Description

Specification

Walking assist shoes for the disabled

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a shoe for assisting walking of a disabled person or a physically handicapped person.

Background art

[0002] Conventional shoes for the general public mainly focus on the appearance of the shoes so as to fit the feet more and make the feet look more beautiful. On the other hand, as a shoe to protect the foot more firmly than ordinary shoes, it is a protective shoe for work with a core material such as a steel plate placed on the back of the shoe upper. There are also shoes with a core material such as a steel plate around the heel.

[0003] By the way, a disabled person who has a disability in his / her body first starts rehabilitation walking practice at a hospital or home in order to recover his walking ability. However, at that time, I was worried about carrying the foot that supported my own weight, and many people with disabilities applied weight while keeping their ankles bent outward, causing lame sprains! /, Tend to.

[0004] For this reason, walking also becomes cautious, and power tends to be applied to strange parts of the body, so that it becomes more cautious and more difficult to walk. That's why shoes for the general public and shoes like sneakers that are gentle on the feet are more likely to sprain, and things like protective shoes are heavy and cannot be used.

[0005] In addition, a part of the upper part of the instep of the shoe is used, for example, using Velcro (registered trademark) or the like so that the handicapped person can easily put on and take off the shoe. There are footwear that can be opened and closed. When the prior art was investigated, the following three cases were found.

[0006] Firstly, there is a name "injury prevention device for athletic shoes" as an object of the purpose of preventing stumbling during exercise as well as reducing the impact on the foot. (For example, see Patent Document 1). Convex is provided on the upper surface of the foot plate attached between the front and the interior of this athletic shoe, and an auxiliary plate (possibly acting as a cushion) is provided below the foot plate. A spine prevention plate with a movable plate that makes it easy to bend and extend the foot to a height of 1/3 from the lower part of the back of the foot plate hits to stand on the leg from the front of the athletic shoe. Shi ing.

[0007] Next, the inventors of the present invention have invented the name of the invention "ankle sprain prevention shoes" (see, for example, Patent Document 2). A sprain prevention member that consists of an ankle-holding surface that stands up to cover the ankle area and a fixing surface that is bent in an L-shape from the lower side and crosses the insole of the shoe Arranged around the lower outer ankle. In addition, the upper part of the upper part of the moon (top) is provided with a fastener for separating and opening the side parts of the front and rear sides and the hem tape or near the hooking tape.

[0008] Finally, there is the name of the invention "ankle sprain prevention shoe" having the same purpose as the above invented by the inventor of the present invention (see, for example, Patent Document 3). The outsole of the shoe is an outsole that has a large overhanging portion in the outward direction. The outsole has a hard plate built in the direction crossing the outsole from the overhanging part. The upper part of the front cover (top) is provided with a fastener for separating and opening the side parts of the front cover on both sides and the toe cap.

Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-245501 ([0005] to [0006], FIGS. 1 to 2)

Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-286302 ([0011 Ko to [0016], FIGS. 2 to 4)

Patent Document 3: JP 2001-286303 Koyuki ([00l :!] to [0015], Fig. 1 to Fig. 4)

Disclosure of the invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

[0009] In Patent Document 1, since a sprain prevention plate is erected in the vicinity of the heel of the foot plate, it is possible to prevent the foot from tilting somewhat. However, on the other hand, an auxiliary plate that acts as a cushion is provided on the part where the foot is stepped on, so it is thought that the tension cannot be applied and the anti-tilt force is hindered. In addition, normal sports shoe covers and interior materials are too weak to support sprain prevention boards. In addition, it is difficult to understand the reason for the existence of a movable plate that facilitates flexion and extension of the foot.

[0010] Patent Document 2 is an application by the present inventor, in which a twisting prevention member refracted in an L-shaped cross section, which is a main part, is provided on the insole of a shoe from the ankle side as a fixing surface. It is inserted and fixed in the notch. However, since the incision is the length that crosses the back of the insole as well as the length of the fixing surface to be inserted, it is necessary to cut the incised part of the insole, and the half-cut thing that is generated by the cutting is There was a disadvantage that wasted. [0011] In addition, since the cutting work and the fixing work itself with an adhesive increase the manufacturing cost rather than such a drawback, for example, the fixing surface is displayed at the time of manufacturing the outsole so that these works can be omitted. I would like to greatly simplify the manufacturing process by molding it with the bottom. On the other hand, the anti-spraining member with a fixing surface is a large one that is refracted into an L-shaped cross section.

