Mode for the Invention
[9] A more complete appreciation of the invention, and many of the attendant advantages thereof, will be better appreciated by reference to the following detailed description.
[10] Fig. 1 is a drawing for showing a house shoe provided with a hole for airing according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 and 3 respectively are a bottom view and a section view of a bottom member of the house shoe in FIG. 1, and show a bending shape of a hole for airing formed on a bottom member.
[H]
[12] As shown in FIG. 1, a house shoe (10) consists of a shoe body (12) covering an instep of a foot and wrapping sides and a heel of a foot and a bottom member (15) attached on a lower part of the shoe body, supporting and protecting a sole of a foot in wearing state. The shoe body (12) and the bottom member (15) are made of urethane or rubber and necessarily, an insole may be provided on the bottom member (15). FIG. 1 shows a house shoe having no insole. Several holes (19) for airing are formed on the bottom member (15).
[13] [14] By referring to FIG. 2 and 3, the holes (19) for airing are explained in detail hereinafter. As shown in FIG. 2, the holes (19) are formed on entire surface of the bottom member including a front part of the house shoe with which toes of a foot contact, and consist of an upper hole (19a) formed on a contact part (15a) contacting with a sole of a foot, a lower hole (19c) formed on a contact part (15b) contacting with an exterior surface etc. and a penetrating bend portion (19b) connecting the upper hole (19a) with the lower hole (19c). Like this, by forming the penetration holes (19) through the bottom member (15) of the house shoe, outside air easily enters into and inside air easily goes out, so that a ventilation property of the house shoe becomes improved. Also, the upper hole (19a) and the lower hole (19c) aren't connected in a vertical straight line, and of which a vertical position isn't arranged in a straight line due to connecting through the penetrating bend portion (19b) haivng a curve shape, so that foreign substances such as pin, thumbtack are blocked out not to enter into the house shoe. Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 2, the penetrating bend portion (19b) has a "L" shape, which makes the penetrating bend portion (19b) to perpendicularly connect with the upper hole (19a) and the lower hole (19c) respectively, but the penetrating bend portion (19b) doesn't limit on the "L" shape, and may have a structure which doesn't position the upper hole (19a) and the lower hole (19c) in a straight line, for example, a curve shape. In case of that the penetrating bend portion (19b) has a curve shape, the foreign substances may be blocked out not to enter into the house shoe, in spite that the upper hole (19a) and the lower hole (19c) are positioned on same vertical position.
[15]
[16] A size (b) of the lower hole (19c) is decided according to a general size of the foreign substances, and the size (b) of the lower hole (19c) may be same as or larger than that (a) of the upper hole (19a). That is, the size (b) of the lower hole (19c) is not smaller than that (a) of the upper hole (19a). Preferably, the size (b) of the lower hole (19c) is larger than that (a) of the upper hole (19c), and the size (a) of the upper hole (19a) isn't smaller than the foreign substances, so that the foreign substances don't pass through the upper hole (19a) although passing through the lower hole (19c). In case of meeting the requirements of the above-mentioned, there is no limitation on the size and arrangement of the upper hole (19a) and the lower hole (19c).
[17]
[18] Meanwhile, the penetrating bend portion (19b) of the hole (19) prevents the foreign substances having a specific form such as pin, thumbtack from penetrating the hole (19), liquid such as water (small amount of liquid as many as exists on exterior floor such as a ground) enters into the upper contact part (15a) of the bottom member through the penetration hole (19). To prevent the liquid such as water from permeating, the bottom member of the house shoe according to the present invention further includes a concave part (20) which is formed on between the contact part (15b) contacting with an exterior surface and the lower hole (19c). Here, a protrusion part (18) is formed on a part of the concave part (20) connected with the lower hole (19c), surrounding the lower hole (19c), so that liquid on exterior surface is effectively blocked off. A size (c) of the concave part (20) is larger than that of the penetration hole (19; 19a, 19b, 19c), particularly that (b) of the lower hole (19c), so that a small amount of liquid existing on the concave part (20) easily is removed off when the house shoe contacts a ground. Industrial Applicability
[19] Wearing a house shoe having a good ventilation property improves efficiency in student's study and worker's work. And a bad smell of a foot is removed off, so that a foot maintains a good healthy condition. Also, owing to refreshing a foot, a cooling energy in summer session may be decreased.
