[Industrial applications]

 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shoe protector for preventing the rear surface of the heel of a shoe from being damaged when the vehicle is driven.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In the driver's seat of an automobile, a plurality of pedals such as an accelerator and a brake are usually arranged in the lower front part. When stepping on the pedals, especially when stepping on the accelerator pedal, stand the shoe on the floor in a stable condition while standing the shoe diagonally and rotate the tip of the toe on the pedal with the heel as a fulcrum. , The amount of depression is adjusted and maintained.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 When the toe side is rotated around the heel as a fulcrum in the stepping operation of the accelerator pedal as described above, the rear rear surface of the heel and the floor are frequently in sliding contact with each other, and the rear rear surface is gradually rubbed and the shoe is damaged. This is especially the case with leather shoes, where there is a noticeable scratch.

The present invention has been made in an attempt to improve it in view of the conventional situation as described above. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shoe protector capable of preventing slipping scratches.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, a heel cover composed of a peripheral side plate covering both left and right side surfaces and a rear rear surface of a heel part of a shoe and a bottom plate covering a bottom surface of the heel part of the heel is formed of a soft cushioning material, and the inner cover of the peripheral side plate is formed. A soft layer made of a soft cloth is provided on at least the back part of the surface, while a tightening band is extended from one of the left and right side walls of the peripheral side plate, and its tip is detachably fixed to the other side wall. It is characterized by having done.

[0006]

[Action]

 The protective device can be attached to the heel of the shoe by passing the tightening band over the instep with the heel cover on the heel of the shoe and fixing the tip of the band to the other side wall. If the accelerator pedal is depressed in this state, the heel of the shoe does not come into direct contact with the floor, and the shoe is protected by the flexible layer provided on the inner surface of the heel cover, so that the shoe may be scratched during driving. Can be prevented.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a heel cover constituting a shoe protector according to the present invention. The heel cover 1 covers circumferential side plates 2 for covering the left and right side surfaces and the rear rear surface of the heel portion of the shoe, and the bottom surface of the heel portion of the shoe. The heel cover 1 is composed of a bottom plate 3 and is made of a cushioning material made of a soft synthetic resin, a soft rubber, a soft foam or the like.

On the inner surface of the peripheral side plate 2, a soft layer 4 is provided, which is made by sticking a soft and smooth fluffy surface such as velvet or non-woven fabric. The flexible layer 4 is provided at least on the rear part of the inner surface of the peripheral plate 2, but may be provided on the entire inner surface.

In addition, a tightening band 6 is laid across the front end of the peripheral side plate 2 between the left and right side walls 5, 5. One end of the tightening band 6 is attached to one side wall 5, and the other end is detachably fixed to the other side wall 5. As the fastening means at the other end of the tightening band 6, a pair of Velcro fasteners (registered trademark) 7, 7 are used as shown in the figure, or, though not shown, a hook and a retaining ring for engaging the hook. It is also possible to dispose a pair of fasteners composed of and by facing the end of the tightening band 6 formed of a stretchable material and the other side wall 5, and fasten by the engaging action of the hook and the retaining ring.

Further, an inclined surface 8 is formed on the back surface of the bottom plate 3 between the rear portion and the rear portion of the peripheral side plate 2, and the inclined surface 8 stabilizes the heel cover 1 in a tilted state. Trying to get. That is, at the time of operation, the inclined surface 8 stabilizes a predetermined angle in a state where the heel cover 1 is erected upright. Further, a ridge line portion 9 where the inclined surface 8 and the lower bottom surface of the bottom plate 3 intersect is formed to have a rounded shape, and when the toe side is rotated by operating the accelerator pedal, the ridge line portion 9 serves as a fulcrum for smooth rotation. I am trying to get it done.

Further, a plurality of through holes 10 are opened in the bottom plate 3 so as to penetrate both front and back surfaces thereof, so that dust and the like in the heel cover 1 can be dropped from the through holes 10.

As shown in FIG. 2, the shoe protector having the above-described structure has the heel cover 1 attached to the heel portion of the shoe S, the tightening band 6 is passed over the instep, and the end thereof is attached to the side wall 5. It is attached to the shoe S by being fixed. In this state, the pedal operation of the accelerator pedal P is performed. Since the pedal operation of the accelerator pedal P normally rotates the toe side with the heel attached to the floor as a fulcrum, the shoe is accompanied by this rotation. Even if S is extremely inclined, the heel cover 1 does not allow the rear surface of the heel of the shoe S to directly contact the floor, and the cushioning material forming the heel cover 1 provides a cushioning effect. Since the flexible layer 4 is provided on the inner surface of the peripheral side plate 2 with which the rear rear surface of the shoe abuts, the shoe S 1 is not scratched.

[0013]

[Effect of the device]

 According to the present invention, as described above, the heel cover including the left and right side surfaces and the rear back surface of the heel of the shoe and the bottom plate that covers the bottom surface of the shoe is formed of a soft cushioning material, and A soft layer made of a soft cloth is provided on at least the back of the inner surface of the shoe, and the heel cover is detachably attached to the heel of the shoe with a tightening band. It has the excellent effect of preventing the scratches on shoes that occur in the field.
