Description

  The present invention relates to a foot cover that, when worn, is hidden behind a shoe such as sneakers (casual exercise shoes) or pumps (mainly women's shoes with the instep portion being wide open) and hidden from view, In particular, the support member for supporting (holding) the heel is disposed at the position of the heel of the foot, so that it is easy to walk and the foot is comfortable and the heel is disposed despite such a support member being disposed. It relates to a foot cover that is comfortable to wear due to its good moisture permeability.

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.

Such a foot cover is similar to a sock in that it covers the foot. In the sock, the purpose of the sock is to relieve the impact on the heel part by walking or sports and to increase the height by wearing it. Techniques for providing an insole and an insole in the heel portion are disclosed in the following prior art documents.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-015927 (Patent Document 3) prevents excessive keratinization and cracking of the skin of the heel and the sole, alleviates the impact on the heel of walking and sports, and further reduces the cooling of the foot. Disclosed is an insole that is used in direct contact with the skin of a foot for the purpose of deodorization and the like. This insole is used by attaching directly to the skin of the heel and the sole in socks and stockings. That is, by wearing the insole in close contact with the heel and the sole and wearing socks and stockings over it, it can be expected that moisturizing and heat retaining properties, as well as shock mitigation, deodorizing effects and the like are exhibited.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-0666606 (Patent Document 4) discloses a sock heel insole that is natural in appearance because it keeps its height high even when the shoe is taken off and wears the sock. This sock heel insole is thickened on the bottom of the shoe-like plate made of rubber or other cushioning material, the upper part is matched to the roundness of the heel, and the lower part is rounded to resemble the heel. A sandal sock insole that is hard to remove when worn with a rubber band attached to the shoe. First, if you wear this sock insole on your feet and put your socks on top of it, the shape will be natural when viewed from the outside, and your height will increase by the thickness of your buttock.

JP-A-10-292206 Utility Model Registration No. 3165733 JP 2011-015927 A Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-066606

In order to provide a cushion material on the heel portion of the foot cover disclosed in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2, it is conceivable to apply the technique disclosed in Patent Document 3 or Patent Document 4. It is not limited to such a combination, and a foot cover having a characteristic structure in the heel portion is known.
However, when the technique disclosed in Patent Document 3 is combined with the foot cover, the insole disclosed in Patent Document 3 is only used by directly attaching to the skin of the heel and the sole, and the foot skin, the insole, Since the insole itself is displaced from the foot skin because it is configured in the order of the foot cover and the shoe inner surface, the holdability is not preferable because the insole is displaced from the shoe inner surface via the foot cover. In this respect, the combination of the technique disclosed in Patent Document 4 with the foot cover may alleviate such a shift, but a rubber band to be fixed to the instep must be attached. Don't be. In any case, when the insole or the insole is brought into contact with the foot skin in this way, not only the foot cover bottom portion is made of a thin stretchable fabric, but it is not possible to realize a good texture. Uncomfortable feelings due to the sweat inside the heel that is stuffy inside the shoe cannot be eliminated. As a result, it is difficult to realize a comfortable foot cover.

  The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the object of the present invention is that a support member for supporting (holding) the heel is disposed at the position of the heel of the sole. It is an object of the present invention to provide a foot cover that is easy to walk and is comfortable to wear and that is comfortable to wear due to good moisture permeability of the heel portion despite such a support member being disposed.

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 is a foot cover that covers the toes and the sole including the heel and exposes the instep and the ankle, and is composed of a thin stretchable fabric. A cylindrical toe part covering the toe part, the heel part and the toe part, provided with an opening part for putting the foot in and out on the opposite side with respect to the sole part, and on the side part forming the opening part An elastic narrow fabric is provided on the edge, and a thin plate-like support member having a three-dimensional shape covering the heel is provided at the position of the heel of the sole, and the support member includes a flat portion corresponding to the heel bottom surface and the A left and right lateral portion and a rear portion extending in three directions excluding the toe side from the flat portion, and a covering fabric covering the supporting member and contacting the foot skin is provided; The bottom and the covering fabric are joined on the toe side of the support member It is characterized in that is.

  According to the foot cover of the present invention, the support member for supporting (holding) the heel is disposed at the position of the heel on the sole so that it is easy to walk and the like, and the support member is disposed. In spite of this, it is possible to provide a foot cover that is comfortable to wear due to the moisture permeability of the heel portion.

