AI Technical Summary
Conventional shoes with tongues often experience the tongue shifting laterally during activities due to insufficient stabilization, despite adjustable lacing systems, which compromises comfort and fit.
The integration of multiple support holes along the tongue's upper surface allows for additional shoelace passage and fixation, using a support band to secure the tongue in place while adjusting shoe size, preventing lateral movement.
This configuration ensures a stable tongue position during use, enhancing comfort and fit by maintaining the tongue's alignment and preventing it from being pushed to one side, while allowing for customizable shoe size adjustments.

Abstract
Description
Shoes with fixed sulpho
[0001] The present invention relates to shoes, and more particularly to shoes capable of fixing a suede while adjusting the shoe size.
[0002] Shoes must securely hug the foot, so the opening is typically smaller than the foot. These shoes often feature a lace-up area at the instep, making them easier to put on and take off. After putting on the shoes, the laces can be tightened to adjust the shoe's size to fit the wearer's foot perfectly.
[0003] Here, shoes designed to allow laces to be tied, as described above, have a tongue. The tongue is formed at the point where the laces are tied and serves to protect the instep. However, when wearing shoes and engaging in activities, the tongue can sometimes slide to the left or right. To prevent this, a structure is provided at the center of the upper surface of the tongue to allow laces to pass through. However, this structure alone is insufficient to prevent the tongue from rotating.
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to propose a shoe that can firmly fix the position of the sulfur while adjusting the shoe size according to the wearer's foot size.
[0005] The present invention proposes a shoe in which a shoelace is fixed, in which a plurality of support holes are formed transversely along the upper surface of the shoelace, and a shoelace is passed through a shoelace hole formed in the shoe through any two of the support holes and tied, thereby fixing the shoelace while adjusting the gap, thereby achieving the above-described purpose.
[0006] According to the present invention, the position of the shoelaces can be adjusted to fit the size of the wearer's foot while the sulfur can be tied to secure the position, thereby firmly fixing the sulfur while adjusting the shoe size.
[0007] Figure 1 is an example of a shoe formed with a sulfur according to the present invention.
[0008] Figure 2 is an example of a support belt according to the present invention.
[0009] Figure 3 is a front view showing a partial cross-section of a support belt according to the present invention;
[0010] Figure 4 is an exemplary diagram showing a state in which the sulfur according to the present invention is fixed with a shoelace.
[0011] Figure 5 is an exemplary diagram showing a configuration in which the sulfur according to the present invention is dried upward.
[0012] The present invention proposes a shoe in which a plurality of support holes are formed transversely along the upper surface of a shoe, and a shoelace is passed through a lace hole formed in the shoe through any two of the support holes and tied, thereby fixing the shoelace while adjusting the interval.
[0013] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings, FIGS. 1 to 5.
[0014] Fig. 1 is an exemplary view of a shoe formed with a sulfur according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is an exemplary view of a support band according to the present invention, and Fig. 3 is a front view showing a partial cross-section of a support band according to the present invention.
[0015] As shown in the drawing, shoes that can be generally seen have an opening formed by cutting the part of the upper (100) that covers the instep from the forefoot toward the heel. On both sides of the opening in the upper (100), lace holes (102) are formed at regular intervals, and shoelaces (200) are passed through the lace holes (102) formed as described above and then tied, thereby adjusting the spacing between the openings to fit the wearer's feet.
[0016] The sulfo (300) is formed at the bottom of the opening. It is fixed at the point where the opening begins inside the shoe and is fixed by being sewn to the upper (100). As a result, the sulfo (300) blocks the opening and serves to protect the instep.
[0017] The sulfur (300) according to the present invention has a plurality of support holes (342) formed on the upper surface.
[0018] The support hole (342) is formed along the transverse direction of the sulfur (300) and is formed at a position that roughly overlaps with the lace hole (102). Preferably, it is formed at a position that overlaps with the first or second lace hole (102) located from the shoe entrance among the lace holes (102).
[0019] It is preferable that the number of support holes (342) be formed in an even number. As described above, the support holes (342) formed in an even number are formed in positions symmetrical to the left and right based on the center point in the width direction of the sulfur (300). It is a structure in which three support holes (342) are formed on the left side based on the center point in the width direction of the sulfur (300), and three support holes (342) are similarly formed symmetrically to each other on the right side.
