[0002] BACKGROUND ART Various types of footwear (so-called disaster prevention shoes) and footwear covers (so-called disaster prevention shoe covers) have been developed to protect the feet of wearers in the event of disasters such as earthquakes and fires. Such conventional disaster prevention shoe covers are disclosed, for example, in Patent Document 1 below. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-255738 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The prior art shown in Patent Document 1 above is an invention related to disaster prevention shoe covers, which have the advantage of being able to protect shoes that are vulnerable to heat and scratches from the heat and debris of a fire during disasters such as earthquakes and fires, particularly when evacuating from areas where hotel floors and hallway carpets have been burned by the heat of the fire, or when evacuating from areas around buildings where debris such as glass shards, blocks, and metal fragments is scattered. However, with these conventional disaster prevention shoe covers and disaster prevention shoes, the inventive idea was focused solely on how to protect the wearer's feet, and there was no footwear designed to store and carry information that children, particularly children in the lower grades of elementary school who are unable to effectively communicate their guardian's contact information or their own identity to third parties, may need to convey to third parties or information that the wearer needs to know in the event that they encounter a disaster while walking to or from school or playing outside the home, or if they become separated from their guardian.Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop footwear that incorporates this inventive idea.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the problems of the conventional technology described above and to provide footwear that is simple in construction yet can be used by people who are unable to properly communicate their identity to third parties, such as children or the elderly, and that can be equipped with the function of storing and carrying information that the wearer wishes to communicate to third parties or information that the wearer should know, and that can also be used as disaster prevention school shoes, particularly for children in the lower grades of elementary school. [Means for solving the problem]

In addition to the first feature, the footwear of the present invention has a second feature in that it is provided with an instep band as a fastening means, and an information card storage section on the back surface of the instep band. In addition to the first feature, the footwear of the present invention has a third feature in that it includes a tongue and an information card storage section on the front surface of the tongue. In addition to the second feature, the footwear of the present invention has a fourth feature in that it is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener at the tip region of the back surface of the instep band, and a hook-and-loop fastener that engages with the hook-and-loop fastener at a position on the surface of the upper that abuts the hook-and-loop fastener, and a notch that is connected to the internal space of the instep band on the back surface of the instep band toward the rear end of the instep band beyond the hook-and-loop fastener and allows an information card to be inserted freely, and the notch and the internal space of the instep band form an information card storage section. In addition to the fourth feature, the footwear of the present invention has a fifth feature in that it is a disaster prevention school shoe for children, which comprises an insole and a midsole, the midsole being formed of a puncture-resistant material, the sole having a non-slip function, the upper having a waterproof function, and a specified area of ​​the upper having a reflective function that is visible in dark areas. In addition to the third feature, the footwear of the present invention has a sixth feature in that a thin plate-like member is sewn to the tongue at the center of the upper side of the outer surface of the tongue, and a notch is provided near the upper end of the thin plate-like member that communicates with the internal space of the thin plate-like member and allows an information card to be inserted freely, and the notch and the internal space of the thin plate-like member form an information card storage section. Furthermore, in addition to any one of the fourth to sixth features, the footwear of the present invention has a seventh feature in that the information card is formed from a sheet-like material and, when stored in the information card storage section, has a non-exposed area that is stored within the information card storage section and is not visible, and an exposed area that is exposed outside the information card storage section and is visible, and the non-exposed area has a space for writing information that the wearer wishes to communicate to a third party or information that the wearer should be aware of. In addition to the seventh feature, the footwear of the present invention has an eighth feature in that the non-exposed region is foldable in half. In addition to the seventh feature, the footwear of the present invention has a ninth feature in that the exposed area has a width greater than the opening width of the notch. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the footwear described in claim 1, by providing an information card storage section in a predetermined position on the upper that stores an information card filled with information that the wearer wishes to communicate to a third party or information that the wearer should know, footwear used by people who are unable to properly communicate their identity to third parties, such as children or the elderly, can be given the ability to store and carry information that the wearer wishes to communicate to a third party or information that the wearer should know.

[0008] Furthermore, according to the footwear described in claim 2, in addition to the advantageous effects of the configuration described in claim 1, by providing an information card storage section on the back surface of the instep band, it is possible to make the information card storage section invisible to third parties during normal use of the footwear. Thus, while the footwear is capable of storing and carrying an information card filled with information to be communicated to third parties or information that the wearer himself needs to know, during normal use except in the event of a disaster or the like when the written information needs to be communicated to third parties or confirmed by the wearer himself, it is possible to make the presence of the information card difficult for third parties to easily detect, resulting in footwear that takes privacy into consideration.

