Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of children's shoes, and in particular to an adjustable, laceless children's shoe. Background Technology

[0002] Children's shoes are shoes specifically designed and manufactured for children. These shoes typically take into account the shape of children's feet, gait, and growth and development needs, and therefore have different characteristics and design elements than adult shoes. The main function of children's shoes is to protect children's feet, provide comfort and support, and help them maintain a correct gait as they grow.

[0003] In the existing technology, children's shoes include a sole and an upper. The upper is set on the sole and is made of elastic fabric. The upper made of elastic fabric can fit closely to the child's feet, making it easier and faster to put on and take off, and also avoiding the trouble caused by the child not being able to tie the shoelaces properly.

[0004] However, children in their developmental stage grow and develop rapidly. As their foot size continues to increase, the shoe uppers tighten around their feet. The shoe uppers of these children's shoes have limited ability to adjust the tightness of the fit, resulting in reduced comfort and the need to frequently buy new shoes. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the ability of the shoe upper to adjust the tightness of the human foot, this application provides an adjustable laceless children's shoe.

[0006] The adjustable, laceless children's shoe provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable, laceless children's shoe includes a sole and an upper. The upper has an opening, and a drawstring is crisscrossed across the instep of the foot. An elastic band is also provided on the instep of the foot, with one end connected to the surface of the upper. The free end of the elastic band is connected to the surface of the upper via a first connector, allowing the free end of the elastic band to be detachably attached to the surface of the upper. The elastic band has a first through hole for the drawstring to pass through.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the shoe upper is tightened by a drawstring, making it fit the wearer's foot more closely. The tightening force of the shoe upper can be adjusted by the drawstring, improving the shoe upper's ability to adjust the tightening force on the human foot. The drawstring is connected to an elastic band through a first through-hole, and the elastic band is connected to the surface of the shoe upper through a first connector, thus keeping the drawstring taut. Pulling the free end of the elastic band separates it from the surface of the shoe upper, allowing the drawstring to be loosened, improving the ease of putting on and taking off the shoes.

[0009] Optionally, the upper has an installation groove on the surface of the instep that connects to the shoe opening, and the inner wall of the installation groove has a shoe tongue; support plates are provided on both sides of the upper at the heel, and one end of each support plate extends to the connection between the installation groove and the shoe opening.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, support plates are set on both sides of the shoe upper where the human heel is located, which improves the support effect of the shoe upper at the human heel and reduces the possibility of the wearer spraining their ankle during walking or exercise.

[0011] Optionally, the first connector includes a hook and loop fastener and a hook and loop fastener, the hook and loop fastener being disposed at the free end of the elastic band, and the hook and loop fastener being disposed on the surface of one of the support pieces.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the free end of the elastic band is connected to the support plate of the shoe upper through the mutual bonding of the Velcro patch and the Velcro master patch, thereby improving the ease of putting on and taking off the shoe upper.

[0013] Optionally, the shoe upper is provided with a support strip on the surface of the human heel, and each support strip forms a through-channel with the surface of the shoe upper, with both ends of the support strip extending into the through-channels of the two support strips respectively.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the two ends of the support strip extend into the insertion channels of the two support plates, and the support strip can form a full enclosure for the human ankle, further improving the support effect for the human ankle.

[0015] Optionally, a second connector is provided between the free end of the elastic band and the support strip, and the free end of the elastic band can be detachably installed on the support strip through the second connector.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the free end of the elastic band is connected to the support strip via the second connector, thus linking the elastic band, support plate, and support strip together. Firstly, this improves the fixation effect of the free end of the elastic band, keeping the tensioning rope taut and reducing the possibility of the free end of the elastic band detaching. Secondly, the elastic band pulls on the support plate and support strip, enhancing their support effect.