[0012] Further, it is considered that the ankle holding surface of the sprain prevention member itself should be able to be replaced with the most suitable one according to the actual condition of the user. In other words, even if the shoes are the same, there are several different types of ankle-bearing surfaces that can be replaced when needed, which is much more convenient for the user.

[0013] Since the upper part of the upper part is provided with a fastener for separating and opening the front and rear side parts on both sides and close to the hoxing tape, It will bend deeply and move the zipper. This action itself is easy and there is room for improvement.

Patent Document 3 is also an application by the present inventor, and there has been no prior application by a third party due to the specificity of the shape. Certainly, the existence effect of the overhang is large, but there is room for further improvement in the ankle retention.

[0015] In addition, the upper part of the upper part of Patent Document 3 is also provided with fasteners for separate opening and closing up to the sides of the front and rear side parts and the toe caps. To do it, the person must bend deeply and move the zipper toward the toe, making room for improvement.

[0016] An object of the present invention is to provide an improved auxiliary shoe for a disabled person that allows a disabled person to walk with peace of mind.

Means for solving the problem

[0017] Auxiliary shoes for the handicapped for achieving this purpose are an overhanging portion in the outward direction of the outsole, an outsole reinforcing plate that is substantially transverse to the outsole with a width of about an ankle, and an overhang It has an overhanging part reinforcing plate that covers the entire surface of the part or covers the upper surface, and a hook holding member for covering the area of the ankle. The eaves holding member is erected in an upside-down cross-sectional shape with respect to the outsole reinforcing plate and the overhanging portion reinforcing plate. [0018] The configuration of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In these drawings, components that are functionally the same even if the shapes are slightly different are indicated by the same reference numerals. Also, some leader lines were selected representatively, not necessarily at all locations where the same reference should be given.

In addition, both the shoes of the present invention and the other shoe have one pair, and with the one pair in place, the description is distinguished from the disabled foot side and the healthy foot side. The left and right direction of one shoe was also distinguished by referring to the left side of the left shoe as the outside, the right side as the inside, the left side of the right shoe as the inside, and the right side as the outside. Also, the vertical distinction is the same.

[0019] In the shoe manufacturing industry, there are various names used for shoe parts and materials, and here they will be described in general terms but will be explained here. The names written before “:” below are used in the following explanation. By the way, the name written after the following “:” is often used in the field.

Outsole: Outsole or outsole

Upper: Front cover, front cover or upper

Feather: Wing

Insole: Insole, insole or texon

[0020] Further, leather, synthetic leather, synthetic resin, rubber, cloth, hemp or the like is generally used as the sole material of shoes. In the outsole 1 used in the present invention, a polyurethane synthetic resin (hereinafter referred to as “PU material”! /, U) or a thermoplastic rubber (hereinafter referred to as “TPR material”! /, U) that can be injection molded. ) Or PVC (vinyl chloride resin), etc., especially PU material was used as the main explanation. The material used for the upper is leather, synthetic leather, synthetic resin, rubber, polyurethane material, nylon material, cotton, hemp, or material. The material of the upper 11 blades 1 2 blade retainers 13 etc. used in the present invention was made of polyurethane synthetic leather (hereinafter referred to as PU material) as the main subject of explanation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the difference in the materials of these shoes.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, shoes having an overhanging portion 2 in the outward direction of the outsole 1 have a width of the ankle bottom 1 as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. The outboard bottom reinforcing plate 3 that is substantially transverse to the overhanging portion 3 and the overhanging portion reinforcing plate that exists over almost the entire area of the overhanging portion 2 or covers the upper surface 4 and. In addition, this shoe has a heel holding member 5 for covering the area of the ankle as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. The basic feature of the present invention as a walking assist shoe for the physically handicapped is that the heel holding member 5 is connected to the outsole reinforcing plate 3 and the overhanging reinforcing plate 4 in a cross-section inverted T shape. That is.