[0009] Furthermore, according to the footwear described in claim 3, in addition to the advantageous effects of the configuration described in claim 1, by providing an information card storage section on the front surface of the tongue, it is possible to effectively prevent the information card storage section from being damaged by rubbing against the foot, thereby making it possible to provide a durable information card storage section.

[0010] Furthermore, according to the footwear described in claim 4, in addition to the advantageous effects of the configuration described in claim 2, the instep band is equipped with a hook-and-loop fastener, making it easy to put on and take off, thus providing footwear that is even more convenient for children and the elderly. In addition, a notch is provided on the back side of the instep band, closer to the rear end than the hook-and-loop fastener, that connects to the internal space of the instep band and allows the information card to be inserted freely, and by forming an information card storage section using this notch and the internal space of the instep band, the information card storage section can be formed with a simple configuration.

[0011] Furthermore, according to the footwear described in claim 5, in addition to the advantageous effects of the configuration described in claim 4, the footwear can be useful as disaster prevention shoes for children commuting to school, particularly for children in the lower grades of elementary school.

[0012] Furthermore, according to the footwear described in claim 6, in addition to the advantageous effects of the configuration described in claim 3, a thin plate-like member is sewn to the tongue at the center position on the upper side of the outer surface of the tongue, and a notch is provided near the upper end of the thin plate-like member that is connected to the internal space of the thin plate-like member and allows an information card to be inserted freely, and the information card storage section is formed by the notch and the internal space of the thin plate-like member, making it possible to form the information card storage section with a simple configuration.

[0013] Furthermore, according to the footwear described in claim 7, in addition to the advantageous effects of the configuration described in any one of claims 4 to 6 above, the information card is configured to have a space in the non-exposed area for writing information that the wearer wishes to communicate to a third party or information that the wearer should know. This allows the footwear to store and carry an information card filled with information that the wearer wishes to communicate to a third party or information that the wearer should know, but during normal use, except in the event of a disaster or other such event when the written information needs to be communicated to a third party or confirmed by the wearer himself, the footwear is configured so that third parties cannot easily detect the presence of the information card, making it possible to provide footwear that is even more privacy-conscious.

[0014] Furthermore, according to the footwear described in claim 8, in addition to the advantageous effects of the configuration described in claim 7, the non-exposed area is configured to be foldable in half, which provides more space for writing information to be communicated to third parties or information that the wearer should know, and also makes it possible to create an information card that can be stored compactly.

[0015] Furthermore, according to the footwear of claim 9, in addition to the advantageous effects of the configuration of claim 7, the exposed area is configured to have a width greater than the opening width of the notch, which reliably prevents the information card from being accidentally inserted completely into the storage section, making it difficult to remove the information card from the information card storage section, and also allows the exposed area to be used as a grip when removing the stored information card, resulting in an even more convenient information card.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] Footwear according to embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings to aid in understanding the present invention. However, the following description does not limit the present invention as defined in the claims.

[0018] First, footwear 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1(a), footwear 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is a child's school shoes for disaster preparedness that can be used as everyday shoes. More specifically, it is a so-called sneaker that includes an upper 2 and a sole 3, and is equipped with an information card storage section 13 in a predetermined position on the upper 2 (in this embodiment, on the back surface B of the instep band 10) that stores an information card 14 on which information to be communicated to a third party or information that the wearer should know is written. The shoe opening of the upper 2 is also provided with an instep band 10 as a fastening means, shoelaces 20, and a tongue 30 containing cushioning material to protect the wearer's instep. The shoelaces 20 in this embodiment are made of elastic rubber and have the function of supporting the wearer's foot when the wearer is wearing the footwear 1. Although not shown in detail, the footwear 1 according to this embodiment also includes a midsole 4 and an insole 5 above the sole 3, as shown in FIG. 1(c).

[0019] The upper 2 is a component of the footwear 1 that covers the wearer's foot and forms a storage space for storing the foot. In this embodiment, the material for the predetermined area indicated by the black dots in Fig. 1(b) is a commonly used material that has a reflective property that is visible in dark areas and a waterproof property. In this embodiment, the material for the upper 2 in the area other than the predetermined area indicated by the black dots in Fig. 1(b) is synthetic leather that has a waterproof property.

