Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a foot cover that is hidden behind a shoe such as a pump (mainly women's shoes having a wide open upper part that is a mouth) and is invisible, and is particularly easy to wear and comfortable to wear. The present invention relates to a foot cover that is less likely to be removed or displaced due to the movement of.

Wearing shoes such as pumps on bare feet has become established as a fashion. In this case, if the pump and the sole are in direct contact with each other, the sweat inside the shoe may become stuffy due to sweat generated on the foot, resulting in uncomfortable feeling.
Therefore, we propose a thin foot cover that covers the toes and the sole including the heel and exposes the instep and ankle, and the mouth is greatly cut so that it is not exposed from the pump when worn. Has been. If you wear this foot cover and wear pumps, it looks like you are wearing pumps on your bare feet, and the foot cover is between the sole and the pumps, so sweat sweats the inside of the shoes Can be prevented.

In addition, although such a foot mounting device is described as a foot cover in this specification, it may be described as a socks cover, inner socks, nude socks, cover socks, or the like.
Since such a foot cover has a large cut mouth so as not to be exposed from the pump, the wearing position may be shifted or removed due to friction during walking. On the other hand, if the mouth is made small, it will be exposed from the pumps. A foot cover developed in view of such a problem is disclosed in the following prior art documents.

In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-292206 (Patent Document 1), the foot cover may be removed from the bare foot due to friction between the pump and the foot cover during walking, or the foot cover may be removed when the pump is removed. In order to prevent shifting, a foot cover in which a friction imparting body is attached to the inner surface of the heel contact portion is disclosed.
Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3165733 (Patent Document 2) discloses that when a rubber string is provided along the periphery of the opening of the foot cover disclosed in Patent Document 1, the rubber string bites into the foot, so that the rubber is applied to the foot. In consideration of problems such as laces being attached, feeling pain, and poor comfort, a belt-like stretch that has flat rubber along the periphery of the opening so that one side touches the foot The foot cover which formed the part is disclosed.

JP-A-10-292206 Utility Model Registration No. 3165733

  Here, the foot cover friction imparting body disclosed in Patent Document 1 may not be sufficient. In this case, the foot cover may be removed or the wearing position may be shifted when walking or taking off the pump. I'll be relaxed. In the flat rubber disclosed in Patent Document 2, since the flat rubber is provided over the entire periphery of the opening (depending on the elasticity of the flat rubber), the opening is sufficient when the foot cover is worn. In addition to the case where it is difficult to wear without opening, there is also a problem that the foot cover may be removed or the wearing position may be shifted when the pump is taken off, as with the foot cover disclosed in Patent Document 1.

In particular, in a conventional foot cover, when the sole and the heel are made of different fabrics and the fabrics are sewn, the seam may be caught on the soles or the heels. There is a problem that the foot cover may be removed or the wearing position may be shifted when the garment is worn, and it may be difficult to wear or uncomfortable due to a seam.
The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the object of the present invention is to remove the foot cover when walking or taking off the pumps due to the presence of seams. It is an object of the present invention to provide a foot cover that does not slip off and that is difficult to wear or uncomfortable due to a seam.

In order to achieve the above object, the foot cover according to the present invention employs the following technical means.
That is, the foot cover according to the present invention covers the toes and the sole including the heel and exposes the instep and the ankle. The foot cover is formed of a bottom part, a side part, a heel part, and a toe part that covers the toe part. The sole part, the side part, the heel part, and the toe part are formed in a three-dimensional shape without a seam by joining a flat elastic knitted fabric with an adhesive tape. And

  Preferably, the stretchable knitted fabric is a single flat knitted fabric having a predetermined peripheral shape, and is formed by joining a part of the peripheral edge with an adhesive tape. be able to.

  According to the foot cover of the present invention, since there is a seam, it is possible to prevent the foot cover from being removed or the position of the shoe from being shifted when walking or taking off the pumps. Therefore, it is possible to prevent it from being difficult to wear or uncomfortable.

1 is an overall perspective view of a foot cover according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is the whole perspective view which turned the foot cover of FIG. 1 upside down. They are the front view (A) seen from the front of a toe in the state which turned the foot cover of FIG. 1 upside down, and the back view (B) seen from the back of a heel. It is an expanded view of the foot cover of FIG.

