[0010] The embodiments for carrying out the subject of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each drawing, the same or corresponding parts are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions are appropriately simplified or omitted. Note that the subject of the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and any component of the embodiment may be modified or omitted within the scope of the gist of the present disclosure.

[0011] Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a side view of a shoe cover 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0012] The shoe cover 1 is used, for example, in a work area where shoes are prohibited, to protect the floor of the work area from dirt. Work performed in the work area includes, for example, maintenance and inspection work of building facilities such as elevators, escalators, air conditioning equipment, and entrance and exit management equipment. The shoe cover 1 is applied to, for example, shoes 2 worn by workers who perform the work. The shoes 2 are, for example, safety shoes.

[0013] The shoe cover 1 includes a sole portion 3. The sole portion 3 is a portion that covers the sole 4 of the shoe 2 from below. In this example, the sole portion 3 covers the entire lower surface of the sole 4. The sole portion 3 has an edge 5 on its outer periphery. The edge 5 of the sole portion 3 rises upward so as to surround at least a portion of the outer periphery of the sole 4, including the heel, from the side. That is, the edge 5 of the sole portion 3 may rise only on the outer periphery of the heel portion of the sole portion 3 so as to surround only the heel portion of the outer periphery of the sole 4, or may rise on the entire outer periphery of the sole portion 3 so as to surround the entire outer periphery of the sole 4. In this example, the edge 5 of the sole portion 3 does not cover the upper surface of the shoe 2, such as the instep.

[0014] The sole portion 3 includes a plurality of sheets 6 on its lower surface. The plurality of sheets 6 are stacked releasably in the vertical direction. For example, each sheet 6 may be stacked releasably by applying a releasable adhesive or bonding agent to the upper surface. Each sheet 6 may be, for example, a cloth such as canvas or nonwoven fabric, a resin film, or paper or other material.

[0015] Next, an example of how to use the shoe cover 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a side view of the sole portion 3 of the shoe cover 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0016] A worker who uses the shoe cover 1 puts the shoe cover 1 on the sole 4 of the shoe 2 he or she is wearing before entering a work area where shoes are prohibited. The worker puts on the shoe cover 1, for example, by fitting the sole 4 onto the edge 5 of the sole portion 3. Note that an adhesive or a pressure sensitive adhesive may be applied to the upper surface of the sole portion 3 to improve the unity with the sole 4.

[0017] A worker wears shoes 2 fitted with shoe covers 1 to carry out work such as maintenance and inspection of building facilities. Because the shoe covers 1 prevent the soles 4 from touching the floor, the floor of the work area is protected from dirt caused by the soles 4.

[0018] After completing the work and leaving the work area where shoes are prohibited, the worker peels off the sheet 6 on the bottom surface of the sole portion 3 of the shoe cover 1. Since the bottom sheet 6 that became soiled during the work is removed, the bottom surface of the sole portion 3 becomes clean and unsoiled. The worker may remove the shoe cover 1 from the shoe 2.

[0019] Depending on the dirt on the underside of the sole portion 3, the worker may peel off and remove the bottom sheet 6 even during work. Also, the worker may peel off and remove the bottom sheet 6 before starting work.

[0020] As described above, the shoe cover 1 according to the first embodiment includes the sole portion 3. The sole portion 3 covers the sole 4 of the shoe 2 from below. The sole portion 3 includes a plurality of sheets 6 on the lower surface. The plurality of sheets 6 are stacked in a vertical direction so as to be peelable. With this configuration, even if the lower surface of the sole portion 3 in contact with the floor surface becomes dirty, the lower surface of the sole portion 3 can be easily cleaned by peeling off the lowermost sheet 6. In this way, since the lowermost surface of the sole portion 3, which is easily soiled, can be easily removed, the shoe cover 1 itself, which prevents the work place from becoming dirty, can be repeatedly used. In addition, even if the lower surface of the sole portion 3 becomes dirty during work, the lower surface of the sole portion 3 can be quickly cleaned by peeling off the soiled sheet 6. This prevents the decrease in work efficiency due to the dirt on the shoe cover 1.

[0021] The sole part 3 also has an edge 5 that rises upward so as to surround at least a part of the outer periphery of the sole 4, including the heel, from the side. This configuration enhances the unity between the sole part 3 and the sole 4. This enhances the unity between the shoe cover 1 and the shoe 2, making walking and working easier.

