JP6701494B2 - Foot cover - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a foot cover that is hidden behind shoes such as pumps (mainly women's shoes whose insteps are wide open) when worn and cannot be seen. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a foot cover that is comfortable to wear even in the hot summer with less displacement.

Wearing shoes such as pumps on bare feet has become established as fashion. In this case, if the pumps and the soles of the shoes are in direct contact with each other, the sweat generated in the feet causes the inside of the shoes to become damp, resulting in discomfort.
Therefore, we propose a thin foot cover that covers the toes and the sole including the heel and exposes the instep and ankle, and has a large cut-out so that it is not exposed from the pumps when worn. Has been done. If you wear this foot cover and wear pumps, it looks like you are wearing pumps on your bare feet, and because the foot cover is between the soles and the pumps, the inside of your shoes gets damp due to sweat. It is possible to prevent that.

Although such a foot attachment is referred to as a foot cover in this specification, it may be referred to as a sock cover, an inner sock, a nude sock, a cover sock, or the like.
Since such a foot cover has a large opening so as not to be exposed from the pumps, the wearing position may shift or come off due to friction during walking. On the other hand, if you wear small shoes, you will be exposed from the pumps. A foot cover developed in view of such a problem is disclosed in the following prior art documents.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-292206 (Patent Document 1) discloses that the foot cover may come off the bare feet due to the friction between the pump and the foot cover during walking, or the foot cover may come off when the pumps are taken off and put on. A foot cover in which a friction imparting body is attached to the inner surface of the heel contact portion is disclosed in order to prevent the foot cover from slipping.
Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3165733 (Patent Document 2) discloses that if the rubber cord is provided along the periphery of the opening of the foot cover disclosed in Patent Document 1, the rubber cord cuts into the foot, and the rubber is applied to the foot. In consideration of problems such as the type of string attached, pain, and uncomfortable wearing, a flat rubber was provided along the periphery of the opening so that one side is in contact with the foot. Disclosed is a foot cover having a formed portion.

  Here, there are cases where the friction imparting body of the foot cover disclosed in Patent Document 1 is not sufficient, and in this case, the foot cover may come off or slip off when walking or wearing pumps. To relax. 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 sufficiently wide when the foot cover is worn. In addition to the fact that it may be difficult to wear without opening, there is a problem that the foot cover may come off or slip off when the pumps are taken off and put on, like the foot cover disclosed in Patent Document 1.

Further, when the conventional foot cover is worn and shoes such as pumps are worn in the hot (or sultry) summer, the soles of the feet may become damp and the comfort may not be preferable. Even if a foot cover is worn, it has not been solved in the first place that the sweat inside the shoes when the pumps are in direct contact with the soles of the feet causes the inside of the shoes to become damp and uncomfortable.
The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and its object is to remove the foot cover or shift the wearing position when walking or taking off pumps. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a foot cover that is comfortable to wear even in the hot summer.

In order to achieve the above object, the foot cover according to the present invention takes the following technical means.
That is, the foot cover according to the present invention is a foot cover that covers the instep and the sole and exposes the ankle, and is formed of a sole, a heel, and an instep, and is located above and below the sole. An opening is provided on the opposite side for putting in and out a foot, a stretchable narrow cloth is provided on the upper edge of the opening, and a stretchable narrow cloth is provided on the upper edge of the opening to form the sole. It is characterized in that at least a part of the dough has a mesh shape.

  Preferably, all of the cloth forming the sole portion may have a mesh shape. In addition, the mesh-like (fabric) is a fabric having a large number of fine holes, such as a mesh fabric.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to the foot cover of the present invention, the foot cover does not come off or slip off when walking or wearing pumps, and the foot cover is comfortable to wear even in the hot summer. be able to.

It is the (A) whole perspective view about the foot cover concerning an embodiment of the invention, and the (B) perspective view seen from the back side in the state where the heel was raised.

  Hereinafter, a foot cover according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. There are various foot cover structures, and the present invention is not limited to a particular structure. Any foot cover structure may be used as long as it has the features described below. Basically, it does not matter what kind of cloth the foot cover is made of, the pattern of the cloth and the joining method of the cloth. Therefore, the structure of the foot cover shown below is merely an example.

