Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a shoebox. [Background technology]

[0002] Foot size is important when choosing shoes. Wearing shoes that do not fit your feet makes it difficult to walk, and can cause various problems, such as foot pain and deformation. Therefore, it is important to measure your foot size. However, it is troublesome to prepare measuring tools such as rulers and tape measures and carry out various measurement procedures to measure foot size. In light of this situation, shoe boxes are now being provided with scales to measure foot size. The following Patent Document 1 discloses such a shoebox that displays a scale for measuring foot size. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 60-154007 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The shoebox disclosed in Patent Document 1 above uses a lid 11 of the shoebox and displays a foot length scale 31 for measuring foot length on the backside of the lid 11. It also discloses a configuration in which a scale for measuring foot width is displayed on the lid. As for the method of measuring the foot length, etc., a simple method is disclosed that utilizes the vertical side wall of the lid body 11 and the foot length scale 31, etc. In Patent Document 1, the side wall of the sturdy lid 11 is used to determine the position to place the feet, which has the advantage of making it easy to measure the "foot length" accurately. On the other hand, the "foot circumference" cannot be measured properly using a foot box such as that disclosed in Patent Document 1. This is because shoe boxes need to be sturdy to protect the shoes stored inside, and are made of paper that does not bend easily, such as cardboard. Therefore, foot circumference, which needs to be measured three-dimensionally by bending the box around the foot, cannot be measured on a hard paper like a shoe box. That is, conventional shoe boxes that use a part of the shoe box itself to measure "foot length" and "foot width" have the problem that they can measure foot length and foot width but cannot measure foot circumference.

[0005] Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a shoe box that overcomes the drawbacks of the conventional shoe boxes and displays not only foot length and width but also foot circumference scales, making it easy to measure foot circumference. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To solve the above problems, the shoe box of the present invention is a shoe box that has a shoe wrapping paper for wrapping shoes placed inside the box body in addition to the box body, and its first feature is that the shoe wrapping paper has foot circumference scales for measuring foot circumference. In addition to the first feature, the shoe box of this invention has a second feature in that the shoe wrapping paper displays a foot circumference scale as well as a foot circumference measurement instruction manual and a foot circumference measurement illustration that explain how to measure the foot circumference. In addition to the second feature, the shoe box of the present invention has a third feature in that the inside bottom surface of the box body is provided with a foot length scale for measuring foot length, a foot length measurement instruction and foot length measurement diagram that explain how to measure foot length, a foot width scale for measuring foot width, a foot width measurement instruction and foot width measurement diagram that explain how to measure foot width. In addition to any of the first to third features, the shoe box of the present invention has a fourth feature in that the inside top surface of the box body displays a JIS standard foot size chart along with an explanation of how to read the chart. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the shoe box of claim 1, in addition to the box body, a shoe wrapping paper for wrapping shoes is arranged inside the box body, and the shoe wrapping paper has a foot circumference scale for measuring the foot circumference. The shoe wrapping paper, which is sufficiently softer than the box body and has a larger unfolded size, and the foot circumference scale displayed on it, make it possible to easily measure the foot circumference.

[0008] Furthermore, according to the shoe box described in claim 2, in addition to the advantageous effects of the configuration described in claim 1, the shoe wrapping paper displays the foot circumference scale, as well as a foot circumference measurement explanation and foot circumference measurement illustration that explain how to measure the foot circumference. Even children and beginners can easily measure their foot circumference by referring to the displayed foot circumference measurement instructions and foot circumference measurement illustration.

[0009] Furthermore, according to the shoe box described in claim 3, in addition to the advantageous effects of the configuration described in claim 2, the inner bottom surface of the box body is provided with a foot length scale for measuring foot length, a foot length measurement explanation and foot length measurement illustration that explain how to measure foot length, a foot width scale for measuring foot width, a foot width measurement explanation and foot width measurement illustration that explain how to measure foot width, Measurement of foot length and foot width, which are important as well as foot circumference, can be performed reliably using the box body, which is difficult to lose its shape.

[0010] Furthermore, according to the shoe box described in claim 4, in addition to the advantageous effects of the configurations described in any one of claims 1 to 3, the inside of the top part of the box body displays a JIS foot size standard chart and a guide on how to read the standard chart, The foot length, foot circumference, and foot width measured using the shoe box can be easily compared with the foot size standard table displayed on the inside of the top part, so that the characteristics of one's own feet can be easily known and can be used as a reference when purchasing shoes.

[Figure 5] This is a 40% scale drawing of the actual shoe wrapping paper. [Figure 6] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the markings on the inner surface of the top part of the box body. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] 1 to 6, the shoe box is made up of a box body 10 and shoe wrapping paper 20. As shown in FIG. When closed, the box body 10 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape (see Figure 1), and by opening the top part 10b, shoes (not shown) stored on the bottom part 10a inside the box body 10 can be taken out. The shoe wrapping paper 20 is paper for wrapping shoes, and is arranged in a state of wrapping the shoes stored in the storage space of the box body 10 from all sides. The shoe wrapping paper 20 can be made of thin paper, particularly pure white rolled paper on which figures and explanatory text can be written.

