upper, collar, accessories and shoes Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of footwear accessories, and in particular to a shoe collar accessory and a shoe. Background Technology
[0002] Shoes mainly consist of a sole, an upper connected to the sole, a collar, and a tongue. When shoes are worn, the collar and tongue cover the ankle. During exercise, the tongue at the ankle moves back and forth relative to the collar, causing contact and friction. Prolonged contact and friction can easily lead to damage at the contact points between the collar and tongue, thus affecting the lifespan and overall appearance of the shoes. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of at least one specific embodiment of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a shoe collar accessory and shoe.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0005] A shoe collar accessory includes a protective piece adapted to the shape of the collar edge. The protective piece includes an inner insulating portion, an outer protective portion, and a connecting portion connecting the inner insulating portion and the outer protective portion.
[0006] An open interface is formed between the inner isolation section and the outer protective section;
[0007] The protective piece is designed to be clipped onto the edge of the shoe collar via an interface, and the inner insulating part can support the inside of the shoe collar, so that the inside of the shoe collar is at least partially isolated from the tongue.
[0008] Furthermore, an inner liner is fixedly installed on the inner side of the inner isolation section, and the surface of the inner liner is polished.
[0009] Furthermore, the protective plate is equipped with fastening components that are adapted to be inserted into the eyelets to secure the protective plate to the collar of the shoe upper.

[0011] Furthermore, the fastening components are visible as decorative surfaces.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer edge of the outer protective part is adapted to avoid the eyelet so that the fastening component passes through the eyelet without interfering with the outer protective part.
[0013] Furthermore, the fastening assembly includes a first fastener that passes through the inner isolation portion and a second fastener that is connected to the first fastener;
[0014] When the protective plate is held at the collar of the shoe upper, the first fastener can pass through the eyelet at the collar of the shoe upper and connect with the second fastener. After the first fastener and the second fastener are tightened, the inner isolation part fits against the inside of the collar of the shoe upper.
[0015] Furthermore, the first fastener and the second fastener are fixedly connected by threads.
[0016] Furthermore, the first fastener and the second fastener are fixedly connected by a snap-fit mechanism.
[0017] Furthermore, the inner isolation part is provided with a hole suitable for being opposite to the shoe eyelet. The hole is configured as a countersunk hole. After the first fastener passes through the inner isolation part, the head of the first fastener is located in the countersunk hole, so that the head of the first fastener is not higher than the surface of the inner isolation part.
[0018] Furthermore, the inner isolation section and the outer protection section are separate components. The inner isolation section is provided with a first connecting section, and the outer protection section is provided with a second connecting section. The first connecting section and the second connecting section are connected by a clamping assembly. The first connecting section and the second connecting section are spliced together to form a connecting section.
[0019] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a pin passing through the first connecting part and the second connecting part, a torsion spring sleeved on the pin, one end of the torsion spring being connected to the first connecting part and the other end being connected to the second connecting part;
[0020] Limiting plates are installed at both ends of the pin, which are suitable for limiting the movement of the pin in its length direction.
[0021] Another technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide a shoe collar accessory, including a protective piece adapted to the shape of the edge of the shoe collar, the protective piece including an inner isolation part, an outer protective part and a connecting part connecting the inner isolation part and the outer protective part, and an open attachment interface is formed between the inner isolation part and the outer protective part.
[0022] The protective piece has a curved profile to fit the edge shape of the shoe's collar.
[0023] The inner isolation section and the outer protective section have corresponding through holes, which are configured to align with the eyelets on the collar of the shoe upper, so that shoelaces or fastening components can pass through.
[0024] Furthermore, the protective sheet has a split symmetrical structure, including a left protective sheet and a right protective sheet that are independent of each other and mirror-symmetrical;
[0025] Both the left and right protective panels have an arc-shaped profile to fit the edge shape of the left and right collar of the shoe, respectively.
[0026] Furthermore, the protective film is made of silicone.
