Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a shoe having a sand guard and a fastening member on the upper. [Background technology]

[0002] As shown in Patent Document 1, shoes in which sand guard members are arranged in openings provided in the upper and fastening members can be detachably installed across the openings are widely and commonly used by people of all ages and genders.In particular, when such shoes are worn by preschool children whose fingers are still in the development stage, they are widely used because they have the advantages of being easy to put on and take off by the simple action of opening and closing the fastening members, and also being easy for adults to help children put on shoes.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Special Publication No. 7-41 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, when children put on these shoes by themselves, the fastening members may not be properly attached to the upper, or the fastening members may not be properly attached to the upper. In such cases, the shoes may come off while walking, or the shoes may not fit the child's feet well, making walking unstable.

[0005] In addition, there are cases where the sand guard member is not positioned correctly inside the opening of the upper and is turned up, or the sand guard member is forced into the toe side of the upper and the fastening member is fixed to the upper. In such cases, the sand guard member may apply strong pressure to the foot or may hit the foot, which may cause discomfort or pain to the foot when using the sand guard member.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing shoes that even children whose fingers are still developing can wear safely and comfortably by placing the sand guards and fastening members in the correct positions by themselves, without causing any discomfort to the feet. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and is provided with a shoe upper with an opening that is provided from the opening where the foot is inserted to the toe side, and a sand guard member that is attached to the inside of the upper, one end of which is fixed to the toe side of the opening and the other end is located on the opening side, and closes the opening, allowing the surface from the opening to the opening to be exposed, and a fastening member that can be detachably installed and fixed to the upper across the opening with an engaging member, and when the fastening member is installed, one component of a pattern is applied to the surface of the sand guard member on the other end side of the fastening member, and other components of the pattern are applied to the surface of the fastening member, and when the opening is closed by the sand guard member, the fastening member is installed and fixed to the upper, so that one component of the pattern and other components are combined together, and the whole of the pattern can be recognized.

[0008] The back surface of the sand guard member may be colored differently from the front surface of the sand guard member. By arranging a different color on the back surface in this way, if the sand guard member is turned up and the fastening member is fastened with the back surface facing up, the color of the sand guard member will be different from the color of the front surface, making it easier to notice that the sand guard member has been turned up. Therefore, it is considered more preferable to apply a conspicuous primary color, particularly red, yellow, or fluorescent color, to the back surface of the sand guard member, as this will make it more noticeable to the wearer. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] Since the present invention is constructed as described above, even when a child puts on the shoes by himself, by arranging the sand guards and fastening members so that the patterns of one component and the other component match, the child can naturally put on the shoes with the sand guards and fastening members in the correct positions. This prevents the shoes from coming off easily after putting on, or the sand guards from getting stuck inside the shoes, causing discomfort or pain to the feet, and allows the child to walk and exercise safely and comfortably.

[0010] Furthermore, this invention requires a series of actions when putting on shoes, such as arranging the sand guard and fastening member so that the patterns on one component match those on the other component. This can encourage hand-eye coordination and stimulate the brain, especially for preschool children whose fingers are still developing. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0012] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the shoe (1) of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The shoe (1) of this embodiment is for children, and as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the upper (2) is provided with an opening (4) into which the foot (3) is inserted, and an opening (5) is provided continuously from the opening (4) toward the toe side. As shown in Figure 3, a sand guard member (6) is provided on the inside of the upper (2) at a position corresponding to the opening (5).

[0013] As shown in Figure 1, one end (7) of the sand guard member (6) is fixed to the toe side of the opening (5), and the other end (8) is positioned to protrude toward the opening. Furthermore, the opening (5) is closed by the sand guard member (6), and the surface (10) of the sand guard member (6) is positioned in a state where it is exposed through the opening (5). The back surface (11) of the sand guard member (6) is colored a primary color that is different from the surface (10) of the sand guard member (6) and stands out.

[0014] In addition, a belt-shaped fastening member (12) is provided on the opening (5) side of the shoe opening (4). This fastening member (12) is arranged across the opening (5), and as shown in Figure 3, one end (13) thereof is connected to the inside surface of the upper (2) and the other end (14) side is a free end. The other end (14) is provided with an engaging member (hook and loop fastener) (15) of the present invention on the entire back surface, and the other hook and loop fastener (16) is provided on the outer surface of the upper (2) at a position corresponding to the other end (14) of the fastening member (12).

