  (Embodiment 1)

  In the present embodiment, “sandals (sandal shoes)” will be described as an example of “footwear”. Of course, this invention is applicable also to the other footwear provided with an instep belt.

<Configuration of sandals and parts>
FIG. 1 is a side view schematically showing a configuration of a sandal 100 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a plan view schematically showing the configuration of the sandal 100 when viewed from the arrow direction AR shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the sandal 100 is mainly composed of a sole 1 and an insole 2 that form a “sole” of the sandal 100, and an instep belt 3 that forms a “sandal band”. The characteristic configuration of the sandal 100 is that the sole 1, the insole 2, and the instep belt 3 connected and disposed between the outsole 1 and the insole 2 can be easily separated into individual footwear parts. In this way, the parts for footwear of the outsole 1, the insole 2 and the instep belt 3 are detachably integrated by connecting the parts through hook-and-loop fasteners to form the sandal 100. It is in. The shape of each of the outsole 1 and the insole 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is an example, and the overall shapes of the outsole 1 and the insole 2 themselves are both arbitrary and may not be questioned. . Hereinafter, the characteristic configuration of the above-described sandal 100 as a whole will be described in detail while describing the characteristic portions of the respective footwear components that constitute the sandal 100.

  First, FIG. 3 is a plan view schematically showing a configuration on the upper surface 1US side of the bottom 1 of FIG. The upper surface 1US of the bottom 1 is a plane facing the bottom 1BS of the bottom 1 which is a ground contact surface. The top surface 1US of the sole 1 corresponds to the “bottom surface” of the concave portion 1RP having a predetermined depth, the periphery of which is generally surrounded by the outer edge portion 1E as a configuration that the shoe sole normally has. . Here, the outer edge portion 1E is a frame portion or an edge portion formed in a convex shape by the uppermost portion 1UP of the bottom 1. The main bottom 1 has a first surface fastener 4 that is entirely bonded onto the upper surface 1US by a bonding means such as adhesion. In FIG. 3, the first surface fastener 4 is indicated by hatching from the viewpoint of clarification of illustration. This first hook-and-loop fastener 4 is physically attached to each other simply by pressing a “hook surface” raised in a hook shape and a “loop surface” raised in a loop shape and separated from each other only by pulling. It is a fastener with properties. In other words, the 1st surface fastener 4 is a fastener which can be attached or detached freely on the surface. In the following description, each of the second to sixth surface fasteners, which will be described later, is also composed of “surface fasteners” having similar physical properties.

  On the other hand, FIG. 4 is a plan view schematically showing a configuration on the lower surface 2LS side of the midsole 2 of FIG. The bottom surface 2LS corresponds to a plane corresponding to the top surface 1US of the bottom 1 when the sandal 100 shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 4, the insole 2 has a second hook-and-loop fastener 5 that is almost entirely coupled onto the lower surface 2LS by a coupling means such as adhesion. In FIG. 4, the second hook-and-loop fastener 5 is indicated by hatching from the viewpoint of clarification. It should be noted that the hook-and-loop fastener is not coupled to the upper surface 2US of the midsole 2 at all.

  Next, FIG. 5 (a) is a plan view schematically showing the configuration of the surface 3SS side of the upper belt 3 when the upper belt 3 of FIG. FIG. 4B is a plan view schematically showing the configuration of the back surface 3RS side of the upper belt 3; 5 (a) and 5 (b), reference numerals D1 and D2 respectively denote a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction of the upper belt 3 when the upper belt 3 is developed as a single piece in a planar shape. is there. In addition, the upper belt 3 has the back surface 3RS which opposes the surface 3SS and the surface 3SS as above-mentioned.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the upper belt 3 is on the left end side portion 3ELS adjacent to the left end 3EL and the right end 3ER extending in the short direction D2 in the top view in the surface 3SS. And the third surface fastener 6 and the fourth surface fastener 7 which are joined together by stitching means or adhesive means on the right end side portion 3ERS. Therefore, in the example of the present embodiment, no hook-and-loop fastener exists on the portion of the surface 3SS sandwiched between the left end side portion 3ELS and the right end side portion 3ERS.

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the upper belt 3 corresponds to the left end portion 3ELS of the front surface 3SS or the opposite back portion 3ELR and the right end portion 3ERS of the back surface 3SS. Has a fifth hook-and-loop fastener 8 and a sixth hook-and-loop fastener 9 connected to each other on the opposite back surface portion 3ERR by a stitching means or an adhesive means. Similarly, in the example of the present embodiment, no hook-and-loop fastener exists on the portion of the back surface 3RS sandwiched between the back surface portion 3ELR on the left end side and the back surface portion 3ERR on the right end side.

