Description

The present invention relates to a mounting member for mounting to the foot, for example.

  Conventionally, a slipper is provided with a plate-like base portion for placing a sole of a foot and a covering portion that is provided so as to cover a part of the base portion and forms an opening into which a foot can be inserted together with the base portion. By being generally set larger than the toe side of the foot, the toe can be easily inserted and worn.

  And as such a slipper, there exists what provided the rubber belt in the inner surface which is a contact surface with the back of the foot in a coating | coated part (for example, refer patent document 1). In this slipper, the rubber belt generates a large sliding resistance, so that the slipper is easily removed.

JP-A-10-179201

  However, in the slipper provided with the rubber belt as described above, the back of the foot may come into contact with the rubber belt even when the foot is inserted, and the rubber belt becomes a large sliding resistance when the foot is inserted. There is a problem that it is difficult to wear. In particular, when the foot is a prosthetic leg, there is a demand for footwear such as slippers that are easy to wear and difficult to remove because there is no subtle sense of the toes and the toes cannot be subtly deformed by will. .

The present invention has been made in view of these circumstances, an object thereof is to provide a mounting member for mounting to the foot in order to not easily liable and take off wear the footwear.

In the invention according to claim 1 , the base of the base in the footwear comprising a plate-like base and a covering part provided so as to cover a part of the base and forming an opening into which a foot can be inserted together with the base. A mounting member for mounting to a foot that contacts at least one of a surface on the side covered by the covering portion and an inner surface of the covering portion, wherein the foot is placed on the footwear on the outer surface that is in contact with the footwear. The gist is that a fibrous member inclined in the direction opposite to the insertion direction is provided.

  According to the configuration, the outer surface that is in contact with the footwear is provided with the fibrous member that is inclined in the direction opposite to the direction in which the foot is inserted into the footwear. The effect similar to the effect of the invention of claim | item 1 can be acquired.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the mounting member according to the first aspect , the mounting member can be mounted so as to cover the toe side of the foot in a strip shape, and a plurality of the fibrous members are provided in the longitudinal direction of the strip shape. The gist of the invention is that it is an elastic member having a space between them.

  According to this configuration, the mounting member can be mounted so as to cover the toe side of the foot in a band shape. In addition, since a plurality of fibrous members are provided in the longitudinal direction of the belt and between them is an elastic member having elasticity, the fibrous member can be brought into contact with the footwear in a wide range with good balance, and the wearability is improved. Can be made. For example, in the case where the fibrous member is in the form of a sheet but does not have elasticity, if the fibrous member is provided long along the longitudinal direction of the belt, the portion does not elastically deform in a long range along the longitudinal direction. Although there is a possibility that the wearability is lowered without being fitted to the foot (it is easy to come off), it is easier to fit the foot and the wearability can be improved.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the mounting member according to the first or second aspect , a fibrous member for maintaining a mounting that is inclined toward the toe of the foot is provided on the inner surface that is in contact with the foot. This is the gist.

  According to this configuration, the inner surface on the side in contact with the foot is provided with the fibrous member for maintaining the attachment inclined toward the toe of the foot, so that the mounting member may come off from the foot (the foot wearing the socks). In this case, since the fibrous member for maintaining the attachment becomes a so-called reverse hair, a large resistance is generated. Therefore, it becomes difficult to remove the mounting member.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a mounting member for mounting to the foot in order to not easily liable and take off wear the footwear.

(First embodiment)
A first embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a slipper and a fibrous member will be described below with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (a), a slipper 1 as footwear includes a plate-like base 4 for placing the back of a foot 2 (specifically, a foot 2 wearing socks 3), and an upper tip side of the base 4 (It is the left side in the figure and corresponds to the toe) and a covering portion 5 that forms an opening into which the foot 2 can be inserted together with the base portion 4.

  The direction in which the foot 2 is inserted into the opening is at least one of the contact surface of the slipper 1 with the foot 2 and the surface of the base portion 4 covered with the covering portion 5 and the inner surface of the covering portion 5. An inclined fibrous member 6 is provided.

  More specifically, the fibrous member 6 causes only a small resistance to slide in one direction (so-called forward hair) with respect to the contacting member (sock 3 or the like), and the other direction (so-called reverse hair). In this embodiment, the same material as that used for the etiquette brush (registered trademark) is used. .

  Moreover, the fibrous member 6 of this Embodiment is formed in strip | belt shape (sheet | seat shape) as shown in FIG.1 (c), and as shown to FIG.1 (a), (b), the coating | coated part 5 of FIG. It is fixed in the vicinity of the opening 5a on the inner surface. More specifically, the fibrous member 6 is fixed to substantially the entire range along the arch of the opening 5 a at the position of the end of the opening 5 a on the inner surface of the covering portion 5. Further, the fibrous member 6 of the present embodiment is provided with an adhesive in advance on the back surface thereof, and is fixed with the adhesive.

