Description

The present invention relates to a shoe size confirmation member for confirming the size of a shoe, a shoe size selection kit including a plurality of shoe size confirmation members of different sizes, and a method for manufacturing the shoe size confirmation member.

When purchasing shoes, you can actually try on shoes at a store and purchase shoes that match your feet. On the other hand, in mail-order sales using the Internet or the like, a purchaser himself/herself specifies a shoe size and places an order. However, even with the same shoe size, there are variations in size depending on the manufacturer, and the characteristics of the feet vary from person to person, so when I actually put on the shoes that were sent to me, they did not fit my feet. There are many cases. In this case, the buyer generally returns the shoes at the expense of the seller, and the seller generally sends the shoes of different sizes to the buyer again. Furthermore, in recent years, buyers have been asked to send multiple shoes of different sizes, select shoes that fit their feet, and then return the remaining shoes at the seller's expense. However, the burden of return costs is becoming excessive. Furthermore, when trying on shoes, there are many cases where the returned shoes are damaged, such as walking on the flooring and scratching the soles.

For this reason, when selling shoes by mail order, a foot size measuring paper that can measure the foot length and the circumference of the foot has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1). This foot size measuring paper is provided with foot length scales for measuring foot length and foot circumference scales for measuring foot circumference on the paper. For example, if you send the foot size measurement paper to the purchaser in advance and have the shoe size specified from the foot length and foot circumference measured with the foot size measurement paper, send the shoes that fit the purchaser's feet to a certain extent Can be reduced. Further, since the foot size measuring paper is made of paper and is lightweight, the shipping cost and the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the second shoe size confirmation member according to the present invention will be described.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a second shoe size confirmation member according to the present invention as seen obliquely from above and to the right. 2 is a plan view of the shoe size confirmation member shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the shoe size confirmation member shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a right side of the shoe size confirmation member shown in FIG. It is a side view. 1 to 4, the shoe size confirmation member 10 for the right foot is shown, and the shoe tree 5 is shown by a chain double-dashed line. Further, in the following description, when the shoe size confirmation member 10 is worn, the part where the toes are located is referred to as the toe 11, the part where the heel contacts is referred to as the heel 12, and the part corresponding to the joint of the blades of the shoe. Will be referred to as a blade portion 13, and a portion corresponding to an inner sole of the shoe will be referred to as an inner sole portion 14 (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the shoe size confirmation member 10 includes a shrink film 2 having a shoe opening 2 a for putting in and out a foot, and a reinforcing tape 3 and an elastic tape 4 attached to the surface of the shrink film 2. Equipped with. Since the shrink film 2 is hidden by the attached reinforcing tape 3 and elastic tape 4, only the portion visible from the mouth 2a is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Further, in FIG. 3, the shrink film 2 is completely hidden, and in FIG. 4, only the wearing opening 2a of the shrink film 2 is shown. In addition, the shrink film 2 may be configured such that the surface thereof is partially exposed.

The shrink film 2 is a film obtained by molding the shoe tree mold 5 by a manufacturing method described later in detail. The shrink film 2 is not particularly limited, and may be polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyolefin, polyethylene terephthalate, or the like as long as it is a material that shrinks by heat and fits into various shapes, but in the present embodiment. Uses polystyrene that is hard to tear (hard to tear). Note that the shrink film generally has a thickness of about 15 μm, but in the present embodiment, a shrink film having a thickness of about 30 μm is adopted to prevent problems such as breakage and holes.

The reinforcing tape 3 includes a first reinforcing tape 31 attached to the toe 11 portion and a plurality of (three in the present embodiment) second reinforcing tapes 32 attached from the first reinforcing tape 31 to the shoe opening 2a. And a third reinforcing tape 33 attached to the heel 12 portion and a fourth reinforcing tape 34 attached to the inner sole portion 14. These reinforcing tapes 3 prevent expansion and contraction of the shrink film 2 and prevent tears and holes.

In the present embodiment, the first reinforcing tape 31 is attached so as to wrap the entire toe portion 11, but when the shoe is actually put on, a slight margin is generated in the toe portion, so the toe portion 11 is shrinkable. The film 2 may be partially exposed. Each of the plurality of second reinforcing tapes 32 is attached in a state in which the second reinforcing tape 32 is wound around the foot in the circumferential direction. In the present embodiment, the plurality of second reinforcing tapes 32 are attached without gaps in the foot length direction, but the second reinforcing tapes 32 suppress expansion and contraction of the shrink film 2 mainly in the foot width direction. Therefore, the plurality of second reinforcing tapes 32 may be attached so that a gap is formed between them.

