It is a coil spring for. The stopper 113 is a part for defining a displacement limit position when the operating arm 109 rotation mounting table 118 is located at the raised position. The damper 114 is a component that applies a load to the displacement of the lock hooking piece 111 when the lock hooking piece 111 is moved away from the indexing rotary body 103 toward the indexing rotary body 103 side. It is constituted by a hydraulic damper that expands and contracts according to the displacement of the lock hooking piece 111.

  A support spring 115 is provided on the bottom plate portion 101 a of the base body 101. The support spring 115 is a coil spring for supporting the rotary mounting table 118 via the insole top plate 116 so as to be movable up and down above the base body 101. A plurality of support springs 115 are provided along the outer edge portion of the bottom plate portion 101 a in the base body 101. In the present embodiment, eleven support springs 115 are provided on the bottom plate portion 101a.

  The insole top plate 116 is a member that supports the rotary mounting table 118 in a slidable state on the support spring 115, and is configured by forming a steel plate into a ring shape having an outer diameter smaller than that of the bottom plate portion 101a. . The insole top plate 116 is disposed on the support spring 115 and the drive source 110 in a state of penetrating the mounting portion 102 b of the mounting table drive shaft 102. In addition, on the upper surface of the insole top plate 116 facing the rotary mounting table 118, concave portions are formed in the radially inner portion and the radially outer portion, and support balls 117 are respectively disposed on the concave portions.

  The support ball 117 is a steel ball for supporting the rotary mounting table 118 on the insole top plate 116 so as to freely rotate and slide. Eight support balls 117 are provided at each of the radially inner portion and the radially outer portion of the insole top plate 116.

  The rotary mounting table 118 is a steel plate part for supporting the footwear S taken off by a person, and is formed in a state in which the outer wall portion 118b hangs down from the outer edge portion of the disk-shaped mounting portion 118a. Yes. In this case, the rotary mounting table 118 is configured to have enough strength to withstand even if a person puts on the mounting part 118a and puts off the footwear S. Further, the rotary mounting table 118 is configured such that the mounting portion 118 a is formed larger than the outer shape of the base body 101, and the outer wall portion 118 b hangs down to the outside of the base body 101.

  In this case, the outer wall portion 118 b is formed in such a length that the lower end portion of the outer wall portion 118 b is placed on the installation surface G of the base body 101 when a person is placed on the placement portion 118 a and descends. The rotary mounting table 118 is covered with the base body 101 so as to cover the upper side of the base body 101 and is supported on the support spring 115 by the fixing bag screw 119 on the mounting portion 102b of the mounting table drive shaft 102. It is fixed. In the present embodiment, the footwear reversing device 100 is formed such that the thickness between the lower surface of the base body 101 and the upper surface of the rotary mounting table 118, that is, the height of the footwear reversing device 100 is 25 mm.

(Operation of footwear reversing device 100)
Next, the operation of the footwear reversing device 100 configured as described above will be described. First, the user of the footwear reversing device 100 prepares the footwear reversing device 100 and then sets the footwear reversing device 100 at a place where the footwear reversing device 100 is used. In this case, the user arranges the footwear reversing device 100 with the ground or floor where the footwear S such as the entrance or the entrance of the room is worn off as the installation surface G.

  Next, the user uses the footwear reversing device 100. Specifically, the user is placed on the placement unit 118 a of the rotary placement table 118 while wearing the footwear S. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the footwear reversing device 100 extends the drive source 110 by the rotary mounting table 118 descending against the elastic force of the support spring 115 and the drive source 110. The operating arm 109 connected to the drive source 110 starts to rotate clockwise around the fulcrum pin 109a.

Therefore, the rotary hook piece 106 connected to the tip of the operating arm 109 has a displacement amount larger than the extension amount of the drive source 110 and the upper side of the hook portion 106a is positioned above the hook portion 106a in the drawing. It slides in contact with the united body 105. That is, the operating arm 109 functions as a displacement enlarging mechanism. Then, the rotating hook 106 is tilted to the left in the drawing until the engaging body 105 is located at the top end of the hooking portion 106a, and then comes off the engaging body 105 and the engaging portion 105 is engaged with the hooking portion 106a. It is hooked by the combined spring 108.