  Hereinafter, a foot cover according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. There are various foot cover structures, and the present invention is not limited to a specific structure, and any foot cover structure may be used as long as it has the characteristics described below. Basically, it does not matter what kind of fabric constitutes the foot cover, the pattern of the fabric, and the joining method of the fabric. For this reason, the structure of the foot cover shown below is merely an example.

  The fabric is tricot (a warp knitted fabric knitted with a tricot machine, which is a type of warp knitting machine), bear tent (bear tengu: wound with yarn of other materials (cotton, wool, etc.) around a polyurethane thread) A flat knitted fabric knitted with a covered yarn is preferably used. Among these, in particular, tricot has (1) excellent elasticity, (2) good shape stability and little shape change after washing, (3) soft texture and good fit, (4) It is preferable for a foot cover in that it is difficult to be wrinkled or creased, and (5) it is breathable because of its porous structure.

  Furthermore, the foot cover according to the present embodiment is a foot cover that covers the toe and the sole including the heel and exposes the instep and the ankle, and covers the sole, the side, the heel, and the toe. Formed at the toe. These sole part, side part, heel part, and toe part are formed in a three-dimensional shape without a seam by joining a flat elastic knitted fabric (at least one piece) with an adhesive tape. . Particularly preferably, the stretchable knitted fabric is a single flat knitted fabric having a predetermined peripheral shape, and is formed by joining a part of the peripheral edge with an adhesive tape. The bonding of the fabric is not limited, but it is an adhesive tape in which an adhesive is applied to one side of the belt-like member, and the adhesive melts by heating and the fabric is thermally bonded to join. Those that do are preferred. In addition, this joining includes those by thermocompression bonding, those by thermal welding, those by thermal fusion, and the like.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a foot cover 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an overall perspective view of the foot cover 100 turned upside down, and FIG. FIG. 3B is a rear view of the foot cover 100 as viewed from the back of the bag (inverted state), and FIG. 4 is a development view of the foot cover 100 (pattern paper). Each is shown. Here, FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 assume a state in which the foot cover 100 is worn on the wearer's foot F. That is, since the foot cover 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is formed of a stretchable fabric such as tricot, it is in a contracted state when not illustrated in the above assumption and the shape is understood. This is assumed as described above.

The foot cover 100 is a foot cover that covers the toes of the wearer's foot F and the sole including the heel and exposes the instep and ankle. The foot cover 100 is formed of a thin stretchable fabric (fabric such as tricot) in which an opening that is a wear mouth is largely cut so as not to be exposed from the pump when worn.
The foot cover 100 is formed by a toe portion 102A, a sole portion 102C, a side portion 102B, and a heel portion 102D. And the opening part for taking in / out a leg on the opposite side to the up-and-down side with respect to 102 C of soles is provided. The instep elastic thin fabric 112 is formed on the inner side of the foot cover 100 (the side on which the foot F is in contact) over the entire width of the upper instep of the toe portion 102A forming the opening, and the side portion 102B and the heel Peripheral stretchable and narrow fabrics 114 are respectively provided on the inner side of the foot cover 100 (side on which the foot F is in contact) over the entire periphery of the upper edge of the portion 102D. When the foot cover 100 is worn, if the instep elastic thin fabric 112 and the peripheral elastic thin fabric 114 are stretched, the opening is wide open, and the foot cover 100 is easy to wear. After that, the foot cover 100 is not removed during walking because the instep elastic thin fabric 112 and the peripheral elastic thin fabric 114 are contracted to reduce the opening.

  Further, on the upper edge of the butt portion 102D of the foot cover 100, a butt portion anti-slip 116 formed of a thin transparent sheet of silicon resin or the like is provided on the inner side of the foot cover 100 (the side where the foot F contacts). It is also preferable. Accordingly, the collar portion 102D is provided with a peripheral stretchable narrow fabric 114 on the upper side (inside) of the fabric 102 and further provided with a collar portion anti-slip 116 on the upper side (inner side). Thereby, the adhesiveness with the heel of the foot F can be improved, and the foot cover 100 can be further prevented from being displaced from the heel portion of the foot F. The buttocks slipper 116 is not an essential component in the foot cover according to the present invention.

