Sole System

Abstract

In the past, when the pedals or soles of your shoes got wet, especially in the rain, your soles would slip when you started to pedal, or in the dark it was difficult to confirm the exact position of the pedals, making it difficult to press down on the pedals properly. It was also often impossible to start pedaling when the soles of your shoes (soles of your feet) were in the correct position relative to the pedals. [Solution] A removable magnet is attached to the sole of a shoe and a magnet is also attached to the pedal of a bicycle, and when the bicycle is started to be pedaled from a standby state such as waiting at a traffic light, the pedal and the sole of a shoe are quickly and accurately positioned and fixed.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention proposes a technology that attaches a removable magnet (permanent magnet) to the sole of a shoe and also attaches magnets to the bicycle pedals, allowing the positioning of the shoe sole relative to the pedals to be determined quickly and accurately and fixed when starting to pedal the bicycle from a waiting state such as waiting at a traffic light. [Background technology]

[0002] In the past, when the pedals or soles of your shoes got wet, especially in the rain, your soles would slip when you started to pedal, or in the dark it was difficult to confirm the exact position of the pedals, making it difficult to pedal properly, and you often couldn't start to pedal when your soles were in the right position relative to the pedals.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2004-231136 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] To enable a rider to start pedaling safely without slipping when starting to pedal a bicycle even if the pedals or soles are wet due to rain or the like, and to quickly fix the pedals and soles in proper positions. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A removable magnet is attached to the sole of a shoe and a magnet is also attached to the pedal of a bicycle, and when starting to pedal the bicycle from a standby state such as waiting at a traffic light, the pedal and the sole of a shoe are quickly and accurately positioned and fixed without having to check with one's eyes each time. Effect of the Invention

[0006] To provide a bicycle pedaling method according to the present invention, in which the sole of a shoe does not slip on the pedal when starting to pedal, and even if the sole of a shoe approaches the pedal in the dark and cannot be seen, the sole of a shoe is quickly fixed in the most suitable position (the position that is least tiring) for the person, allowing the user to pedal a bicycle safely, with a good fit, and without getting tired.

[0008] A removable magnet is attached to the sole of a shoe and a magnet is also attached to the pedal of a bicycle, and when the bicycle is started to be pedaled from a standby state such as waiting at a traffic light, the pedal and the sole of a shoe are quickly and accurately positioned and fixed.

[0009] Figure 1 shows an overview of the magnet-equipped bicycle pedal and shoe sole system. South and north pole magnets are attached to the front and back of the bicycle pedal (the order can be either way, but the pattern should be the same on the front and back). In addition, multiple magnet mounting boxes are set up on the shoe sole so that plate-shaped magnets can be attached. The magnet mounting box has a structure similar to that of a typical battery box, and the plate-shaped magnet is attached by pressing it into the spring side. When removing the plate-shaped magnet, a thin rod is inserted into the space (gap) opposite the spring, and the plate-shaped magnet can be removed by pushing the thin rod toward the spring and removing it. By changing the front and back of the plate-shaped magnet relative to the S and N poles of the magnet attached to the pedal, i.e., by changing the polarity of the S and N poles, and by selecting where in the multiple magnet mounting boxes on the sole the plate-shaped magnet is attached, multiple positions of the sole to be fixed to the bicycle pedal can be selected. Furthermore, the bicycle pedal and shoe sole of the present invention can also be applied to binding pedals and binding shoes, and just like with a binding system, the pedal will follow the movement of lifting your foot due to magnetic force, allowing you to pedal the bicycle more efficiently. Note: Generally speaking, when you press down on the pedals with the balls of your feet, your calf muscles are engaged, allowing you to pedal with less force and cover a longer distance. Furthermore, by utilizing the multiple magnet mounting boxes on the sole, it is possible to mount fashionable thick-soled shoes or high clogs, in which case the magnets may be attached via the plate-shaped magnet or directly to the multiple magnet mounting boxes. In addition, the two magnet-equipped boxes can be standardized (size and spacing), making it possible to provide sheets for indoor shoes (instead of slippers) and to sell or rent out muddy sole-raising units for use in the event of sudden heavy rain. Figure 2 suggests the creation of a new culture through this invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0010] To provide a bicycle pedaling method according to the present invention, in which the sole of a shoe does not slip on the pedal when starting to pedal, and even if the sole of a shoe approaches the pedal in the dark and cannot be seen, the sole of a shoe is quickly fixed in the most suitable position (the position that is least tiring) for the person, allowing the user to pedal a bicycle safely, with a good fit, and without getting tired.

Claims

[Claim 1] This sole system has magnets with south and north poles attached to the front and back of a bicycle pedal, and multiple magnet mounting boxes are set in the sole, allowing plate-shaped magnets to be attached.By changing the front and back of the plate-shaped magnet for the south and north poles of the magnet attached to the pedal, i.e., by changing the polarity of the south and north poles, and by selecting where in the multiple magnet mounting boxes on the sole the plate-shaped magnet is attached, it is possible to select multiple positions for fixing the sole to the bicycle pedal.