  On the other hand, the lock hooking piece 111 fixedly connected to the operating arm 109 is tilted toward the right side in the figure due to the rotational displacement of the operating arm 109, so that the lock portion 111 a is separated from the engaging body 105. Thereby, the state where the rotational displacement of the indexing rotator 103 is locked is released. However, in this case, the indexing rotary body 103 is not rotationally displaced even when the lock by the lock hooking piece 111 is released because the temporary fixing body 104 is engaged.

  When the user is placed on the mounting portion 118a of the rotary mounting table 118 and the rotary mounting table 118 is lowered, the lower end portion of the rotary mounting table 118 immediately contacts the installation surface G. Thereby, in the footwear reversing device 100, the rotary mounting table 118 supports the load of the user on the installation surface G. Then, the user on the mounting portion 118 a of the rotary mounting table 118 takes off the footwear S on the rotary mounting table 118. In this case, the footwear reversing device 100 is more stable than the case where the rotary mounting table 118 is grounded in a ring shape with respect to the installation surface G, as compared with the case where a human load is supported on the entire surface of the bottom plate portion 101a of the base body 101. Can support people.

The user who has finished taking off the footwear S on the mounting portion 118 a of the rotary mounting table 118 gets off the rotary mounting table 118 and leaves the footwear inversion device 100. Thus, in the footwear reversing device 100, the rotary mounting table 118 is raised by the elastic force of the support spring 115 and the drive source 110, and the operating arm 109 is provided with the fulcrum pin 109a corresponding to each contraction of the drive source 110 and the return spring 112. Starts turning counterclockwise around the center. In this case, the indexing rotator 103 is engaged with the engaging member 105 by the rotating hook 106 connected to the operating arm 109, so that the temporary fixing member 104 is pushed by the displacement force that the operating arm 109 returns. It is rotationally displaced counterclockwise while resisting pressure.

  As a result, the rotary mounting table 118 rises while being rotationally driven clockwise on the insole top plate 116 via the rotational drive of the mounting table drive shaft 102. More specifically, the rotary mounting table 118 is configured so that the mounting table drive shaft 102 is rotated halfway by the rotational displacement of the indexing rotary body 103 by one of the engaging bodies 105, so that the user can move from the rotary mounting table 118. It is rotationally displaced by a half rotation (180 °) from a distant position (see broken line arrow in FIG. 5). Further, in this case, since the load by the damper 114 acts on the operating arm 109 via the lock hooking piece 111, after the user leaves the rotary mounting table 118, the operating arm 109 slowly moves through a predetermined time lag. Start the displacement. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 7, the footwear reversing device 100 can reverse the direction of the footwear S taken off through a time lag by 180 ° after the user takes off the footwear S.

  On the other hand, when the footwear S taken off on the rotary mounting base 118 is put on again, the user puts the footwear S on the mounting portion 118a of the rotary mounting base 118 on which the footwear S whose direction is reversed is placed. Can wear. Also in this case, the footwear reversing device 100 maintains the state where the rotary mounting table 118 is lowered while the user is mounted on the rotary mounting table 118, and after the user has left the rotary mounting table 118. Ascending while rotating.

  As can be understood from the above description of the operation, according to the above embodiment, the footwear reversing device 100 includes the rotary placing table 118 on which the person puts on and takes off the footwear S on the installation surface G of the footwear reversing device 100. An outer wall 118b that hangs down outside the base body 101, and the outer wall 118b is formed to have a length to be placed on the installation surface G when a person is placed on the rotary mounting table 118 and lowered. Yes. In other words, the footwear reversing device 100 is supported by the installation surface G of the footwear reversing device 100 when the rotational placing table 118 on which the person is placed and takes off the footwear S is placed on the rotating placing table 118. The body 101 does not support the rotary mounting table 118 on which a person is placed. Thereby, since the footwear reversing apparatus 100 can comprise the base body 101 easily compared with the past, the whole apparatus can be comprised economically and compactly. In addition, the footwear reversing device 100 is configured such that when the person is placed, the rotating table 118 is pressed against the installation surface G, so that the rotational displacement when the person is placed can be prevented with a simple configuration and the rotating table 118 is based on the base. Since it is directly supported by the installation surface G without passing through the body 101, the stability when a person is placed can be improved.