[0022] It should be noted that the coupling means of the three members of the outsole reinforcing plate 3, the overhanging part reinforcing plate 4 and the eaves holding member 5 is, as shown in FIG. 3 and the overhanging part reinforcing plate 4 which are connected on the same plane can be used. Further, it is assumed that the heel holding part connecting member 6 is provided on the upper surface around the boundary between the outsole reinforcing plate 3 and the overhanging part reinforcing plate 4 in the area where the shoe strength of the outsole reinforcing plate 3 is exposed. It is. That is, the eaves holding member 5 as shown in FIG. 5 is detachably mounted on the series of bottom bottom reinforcing plate 3 and the overhanging reinforcing plate 4 via the eave holding portion connecting member 6 in an inverted T-shaped cross section. It is set up.

[0023] As another coupling means, as shown in Fig. 9, an overhanging portion reinforcing plate 4 and a hook holding member 5 integrated in a cross-sectional L shape can be used. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the heel holding portion connecting member 6 is provided at one end side where the shoe strength of the outsole reinforcing plate 3 is exposed, and the one end side portion of the heel holding portion connecting member 6 is integrated with the above. In addition, the refracting side 7 having an L-shaped cross section is brought into contact with each other, and both are connected by an appropriate coupling means.

Note that the means for attaching the heel holding portion connecting member 6 to the top / bottom reinforcing plate 3 can use welding, screwing, or the like as described above. Further, the overhanging portion reinforcing plate 4 in this configuration can be adhered to the upper surface of the overhanging portion 2 with a strong adhesive.

[0024] Further, the front bottom reinforcing plate 3 is assumed to have a large number of through holes 8 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, and a table made of a synthetic resin as shown by dotted lines in FIGS. 7 and 11. After the injection of the bottom 1 during the manufacture, that is, the injection integral molding, the resin is integrally cured through these many through holes 8. As a result, the fixation of the bottom bottom reinforcing plate 3 and the bottom bottom 1 is strengthened.

[0025] It should be noted that, as shown in Fig. 6, the overhanging portion reinforcing plate 4 connected to the bottom bottom reinforcing plate 3 on the same plane is also integrally molded, so that the overhanging portion reinforcing plate 4 is also formed. It is possible to have a large number of through holes 8. In addition, when the heel holding member 5 and the heel holding portion connecting member 6 are connected by an appropriate connecting means, the bending side 7 of the heel holding member 5 is as shown in FIGS. 5 and 9 described above. A suitable number of fool holes 9 and at least the same number of fool holes 9 in the collar holding part connecting member 6 1 and 2 and 16, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 16. Various configurations can be considered for the target shape, so refer to the following examples.

[0026] Of course, there is a one-touch type or various conventional methods for the coupling means of both, so any coupling means may be used, but the product of the present invention is not frequently replaced, and the mounting itself is desired to be strong. It is preferable to use a plurality of screws 15 for screwing. Depending on the disability contents of the handicapped person, a thing as shown in FIG. 16 in which the heel holding member 5 is extended upward so as to follow the shin of the leg is also necessary. In this case, it is preferable to prepare several types of cocoon holding members 5 having different lengths.

[0027] The normal foot side shoe is shown in FIG. 3 according to the type of shoe for explaining the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the shoe is overlapped with a part of the wing 12 of the upper 11. The wing clasps 1 and 3 are fastened so that both the left and right shoes point toward the inside of the shoes as the direction of refraction when closing. As an opening and closing means for overlapping and closing, a tape (trade name “Magic Tape” (registered trademark) or “Berck mouth” (registered trademark)) that presses and bonds the two to each other is opposed to the back surface of the blade stopper 13 and the tape. It can be sewn on a part of the wing 12.

By the way, in the shoe on the healthy foot side in FIG. 3, the finger insertion ring 23 for separating the wing clasp 13 from a part of the wing 12 is on the near side in the figure, which is the inside of both feet. On the other hand, the shoe in Fig. 1 is placed in front of this. Therefore, in any shoe, the closing direction of the wing clasp 13 can be closed to the inner side of both feet and opened from the inner side to the outer side.