[0020] The sole 3 serves as the base of the footwear 1 and forms the contact surface with the ground. In this embodiment, the sole 3 is a commonly used lightweight sole with anti-slip properties.

[0021] As shown in Fig. 1(c), the midsole 4 is disposed between the sole 3 and the insole 5, and is a member for absorbing shocks caused by unevenness of the ground, etc. In this embodiment, the midsole 4 is configured to be made of a commonly used puncture-resistant material.

[0022] The insole 5 is a member that comes into contact with the wearer's foot and provides cushioning inside the footwear 1. In this embodiment, the insole 5 is made of a commonly used, washable material.

[0023] As shown in Figure 1(b), the instep band 10 is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener 11 in the tip region of the back surface B. A hook-and-loop fastener 12 that engages with the hook-and-loop fastener 11 is provided at a position on the surface of the upper that abuts the hook-and-loop fastener 11, and the hook-and-loop fastener 11 and the hook-and-loop fastener 12 form the fastening means for the footwear 1. Further, a substantially linear notch 13a is provided on the back side B of the instep band 10 closer to the rear end of the instep band 10 than the hook-and-loop fastener 11, which communicates with the internal space of the instep band 10 and allows an information card 14 formed of a sheet-like material to be inserted, and as shown by the dashed line in Figure 1(b), this notch 13a and the internal space of the instep band 10 form the information card storage section 13. Note that in this embodiment, the "internal space" refers to the hollow portion formed between a pair of elongated synthetic leather pieces by sewing the short ends of the instep band 10, which is made of a pair of synthetic leather pieces, along the longitudinal direction. The shape, length, and setting position of the notch 13a, as well as the shape and size of the internal space, are not limited to those of this embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate to suit the short-side length of the instep band 10, the shape and size of the information card 14, etc.

[0024] The information card 14 is used to write information that the wearer wishes to communicate to a third party or information that the wearer should know. More specifically, in this embodiment, the information card 14 is used by guardians or relatives of children, particularly children in the lower grades of elementary school or younger who are unable to properly communicate their guardian's contact information or their own identity to a third party, to write information that the guardian or relatives wish to communicate to a third party or information that the wearer of the footwear 1 should remember or confirm and know in the event of a disaster. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, a substantially T-shaped sheet member is used as the information card 14. More specifically, the sheet member is made of paper with a waterproof coating. It is desirable to use paper that is thick and made of a material that will not easily bend when inserting or removing the card into the information card storage section 13.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, when stored in the information card storage section 13, the information card 14 has a non-exposed area 14a that is stored within the information card storage section 13 and is not visible, and an exposed area 14b that is exposed outside the information card storage section 13 and is visible, and the non-exposed area 14a is configured to have a writing column for writing information that the wearer wishes to communicate to a third party or information that the wearer should know. 3(c), on the front surface S of the non-exposed area 14a formed in a long and narrow rectangular shape, the words "Contact Card" are printed on the exposed area 14b side, and a first information entry field J1 is provided next to it. In this embodiment, the first information entry field J1 is a so-called memo entry field where information to be communicated to a third party or information that the wearer himself / herself should know (for example, a meeting place or evacuation site decided by the family in the event of a disaster) can be freely written. 3(d), a second information entry field is provided on the back surface B of the non-exposed region 14a, which is formed in a long, narrow rectangular shape, on the exposed region 14b side, and a third information entry field J3 is provided parallel to the second information entry field. In this embodiment, the second information entry field J2 is a name entry field for communicating the name of the wearer of the footwear 1 to a third party, and the third information entry field J3 is a contact entry field for communicating the phone number of the guardian or family member of the wearer of the footwear 1 to a third party or for the wearer to confirm and understand.

[0026] 3(a) and 3(b), in this embodiment, the non-exposed area 14a of the information card 14 is configured to be foldable in half. More specifically, as indicated by the dashed lines in FIGS. 3(c) and 3(d), the non-exposed area 14a can be folded in half between the area printed with "Contact Card" and the first information entry field J1 on the front surface S, and between the second information entry field J2 and the third information entry field J3 on the back surface B.

