Description

  The present invention relates to footwear and a manufacturing method thereof.

  Clothing is usually discarded when it becomes old or torn. However, the clothes and the user's design preference are strongly expressed in the clothes, so even if they are used, they can be easily discarded. In particular, when it comes to memorabilia or commemorative items, they cannot be disposed of simply because they are out of date. Furthermore, for example, in the case of denim clothing, since the fabric is strong and the color and texture peculiar to cotton are produced by using it for a long time, it is wasteful to dispose of it.

  Thus, it has been proposed to recycle jeans pants that are no longer worn and form heels (Patent Document 1). Generally, recycling of used products is effective use of resources, which is preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the amount of garbage.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and intends to provide footwear using a cloth-like material derived from a used product and a method for manufacturing the same as one method for effectively using the used product. Is.

  In order to solve the above problems, footwear according to the present invention includes a sole portion, an upper portion fixed to the sole portion to form a footrest portion on the sole portion, and an outer portion fixed to the surface of the upper portion. Part, the strength and durability as footwear are maintained by the sole part and the upper part, and the outer part is formed of a cloth-like material derived from a used product. 1).

  According to the present invention, since the strength and durability as footwear are maintained by the sole portion and the upper portion, the outer portion can be created exclusively considering fashionability. Therefore, a fashionable outer part can be created with the cloth-like material derived from a used product, and the used product can be effectively used. Since it is only necessary to fix the outer part to the surface of the upper part, manufacturing is also easy.

  In the present invention, the term “derived from used product” means that a part of the used product is cut out and used as it is, the used product is disassembled and appropriately cut and used, and included in the used product. It is a concept that broadly includes the use of appropriate physical or chemical processing added to raw materials. “Cloth-like material” refers to a flexible sheet-like body without sticking to materials, such as hemp and cotton fabric, plastic yarn fabric, plastic flexible sheet material, leather and synthetic leather. And Furthermore, since the present invention relates to footwear, it is of course possible to include sandals, slippers, sandals, etc. in addition to shoes.

  As a preferred embodiment, a mode in which the cloth-like material is fixed to one of the left and right footwears with a design different from that of the other footwear is exemplified (Claim 2). This embodiment is effective when the cloth-like material derived from the used product does not have a sufficient margin so that the same design is applied to both the left and right footwear. The design of footwear is usually common to the left and right, but as long as the used product is used as a material, the right and left cannot always be made common. In such a case, if a cloth-like material derived from a used product is fixed to one of the left and right footwear with a design different from that of the other footwear, there will be no trouble of lack of material of the outer part. The entire pair of footwear is unique and suitable.

  As a preferred embodiment, there is exemplified a mode in which accessories such as pockets, buttons, belt loops, fasteners and the like provided in the used product appear in the appearance together with the cloth-like material (Claim 3). In this way, it is possible to save the trouble of removing the accessories one by one and to improve the appearance design of the footwear.

  As a preferred embodiment, there is exemplified a mode in which the cloth-like material is a plurality of different kinds, and the plurality of kinds of cloth-like materials are mixed on the surface of the upper portion (claim 4). Also in this case, the appearance design of the footwear is good.

  Next, the footwear manufacturing method according to the present invention is a method for manufacturing the footwear, wherein the existing footwear as a finished product is used as the sole portion and the upper portion, and the cloth shape is formed from the used product. A material is obtained, the cloth-like material is cut into a required shape and size, and the cut cloth-like material is fixed to the surface of the existing footwear. If it does in this way, since it can manufacture using the existing footwear as it is, manufacture is easy.

  Existing footwear may be new or used, but it can be manufactured at low cost if used, and the design of used can be redesigned. Is also effective.

  As one preferred embodiment, a mode in which the used product is clothing or a bag is exemplified (Claim 6).

