Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on examples.

[First embodiment]
The configuration of the room shoe 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the left foot of the pair of left and right symmetrical shoes of the room shoe 1 will be described.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the room shoe 1.
The room shoe 1 includes a sole 10 (see FIG. 2), an outer upper leather 11, an inner upper leather 12, a central groove 13 (see FIG. 3), a collar 14, an opening 15, and a central upper. The skin 16 is a main component.

  The sole 10 includes a bottom portion made of synthetic leather (for example, a fabric coated with a resin such as urethane or nylon), and a core portion made of a hard resin (for example, EVA (ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer resin)), And a cushion portion made of an elastic resin material (for example, urethane). A non-slip member (not shown) is provided on the bottom surface of the sole 10 so that it is difficult to slip even if the bottom surface is placed on the foot support while riding on a wheelchair.

  Normally, an insole (not shown) is placed on the sole 10 for use. Insoles have functionality such as deodorization, antibacterial, sweat absorption / divergence, moisturizing, etc. to improve comfort, and shock absorbers and shapes that match the foot shape, etc. May be used.

  The outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 are cloth materials provided from the toes to the heel part 14, and as shown in FIG. 2, the lower sides of the substantially trapezoidal shape are fixed to both side edges of the sole 10. . The outer shell 11 is fixed to the outer edge of the sole 10 (corresponding to the outside of the left foot), and the inner shell 12 is fixed to the inner side of the sole 10 (corresponding to the inside of the left foot). (See FIG. 2). The outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 are made of washable chemical fibers (for example, 100% polyester) and contain a resin material (for example, urethane) that is elastic in order to improve cushioning properties. Yes.

  The outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 may be provided with belt coupling portions 18 and 19 for attaching the belt 17 described in the second embodiment (provided that the belt coupling portions 18 and 19 are provided). Is not required.)

  FIG. 3 is a front view when the central upper 16 is tilted inward (sole 10 side). As shown in FIG. 3, the central groove 13 has a predetermined interval (for example, 2 to 6 cm or 3) between the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 at the distal end portion (toe side of the left foot) of the sole 10. ˜5 cm). In other words, the central groove portion 13 is surrounded on three sides by the shoe central side of the outer upper skin 11 and the inner upper skin 12 and the respective sides of the tip of the sole 10.

  The central groove 13 only needs to be spaced at the tip of the sole 10, and the sides of the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 surrounding the central groove 13 are as in this embodiment. For example, it may be V-shaped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a hook-and-loop fabric made of, for example, a hook-like fabric is provided at the edge of the sole 10 on the back side (side in contact with the foot) of the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12. The coupling portions 11A and 12A are formed.

The heel part 14 is a cloth material provided so as to surround the rear part of the heel from the outer shell 11 to the inner shell 12, and the bottom of the substantially triangular shape (see FIG. 4) is the rear side of the sole 10 in a side view. It is fixed to the end (corresponding to the heel of the left foot) (see FIG. 3). The two sides excluding the base of the substantially triangular shape of the collar part 14 are fixed to the sides on the heel side of the outer shell 10 and the inner shell 11, respectively.
The inside of the heel part 14 has an elastic resin material (for example, urethane) and a hard resin for ensuring durability and holdability in order to reduce the impact on the heel and prevent shoe rubbing when worn. A material (eg, foamed polyethylene) is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the height H1 from the top of the heel 14 to the bottom of the sole 10 is high enough to prevent the heel 14 from becoming a hindrance and reducing the ease of attaching and detaching the room shoe 1 (for example, 1-6 cm). From the viewpoint of achieving both walking ability and ease of attachment / detachment, the height H1 is more preferably 2 to 4 cm, for example.

  The opening 15 is formed by being surrounded by the upper sides of the outer shell 11, the collar 14, and the inner shell 12, and communicates with the central groove 13. The room shoe 1 can be easily attached and detached by putting a foot in and out of a space where the opening 15 and the central groove 13 communicate with each other.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the central upper 16 has a substantially rectangular shape or a substantially elliptical shape, and a short side of the substantially rectangular shape is fixed to the distal end portion of the sole 10. The central upper 16 can close and open the central groove 13 by opening and closing the tip of the sole 10 as a fulcrum.

  The center upper 16 is made of a washable chemical fiber (for example, 100% polyester), and the outer surface of the center side 16 (the side not in contact with the foot) extends outwardly on both side edges along the longitudinal direction. It meshes with the joint portions 11A and 12A of the upper 11 and the inner upper 12. Since there is a meshing surface on the front side of the central crust 16 and the back side of the outer crust 11 and the inner crust 12, the outer crust 11 and the inner crust 12 overlap with the central crust 16 at the time of meshing. Become. Since the coupling portions 16A and 16B have a predetermined width (for example, 2 cm), it is possible to change the position of engagement between the central upper skin 16 and the outer upper skin 11 and between the central upper skin 16 and the inner upper leather 12. .

