Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial field of application This invention relates to thongs used in footwear such as geta and sandals.

Conventional technology Generally, a thong consists of a thong at the front end that is attached to the front of footwear and held between the toes, and a left and right thong that separates from the base of the toes to the left and right sides of the instep and is attached to the footwear at the sides. It is well known that it consists of

Problems that the invention aims to solve As mentioned above, the thong, which consists of the thong at the front end and the thongs on the left and right sides, is distributed and sold attached to footwear such as geta or sandals, so the purchaser can If you don't choose footwear with a thong that fits your foot type, it will be uncomfortable to wear, causing problems such as the thong becoming slippery or easily coming off. In such cases, conventional methods have been to use the stretch of the material to match the size of the foot, or to change the thong specifically to fit the foot, but this is time-consuming and costly. Therefore, it has been desired to develop a thong that can be easily adjusted to suit the feet of the person who purchased the footwear while still attached.

Means to Solve the Problem Therefore, the present invention has been developed by fitting the left and right straps to the front part of the thong so that they are aligned, so that the length of the thong can be adjusted according to the height and size of the instep of the foot. A thong is characterized in that an adjustable adjustment member is slidably fitted therein.

Function As described above, the thong of the present invention has an adjustment member that can adjust the length of the thong, which is slidably fitted to the front part of the thong, so that the thong can be worn in the same way as a normal thong. By putting on the shoes and moving the above-mentioned slidable adjustment member along the left and right laces, and adjusting it to the appropriate tightening position that matches the size of the foot, it can be adjusted to the size of the purchaser's foot and the height of the instep. The thong can be adjusted and the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional method can be eliminated.

Embodiment The embodiment shown in the drawings is a case where the present invention is applied to sandals, and the present invention will be described below with respect to this embodiment.

In the diagram, A is mainly footwear. B is mainly this footwear A
A thong attached in the same way as a normal thong. 1 is a thong part formed at the front end of thong B. 2 is an adjustment member slidably fitted to the front part of the thong B. Reference numeral 3 denotes a left thong that extends behind the thong part 1 with the adjustment member 2 in between. 4 is the cord on the right side as well.
In other words, in this embodiment, the thong B is composed of two left and right thongs 3 and 4, and the adjustment member 2 is fitted to the front part thereof.

This thong B configured as described above can be used for people with large insteps by moving the adjusting member 2 forward to appropriately shorten the length of the thong part 1 and adjusting the length of the thong part 1 on the left and right sides. Correspond to this by making the length relatively longer. In addition, in the case of a person with a low instep or a person with a small instep, by moving the adjustment member 2 backward, the adjustment member 2 can be adjusted to the foot type while being attached to the main body of footwear A.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the adjustment member 2 is
It has a similar structure to the well-known fasteners used to fasten buckles to the ends of belts,
When the top cover plate 5 is opened via the fulcrum P, the adjustment member 2 can be slid, and by closing the top cover plate 5 at the adjustment position and inserting both sides between the latching protrusions 6, the adjustment member 2 can be slid. Fixed in position.

The adjusting member 2 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 consists of a pair of left and right cylindrical bodies 7 that are connected briefly at the center and fit into the cords 3 and 4, respectively.

The cylindrical adjustment member 2 of the embodiment may be configured to be fixed to the adjustment position within a practical range by frictional resistance generated on the fitting surface with the thong B by using an appropriate material, or, for example, It is forcibly fixed to the thong B using a fastener or adhesive. Moreover, the cylindrical adjustment member 2
The tube is not limited to one through which the left and right cords 3 and 4 are passed separately, but may be in the form of a single cylinder through which both can be passed.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention includes an adjustment member that is slidably fitted to the front part of the thong so as to align the left and right thongs, thereby adjusting the length of the thong. Therefore, by moving the adjusting member along the left and right laces, the thong can be adjusted while attached to the footwear to match the size of the wearer's foot or the height of the instep. Therefore, even if footwear is uniformly manufactured, it can be tailored to the purchaser's foot on the spot, or
This has the practical effect of allowing you to adjust the footwear yourself to make it a comfortable fit for your feet.