  Furthermore, in carrying out the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the object of the present invention. In the description of each modification, the same parts as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the footwear reversing device 100 mainly drives the rotation table 118 by the table driving shaft 102, the indexing rotator 103, the operating arm 109, the driving source 110 and the rotation hook 106. Configured to do. That is, the mounting table drive shaft 102, the indexing rotator 103, the operating arm 109, the drive source 110, and the rotation hook 106 correspond to the rotational displacement mechanism according to the present invention. However, the rotational displacement mechanism is not limited to the above-described embodiment as long as it is configured so that the footwear S can be reversed by rotating the rotary mounting table 118. Therefore, the rotational displacement mechanism can be configured to rotationally drive the rotary mounting table 118 by an electric mechanism using a motor or the like in addition to a mechanical mechanism different from the above embodiment.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the rotation mounting base 118 formed the lower end surface of the outer wall part 118b in planar shape. However, the rotary mounting table 118 can be configured such that the lower end surface of the outer wall portion 118b is an uneven surface. According to this, when the person is placed on the rotary mounting table 118, the load on the rotary mounting table 118 is concentrated on the convex portion of the lower end surface of the outer wall portion 118 b, so that the footwear S is placed on the rotary mounting table 118. It is possible to more effectively suppress the displacement of the rotary mounting table 118 when putting on and off. In addition, the rotary mounting table 118 can suppress slipping of the outer wall portion 118b with respect to the installation surface G and prevent the installation surface G from being damaged by configuring the lower end surface of the outer wall portion 118b with an elastic body such as a rubber material. be able to.

Further, in the above embodiment, the footwear reversing device 100 is configured by including the lock hook piece 111 on the operating arm 109. As a result, the footwear reversing device 100 can prevent the rotational mounting table 118 from being rotationally displaced when the rotational mounting table 118 is in the raised position, and at the time of operation of the operating arm 109 due to the lowering of the rotating mounting table 118. The locked state of the indexing rotator 103 can be easily released. However, the footwear reversing device 100 can be provided with the lock hooking piece 111 independently in a portion other than the operating arm 109, and the lock hooking piece 111 can be omitted when the above-mentioned effect is unnecessary. . Further, the lock hooking piece 111 can be formed integrally with the operating arm 109 as shown in FIGS. Note that the footwear reversing device 100 can prevent rotational displacement of the rotary mounting base 118 to some extent when the rotary mounting base 118 is in the raised position only by the temporary fixing body 104.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the footwear reversing device 100 prevents the indexing rotator 103 from being rotationally displaced when the hooking state of the rotary hook piece 106 and the lock hook piece 111 is released. In order to do so, a temporary fixing body 104 was provided. That is, the temporary fixing body 104 corresponds to the rotational displacement suppressing means according to the present invention. However, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, for example, the temporary fixing body 104 can be configured to elastically mesh with the tooth portion 102 a of the mounting table drive shaft 102 instead of the indexing rotary body 103. . In this case, the temporary fastening body 104 has a tooth portion meshing with the tooth portion 102a coupled to the lock hooking piece 111 via a torsion coil spring 104b. Note that the footwear reversing device 100 has a temporary fixing body 104 when the rotational displacement of the indexing rotator 103 when the hooking state of the rotating hook piece 106 and the lock hooking piece 111 is released is allowed. Can be omitted.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the indexing rotary body 103 is provided with the pin-shaped engaging body 105 on the illustration upper surface. However, the engaging body 105 is not necessarily limited to the above-described embodiment as long as the engaging body 105 can be hooked on the rotation hook piece 106 and the indexing rotating body 103 can be rotationally driven. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the engaging body 105 can be formed in a gear shape in which a hooking piece on which the hooking portion 106 a of the rotating hooking piece 106 is hooked is projected from the outer peripheral portion of the disk body.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the footwear reversing device 100 is configured such that the operating arm 109 is displaced downward in the figure by the elastic force of the drive source 110 and the return spring 112 when the footwear reversing device 100 descends from the user on the rotary mounting table 118. did. However, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the footwear reversing device 100 can be configured such that the operating arm 109 is displaced downward in the figure only by the return spring 112 by increasing the elastic force of the return spring 112.