1 is a perspective view of footwear according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a vertical side view of one side of the footwear of FIG.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 and 2 exemplify boot-type shoes as a kind of footwear, the present invention is not limited to shoes, and of course includes sandals, slippers, sandals, and the like.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a footwear (shoe) 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a sole portion 2 and a footrest portion 3 fixed on the sole portion 2 and on the sole portion 2. The upper part 4 to be formed and the outer part 5 fixed to the surface of the upper part 4 are provided. The sole portion 2 and the upper portion 4 maintain the strength and durability as footwear (shoes), and the outer portion 6 is formed of a cloth-like material 7 derived from a used product.

  There are no particular limitations on the specific configurations of the sole portion 2 and the upper portion 4 and their coupling modes, and any conventionally known configurations can be employed. Instead of producing the sole portion 2 and the upper portion 4 and joining them together, the sole portion 2 and the upper portion 4 can be formed using existing footwear as a finished product. If it does in this way, since it can manufacture using the existing footwear as it is, manufacture is easy.

  Existing footwear may be new or used, but if used, it can be manufactured at low cost, and the used design can be easily redesigned. It is also effective from the viewpoint of effective use of waste and reduction of garbage.

  Next, the outer part 6 will be described. The outer portion 6 is formed of a cloth material 7 derived from a used product. And the outer part 6 provides designability to the external appearance of footwear, or covers the surface of the upper part 4 and protects the upper part 4. By forming the outer part 6 with the cloth-like material 7 derived from the used product, the used product can be reused, resources can be effectively used, and the amount of waste can be reduced.

  Here, the manufacturing process of footwear will be described taking as an example the case where the used product is clothing such as denim trousers, skirts, short pants and the like. As a first step, the cloth material 7 is obtained by disassembling used denim clothing. As a second step, it is determined which part is cut from the cloth-like material 7 and used, which part is combined with which part, and the like. As a third step, the cloth-like material 7 is cut slightly larger (for example, about 1 to 3 mm) than the size of the footwear (the size of the upper portion 4). When the outer portion 6 is partially fixed to the upper portion 4 of the footwear, the cloth-like material 7 may be cut into a shape and size necessary for it. As the fourth step, the cut cloth material 7 is fixed to the surface of the upper part 4 of the footwear. As the fixing method, an adhesive is usually used, but it may be sewn or a combination thereof. When the cloth-like material 7 is adhered to the surface of the upper portion 4 with an adhesive, it is stretched and finished firmly by hand so as to eliminate wrinkles and sagging.

  “Derived from used products” means not only to dismantle used products and cut them appropriately, but also to cut out parts of used products and use them as they are. Widely includes the use of appropriate physical or chemical processing. “Cloth-like material” refers to a flexible sheet-like body without sticking to materials, such as hemp and cotton fabric, plastic yarn fabric, plastic flexible sheet material, leather and synthetic leather. And Examples of used products include clothing, cloth products other than clothing, leather products, bags, and the like.

  In the pair of left and right footwear, the outer portion 6 may be fixed so as to have the same design on both the left and right sides, and as shown in FIG. 1, the left and right footwear 1L is different from the other footwear 1R. The outer part 6 may be fixed by design. The latter is effective when the cloth-like material 7 derived from the used product does not have a sufficient margin so that the same design is applied to both the left and right footwear. The footwear design is usually common to the left and right, but as long as the cloth-like material 7 derived from the used product is used as the material, the right and left cannot always be made common. In such a case, if the cloth-like material 7 derived from the used product is fixed to either the left footwear 1L or the other footwear 1R, the material of the outer portion 6 will be insufficient. Therefore, the entire pair of footwear is unique and suitable.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, accessories such as pockets 8, buttons 9, belt loops 10, fasteners 11, and the like provided in the used product can be used as they are as the outer portion 6. In this case, the appendages 8, 9, 10, 11 appear together with the cloth-like material 7 in the appearance of the footwear 1. In this way, the labor of removing the appendages 8, 9, 10, and 11 can be saved, and the appearance design of the footwear is improved, which is preferable.

  Furthermore, a plurality of different types of cloth-like materials 7 may be prepared, and the plurality of types of cloth-like materials 7 may be mixed on the surface of the upper portion 4 like a patchwork, for example. The plurality of types of cloth-like materials 7 are, for example, different materials, different colors, different designs, and the like. Also in this case, the appearance design of the footwear is good.