It is a top view of the foot cover of FIG. 1, (A) Side view, (B) Bottom view (Shoe inner surface or floor contact side), (C) Top view of the support member (Foot side), (D) DD sectional view shown in (C) of the support member, (E) (D) showing the deformed state of the covering fabric by the foot F, (F) F direction (toe direction) shown in (C) of the support member FIG. 4 is a side view as viewed from (G), (G) and (F) showing a deformed state of the covering fabric by the foot F.

  Hereinafter, a foot cover 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Here, there are various types of foot cover structures, and the present invention is not limited to a specific structure. Features described later (a support member that supports the heel portion of the sole 104 so as to cover the heel) 120), the type of fabric forming the foot cover, the pattern of the fabric, and the joining method of the fabric, whatever the structure of the foot cover. But basically it doesn't matter. Therefore, the structure of the foot cover 100 shown below is merely an example. Here, the up, down, left, and right directions in the following description mean directions when the wearer stands up when the foot cover 100 is worn. Further, the toe direction (toe direction) may be referred to as the front direction, and the heel direction may be referred to as the rear direction.

  The foot cover 100 is formed of a plurality of fabric pieces (parts), and each fabric is a knitted fabric (elastic fabric) having elasticity. Here, the fabric forming this foot cover (excluding the support member 120 provided on the heel portion of the sole 104 is not a fabric, but including the covering fabric 122 covering the support member 120) is ： Flat knitted fabric using yarn (covered yarn, etc.) wrapped with yarn of other materials (cotton, wool, etc.) around polyurethane yarn, tricot (tricot machine which is a kind of warp knitting machine) Knitted warp knitted fabric), pantyhose fabric (knitted fabric including polyurethane yarn and nylon yarn) and the like are preferably used. Among these, in particular, Bear Sky is (1) excellent in elasticity, (2) good shape stability and little shape change after washing, and (3) soft texture and good fit. (4) Wrinkles and creases are difficult to be formed, (5) The porous structure is breathable, and (6) When cotton is included, it is preferable for the foot cover in terms of touch and hygroscopicity.

  Furthermore, the foot cover 100 according to the present embodiment is a foot cover that covers the toes and the sole including the heel and exposes the instep and the ankle, and includes the sole 104, the side 106, and the heel 108. And the toe part 102 covering the toe part (in this case, the dough forming the heel part 108 from the side part 106 is one dough piece (part)). In addition, although not limited, the foot cover 100 shown below (including the support member 120) is common to the left and right, and is preferable in that it does not mistake the right and left because it is common to the left and right. If the foot cover is not shared between the left and right sides, the left and right feet may be provided with an asymmetrical shape (as a whole), except for the support member 120 described later (only the support member 120 is left and right). It may have an asymmetric and partially symmetric shape.

  Furthermore, the foot cover 100 according to the present embodiment is covered with a plurality of fabrics (a fabric that forms the toe portion 102, a fabric that forms the sole portion 104, and a fabric that forms the heel portion 108 from the side portion 106). When the fabric 122 is included, it is configured by four fabrics), but the joining of these fabrics is not limited. For example, the fabrics may be joined together by stitching, or the fabric is heated and bonded using the adhesive tape in which the adhesive is applied to one side of the belt-shaped member so that the fabric is thermally bonded. It does not matter if they are joined together. Here, this joining includes those by thermocompression bonding, those by thermal welding, those by thermal fusion, and the like.

  What is characteristic is that a thin plate-like support member 120 having a three-dimensional shape covering the heel is provided at the position of the heel of the sole 104. The support member 120 includes a flat portion 130 corresponding to the bottom surface of the heel, and left and right side portions 128A and a rear portion 128B that extend from the flat portion 130 in three directions excluding the toe side. . The foot cover 100 is provided with a covering fabric 122 that covers the supporting member 120 and abuts against the foot skin, and the sole 104 and the covering fabric 122 are joined to the toe side (front side) of the supporting member 120. Has been. As will be described in detail later, the covering fabric 122 and the sole 104 are joined on the end 124 side, which is the toe side (front side) of the covering fabric 122.

