Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to the improvement of the upper part of athletic shoes and the tongue piece attached thereto, and more specifically, the invention is concerned with improving the upper part of athletic shoes and the tongue piece attached thereto. Our goal is to provide something that you can feel.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, as a tongue of an athletic shoe, a structure in which the tongue is supported at the front opening of the athletic shoe includes, for example, two strips through which a shoelace is inserted into the upper side of the tongue, that is, the central part near the opening. Generally used shoes have a notch in which the shoelace is inserted through the notch and supported when the shoe is worn.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, in the conventional product described above, the tongue is supported by a shoelace that passes through the eyelets of the left and right uppers of the shoe, so the shoelace does not move in the vertical direction of the tongue ( Although this can prevent the shoe from slipping in the longitudinal direction, it cannot physically prevent the tongue from moving from side to side. In addition, such a structure loses its effectiveness as the shoelace becomes loose, and is still unsatisfactory in maintaining the stability of the tongue.

<Means and effects for solving the problem> The present invention is an attempt to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the conventional product by combining a substrate with a plurality of uneven surfaces on the upper surface side of the tongue main body. , and a substrate that similarly engages with the substrate is provided on the back side along the opening of the shoe upper corresponding to the tongue main body, and the tongue main body is fixed to the shoe upper by engagement of these boards. The aim is to completely prevent this lateral displacement.

<Example> The present invention will be described according to an embodiment shown in the drawings. FIG. According to the structure conventionally used as the main body of the tongue piece, that is, as shown in FIG. A tongue piece main body A is formed by covering it with a thin fabric 5 such as tricot, nylon taffeta, etc., and the upper surface side of the tongue piece main body A is preliminarily coated with natural rubber, synthetic rubber, synthetic resin, etc. to improve flexibility, elasticity, and A sheet-like substrate 2 on which a plurality of uneven surfaces 1 are formed with a member having excellent frictional resistance is bonded to the back side along the front opening of the shoe upper B corresponding to the tongue main body A. A substrate 2' having the same structure as the substrate 2 is mounted thereon. Therefore, when the athletic shoes of the present invention are worn and tightened with shoelaces, the base plate 2 formed on the tongue main body A and the corresponding base plate provided on the surface side along the front opening of the shoe upper. As shown in FIG. 1, the tongues 2' are tightly engaged with each other on their respective uneven surfaces, and the tongue main body A is firmly fixed and supported by the shoe upper B. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, the respective substrates 2, 2' may be formed only on one side near the outer surface where the tongue pieces are likely to be misaligned, or they may be attached and formed over the entire surface of the tongue piece main body A. It is included. As mentioned above, the tongue main body A can also be made of a multi-layered structure with a cushion layer 4 interposed therebetween, as well as one made of a single piece of conventional tongue material such as leather or synthetic leather. included.

<Effects of the Invention> Therefore, according to the present invention, the tongue main body A is attached to the upper surface side of the tongue main body A and the corresponding back surface side along the opening of the upper B. Since the tongue is firmly fixed to the upper of the shoe, it is completely possible to prevent the tongue from slipping to the left or right even when the wearer does strenuous footwork, maintaining a stable wearing feeling at all times. This allows the original purpose of the tongue to be fully achieved, such as protecting the instep of the foot and preventing foreign matter from entering the upper part of the shoe.

Therefore, since the present invention can strengthen the stability of the tongue as described above, it is an extremely practical invention that can be applied to various sports including jogging shoes.