[0029] In addition, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, these blades 12 follow the contour of the blade 12 from the vicinity of the tip of one blade 12 in the shoe length direction. A pulling loop band 14 can be provided in the form of a slanted plow like this across the mouth of the other blade 12.

[0030] The operation of the shoe of the present invention described above is as follows.

When walking with these shoes on, even if the weight is applied with the ankle bent outward, there is an overhang 2 in the outward direction of the outsole 1, and the outsole reinforcement plate is on the outsole 1 3 is embedded and integrated, and the overhanging part reinforcement plate 4 is embedded or stuck on the overhanging part 2 on the same plane. It doesn't turn easily.

[0031] In addition, since the heel holding member 5 stands upright from the overhanging portion reinforcing plate 4, the ankle The effect of preventing outward bending is further enhanced. Therefore, since it is difficult for the shoes to tilt outward, the angle of the ankle is naturally corrected to prevent falls and sprains. The anxiety of walking is resolved, and it is no longer necessary to put power into strange parts of the body without realizing it, which makes it possible for people with disabilities to be confident in walking.

[0032] Since the bottom bottom reinforcing plate 3 and the heel holding member 5 can be separated, the integral injection molding becomes possible, so that the manufacturing cost can be greatly reduced. Further, since the bottom bottom reinforcing plate 3 has a large number of through holes 8, the resin at the time of injection molding is cured through the through holes 8, and the fixing of the bottom bottom reinforcing plate 3 and the bottom 1 can be strengthened. .

[0033] In addition, by making the bottom bottom reinforcing plate 3 part and the heel holding member 5 separable, depending on the disability contents of the handicapped person, the heel holding member 5 extends for a long time so as to follow the leg, etc. It is possible to select and use the most suitable one from the shape of the heel holding member 5.

[0034] In addition, there are two new methods for facilitating attachment / detachment when a disabled person puts on and takes off shoes. First, a pull-up loop band 14 was installed from the vicinity of the toe of one blade 12 over the mouth of the other blade 12 so as to hang along the contour of the blade 12 in the length direction of the shoe. That is.

[0035] When a physically handicapped person first attaches or detaches a shoe, first, the force S is used to lift the disabled foot up to the healthy knee with one hand of the hand and the other hand. is required. For example, in general, people with disabilities on the right are often handicapped with their right limbs. Therefore, in the case of taking off the shoes, the shoes on the right foot of the heel that was worn in the past are lifted to hold the area around the right ankle with only the left hand without any obstacles, and carried to the left foot or above the knee. It is not easy because there is.

Therefore, by providing the pull-up loop band 14 that is easy to grasp, even with one hand, it can be lifted easily with the force S.

[0036] Secondly, the wing clasp 13 for overlapping the two wings 12 of the upper 1 1 was closed with the left and right shoes facing inward as the bending direction. It is. Also in this case, if the right foot is inconvenient, only the left hand becomes the dominant hand, so the action of the wing clasp 13 of the right shoe for obstacles is performed with the left hand, rather than pulling from the left to the right outside. It is easier to pull from the right to the left. The opposite is true if the left foot is inconvenient, both inside the shoe Pulling in the direction is easier to operate and has actually gained great popularity.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0037] Although the best mode for carrying out the present invention is somewhat different depending on the type of shoes, a sneaker-style shoe is described here as an example.

First, the bottom 1 and the overhang 2 are made of materials that can be injection molded, such as PU, TPR, or PVC. Then, the bottom bottom reinforcing plate 3 that is integrated and integrated substantially across the width of the ankle in the bottom 1 is the same as the overhanging portion reinforcing plate 4 that is integrated and integrated almost over the entire extended portion 2. A flat body is used, and a steel plate with a thickness of about 2 mm with a large number of through holes 8 drilled in advance is adopted for both of them.