[0022] The function of the sole part 3 of the shoe cover 1 may be provided in the shoe 2 itself. That is, the lower surface of the sole 4 of the shoe 2 may include a plurality of sheets 6 that are peelably laminated in the vertical direction.

[0023] Each sheet 6 may also include a non-slip material on a part of the lower surface. For example, a non-slip material such as rubber may be provided on the lower surface of each sheet 6 in a portion on which the weight of the wearer is applied. The non-slip material is provided on the heel or the base of the toes, for example.

[0024] Furthermore, each sheet 6 may be flat, or may have anti-slip grooves similar to those in the soles 4 of shoes.

[0025] Embodiment 2 In the second embodiment, differences from the example disclosed in the first embodiment will be described in particular detail. For features not described in the second embodiment, any of the features of the example disclosed in the first embodiment may be adopted.

[0026] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the shoe cover 1 according to the second embodiment.

[0027] The shoe cover 1 includes a belt 7. The belt 7 is attached to the sole portion 3. The belt 7 is provided, for example, on the toe side of the sole portion 3 so that the sole portion 3 can be fixed to the shoe 2. The length of the belt 7 may be adjustable, for example, by a hook-and-loop fastener or other adjustment device. For example, a worker places the upper surface of the sole portion 3 against the sole 4 and fastens the belt 7 from above the instep of the shoe 2 to fix the sole portion 3 to the shoe 2. The shoe cover 1 may include a plurality of belts 7. With this configuration, the unity between the shoe cover 1 and the shoe 2 is improved, making it easier to walk and work. Note that, for example, when the unity between the shoe cover 1 and the shoe 2 can be sufficiently ensured by the belt 7, the edge 5 of the sole portion 3 does not need to rise up to cover the sole 4 from the side.

[0028] Embodiment 3 In the third embodiment, differences from the examples disclosed in the first and second embodiments will be described in particular detail. For features not described in the third embodiment, any of the features of the examples disclosed in the first and second embodiments may be adopted.

[0029] FIG. 4 is a side view of the sole portion 3 of the shoe cover 1 according to the third embodiment.

[0030] Each sheet 6 includes a first layer 8 on the lower surface side and a second layer 9 on the upper surface side. The first layer 8 is, for example, a floor surface protection layer that protects the floor surface of the work place from dirt and the like. The first layer 8 is, for example, made of cloth such as canvas or nonwoven fabric. The first layer 8 may have a function of absorbing dirt on the floor surface. The second layer 9 is, for example, an oil-repellent layer or an oil-proof layer that prevents oil from penetrating. The second layer 9 is, for example, a vinyl resin or other resin film. The second layer 9 may be formed by pressing, welding, bonding, or evaporating a resin or other substance that prevents oil from penetrating the first layer 8. This configuration prevents oil stains from entering the grooves of the sole 4 and the like. This prevents the oil stains that have entered the grooves of the sole 4 from reattaching to the floor surface of the work place and the spread of the stains. In addition, when the first layer 8 has a function of absorbing dirt, the dirt on the floor surface of the work place is removed by the work and walking of the worker. This will help keep your work area cleaner.

[0031] The multiple sheets 6 may not necessarily be formed by integrating the first layer 8 and the second layer 9. The multiple sheets 6 may include multiple types of sheets 6, such as a first sheet that protects the floor surface of the work area from dirt and the like, and a second sheet that prevents oil penetration. The first sheet is made of cloth such as canvas or nonwoven fabric. The second sheet is made of vinyl resin or other resin film, for example. At this time, the first sheet and the second sheet are alternately stacked in the vertical direction in the sole portion 3. With this configuration, the first sheet and the second sheet function in the same way as the first layer 8 and the second layer 9, so that redeposition and diffusion of dirt on the floor surface of the work area is similarly prevented.

[0032] Embodiment 4 In the fourth embodiment, differences from the examples disclosed in the first to third embodiments will be described in particular detail. For features not described in the fourth embodiment, any of the features of the examples disclosed in the first to third embodiments may be adopted.

[0033] FIG. 5 is a side view of the sole portion 3 of the shoe cover 1 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0034] Each sheet 6 rises upward along the entire outer periphery of the sole portion 3, for example, along the edge 5 of the sole portion 3. At this time, each sheet 6 covers the entire outer periphery of the sole 4 so as to surround it from the sides. With this configuration, the grooves of the sole 4 are covered from the sides by the sheets 6, so that the intrusion of oily dirt and the like is more effectively prevented. This makes it possible to more effectively prevent redeposition and diffusion of dirt on the floor surface of the work area.
