Description

  The present invention relates to a boot used for foot bath, and more particularly, to a foot bath boot capable of walking in a worn state.

In order to clean the body and recover from fatigue, people take a bath, wash their body, use the hot water in the bathtub to promote blood circulation and improve their metabolism.
However, in order to recover from fatigue, for example, boiling a bath several times a day and bathing in hot water is physically difficult, and it is time for a competitor to bathe in hot water between competitions. It was not possible.
Therefore, the techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 shown below have been proposed.

Patent Document 1 describes a footbath boot having a height enough to cover an ankle and capable of pouring hot water inside.
A foot warmer described in Patent Document 2 includes a hot water filling container filled with hot water, a heat insulating bottom plate provided at the bottom of the hot water filling container, a heating means laid outside the bottom of the hot water filling container, It consists of a control device for controlling the hot water temperature in the filling container and a boot that is inserted into the hot water filling container that is attached to the foot and filled with hot water.

However, the conventional technique still has the following problems to be solved.
Since the footbath boot described in Patent Document 1 is a boot type, the foot can be freely moved during use. However, since the height is low, when the foot is moved while wearing the footbath boot (for example, walking) The internal hot water leaks to the outside. In order to eliminate the leakage of hot water, it may be possible to reduce the amount of hot water supplied to the footbath boots. However, in this case, the temperature of the hot water drops significantly, so the hot water replacement frequency increases and the workability is poor. Also, the effect of fatigue recovery is reduced.
The foot warmer described in Patent Document 2 cannot be easily carried because the device configuration is complicated.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a foot bath boot that is simple in structure and easy to carry and can be walked while worn.

A foot bath boot according to the present invention that meets the above-mentioned object is provided with a shoe sole, a foot cover in which a lower end portion is fixed around the shoe sole, and a cylindrical lower leg that is connected to the upper end portion of the foot cover. A foot bath boot having a cover and
The shoe sole, the foot cover and the crus cover are composed of a sheet material provided with a jersey fabric made of synthetic fibers on the outer surface of a rubber sheet having closed cells,
The shoe sole, the foot cover, and the lower leg cover are formed larger than the user's foot and lower leg part, and in use, the inner surfaces of the foot cover and the lower leg part cover, Between the foot cover and the user's foot and lower leg part accommodated in the foot cover and the lower leg cover, a gap is formed that can store hot water supplied from the upper opening of the lower leg cover.

  In the foot bath boot according to the present invention, it is preferable that a band member for reducing an opening area of the upper opening of the crus cover is provided on the upper outer surface of the crus cover.

In the foot bath boot according to the present invention, the sheet material is composed of first to third divided sheets, the shoe sole is constituted by the first divided sheet, and the width direction of the foot cover and the lower leg cover One side is composed of the second divided sheet, and the other side in the width direction of the foot cover and the crus cover is composed of the third divided sheet,
The butted portions of the first to third divided sheets are preferably joined by bonding and stitching.

Here, a reinforcing member having an anti-slip function can be integrally provided on the outer surface layer portion of the jersey fabric of the sheet material constituting the shoe sole.
Moreover, the reinforcement member provided with the anti-slip | skid function can also be affixed on the outer surface of the said shoe sole.

The foot bath boot according to the present invention is a boot type constituted by a shoe sole, a foot cover and a crus cover, and is therefore easy to carry. This shoe sole, foot cover and lower leg cover are made of sheet material with a jersey fabric made of synthetic fiber on the outer surface of a rubber sheet with closed cells, so it is waterproof and ensures heat retention It can be expanded and contracted.
In addition, the shoe sole, the foot cover and the lower leg cover are formed larger than the user's foot and lower leg part, and in use, the inner surface of the foot cover and lower leg part, the user's foot and A gap is formed between the lower leg and the hot water can be stored in the foot bath boot by supplying hot water to the gap. Note that the foot bath boot has a crus cover, and its height is as high as the vicinity of the user's knee, so even if the user moves the foot while wearing the foot bath boot (for example, walking In addition, leakage of hot water to the outside can be suppressed and further prevented, and the user's lower leg can be warmed, resulting in a more fatigue recovery effect.
Therefore, it is possible to provide a foot bath boot that is simple in structure, easy to carry, and capable of walking while worn.