[0015] The fastening member (12) is connected and fixed to the hook-and-loop fastener (16) provided on the upper (2) by connecting and fixing the engaging member (15) of the fastening member (12) to the upper (2) so that the fastening member (12) can be detachably fixed to the upper (2) across the opening (5). In addition, a shoelace (17) is attached to the upper (2) between the fastening member (12) and the toe side of the opening (5) at the opening (5).

[0016] 1, the surface (10) of the sand guard member (6) is provided with a star-shaped pattern (18) as one component (20) of the pattern (18) at the widthwise center of the sand guard member (6), closer to the other end (8) of the fastening member (12) toward the opening (4) than the fastening member (12) when the fastening member (12) is installed and fixed, so that the upper half of the star-shaped pattern (18) is positioned close to the fastening member (12) when the fastening member (12) is installed and fixed. On the other hand, the surface of the fastening member (12) is provided with the star-shaped pattern (18) as another component (21) of the pattern (18) so that the lower half of the star-shaped pattern (18) is positioned close to the one component (20) when the fastening member (12) is installed and fixed.

[0017] As described above, by providing one component (20) of the pattern (18) on the sand guard member (6) and another component (21) of the pattern (18) on the fastening member (12), when the opening (5) is closed with the sand guard member (6) and the fastening member (12) is installed and fixed in the correct position on the upper (2), the one component (20) and the other component (21) are arranged in an integrated state. Therefore, when the wearer puts on the shoe (1), they can recognize that a star shape representing the entire pattern (18) has been formed.

[0018] In contrast, in the shoe (1) of this embodiment, if the fastening member (12) is connected and fixed with the sand guard member (6) turned up as shown in Fig. 4, or if the fastening member (12) is connected and fixed to the upper (2) with the sand guard member (6) inserted into the toe side of the upper (2) as shown in Fig. 5, the sand guard member (6) may exert strong pressure on the foot (3) or the sand guard member (6) may come into contact with the foot (3), causing discomfort or pain to the foot (3). In such cases, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, one component (20) of the pattern (18) on the side of the sand guard member (6) is hidden, making it impossible to visually confirm that the entire pattern (18) is formed, and as a result, the wearer can recognize that the shoe (1) of this embodiment is not being worn correctly.

[0019] Furthermore, even if the fastening member (12) is connected and fixed to the hook-and-loop fastener (16) of the upper (2) as shown in Figure 6, if the fastening member (12) is connected and fixed in an incorrect position that is offset from the hook-and-loop fastener (16), the shoe (1) may come off while walking, or the shoe (1) may not fit the foot (3) properly, resulting in an unstable walking experience. In this case, as shown in Figure 6, one component (20) of the sand guard member (6) and another component (21) of the fastening member (12) are not combined, but are connected and fixed in an offset position. Therefore, since the one component (20) and the other component (21) are not combined, the entire pattern (18) cannot be seen. In this case, as in Figures 4 and 5, it is easy to recognize that the shoe (1) of this embodiment is not being worn correctly because the entire pattern (18) cannot be seen.

[0020] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the back surface 11 of the sand guard member 6 is colored in a conspicuous primary color different from the surface 10 of the sand guard member 6. Therefore, it is easy to notice by visual inspection that the sand guard member 6 is turned up, and from this, it is also easy to recognize that the shoes 1 are not being worn correctly.

[0021] By providing the pattern 18 on the sand guard member 6 and the fastening member 12 as described above, it is possible to easily visually check whether the sand guard member 6 and the fastening member 12 are secured in the correct position when putting on the shoe 1. In particular, even when a preschool child whose fingers are still developing puts on the shoe 1 of this embodiment by himself, by paying attention to arranging the sand guard member 6 and the fastening member 12 so that one component 20 of the pattern 18 matches another component 21, the child will naturally put on the shoe 1 with the sand guard member 6 and the fastening member 12 positioned correctly.

[0022] This makes it possible to prevent the shoes (1) from coming off easily after being worn, or to prevent the sand guard members (6) from getting inside the shoes, causing discomfort or pain to the feet (3). Furthermore, in this embodiment, attention is focused on the series of actions required when putting on the shoes (1), namely, arranging the sand guard members (6) and the fastening members (12) so that the one component (20) of the pattern (18) and the other component (21) are matched, which promotes the coordination of the eyes and hands of children putting on the shoes and stimulates their brains.

[0023] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, the overall pattern 18 formed by combining one component 20 and another component 21 is a star shape, but in other embodiments, it is not limited to this, and any other pattern 23, 24 such as an automobile or helicopter can be used as shown in Fig. 7. In particular, in the case of children's shoes 1, the effect of the present invention can be further improved by using a pattern that attracts children's attention. [Explanation of symbols]