[0038] Further, the heel holding member 5 stands in a detachable manner on the upper surface around the boundary between the outsole reinforcing plate 3 and the overhanging portion reinforcing plate 4, that is, the portion exposed from the shoe of the outsole reinforcing plate 3. For this purpose, the heel holding part connecting member 6 in which a plurality of female screws 10 are arranged side by side is provided. The saddle holding portion connecting member 6 is as shown in FIG. 6 in which one side is fixed by welding and in FIG. 12 when FIG. 6 is viewed from the opposite direction. This figure is an example considered for the purpose of reducing the weight of the heel holding portion connecting member 6 itself. A commercially available nut is welded as a female screw 10 on the back side of the grooved steel 19 having a U-shaped cross section. Reference numeral 20 denotes a refracted side portion that is refracted and extended upward for fixing the position and preventing the omission.

[0039] In order to integrate them, the bottom surface 1 having the overhang portion 2 of the present invention is formed by injection molding. In order to make the bottom 1 itself light and to save material, the mold for injection molding has a number of concave bottom holes 21 as shown in FIGS. It is preferable to consider such things as

As shown in FIG. 5, the heel holding member 5 also employs an iron plate having a thickness of about 2 mm, and a plurality of fools corresponding to the female screws 10 that match the fool holes 9 of the heel holding portion connecting member 6. The hole 9, the outer shell of the heel holding member 5 and the ankle protection curved portion 17, and the refracting side 7 are formed by pressing. I would like to consider a press die that can be stamped and formed with a single press.

[0041] At that time, the interval between the side holes 9 of the hook holding member 5 and the female screw 10 of the hook holding part connecting member 6 is reduced. Then, increase the number of holes 9 or female screws 10, that is, the number of either one to the other! It is desirable that the position force S can be adjusted slightly in the longitudinal direction of the shoe.

In addition, inexpensive and strong steel plates and steel shapes were used as the material for the eaves holding member 5, eaves holding part connecting member 6, outsole reinforcement plate 3 and overhanging reinforcement plate 4, but it was expensive but lighter and strong. It can be said that it is more preferable if other metal materials such as duralumin can be adopted as carbon materials or reinforced plastic materials containing glass fibers.

[0042] Then, the heel holding member obtained by pressing into 9 rows of fool holes, which are 10 rows of female threads of the heel holding portion connecting member 6 that exposes one side portion on the outside of the bottom 1 obtained by injection molding Apply 5 holes 9 and tighten with screws 15 such as bolts. The bolts used at that time should be of a type that is screwed with a hexagon wrench only in a narrow space.

[0043] The long heel-holding member 5 shown in Fig. 16 (in which the overhanging part reinforcing plate 4 is stuck on the overhanging part 2) becomes heavier, so it contains carbon material or glass fiber. The reinforced plastic material may be used. If a steel plate is used, it should be covered with neoprene material in consideration of the coldness of winter use. Naturally, a band 16 is provided at an appropriate position of the long heel holding member 5 to be fixed to the shin. Of course, the length of the heel holding member 5 should be several different forces depending on the content of the user's obstacle.

[0044] Now, the material of the upper 11 and its wings 12 is a so-called PU synthetic leather that employs PU material, and is bonded to the bottom 1 that is the so-called PU bottom with an adhesive at the lower side portion thereof. Needless to say, the insole, insole, etc. are also necessary as shoes.

In addition, a force to provide a wing retainer 13 on one side of the wing 12 A U-shaped belt body 22 made of PU material sewn with an annular nylon tape 23 into which a finger is inserted is connected to the wing 1 2 through an elliptic eyelet 18. It shall be fastened to the back of the.

[0045] In addition, the commercially available product is pressed and joined to the back side of the straight portion around the center of the U-shaped belt body 22 and the other blade 12 corresponding to the straight portion. Sew the tape (trade name “Magic tape” (registered trademark) or “Berck mouth” (registered trademark)).

[0046] The pull-up loop band 14 is made of a tough nylon material and is passed from the vicinity of the toe of one blade 12 to the mouth of the other blade 12 in a slanting manner from the vicinity of the toe of the one blade 12. Sewing with appropriate clearance. At this time, the strongest part of the blade 12, that is, the outline of the blade 12 that is thin and thick, called an edge winding, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. It is better to sew on the part.

