Description

Figure crack-prevention shoes

[0001] The present invention relates to shoes for preventing cracks in figures, and specifically, to shoes for preventing cracks in figures that serve as an adapter capable of being attached to the leg portion of a figure and then fixed to a base.

[0002] Minifigures, often referred to as 'Lego figures' or 'mini figures,' are small, articulated plastic figures made from special blocks by various toy manufacturers such as Lego, Oxford, and Nanoblock.

[0003] Minifigures, which have been released and sold by LEGO since 2010, are original characters featuring new clothes and face designs. They are produced to reflect movies, sports, history, and popular culture, and many figures include accessories that have never been seen before, so many people around the world have made collecting them a hobby.

[0004] Typically, minifigures are displayed or stored by attaching them to Lego bases. The attachment method is similar to standard Lego, where the base features multiple protrusions and the minifigure's sole has a concave groove, allowing the two to be joined by snapping them together.

[0005] However, since this method involves a joint structure that applies continuous force to the figures' connections, there is a problem where damage, such as cracks forming in the legs, occurs over time. For minifigures that possess unique characters and rarity, resulting in high collectible value, the fact that damage occurs simply from storage or display is a major concern among collectors.

[0006] Therefore, there is a growing demand for devices or methods to store minifigures so that damage, such as cracks, does not occur even after a long time.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide shoes for preventing figure cracks that can prevent damage, such as cracks, from occurring to minifigures even when they are displayed or stored on a Lego base for a long time.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the figure (2) with the figure crack prevention shoe (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention mounted on it being fixed to a base (3).

[0047] Hereinafter, terms such as up, down, front, back, and side regarding directions are based on FIG. 1. Specifically, in FIG. 1, the x-axis direction is defined as forward, the opposite direction as rear, the y-axis direction as upward, the opposite direction as downward, and the z-axis direction as side. In addition, regarding side, the inner side refers to the left side in the case of shoes worn on the right foot of the figure (2), and the right side in the case of shoes worn on the left foot of the figure (2). In addition, regarding side, the outer side refers to the right side in the case of shoes worn on the right foot of the figure (2), and the left side in the case of shoes worn on the left foot of the figure (2).

[0048] A figure crack prevention shoe (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a base portion (10), a front guide wall portion (20), a rear guide wall portion (30), and an outer wall portion (40).

[0049] In one embodiment, the support member (10) may be formed in the shape of a rectangular plate. Additionally, the rear guide wall member (30) may be a wall member formed perpendicularly to the support member (10) along the rear edge of the support member (10). Additionally, the front guide wall member (20) may be a wall member formed parallel to the rear guide wall member (30) in front of the rear guide wall member (30).

[0050] In one embodiment, an insertion opening (50) may be formed between the front guide wall (20) and the rear guide wall (30). The insertion opening (50) may be a space formed between the front guide wall (20) and the rear guide wall (30). The legs and feet of the figure (2) may be configured to move laterally through the insertion opening (50) and be inserted into the figure crack prevention shoe (1).

[0051] In one embodiment, the outer wall portion (40) may be a wall portion formed along the outer edge of the support portion (10) to form an angle of 60° to 90° with the support portion (10). That is, the outer wall portion (40) may be positioned to have an acute angle with the support portion (10) in a form that is perpendicular to the support portion (10) or slightly inclined inward. At this time, the outer wall portion (40) and the rear guide wall portion (30) are formed perpendicular to each other. Meanwhile, the outer end of the front guide wall portion (20) may be connected to at least a part of the front end of the outer wall portion (40). Since the front guide wall portion (20) is positioned parallel to the rear guide wall portion (30), the front guide wall portion (20) and the outer wall portion (40) are also formed perpendicular to each other. In this case, the outer wall (40), the rear guide wall (30), and the front guide wall (20) are arranged to have a 'U' shape when viewed vertically from above the figure crack prevention shoe (1).

[0052] In one embodiment, the front guide wall (20) may include a figure instep catch (200). The figure instep catch (200) may restrict or fix the figure's vertical movement by engaging with the upper surface of the instep portion formed protruding forward from the lower leg of the figure (2).

[0053] Referring to FIG. 1, in a figure crack prevention shoe (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the front guide wall (20) may be formed to be spaced apart from the upper surface of the support member (10) by a predetermined distance. At this time, the outer end of the front guide wall (20) is arranged to be connected to the upper end of the front end of the outer wall (40). Additionally, the front end of the outer wall (40) may be arranged to be spaced rearward by a predetermined distance from the front of the support member (10). In this case, the front guide wall (20) is arranged on a plane located rearward from the front of the support member (10), and the distance from the front guide wall (20) to the front of the support member (10) is equal to the distance from the front end of the outer wall (40) to the front of the support member (10).