  In the above embodiment, the footwear reversing device 100 is configured to support the rotary mounting table 118 on which the user is mounted by the installation surface G and the support spring 115. However, in addition to these, for example, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the footwear reversing device 100 has a plurality of auxiliary struts 120 arranged substantially evenly in the circumferential direction on the bottom plate portion 101 a of the base body 101 (this modification). In the example, it is possible to support the rotary mounting table 118 on which the user is mounted. Here, the auxiliary column 120 can be formed of a cylindrical body having a length capable of supporting the lower surface of the rotary mounting table 118 that is lowered by the user. The auxiliary strut 120 can be made of a rigid body such as a metal material, but can be made of an elastically deformable material such as a rubber material. In this case, a through hole 116 a is formed in the insole top plate 116 at a position corresponding to the auxiliary column 120. According to this, since the footwear reversing device 100 can support the rotary mounting table 118 in a state where the user is mounted by the auxiliary support column 120, it is possible to suppress the dent deformation of the mounting portion 118a on which the user is mounted. it can.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the footwear inversion apparatus 100 comprised the drive source 110 which generate | occur | produces the force for driving the action | operation arm 109 with the leaf | plate spring. That is, the drive source 110 corresponds to the input side drive means according to the present invention. However, the input side driving means may be any means that generates a force for driving the operating arm 109, and is not necessarily limited to the above embodiment. Therefore, the input side drive means (drive source 110) can be configured by an elastic body (for example, a coil spring or a spiral spring) other than a leaf spring, or a link mechanism or various actuators (for example, an electric motor).

For example, the input side drive means (drive source 110) can be configured with a hinge (for example, a flat hinge or a swaging hinge) as shown in FIGS. In this case, the drive source 110 formed of a hinge is in a state where one end is fixed to the bottom plate portion 101a and the other end is connected to a lock hooking piece 111 formed integrally with the operating arm 109. It is slidably provided on the bottom plate portion 101a. That is, the lock hooking piece 111 to which the other end of the drive source 110 is connected also serves as a part of the operating arm 109, specifically, the end having the shorter distance from the fulcrum pin 109a. In the drive source 110, the rotation connecting portion at the center of the hinge is in contact with the lower surface of the insole top plate 116.

  In the footwear reversing device 100 shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 configured as described above, when the user is placed on the rotary mounting table 118, the other end of the drive source 110 formed of a hinge is indicated by a broken-line arrow in the drawing. In order to extend in the direction, the operating arm 109 and the lock hooking piece 111 rotate clockwise about the fulcrum pin 109a, respectively. As a result, the locked state of the indexing rotator 103 is released, and the rotation hooking piece 106 is displaced upward in the drawing to hook the next engaging member 105. Further, in this case, since the rotary mounting table 118 is supported by the auxiliary support column 120 as described above, deformation that is recessed in a concave shape is suppressed.

When the user descends from the mounting portion 118a of the rotary mounting table 118, the operating arm 109 and the lock hooking piece 111 are rotated counterclockwise around the fulcrum pin 109a by the elastic force due to the contraction of the return spring 112, respectively. To do. As a result, similarly to the above-described embodiment, the rotary mounting table 118 rises while rotating on the insole top plate 116 clockwise through the rotational driving of the mounting table drive shaft 102 and reverses the direction of the footwear S. Let The footwear reversing device 100 shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 is configured by omitting the release spring 107, the stopper 113, and the damper 114, respectively.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the footwear reversing device 100 is configured by providing the damper 114 on the operating arm 109 via the lock hooking piece 111. As a result, the footwear reversing device 100 can give a time lag to the start of the ascending operation while rotating after the rotating table 118 is lowered, and can slowly perform this operation process, and the user takes off the footwear S. After retreating from the rotary mounting table 118, the rotation operation is started slowly, so that it is possible to improve the feeling of use without obstructing the retreating from the rotary mounting table 118. That is, the damper 114 corresponds to the load applying means according to the present invention. However, the load applying means only needs to be configured so as to be able to apply a load to the return displacement of the operating arm 109, and is not necessarily limited to the above embodiment. Therefore, the load applying means can be constituted by a device other than the damper, such as a coil spring or a leaf spring.