[0027] Furthermore, the fastening assembly includes a first locking member and a second locking member;
[0028] The first locking member includes a cylindrical portion having a connecting hole, and the second locking member includes a cylindrical portion that is adapted to the connecting hole.
[0029] The first and second locking members are configured to pass through the through holes on the inner isolation section and the outer protective section, as well as the shoe eyelet, and are locked and fixed by the insertion and engagement of the cylindrical section and the cylindrical section.
[0030] Furthermore, the diameter of at least a portion of the connecting hole in the cylindrical portion is smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical portion to form an interference fit.
[0031] Furthermore, when viewed from the front of the outer protective part, at least part of its structure is visible after the fastening assembly is installed, and the visible part is constructed as a decorative surface.
[0032] This application also provides a shoe collar accessory, including a protective sheet integrally molded from a flexible elastic material, the protective sheet having an arcuate profile adapted to the edge of the shoe collar, and comprising:
[0033] The inner insulating section is used to support the inside of the shoe collar.
[0034] The outer protective section is used to fit the outer side of the shoe collar.
[0035] And the connecting portion between the inner isolation portion and the outer protective portion;
[0036] The inner isolation portion, the outer protective portion, and the connecting portion together define an open attachment interface; the flexible elastic material allows the protective piece to elastically deform around the connecting portion, thereby enabling the attachment interface to expandably fit over the edge of the shoe collar, and allowing the inner isolation portion to at least partially isolate the inside of the shoe collar from the shoe tongue.
[0037] Furthermore, the protective sheet is integrally molded from silicone material.
[0038] The beneficial technical effect of the shoe collar accessory provided in this application compared with the prior art is that: the protective piece of the accessory can be clamped at the position of the shoe collar through the interface, and the inner isolation part can support the inner side of the shoe collar, so that the inner side of the shoe collar is isolated from the shoe tongue.

[0068] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1
[0069] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, a shoe collar accessory includes a protective piece 100 adapted to the shape of the collar edge. The protective piece 100 includes an inner isolation portion 101, an outer protective portion 102, and a connecting portion 103 connecting the inner isolation portion 101 and the outer protective portion 102. An open attachment interface 104 is formed between the inner isolation portion 101 and the outer protective portion 102. The clamping force of the attachment interface 104 can be changed by the deformation of the connecting portion 103.
[0070] An inner liner 100a is fixedly installed on the inner side of the inner isolation portion 101. The surface of the inner liner 100a is polished. When installing the inner liner 100a, it can be glued to the inner side of the inner isolation portion 101. In addition, in some embodiments, the inner liner 100a can be integrally formed with the inner isolation portion 101, so that it is not necessary to fix the inner liner 100a to the inner isolation portion 101 separately.
[0071] Referring to Figures 13, 16, and 17, when this shoe collar accessory is used on a shoe, the protective piece 100 is attached to the shoe collar 200 via the attachment interface 104, and the inner isolation portion 101 supports the inner side of the shoe collar 200, thus isolating the inner side of the shoe collar 200 from the tongue 300. At the same time, the abrasive surface of the inner lining 100a contacts the inner side of the shoe collar 200, providing an anti-slip function and preventing the protective piece 100 from falling off. In addition, after the protective piece 100 is attached to the shoe collar 200 via the attachment interface 104, the connecting portion 103 covers the top of the shoe collar 200, and the outer protective portion 102 supports the outer side of the shoe collar 200.
[0072] Because the tongue 300 constantly rubs against the inside of the collar 200 during wear, the material inside the collar 200 is easily worn down, affecting the appearance and lifespan of the shoe. The inner insulating part 101 supports the inside of the collar 200, separating the tongue 300 from the collar 200, avoiding direct contact and friction, thus effectively reducing wear on the inside of the collar and extending the overall lifespan of the shoe.
[0073] In addition, the inner isolation section 101 isolates the tongue 300 and the collar section 200, creating a certain space between them, which is conducive to air circulation and improves the ventilation and heat dissipation performance inside the shoe. The heat and moisture generated by the feet can be better dissipated, reducing stuffiness and odor, and keeping the feet dry and comfortable.
