Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This specification discloses a fishing shoe. Specifically, this specification discloses a shoe suitable for use with gravel protection gear. Background Technology
[0002] Anglers wear gravel guards to prevent sand from getting into their fishing boots. Gravel guards are also known as "leg guards." Wading pants that function as part of the trousers for gravel protection are also popular.
[0003] U.S. Patent Publication No. 2019 / 0150535 discloses a boot with gaiter straps (i.e., loops) on the upper. An accessory (i.e., a hook) for gravel protection is hooked onto this loop. The engagement of the loop and hook prevents the gravel protection from shifting upwards.
[0004] Existing technical documents
[0005] Patent document 1: U.S. Patent Publication No. 2019 / 0150535. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The problem that the invention aims to solve
[0007] When anglers wear gravel guards with a small hem, there are situations where the hook cannot reach the swivel. In this case, the hem of the gravel guard is unrestricted, and the guard may shift upwards.
[0008] When anglers wear gravel guards with large hems, even when the hook is on the swivel, there may be insufficient tension in the hem of the guard. This can create a large gap between the guard and the boot, raising concerns about sand getting into the boot.
[0009] The applicant seeks to provide a fishing shoe that can provide appropriate tension to the hem of a gravel guard, regardless of the size of the hem.
[0010] Solution for solving the problem
[0011] The fishing shoe disclosed in this specification is used with gravel guards having a locking fastener. The shoe has a sole and an upper. The upper has (1) a first locking portion that can be locked with the locking fastener and (2) a second locking portion located on the toe side of the first locking portion and capable of being locked with the locking fastener.
[0012] Invention Effects
[0013] In this fishing shoe, regardless of the size of the gravel guard at the hem, appropriate tension can be applied to the gravel guard. This gravel guard helps to prevent sand, dust, and other contaminants from entering the shoe.
[0014] Furthermore, in this fishing shoe, gravel protection can be fixed at a position corresponding to the angler's preferred location. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] exist Figures 1 to 3The image shows fishing boot 2 (fishing shoe). In these images, the left side is the toe side of fishing boot 2, and the right side is the heel side. Figure 1 In the image, the fishing boot 2 is viewed from the inside. The fishing boot 2 has a sole 4 and an upper 5.
[0028] The sole 4 has an outer sole 6, a middle sole 8, and an inner sole 10.
[0029] In this embodiment, the outer sole 6 is made of felt. Multiple fibers are intertwined within this felt. Nylon fibers, polyester fibers, etc., are suitable for felt. The outer sole 6 is bonded to the midsole 8 using an adhesive or similar means. The outer sole 6 forms the contact surface. This outer sole 6 can suppress slippage with the ground. The outer sole 6 can be composed of a synthetic resin composition, a cross-linked rubber composition, etc.
[0030] The midsole 8 is formed by cross-linking a rubber composition. The midsole 8 uses a rubber with excellent strength. Examples of preferred rubbers include natural rubber, polybutadiene, and styrene-butadiene copolymers. The midsole 8 is bonded to the upper 5 by means of an adhesive. The midsole 8 may also be composed of a synthetic resin composition.
[0031] The inner sole 10 is mounted on the upper surface of the midsole 8. In this embodiment, the inner sole 10 is bonded to the midsole 8. The inner sole 10 is a polymer foam. A typical base polymer for this foam is ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA).
[0032] The upper 5 has a main body 12, a tongue 14, multiple eyelets 16, shoelaces 18, a knob 20, webbing 22, and multiple strips 24.
[0033] The main body 12 is composed of a synthetic resin composition. The main body 12 may be composed of cross-linked rubber, fabric, etc. The main body 12 may have a buffer layer on its inner surface.
[0034] The tongue 14 is made of a synthetic resin composition. The tongue 14 may be made of a cross-linked rubber composition, fabric, etc. The tongue 14 may have a cushioning layer on its inner surface.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the fishing boot 2 has four perforated rings 16 on its inner side. Although not shown, the fishing boot 2 also has four perforated rings 16 on its outer side. The outer perforated rings 16 are arranged almost symmetrically with the inner perforated rings 16. Each perforated ring 16 is fixed to the body 12. The perforated rings 16 are made of hard resin. The perforated rings 16 can also be made of metal.
[0036] In this embodiment, the shoelace 18 is made of thread. The shoelace 18 is mounted on the eyelet 16. A portion of the shoelace 18 is wound around a knob 20. The knob 20 is mounted on the tongue 14. By rotating the knob 20, the shoelace 18 is further wound around it. This provides tension to the shoelace 18. The shoelace 18 contributes to the fit of the fishing boot 2.