More specifically, the planar portion 130 of the support member 120 has a planar shape that is approximately half to approximately ３ of the sole portion 104, and is provided on the left and right sides of the planar portion 130 so as to stand obliquely upward. The part 128A and the rear part 128B are extended and integrated.
Here, although not limited, the material of the support member 120 is preferably an elastomer material used for insoles of shoes. For example, EVA (ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer resin), low-resilience urethane sponge, synthetic rubber and the like are preferable as such a material, and it is also preferable to provide a polyester fiber layer subjected to antibacterial and deodorizing treatment. Furthermore, as long as it has the rigidity mentioned later, for example, it may be silicone rubber (Silicone Rubber). Silicone rubber means a rubber-like material among silicone resins (synthetic resins containing silicone as a main component), and is a material also referred to as silicon resin, silicon rubber, or silicon rubber.

  Here, the left and right side portions 128A and the rear portion 128B that are extended from the flat surface portion 130 (inclined upward) have rigidity that does not easily bend toward the flat surface portion 130 (planar surface). Even if the heel is in contact with the support member 120 (but the heel is indirectly in contact with the support member 120 via the covering fabric 122) It is preferable to provide cushioning that does not cause pain in the heel. The rigidity in this case is that the left and right side ends and the heel side rear end of the covering fabric 122 are locked by the upper ends of the left and right side portions 128A and the upper end of the rear portion 128B of the supporting member 120, respectively. Even if tension is applied to the covering fabric 122 so that it floats from 120 (even if it becomes a state shown in FIG. 2D and FIG. 2F to be described later), the three-dimensional structure of the support member 120 It means rigidity that does not change the shape.

The foot cover 100 having such a feature will be described in detail below.
1 and 2 show a foot cover 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1A is an overall perspective view of the foot cover 100, and FIG. 1B is a perspective view of the foot cover 100 as seen from the back side with the heel raised. 2A is a side view of the foot cover 100, FIG. 2B is a bottom view of the foot cover 100 (the shoe inner surface or floor contact side), and FIG. 2C is a support member. 2D is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD in FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2E is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 2D. FIG. 2 (F) is a side view of the support member 120 as viewed from the F direction (toe direction) shown in FIG. 2 (C). (G) is a figure which shows the deformation | transformation state of the covering cloth | dough 122 by the leg F in FIG.2 (F).

  In FIGS. 1 and 2, it is assumed that the foot cover 100 is worn (standing) 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.

  However, with respect to the covering fabric 122 that covers the support member 120, the covering fabric 122 in FIGS. 2D and 2F shows a shape before the foot cover 100 is worn on the foot F of the wearer. That is, in the support member 120, the above-described three-direction sides are erected obliquely upward, and the left and right side ends and the heel side rear end of the covering fabric 122 are respectively in a state where the weight of the wearer is not applied. A large space S is generated between the flat portion 130 of the support member 120 and the covering fabric 122 by being locked by the upper ends of the left and right side portions 128A and the upper ends of the rear portion 128B and applying tension to the covering fabric 122. Thus, the foot cover 100 is formed. For this reason, when the foot cover 100 is not worn, the weight of the wearer is not applied, so that the covering fabric 122 is not deformed as shown in FIGS. 2D and 2F, and the support member 120 is not deformed. Whereas a large space S is formed between the flat portion 130 and the covering fabric 122, when the foot cover 100 is worn and stands up (when shoes are worn), the weight of the wearer is applied. As shown in FIGS. 2E and 2G, the covering fabric 122 is deformed along the shape of the ridge and a large space S is generated between the flat portion 130 of the supporting member 120 and the covering fabric 122. It is gone. Since it is difficult to understand the difference in the space S, the covering fabric 122 covering the support member 120 is not the covering fabric 122 in FIGS. 2 (D) and 2 (F) only. The shape before wearing the foot cover 100 is shown.

As can be understood with reference to these drawings, 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 serving as a footwear is cut so as not to be exposed from shoes such as sneakers when worn. It should be noted that the foot cover 100 is a thin stretch fabric (tricot) in which the opening portion of the mouth opening is further cut so as not to be exposed from the pumps where the instep portion which is the opening portion is wider than the sneakers when worn. Etc.). Here, not being exposed from shoes or pumps when worn includes that the foot cover 100 is hidden by the shoes or pumps and becomes invisible or difficult to see.

  The foot cover 100 is formed by a toe portion 102, a sole portion 104, a side portion 106 and a heel portion 108. And the opening part for taking in / out a leg on the opposite side to the up-and-down side with respect to the sole 104 is provided. The opening is formed at the upper part of the toe part 102, the upper part of the side part 106, and the upper part of the heel part 108. In this foot cover 100, for example, the toe part 102, the sole part 104, the side part 106 and the heel part 108 are separately knitted (the side part 106 and the heel part 108 are integrally formed as one piece of fabric. (Parts)), the side part 106 and the heel part 108, and the toe part 102 are sewn and integrated, and the integrated toe part 102, the side part 106, the heel part 108, and the sole part 104 are sewn together.