[0074] The inner isolation part 101 supports the inside of the shoe collar 200, and to a certain extent supports the shoe collar 200, which helps to maintain the shape of the shoe collar 200, prevents it from deforming and collapsing, makes the shoe fit better overall, and enhances the shoe's wrapping and support for the foot. Example 2
[0075] Referring to Figures 4 to 6, 14, 16, and 18, based on the same technical concept, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that a fastening component is installed on the protective plate 100. The fastening component can pass through the eyelet 201 to bind the protective plate 100 to the collar 200 of the shoe upper. When viewed from the frontal view of the outer protective part 102, the fastening component is at least partially visible. The visible part of the fastening component can serve as a decorative surface. Moreover, the outer edge of the outer protective part 102 can avoid the eyelet 201 so that the fastening component passes through the eyelet 201 without interfering with the outer protective part 102.
[0076] Specifically, the fastening assembly includes a first fastener 105 passing through the inner isolation portion 101 and a second fastener 106 connected to the first fastener 105. In this embodiment, the first fastener 105 is a threaded sleeve and the second fastener 106 is a threaded post.
[0077] When the protective plate 100 is attached to the collar 200 of the shoe upper, the first fastener 105 can pass through the eyelet 201 of the collar 200 and be threadedly connected to the second fastener 106. After being tightened, the first fastener 105 and the second fastener 106 make the inner isolation part 101 fit against the inner side of the collar 200, so that the inner isolation part 101 and the outer protective part 102 are stably clamped at the collar 200. Through the design of the fastening component, the first fastener 105 passes through the eyelet 201 of the collar 200 and is threadedly connected to the second fastener 106, forming a reliable fastening structure. Compared with the simple clamping method, the protective plate can be more firmly fixed at the collar 200. During daily wear and exercise, the protective plate 100 is effectively prevented from shifting or falling off due to external forces, ensuring that the inner isolation part 101 and the outer protective part 102 are stably clamped in the shoe collar 200, providing continuous and stable protection for the shoe collar 200 and the shoe tongue 300.
[0078] Moreover, the tightened first fastener 105 and second fastener 106 ensure that the inner isolation part 101 fits tightly against the inner side of the shoe collar 200, eliminating any possible gaps and further improving the tightness of the connection between the protective piece 100 and the shoe collar 200, thereby better achieving the isolation and protection functions.
[0079] Because of the adjustable threaded connection, the fastening component can adapt to different shoe types, different thicknesses of the collar 200 and the position of the eyelets 201. By rotating the threaded post to adjust the tightness, the protective plate 100 can be installed and fixed well on various shoes, improving the product's versatility and adaptability.
[0080] During installation, if the position or tightness of the protective plate 100 is found to be unsuitable, it can be easily fine-tuned by rotating the threaded column until the best installation effect is achieved, meeting the personalized needs of different users.
[0081] During installation, simply pass the first fastener 105 through the shoe eyelet 201, then thread it onto the second fastener 106 and tighten it. The operation is relatively simple, requiring no complicated tools or professional skills, and is easy to install in batches on the production line, thus improving production efficiency.
[0082] When the protective plate 100 needs to be cleaned or the shoes need to be repaired, simply rotate the threaded post in the opposite direction to separate the first fastener 105 from the second fastener 106. The protective plate 100 can be easily removed, which is convenient and quick and will not damage the shoes themselves. This facilitates the reuse of the protective plate 100 and the maintenance of the shoes.