Example 1

[0047] Describing Example 1 as a sneaker-style shoe, FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show the right shoe for the right handed person, and the healthy left shoe is shown in FIG. However, in both figures, the overhanging part reinforcing plate 4 is assumed to be invisible in the overhanging part 2 here. First, a common example of the outsole 1 will be described. In FIGS. 1 and 2, PU material is used, the overall length of the outsole 1 is 250 mm, the width of the upper part is 98 mm, and the overhanging part 2 is present. In the example where the width of the narrowest edge is 75 mm, the length of the overhang 2 is 140 mm, and the arc has a width of 50 mm.

[0048] In addition, there is an edge height portion 24 around the entire circumference of the outsole 1 shown in FIG. As seen from the side of Fig. 8, the height of the edge height 24 around the heel holding part connecting member 6 is 29 mm, and the upper surface of the heel holding part connecting member 6 is drawn lower as shown by the dotted line. This height is slightly different than the level in this figure for later examples.

[0049] It should be noted that the top bottom reinforcing plate 3 and the overhanging portion reinforcing plate 4 are naturally buried in the PU material of the bottom bottom 1, so that the top surface of the outsole reinforcing plate 3 and the overhanging portion reinforcing plate 4 Is much lower than the height 29mm of the edge height 24. By the way, the height (thickness) around the hole 21 on the bottom 1 is about 9 mm and about half the height of the edge height 24.

[0050] The bottom bottom reinforcing plate 3 and the overhanging portion reinforcing plate 4 shown in Fig. 6 employ a steel plate having a thickness of 2mm with through holes 8 drilled at appropriate locations. The length was 90 mm and the width of the portion to be buried in the PU material was 55 mm. As shown in Fig. 6, the side 20 was bent upwards and the refraction side 20 was provided at a height of about 2 mm.

The overhanging portion reinforcing plate 4 has a force S obtained by press cutting to a shape almost similar to the size of the overhanging portion 2, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. There is no need.

[0051] The refracting side portion 20 is for the purpose of improving stability during injection molding and preventing slipping. The reason for turning the refracted side 20 upward is that if the refracted side 20 is oriented downward, the refracted side 20 will be exposed first when the shoe is worn and the back of the bottom 1 is worn away, and it will be exposed to the hard ground. This is to avoid touching and slipping. It should be noted that the refracting side 20 has a large number of through holes 8 and the bottom bottom reinforcing plate 3 is fixed. I don't think it's necessary to wear it!

[0052] Next, the heel holding member 5, which is a common embodiment, has a height up to the vicinity of the ankle and a width of about 90 mm, which is substantially matched to the heel holding portion connecting member 6, and is made of a 2 mm thick iron plate. is there. The heel holding member 5 has an ankle protective bending portion 17 that is bent outwardly around the ankle, and a flared hole 9 is formed on the refracting side 7 to match the female screw 10 of the heel holding portion connecting member 6. The heel holding member 5 is attached by bolts which are screws 15 which are screwed with a hexagon wrench from the outside of the upper 11.

[0053] Although the heel holding member 5 is made of an iron plate, for example, a sock-shaped bag body part containing neoprene material or sponge material having substantially the same shape as the heel holding member 5 is made of PU material from below the wrapping. It is advisable to take measures as soon as possible. As a result, even when touching the ankle or heel part in winter, the cold feeling can be prevented, the disabled person loses his physical position, and even if an unexpected force is applied to the heel holding member 5 on the ankle or heel part, it feels pain. You will be able to get a sense of security.

[0054] The saddle holding portion connecting member 6 shown in Figs. 6 and 12 employs a U-shaped cross section steel 19 and has a width and height of about 15 mm and a length of the bottom reinforcing plate 3 The surface of the grooved steel 19 is directed to the outside of the shoe, and at least four holes 9 corresponding to the holes 9 of the heel holding member 5 are perforated. Then, the nuts of the commercially available products are installed side by side with the spot holes 9 on the surface facing the inside of the shoe as female threads 10 by electric spot welding. Further, the lower surface of the channel steel 19 is fixed to the boundary between the outsole reinforcing plate 3 and the overhanging portion reinforcing plate 4 by electric spot welding.

