Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a footwear inversion tool that can invert discarded footwear 180 degrees to make it easier to put on the next time. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, when taking off shoes at the entrance or elsewhere and stepping onto the floor, if you do so in the same position, your shoes will be left where they are. Therefore, people often turn their shoes over by hand to align them, or they can achieve this by standing up backwards. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and aims to provide a footwear turn-around tool that allows you to always arrange your footwear in a comfortable state without troubling your hands or body. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The footwear turning device of the present invention is characterized by comprising a first rod-shaped member extending in a first direction, a pair of second rod-shaped members extending from one end of the first rod-shaped member in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and wide members respectively provided at the tips of the pair of second rod-shaped members. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] With the footwear turning device of the present invention, the wide members attached to the tips of the pair of second rod-shaped members are inserted into the inside of the left and right footwear, the first rod-shaped member is lifted slightly, turned 180 degrees, and lowered, and the footwear can be arranged in a comfortable position for putting on. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] 1 is a side view of a footwear inversion device according to the present invention; [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a top view of the footwear inversion device of FIG. 1. [Figure 3] 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the wide portion of the footwear inversion tool of FIG. 1 is inserted inside the footwear. FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the state in which the footwear inverting device is slightly lifted, rotated 180 degrees, and then lowered in the state shown in FIG. 3.

[0007] The construction of the footwear inversion device of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. A handle 1 is attached to one end of a first rod-shaped member 2, and a base 3 is attached to the other end. The first rod-shaped member 2 extends vertically (first direction) from the base 3, and a pair of second rod-shaped members 4 extend a predetermined length horizontally (a direction intersecting the first direction) from the base 3 attached to one end of the first rod-shaped member 2. A wide member 5 is attached to the tip of each of the second rod-shaped members 4. Figures 3 and 4 show an example of how the footwear inversion tool of the present invention can be used with footwear (such as slippers). First, as shown in Figure 3, insert the pair of wide sections 5 into the inside of the left and right footwear. Then, by grasping the handle 1 and lifting it slightly, the footwear 6 is lifted by the support of the wide sections 5, rotated 180 degrees, and lowered, as shown in Figure 4, so that the footwear is aligned in an inverted state.
