Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to slippers, and more particularly to slippers that are excellent in cushioning and heat retention, and are particularly suitable for use in winter. [Background technology]

[0002] Needless to say, slippers are indoor footwear that have no laces and are worn by sliding your toes into them, and are made up of an upper and a sole. Slippers come in a wide variety of styles to suit the season, and people can choose their favorite design depending on the season. Winter slippers often use materials with excellent thermal insulation, such as boa fur, mouton, sheepskin, fleece, down, and wool, especially for the upper, to keep the feet warm. The soles are also made of materials with excellent thermal insulation and cushioning properties.

[0003] Conventionally, there have been many slippers on the market that have been designed to provide better heat retention by attaching a fleece sheet to the inside of the upper or by placing a thick insole in the bottom, but these conventional slippers do not necessarily provide sufficient heat retention and also have the problem of being uncomfortable and difficult to wear.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3147378 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] As mentioned above, many slippers on the market that aim to improve heat retention do not necessarily provide sufficient heat retention, and there are problems such as discomfort and difficulty when wearing them. Therefore, the objective of this invention is to provide slippers that provide sufficient heat retention, especially for use in winter, have a warm and luxurious appearance, and are extremely comfortable to wear. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The invention described in claim 1 to solve the above problem is: A slipper consisting of an upper and a bottom, The upper is made of a fur material and is configured by covering an instep with an aluminum sheet, The bottom of the slippers is characterized by a laminated structure in which a layer of EVA resin and low-resilience urethane is interposed between the top insole and the bottom microfiber fabric.

[0007] In one embodiment, the bottom has a laminated structure of, from top to bottom, an insole, EVA resin, low-resilience urethane, EVA resin, and microfiber fabric. Also, in one embodiment, a plurality of widthwise recesses are arranged on the upper of the upper. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the bottom has a platform heel. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The slippers of the present invention are as described above, and therefore provide sufficient heat retention, especially when used in winter, and have a warm and luxurious appearance, and are extremely comfortable to wear. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] 1 is a side view showing an example of the appearance of slippers according to the present invention. [Figure 2] 1 is a plan view showing an example of the appearance of slippers according to the present invention; [Figure 3]FIG. 3 is a simplified end view taken along line AA in FIG. 2. [Figure 4] 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the configuration of slippers according to the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a side view showing an example of the appearance of slippers according to the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof. As shown therein, the slippers are composed of an upper 1 and a sole 6, similar to ordinary slippers.

[0011] The upper 1 is formed by wrapping an upper 2 made of fluffy, soft fur material around an inner leather 3, usually made of low-resilience urethane and shaped to fit the upper, with an aluminum sheet 4 sandwiched between the upper 2 and inner leather 3 (see Figure 3).

[0012] In this invention, the upper 2 is made of fur material, which gives it a warm appearance and a luxurious feel. Fur can be animal fur itself or an artificial fur made to resemble it. Because real fur is expensive, artificial fur called "eco-fur," which looks almost identical to real fur, is often used these days. The fur material used in this invention is mainly eco-fur. This eco-fur is fluffy and warm, just like real fur, and is washable.

[0013] The fur material itself has a luxurious feel, but in this invention, in order to further improve the appearance and create an even more luxurious feel, it is preferable to arrange multiple recesses 5 across the width of the upper 2, so that the upper 2 appears to be divided into multiple sections. As mentioned above, the aluminum sheet 4 is enclosed in the upper 2 of the upper 1, and the heat-shielding effect of the aluminum sheet 4 prevents heat from escaping from the foot, thereby increasing the heat retention effect.

[0014] The bottom part 6 has a laminated structure with a layer of EVA resin and low-resilience urethane sandwiched between the top layer of insole 7 and the bottom layer of microfiber fabric 11. For example, the bottom part 6 is constructed by laminating, from top to bottom, the insole 7, EVA resin 9, low-resilience urethane 8, EVA resin 10, and microfiber fabric 11. The surface of the insole 7 is made of finely granular unevenness formed on the surface by shirring (a processing method in which the surface of the fabric is raised with a special machine to give it softness and texture), or pile fabric, which, together with the upper 2, ensures heat retention and contributes to creating a warm and luxurious appearance.

[0015] The EVA resins 9, 10 provide excellent cushioning to support the soles of the feet, maintaining comfort even during prolonged use. Furthermore, EVA resins 9, 10 are lightweight, elastic, and have excellent shock absorption, making them an ideal material for slippers. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, low-resilience urethane 8 is placed between the EVA resins 9, 10 to enhance cushioning. The low-resilience urethane 8 slowly sinks into the shape of the sole of the foot upon receiving tread pressure, evenly distributing the pressure and reducing strain on the feet. The microfiber fabric 11 is a highly functional fabric product made from ultrafine synthetic fibers, and is highly absorbent, quick-drying, and has excellent stain-removing capabilities.

[0016] By making the sole 6 a laminated structure of the above materials, cushioning and comfort can be improved, and the microfiber fabric 11 can be used to clean the floor when moving around indoors. Furthermore, by making the sole 6 a platform heel (thick from the toe to the heel), it is possible to further prevent the sole from getting cold, reduce shock, and reduce noise when walking.

[0017] The features of the slippers according to the present invention having the above configuration can be summarized as follows: (1) Since the aluminum sheet 4 is contained in the instep 2 of the upper 1, the heat-shielding effect of the aluminum sheet 4 prevents heat from escaping from the foot, thereby improving the heat retention effect. (2) The upper 2 is made of fur material, which gives it a warm and luxurious appearance. In addition, the upper 2 has a plurality of recesses 5 arranged across its width, which makes it look like the upper 2 is divided into a plurality of sections, which further improves the appearance and creates a more luxurious feel. (3) By making the bottom 6 a laminated structure of an insole 7, EVA resin 9, low-resilience urethane 8, EVA resin 10, and microfiber fabric 11, cushioning and comfort can be improved, and the microfiber fabric 11 can be used to clean the floor when moving around indoors. (4) By making the sole 6 a platform heel, it is possible to further prevent the bottom from getting cold, reduce shock and reduce noise when walking. [Industrial Applicability]

[0018] The slippers of the present invention are as described above, and have the effect of providing sufficient heat retention, especially when used in winter, having a warm and luxurious appearance, and being extremely comfortable to wear, so they have great industrial applicability.