[0083] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the inner isolation portion 101 is provided with a hole opposite to the shoe eyelet 201. This hole is configured as a countersunk hole 107. After the first fastener 105 passes through the inner isolation portion 101, the head of the first fastener 105 is located in the countersunk hole 107, so that the head of the first fastener 105 is not higher than the surface of the inner isolation portion 101. This can prevent the head of the first fastener 105 from contacting the surface of the shoe tongue 300, and ensure the isolation effect of the inner isolation portion 101 between the shoe collar portion 200 and the shoe tongue 300. Example 3
[0084] Referring to Figures 7 to 9, 14, 16, and 18, based on the same technical concept, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that the first fastener 105 and the second fastener 106 are fixedly connected by a snap fastener. Specifically, the end of the first fastener 105 has a circular snap fastener 108, and the end of the second fastener 106 has a snap hole 109 corresponding to the snap fastener 108. When the protective piece 100 is clamped at the shoe collar 200, the first fastener 105 can pass through the shoe eyelet 201 at the shoe collar 200 and be fastened to the second fastener 106. After being fastened, the first fastener 105 and the second fastener 106 make the inner isolation part 101 fit against the inner side of the shoe collar 200, so that the inner isolation part 101 and the outer protective part 102 are stably clamped at the shoe collar 200. Example 4
[0085] Referring to Figures 10 to 12, 15, 16, and 19, based on the same technical concept, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the inner isolation part 101 and the outer protection part 102 are separate components. The inner isolation part 101 is provided with a first connecting part 101a, and the outer protection part 102 is provided with a second connecting part 102a. The first connecting part 101a and the second connecting part 102a are connected by a clamping assembly 400. The first connecting part 101a and the second connecting part 102a are spliced together to form a connecting part.
[0086] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 400 includes a pin 401 passing through the first connecting part 101a and the second connecting part 102a, and a torsion spring 402 sleeved on the pin 401. One end of the torsion spring 402 is connected to the first connecting part 101a, and the other end is connected to the second connecting part 102a.
[0087] In addition, to prevent the pin 401 from coming loose, the two ends of the pin 401 are provided with slots 403, and limit pieces 404 are installed in the slots 403. The limit pieces 404 can limit the movement of the pin 401 in its length direction.
[0088] After the inner isolation part 101 and the outer protection part 102 are connected by the clamping assembly 400, when the inner isolation part 101 and the outer protection part 102 are opened relative to each other, the size of the auxiliary interface 104 between the inner isolation part 101 and the outer protection part 102 can be changed. Since the size of the auxiliary interface 104 can be changed when the inner isolation part 101 and the outer protection part 102 are opened relative to each other, the protective piece 100 can adapt to different sizes of shoe collar 200, and has better versatility and adaptability, which can meet the installation requirements of various shoe types.
[0089] When the protective plate 100 is installed at the collar 200 of the shoe upper, the inner isolation part 101 and the outer protective part 102 can be opened relative to each other. At this time, the torsion spring 402 is in a deformed state, and the opening of the interface 104 becomes larger. When the protective plate 100 is placed at the collar 200 of the shoe upper, the inner isolation part 101 and the outer protective part 102 are released. Under the restoring force of the torsion spring 402, the inner isolation part 101 and the outer protective part 102 are closed relative to each other and clamped at the collar 200 of the shoe upper. At this time, the inner isolation part 101 is supported on the inside of the collar 200 of the shoe upper, so that the inside of the collar 200 of the shoe upper is isolated from the tongue 300, separating the tongue 300 from the collar 200 of the shoe upper, avoiding direct contact and friction between the two, thereby effectively reducing wear on the inside of the collar 200 of the shoe upper and extending the overall service life of the shoe. Example 5
[0090] Referring to Figures 20 to 26, this embodiment integrates the structural form, material selection, and fixing method of the protective plate based on the core concept of embodiment 1, aiming to improve the universality of the accessory for different shoe types, ease of installation, and overall aesthetics.
[0091] Specifically, in this embodiment, the protective piece 100 is divided into two independent components: the left protective piece 100a and the right protective piece 100b. This split design is more in line with ergonomics and the symmetrical structure of the shoe itself, enabling more precise and fitting coverage and protection for the collar area of the left and right shoes.
