Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of footwear technology, specifically to a shoe tongue structure and a shoe. Background Technology
[0002] Shoe tongue misalignment is a common problem encountered during daily shoe wear, affecting not only comfort but also the overall aesthetics of the shoe. Currently, the most common design solution to prevent tongue misalignment involves adding tongue flaps to both sides of the tongue and securing them to the upper. While this method addresses the issue to some extent, it also introduces two problems: firstly, it increases manufacturing costs due to the need for additional materials and processing steps to create and install the tongue flaps; secondly, for wearers with high insteps, this design may create a feeling of pressure, reducing comfort. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects or problems in the background art and provide a shoe tongue structure and shoe. When the shoelaces are tightened, the shoe tongue structure prevents the shoe tongue body from tilting relative to the shoe during the wearing process. The design is simple and improves the comfort of wearing.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the various embodiments of this utility model adopt the following technical solutions, but are not limited to the following solutions:
[0005] The first technical solution relates to a shoe tongue structure, including a shoe tongue body. The shoe tongue body has at least one pair of perforated strips arranged along its extension direction. Each pair of perforated strips is located in the middle area of the shoe tongue body and is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center line of the shoe tongue body. The perforated strips have eyelets, and the arrangement direction of the eyelets is perpendicular to the extension direction of the shoe tongue body. The inner and outer sections of the shoelaces cross through the eyelets of the corresponding perforated strips, so that when the shoelaces are tightened, a balanced tension can be applied to the shoe tongue body from different directions to prevent the shoe tongue from tilting.
[0006] The second technical solution is based on the first technical solution, wherein when the number of perforated straps is greater than two pairs, the perforated straps of two adjacent pairs of shoe tongue structures are spaced 15mm apart along the extension direction of the shoe tongue body.
[0007] The third technical solution is based on the second technical solution, wherein the perforated band of the shoe tongue structure is located at the end of the shoe tongue body near the ankle.
[0008] The fourth technical solution is based on the third technical solution, wherein the perforated strip of the shoe tongue structure is connected to the shoe tongue body by sewing.
[0009] The fifth technical solution is based on the third technical solution, wherein the perforated strip of the shoe tongue structure is connected to the shoe tongue body by a seamless fusion method.
[0010] The sixth technical solution is based on the third technical solution, wherein the tongue structure is made of fly-knit yarn, and the perforated band of the tongue structure is woven integrally with the tongue body during the weaving process.
[0011] The seventh technical solution is based on any one of the first to sixth technical solutions, wherein a shoe has an upper including a tongue and shoelaces, the tongue adopting one of the above-mentioned tongue structures; an inner shoelace hole is provided on the inner side of the upper, and an outer shoelace hole is provided on the outer side; the inner and outer sections of the shoelaces cross each other and pass through the corresponding perforated bands of the tongue structure, and are respectively connected to the outer shoelace hole and the inner shoelace hole.
[0012] As can be seen from the above description of the various embodiments of the present utility model, compared with the prior art, the various embodiments of the present utility model have the following beneficial effects:
[0013] In the first technical solution and related embodiments, the shoe tongue structure is designed with at least a pair of perforated straps arranged along the extension direction of the shoe tongue body. These perforated straps are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center line of the shoe tongue body. The inner and outer sections of the shoelaces can cross through these perforated straps respectively, thereby applying a balanced tension to the shoe tongue body from different directions when the shoelaces are tightened. This effectively prevents the shoe tongue from tilting during exercise or walking, improving stability and comfort. In addition, since the opening direction of the perforated straps is cleverly perpendicular to the extension direction of the shoe tongue, the lacing process is smoother. When the shoelaces are fully tightened, a stable structure is formed between the shoelaces and the perforated straps. This structure can resist external force interference from all directions, ensuring that the shoe tongue always remains in its correct position, effectively preventing tilting of the shoe tongue regardless of foot movement or external impact.
[0014] In the second technical solution and related embodiments, the 15mm spacing provides suitable fixing points for the shoelaces, ensuring that the shoelaces can tightly and securely bind the tongue, effectively preventing displacement of the tongue during exercise. This spacing ensures the stability of the tongue while avoiding the discomfort caused by excessively tight shoelaces, thus balancing the tongue's fixing effect with wearing comfort. Furthermore, the reasonable spacing allows the tension of the shoelaces to be distributed more evenly on the surface of the tongue, further enhancing the overall stability of the tongue.
[0015] In the third technical solution and related embodiments, since the end of the shoe tongue body near the toes is usually connected to the shoe upper, setting a perforated band near the ankle can achieve a more balanced fixation of the shoe tongue.
[0016] In the fourth technical solution and related embodiments, the stitching method provides a strong and reliable connection, ensuring that the perforated tape is securely fixed to the shoe tongue body.
[0017] In the fifth technical solution and related embodiments, a seamless fusion connection is used to reduce friction and discomfort at the connection point and improve wearing comfort.
