Description

  The present invention relates to a foot cover that is hidden behind shoes such as pumps (mainly women's shoes whose upper part that is a mouth is wide open) when worn, and in particular, can be removed or moved by an action such as walking. The foot cover is less likely to slip and is comfortable to wear.

Wearing shoes such as pumps on bare feet has become established as a fashion. In this case, if the pump and the sole are in direct contact with each other, the sweat inside the shoe may become stuffy due to sweat generated on the foot, resulting in an uncomfortable feeling.
Therefore, we propose a thin foot cover that covers the toes and the sole including the heel and exposes the instep and ankle, and the mouth is greatly cut so that it is not exposed from the pump when worn. Has been. If you wear this foot cover and wear pumps, it looks like you are wearing pumps on your bare feet, and the foot cover is between the sole and the pumps, so sweat sweats the inside of the shoes Can be prevented.

In addition, although such a foot mounting device is described as a foot cover in this specification, it may be described as a socks cover, inner socks, nude socks, cover socks, or the like.
Since such a foot cover has a large cut mouth so as not to be exposed from the pump, the wearing position may be shifted or removed due to friction during walking. On the other hand, if the mouth is made small, it will be exposed from the pumps. A foot cover developed in view of such a problem is disclosed in the following prior art documents.

In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-292206 (Patent Document 1), the foot cover may be removed from the bare foot due to friction between the pump and the foot cover during walking, or the foot cover may be removed when the pump is removed. In order to prevent shifting, a foot cover in which a friction imparting body is attached to the inner surface of the heel contact portion is disclosed.
Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3165733 (Patent Document 2) discloses that when a rubber string is provided along the periphery of the opening of the foot cover disclosed in Patent Document 1, the rubber string bites into the foot, so that the rubber is applied to the foot. In consideration of problems such as laces being attached, feeling pain, and poor comfort, a belt-like stretch that has flat rubber along the periphery of the opening so that one side touches the foot The foot cover which formed the part is disclosed.

JP-A-10-292206 Utility Model Registration No. 3165733

  However, in some cases, the foot cover friction imparting body disclosed in Patent Document 1 may not be sufficient. In this case, the foot cover may be removed or the wearing position may be shifted when walking or taking off the pumps. To do. In the flat rubber disclosed in Patent Document 2, since the flat rubber is provided over the entire periphery of the opening (depending on the elasticity of the flat rubber), the opening is sufficient when the foot cover is worn. In addition to the case where it is difficult to wear without opening, there is also a problem that the foot cover may be removed or the wearing position may be shifted when the pump is taken off, as with the foot cover disclosed in Patent Document 1.

  Furthermore, the flat rubber disclosed in Patent Document 2 is bonded to the inside of the fabric at the periphery of the opening, and this flat rubber is larger than the rubber cord used in conventional foot covers. Since it is flat, there is a problem that flat rubber is easily noticeable. Moreover, since it is adhere | attached inside the fabric of the periphery of an opening part, there also exists a problem that the upper edge of flat rubber contact | abuts skin and a touch is not preferable.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the object of the present invention is to make the opening sufficiently open and easy to wear when the foot cover is worn, and at the time of walking and pumps. An object of the present invention is to provide a foot cover that is not noticeable and comfortable to wear, in which the foot cover does not come off or the position of the shoe does not shift when the shoe is worn off.

In order to achieve the above object, the foot cover according to the present invention employs the following technical means.
That is, the foot cover according to the present invention is a foot cover that covers the toe and the sole including the heel and exposes the instep and the ankle, and covers the sole, the side part, the heel part, and the toe. Formed with a toe-shaped part, and provided with an opening for putting the foot in and out on the opposite side of the sole, the side part forming the opening is folded back at its upper edge, and stretched to the folded part It is characterized by the inclusion of a narrow fabric.

Preferably, the sole portion is extended to form the toe portion, and a portion where the toe contacts abuts with a seam.