[0027] 1(b) and 2(a), the exposed region 14b is configured such that the width (the length in the short direction of the instep band 10) of the exposed region 14b, which is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, is larger than the opening width of the notch 13a provided on the back surface B of the instep band 10. In this embodiment, the width of the exposed region 14b (the length in the short direction of the instep band 10) is larger than the width of the non-exposed region 14a (the length in the short direction of the instep band 10).

[0028] The footwear 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention configured as described above provides the following effects.

[0029] By providing an information card storage section 13 in a predetermined position on the upper 2 (in this first embodiment, on the back surface B of the instep band 10) that stores an information card 14 filled with information that the wearer wishes to communicate to a third party or information that the wearer should know, the footwear 1 can be given the function of storing and carrying an information card 14 filled with information that the wearer wishes to communicate to a third party or information that the wearer should know when wearing the footwear 1, by parents or relatives of children, particularly children in the lower grades of elementary school or younger who are unable to properly communicate their parents' contact information or their own identity to third parties. Therefore, if a child, particularly a child in the early elementary school years or younger who is unable to easily communicate their parent's contact information or their own identity to a third party, encounters a disaster while going to or from school or playing outside the home, or becomes separated from their parent, the child can clearly and reliably communicate their parent's contact information and their own identity to a third party, such as a firefighter, who rescues or protects them. This allows the third party, such as a firefighter, to quickly contact their parent or family member. Furthermore, during a disaster, children may be so upset that they cannot remember who to contact or where to evacuate. In such cases, the wearer can check the contents of the information card 14 to reliably ascertain contact information, evacuation destinations, etc. Therefore, footwear 1 can be extremely useful during disasters and other emergencies.

[0030] Furthermore, by providing an information card storage section 13 on the back surface B of the instep band 10, it is possible to construct the footwear 1 so that the information card storage section 13 is not visible to third parties during normal use. Therefore, while the footwear 1 is capable of storing and carrying an information card 14 filled with information that the wearer wishes to communicate to third parties or information that the wearer should know, during normal use, excluding times such as disasters when the written information needs to be communicated to third parties or needs to be confirmed by the wearer, the footwear 1 is constructed in such a way that third parties cannot easily detect the presence of the information card, making it a footwear 1 that takes privacy into consideration.

[0031] Furthermore, by providing the instep band 10 with the hook-and-loop fastener 11, the footwear 1 can be easily put on and taken off. This makes the footwear 1 even more convenient for children. Furthermore, a notch 13a that communicates with the internal space of the instep band 10 and allows the information card 14 to be inserted is provided on the back side B of the instep band 10 closer to the rear end than the hook-and-loop fastener 12, and the information card storage section 13 is formed by the notch 13a and the internal space of the instep band 10, thereby allowing the information card storage section 13 to be formed with a simple configuration. This reduces the cost of footwear 1 that includes the information card storage section 13. In addition, footwear 1 that can be used everyday can be given the ability to store and carry an information card 14 on which information to be communicated to a third party or information that the wearer should know is written.

[0032] Furthermore, by configuring the midsole 4 to be made of a puncture-resistant material, the sole 3 to be lightweight and have anti-slip properties, and the upper 2 to be waterproof and have reflective properties in specified areas that are visible in dark areas, the footwear 1 can be made into an everyday item that can be used as disaster prevention school shoes for children, particularly those in the lower grades of elementary school.

[0033] Furthermore, the information card 14 is configured such that the non-exposed area 14a has multiple fields (in this embodiment, three fields: a first information field J1, a second information field J2, and a third information field J3) for entering information that the wearer wishes to communicate to a third party or information that the wearer should be aware of. This allows the footwear to store and carry an information card filled with information that the wearer wishes to communicate to a third party or information that the wearer should be aware of, but the information cannot be easily understood by third parties during normal use except in the event of a disaster or other such event when the information that has been written needs to be communicated to a third party or confirmed by the wearer, making the footwear 1 even more privacy-friendly.

[0034] Furthermore, by configuring the non-exposed area 14a to be foldable in two, more space can be provided for writing information that the wearer wishes to communicate to a third party or information that the wearer should know, and the information card 14 can be stored compactly.

[0035] Furthermore, by configuring exposed area 14b to have a width greater than the opening width of notch 13a, it is possible to reliably prevent information card 14 from being accidentally inserted completely into information card storage section 13, making it difficult to pull out information card 14 from information card storage section 13, and it is also possible to use exposed area 14b as a grip when pulling out stored information card 14. This makes it possible to provide an information card 14 that is even more convenient.