[0020] The support hole (342) is formed in the support band (320), and the support band (320) is fixed to the upper surface of the sulfur (300), so that the support hole (342) can be formed on the upper surface of the sulfur (300). This support band (320) is a thin plate formed in the shape of a plank with a certain width and length, and can be formed of a material such as synthetic resin, metal, or leather. A plurality of support holes (342) are formed along the support band (320). This support band (320) can also be formed by connecting two pieces.
[0021] The support hole (342) formed in the support band (320) can be formed by protruding upwards in a convex manner when a portion of the support band (320) is cut. When a punch is used to protrude upwards in a convex manner a portion of the support band (320) to form a punching protrusion (340), the support hole (342) is naturally formed inside the punching protrusion (340).
[0022] Here, the punching protrusions (340) formed on the support belt (320) can be formed by alternately connecting the upper and lower portions. This allows the size of the support hole (342) to be increased.
[0023] Figure 4 is an exemplary diagram showing a state in which the sulfur according to the present invention is fixed with a shoelace.
[0024] As previously explained, the part of the upper (100) that covers the instep is cut from the forefoot toward the heel to form an opening. This opening widens or narrows depending on the size of the wearer's foot, thereby adjusting the size of the shoe to fit the size of the wearer's foot.
[0025] Here, as the opening is formed as described above, a left upper (120) is naturally formed on the left side of the opening and a right upper (140), and lace holes (102) are formed at regular intervals on the left upper (120) and the right upper (140). A shoelace (200) is threaded along the lace holes (102) formed in this manner and then tied by tightening it to fit the size of the wearer's foot. The configuration of the opening, the left upper (120), the right upper (140), and the configuration of tying the shoelace (200) to the lace holes (102) as described above are no different from those of general shoes.
[0026] In the present invention, in the process of tying the shoelace (200) to the lace hole (102) as described above, the shoelace (200) is passed through the support hole (342) formed in the tongue (300). Since the opening is widened to fit the size of the wearer's foot, the shoelace (200) is passed through the support hole (342) that fits it. That is, among the plurality of support holes (342) formed in the tongue (300), the shoelace (200) that advances toward the lace hole (102) formed in the left upper (120) and the shoelace (200) that advances toward the lace hole (102) formed in the right upper (140) are passed through the support hole (342) formed in a position such that they can advance in a straight line without being bent or twisted.
[0027] According to the above, the sulfur (300) is firmly supported by the shoelace (200) at two points. Accordingly, the sulfur (300) is stably fixed without being pushed to one side while the wearer is doing activities while wearing the shoes. In particular, since the support hole (342) that matches the gap between the openings among the plurality of support holes (342) is selected and the shoelace (200) is passed through it, the sulfur (300) can be fixed while tying the shoelace (200) to fit the size of the wearer's foot.
[0028] Figure 5 is an exemplary diagram showing a configuration in which the sulfur according to the present invention is dried upward.
[0029] The sulfur (300) according to the present invention can be formed so that the end on the shoe entrance side is rolled upward.
[0030] The configuration in which the end of the sulfur (300) is rolled upward can be achieved by forming a slit (360) by cutting the surface of the sulfur (300) by a certain width in the width direction, and then narrowing and fixing the slit (360). The method for narrowing and fixing the slit (360) can be by sewing.
[0031] A plurality of these slits (360) can be formed at predetermined intervals as needed. This allows the degree to which the sulfur (300) is dried to be controlled.
[0032] As described above, when the end of the sulfur (300) is formed to roll upward, the sulfur (300) can be prevented from blocking the shoe entrance. Furthermore, since the left and right ends of the sulfur (300) can be caught in the opening, the sulfur (300) can be prevented from sagging down, so that the sulfur (300) does not interfere when the wearer puts his / her foot into the shoe entrance, allowing the wearer to put on the shoe comfortably.
[0033] Meanwhile, in the present invention, the bottom surface of the sulfur (300) can be formed smoothly. This can be achieved by coating with a known coating solution, which allows the foot to slide and enter smoothly when it comes into contact with the bottom surface of the sulfur (300) as it enters the shoe opening when wearing the shoe.