Next, the characteristic effects of the first embodiment will be described below.
(1) A fibrous member 6 that is in contact with the foot 2 of the slipper 1 (the foot 2 wearing the sock 3) and is inclined in the direction in which the foot 2 is inserted is provided on the inner surface of the covering portion 5. ing. Therefore, when the slipper 1 is put on, in particular, when the foot 2 (the foot 2 with the sock 3) is inserted between the base portion 4 and the covering portion 5, the fibrous member 6 becomes so-called normal hair. The resistance force that occurs during the insertion is small. On the other hand, when the slipper 1 is about to fall out of the foot 2 (the foot 2 wearing the socks 3) during walking or the like, the fibrous member 6 becomes so-called reverse hair, and thus a large resistance is generated. Therefore, it is easy to wear and difficult to take off. As a result, in particular, when the foot 2 is a prosthetic leg or the like, there is no subtle sense of the toe, or the toe cannot be subtly deformed by will, but it is easy to wear and difficult to remove. The slipper 1 can be used comfortably.

  Of course, the fibrous member 6 is in direct contact with the sock 3 worn on the foot 2, and when the foot 2 is a prosthetic leg, the fibrous member 6 is in direct contact with the sock or cloth covering the prosthetic leg. And so on.

  (2) Since the fibrous member 6 is provided on the inner surface of the covering portion 5, it can be made more difficult to remove effectively. Specifically, when the slipper 1 is about to fall off, it is when the foot 2 (slipper 1) is lifted from the floor, such as during walking, and at that time, the foot 2 is securely in contact with the covering portion 5 of the slipper 1 while the base portion. 4 may be non-contact. For this reason, when the fibrous member 6 is provided on the base 4, for example, when walking, the resistance by reverse hair does not occur when the foot 2 is lifted from the floor, or the effect of becoming smaller and difficult to remove may be reduced. There is. On the other hand, when the fibrous member 6 is provided on the covering portion 5 as in the present configuration, the foot 2 is reliably connected to the fibrous member 6 of the covering portion 5 when the foot 2 is lifted from the floor, such as during walking. Since a large resistance force due to the reverse hair is generated due to contact, it can be made more difficult to remove effectively.

  (3) Since the fibrous member 6 is provided in the vicinity of the opening 5a on the inner surface of the covering portion 5, it can be made more difficult to remove effectively. Specifically, the vicinity of the opening 5a of the covering portion 5 is a portion that is highly likely to be in contact with the end in the process in which the slipper 1 is removed. From this, for example, it is possible to make it more difficult to remove the fibrous member 6 more effectively than in the case where the fibrous member 6 is provided only on the back side (the tip side corresponding to the toe) of the covering portion 5. Further, when the fibrous member 6 is provided only in the vicinity of the opening 5a of the covering portion 5 as in the present embodiment, the case where the fibrous member 6 is provided in the back side (tip side) of the covering portion 5 and in the vicinity of the opening 5a. As compared with the above, it is possible to make it difficult to remove effectively while reducing the area of the fibrous member 6. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the amount of the fibrous member 6 to be used is reduced, compared with the case where the fibrous member 6 is provided in the back side (tip side) of the covering portion 5 and in the vicinity of the opening 5a. Can be.

  (4) In this embodiment, the fibrous member 6 is fixed to the contact surface of the slipper 1 with the foot 2. If it does in this way, the above-mentioned effect can be acquired at low cost, for example by adhering fibrous member 6 to the slipper etc. (conventional) which possesses, for example. That is, although the sheet-like fibrous member 6 itself may form the outer shape of the slipper, compared to such a case, in the configuration of the present embodiment, the fibrous member 6 itself may be a product. Therefore, for example, it is possible to meet the demand of the user more by fixing to the owned (conventional) slipper or by fixing to the (conventional) slipper of a favorite design. Further, since the fibrous member 6 is provided with an adhesive on the back surface in advance and is fixed with the adhesive, for example, the user (purchaser) can use the (conventional) slipper as described above. Etc., and can be easily fixed. In the case where the fibrous member 6 itself is a product, the direction in which the fibrous member 6 is inclined is determined to be inclined in the direction in which the foot is inserted while being fixed to the slipper 1 (when fixed). No. 6 is a dedicated one used in such a manner.

