Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to shoes which are used, for example, for evacuation in the event of a disaster and can walk safely and swiftly even on rough roads or rocky places.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, it has been said that there is a possibility of a large earthquake with an epicenter directly below a large city such as Tokyo. It is necessary to evacuate safely. For this reason, there is a growing awareness of having emergency food such as campans, drinking water, flashlights, medicines such as flaw medicines, and evacuation and disaster prevention supplies such as helmets and disaster prevention hoods. However, it is a blind spot regarding safe shoes to be worn during evacuation, and the fact is that they are not considered so much.

[0003]

According to the simulation, for example, when a large damage such as a building collapse due to a direct earthquake occurs in the central part of Tokyo, it is necessary to surely escape from the expanding fire in the city center. From 20 to 30 km
It has been found that the area must be moved within 5 hours. However, a large amount of window glass, fragments of fluorescent lights, and other damaged materials are scattered inside and outside densely packed buildings and roads, making it slippery, so it is not possible to wear it with ordinary leather shoes, sandals, or women's high heels. It is expected that it will be extremely difficult to walk to the evacuation zone safely and quickly on foot. In fact, when evacuating to the outskirts of a metropolitan area, a highway is assumed as an evacuation route, but there is a possibility that it will be divided by a highway, pedestrian bridge, iron bridge, overpass, building collapse, fire, etc. High, in such cases, the main evacuation route is on the track premises (on the track)
I can only think about it, and I can not walk very much with ordinary shoes for commuting. Therefore, the main technical problem of the present invention is that shoes that are suitable for walking on evacuation routes or rough roads that are difficult to walk with ordinary shoes, are convenient for storage, and can be easily worn and walk quickly. To provide.

[0004]

The above-mentioned technical problems are as follows.
The present invention can effectively solve the problem. That is, the shoe according to the present invention includes a shoe main body having a sole made of an elastic material and a cloth upper which is integral with the sole, and a vertically extending split portion provided with fasteners, the lower end of which is the upper end of the shoe main body. The lower leg cover made of cloth connected to the mouth part, and the ankle cover made of elastic cloth sewn between the notch on the lower front surface of the lower leg cover and the upper end wearing mouth part of the shoe body. It is tightly bound via a binding band.

[0005]

[Function] In this shoe, the lower leg cover is opened from the split part to the left and right,
After inserting the foot from the lower leg into the shoe body, by closing the fasteners of the dividing portion and tightly binding the lower leg with the binding band, it is possible to wear it firmly and quickly. Since it has a sole made of material, it is possible to walk safely and swiftly even on a road where it is difficult to walk with ordinary shoes. Instep cover of the shoe body that protects the instep,
The crus that protects the crus, calves and ankles, including the ankle, is made of cloth, so it is lightweight and does not easily get damp,
Moreover, the front of the lower end of the lower leg, which is the front of the ankle portion, is notched, and the ankle cover that closes the notch is made of stretch fabric, so that walking for a long time does not cause fatigue. Further, during storage, it can be folded in a small size by folding the upper cover and lower leg of the shoe body with the ankle cover and tightly binding with the binding band of the lower leg.

[0006] The tip of the shoe body is divided into a fork into a portion into which the thumb is inserted and a portion into which the other finger is inserted, so that the shoe can be walked easily and walking on a rough road is further facilitated. You can Also, by providing a light reflecting means at a required position on the instep surface of the shoe body, when walking at night,
Since the light reflecting means shines brightly even with a slight amount of light, safety of walking can be achieved.

In order to facilitate the wearing and tight binding of the lower leg, the binding band is sewn to one side of the divided portion of the lower leg and the distal end is attached to the other side of the divided portion. It is preferable that the structure is folded back through the sewn buckle, and the facing surfaces of the folded back portion are locked to each other via a pair of locking pieces by hook and loop fasteners. In this case, the tying band is formed by squeezing the crus on the side opposite to the dividing portion, so that the folds formed by the narrowing are formed on the side where the fastener does not exist. If the folds that are folded back into a substantially S-shape are formed in the middle of the position where the buckle is sewn, irregular folds are not formed due to the binding band being narrowed down, and comfort is not impaired. Also, if another fastening piece that is fastened to the tip of the binding band is sewn to the surface of the lower leg in the extension direction of the base end of the binding band, the lower leg of the user will be Even if it is thinner than the standard, the binding band folded back through the buckle is sufficiently squeezed and the tip thereof is locked to the other locking piece, so that the lower leg can be firmly bonded.