FIGS. 1 and 4 are perspective views of the foot cover 100 and the foot cover 200, respectively. FIGS. 2 and 5 are perspective views of the foot cover 100 and the foot cover 200, respectively.
3 and 6 and 7 are cross-sectional views of the foot cover 100 and the foot cover 200 in the heel direction or the toe direction (the cross-sectional line is shown in FIG. 9), and FIG. 8 is a back view of the foot cover 200. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the foot cover 200 in the lateral direction. 1 to 9 assumes a state in which a foot cover is worn on the wearer's foot F. That is, the foot cover according to the embodiment of the present invention is formed of a stretchable fabric such as pantyhose, and therefore is assumed to be in a shrunken state when not illustrated and to understand the shape. This is assumed as described above.

Each of the foot covers 100 and 200 is a foot cover that covers the toes of the wearer's foot F and the sole including the heel and exposes the instep and ankle. Each of the foot covers 100 and 200 is formed of a thin stretchable fabric (fabric such as pantyhose) in which an opening serving as a wear mouth is largely cut so as not to be exposed from the pump when worn.
The foot cover 100 is formed by a toe portion 102A, a sole portion 102B, a side portion 106A, and a heel portion 106B. The foot cover 200 is formed of a toe portion 202A, a sole portion 202B, a sole portion 202C, a side portion 206A, and a heel portion 206B.

And the opening part for putting in / out a leg to the up-and-down opposite side with respect to the sole part 102B, 202B, 202C is provided. Stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are provided on the upper edges of the side portions 106A and 206A that form the openings, respectively.
Then, as will be described later as the first characteristic portion, the foot covers 100 and 200 are formed with folded portions 106R and 206R formed by folding the side portions 106A and 206A forming the openings at the upper edges thereof. The folded portions 106R and 206R are characterized by including stretchable and narrow fabrics 116 and 216, respectively. The widths of the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 (the length in the height direction when the foot cover is worn) are substantially equal to the folded widths of the folded portions 106R and 206R of the side portions 106A and 206A. .

Further, as will be described later as the second characteristic portion, in the foot covers 100 and 200, the bottom portions 102B and 202B are extended to form the toe portions 102A and 202A (that is, the toe portion 102A and the bottom portion 102B are The same fabric 102, the toe portion 202A and the sole 202B are the same fabric 202), and the portion where the toe contacts is not provided with a seam.
In addition, the foot cover 100 and the foot cover 200 are formed by a double fabric (a sole portion 202B and a sole portion 202C) at the bottom of the foot cover 200. The point that the cushion material 220 is included in the part is different, and other configurations are the same. These features (double bottom and cushion material 220) in the foot cover 200 will be described later as a third feature.

  Further, on the legs F side (inside) of the folded portions 106R and 206R in which the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are included in the heel portions 106B and 206B, the heel formed of a thin transparent sheet such as silicon resin Partial slip stoppers 118 and 218 are provided. Thereby, the adhesiveness with the heel of foot F can be improved and it can prevent that foot covers 100 and 200 shift from foot F. The buttocks non-slip 118 and 218 are not essential components in the foot cover according to the present invention.

  In addition, the soles 102B and 202B are formed of a thin sheet of silicone resin or the like on the side opposite to the side in which the foot F is in contact (the side in contact with the inner bottom of the pump when the pump is worn). You may make it provide. Thereby, the adhesiveness with the inner bottom of a pump can be improved, and it can prevent that the position of the foot covers 100 and 200 in a pump shifts | deviates. In addition, it is also preferable that this plantar part anti-slip | float improves design nature with a star pattern etc. Further, this sole slip prevention is not an essential component in the foot cover according to the present invention.