  The coupling portions 16A and 16B can be formed of, for example, a button, a magnet, a hook member, or the like, but are preferably formed of a hook-and-loop fastener cloth that is a loop-shaped cloth. It is preferable that the entire surface of the central upper 16 including the arch portion 16C described later is formed of a hook-and-loop fastener cloth that is a loop-shaped cloth. This is because the joint portions 11A and 12A of the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 can be meshed with the entire surface of the central shell 16, so that the setting range of the distance between the joint portions 11A and 12A can be widened. This is because the width of the foot circumference adjustment can be widened.

  Between the joint portions 16A and 16B of the central upper 16, an arch portion 16 </ b> C is formed which extends in the longitudinal direction from the distal end portion of the sole 10 and forms an arch shape with the surface side of the central upper 16 being convex. The arch portion 16C protects the instep from an external impact when the room shoe 1 is worn, and prevents the central instep 16 from being pressed against the instep. In addition, the central upper 16 is hardly deformed to prevent the room shoe 1 from sagging inside, and can be worn even when the central upper 16 is closed.

  The arch portion 16C is formed by arranging a reinforcing member made of flexible hard resin (for example, EVA (ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer resin)) on the inner layer of the central upper leather, or sewing a plurality of fabric pieces. It is formed by forming an arch. As a method for stitching together a plurality of fabric pieces, for example, four hook group member fabric pieces (two side surface pieces, one central surface piece and one central upper surface piece) are sewn together with four surface cloths and four pieces. Overlay the back fabric piece (2 side back pieces, 1 center back piece and 1 center top back piece) with the back fabric piece so that the center face piece follows the roundness of the instep and sew it to the sole 10 A method is disclosed in which the edge excluding the portion is covered with a tape-like fabric and the edge is sewn by sewing.

  The fabric of the arch portion 16C in the vicinity of the fixed side of the central upper 16 is thick or tensioned, and even when a toe is hit against an object at the time of wearing, the impact on the toes can be reduced, and the toes are protected.

  In the vicinity of the edge facing the fixed side of the central upper 16, a knob portion 16 </ b> D serving as a grip for opening and closing the central upper 16 when the room shoe 1 is attached and detached is formed. The knob portion 16D is bent upward by a streak attached to the central upper 16 (see FIG. 4), is easy to grasp, and prevents the central upper 16 from being caught inside.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the height H2 from the top of the knob portion 16D of the central crust 16 to the bottom of the sole 10 is three so that it can be worn even with a swollen foot or a foot wound with a support member. The height (for example, 10 to 17 cm) that can ensure a large space surrounded by the upper shell (11, 12, 16). From the viewpoint of ease of attachment / detachment, the height H2 is more preferably set to 12 to 15 cm, for example.

  The central upper 16 can be fully opened with the tip of the sole 10 as a fulcrum, and the opening 15 communicates with the central groove 13, so that when the central upper 16 is fully opened, the space on the sole 10 is fully exposed. Opened. For this reason, the caregiver is placed under the cared person's foot with the central crust 16 fully open, the cared person's foot is placed on the sole 10, the central crust 16 is closed, and the outer crust 11 and By simply locking the inner shell 12, the cared person can put the room shoes 1 on. When the room shoes 1 can be taken off, the central crust 16 may be fully opened and removed from under the care recipient's feet. That is, since it is not necessary to raise the care receiver's foot or extend the toe during attachment / detachment, the attachment / detachment is easy for the caregiver.

  From another point of view, it is possible to select a shoe that exactly matches the size of the care recipient's foot. That is, it is possible to select a large shoe for the caregiver's attachment / detachment workability, and to solve the problem that the care receiver's foot flutters in the shoe.

  In addition, since the position of meshing between the central crust 16 and the outer crust 11 and the inner crust 12 can be changed, depending on the state of the individual foot, such as the presence or absence of support members such as swelling, swelling and bandages Tightening (fitness) can be adjusted.

  Furthermore, since the central upper 16 can be fully opened while the foot is placed on the sole 10, the state of the foot can be easily confirmed without removing the room shoe 1.

  According to the room shoe 1 described above, it is possible to provide a room shoe that is easy for a caregiver to attach and detach and can adjust the tightening degree (fit feeling) according to the state of the individual foot.
