end cap portion 13 are formed to have a thickness of 3 mm to 5 mm, and the shape when formed can be maintained. However, deformation as a property of the material to be used is allowed. A hook 12F is provided at an upper center position of the front end cap portion 12, and a pair of upper and lower ribs 13T and 13T are provided to protrude from the rear end cap portion 13.

  The band member 14 is a solid rubber band having a sufficient expansion / contraction range, and is used by being hung between the hook 12F of the front end cap portion 12 and the upper and lower ribs 13T and 23T of the rear end cap portion 13.

  The rainproof cover 10 for boots having the above-described configuration can be easily attached and detached while wearing the boots S, and can be surely fitted to the boots S when worn. The rainproof cover 10 for short boots is attached / detached by removing the band member 14 from the hook 12F of the tip cap portion 12 and developing the folded gather portion 11G.

  When the folding width V1 of the gather portion 11G is set to 3.5 cm, the unfolded width V2 of the gather portion 11G is 7 cm (FIGS. 3A and 3B). That is, the size L2 of the rainproof cover 10 for short boots before deployment of the gathered portion 11G is enlarged by 7 cm (FIG. 2). Further, the longitudinal length of the upper opening 11H of the cover body 11 is also enlarged by about 7 cm (FIG. 3). As a result, the boots S can be easily passed through the cover body 11. Next, the front cap portion 12 and the rear cap portion 13 are positioned on the toe portion S1 and the heel portion S2 of the boot S, respectively, and the band member 14 is hung between the two, thereby preventing rain for the boots S. The cover 10 can be fixed. At this time, the gather portion 11G automatically returns to the folded state, the upper end side of the cover body portion 11 is restrained by the surface fastener 11M, and the lower end side is restrained by the band member 14.

  Since the size of the rainproof cover 10 for the boots changes significantly, a wide range of suitability can be exhibited for the boots S having different sizes. Moreover, since the rainproof cover 10 for short shoes does not have a bottom, it is also a big merit not to inhibit the function of the heel member S3 and the sole member S4 of the short shoes S to be protected.

  The rainproof cover 10 for boots can also be implemented as a form in which the gather portion 11G is omitted (FIG. 4).

  The rainproof cover 10 for boots without the gather portion 11G can be applied when the cover body portion 11 is formed of a thin material that cannot be maintained even if the gather portion 11G is formed. In this case, for example, a fastening string 15 can be provided at the upper end of the cover body 11. Further, the band member 14 has one end fixed to the front end cap portion 12 and the other end can be fastened to the rear end cap portion 13 with the button 14B, so that the lower end side of the cover body portion 11 with one hand. Can be fixed by the band member 14 while being folded and pressed in an appropriate state.

  The boots S shown in the above embodiment are for shoelace-type gentlemen, and are considered to be most popular and are examples of designs. Therefore, the front end cap part 12 and the rear end cap part 13 are designed for this type of boots. For example, when a high heel for women is to be protected, the front end cap part 12 and the rear end cap part 13 are provided. It is desirable to change the design of the cap portion 13 so as to be adapted to this type. This is because there is no general demand for the rainproof cover 10 for shorts to be shared by men and women.

It is a perspective view which shows embodiment of this invention. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view in the said embodiment. It is operation | movement explanatory drawing in the said embodiment. It is a side view which shows other embodiment of this invention.