[0037] like Figure 4 As shown in Figure 5, the webbing 22 is generally located above the tongue 14. The webbing 22 is partially secured to the tongue 14 at multiple locations. In this embodiment, the webbing 22 is secured to the tongue 14 by means of stitching 26. The portion of the webbing 22 not secured to the tongue 14 floats above it. Multiple spaces S1 exist between the tongue 14 and the webbing 22. The shoelace 18 passes through each space S1. (See reference...) Figure 3 As is known, webbing 22 covers a portion of shoelace 18.
[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper 5 has a first strip 24a, a second strip 24b, and a third strip 24c. Figure 4 In the diagram, arrows L1, L2, and L3 point from the heel side of the fishing boot 2 (see reference). Figure 1 The distance to the first strip 24a is L2. The distance to the second strip 24b is greater than the distance to the first strip 24a is L1. In other words, the second strip 24b is located on the toe side of the first strip 24a. The distance to the third strip 24c is L3, which is greater than the distance to the second strip 24b is L2. In other words, the third strip 24c is located on the toe side of the second strip 24b.
[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, each strip 24 is positioned above the webbing 22. The ends of the strips 24 are secured to the webbing 22 near the ends by stitches 28. The portions of the strips 24 not secured to the webbing 22 float above it. A space S2 exists between the webbing 22 and the strips 24. The webbing 22 and the strips 24 form a loop. The stitches 28 extend to the tongue 14. In other words, the stitches 28 also contribute to the securing of the webbing 22 to the tongue 14.
[0040] exist Figure 6In the image, wading pants 30 are shown together with fishing boots 2. The wading pants 30 have legs 32, socks 34, and gravel guards 36. The socks 34 are continuous with the legs 32. The gravel guards 36 are secured to the legs 32. The gravel guards 36 include hook and loop fasteners 38. The hook and loop fasteners 38 have hook-side straps 40 and loop-side straps 42. A typical hook and loop fastener 38 is Velcro (registered trademark). The hook-side straps 40 have multiple tiny hooks (not shown) on their surface. The hook-side straps 40 are sewn to the body of the gravel guards 36 on the toe side. The loop-side straps 42 have multiple tiny loops (not shown) on their surface. One end of the loop-side straps 42 is sewn to the body of the gravel guards 36 on the toe side. In this embodiment, the gravel guards 36, which are formed separately from the legs 32, are secured to the legs 32. The gravel guard 36 can also be integrated with the leg guard 32.
[0041] exist Figure 7 The image shows fishing boot 2 and gravel guard 36a. Figure 7 Arrow W1 in the diagram indicates the width (i.e., dimension) near the hem 44a of the gravel guard 36a. As previously mentioned, the gravel guard 36a has hook-and-loop fasteners 38. Figure 7 In the middle, the loop side band 42 passes through the first band 24a. A portion of the loop side band 42 overlaps with the hook side band 40. The tiny loops of the loop side band 42 engage with the tiny hooks of the hook side band 40. Figure 7 In this setup, the gravel guard 36a is engaged and secured to the first strip 24a by means of the hook-and-loop fastener 38. This engagement prevents upward movement of the lower hem 44a of the gravel guard 36a. Appropriate tension is generated in the lower hem 44a of the gravel guard 36a. The gap between the gravel guard 36a and the fishing boot 2 is small. The gravel guard 36a effectively prevents sand, dust, and other contaminants from entering the fishing boot 2.
[0042] Because the width W1 is small, the gravel guard 36a cannot be secured to the second strip 24b. Furthermore, the gravel guard 36a also cannot be secured to the third strip 24c.
[0043] exist Figure 8 In the image, along with fishing boot 2, another gravel guard 36b is shown. The width W2 of the area near the hem 44b of this gravel guard 36b is greater than... Figure 7 The width W1 shown is large. Figure 8 In the middle, the side band 42 passes through the second band 24b. The gravel guard 36b is engaged and secured to the second band 24b by means of a hook-and-loop fastener 38. This engagement prevents upward movement of the lower hem 44b of the gravel guard 36b. Appropriate tension is generated in the lower hem 44b of the gravel guard 36b. The gap between the gravel guard 36b and the fishing boot 2 is small. The gravel guard 36b can prevent sand, dust, etc., from entering the fishing boot 2.
[0044] The gravel guard 36b can also be locked and secured to the first strip 24a. If the gravel guard 36b is locked and secured to the first strip 24a, the tension of the lower hem 44b is insufficient. In this case, sand and other particles can easily enter the fishing boot 2. Of course, if the angler prefers lower tension, the gravel guard 36b can also be locked and secured to the first strip 24a. The gravel guard 36b cannot be locked and secured to the third strip 24c.