  In particular, when a band member that reduces the opening area of the upper opening of the lower leg cover is provided on the upper outer surface of the lower leg cover, the user's foot, lower leg, and hot water are placed in the foot bath boot. In the inserted state, the upper inner surface of the lower leg cover can be brought into close contact with the user's lower leg by reducing the opening area of the upper opening of the lower leg cover with the band member. As a result, even if the amount of hot water supplied to the gap is increased (the hot water storage height is increased), leakage of hot water to the outside can be suppressed and further prevented, and heat dissipation of hot water can also be suppressed. The recovery effect is further enhanced.

  Further, the sheet material constituting the shoe sole, the foot cover and the crus cover is composed of first to third divided sheets, and the respective butted portions of the first to third divided sheets are joined by bonding and stitching. If it is, the structure of the foot bath boot can be simplified and the design can be improved.

1 is a side view of a foot bath boot according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a top view of the foot bath boots. It is AA 'arrow sectional drawing of FIG. It is a fragmentary top view of the leg leg covering of the foot bath boots concerning the modification.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings for understanding of the present invention.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a foot bath boot 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a shoe sole 11, a foot cover 12, and a crus cover 13, which is simple in structure and easy to carry. It is possible to walk in a standing state. The foot bath boot 10 shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 is a left side boot (a side worn on the user's left foot 12a) of the right and left boots (used). The boot on the right foot of the person) is mirror-symmetrical with the foot bath boot 10 and has the same structure. Therefore, the left foot bath boot 10 will be described below.

The shoe sole 11 is formed larger than the user's sole (plant sole) shape (foot length (length from heel to toe) and foot width, respectively, for example, about 2 to 5 cm larger).
The foot cover 12 has a lower end fixed to the periphery of the shoe sole 11 and covers up to the user's ankle. In use, the foot cover 12 is large so as not to be in close contact with the back of the user's foot 12a. (For example, about 3 to 15 cm larger than the surroundings).
The crus cover 13 has a cylindrical shape that is connected to the upper end of the foot cover 12 and covers the area below the user's knees (shin and calf). It is formed so as not to be in close contact with the surface of the thigh 13a (for example, about 3 to 15 cm larger than the circumference of the lower thigh 13a).

Thus, since the shoe sole 11, the foot cover 12, and the lower leg cover 13 are formed larger than the user's foot 12a and lower leg part 13a, the foot cover 12 and the lower leg are in use. A gap 14 can be formed between the inner surface of the partial cover 13 and the user's foot 12a and lower leg 13a accommodated in the foot cover 12 and lower leg cover 13.
The gap 14 is an area for storing hot water 16 supplied from the upper opening 15 of the crus cover 13, and has a volume (amount of hot water 16 stored) of the shoe sole 11, the foot cover 12, and the lower part. Depending on the relationship between the internal volume of the thigh cover 13 and the volume of the user's foot 12a and the lower leg 13a, various changes occur.

The shoe sole 11, the foot cover 12, and the crus cover 13 are composed of a sheet material 17.
The sheet material 17 includes first to third divided sheets 18 to 20, and the shoe sole 11 includes the first divided sheet 18. One side in the width direction of the foot cover 12 and the crus cover 13 (FIG. 2). The left side in FIG. 3 is configured by the second divided sheet 19, and the other side in the width direction of the foot cover 12 and the crus cover 13 (the right side in FIGS. 2 and 3) is configured by the third divided sheet 20. ing. That is, the second divided sheet 19 and the third divided sheet 20 have a shape that is separated (divided into two) into the left and right when the foot bath boot 10 is viewed from the toe side.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first divided sheet 18 is one in which a jersey fabric 22 made of synthetic fibers is provided on the outer surface of a rubber sheet (for example, chloroprene rubber) 21 having closed cells. Similarly, the second and third divided sheets 19 and 20 are obtained by providing a jersey fabric 24 made of synthetic fibers on the outer surface of a rubber sheet 23 having closed cells.
The inner surface of the rubber sheet 21 constituting the first divided sheet 18 (the surface in contact with the back of the user's foot 12a) is a smooth surface, and the rubber sheets constituting the second and third divided sheets 19 and 20 A number of anti-slip protrusions are provided on the inner surface 23 (the surface in contact with the upper and lower leg portions 13a of the user's foot 12a) by, for example, shark skin processing, but may be a smooth surface. A jersey fabric made of synthetic fibers may be provided on the inner surface of the rubber sheet 21.
The thickness of the rubber sheet 23 of the second and third divided sheets 19 and 20 is, for example, about 3 to 8 mm (here 5 mm), and the thickness of the rubber sheet 21 of the first divided sheet 18 is second. It is thicker than the rubber sheet 23 of the third divided sheets 19 and 20, for example, about 5 to 15 mm.