  In the foot cover 100, an opening for putting a foot in and out on the opposite side to the bottom 104 is formed by the toe part 102, the side part 106, and the heel part 108. The stretchable narrow fabric 112 and the stretchable narrow fabric 116 are provided on the inner side of the foot cover 100 (the side on which the foot F contacts: the skin side) over the entire periphery of the upper edge of the opening. If the stretchable narrow fabric 112 and the stretchable narrow fabric 116 are stretched when the foot cover 100 is put on, the opening portion is wide open so that the foot cover 100 is easy to wear. Since the narrow fabric 112 and the stretchable narrow fabric 116 contract and the opening becomes smaller, the foot cover 100 does not come off during walking. It should be noted that the stretchable narrow fabric 112 and the stretchable narrow fabric are disposed on the outer side of the foot cover 100 over the entire periphery of the upper edge of the opening (the side opposite to the side in contact with the foot F: the side in contact with the shoe inner surface). 116 may be provided.

  The stretchable narrow fabric 112 and the stretchable narrow fabric 116 may be provided not on the entire periphery of the upper edge of the opening but on a part of the upper edge, or intermittently rather than continuously. You may make it provide. In any case, the stretchable narrow fabric 112 and the stretchable narrow fabric 116 make it easy to wear the foot cover 100, and the foot cover 100 is less likely to be removed or displaced due to an action such as walking.

Here, as an example of the stretchable narrow fabric 112 and the stretchable narrow fabric 116, a nylon tape can be cited. It is also preferable that the stretchable narrow fabric 112 and the stretchable narrow fabric 116 be the same fabric as the stretchable fabric constituting the foot cover 100 (at least a part thereof).
Further, on the upper edge of the heel part 108 of the foot cover 100, on the inner side of the foot cover 100 (the side on which the foot F is in contact: the skin side), the heel part is made of a thin transparent sheet such as a silicone resin. It is also preferable to provide 118. 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. It should be noted that the buttocks non-slip 118 is not an essential component in the foot cover according to the present invention.

  In this foot cover 100, a flat surface portion 130 corresponding to the shape of the bottom surface of the heel (the shape of the sole side, not the ankle side of the heel), the left and right side portions 128A, and the rear portion 128B And a three-dimensional support member 120 that covers the heel. Note that it is preferable to provide a slip stopper on the side of the flat surface portion 130 in contact with the bottom portion 104 as in the above-described buttocks slip stopper 118 because the relative position between the support member 120 and the bottom portion 104 does not shift.

  With reference to FIG. 2 (A)-FIG. 2 (G), the shape of this support member 120 and its function (effect) are demonstrated. This function is based on the shape in which the left and right side portions 128 </ b> A and the rear portion 128 </ b> B of this support member 120 are erected from the plane portion 130, and the covering fabric 122 is lifted from the support member 120. Thus, the covering fabric 122 is tensioned so that the covering fabric 122 is locked to the upper ends of the left and right side portions 128A and the rear portion 128B.

First, the structure of the foot cover 100 for bringing the support member 120 into contact with the sole portion 104 of the foot cover 100 and fixing the position thereof will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 1 (A) and 1 (B) and FIGS. 2 (A) and 2 (B), this support member 120 is a surface on the sole 104 side (shoe sole side) of the covering fabric 122 ( The upper end of the left and right side portions 128A and the upper end of the rear portion 128B are in contact with the surface on the opposite side of the sole contact surface). A covering fabric 122 that covers the support member 120 and contacts the foot skin is provided. That is, the support member 120 is sandwiched between the sole 104 and the covering fabric 122 in this way. The sole 104 and the covering fabric 122 are joined to each other by the joint 126 on the toe side of the support member 120. It should be noted that the left and right sides of the support member 120 are not joined by the joining portion 126, and the right and left sides are tensioned on the covering fabric 122, and the sole 104, the side portion 106, and the covering fabric are applied. 122 is joined (sewn), and a large space S is generated between the flat portion 130 of the support member 120 and the covering fabric 122. Here, as an example of the joint 126 on the toe side of the support member 120, heating is performed using a double-sided adhesive tape in which an adhesive is applied to both sides of a thin belt-like member, so that the adhesive melts and the fabric is thermally bonded. It is also possible to join the doughs together. Here, this joining includes sewing, thermocompression bonding, thermal welding, thermal fusion, and the like. When such a double-sided adhesive tape is employed, the sole 104 and the covering fabric 122 are supported by the double-sided adhesive tape where the toe side of the support member 120 (may be referred to as the toe side) is joined. The left and right sides of the member 120 are not joined by the double-sided adhesive tape. When a double-sided adhesive tape is used as the joint 126 (because the seam does not hit as compared with stitching), there is less discomfort as a feeling of the sole, and when a thin double-sided adhesive tape is adopted, the feeling of discomfort is felt as a sole Is even less.

