[0035] The following describes some embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features therein may be combined with each other.

[0036] refer to Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the present application discloses an integrated tongue 100 and elderly shoes having the integrated tongue 100. The integrated tongue 100 is elastic and saddle-shaped. The longitudinal direction Y of the integrated tongue 100 is bent toward a first direction A, and the transverse direction X of the integrated tongue 100 is bent toward a second direction B. The first direction A and the second direction B are opposite.

[0037] In this way, the inner surface of the saddle-shaped integrated tongue 100 can better fit the instep of the foot when in use, which is more in line with the human body's foot-inserting posture. At the same time, since the integrated tongue 100 has elastic properties, it is not easy to produce wrinkles. The elderly do not need to bend over to adjust the tongue, reducing the frequency of bending over. In addition, during the wearing process, the pressure can be better released, reducing friction and pressure on the foot during exercise or activities, increasing wearing comfort and reducing discomfort, and providing a better wearing experience.

[0038] In addition, the saddle-shaped streamlined lines can give people a soft texture, while allowing the softness to be achieved through the effect of material and structure, while also having additional visual softness, three-dimensional triggering comfort, and better fitting the curve of the foot.

[0039] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2The one-piece tongue 100 is made of elastic fiber cloth, a sponge layer (not shown) and an anti-slip cloth 120 through high-temperature molding. The anti-slip cloth 120 is used to contact the instep, the elastic fiber cloth is used to contact the upper, and the sponge layer is located between the elastic fiber cloth and the anti-slip cloth 120. The elastic fiber cloth can be Lycra cloth 110, which has excellent elasticity and recovery ability. It can also maintain shape and dimensional stability after multiple stretching, thereby ensuring the shape stability of the one-piece tongue 100. At the same time, Lycra cloth 110 has good air permeability, chemical resistance and aging resistance, so that the tongue has a long life under long-term friction with the upper. At the same time, it effectively discharges humid air in the shoe during exercise and introduces fresh air into the shoe, which not only improves the comfort when wearing, but also prevents problems such as odor and is easy to clean.

[0040] The anti-slip fabric 120 uses mesh anti-slip fabric 120, which improves foot entry and provides good breathability. The sponge layer uses a super memory sponge, which has been treated with high temperature to achieve a certain support hardness. This prevents the edge and tongue from curling when inserting the foot, eliminating the need to bend over or pull the tongue, allowing for easy entry. It also provides additional cushioning and support for increased wearing comfort. Compared to other leather tongues, the sponge reduces weight, preventing excessive strain on foot muscles and joints. It also has good breathability and dries quickly, making it easy to clean the shoes.

[0041] The edge of the elastic fiber cloth is folded into the inner surface of the anti-slip cloth 120 to wrap the edge of the anti-slip cloth 120. Since the elastic fiber cloth is located on the outside, the folding machine can be used to complete the folding without turning it over to achieve edge sealing. Compared with the existing technology that requires pasting the lining cloth, sponge and mesh cloth and then fitting them in reverse, and then flattening them on a small wooden stake to avoid wrinkles, it improves production efficiency and can reduce costs. Moreover, the integrated appearance of the tongue after folding is better, while weakening the foreign body sensation and improving wearing comfort.

[0042] It should also be noted that the tongue in the prior art needs to go through four processes in sequence: a sandwich mesh production process, an inner sponge laminating process, a tongue reverse connection and flattening process, and a tongue trim process. The integrated tongue 100 in this embodiment is made of a lycra cloth 110, a high-resilience sponge, and an anti-slip cloth 120 that are stacked and glued together and then subjected to a high-temperature molding and folding process. The process has fewer steps, improves timeliness, and reduces labor and material costs. The folding process can be performed before high-temperature molding, which can ensure that the edge processing is more refined, and the material after folding is easier to maintain its shape during the molding process, reducing the displacement of the material and avoiding edge deformation during the molding process. The folding process can also be performed after high-temperature molding, which reduces the complex operations, labor hours, and equipment investment in the early stage, simplifies the process flow, and reduces production costs.