  In addition, the material forming the foot cover (except that the material forming the sole 104 is a mesh shape) is a bare cloth (a bare cloth: a thread made of another material with a polyurethane thread as an axis ( For plain pantyhose, tricot (a plain knitted fabric knitted with a tricot machine, which is a type of warp knitting machine) Fabric (knitted fabric including polyurethane yarn and nylon yarn) and the like are preferably used. In particular, Bare heaven among them is (1) excellent in stretchability, (2) good in shape stability and little change in shape after washing, and (3) soft in texture and excellent in fit. (4) Wrinkles and creases are not easily formed, (5) Porous structure has air permeability, and (6) Cotton is included, which is preferable for the foot cover because it has good feel and hygroscopicity.

  Furthermore, the foot cover according to the present embodiment is a foot cover that covers the toes and the sole including the heel and exposes the instep and ankle, and covers the sole, the side, the heel and the toe. It is formed by the toes. In addition, although not limited, the foot covers shown below are commonly used on the left and right sides, and are preferable in that the foot covers are worn on both sides, so that the user does not mistakenly wear them on both sides. When the foot cover is not used for both left and right, the left and right feet have symmetrical shapes.

Further, it is characteristic that at least a part (here, all) of the cloth forming the plantar part has a mesh shape. The foot cover according to the present embodiment has a plurality of fabrics (a fabric that forms the toe part 102A and the side part 102B (a fabric that forms the side part 102), a fabric that forms the sole 104, and a heel part 106. However, the joining of these doughs is not limited. For example, the fabrics may be joined together by stitching, and the adhesives are melted by heating with an adhesive tape in which the adhesive is applied to one surface of the strip-shaped member, and the fabrics are heat-bonded to form the fabrics. It does not matter if they are joined together. Here, this joining includes those by thermocompression bonding, those by thermal welding, those by thermal fusion, and the like.

  FIG. 1(A) shows an overall perspective view of a foot cover 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1(B) shows a perspective view of the foot cover 100 in a state where the heel is raised as seen from the back side. Here, FIGS. 1A and 1B assume a state in which the foot cover 100 is worn on the foot F of the wearer. That is, since the foot cover 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is formed of a stretchable material such as tricot, the foot cover 100 is in a contracted state when not shown in the drawing, and the shape should be understood. Since it is difficult, it is assumed as described above.

  The foot cover 100 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. The foot cover 100 is formed of a thin stretchable cloth (a cloth such as tricot) in which an opening, which is a mouth, is largely cut so that the foot cover 100 is not exposed from the pumps when worn. Here, not being exposed from the pumps when worn includes that the foot cover 100 is hidden by the pumps and becomes invisible or hard to see.

  The foot cover 100 is formed of a toe portion 102A, a sole 104, a side portion 102B, and a heel portion 106. As described above, the foot cover 100 includes three materials, that is, the material forming the toe portion 102A and the side portion 102B (the material forming the side portion 102), the material forming the sole 104, and the material forming the heel portion 106. The dough is sewn and joined. More specifically, the material forming the toe portion 102A and the side portion 102B and the material forming the heel portion 106 are formed by two vertical sewing lines 110 on the left and right sides to form the toe portion 102A and the side portion 102B. The cloth forming the heel portion 106 and the cloth forming the sole 104 are sewn together by the suture line 112 along the outer circumference of the sole.