Furthermore, although the foot covers 100 and 200 do not include the toe opening in the toe portion 102A, the foot cover 200 may have the toe opening in the toe portions 102A and 202A. It is also preferable to provide a stretchable narrow fabric around the entire circumference of the toe opening. This stretchable narrow fabric is also provided in a folded portion where the periphery forming the toe opening is folded back, similarly to the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 described later. When the stretchable narrow fabric is provided at the periphery of the toe opening as described above, the periphery of the toe opening is folded in the same manner as the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 described later. Compared with the case where the stretchable narrow fabric is provided without being folded back, the edges of the stretchable narrow fabric do not come into contact with the skin, so that the touch is smooth. Furthermore, although the stretchable narrow fabric is provided in the above-described manner (a manner in which the periphery of the toe opening is folded in a folded portion) around the entire circumference of the toe opening, the stretchable narrow width is provided in a part of the toe opening. The fabric may be provided in the manner described above.

Below, the 1st characteristic part and 2nd characteristic part in the foot covers 100 and 200 which concern on this Embodiment, and the 3rd characteristic part in the foot cover 200 which concerns on this Embodiment are demonstrated in detail.
[First feature]
With reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, the 1st characteristic part which makes the folding | returning parts 106R and 206R which turned back the upper edge of the side edge parts 106A and 206A enclose the elastic | stretch narrow fabrics 116 and 216 is demonstrated. 3 and 6 are cross-sectional views at the approximate center in the length direction of the foot covers 100 and 200, as viewed from the toe direction in the heel direction. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are included in folded portions 106R and 206R that are folded at the upper edges of the side portions 106A and 206A. In this case, it is preferable that an adhesive having good adhesion to the fabric forming the foot cover is applied to both surfaces of the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216. If this is not the case, it is preferable that an adhesive having good adhesion to the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 is applied to the opposing surfaces of the folded portions 106R and 206R. Using such an adhesive, the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are included in the folded portions 106R and 206R so that the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are sandwiched between the folded portions 106R and 206R. In any of the foot covers 100 and 200, the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are joined to the foot cover fabric by a hot press apparatus suitable for the adhesive described above.

  If the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are provided so as to be included in the upper edges of the side portions 106A and 206A as described above, the stretchable narrow fabric that can be visually recognized when worn while maintaining the stretchability of the opening. 116 and 216 can be made inconspicuous, which is preferable in appearance. Further, since the upper edges of the side edges 106A and 206A become the folded portions of the folded portions 106R and 206R, when the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are provided without folding the upper edges of the side edges 106A and 206A. In comparison, the upper edges of the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 do not come into contact with the skin, and there is no sewing line for fixing the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216. Become.

  Further, in these foot covers 100, 200, stretchable narrow fabrics 116, 216 are also provided on the upper rear edges of the toe portions 102A, 202A. Similar to the side portions 106A and 206A, the upper edges of the toe portions 102A and 202A are folded back to form the folded portions 102R and 202R, and the stretched narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are attached to the folded portions 102R and 202R. It is included.

  In the present embodiment, the stretchable narrow fabric 116 is formed on the entire circumference of the opening (that is, the toe portion 102A and the side portion 106A in the foot cover 100 and the toe portion 202A and the side portion 206A in the foot cover 200). 216 is provided in the above-described manner (a manner in which the upper edge of the side portion is folded to form a folded portion and enclosed in the folded portion), but the stretchable narrow fabric is provided in a part of the opening in the manner described above. It may be a thing. For example, as such an embodiment, one in which the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are not provided on the rear edge on the upper side of the toe portions 102A and 202A can be considered. Thus, even in the case where the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are not provided on the rear edge on the upper side of the toe portions 102A and 202A, in the portion where the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are provided, As described above, the stretchable and narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are provided in the folded portion obtained by folding the upper edges of the side portions 106A and 206A forming the openings.

[Second feature]
With reference to FIGS. 2-3 and FIGS. 5-7, in the foot covers 100 and 200, the 2nd characteristic part by which the bottom part 102B, 202B is extended and the toe | tip part 102A, 202A is formed is demonstrated. To do. Note that the foot cover 200 includes a third feature portion that forms a double bottom of the sole portion 202B and the sole portion 202C in addition to the second feature portion. For this reason, the description of the second characteristic portion will be described by using the foot cover 100 as a representative.