(Second Embodiment)
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In the present embodiment, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions of the same parts are partially omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (c), the fibrous member 11 in the present embodiment has an insertion direction side recognizable portion that can visually recognize the direction corresponding to the direction in which the foot 2 is inserted. 11a. The insertion direction side recognizable portion 11a of the present embodiment has a tapered shape on the direction side (left side in FIG. 2C) corresponding to the direction in which the foot 2 is inserted, as shown in FIG. By doing so, the direction can be visually recognized. Then, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the fibrous member 11 is fixed in the vicinity of the opening 5 a on the inner surface of the covering portion 5 and at a substantially central position in the width direction of the slipper 1. .

Even if it does in this way, the effect similar to the effect of the said 1st Embodiment can be acquired.
Next, characteristic effects of the second embodiment will be described below.
(1) Since the fibrous member 11 has the insertion direction side recognizable portion 11a that can visually recognize the direction corresponding to the direction in which the foot 2 is inserted, the fibrous member 11 is fixed to the slipper. , (Inclination) can be prevented from being erroneously fixed.

(Third embodiment)
A third embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a mounting member will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the mounting member 21 is for mounting on the foot 2 (for example, the foot 2 wearing the sock 3) that contacts the contact surface of the slipper 22. Note that the slipper 22 shown in FIG. 3A is a general (conventional) that is not provided with a fibrous member, and has, for example, a surface (including a contact surface with the foot 2) excluding the bottom surface. It is covered with cloth.

  The attachment member 21 is provided with a fibrous member 23 that is inclined in the direction opposite to the direction in which the foot is inserted into the slipper 22 on the outer surface that is in contact with the slipper 22 in a state of being attached to the foot 2.

  More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the mounting member 21 of the present embodiment can be mounted so as to cover the toe side of the foot 2 in a band shape. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the mounting member 21 of the present embodiment is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener 24 such as Velcro (registered trademark) on one end side in the longitudinal direction (left side in FIG. 4). As shown in FIG. 3 (b), mounting is possible by pressing the hook-and-loop fastener 24 against the back surface (inner surface) on the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the mounting member 21 while being wound around the toe side of the foot 2. Further, a portion excluding the hook-and-loop fastener 24 of the mounting member 21 (on the right side of the hook-and-loop fastener 24 in FIG. 4) is provided with a composite product of rubber and cloth, which is the elastic member 25 having elasticity in the longitudinal direction, as a base. ing. A plurality of sheet-like fibrous members 23 are provided on the surface of the elastic member 25 in the longitudinal direction. Each fibrous member 23 of the present embodiment is the same as that used in the etiquette brush (registered trademark) as in the above-described embodiment, and is elastic (stretchable) while being in the form of a sheet. ) Is not used.

  As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the mounting member 21 is provided with a fibrous member 23 that is inclined in a direction opposite to the direction in which the foot is inserted into the slipper 22, and the fibrous member. It is used by being attached to the foot 2 so that 23 is arranged on the back side of the foot 2 (the side facing the covering portion 22a of the slipper 22).

Next, the characteristic effects of the third embodiment will be described below.
(1) Since the fibrous member 23 which inclines in the direction opposite to the direction which inserts the leg 2 in the slipper 22 is provided in the outer surface which is the side which contacts the slipper 22, attaching the mounting member 21 to the leg 2 Thus, when the slipper 22 is put on, the fibrous member 23 becomes so-called normal hair, so that the resistance force generated upon insertion thereof is small. On the other hand, when the slipper 22 is about to fall off from the foot 2 during walking or the like, the fibrous member 23 becomes so-called reverse hair, and thus a large resistance is generated. Therefore, it is easy to wear and difficult to take off. As a result, in particular, when the foot 2 is a prosthetic leg or the like, there is no subtle sense of the toe, or the toe cannot be subtly deformed by will, but it is easy to wear and difficult to remove. The slipper 22 can be used comfortably. Further, when the mounting member 21 is mounted, the above-described effect can be obtained even when, for example, a general (conventional) slipper 22 is used at a destination.

  In the mounting member 21, the direction in which the fibrous member 23 inclines is determined to be inclined in the direction opposite to the direction in which the foot 2 is inserted into the slipper 22 in the state of being mounted on the foot 2 (when mounted). However, the mounting member 21 is dedicated for use in this way.

  (2) The mounting member 21 can be mounted so as to cover the toe side of the foot 2 in a band shape. And since the sheet-like fibrous member 23 is provided with two or more in the strip | belt-shaped longitudinal direction and between them is made into the elastic member 25 which has elasticity, it can contact the fibrous member 23 with the slipper 22 in a wide range with good balance. In addition, the wearability can be improved. That is, in the case where the fibrous member 23 is in the form of a sheet but does not have elasticity as in the present embodiment, if the fibrous member is provided long along the longitudinal direction of the belt, the portion is long along the longitudinal direction. Since it does not elastically deform in the range, there is a possibility that the fitting property is lowered (it is easy to come off) without fitting to the foot 2, but it is easier to fit the foot 2 and the fitting property can be improved.