[0017] Optionally, the second connector includes a concealed snap fastener and a concealed snap fastener female. The concealed snap fastener is disposed at the free end of the elastic band, and the concealed snap fastener female is disposed on the surface of the support strip. The surface of the support strip has a connecting opening that connects to a through-hole for the concealed snap fastener to pass through the through-hole.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, after the wearer inserts their foot into the shoe upper, pulling the free end of the elastic band connects the free end of the elastic band to the support plate, and forces the hidden buckle of the elastic band to pass through the connecting opening to fasten to the hidden buckle nut, thus connecting the free end of the elastic band to the support strip. When it is necessary to take off the children's shoes, pulling the free end of the elastic band will force the elastic band to separate from both the support plate and the support strip, improving the overall ease of operation.

[0019] Optionally, multiple concealed female fasteners are provided at intervals along the length of the support strip.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and setting multiple concealed female buckles, the tightness of the support strips can be adjusted by attaching the concealed female buckles to different concealed female buckles, thereby improving the flexibility of the overall structure.

[0021] Optionally, the surface of the support strip is provided with a reflective coating.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a reflective coating, the reflective coating can reflect light from the outside world (such as vehicles) in the nighttime environment, making children's shoes more visible at night, thereby improving the safety of children when walking at night.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. By incorporating a drawstring and elastic band, the shoe upper is tightened via the drawstring, making it fit the wearer's foot more snugly. The drawstring allows for adjustment of the tightening force, enhancing the shoe upper's ability to regulate the pressure on the foot. The drawstring connects to the elastic band through a first through-hole, and the elastic band connects to the shoe upper surface via a first connector, thus keeping the drawstring taut. Pulling the free end of the elastic band separates it from the shoe upper surface, loosening the drawstring and improving the ease of putting on and taking off the shoes.

[0025] 2. By setting up support strips, both ends of the support strips extend into the through-channels of the two support plates, and the support strips can form a full enclosure around the human ankle, further improving the support effect on the human ankle.

[0026] 3. By using the second connector, the free end of the elastic band is connected to the support strip, thus linking the elastic band, support plate, and support strip together. This improves the fixation of the free end of the elastic band, keeping the tensioning rope taut and reducing the possibility of the free end of the elastic band detaching. Secondly, the elastic band pulls on the support plate and support strip, enhancing their support effectiveness. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following combination Figures 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] This application discloses an adjustable, laceless children's shoe.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 An adjustable, laceless children's shoe includes a sole 1 and an upper 2. The upper 2 is fixedly installed on the sole 1. The upper 2 has an opening 21 for the human foot to enter. The upper 2 has an installation groove 22 on the surface of the instep of the human foot, which is connected to the opening 21. The upper 2 has a tongue 23 installed on the inner wall of the installation groove 22.

[0035] The upper 2 has support plates 5 installed on both sides of the human foot heel. The support plates 5 are fixedly connected to the surface of the upper 2 by stitching. One end of each support plate 5 extends to the connection between the mounting groove 22 and the shoe opening 21.

[0036] The shoe upper 2 has support strips 6 on the surface of the heel. Each support piece 5 forms a through-channel 52 between itself and the surface of the shoe upper 2. Both ends of the support strip 6 extend into the through-channels 52 of the two support pieces 5, and in this embodiment, both ends of the support strip 6 are sewn and fixed to the inner walls of the two support pieces 5. The outer surface of the support strip 6 is coated with a reflective coating (not shown in the figure), which can be reflective paint.

[0037] The upper 2 is provided with an elastic band 4 on the instep of the human foot. The two ends of the elastic band 4 span the connection between the mounting groove 22 and the shoe opening 21. One end of the elastic band 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the upper 2. The elastic band 4 and the surface of the upper 2 are fixedly connected by sewing. For ease of description, the other end of the elastic band 4 is defined as the free end of the elastic band 4. A first connector is provided between the free end of the elastic band 4 and the surface of the upper 2. The free end of the elastic band 4 can be detachably installed on the surface of the upper 2 through the first connector.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first connector includes a hook and loop fastener and a hook and loop fastener 51. The hook and loop fastener (not shown in the figure) is fixedly installed on the inside of the free end of the elastic band 4, and the hook and loop fastener 51 is fixedly installed on the surface of one of the support pieces 5. The hook and loop fastener and the elastic band 4, and the hook and loop fastener 51 and the support piece 5 are fixedly connected by sewing.