[0055] In order to prevent the PU material from entering the female screw 10 at the time of injection molding, it is necessary to provide a cover such as one tin plate (not shown) on the front surface of the female screw 10 row. is there . In this case, although not shown, it is desirable to make a long hexagonal cylindrical cover that matches the external shape of a commercially available nut that is simply covered with a cover, and to cover each nut. The reason why this cylindrical cover is made longer is that the bolts 15 which are screwed 15 are longer than the nut.

Example 2

FIG. 14 shows the heel holding portion connecting member 6 according to the second embodiment. This is the same channel steel 19 as in Example 1. Adopted, the width and height are about 15mm, and the length is about 90mm, which is the same as the outsole reinforcement plate 3. Then, four short square members 25 each having a female screw 10 threaded in a size that fits within the U-shape of the channel steel 19 are subjected to electric spot welding at a specified position. Of course, in this case as well, in order to prevent the PU material from entering the female screw 10 at the time of injection molding, it is necessary to provide a single tin cover, not shown, on the inner surface of the shoe.

Example 3

Next, the heel holding part connecting member 6 of Example 3 will be described. This is an angle iron 26 with an L-shaped cross section shown in Fig. 13 and the size is the same as in the case of the channel steel 19 of Example 1 and Example 2. Omitted. Example 3 is an example in which the most light weight is aimed at as the heel holding part connecting member 6. However, since this is also exposed, it is necessary to provide a cover 27 made of tin or the like as seen by the dotted line on the front surface of the 10 rows of female screws in consideration of the injection molding.

However, force tends to cause a problem when used for a long time. Specifically, even though the upper side of the angle iron 26 is narrow, there is no particular problem in connecting the hook holding member 5 because the hook holding member 5 has the refracted side 7. However, if you wear it as a shoe for a long time, even if the tin cover 27 is applied, the bottom 1 will dent due to the weight of the human body, and the nut of the female screw 10 or the sole of the screw 15 will The soles become annoying when it hits. On the other hand, if the grooved steel 19 is used, there is a plane part on the upper side, so there is no concern that the sole will be bothered even if it is worn and recessed for a long time.

Example 4

Furthermore, the heel holding part connecting member 6 of Example 4 will be described with reference to FIG. This is a simple steel square 28 with a width of 18mm, a thickness of 10mm, a length of 90mm, similar to the outsole reinforcement plate 3, and four female screws 10 that are blind holes that cannot be penetrated to the outside of the shoe. Install side by side. The upper surface is provided with four holes 29 at positions avoiding the female screw 10 for weight reduction. In the fourth embodiment, since the length of the female screw 10 is about 15 mm and is not penetrated, a cover or the like for preventing the PU material from entering is unnecessary. Of course, the total length of the bolts used as screws 15 should be 15mm or less.

Example 5 [0060] In Example 5, as shown in FIG. 9, it is assumed that the heel holding member 5 and the overhanging portion reinforcing plate 4 are integrated into an L-shaped cross section. Since only 4 is separated, the rest is the same as in Example 1, so description of dimensions, etc. is omitted. However, as described above, the overhanging portion reinforcing plate 4 is adhered to the upper surface of the overhanging portion 2 with a strong adhesive, and FIGS. 9 to 11 relate to Example 5. .

Example 6

[0061] Example 6 is shown in Fig. 16, in which the heel holding member 5 is extended upward along the shin of the leg. The figure has an overall height of 300 mm and is equipped with a band 16 that can be attached to two legs by turning it around the leg. In FIG. 16, the overhanging part reinforcing plate 4 is drawn as a shell occupying the overhanging part 2, but the overhanging part reinforcing plate 4 is not visible if it is embedded in the overhanging part 2! Whichever way! /, Not to mention.

[0062] In addition, if the heel holding member 5 is made of expensive carbon! /, But if it is made of iron plate, it will be cold in the winter! / For example, measures should be taken to cover it with a neoprene sack. Les, that was mentioned above. In addition, we would like to make it possible to select depending on the degree of disability of the handicapped, such as preparing a heel holding member 5 having a length of 140 mm. The embodiments of the pull-up loop band 14 and the blade clasp 13 have been described in detail in the section of the best mode for carrying out the invention, so that the description thereof is omitted.