  (3) Since the mounting member 21 has a hook-and-loop fastener 24 and the annular length when mounted on the foot 2 can be adjusted, the size of the foot 2 (size around the toe) with individual differences ). That is, when the mounting member is an annular member having a certain length in advance, even if the elastic member 25 is used as described above, the tightening becomes tight or easy to be removed, or the size of the foot 2 with individual differences ( There is a possibility that the size of the periphery of the toe cannot be satisfactorily dealt with, but this can be dealt with satisfactorily.

The above embodiment may be modified as follows.
In each of the above embodiments, the inclined fibrous members 6, 11, and 23 are the same as those used in the etiquette brush (registered trademark). You may change to the inclined fibrous member. In other words, sliding in one direction (so-called forward hair direction) with respect to the contact member (sock 3 or the like) causes only a small resistance force, and sliding in the other direction (so-called reverse hair direction). May be changed as long as it is a fibrous member inclined so as to generate a large resistance.

-In the said 1st and 2nd embodiment, although the fibrous members 6 and 11 provided in the slipper 1 were made into the single member, it is not limited to this, You may provide two or more.
-In the said 1st and 2nd embodiment, although the fibrous members 6 and 11 were provided in the coating | coated part 5 (only), it is not limited to this, You may provide also in the base 4 and a base 4 may be provided only.

  In the first and second embodiments, the fibrous members 6 and 11 are provided in the vicinity (only) of the opening 5 a on the inner surface of the covering portion 5, but are also provided on the back side of the covering portion 5. It may be provided only on the back side. The vicinity of the opening 5a on the inner surface of the covering portion 5 means the opening 5a side from the center of the range of the length of the covering portion 5 along the insertion direction, and the back side means the back side from the center. Say the side.

  In the first and second embodiments, the fibrous members 6 and 11 are fixed to the slipper 1 with the adhesive provided in advance on the back surface thereof, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be fixed by a member other than the adhesive, or may be sewn and fixed to the slipper 1. In the case where the fibrous member itself is used as a product, it is troublesome to sew and fix it, and therefore, a material that can be easily fixed, such as an adhesive or a hook-and-loop fastener, is preferable. The fibrous member may not be fixed to the slipper. For example, the fibrous member itself may be provided to form the outer shape of the slipper.

  -In the said 2nd Embodiment, the insertion direction side recognizable part 11a of the fibrous member 11 makes the direction side corresponding to the direction which inserts the leg 2 be a tapered shape, and the direction is recognized visually. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a character, a figure, or the like may be provided as an insertion direction side recognizable portion so as to be visually recognizable. Further, for example, the shape of the entire fibrous member may be a shape as indicated by an arrow, and the whole may be a recognizable portion on the insertion direction side. In addition, for example, the entire shape of the fibrous member is substantially the same shape as the inner surface of the general covering portion 5 (a shape slightly smaller than the inner surface). The shape may be such that the fibrous member protrudes from the opening 5a.

  The inner surface on the back surface of the mounting member 21 of the third embodiment (on the side opposite to the side on which the fibrous member 23 is provided and in contact with the foot 2 (the foot 2 wearing the socks 3) 5), as shown in FIG. 5, an attachment maintaining fibrous member 31 inclined in the toe direction of the foot 2 may be additionally provided. In this way, when the mounting member 21 is about to fall off the foot 2 (the foot 2 wearing the socks 3), the mounting-maintaining fibrous member 31 becomes so-called reverse hair, and thus a large resistance is generated. . Therefore, it becomes difficult to remove the mounting member 21. Of course, a plurality of the attachment-maintaining fibrous members 31 may be provided in the longitudinal direction of the belt like the fibrous member 23.

  In the third embodiment, the mounting member 21 can be mounted so as to cover the toe side of the foot 2 in a band shape, but may be changed to another configuration as long as it can be mounted, for example, It may be fixed to the upper of the foot 2 (specifically, the portion of the sock 3) with an adhesive.

  In the third embodiment, a plurality of the fibrous members 23 are provided in the longitudinal direction of the belt and the elastic members 25 are elastic between them. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the fibers It is good also as what provided only one shaped member (single sheet-like thing), and it is good also as a structure which does not use the elastic member 25. FIG. In the third embodiment, a plurality of sheet-like fibrous members 23 are provided on the surface of the elastic member 25. However, the elastic member and the sheet-like fibrous member 23 are alternately connected (fibrous member). 23 may not be on the surface of the elastic member 25). If it does in this way, it will become possible to control that fibrous member 23 protrudes greatly to the surface of elastic member 25, for example.

  The slippers 1 and 22 of the above embodiments may be changed to other footwear such as shoes or sandals without other heels to embody the invention.
