Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a shoe, and more particularly to a shoe that can prevent a tongue from slipping into the shoe without releasing the tongue. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, there are conventional shoes that prevent a tongue from slipping into the inside of the shoe (see Patent Document 1). This shoe has a tongue (4) disposed on the upper surface of a cutout (2) formed in the front of the shoe body, covering said cutout (2). A pressure-bonded flat fastener (5) is attached to the underside of a band (3) extending from one shoe side (11) to the other shoe side (11') by sandwiching the tongue (4). A fixed flat fastener (3) that corresponds to and forms a pair with this pressure-bonded flat fastener (5) is attached to the other shoe cover (11'). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Registered Utility Model No. 3033984 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the above shoe, when the crimped surface fastener of the band is removed from the fixed surface fastener on the shod side and the band is released from the shod cover, the tongue is completely released from the front notch of the shod cover, and when the crimped surface fastener of the band is engaged with the surface fastener on the shod side and the band is attached to the shod cover, the tongue completely covers the front notch of the shod cover. Therefore, the tongue must be opened every time the shoes are put on, which makes putting on the shoes troublesome.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a shoe that has been made in consideration of the above problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] Claim 1 The shoe described herein is a shoe having a sole, an upper part having an opening for inserting a user's foot and disposed on the sole, the shoe having a pair of wings defining a part of the outer periphery of the opening, and a tongue-like part closing a part of the area between the pair of wings, The tongue-shaped portion has an elastic member having a convex shape on the upper side and a covering member which covers the elastic member, the elastic member being harder than the covering member, the height of the convex shape of the elastic member at the end portion close to the opening being higher than the height of the convex shape of the elastic member at the end portion farther from the opening, the tongue-shaped portion and the elastic member being connected to the wing portion or the upper portion, the tongue-shaped portion secures the opening when the shoe is not in use, and the strength of the elastic force of the elastic member contained in the tongue-shaped portion is such that the tongue-shaped portion is pressed toward the insole of the shoe. When the tongue-shaped portion is pressed against the insole of the shoe, it moves toward the insole of the shoe, and when the pushing action is released, the elastic member causes the tongue-shaped portion to return to its original position. The thickness T1 of the elastic member on the side closer to the opening is greater than the thickness T2 of the elastic member on the side farther from the opening, and the portion of the elastic member with thickness T2 is connected to the wing portion, the thickness of the elastic member changes discontinuously between the side closer to the opening and the side farther from the opening, and the elastic member is connected to the wing portion at the portion with smaller thickness on the side farther from the opening.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] A shoe according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings (FIGS. 1 to 13). S shown in Figures 1 to 3, 12 and 13 is a shoe, and the shoe S has a sole 1 and an upper part 2 that is placed on the sole 1 and has an opening 2A for inserting the user's foot. In FIG. 1, 3, 3 denotes a pair of wings that define part of the outer periphery of the opening 2A, 4 denotes a tongue that closes part of the area between the pair of wings 3, 3, and 5 denotes an upwardly convex elastic member contained within the tongue 4. The elastic member 5 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin, more specifically, TPU.

[0018] The tongue portion 4 and the elastic member 5 are connected to the wing portions 3, 3 by, for example, sewing with thread. X shown in Fig. 1 is a sewing portion. Therefore, when the shoe S is taken off, the tongue 4 returns to its original position due to the elastic member 5 (FIG. 13). Shoes The opening 2A is returned to its original position to make it easier to put on, and the elastic member 5 in the tongue 4 is It also prevents the tongue 4 from slipping into the shoe S when the shoe S is put on, It can be made easier to wear. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, two sewing portions X are provided on the left and right sides. The manufacturing site X may be one. Furthermore, while the tongue portion 4 and the elastic member 5 are connected to the wing portions 3, 3, the present invention is not limited to this, and the tongue portion 4 and the elastic member 5 may be connected to the upper portion 2.

[0019] When the shoe S is not being used, the tongue-shaped portion 4 secures the opening 2A with the elastic member 5 as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 13. The tongue 4 and the elastic member 5 connected to the wings 3, 3 or the upper 2 are in a predetermined position when the shoe S is not in use, securing the opening 2A and making it easy to put on. The strength of the elastic force of the elastic member 5 contained within the tongue-shaped portion 4 is such that, when the tongue-shaped portion 4 is pressed toward the insole 6 of the shoe S, the tongue-shaped portion 4 moves toward the insole 6 of the shoe S (see Figure 12), and when the pushing action is released, the elastic member 5 returns the tongue-shaped portion 4 to its original position (Figures 1 and 13).

[0020] Therefore, according to the above-described shoe S, the upwardly convex elastic member 5 inherent in the tongue portion 4 makes the tongue portion 4 of the opening edge 2A convex. When putting on the shoe S, it prevents the tongue portion 4 from slipping into the interior of the shoe S by the instep, making it easier to put on the shoe.

[0021] Also, since the tongue portion 4 and the elastic member 5 are connected to the blade portions 3, 3 or the upper portion 2, when taking off the shoe S, the tongue portion 4 returns to its original position by the elastic member 5, Shoes returns the position of the opening edge 2A to its original position to make it easier to put on, and also prevents the movement of the elastic member 5 within the tongue portion 4. When putting on the shoe S, it prevents the tongue portion 4 from slipping into the interior of the shoe S by the instep, making it easier to put on the shoe.

[0022] Also, since the elastic member 5 is harder than the covering member (the outer member of the tongue portion 4) 41 of the tongue portion 4 that covers the elastic member 5, it makes the tongue portion 4 of the opening edge 2A harder in a convex shape. When putting on the shoe S, it further prevents the tongue portion 4 from slipping into the interior of the shoe S by the instep, making it easier to put on the shoe.

[0023] Also, as shown in FIG. 3, the thickness T1 of the elastic member 5 on the side closer to the opening edge 2A is made larger than the thickness T2 (T2 < T1) of the elastic member 5 on the side farther from the opening edge 2A, and the elastic member 5 is connected to the blade portion 2A or the upper portion 2. Therefore, by a simple means, the elastic force of the elastic member 5 can be strengthened, and when putting on the shoe S, it further prevents the tongue portion 4 from slipping into the interior of the shoe S by the instep, making it easier to put on the shoe.

[0024] Also, as described above, the tongue portion 4 and the elastic member 5 are connected to the blade portion 3 or the upper portion 2. When the shoe S is not in use, the tongue portion 4 secures the opening edge 2A. The strength of the elastic force of the elastic member 5 inherent in the tongue portion 4 is such that when the tongue portion 4 is pushed toward the insole 6 of the shoe S, the tongue portion 4 moves toward the insole 6 of the shoe S (see FIG. 12), and when the pushing action is released, the tongue portion 4 returns to its original position by the elastic member 5. Therefore, due to the tongue-like portion 4 and elastic member 5 connected to the wing portion 3 or the upper portion 2, the tongue-like portion 4 remains in a predetermined position when the shoe S is not in use (Figures 1, 2, 3, 13), securing the opening 2A and making it easier to put on the shoe, and also preventing the tongue-like portion 4 from slipping inside the shoe S with the instep when putting on the shoe S, making it easier to put on the shoe.
