Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Although Patent Documents 1 and 2 are in a bag shape, when the shoes are worn inside the long boots, there is no room for size adjustment, and there are problems with the freedom of length due to the design of the shoe sole and the fixing method of the long boots with the shoes inserted.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] These lightweight, portable boots can be worn over short boots 10. They consist of a cylindrical bag-shaped body 1 and a sole 7 that extends from the toe to the heel cover 6 located at the rear, which is longer than the short boots 10 and covers the bottom of the body 1. The sole 7 can be folded upwards to wrap around and secure the toe of the short boots 10. The body 1 has a lacing section with holes for fastening laces 9. The upper part of the body 1 has two upper lacing sections 2, one at the front and one at the back, and the lower part has one lower lacing section 3 at the rear. The short boots 10 have two side lacing sections 5 on both sides near the arch of the foot, and the sole 7 has one front lacing section 4 at the center of the tip. Furthermore, the bottom surface of the sole 7 is fitted with a bumpy anti-slip surface 8 to enhance the anti-slip effect, thereby supporting more stable walking. Furthermore, the heel cover 6 is formed to protrude upward from the sole 7 so that it more firmly and securely covers the heel when the low-cut shoe 10 is worn. Furthermore, the shoe features a structure that more accurately and securely fastens the toe of the shoe 10 by providing side lace-up sections 4a and 4b at symmetrical positions on the toe side of the sole 7. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] This invention provides a simple structure for dealing with unusual weather conditions. While its durability is inferior to that of ordinary rubber boots, the cylindrical, bag-shaped, lightweight, portable boot body 1 and the long sole 7 allow it to be worn even while wearing low-cut shoes 10. By addressing the issues of slip resistance in rain and snow and overcoming the drawbacks of portability, it has become possible to carry it in clothing pockets or shoulder bags. It can respond quickly to emergencies such as sewage, muddy water, snow, heavy rain, and earthquakes, and ensures safety and hygiene. It allows for instantaneous response to infectious disease outbreaks and can also provide protection against infections caused by pathogens. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 2] This is a side view of the body 1 and sole 7 of a lightweight, portable rubber boot in the shape of a cylindrical bag. [Figure 3] This is a diagram of the underside of the long sole 7 of a lightweight, portable rubber boot. [Figure 4] This is a side view showing a lightweight, portable rubber boot in a cylindrical bag shape, with a low-cut shoe 10 worn and the foot inserted inside. [Figure 5] This is a side view showing the sole 7 of a lightweight, portable rubber boot, which is shaped like a cylindrical bag, folded and wrapped around the upper toe of a low-cut shoe 10. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] <Figures 4, 5, and 1 will be used to explain the state of wearing the low-cut shoes 10 in sequence.> Figure 4 shows the short boot 10 in close contact with the heel cover 6, with the upper 1 and sole 7 being longer than the toe of the short boot 10, and having enough length to securely fix the toe portion. Figure 5 shows the longer shape, with the upper 1 and sole 7 securely fixed to the upper part of the toe of the short boot 10. The state of the fastening lace 9, which is not shown in Figure 5, is shown in Figure 1. The process begins with securing the low-cut shoe 10. The fastening laces 9 are passed through the lower lace-up section 3, the lace-up sections on both sides 5, and the front lace-up section 4, crossing over each other. The fastening laces 9 are then pulled tight through the holes in the side lace-up sections 4a and 4b, securing the toe of the low-cut shoe 10. After securing the laces, they are passed from the rear inside of the lace-up sections 5 on both sides, crossed over the lower lace-up section 3, and then moved to the front of the ankle and tied to secure it, completing the secure fastening of the low-cut shoe 10. Next, move to the top and thread the stopper string 9 through the string hole on the right rear of the upper string hole section 2 to a symmetrical length. After crossing and inserting it into the string hole on the left front of the upper string hole section 2, pull the stopper string 9 tight to adjust it to the length of the calf. Then, pull up the longer part of the torso 1 and adjust it, tie it in the front, and the upper string hole section 2 is secured, completing the process as shown in Figure 1, which ensures a bulge with some room around the calf.

[0009] <Explanation of the installation positions and the number of installation locations of the body 1 and the sole 7 using FIGS. 2 and 3> Five string-passing parts attached to the body 1 are installed. The upper string-passing part 2 is at two locations on the upper left and right. The lower string-passing part 3 is at one location on the lower right. The two side string-passing parts 5 are at two locations on the left and right. The heel cover 6 is connected to the sole 7 at one location on the lower rear right. There are three string-passing parts and a sole with a concave-convex shape on the lateral surface and the bottom surface of the sole 7 which is long in shape. The front central string-passing part 4 is at one location in the front central part. There are two side string-passing parts 4a and 4b on the front side surface. An anti-slip part 8 with a concave-convex shape is arranged on the entire lower part of the sole 7.