[0018] In the sixth technical solution and related embodiments, the perforated strip is woven integrally with the shoe tongue body during the weaving process, eliminating the need for additional processing steps, thereby improving structural stability and production efficiency and reducing costs.
[0019] In the seventh technical solution and related embodiments, the perforated strap design on the shoe tongue structure, with the inner and outer sections of the shoelaces crossing and passing through each other, applies a balanced pulling force to the shoe tongue from different directions when the shoelaces are tightened, effectively preventing the shoe tongue from tilting during exercise or walking, and improving the stability and comfort of wearing the shoes.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 2 ,like Figure 1 As shown, a shoe tongue structure includes a shoe tongue body 2, and the shoe tongue body 2 is provided with a perforated band 4.
[0031] The tongue body 2 has at least one pair of perforated straps 4, arranged along its extending direction. Each pair of perforated straps 4 is located in the central area of the tongue body 2 and is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center line of the tongue body 2. The perforated straps 4 have eyelets, which are arranged perpendicular to the extending direction of the tongue body 2. This design allows the inner and outer sections of the shoelaces 3 to cross through the eyelets of the corresponding perforated straps 4, so that when the shoelaces 3 are tightened, a balanced tension can be applied to the tongue body 2 from different directions, effectively preventing the tongue from tilting.
[0032] Specifically, the perforated strap 4 is located at the end of the shoe tongue body 2 near the ankle. Since the end of the shoe tongue body 2 near the toes is usually connected to the upper 1, setting the perforated strap 4 near the ankle can achieve more balanced fixation of the shoe tongue and improve the stability of wearing it.
[0033] When the number of perforated straps 4 is greater than two pairs, adjacent pairs of perforated straps 4 are spaced 15mm apart along the extension direction of the tongue body 2. This spacing provides suitable fixing points for the shoelaces 3, ensuring that the shoelaces 3 can tightly and securely bind the tongue, effectively preventing displacement of the tongue during movement. This spacing ensures the stability of the tongue while avoiding the discomfort caused by excessively tight shoelaces 3, thus balancing the fixing effect of the tongue with wearing comfort. Secondly, the reasonable spacing allows the tension of the shoelaces 3 to be more evenly distributed on the surface of the tongue, further enhancing the overall stability of the tongue.
[0034] In this embodiment, the tongue structure is designed with at least one pair of perforated straps 4 arranged along the extension direction of the tongue body 2. These perforated straps 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center line of the tongue body 2. The inner and outer sections of the shoelaces 3 can cross through these perforated straps 4 respectively, thereby applying a balanced tension to the tongue body 2 from different directions when the shoelaces 3 are tightened. This effectively prevents the tongue from tilting during exercise or walking, improving stability and comfort. In addition, since the opening direction of the perforated straps 4 is cleverly perpendicular to the extension direction of the tongue, the lacing process of the shoelaces 3 is smoother. When the shoelaces 3 are fully tightened, a stable structure is formed between the shoelaces 3 and the perforated straps 4. This structure can resist external force interference from all directions, ensuring that the tongue always stays in its correct position and effectively preventing tilting of the tongue regardless of foot movement or external impact.
[0035] There are three embodiments for the connection between the perforated strap 4 and the shoe tongue body 2.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] The perforated tape 4 is sewn to the shoe tongue body 2. The sewn connection is strong and reliable, ensuring that the perforated tape 4 is firmly fixed to the shoe tongue body 2.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] The perforated strap 4 is seamlessly fused to the tongue body 2. This method reduces friction and discomfort at the connection point, improving wearing comfort.
[0040] Example 3
[0041] The tongue body 2 is woven from flyknit yarn, and the perforated band 4 is woven integrally with the tongue body 2 during the weaving process. This design eliminates the need for additional processing steps, improving structural stability and production efficiency while reducing costs.
[0042] A type of shoe, such as Figure 1As shown, the shoe includes an upper 1, which includes a tongue and laces 3. The tongue employs the aforementioned tongue structure. The inner side of the upper 1 has an inner lace eyelet 3, and the outer side has an outer lace eyelet 3. The inner and outer sections of the laces 3 intersect and pass through corresponding perforated bands 4 on the tongue structure, then connect to the outer and inner lace eyelets 3 respectively. When the laces 3 are tightened, the perforated bands 4 on the tongue structure allow the inner and outer sections of the laces 3 to apply balanced tension to the tongue from different directions. This design effectively prevents the tongue from tilting during exercise or walking, improving the stability and comfort of the shoe.
[0043] The foregoing description of the specifications and embodiments is intended to explain the scope of protection of this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Modifications, equivalent substitutions, or other improvements to the embodiments of this utility model or a portion thereof that can be obtained by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation, based on the teachings of this utility model or the foregoing embodiments, should all be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