The diameter of the closed cells included in the rubber sheets 21 and 23 of the first to third divided sheets 18 to 20 is, for example, 0.05 to 1 mm, and the bubble rate of the closed cells is, for example, 60 to 95% (volume%). is there.
Here, when the diameter of the closed cell is less than 0.05 mm or the bubble rate is less than 60%, the heat retaining property is likely to be lowered, and it is difficult to be deformed even when the rubber sheet is pressed (the flexibility is too small). The repulsive force from the rubber sheet becomes excessive (impact absorption and cushioning properties become excessive), which is not preferable. On the other hand, when the diameter of the closed cell exceeds 1 mm or the bubble rate exceeds 95%, the rubber sheet is easily deformed (excessive flexibility) and no repulsive force is obtained from the rubber sheet. (Shock absorption and cushioning properties are too small), which is not preferable.
Therefore, the diameter of the closed cells of the rubber sheets 21 and 23 is 0.05 to 1 mm (preferably, the lower limit is 0.1 mm, the upper limit is 0.8 mm), and the closed cell has a bubble ratio of 60 to 95% (preferably The lower limit was 70%, and the upper limit was 90%.

The jersey fabric 22 of the first divided sheet 18 has a thickness of, for example, about 0.3 to 2 mm, and is thicker than the jersey fabric 24 of the second and third divided sheets 19 and 20. The jersey fabrics 22 and 24 are provided on the surfaces of the rubber sheets 21 and 23 by bonding or stitching, or by bonding and stitching.
Since the jersey fabrics 22 and 24 can be expanded and contracted in accordance with the deformation of the rubber sheets 21 and 23, the jersey fabrics 22 and 24 can be prevented from separating (peeling) from the surface of the rubber sheets 21 and 23. As the synthetic fibers forming the jersey fabrics 22, 24, for example, any one of nylon fibers, polyester fibers, polypropylene hollow fiber fibers, and polyethylene fibers can be used. In particular, by using a jersey fabric made of fibers having excellent water repellency, such as polyethylene fibers, it becomes easy to maintain the dry state of the surface and also facilitate drying after washing.

In the second divided sheet 19 and the third divided sheet 20, the front side and the rear side of the foot bath boot 10 are joined at butting portions (joining portions) 25 and 26. The lower end portions of the second and third divided sheets 19 and 20 and the peripheral portion (periphery) of the first divided sheet 18 are also joined by a butting portion (joining portion) 27.
Each butted portion 25-27 is joined by an adhesive and stitching (sewing with a thread) in order to ensure waterproofness and strength. Specifically, the rubber sheet 21 of the first divided sheet 18, the butted portion 27 of the rubber sheet 23 of the second and third divided sheets 19, 20, and the second divided sheet 19 are used by using a rubber adhesive. The rubber sheet 23 and the butted portions 25 and 26 of the rubber sheet 23 of the third divided sheet 20 are joined face to face, and a synthetic resin yarn 28 (for example, nylon or the like) having sufficient strength is formed thereon. The rubber sheet 21 and the jersey fabric 22 of the first divided sheet 18 and the rubber sheet 23 and the jersey fabric 24 of the second and third divided sheets 19 and 20 are sewn, and the second divided sheet 19 The rubber sheet 23 and the jersey fabric 24 and the rubber sheet 23 and the jersey fabric 24 of the third divided sheet 20 are sewn together. The stitching is preferably performed so that the thread 28 passes through the outer half of the thickness of the rubber sheets 21 and 23, and it is preferable not to provide a threading hole in the inner half, thereby ensuring waterproofness. In addition, the strength of the joint portion can be ensured.