  The foot cover 100 is formed by sewing two fabrics, a fabric 102 and a fabric 106, except for the stretchable narrow fabric 116 and the buttocks slipper 118. The fabric 102 forms a toe portion 102A and a sole portion 102B, and the fabric 106 forms a side portion 106A and a heel portion 106B. Thus, since the toe part 102A and the sole part 102B are formed of one piece of fabric 102, the seam is not provided at the part where the toe contacts (except the part where the sole contacts). For this reason, the comfort of the foot cover 100 is preferable and the touch becomes smooth. Further, since the side portion 106A and the heel portion 106B are formed of a single piece of fabric 106, there is no seam at the portion where the heel contacts (except the portion where the sole contacts). For this reason, the comfort of the foot cover 100 is preferable and the touch becomes smooth. In particular, even if the fabric forming the foot cover 100 is made thick or made into a jacquard pattern (which may be woven or knitted), the end portion (cutting portion) of the fabric comes inward, so that it looks good. Weaving and knitting yarns never come loose.

  In addition, although the double bottom is formed in the foot cover 200, as shown in FIG. 7, the toe portion 202C has a toe portion 202A (the toe portion 202A and the bottom portion 202B are formed by a single cloth 202). In addition, it is affixed by a double-sided adhesive tape 230 with an adhesive having good adhesion to the fabric applied on both sides, and the toe is applied similarly to the foot cover 100 (although it has a double bottom). The contact portion (excluding the portion where the sole comes into contact) is not provided with a seam, and the comfort of the foot cover 200 is preferable and the touch becomes smooth.

[Third feature section]
4 to 7, in the foot cover 200, the sole portion is formed of a double fabric (the sole portion 202B and the sole portion 202C), and between the double fabrics and at the toe portion. The 3rd characteristic part in which the cushion material 220 is included is demonstrated. Note that the foot cover 100 does not include this third feature. For this reason, the description of the third feature will be described using the foot cover 200.

  In the foot cover 200 as well, like the foot cover 100, the toe portion 202A and the sole portion 202B are formed of one piece of fabric 202. In order to form a double bottom in the foot cover 200, as shown in FIG. 6, on the heel side, the sole portion 202 </ b> C forms a sole portion 202 </ b> B (a part of one piece of fabric 202 that forms a toe portion 202 </ b> A and a sole portion 202 </ b> B). ) And the heel portion 206B (a part of one piece of fabric 206 forming the side portion 206A and the heel portion 206B), and as shown in FIG. 7, on the toe side, the sole portion 202C has a toe portion 202A. Is attached with a double-sided adhesive tape 230.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a cushion material 220 is included in the toe portion between the double fabrics. The cushion material 220 is formed of a thin sheet such as silicon resin. The shape, position and material of the cushion material 220 are preferably selected as appropriate for the purpose of reducing fatigue during walking.
The cushion material 220 is sewn to the sole portion 202B that contacts the sole (shown by a sewing line 222), and the cushion material 220 is not sewn to the sole portion 202C that contacts the sole, and is sewn to the sole side. There is no incoming line. The cushion material 220 may be adhered with an adhesive between the double fabrics.

  Thus, since the cushion material 220 is provided so as to contact the toe portion, it is difficult to get tired (for example) when walking with the foot cover 200 worn. Furthermore, since the cushion material 220 is provided on the sole side without the sewing line appearing in this way, the comfort of the foot cover 200 is preferable and the touch becomes smooth. In addition, since the sole portion has a double bottom, it is possible to reinforce the toe portion and the heel portion that are easily torn during walking.