The third reinforcing tape 33 mainly suppresses expansion and contraction of the heel 12 portion of the shrink film 2, and as shown in FIG. 2, it is attached so as to wind the heel 12 portion in a substantially U shape in a plan view. .. The fourth reinforcing tape 34 mainly suppresses expansion and contraction of the shrink film 2 in the foot length direction, and as shown in FIG. 3, extends in the foot length direction from the heel 12 portion to the toe 11 portion of the inner sole portion 14. It is pasted as it is.

These reinforcing tapes 3 are preferably OPP tapes that do not easily expand and contract in order to suppress expansion and contraction of the shrink film 2. Specifically, a transparent packaging tape (product number: 640PFD-50) manufactured by Nichiban Co., Ltd. and a transparent packaging tape (product number: 315SN) manufactured by 3M Japan Co., Ltd. can be exemplified. In consideration of designability, the colors of the reinforcing tapes 3 may be different from each other, for example, by changing the colors of the first reinforcing tape 31 and the third reinforcing tape 33 with respect to the second reinforcing tape 32.

The elastic tape 4 has a first elastic tape 41 attached around the shoe opening 2a and a second elastic tape 42 attached along the blade portion 13 from the shoe opening 2a. These elastic tapes 4 are more flexible and elastic than the reinforcing tape 3, and vinyl chloride resin tapes are suitable. Further, by using a vinyl chloride resin tape, it becomes resistant to tearing, and the slits can be formed by scissors or the like.

In FIG. 1, a portion surrounded by a one-dot chain line circle of the shoe opening 2a is shown in an enlarged manner. As shown in an enlarged view, the shrink film 2, the third reinforcing tape 33, and the first elastic tape 41 are laminated in the order described from the inner side to the outer side. The third reinforcing tape 33 is not essential at the portion of the shoe opening 2a, and the shrink film 2 and the first elastic tape 41 may be laminated.

Since the shrink film 2 is a model of the shoe tree mold 5, when the shoe size confirmation member 10 is put on, it is possible to obtain the sensation as if the shoes manufactured using the shoe tree model 5 were tried on. Therefore, for example, a purchaser in the mail order can confirm the size of the shoe as if he/she actually tried it on. In particular, since the shoe size confirmation member 10 includes the reinforcing tape 3 that suppresses the expansion and contraction of the shrink film 2, the purchaser stretches when wearing the shoe size confirmation member 10 and the sense of size becomes difficult to understand. The fear is prevented. Further, as shown by dashed line, by forming the slits 421 along the Shaft 2a to the second stretchable tape 42, with more likely to wear, it can be felt even sense to open the portion of the blade. The slit 421 may be formed by the purchaser when wearing the shoe size confirmation member 10 or may be formed in advance before sending the shoe size confirmation member 10 to the purchaser.

Further, the shoe size confirmation member 10 is lightweight, can be folded, and can be mailed by, for example, "Click Post (registered trademark)" manufactured by Japan Post Co., Ltd., and the shipping cost can be suppressed. Further, since the shoe size confirmation member 10 is composed of the shrink film 2, the reinforcing tape 3 made of OPP tape or the like, and the elastic tape 4 made of vinyl chloride resin tape or the like, the manufacturing cost can be kept very low. it can. For this reason, it becomes possible for the purchaser to dispose of it, such as discarding it after it is used up. In the present embodiment, the heel 12 portion of the shoe size confirmation member 10 is formed slightly lower than the heel portion of the shoe. This is because, in the manufacturing method described later in detail, the shoe mold 5 is easily removed from the shoe size confirmation member 10, but if it is too low, the sensation of trial wear is diminished.

So far, the shoe size confirmation member 10 as an example of the second shoe size confirmation member in the present invention has been described, but the first shoe size confirmation member in the present invention is the elastic tape 4 in the shoe size confirmation member 10. Is omitted. Although it is inferior to the shoe size confirmation member 10 in terms of ease of wearing, the first shoe size confirmation member of the present invention can further reduce the manufacturing cost. The first shoe size confirmation member according to the present invention may be provided with one of the first elastic tape 41 and the second elastic tape 42.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a shoe size selection kit of the present invention. The shoe size selection kit is composed of a plurality of shoe size confirmation members, and the plurality of shoe size confirmation members are provided with a shrink film made by taking shoe shoe molds of different sizes. As shown in FIG. 5, in the shoe size selection kit 1 of the present embodiment, a shoe size confirmation member 10′ (for example, a shoe size of 26.5 cm) and a shoe size confirmation member slightly smaller than the shoe size confirmation member 10′. 10'' (for example, shoe size 26.0 cm) and a shoe size confirmation member 10''' (for example, shoe size 25.5 cm) which is slightly smaller than the shoe size confirmation member 10''. Therefore, the shoe size selection kit 1 may be sent to the purchaser, and the purchaser may select the size that best fits the foot and inform the seller. As a result, the risk of returned goods due to different sizes can be greatly reduced. The shoe size selection kit of the present invention may be composed of a plurality of first shoe size confirmation members.