[0010] <Manufacturing method> The body 1 of the lightweight portable long boots in a cylindrical bag shape and the sole 7 are integrally molded. It is necessary to increase the strength of the front string-passing part 4, the side string-passing parts 4a and 4b, and the two side string-passing parts 5 by the fixing string 9 as shown by the act of tightening and fixing the upper part of the toe of the short boots 10 in close contact. The thickness of the body 1 is set to be about 0.03 mm to 0.5 mm, slightly thicker than the thickness of a shopping bag or the like, and the combined thickness of the sole 7 and the anti-slip part 8 is set to be about 2 mm to 5 mm, but the thickness is flexibly selected such as increasing the thickness according to the bending condition of the toe of the short boots 10 and the situation during folding. The thickness of the body 1 at the connection part between the body 1 and the sole 7 gradually increases towards the sole 7. Thereby, when the lightweight portable long boots are kneaded and distorted, it is better for the thickness to gradually increase rather than changing suddenly, so as to absorb and disperse the impact and avoid damage to the connection part between the sole 7 and the body 1. The heel cover 6 of the sole 7 is raised higher than the surface of the sole 7 so as to wrap the heel of the short boots 10 It is necessary to thicken the material simultaneously for raising it upward and increasing the strength. When folded, it should be made into a shape and length such that the part of the heel cover 6 does not become high and no protrusion remains. It has the same thickness as the sole 7 of the shoe, and is thick enough to prevent the heel from shifting left, right, front or back. It can be made thicker for better anti-shift effect. The anti-slip member 8 serves to minimize the damage caused by slipping or falling in rain, snow, etc. When the anti-slip member 8 wraps around the upper part of the ankle boots 10, it has a structure that takes into account the shape that can wrap around the toe part without resistance. The anti-slip member 8 is selected from a variety of concave and convex shapes such as honeycomb, wavy string, diamond, radial, and protruding. Considering the non-slip structure and function, the thickness of the anti-slip member 8 is flexibly studied in connection with the sole 7, taking into account the slip resistance and pressure contact resistance against muddy water, snow and rain. The lightweight portable long boots have soles with appropriate thickness. The material combines light weight, flexibility, low breakage such as tearing, ease of integral molding, and selection of materials with low defective product generation rate. Materials such as polyester, polystyrene, nylon, etc. are used for selection of materials suitable for the intended use.

[0011] The fastening string 9 can be a flat string or a round string as long as it is a commonly used string. The length of the fastening string 9 is cut to the required length based on the average value graph of age-specific measurement tables of the ankle and calf, and the foot and height. Consider various methods such as changing the color of the fastening string 9 so that the difference in the lengths of the upper string passage part 2 and the lower string passage part 3 can be clearly discriminated.

[0012] 〈Fastening string passing procedure〉 Wearing lightweight portable long boots in the shape of a cylindrical bag, there are through holes for passing the fastening string 9 horizontally at 8 locations on the surfaces of the body 1 and the sole 7. As shown in Figure 1, the fastening laces 9 are made to be symmetrical in length from the lower lace-up section 3 of the lightweight portable boots, and are threaded through the holes in the side lace-up sections 5, the front lace-up section 4, and the side lace-up sections 4a and 4b. The boots 10 are then put on as shown in Figure 4, and after the heel cover 6 is in close contact with the boots, the fastening laces 9 are pulled tight and wrapped around the top of the toe of the boots 10 as shown in Figure 5. The fastening laces 9 are then inserted from the top between the side lace-up sections 5 and the lower lace-up section 3, crossed over the lower lace-up section 3, and then moved to the front of the ankle as shown in Figure 1 and tied to complete the boots 10. The method for eliminating the constricting pressure on the ankle is explained starting from the part where the fastening lace 9 is pulled and moved to the back. After inserting the lower laces through the crossed holes, moving the lower laces through the holes to the rear and crossing them again will result in a state equivalent to tying the lower laces through the holes. Moving the stopper laces 9 to the front of the ankle and tying them without tightening them too much will reduce the pressure on the ankle and make them easier to wear. Next, thread the fastening cord 9 through the rear of the upper cord loop 2, make it the same length on both sides, insert it into the front cord loop 2, tie it lightly, pull up the excess length of the torso 1, adjust the height between the knee and calf, and tie it without making it too tight, taking into account the extra space around the calf, to achieve the state shown in Figure 1.

[0013] <The need to make it easy to carry and compact> It has a simple structure designed to cope with unusual weather conditions, and its durability is inferior to that of ordinary rubber boots, but the upper 1 and sole 7 are highly flexible, allowing it to be folded into a small, neat size. The shoe is handed to the user in a folded state so as not to protrude from the long sole 7. The structure and materials are selected to be resistant to damage, taking into account actions such as crushing the sole 7 from above the upper 1 after putting on the shoe and wrapping the sole 7 around without folding it. A structure and materials that can withstand rough use may be considered, using a body 1 and a sole 7 made of a material that is both strong and flexible. Its compact, foldable design, which allows it to be stored in a small size and placed in a clothing pocket, is advantageous for use during disasters, demonstrating its necessity during emergency response.

[0014] For lightweight, portable rubber boots in a cylindrical bag shape, the number of parts would be two pairs of lightweight, portable rubber boots (left and right) and four sets of fastening straps of different lengths for each side, totaling six parts. It would be advisable to consider using a compact, foldable storage bag with a handle for easy carrying. [Industrial applicability]

[0015] Lightweight, portable rubber boots can be manufactured using molds that do not require distinction between left and right feet.

[0016] It is also an important part of industrial activity to explain to public institutions that the product can be used to ensure the safety and health of residents during emergencies and disasters, as well as to prevent the spread of viruses and other infectious diseases caused by pathogens, and to engage in public activities such as obtaining approval as an infection prevention and damage control product, and to lobby public institutions to include it in emergency disaster supplies.