It consists of a cloth instep 12. The instep cover 12 is made of cotton (eg, denim) cloth, and the toe part 121 and its vicinity and the heel part 122 are reinforced by two layers. The instep 12 is formed with a U-shaped elongated foot dorsal notch 12b continuously extending from the upper end mouth 12a to the front of the back of the foot, and the surface of the waist 123 of the instep 12 and the rear seam 124. A light-reflecting tape 125 made of vinyl chloride cloth or the like mixed with a light-reflecting agent that emits fluorescence when light is incident on it is also sewn. Further, in the shoe body 10, the toe part 121 of the instep 12 and the corresponding tip part of the sole 11 are the part 10a into which the thumb of the foot is inserted and the part 10 into which the other finger is inserted.
The shoe body 10 is divided into two forks, that is, the shoe body 10 has a sneaker-like appearance as a whole, but the toes are shaped like a socks.

The lower leg cover 20 is a tapered sleeve made of cotton (for example, denim) cloth similar to the upper cover 12 of the shoe body 10, and has a lining 21 provided on the inner surface thereof. One circumferential position on the inner crotch side (above the arch) of the lower leg 20 is divided by a dividing portion 22 extending from the upper end to the lower end thereof, and one circumferential position on the opposite side is divided.
A fold 23 that is folded back into a substantially S shape and extends vertically is formed. Both sides 22a and 22b of the divided portion 22 can be opened and closed with each other via a zipper (fastener) 24, and the inner surface of the one side 22a prevents the hem of the pants or the like from being caught in the zipper 24. In order to cover the inside of the zipper 24 and reach the inner side surface of the other side 22b of the split portion 22,
Is sewn on. Further, an inverted U-shaped notch 26 is formed on the front surface of the lower end 20a of the lower leg 20. That is, the lower end of the lower leg 20 connected to the upper end opening 12a of the shoe body 10 by sewing. 20a is adapted to cover the left and right ankles and the Achilles tendon.

The ankle cover 30 is made of, for example, a knit material made of a mixture of wool, cotton, and acrylic, which has good elasticity, breathability, and feel to the skin. The upper 12 of the upper 12 of the upper 12 of the shoe body 10 is covered.
It is sewn between a and the dorsal notch 12b formed continuously with a and the notch 26 in front of the lower end 20a of the lower leg 20 to cover the front part of the ankle.

On the lower leg cover 20, two binding bands 40 and two buckles 41 corresponding to the binding bands 40 are located at a half circumference portion on the opposite side of the split portion 22 which is opened and closed by the zipper 24.
A pair of upper and lower is provided on both sides of. Each binding band 4
In 0, each of the base ends 40a is sewn at a position on the rear side of the folds 23, and each buckle 41 has a piece of cloth at the same height as each sewn position of the base end 40a and a position on the front side of the folds 23. It is sewn via 41a. Half 4 near the tip of the binding band 40
0b and the half portion 40c near the base end 40a, a fastening piece 42 by a well-known surface fastener called by a trade name such as a magic tape or a touch-and-close fastener,
43 is sewn on. Of these, the engaging piece 42 sewn on the half portion 40b near the tip of the binding band 40 has a very large number of ring-shaped fiber groups densely formed on the surface thereof, and is sewn on the half portion 40c near the base end 40a. The attached engagement piece 43 is
An extremely large number of small projection groups or hook-shaped fiber groups that are caught on the ring-shaped fiber group of the engaging piece 42 are densely formed on the surface thereof. That is, the binding band 40 is folded back from the outside of the folds 23 through the buckle 41, and the facing surfaces of the folded portions are engaging pieces 42, 43 by surface fasteners.
Are fastened to each other via.

An engaging piece 44 identical to the engaging piece 43 sewn to the base end 40a half portion 40c of the binding band 40, that is, an engaging piece 44 in which a very large number of small projection groups or hook-shaped fiber groups are densely packed,
The surface of the semicircular portion of the lower leg 20 on the side of the divided portion 22 is sewn at appropriate intervals in the extension direction of the base end 40a of the binding band 40.

The shoe of this embodiment has an instep 12 of the shoe body 10.
The lower leg 20 and the lower leg 20 are crushed, and as shown in FIG.
Is folded at the position of the lower end 20a of the lower leg 20 and the position of the ankle cover 30 so that the instep 12 overlaps the side surface of the lower leg 20 on the side of the fold 23, and the binding band 40 is attached to the outside (lower surface) of the sole 11 of the shoe body 10. It can be folded into a small size by passing it through the buckle 41 through which it is folded back to the outside and appropriately squeezing it, and then by fastening the fastening pieces 42 and 43 of the hook-and-loop fasteners facing each other at the folded-back portion to each other. .
Therefore, in normal times, it is folded in this way and stored in a purse-like or Shingen bag-like bag with hanging strings (not shown) and hung in an easy-to-understand location near the entrance, or at home. , Emergency food such as Campan, drinking water, flashlight, wound medicine, emergency hood and other evacuation and disaster prevention supplies can be stored together with an evacuation bag or rucksack. Further, since it is folded into a small size as described above, it does not take much space even if it is stored in a drawer of a desk or a locker of its own in an office or the like.