[Cloth]
In addition, as described below, the stretchable narrow fabric may be formed of the same fabric as any of the fabrics that form the toe part, the sole part, the side part, and the heel part, the toe part, the sole part, You may form with the fabric different from all of the fabric which forms a side part and a collar part.
For example, in the foot covers 100 and 200, the toe portions 102A and 202A, the bottom portions 102B and 202B (further, the bottom portion 202C), the side portions 106A and 206A, and the heel portions 106B and 206B are formed. It is formed of the same fabric, and the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are the same co-fabric as this fabric. That is, the foot covers 100 and 200 are all formed of the same stretchable fabric.

  Further, in the foot covers 100 and 200, the toe portions 102A and 202A, the sole portions 102B and 202B (further, the sole portion 202C), the side portions 106A and 206A, and the heel portions 106B and 206B are not necessarily the same fabric, and are stretchable. The narrow fabrics 116 and 216 may be different from any of these fabrics or may be the same as any of these fabrics. For example, in the foot covers 100 and 200, the toe portions 102A and 202A, the side portions 106A and 206A, and the heel portions 106B and 206B of the foot covers 100 and 200 are the same stretchable fabric, and the soles 102B and 202B (further, The sole portion 202C) and the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are different stretch fabrics, and the sole portions 102B and 202B (and the bottom portion 202C) and the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are not the same fabric (same May be dough). That is, in this case, the foot covers 100 and 200 are formed of two or more different types of stretchable fabrics, and the stretchable narrow fabrics 116 and 216 are composed of the toe portions 102A and 202A, the soles 102B and 202B (and The fabric may be the same as or different from the fabric of the sole portion 202C), the side portions 106A and 206A, and the heel portions 106B and 206B.

Furthermore, the foot cover according to the present invention may be in other modes.For example, the foot cover according to the present invention has a combination of the type and position of the stretchable narrow fabric provided in the opening,
(1) A foot cover in which the stretchable narrow fabric provided on the upper edge of the side portion forming the opening is a co-fabric and the stretchable narrow fabric is not provided on the rear edge on the upper side of the toe portion. Even if there is (there is not a stretchable narrow fabric all around the opening)
(2) A foot cover in which the stretchable narrow fabric provided on the upper edge of the side portion forming the opening is not a co-fabric and the stretchable narrow fabric is not provided on the rear edge above the toe portion. Even (there is no stretchable narrow fabric around the entire circumference of the opening)
(3) A foot cover in which the stretchable narrow fabric provided on the upper edge of the side portion forming the opening is a co-fabric and the stretchable narrow fabric is provided on the rear edge above the toe portion. Even if there is a stretch narrow fabric around the entire circumference of the opening,
(4) A foot cover in which the stretchable narrow fabric provided on the upper edge of the side portion forming the opening is not a co-fabric and the stretchable narrow fabric is provided on the rear edge on the upper side of the toe portion Even (the stretch narrow fabric is provided all around the opening)
I do not care.

[Effect of the foot cover according to the embodiment]
As described above, the foot cover according to the present embodiment has the first feature that the upper end of the side portion is folded and the elastic narrow fabric is included, and the toe portion has no seam (double bottom The toe side has a second feature portion (tape) and / or a third feature portion in which a cushion material is included in the toe portion with a double bottom. For this reason, while maintaining the stretchability of the opening, it is possible to obscure the stretchable and narrow fabric that can be visually recognized when worn, and it is preferable in terms of appearance, and the stretchable thin fabric is not folded back to the upper edge of the side portion. Compared with the case where a wide fabric is provided, the fabric of the folded side portion is brought into contact with the skin instead of the upper edge of the stretchable narrow fabric, so that a smooth touch is achieved. In addition, since the seam is not provided in the portion where the toe contacts (except the portion where the sole contacts), the foot cover is preferably comfortable and smooth. Further, since the cushion material is provided so as to contact the toe portion as described above, for example, when walking while wearing the foot cover, it is difficult to get tired. In addition, since the cushion material 220 is provided on the sole side without showing a sewn line, the comfort of the foot cover 200 is preferable and the touch becomes smooth, and the sole portion is double-bottomed. It is possible to reinforce the toe portion and the heel portion that are easily torn.