  5A and 5B, the surface fasteners 6, 7, 8, and 9 are indicated by hatching for the sake of clarity. Further, the shape of the upper belt 3 shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b) is an example, and the overall shape of the upper belt 3 itself is arbitrary, and it does not matter.

  Next, the case where the sandals 100 of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are comprised by the combination and coupling | bonding of each above-mentioned footwear parts (outsole 1, insole 2, and instep belt 3) is described in order.

  Here, FIG. 6 shows the back surface 3SS of the upper belt 3 on the lower surface 2LS of the insole 2 through the coupling of each of the fifth and sixth surface fasteners 8, 9 and the second surface fastener 5. It is a figure which shows typically the state couple | bonded partially in the end side. That is, FIG. 6 is a plan view showing the configuration of the insole 2 in a state where the upper belt 3 is attached to the insole 2 when the insole 2 is viewed from below the lower surface 2LS. As shown in FIG. 6, first, the entire fifth hook-and-loop fastener 8 coupled on the back surface portion 3ELR of the upper belt 3 is made to correspond to a predetermined one of the second hook-and-loop fasteners 5 on the lower surface 2LS of the midsole 2. The fifth hook-and-loop fastener 8 is entirely attached to the second hook-and-loop fastener 5 by pressing against the portion. Subsequently, the entire sixth surface fastener 9 coupled on the back surface portion 3ERR of the upper belt 3 is pressed against the corresponding predetermined portion of the second surface fastener 5 on the lower surface 2LS of the midsole 2, The 6-surface fastener 9 is affixed to the second surface fastener 5 entirely. Thereby, the insole 2 provided with the upper belt 3 in which each of the left and right end side portions is attached to the second surface fastener 5 is realized. The order of attaching the fifth surface fastener 8 and the sixth surface fastener 9 may be reverse to the above order.

  Then, the second surface fastener 5 on the lower surface 2LS of the midsole 2 in the state shown in FIG. 6 is entirely applied to the first surface fastener 4 on the upper surface 1US along the outer edge portion 1E of the bottom 1. The double-sided fasteners 4 and 5 are bonded to each other. By such bonding, each of the third surface fastener 6 and the fourth surface fastener 7 of the upper belt 3 is also bonded and joined to the corresponding portion of the first surface fastener 4. As a result, each of the left and right end side portions of the upper belt 3 is disposed between the bottom 1 and the bottom 2 while being sandwiched between the top surface 1US of the bottom 1 and the bottom surface 2LS of the bottom 2. Thereby, the sandal 100 of FIG.1 and FIG.2 is formed.

  On the other hand, in order to take out each footwear part (outsole 1, insole 2 and upper belt 3) having the corresponding hook-and-loop fastener from the completed sandal 100, the procedure is reverse to the above assembly procedure. The footwear parts (the bottom 1, the midsole 2, and the instep belt 3) may be sequentially separated.

  As described above, in the sandal 100 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the back surface 3RS of the upper belt 3 is 1) the connection between the fifth surface fastener 8 and the second surface fastener 2 and 2) the sixth surface. Through the coupling of the fastener 9 and the second surface fastener 5, it is detachably coupled to the lower surface 2 LS of the midsole 2. The front surface 3SS of the upper belt 3 and the lower surface 2LS of the midsole 2 are both 3) a combination of the third surface fastener 6 and the first surface fastener 4, and 4) a fourth surface fastener 7 and the first surface fastener 4. And 5) The second surface fastener 5 and the first surface fastener 4 are connected to each other on the upper surface 1US of the bottom 1 in a detachable manner.

  For example, when the first surface fastener 4 has a “hook surface”, the second surface fastener 5 has a “loop surface”, and the third surface fastener 6 and the fourth surface fastener 7 both have a “loop surface”. On the other hand, each of the fifth surface fastener 8 and the sixth surface fastener 9 has a “hook surface”. Conversely, when the first surface fastener 4 has a “loop surface”, all of the second surface fastener 5, the third surface fastener 6, and the fourth surface fastener 7 have a “hook surface”. The fifth surface fastener 8 and the sixth surface fastener 9 both have a “loop surface”.

