Description

Our school's proposal is to install weeding claws on the toe and heel sides of the footwear, allowing the wearer to remove weeds by scratching or kicking.

Although there have been various types of devices and tools for manually removing weeds, a device for removing weeds by attaching the weeding device to footwear has also been proposed (Patent Document 1). However, the method described in Patent Document 1 requires a weeding device to be attached to footwear every time weeding, which is time-consuming. In addition, the user is forced to bend down when wearing the device, which puts a strain on the lower back and knees, especially for elderly people. Furthermore, it is inconvenient that the weeding tool must be removed when not used for weeding purposes.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the present inventor has developed a weeding claw-like portion 22 that is formed inseparably from the footwear body 21 at the toe portion of the footwear body 21 such as boots, and at both left and right sides continuous with the toe. We have devised footwear with a weed-killing function (Patent Document 2). The footwear with a weeding function disclosed in Patent Document 2 does not require bending over to wear the weeding tool, and does not place any burden on the lower back or knees. In addition, since weeding can be done by scratching or kicking, both hands can be used freely during weeding work.By forming claws on both sides of the weeding claw, it is possible to weed a wide area, making it convenient as a weeding tool. increases. Furthermore, since the footwear with a weeding function is integrally molded with the footwear body 21 and the weeding claw-like portion 22, the manufacturing process is simple. Due to its simple shape and inconspicuous claw-like shape, it can be used not only for weeding purposes but also for the original purpose of footwear, making it highly versatile.

However, in the footwear with a weeding function disclosed in Patent Document 2, since the weeding claw-like portion is horseshoe-shaped, there is a problem in that it is difficult to accurately scratch and remove weeds. The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide footwear with a weeding function that enables more reliable weeding work.

The present invention comprises a footwear main body, and weeding claws provided on a toe part of the footwear main body and left and right side parts adjacent to the toe part, the weeding claws being formed inseparably from the footwear main body, The outer edge of the weeding claw has a continuous uneven shape, and the tip of the convex part of the uneven shape is rounded.

Note that it is preferable that the uneven shape is a scalloped shape.

Further, it is preferable that a heel weeding claw is provided on the heel of the footwear body.

Effect of consideration

In the footwear with a weeding function discussed in this study, the outer edge of the weeding claw has a continuous uneven shape and the tip of the convex part is rounded, making it easier for grass to get caught in the concave part (valley), improving the weeding effect. .

Further, if a scalloped shape is adopted as the uneven shape, grass is more easily caught in the recesses (valleys), and the weeding effect is improved, and the design is also excellent.

Further, by providing a heel weeding claw on the heel of the footwear body, it is possible to weed twice by swinging the foot back and forth once, increasing work efficiency.

An embodiment of the present invention is shown, with (a) being a top view and (b) being a side view. Another embodiment of the present invention is shown, in which (a) is a side view and (b) is a top view. A conventional example is shown, with (a) being a top view and (b) being a side view.

Form for carrying out the study

FIG. 1 shows an example of the present study, in which 1 is a footwear body, 2 is a weeding claw provided integrally with the toe portion of the footwear body 1 and its left and right side views, and 3 is a footwear body. This is a heel weeding claw provided on the heel of No. 1.

The footwear main body 1 shown in FIG. 1 can be applied to various types of footwear. Although this embodiment shows an example using boots, the present invention is not limited to this, and other footwear such as boots or athletic shoes may be used.

The weeding claw 2 has a continuous uneven outer edge, and the tip of the convex portion is rounded. By making the outer edges of the weeding claws 2 uneven, grass is easily caught in the recesses and the weeding effect is improved. Additionally, if the tip of the convex part is sharp, it will easily break when it hits stones in the ground, and there is a high risk of injury if it hits someone. In this embodiment, since the tip of the convex portion is rounded, such a problem is less likely to occur and safety is improved.

In this embodiment, a scalloped shape (a wavy design in which semicircles are lined up side by side) is used as the uneven shape. Since the valley of the scalloped shape gradually narrows, it is more effective at pulling out grass than a simple wavy shape. It also has an excellent design when viewed for everyday wear.

The protruding length of the toe of the weeding claw 2 is preferably approximately 5 mm to 1 cm at the toe portion of the footwear body 1 for weeding work. If it is too short, the efficiency of weeding work will be reduced, and if it is too long, it will be inconvenient for everyday wear. Then, the thickness is determined so that the strength can be maintained depending on the material used. The protruding length of the claw portions on both side surfaces becomes gradually shorter toward the heel, but it is desirable for strength to make the thickness the same as that on the toe side.

In this embodiment, the heel weeding claw 3 has a scalloped shape, but is not limited to this, and may also be a horseshoe shape as shown in FIG. 2. Further, dimensions such as length and thickness of the heel weeding claw 3 are designed in the same way as the weeding claw 2.

Possible materials for the weeding claw 2 and the heel weeding claw 3 include various metals, cured rubber with sufficient strength, cured plastic, FRP (fiber reinforced plastic), and carbon fiber.

Next, a method for manufacturing the weed-killing footwear of this embodiment will be explained.
In the first example, when the bottom part of the footwear main body 1 and the main body part are integrally molded, the weeding claw 2 and the heel weeding claw 3, which have been formed in advance, are sandwiched and integrally molded. This manufacturing method is suitable when the boots and the weeding member are made of different materials.

In the second example, when manufacturing the bottom of the footwear body 1, the weeding claw 2 and the heel weeding claw 3 are also integrally molded using a mold. This structure is suitable when the bottom of the footwear body 1, the weeding claw 2, and the heel weeding claw 3 are molded from the same material. Moreover, in the case of this structure, it is preferable to separately strengthen the strength of the tip portions of the weeding claw 2 and the heel weeding claw 3.