[0013] The shoe wrapping paper 20 is a rectangular, soft paper used to wrap shoes. The length and width of the paper are at least larger than the planar length and width of the box body 10, and can be, for example, slightly larger than an A3 sheet of paper. Of course, the size of the shoe wrapping paper 20 can be changed depending on the size of the shoe box and the shoes to be stored therein. The shoe wrapping paper 20 is provided with a foot circumference display section 21. This foot circumference display section 21 can be provided horizontally along one or both of the longitudinal sides of the shoe wrapping paper 20. In this embodiment, the foot circumference display section 21 is arranged along both of the longitudinal sides of the shoe wrapping paper 20, with the same content displayed in text in opposite directions. Of course, the shoe wrapping paper 20 can also be provided with a different display section in addition to the foot circumference display section 21.

[0014] The foot circumference display section 21 of the shoe wrapper 20 displays a foot circumference scale 21a, foot circumference measurement instructions 21b, and a foot circumference measurement illustration 21c. The foot circumference scale 21a is displayed in actual size on the shoe wrapper 20. In this embodiment, the scale is omitted for the 0-10 cm and 30 cm or larger ranges, and instead displays the range from 10 cm to 30 cm in millimeters. This is because there are very few cases where the foot circumference is less than 10 cm or 30 cm or larger. Of course, the range displayed in millimeters can be changed depending on whether the subject is a child or an adult, etc.

[0015] The foot circumference measurement instruction 21b is an instruction explaining how to measure the foot circumference using this shoe wrapping paper 20. The foot circumference measurement explanatory diagram 21c is an explanatory diagram for explaining the foot circumference measurement method using the shoe wrapper 20 in conjunction with the foot circumference measurement explanatory text 21b. 4 and 5 show a footprint A that shows an example of where to place your foot, a footprint B that shows an example of which part of the foot to measure around, and an arrow C that indicates the starting point of measurement.

[0016] The actual measurement of the foot circumference can be carried out, for example, as follows. First, place the foot to be measured on the footprint A shown on the shoe wrapper 20. Next, wrap the shoe wrapper 20 around the foot from the side with the arrow C indicating the measurement starting point, so that the arrow C indicating the measurement starting point is positioned on the instep of the foot. Next, wrap the shoe wrapper 20 around the foot from the side opposite to the arrow C indicating the measurement starting point, and read the scale value at the point where the foot circumference scale 21a overlaps with the arrow C. The scale value at the point where it overlaps with the arrow C indicating the measurement starting point is the foot circumference.

[0017] A foot length display section 11 and a foot width display section 12 are provided on the inner surface of the bottom section 10a of the box-shaped main body 10. The foot length display section 11 displays a foot length scale 11a for measuring foot length, a foot length measurement instruction 11b for explaining how to measure foot length, and a foot length measurement instruction diagram 11c. 3, the foot length scale 11a is displayed in a range of 15 cm to 23 cm, but this is mainly for children. Of course, the foot length scale 11a can be displayed in a different range depending on the target person.

[0018] The foot width display section 12 displays a foot width scale 12a for measuring the foot width, a foot width measurement explanation 12b explaining how to measure the foot width, and a foot width measurement explanation diagram 12c. 3, the foot width scale 12a is displayed in a range of 5 cm to 10 cm, but this is a scale mainly for children. Of course, the foot width scale 12a can be displayed in a different range depending on the target person.

[0019] The actual measurement of foot length can be performed as follows. First, referring to the foot shape shown in the foot length measurement explanatory diagram 11c and the foot length measurement explanatory text 11b, insert the foot to be measured into the internal space of the box body 10 so that the heel and side of the foot are in contact with the perpendicular inner wall of the box body 10. Next, using the foot length scale 11a, the value of the foot length scale 11a where the tip of the foot is located is read. The read value is the foot length value of that foot. In this embodiment, the foot length value is read as approximately 17.0 cm.

[0020] The actual measurement of foot width can be done as follows. First, referring to the instructions in foot width measurement instructions 12b and foot length measurement instructions 12c, insert the foot to be measured into the internal space of the box body 10 so that the heel and side of the foot are in contact with the perpendicular inner wall of the box body 10. Next, using the foot width scale 12a, the value of the foot width scale 12a where the outermost part of the foot is located in the width direction is read. The value read is the foot width value for that foot.

[0021] A foot size standard display section 13 and a foot size measurement record display section 14 are displayed on the inner surface of the top section 10b of the box body 10. The foot size standard display section 13 displays a JIS foot size standard table 13a and also displays a standard table reading explanation 13b that explains how to read the foot size standard table. The foot size measurement record display section 14 has columns for recording the name of the person being measured, the date of measurement, age, length, width and circumference of each foot.

[0022] In this embodiment, the foot size standard table 13a displays standard values ​​for children's foot sizes that indicate the relationship between foot length, foot circumference, and foot width, as well as foot size trends such as narrow (C, D), normal (1E, 2E), wide (3E, 4E), etc., determined from the relationship between these values. The person measuring can find out the tendency of his / her own foot size by referring to the explanation 13b on how to read the standard table and applying the measured foot length, foot width, foot circumference, etc. to the foot size standard table 13a.

[0023] To actually use the standard table, for example, first use the box body 10 to measure your own foot length and foot width. Next, use the shoe wrapper 20 to measure your own foot circumference. Next, using the measured foot length and foot circumference and the foot size standard table 13a, a section of the foot size standard table 13a that corresponds to the combination of foot length and foot circumference is searched for. Next, compare the foot width written in advance in the section you found with the foot width you measured. If your measured foot width is wider than the written width, you can determine that your foot has a "wider foot width (lower instep)." On the other hand, if it is narrower, you can determine that your foot has a "higher instep (narrower instep)." [Industrial Applicability]