When the shoe is actually used, first, the folded state is released, and the split portion 22 of the lower leg 20 is opened by pulling down the knob of the zipper 24, and the lower leg 20 inside the shoe main body 10 is opened. Insert your foot into. Lower leg cover 2
Since 0 is opened to the position of its lower end 20a, the foot can be easily inserted. In addition, since the elastic ankle cover 30 appropriately opens the upper end opening 12a of the instep 12 of the shoe body 10 and the back notch 12b formed continuously thereto, insertion of the foot into the shoe body 10 is also possible. Easily done. After the foot is inserted, the zipper 24 is pulled up to close the split portion 22 of the lower leg 20 and both sides 22 thereof are closed.
The binding band 40 is folded back by the buckle 41 and appropriately drawn and is fastened to the fastening piece 42 and the fastening piece 43 or 44 to fasten the lower leg 20 by binding the a and 22b together. When it is necessary to evacuate urgently due to an earthquake or the like, it is sufficient to put on the zipper 24 only after putting it on, and tie it with the binding band 40 at an appropriate occasion. Further, since the instep cover 12 is made of cloth, it is not always necessary to wear socks like general leather shoes, and this is also useful for quick wearing in an emergency.

The binding band 40 divides the lower leg 20 into the divided portions 2
Since it is designed to narrow it down on the side opposite to 2,
2 side is folded inward by squeezing and zipper 24
It is comfortable to wear without feeling any foreign matter. Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), when the thickness of the lower leg 1 of the user is standard or thick to some extent, the binding band 40 folded back through the buckle 41 as described above.
After properly squeezing, the engaging piece 42 sewn near the tip thereof is engaged with the engaging piece 43 sewn near the base end 40a, but as shown in FIG. When the thickness of the lower leg 1 of the user is smaller than the standard, the binding band 40 is further squeezed more than in the case of FIG. 4 (A), and the engaging piece 42 near the tip thereof is attached to the base end of the binding band 40. By engaging with another engaging piece 44 sewn at the position of the extension direction of 40a, the fold 23 of the lower leg 20 is enlarged, that is, the narrowing of the lower leg 20 is increased. Therefore, the lower leg 1 of the user can be firmly fixed regardless of the individual difference in thickness.

Since the shoe sole 11 of the shoe main body 10 is lightweight and made of thick raw rubber or synthetic rubber, it can be safely and quickly walked on a scattered road such as glass or on the paving stones of the track. The instep 12 has a toe portion 121 and the vicinity thereof and a heel portion 122 reinforced to improve a protection function and strength for a foot. Further, when walking or running, the force of the foot mainly concentrates on the thumb and the vicinity thereof, so that the tip of the shoe body 10 is inserted into the part 10a into which the thumb of the foot is inserted and the other finger. By making the shape of the tabi socks divided into two parts in the portion 0b, it is easy to walk and is less likely to get tired even when walking for a long time. Since the light-reflecting tape 125 emits bright fluorescent light even with a small amount of light, it is easy to find this shoe even in the dark, and it is useful for confirming evacuees and improving safety when evacuating at night. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the unevenness 11a on the lower surface of the shoe sole 11 is composed of a bent block-shaped portion 111 on the toe side, a vertical groove-shaped portion 112 near the arch and a corrugated portion 113 on the heel side. It is designed to improve ease and slip resistance.

The crus 20 prevents sand and pebbles from entering the shoe body 10 during walking, and prevents the ankle and crus of a woman wearing a skirt from being exposed to the grass. Properly protect from dirt due to mud. The front part of the ankle between the shoe body 10 and the lower leg 20 is composed of an ankle 30 made of a knit fabric that is highly breathable and stretchable, and does not easily hinder the movement of the ankle during walking, thus improving the ease of walking. Moreover, since the instep cover 12 and the lower leg cover 20 are also made of a cotton material, they are lightweight and do not easily get damp, and alleviate fatigue caused by walking for a long time. Also, because the ankle is free,
If you accidentally fall into the water, you can perform a relatively effective swim even with these shoes on, or if water enters the shoe body 10 by walking in a puddle,
Even if the shoes are not taken off, most of the invaded water is discharged from the ankle cover 30 during the walking process.

Although the above embodiments have been described for evacuation in the event of a disaster, because of good ventilation, good movement, light weight and less fatigue, and non-slip, for example, fishing, mountain climbing, walking, outdoor. It is also suitable for sports and work. If a cloth with an appropriate color or pattern is used for the lining 21 of the lower leg cover 20, this lining 2
By wearing the lower leg 20 in a state of being folded back from above so that 1 is exposed to the outside, fashionability is further enhanced.

Further, for example, as the fasteners for opening and closing the split portion 22 of the lower leg 20, the surface fasteners similar to the fastening pieces 42, 43 of the binding band 40 can be used instead of the zipper 24. Further, it is also preferable that the ankle cover 30 and the instep cover 12 be waterproofed so that water does not easily enter when worn for fishing or the like.
