Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001] The present invention relates to an operation required for wearing shoes and a correcting operation during the wearing or after the wearing is completed. The invention is supplemented and improved by an epoch-making method, regardless of age or sex. Not only for physically healthy people, but also for the lower limbs, lower back,
The purpose is to make it possible to complete the ideal state of wearing shoes in a short time with a simple operation even for people with disorders or malfunctions of the spine, etc., in a body-friendly, comfortable posture and safely. The present invention also relates to a shoe-wearing device which is effective for reducing the degree of labor fatigue of a care supporter who cares for a physically handicapped person.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, when wearing short shoes, while inserting them from the toe part of the foot into the opening part of the shoe, while putting them between the part holding the heel of the shoe and the heel of the foot, A device called "shoe spatula" has been widely used as a device for smoothing the insertion of the heel and assisting wearing of shoes by using the heel to slide along the heel. The shape of this device is roughly, in order to make it easier to hold and operate by hand from the apex of the bent plate-like parts molded according to the shape of the heel of the foot and the shape of the shoe,
The grip is attached in an arbitrary length and shape. In addition, as the improved product, the part that is held and operated by fingers plays the role of a spring, and the shape of a long and large "U-shaped" tweezers, the tip of one of which is inside the flat shape. "Concave processing" is applied, and the other end has a "shoe spatula" shaped part attached, and the inside is also "concave processed" to give the shoe a "bello-shaped part" Then, while holding it so as to hold it, insert it from the toes of the foot, guide it until the heel reaches the upper end of the heel part of the shoe, and then release the holding state of the "bello-shaped part" by the instrument, then The "shoe spatula improved product" has a structure in which the "shoe spatula" shaped part of this device is applied to the heel part of the shoe and the wearing is completed by the conventional method using the "shoe spatula". Therefore, after processing the "bello-shaped part", the part of the heel must be newly processed, and then the heel part must be newly processed, and one operation cannot be used. That is, even if these "shoe wrasse improved products" and "shoe wrasses" are used, depending on the material and shape of the shoe, the "bell-shaped parts" may be deformed inside the shoe, or Due to deformation and damage, it is difficult to easily achieve the ideal wearing state, and in many cases, the wearing correction operation by inserting fingers into the shoe is indispensable.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when wearing short shoes, while inserting them from the toes of the foot into the opening of the shoe, while putting them between the part that holds the heel of the shoe and the heel of the foot, A device called "shoe spatula" has been widely used as a device for smoothly inserting a heel and assisting wearing of shoes by using the heel to slide along the heel. The shape of this device is roughly the same as the shape of the heel of a foot or the shape of a shoe. It is attached in a shape.
In addition, as an improved product, the part that is held and operated with fingers plays the role of a spring, and the shape of a long and large "U-shaped" tweezers, one of the tips of which is flat inside "Concave processing" is applied, and the other end has a "shoe spatula" shaped part attached, and the inside is also "concave processed" to give the shoe a "bello-shaped part" Then, while holding it so as to hold it, proceed to insert it from the toes of the foot, guide it until the heel reaches the upper end of the heel part of the shoe, release the holding state of the "bello-shaped part" by the device, then "Shoe spatula" of this equipment
This product has a structure in which the shaped part is applied to the heel part of the shoe and the wearing is completed by the conventional method using a "shoe spatula". Therefore, after processing the "bello-shaped part", the part of the heel must be newly processed, and then the heel part must be newly processed, and one operation cannot be used. In other words, even if these "shoe wrasses" are used, the "bell-shaped parts" may be deformed inside the shoe or the shoe may be damaged, depending on the material and shape of the shoe. It is difficult to easily achieve the wearing state, and in many cases, the wearing correction operation by inserting fingers into the shoes is indispensable.

[0003]

This has the following drawbacks and disadvantages. (B) If wearing shoes is not ideal,
We will work to correct this, but the posture taken at this time needs to be corrected by directly inserting the fingers into the shoes, so bend the upper body forward or twist the upper body while bending the knee. Behaves often, and often
Due to this unstable posture state, I lose my balance and fall, or fall again, and in order to prevent this in a hurry, I wobble with my hands to maintain balance and fall in a dangerous posture, resulting On the contrary, there are also reports that it has become a big "injury". (B) Since the posture becomes unstable as described above during use, it may be difficult to use for persons with an upper limb, lower limb, spine, lumbar region, etc., or for elderly people. Further, even if the conventional "shoe spatula" is used, it is manufactured for the purpose of being used for the "heel part", and there is a drawback that it cannot cope with the following situations. (C) In many short shoes, as a component of a shoe, it is attached to the instep inside the shoe, is attached with the upper part of the inside of the shoe in front of the toe as the base, and is attached to the back of the part braided with shoelaces. There is a "bello-shaped part" that has a proper purpose, is extended as it is, and is attached so as to be exposed to the outside of the opening of the shoe, but when wearing the shoe,
In the process of inserting the legs in the instep and the inside of the shoe, which is a tongue-shaped part, from the toe of the foot to the inside of the shoe,
When the heels are pulled into the inside of the shoe due to the friction of each other and the heel is set inside the shoe, the "bello-shaped part" is curved from the base and pulled into the inside of the shoe. It often happens. (D) As a means to solve such a situation, it is necessary to insert the heel while holding the "bell-shaped part" with fingers, and if it is retracted, correction work to pull it out Has become essential. (E) When performing this correction work, the fingers are often inserted directly into the shoes, and at this time, the skin including the fingernails and cuticles at the base of the nails is damaged, and in women, manicure For example, there is a danger and a risk that makeup to be applied to nails and sprains of fingers. (F) Such complicated wearing work is required, and the working time is often long depending on the shape and material of the shoe.As mentioned above, the burden on the body and the body There is a risk of falls and injuries. (G) In the above-mentioned “shoe-vera-improved product” that is a “bello-shaped part” of shoes, the distance from the handle part of the device to the part of the device that acts on the shoe is long, so the grip strength of the hand is sufficient The stress is difficult to convey, and the "velo-shaped part" is firmly attached.
Difficult to hold. (H) Even if you use "Shoe Bella" or "Shoe Bella Improved Product",
It is difficult to wear an ideal shoe with one action. The present invention has been made to solve the above drawbacks.