  In this way, the support member 120 is sandwiched between the sole portion 104 and the covering fabric 122, and the sole portion 104 and the covering fabric 122 are disposed on the toe side (the toe side, not the left and right sides) of the supporting member 120. Since the covering fabric 122 is joined (sewn) together with the sole 104 and the side 106 on the left and right sides, the supporting member 120 is brought into contact with the sole 104 so as not to be displaced from the sole 104. Its position can be fixed.

  Further, in this case, as shown in FIGS. 2 (D) and 2 (F), before wearing the foot cover 100 on the wearer's foot F, the left and right side ends and the heel side rear end of the covering fabric 122 Are respectively locked by the upper ends of the left and right side portions 128A and the upper ends of the rear portions 128B and tension is applied to the covering fabric 122, and a large space S is formed between the flat portion 130 of the supporting member 120 and the covering fabric 122. Has occurred. That is, when the foot cover 100 is not worn, the wearer's weight is not applied, so that the covering fabric 122 is not deformed as shown in FIGS. 2 (D) and 2 (F), and the plane of the support member 120 is not deformed. A large space S is formed between the portion 130 and the covering fabric 122.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2E and 2G, when the foot cover 100 is worn and stands up (when shoes are worn), the weight of the wearer is applied and the covering fabric 122 is applied. However, the large space S existing between the flat portion 130 of the support member 120 and the covering fabric 122 is not generated due to deformation along the shape of the ridge. However, even at this time, as shown in FIGS. 2 (E) and 2 (G), although the volume is smaller than the space S, the space S (1) is on the heel side and the space S (2 is on the toe side. ) Has occurred. Here, the space S (2) on the toe side is generated by a foot arch shape (a shape in which the bottom surface of the sole is recessed) that exists in many people. Further, the heel-side space S (1) is generated by steeply rising from the flat surface portion 130 to the rear portion 128B in the support member 120 (and the rigidity of the support member 120) rather than the curvature of the heel. Can do.

Effects (A) to (A) when the wearer wears the foot cover 100 having the above structure on the foot F or when the wearer wears the foot cover 100 on the foot F and further wears shoes D) and the effect (E) when the wearer does not wear the foot cover 100 on the foot F will be described.
(A) The wearer's weight is applied, and the covering fabric 122 is deformed along the shape of the heel so that the volume is larger than the large space S existing between the flat portion 130 of the supporting member 120 and the covering fabric 122. A small space S (1) is formed on the heel side and a space S (2) is formed on the toe side. Thus, since an air layer can be provided even at the time of wearing, the moisture permeability (breathability) of a heel part is preferred and comfort is good.
(B) Since the heel is held (held) by the three-dimensional shape of the support member 120, the holdability is high even during walking, and the foot cover 100 does not deviate from the foot (especially the heel), so the comfort is good.
(C) By providing the cushioning property of the support member 120, the cushion is preferable when walking with the support member 120 provided at the heel position in a size of approximately half to approximately １ ／ of the heel side of the sole 104. Sex can be expressed.

(D) The supporting member 120 is not in direct contact with the bare skin of the sole, but is in contact with the covering fabric 122. By adopting hygroscopic cotton or the like for the covering fabric 122, the foot Uncomfortable feelings caused by the sweat inside the heel part can be eliminated, and the air layer described in (A) can be used to ventilate or promote evaporation. . As a result, even when a large amount of sweat is generated from the soles of the feet, such as walking for a long time in the summer, etc., it is possible to ventilate or promote evaporation by this air layer.
(E) In a state where the wearer's weight is not applied, the left and right side ends and the heel side rear end of the covering fabric 122 are locked by the upper ends of the left and right side portions 128A and the upper ends of the rear portion 128B, respectively. Is applied to form a large space S between the flat portion 130 of the support member 120 and the covering fabric 122.