[0039] The shoe upper 2 has a tightening cord 3 that crosses over the instep of the foot. A connecting piece 42 is sewn to the surface of the elastic band 4, forming a first through-hole 41 between the connecting piece 42 and the elastic band 4. The shoe upper 2 has multiple second through-holes 24 on both sides of the mounting groove 22. Both the first and second through-holes 41 are used for the tightening cord 3 to pass through. The two ends of the elastic cord are tied and fixed to the outside of the elastic band 4.

[0040] The implementation principle of Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: The shoe upper 2 is tightened by the tightening rope 3, making the shoe upper 2 fit the wearer's foot more closely. The tightening force of the shoe upper 2 can be adjusted by the tightening rope, improving the shoe upper 2's ability to adjust the tightening force on the human foot. The tightening rope 3 is connected to the elastic band 4 through the first through hole 41. The Velcro fastener of the elastic band 4 is attached to the Velcro nut 51 of the support plate 5 to fix the free end of the elastic band, thereby keeping the tightening rope 3 in a tightened state. When it is necessary to take off the children's shoes, simply pull the free end of the elastic band 4 to separate the free end of the elastic band 4 from the support plate 5, and the tightening rope 3 can be loosened, improving the convenience of putting on and taking off the shoe upper 2.

[0041] Furthermore, by connecting the elastic band 4 to the support plate 5, the elastic band 4, support plate 5, and support strip 6 are integrated into a whole, forming a wrap around the ankle. This improves the fit of the shoe upper 2 around the ankle, thereby enhancing wearing comfort. It also provides good support for the ankle, reducing the likelihood of ankle sprains during walking or exercise.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] This application discloses an adjustable, laceless children's shoe.

[0044] The difference between the adjustable, laceless children's shoe disclosed in this application and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0045] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 In this embodiment, a limiting strip 54 is installed on the inner wall of the support plate 5. The two ends of the limiting strip 54 are sewn and fixed to the inner wall of the support plate 5, and a limiting channel 55 is formed between the limiting strip 54 and the inner wall of the support plate 5. After the two ends of the support strip 6 extend into the through-channels 52 of the two support plates 5, they pass through the limiting channel 55 of the limiting strip 54 and are connected with an anti-detachment strip 62. The support strip 6 and the pull strip are fixedly connected by adhesive.

[0046] A second connector is provided between the free end of the elastic band 4 and the support strip 6. The free end of the elastic band 4 is detachably installed on the support strip 6 through the second connector. The second connector includes a concealed buckle and a concealed buckle 61. The concealed buckle (not shown in the figure) is fixedly installed on the inside of the free end of the elastic band 4, and the concealed buckle 61 is fixedly installed on the surface of the support strip 6. A connecting opening 53 is provided on the surface of the support plate 5. The connecting opening 53 connects to the through-passage 52. The concealed buckle passes through the connecting opening 53 into the through-passage 52 and is fastened to the concealed buckle 61 of the support strip 6.

[0047] It should be noted that in this embodiment, multiple concealed female buckles 61 are spaced apart along the length of the support strip 6, and multiple concealed female buckles are spaced apart along the length of the elastic band 4.

[0048] The implementation principle of Embodiment 2 of this application is as follows: the free end of the elastic band 4 is attached to the Velcro 51 of the support piece 5 via a Velcro fastener, and the free end of the elastic band 4 is also fastened to the snap fastener 61 of the support strip 6 via a snap fastener, thus connecting the elastic band 4, the support piece 5, and the support strip 6 together. The combination of Velcro fastener and snap fastener greatly improves the fixing effect of the free end of the elastic band 4, keeping the tightening rope 3 in a taut state and reducing the possibility of the free end of the elastic band 4 falling off during the wearer's movement. In addition, by setting multiple snap fasteners 61 and multiple snap fasteners, and combining different snap fasteners and snap fasteners for fastening, the tightness of both the support strip 6 and the elastic band 4 can be adjusted, improving the flexibility of the overall structure.

[0049] The above are preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