[0045] exist Figure 9 In the image, along with fishing boot 2, another gravel guard 36c is shown. The width W3 of the area near the hem 44c of this gravel guard 36c is greater than... Figure 8 The width W2 shown is large. Figure 9 In the middle, the side band 42 passes through the third band 24c. The gravel guard 36c is engaged and secured to the third band 24c by means of a hook-and-loop fastener 38. This engagement prevents the lower hem 44c of the gravel guard 36c from moving upwards. Appropriate tension is generated at the lower hem 44c of the gravel guard 36c. The gap between the gravel guard 36c and the fishing boot 2 is small. The gravel guard 36c can prevent sand, dust, etc., from entering the fishing boot 2.
[0046] The gravel guard 36c can also be locked and fixed to the second strip 24b. If the gravel guard 36c is locked and fixed to the second strip 24b, the tension of the lower hem 44c is insufficient. In this case, sand and the like can easily enter the fishing boot 2. Furthermore, the gravel guard 36c can also be locked and fixed to the first strip 24a. If the gravel guard 36c is locked and fixed to the first strip 24a, the tension of the lower hem 44c is insufficient. In this case, sand and the like can easily enter the fishing boot 2. Of course, if the angler prefers lower tension, the gravel guard 36c can be locked and fixed to either the first strip 24a or the second strip 24b.
[0047] In this fishing boot 2, the gravel guard 36 can be snapped into place at the hem 44 to generate appropriate tension. In this fishing boot 2, the gravel guard 36 can be snapped into place at the angler's preferred position.
[0048] As previously described, each of the strips 24 is positioned above the webbing 22. This prevents the hook-and-loop fastener 38 from contacting the shoelace 18. The webbing 22 prevents damage to the shoelace 18 caused by the hook-and-loop fastener 38. One or more strips 24 may also be located outside the webbing 22.
[0049] In this embodiment, the hook and loop fastener 38 functions as a locking and fixing member, and the strip 24 functions as the locked and fixed part. Alternatively, the gravel guard 36 may have the strip as the locking and fixing member, and the fishing boot 2 may have the hook and loop fastener as the locked and fixed part.
[0050] In this embodiment, the number of engaging and fixing parts (strip 24) is three. The number of engaging and fixing parts can also be two. The number of engaging and fixing parts can also be four or more. The fishing boot 2 can have various engaging and fixing parts with different shapes. The fishing boot 2 can use various shapes of engaging and fixing parts that can be directly or indirectly engaged and fixed by the gravel guard 36.
[0051] It can also be attached to the fishing boot 2 with the 30-piece gravel guard (i.e., leg warmers) of wading pants. Fishing shoes other than boots (such as Japanese split-toe socks) can also have multiple attaching parts.
[0052] exist Figure 10 In the image, along with the fishing boot 2, another pair of wading pants 30d is shown. These wading pants 30d have gravel guards 36d. The gravel guards 36d include hooks 46 as locking fasteners. The hooks 46 are secured to the body of the gravel guards 36d on the toe side. Figure 10 In the middle, hook 46 is engaged and fixed to the first strip 24a. This engagement prevents the lower hem 44d of the gravel guard 36d from moving upwards. Appropriate tension is generated on the lower hem 44d of the gravel guard 36d. The gap between the gravel guard 36d and the fishing boot 2 is small. The gravel guard 36d effectively prevents sand, dust, etc., from entering the fishing boot 2.
[0053] Alternatively, the hook 46 can be engaged and fixed to the second strip 24b, corresponding to the width of the gravel protection 36. Alternatively, the hook 46 can be engaged and fixed to the third strip 24c, corresponding to the width of the gravel protection 36.
[0054] exist Figure 11 The image shows a portion of the fishing boot 48 as described in other embodiments. Figure 11 The image shows a tongue 50, a webbing 52, a pressure cloth 54, and a ring 56. The shapes of the tongue 50 and the webbing 52 are respectively... Figure 5 The tongue 14 and webbing 22 shown are the same shape. The specifications of the fishing boot 48, body, eyelets, laces, and knobs are the same as those shown in [the original text]. Figures 1 to 5 These components are the same as those in the fishing boot 48 shown.
[0055] The fishing boot 48 serves as a locking and fixing part, replacing the strap 24 (see reference). Figure 5 The fishing boot 48 has a ring 56. This ring 56 is shaped like the letter "D". The ring 56 is attached to the webbing 52 by means of a pressure cloth 54. Although not shown, the fishing boot 48 has one or more other rings 56 besides this ring 56. The angler can thread the hook and loop fastener 38 through any of the rings 56, depending on the width of the gravel guard 36 and preferred tension. It is also possible to thread other locking fasteners (e.g., in…) through the rings 56. Figure 10The hook 46 is shown in the image. The fishing boot 48 may include a ring of other shapes. The fishing boot 48 may also have a ring together with it. Figure 5 The strip 24 shown in the image.