  <Advantages of sandals; flexibility to replace each component>

  The technical advantage (action / effect) for the user who wears the above-described sandals 100 is freely and casually available at any time. The above-mentioned footwear parts of the sandals 100 (the bottom 1, the midsole 2, the upper belt 3) Can be replaced or replaced with a favorite corresponding footwear part that fits the sensibility at that time. That is, for each of the above footwear forming the sandal 100, the surface fasteners (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) that are attached to each other to form the sandal 100 as a whole are peeled off and separated. The parts (outsole 1, insole 2 and instep belt 3) are separated into separate single footwear parts. Thereby, the user can replace or replace the footwear part separated into a single item with another footwear part having a different color or the like desired by the user. The procedure for reconfiguring the sandal 100 using the replaced footwear part is as described above and is an easy procedure. The advantages are specifically described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6 as follows.

i) Replacement of the bottom 1 (color change)
The user holds the first bottom 1 and the middle bottom 2 of the sandal 100 by hand and pulls them opposite to each other, thereby peeling and separating the first surface fastener 4 and the second surface fastener 5 that are stuck together. By this operation, the outsole 1 having the first surface fastener 4 on the upper surface 1US becomes an individual footwear component. Therefore, the user replaces the separated outsole 1 with a new outsole that has a different color from the outsole 1 and has the first surface fastener 4 in the same manner on the upper surface 1US. Adopting it as the bottom, the second hook-and-loop fastener 5 of the insole 2 separated from the new hook-and-loop first hook-and-loop fastener 4 is pasted again. Thereby, the user can easily realize the sandal 100 having the new sole 1 having a color different from the previous sole, and can wear the favorite sandal 100 happily.

  ii) Replacement of upper belt 3 (change in color, material, design, etc.)

  First, as described above, the user peels the first surface fastener 4 and the second surface fastener 5 that are attached to each other by holding the main bottom 1 and the midsole 2 of the sandal 100 and pulling them to the opposite sides. Take and separate. As a result of this work, the outsole 1 and the insole 2 with the upper belt 3 that are stuck together are separated into separate footwear parts. Further, the user peels off the second surface fastener 5 and the fifth surface fastener 8 and the second surface fastener 5 and the sixth surface fastener 9 that are attached to each other at the left and right ends of the upper belt 3. Separate. By this separation work, both the insole 2 having the second surface fastener 5 on the lower surface 2LS and the upper belt 3 having the third surface fastener 6 to the sixth surface fastener 9 become separate footwear parts. Therefore, the user replaces the separated upper belt 3 with the third surface fastener 6 to the sixth surface fastener 9 which are different from the upper belt 3 in the components such as color, material, and design. The upper belt is adopted as a new upper belt to be used in the future, and the second surface fasteners 5 of the midsole 2 after separation from each of the fifth surface fastener 8 and the sixth surface fastener 9 of the new upper belt Paste them together again. The subsequent work process for constructing the sandal 100 is as described above. Thereby, the user can easily realize the sandal 100 having the new upper belt 3 having components (color, material, etc.) different from the former upper belt, and the sandal 100 having the favorite upper belt 3. It becomes possible to wear it happily.

  iii) Replacement of insole 2 (color change)

  The process up to the separation of the insole 2 and the upper belt 3 is the same as that described in ii) Replacing the upper belt 3. After the separation, the user replaces the separated insole 2 with a new outsole having a color different from that of the insole 2 and similarly having the second hook-and-loop fastener 5 on the lower surface 2LS. Adopted as a simple bottom, the second bottom fastener 5 of the new bottom and each of the fifth surface fastener 8 and the sixth surface fastener 9 of the separated upper belt 3 are pasted together. The subsequent work process for constructing the sandal 100 is as described above. Accordingly, the user can easily realize the sandal 100 having the new insole 2 having a color different from the conventional insole, and can wear the favorite sandal 100 happily.

  From the above, the combination of the above operations i), ii) and iii) allows the user to enjoy the enjoyment of wearing sandals by realizing various changes due to the replacement of the footwear parts constituting the sandals 100. I can do it.

(Modification)
(1) In Embodiment 1, the upper belt 3 is one, but the number of upper belts is arbitrary. For example, two upper belts that intersect with each other in the X shape or that are adjacent to each other may be employed, and the configuration of each upper belt may be the same as the upper belt 3 of the first embodiment. The “top belt” in the present invention is a term including the concept that the present invention can be applied to the sandal band on the heel side as well as the sandal band on the toe side of the foot. Furthermore, the present invention can also be applied to changing the clogs of clogs to various types, and the “strings” mentioned here are included in the concept of the “top belt” in the present invention.

  (2) In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the first surface fastener 4 is entirely coupled and disposed on the upper surface 1US of the bottom 1. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration of the first surface fastener. For example, the third surface fastener 6 and the fourth surface fastener 7 of the upper belt 3 can be attached to the first surface fastener 4. In such a range, the first surface fastener 4 may be partially coupled and disposed on a portion of the upper surface 1US of the bottom 1. In that case, the second surface fastener 5 is also partially coupled and disposed on the lower surface 2LS of the insole 2 so as to correspond to the position, size, shape, etc. of the first surface fastener 4. The Rukoto.