A reinforcing member 29 having an anti-slip function is integrally provided on the outer surface layer portion of the jersey fabric 22 of the first divided sheet 18 constituting the shoe sole 11.
The reinforcing member 29 is formed, for example, by laminating a rubber-based liquid resin (for example, radial liquid) from the outer surface of the jersey fabric 22 and drying it a plurality of times.
In addition, what is affixed on the outer surface of the shoe sole 11 can also be used as a reinforcement member provided with the slip prevention function.

As shown in FIG. 1 (not shown in FIGS. 2 and 3), a band member 30 for reducing the opening area of the upper opening 15 of the crus cover 13 is provided on the upper outer surface of the crus cover 13. ing. This band member 30 has a band shape, and the longitudinal direction base side thereof is on the upper outer surface of the crus cover 13 (the inner side of the pair of foot bath boots: the back side in FIG. 1, the right side in FIGS. 2 and 3), The band member 30 is attached and fixed so that the longitudinal direction of the band member 30 is orthogonal to the height direction of the crus cover 13.
The band member 30 is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener (plane fastener) 33 composed of a loop tape 31 having a number of loops and a hook tape 32 having a number of hooks that can be locked to the loops. Yes. The loop tape 31 is on the front surface side of the band member 30 in the longitudinal direction (the side opposite to the attachment surface side to the crus cover 13), and the hook tape 32 is the back surface of the band member 30 on the front side in the longitudinal direction. Each is provided on the side.

In use, the front side in the longitudinal direction of the band member 30 is pulled from the back side of the crus cover 13 to the lateral side of the user (outside of the pair of foot bath boots), and the guide 34 is passed through the crus. Pull the hook tape 32 against the loop tape 31 from the front side of the cover 13 to the side of the user (inside the pair of foot bath boots) (the band member 30 squeezes the upper opening 15 of the crus cover 13). ).
Thereby, the opening area of the upper side opening part 15 of the lower leg part cover 13 can be reduced, and the upper inner surface of the lower leg part cover 13 can be brought into close contact with the user's lower leg part 13a.

In addition, the structure which reduces the opening area of the upper side opening part 15 of the leg part cover 13 is not limited to an above-described structure.
For example, it can also be set as the structure which binds the upper side of the leg part cover 13 using a string material.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the notch 41 is made along the up-down direction from the upper end position of the crus cover 40 (for example, from the upper end position to a position 5 to 10 cm below), and the end portions can be overlapped. It can also be set as a structure and it can also be set as the structure in which the upper side inner surface of the leg part cover 40 tends to stick more closely to a user's leg part. In this case, it is preferable that a thin sheet 42 connecting both sides of the cut 41 is provided inside the crus cover 40 so that hot water does not leak from the cut 41.

Then, the usage method of the foot bath boot 10 is demonstrated, referring FIG.
First, hot water 16 is supplied from the upper opening 15 of the crus cover 13 into the foot bath boot 10. The supply amount of the hot water 16 is adjusted within a range in which the hot water 16 does not overflow even if the user puts the foot 12a and the lower leg 13a into the foot bath boot 10. At this time, a bathing agent (for example, a hot spring component such as bicarbonate) or the like can be added to the hot water 16 as necessary.
Then, the foot 12a and the lower leg 13a are placed in the foot bath boot 10 containing hot water 16. At this time, hot water 16 is supplied as needed to adjust the hot water level in the foot bath boot 10.

Next, the front side in the longitudinal direction of the band member 30 is wound outwardly from the back side of the crus cover 13 along the outer periphery of the crus cover 13 through the intermediate guide 34, and the crus cover 13 The hook tape 32 is pressed against the loop tape 31 on the inside (the inside of the pair of foot bath boots).
Thereby, the opening area of the upper side opening part 15 of the lower leg part cover 13 can be decreased, and the upper inner surface of the lower leg part cover 13 can be brought into close contact with the user's lower leg part.
Therefore, the structure is simple and easy to carry, and it is possible to walk while wearing it.