[0043] The sponge layer's width in the transverse X direction is smaller than that of the anti-slip fabric 120. This creates a step between the sponge layer's central region in the longitudinal direction Y and the anti-slip fabric 120. Consequently, because the outer lycra fabric 110 is also in close contact with the sponge layer and the anti-slip fabric 120, the tongue also exhibits a stepped step of 130°, enhancing the tongue's overall layering and three-dimensionality. Furthermore, because both transverse X sides and one longitudinal Y side of the tongue are pressed against the underside of the upper, leaving the central X portion exposed, this minimizes the sponge layer's obstruction, preserving its fluffiness. This reduces the sense of restraint felt by the tongue's elastic band on the instep, creating a softer, more elastic feel.

[0044] The surface of the sponge layer facing the elastic fiber cloth has multiple grooves spaced along the longitudinal direction Y, and the Lycra cloth 110 is accordingly embedded in these grooves to form a depression 140 on the outside of the integrated tongue 100, which can also improve the layering and three-dimensional appearance of the outer surface of the tongue.

[0045] Additionally, in some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 Alternatively, the tongue 100 can be formed directly from memory foam with exceptionally high memory properties, which is then heated to form a crisp, integrated tongue. This memory foam is soft and flexible, providing additional cushioning and support, increasing the comfort of the tongue. Furthermore, the manufacturing process is simpler and less expensive.

[0046] Regardless of whether the integrated tongue 100 is directly made of memory sponge with super memory or the integrated tongue 100 is made of Lycra cloth 110, sponge layer and anti-slip cloth 120 through bending and molding, its overall shape still remains saddle-shaped.

[0047] Among them, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 When the longitudinal direction Y of the integrated tongue 100 is bent toward the first direction A, it can form a circular arc with a constant bending angle or a curved arc with a variable bending angle. The bending angle α can range from 50 to 70 degrees, as long as both sides of the longitudinal direction Y of the tongue are tilted upward. When the transverse direction X of the integrated tongue 100 is bent toward the second direction B, it can form a circular arc with a constant bending angle or a curved arc with a variable bending angle. The bending angle β can range from 110 to 130 degrees, as long as both sides of the transverse direction X of the tongue are pressed downward. This can well conform to the human foot insertion posture. Compared with traditional flat, uncurved tongues, this can save users from bending over, reduce the risk of curling, and improve comfort.

[0048] The thickness of the integrated tongue 100 gradually decreases from the center to the sides along the longitudinal direction Y. The thickness of the integrated tongue 100 gradually decreases from the center to the sides along the transverse direction X. The thickness H of the integrated tongue 100 at the center is 5 to 8 mm, for example, 6.5 mm. The thickness H of the integrated tongue 100 at both sides along the longitudinal direction Y is 5 to 8 mm. 中 1~1.4mm, for example, the thickness H of one side 纵1 The thickness of the other side is 1.2mm. 纵2 The thickness of the integrated tongue 100 on both sides of the transverse X is 1 to 1.2 mm, for example, the thickness H on both sides 横1 and H 横2 The thickness is 1.2mm. This is because the hidden area of ​​the tongue is pressed under the upper, so if the thickness is not changed like an ordinary tongue, there will be a foreign body feeling. In this embodiment, the thickness of the tongue part pressed under the upper is squeezed to the thinnest, so that it can be connected to other parts without a foreign body feeling.

[0049] In addition, an embodiment of the present application also discloses a pair of shoes for the elderly, which includes the integrated tongue 100 of the above embodiment and therefore also has a corresponding structure. Please refer to the above content for details and will not be repeated here.

[0050] In summary, the embodiments of the present application disclose an integrated tongue 100 and shoes for the elderly. The inner surface of the saddle-shaped integrated tongue 100 can better fit the instep of the foot when in use, which is more in line with the posture of the human body putting the foot into the foot. At the same time, since the integrated tongue 100 has elastic properties, it is not easy to wrinkle. The elderly do not need to bend over to adjust the tongue, reducing the frequency of bending over, and can guide the pressure to be better released during the wearing process, reducing friction and pressure on the foot during exercise or activities, increasing wearing comfort and reducing discomfort, and providing a better wearing experience.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them.