[0054] In the above-described embodiment, the figure's foot catch portion (200) may be the lower portion of the front guide wall portion (20). Specifically, the foot portion of the figure (2) is inserted into the space between the lower portion of the front guide wall portion (20) and the upper surface of the support portion (10). At this time, the front guide wall portion (20), which is positioned on a plane located behind the front of the support portion (10), is engaged with the lower portion in contact with the upper surface of the foot portion of the figure (2), thereby restricting or fixing the vertical movement of the figure (2).

[0055] In a figure crack prevention shoe (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the support portion (10) may include a first fixing portion (11) formed on its lower surface. The first fixing portion (11) may be a concave portion formed upwardly from the lower surface of the support portion (10) or a magnetic portion having magnetic properties. If the first fixing portion (11) is formed as a concave portion, the first fixing portion (11) may be a portion into which a convex protrusion of the footrest (3) is inserted and fitted. If the first fixing portion (11) is a magnetic portion, it may be a portion that can be fixed by being coupled by magnetic force through contact with a magnetic portion formed on the upper surface of the footrest (3).

[0056] In one embodiment, the rear guide wall (30) may include a second fixing part (31). The second fixing part (31) may be a through hole penetrating the front and rear of the rear guide wall (30), or a magnetic part.

[0057] By forming a part on the rear that connects with the footrest (3) of the figure crack prevention shoe (1), it is possible to achieve the effect of displaying the figure (2) in a lying position.

[0058] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the figure crack prevention shoes can be installed without applying any stress to the figure's legs, and when the figure is fixed to a base, the figure crack prevention shoes can be provided with a structure that bears the stress instead.

[0059] FIG. 5 is a perspective view from above of a figure crack prevention shoe (1) according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] In a figure crack prevention shoe (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention, a first elastic protrusion (35) protruding toward the front guide wall (20) may be formed on at least one of the two side ends of the rear guide wall (30). Additionally, a second elastic protrusion (25) protruding toward the rear guide wall (30) may be formed on at least one of the two side ends of the front guide wall (20). At this time, the side end of the rear guide wall (30) where the first elastic protrusion (35) is formed and the side end of the front guide wall (20) where the second elastic protrusion (25) is formed may be formed to have elasticity so that when a force greater than a predetermined force is applied, they can bend in the front-rear direction and then elastically restore.

[0061] According to the above-described embodiment, the figure crack prevention shoe (1) can be more stably attached to the figure (2). Specifically, when the leg and foot portions of the figure (2) are laterally moved through the insertion opening (50) and inserted into the figure crack prevention shoe (1), the first elastic protrusion (35) and the second elastic protrusion (25) are inserted while being slightly pushed backward and forward, respectively. At this time, the side end of the rear guide wall (30) where the first elastic protrusion (35) is formed and the side end of the front guide wall (20) where the second elastic protrusion (25) is formed have elasticity, so they can be slightly bent in the forward and backward directions during this process. At the moment when the legs and feet of the figure (2) are completely inserted into the figure crack prevention shoe (1), that is, when the legs and feet of the figure (2) are positioned further outward than the first elastic protrusion (35) and the second elastic protrusion (25), the side end of the rear guide wall (30) where the first elastic protrusion (35) is formed and the side end of the front guide wall (20) where the second elastic protrusion (25) is formed are elastically restored and return to their original positions. At this time, the first elastic protrusion (35) and the second elastic protrusion (25) act as a stopper that restricts the left and right movement of the legs and feet of the figure (2). As a result, the figure crack prevention shoe (1) can be stably attached to the figure (2) without fear of falling off.

[0062] FIG. 6 is a perspective view looking from above of a shoe (1) for preventing figure cracks according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a perspective view looking in the direction of the inner side of the shoe (1) for preventing figure cracks according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0063] In a figure crack prevention shoe (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the front guide wall (20) may include a lower guide wall (21) formed vertically with respect to the support member (10) along the front edge of the support member (10), a stepped portion (22) extending horizontally backward from the upper end of the lower guide wall (21), and an upper guide wall (23) extending vertically upward from the rear end of the stepped portion (22).

[0064] In this embodiment, there is no spaced-apart space between the front guide wall (20) and the upper surface of the support (10), and the figure crack prevention shoe (1) has a shape in which the entire front is closed. At this time, the step portion (22) may be a figure instep catch portion (200). Specifically, the lower surface of the step portion (22) and the instep portion of the figure (2) come into surface contact and are caught in a connected manner, so that the vertical movement of the figure (2) can be restricted or fixed.