  Further, openings for putting in and out the feet are provided on the upside down side with respect to the sole 104. A stretchable narrow cloth 114 is provided inside the foot cover 100 (on the side where the foot F contacts: on the skin side) over the entire circumference of the upper edge of the opening. When the stretchable narrow cloth 114 is stretched when the foot cover 100 is put on, the opening is opened greatly, so that it is easy to put on, and after the foot cover 100 is put on, the stretchable narrow cloth 114 is contracted to open. Since the portion is small, the foot cover 100 does not come off during walking. The stretchable narrow cloth 114 may be provided on the outer side of the foot cover 100 (the side opposite to the side where the foot F contacts: the shoe side) over the entire circumference of the upper edge of the opening. The stretchable narrow cloth 114 may be provided not on the entire circumference of the upper edge of the opening but on a part of the upper edge, or may be provided intermittently instead of continuously. In any case, the stretchable narrow cloth 114 makes it easy to wear the foot cover 100, and the foot cover 100 is less likely to come off or be displaced due to an operation such as walking. An example of the stretchable narrow cloth 114 is a nylon tape.

  Further, on the upper edge of the heel portion 106 of the foot cover 100, on the inner side of the foot cover 100 (the side where the foot F contacts: the skin side), the heel portion slip stopper formed of a thin transparent sheet of silicon resin or the like is used. It is also preferable to provide 116. As a result, it is possible to improve the adhesion to the heel of the foot F and further prevent the foot cover 100 from shifting from the heel portion of the foot F. It should be noted that the heel portion slip stopper 116 is not an essential component in the foot cover according to the present invention.

  As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the foot cover 100 is characterized in that all (or a part of) the cloth forming the sole 104 has a mesh shape. Composed of dough. The mesh-like material is a material having a large number of fine holes, such as a mesh material (hereinafter, a mesh material will be representatively described). It should be noted that, except that the mesh-like material is provided with a large number of fine holes, the thickness and material are the same as those for forming the other toe portion 102A and the side portion 102B and the material for forming the heel portion 106. Similarly, it is the same as a preferable thin and stretchable cloth such as a cloth for bare heaven, tricot, and pantyhose.

As described above, in the foot cover 100, the fabric of the sole 104 is the mesh fabric (especially, since the entire sole 104 is the mesh fabric), the foot cover 100 should be worn in the (steaming) hot summer. When wearing shoes such as pumps, the breathability of the sole 104 is very favorable, and therefore the comfort of wearing is preferable without getting stuffy. In particular, the use of nylon mesh fabric is particularly preferable in that a soft touch feeling with a good touch can be realized. In addition, it is also preferable to apply a deodorizing process or the like to the material of the sole 104.

  Further, in the sole 104, on the side opposite to the side where the foot F comes into contact (the side which comes into contact with the inner bottom of the pump when wearing the pumps), a foot non-slip formed of a thin sheet of silicone resin or the like is provided. Is also preferable. As a result, the adhesion with the inner bottom of the pump can be enhanced and the position of the foot cover 100 in the pump can be prevented from shifting. It should be noted that this foot slip prevention is also not an essential component in the foot cover according to the present invention.

  In addition, in the foot cover 100, the fabrics forming the foot cover 100 other than the sole 104 (the fabric forming the side portion 102 and the fabric forming the heel portion 106) may be formed of the same co-fabric. Absent. That is, all the foot covers 100 may be formed of the same stretchable fabric (tricot or the like) except for the mesh fabric forming the sole 104. In this foot cover 100, the stretchable narrow cloth 114 is joined to the cloth by heat-bonding the stretchable narrow cloth 114 by melting the adhesive applied to the stretchable narrow cloth 114 by heating the cloth. Has been done. Further, in the foot cover 100, the stretchable narrow cloth 114 and the cloth other than the sole 104 forming the foot cover 100 may be formed of the same cloth.

As described above, according to the foot cover 100 according to the present embodiment, since the material forming the sole 104 is the mesh material, the foot cover 100 should be worn during a (steaming) hot summer to wear shoes such as pumps. Even when worn, the breathability of the sole 104 is very favorable, so that it does not get stuffy and is extremely comfortable to wear.
It should be understood that the embodiments disclosed this time are exemplifications in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is shown not by the above description but by the claims, and is intended to include meanings equivalent to the claims and all modifications within the scope.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is suitable for a foot cover to be worn with bare feet, and even if the foot cover is worn and shoes such as pumps are worn in the (steaming) hot summer, the breathability of the soles is very preferable, and it is stuffy It is particularly preferable because it is extremely comfortable to wear.