[0036] Next, footwear according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 4. Although the entire footwear is not shown, the footwear according to this second embodiment differs from footwear 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention in that the fastening means is configured to use shoelaces from the instep band and an information card storage section is provided in the tongue. Since the rest of the configuration is the same as that of footwear 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the same components and parts that perform the same functions are designated by the same numbers, and only the information card storage section will be described below.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 4, the footwear according to the second embodiment is configured to include an information card storage section 15 on the front surface S of the tongue section 30. Specifically, a long, thin plate-like member is disposed at the center position in the left-right direction on the upper side of the front surface S of the tongue portion 30, and the peripheral edge of the thin plate-like member is sewn to the tongue portion 30. In addition, a notch 15a is provided near the upper end of the thin plate-like member, which communicates with the internal space of the thin plate-like member and allows the information card 14 to be freely inserted, and this notch 15a and the internal space of the thin plate-like member form the information card storage section 15. More specifically, in this embodiment, the thin plate-like members are configured by stacking a pair of elongated synthetic leather pieces formed to have the same shape (rectangular in this embodiment) and the same size one on top of the other. The configuration of the interior space is the same as that of the interior space of the footwear 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above.

[0038] By providing the information card storage section 15 on the front surface S of the tongue 30 in this manner, it is possible to effectively prevent the information card storage section 15 from being damaged by rubbing against the foot, thereby making it possible to provide a durable information card storage section 15. Furthermore, a thin plate-like member is sewn to the tongue 30 at the center position in the left-right direction on the upper side of the front surface S of the tongue 30, and a notch 15a is provided near the upper end of the thin plate-like member, which communicates with the internal space of the thin plate-like member and allows the information card 14 to be inserted freely. The information card storage section 15 is formed by this notch 15a and the internal space of the thin plate-like member, thereby allowing the information card storage section 15 to be formed with a simple configuration. This reduces the cost of footwear equipped with an information card storage section. In addition, it is possible to add the function of storing and carrying an information card 14 on which information to be communicated to a third party or information that the wearer himself / herself needs to know is written to footwear that can be worn everyday.

[0039] In the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the footwear is configured as disaster prevention shoes for children, particularly for children in the lower grades of elementary school who are unable to properly communicate their parent's contact information or their own identity to third parties. However, the footwear of the present invention is not limited to this configuration and may be configured as footwear for elderly people who are unable to properly communicate their identity to third parties when going out alone. In this case, the footwear can be very useful for family members of elderly people who are unable to properly communicate their identity to third parties when going out alone, or for staff at nursing homes. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the footwear is configured as so-called sneakers, but this is not necessarily limited to such a configuration, and for example, it may be configured as other footwear such as leather shoes, or as slide fastener-type footwear that does not have an instep band or shoelaces. Furthermore, the shape and size of the notch that forms the information card storage section are not limited to those in this embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. The configuration of the information card storage section is not limited to that of this embodiment, and in the case of footwear with an instep strap, other configurations may be used, such as a configuration in which a bag-shaped storage section into which an information card can be inserted and removed is provided on the back side of the instep strap. However, in this case, it is desirable that the non-exposed area be configured so that third parties cannot easily grasp it during normal use, except in the event of a disaster. Furthermore, when an information card is stored on the front side of the tongue, other configurations may be used as long as the non-exposed area is configured so that third parties cannot easily grasp it during normal use, except in the event of a disaster. Furthermore, the content printed on the information card, the number and shape of the entry fields provided on the information card, and the content to be entered are not limited to those in this embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, the shape and size of the exposed area of ​​the information card are not limited to those of the present embodiment and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the exposed area may be shaped like an arrow. This configuration makes the information card even easier to pull out. The information card storage section may be provided in either one of the pair of left and right footwear, or in both. However, taking into consideration manufacturing costs, it is preferable to provide it in only one of the footwear. [Industrial Applicability]

[0040] According to the present invention, despite its simple structure, footwear used by people who are unable to properly communicate their identity to third parties, such as children or the elderly, can be given the ability to store and carry information that the wearer wishes to communicate to third parties or information that the wearer should know themselves.The present invention also has great industrial applicability, as it can be used as disaster prevention school shoes for children, particularly those in the lower grades of elementary school.