[0065] In a figure crack prevention shoe (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the support portion (10) may include a coupling guide portion (12) or a coupling sliding catch portion (13) formed on its inner surface. For example, in the case of a shoe worn on the left foot of a figure (2), the support portion (10) may have a coupling guide portion (12) formed on its inner surface, and in the case of a shoe worn on the right foot of a figure (2), the support portion (10) may have a sliding catch portion (13) formed on its inner surface. Alternatively, it may be formed in the opposite way. That is, the shoe worn on one foot may include a coupling guide portion (12), and the shoe worn on the other foot may include a sliding catch portion (13) to form a pair.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 7b, the coupling guide portion (12) may be a curved concave portion on the inner surface of the support portion (10) that bends upward from the front to the rear. Additionally, the coupling guide portion (12) may include a locking guide protrusion (121) and a locking groove portion (122). The locking guide protrusion (121) may be a portion protruding in a direction toward the centerline (L) of the coupling guide portion (12). At this time, a space is created between the coupling guide protrusion (121) and the bottom surface of the coupling guide portion (12), and this part may be the locking groove portion (122). The coupling guide portion (12) is closed toward the front side of the figure crack prevention shoe (1) and is open toward the rear side.

[0067] Referring to FIG. 7a, the sliding catch portion (13) may be a protrusion that protrudes vertically from the inner surface of the support portion (10). The sliding catch portion (13) may include a catch sliding protrusion (132) formed to engage with the catch groove portion (122). The catch sliding protrusion (132) may be a portion protruding from the end of the sliding catch portion (13) on a plane parallel to the inner surface of the support portion (10). The sliding catch portion (13) is configured to be coupled to the coupling guide portion (12) of a pair of other figure crack prevention shoes (1). It is inserted into the coupling guide portion (12) through a portion open on the rear side of the figure crack prevention shoe (1), and in particular, the catch sliding protrusion (132) is inserted into the catch groove portion (122). Thus, the sliding locking part (13) can only move along the curved direction in which the coupling guide part (12) extends, and movement in other directions is restricted. Meanwhile, the coupling guide part (12) has a curved shape that bends upward from the front to the rear on the inner side of the support part (10) in consideration of the fact that when the legs of the figure (2) move back and forth, they move along a curved path with the pelvis part as an axis.

[0068] Meanwhile, the coupling guide part (12) or the coupling sliding locking part (13) may be optionally included in all embodiments of the figure crack prevention shoe (1) of the present invention.

[0069] FIG. 8 is a perspective view taken from above of a figure crack prevention shoe (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] A figure crack prevention shoe (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention may not include an outer wall portion (40).

[0071] In this embodiment, the front guide wall (20) may include a lower guide wall (21) formed vertically with respect to the support (10) along the front edge of the support (10), a stepped portion (22) extending horizontally backward from the upper end of the lower guide wall (21), and an upper guide wall (23) extending vertically upward from the rear end of the stepped portion (22).

[0072] In this embodiment as well, there is no spaced-apart space between the front guide wall (20) and the upper surface of the support (10), and the figure crack prevention shoe (1) has a shape in which the entire front is closed. At this time, the step portion (22) may be a figure instep catch portion (200). Specifically, the lower surface of the step portion (22) and the instep portion of the figure (2) come into surface contact and are caught in a connected manner, so that the vertical movement of the figure (2) can be restricted or fixed.

[0073] Meanwhile, since there is no outer wall (40), an insertion opening that is open to both sides can be formed between the front guide wall (20) and the rear guide wall (30).

[0074] When the figure crack prevention shoes (1) according to the above-described embodiment are attached to the figure (2) and then attached to the base (3) for storage or display, no force is applied directly to the figure (2), so it can be stored or displayed for a long time without cracks occurring.

[0075] FIG. 9 is a perspective view taken from above of a figure crack prevention shoe (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present invention, the figure crack prevention shoe (1) may have an outer wall portion (40) and a rear guide wall portion (30) formed perpendicularly to each other. Additionally, the outer end of the front guide wall portion (20) may be connected to at least a portion of the front end of the outer wall portion (40), and preferably connected to the upper end of the front end of the outer wall portion (40). Additionally, the front guide wall portion (20) may be formed such that its thickness decreases from the outer end toward the inner end. At this time, the front guide wall portion (20) may be positioned so as to be spaced rearward by a predetermined distance from the front of the support portion (10) when viewed vertically from above.

[0077] In one embodiment, the outer wall portion (40) may include an inclined portion (41) extending from the lower portion of the front guide wall portion (20) toward the front portion of the support portion (10). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the outer wall portion (40) may have a trapezoidal shape in the lower portion of the front guide wall portion (20).

[0078] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings, the present invention is not necessarily limited to these embodiments and may be implemented with various modifications within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention.