The feature of the foot cover 100 is that the toe portion 102A, the side portion 102B, the sole portion 102C, and the heel portion 102D (that is, the entire foot cover 100) is predetermined as shown in the developed view of FIG. This is a point constituted by one piece of fabric 102 having a peripheral shape. Note that the number of fabrics may be two (or more) instead of one.
In the fabric 102, as shown in FIG. 4, the toe portion 102A is folded back in the X direction indicated by the toe valley line 122, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 (A), the toes are part of the periphery. The lower adhesive line 104 </ b> A and the toe upper adhesive line 104 </ b> B are joined with the toe adhesive tape 104. Further, in this fabric 102, as shown in FIG. 4, the heel part 102D is folded back in the arrow Y (1) direction and the arrow Y (2) direction along the Kabuya line 124, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 (B). As shown, the left side adhesive line 106 </ b> A and the right side adhesive line 106 </ b> B (which are part of the periphery) are joined by the adhesive tape 106. In this case, an adhesive is applied to one surface (the fabric 102 side) of the toe adhesive tape 104 and the heel adhesive tape 106, and the adhesive applied to the toe adhesive tape 104 and the heel adhesive tape 106 by heating is applied. The dough 102 is melted and bonded by thermal bonding. Further, the toe adhesive tape 104 and the heel adhesive tape 106 are thermally bonded from the front side of the fabric 102 (the surface opposite to the surface with which the foot F abuts) to join the fabric. However, the toe adhesive tape 104 and / or the heel adhesive tape 106 may be thermally bonded from the back side of the fabric 102 (surface on which the foot F abuts: skin side) to join the fabric. In this manner, the foot cover 100 including the toe part 102A, the side part 102B, the sole part 102C, and the heel part 102D without a seam is formed in a three-dimensional manner.

As described above, in the foot cover 100, the toe portion 102A, the side portion 102B, the sole portion 102C, and the heel portion 102D are formed of one piece of fabric 102, so that the foot cover is different from a conventional foot cover. Avoids the problem that the foot cover may be removed or the wearing position may be shifted when walking or wearing pumps when the bottom and heel are sewn with different fabrics. And there is no seam at all, so the comfort is very good.

  Further, in the sole 102C, on the side opposite to the side in contact with the foot F (the side in contact with the inner bottom of the pump when the pump is worn), a sole non-slip formed of a thin sheet of silicon resin or the like is provided. Is also preferable. Thereby, the adhesiveness with the inner bottom of a pump can be improved, and it can prevent that the position of the foot cover 100 in a pump shifts | deviates. In addition, this sole non-slip | skid is also not an essential structure in the foot cover which concerns on this invention.

  In the foot cover 100, the fabric 102 (toe portion 102A, side portion 102B, sole portion 102C, heel portion 102D), the instep elastic thin fabric 112, and the peripheral portion forming the foot cover 100 are provided. The stretchable narrow fabric 114 may be formed of the same co-fabric. That is, except for the toe adhesive tape 104 and the heel adhesive tape 106, the foot cover 100 may be formed of the same stretchable fabric (tricot or the like). In this foot cover 100, the instep elastic thin cloth 112 and the peripheral elastic thin cloth 114 are heated on the cloth 102 by a heat press device, and the instep elastic thin cloth 112 and The adhesive applied to the peripheral stretchable narrow fabric 114 is melted and thermally bonded to the fabric 102 and joined.

  Further, in the foot cover 100, the fabric 102 (toe part 102A, side part 102B, sole part 102C, heel part 102D), the instep elastic part, and the peripheral part elastic part of the foot cover 100 are formed. The narrow fabric 114 may not be the same fabric, or the instep elastic thin fabric 112 and the peripheral stretch thin fabric 114 may be formed instead of the same fabric.

  As described above, according to the foot cover 100 according to the present embodiment, the toe part 102A, the side part 102B, the sole part 102C, and the heel part 102D are configured by one sheet of fabric 102. This is a problem that occurs when the sole and the heel are sewn with different fabrics, as in the case of the foot cover, and the foot cover may come off when walking or wearing pumps because the seam is caught in the heel. It is possible to avoid the problem that the wearing position shifts. Furthermore, according to the foot cover 100, since there is no seam, the comfort is extremely good.

  The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.

  The present invention is suitable for a foot cover to be worn with bare feet, so that there is no seam so that the foot cover does not come off or the wearing position does not shift when walking or taking off the pumps, and It is particularly preferable in that it is difficult to wear or uncomfortable because there is a seam.