[0092] Taking the structure of the right protective piece 100b as an example, it also includes the core functional parts constituting the protective piece: the inner isolation part 101, the outer protective part 102, and the connecting part 103 connecting the two. A crucial open interface 104 is formed between the inner isolation part 101 and the outer protective part 102. The entire right protective piece 100b is designed with a specific arc-shaped contour, which adapts to the edge shape of the right side of the shoe collar 200. Similarly, the left protective piece 100a also adopts a symmetrical arc-shaped design to ensure that it fits snugly against the left side of the shoe collar 200. This contoured arc design not only ensures the stability of the accessory after installation, preventing lifting or displacement due to shape mismatch, but also makes the product appearance integrated with the shoe body lines, improving the overall visual harmony.
[0093] In terms of materials, this embodiment preferably uses silicone as the manufacturing material for the left protective piece 100a and the right protective piece 100b. Silicone has several significant advantages: First, it possesses excellent flexibility and elasticity, allowing the protective pieces to deform within a certain range, making it easier to fit or adapt to shoe collars of varying thicknesses and slight dimensional differences, thus enhancing the product's versatility. Second, silicone typically has good abrasion resistance and durability, able to withstand long-term indirect friction between the tongue and collar, as well as bending during daily wear, extending the lifespan of the accessories. Third, silicone has a soft and comfortable feel, providing a good user experience even in direct contact with the ankle skin, avoiding the friction or pressure that may be caused by hard materials. Furthermore, silicone is easy to process and color, offering a wide range of decorative possibilities for the product.
[0094] It is also worth mentioning that:
[0095] Silicone material is suitable for flexible deformation. During actual installation, this characteristic helps the connector 104 to easily achieve appropriate expansion, allowing the protective piece to fit and position smoothly with the shoe collar, significantly reducing the difficulty of installation. At the same time, the excellent extensibility of silicone itself can flexibly adapt to the size differences and curvature variations of different shoe collars. Whether it's high-top shoes, low-top shoes, or collar designs from different brands, the protective piece can fit snugly, effectively improving the accessory's versatility and compatibility with various shoe types.
[0096] Furthermore, in everyday wear, when the shoe tongue comes into contact with the silicone protective plate, the flexible silicone surface creates a moderate frictional force between the shoe tongue and the flexible silicone surface. This force effectively isolates the shoe tongue 300 from direct contact with the collar 200 of the upper, preventing wear and tear caused by reciprocating friction and extending the shoe's lifespan. On the other hand, this frictional force provides a stable limiting effect on the shoe tongue, effectively preventing it from shifting or slipping during exercise or walking, ensuring that the shoe tongue always remains in the correct position to fit the foot.
[0097] In addition, to ensure that the left and right protective plates can be firmly positioned at the collar of the shoe upper and prevent them from coming loose during strenuous exercise or daily wearing and taking off, this embodiment has taken into account two aspects of the fixing mechanism.
[0098] Firstly, utilizing the shoe's original lacing system, corresponding through holes 110 are provided at corresponding positions on the inner isolation section 101 and the outer protective section 102. When the left protective piece 100a and the right protective piece 100b are attached to the left and right shoe collar sections 200 of the shoe respectively through their respective attachment interfaces 104, these through holes 110 will precisely align with the inherent eyelets 201 on the shoe collar section. Subsequently, when lacing the shoes, the shoelaces will pass through these aligned eyelets and through holes in sequence. By tightening the shoelaces, not only is the shoe itself fixed, but also a compressive force is applied to the left and right protective pieces, indirectly locking the protective pieces in a preset position through the binding effect of the shoelaces.
[0099] Secondly, to provide reliable fixation, this embodiment further introduces a dedicated fastening assembly 500. This fastening assembly 500 includes a first locking member 111 and a second locking member 112. The fastening assembly here differs in structural principle from that of Embodiments 2 (threaded connection) and 3 (snap-fit connection), embodying a plug-in type tight fit scheme. Specifically, the first locking member 111 is designed to include a cylindrical portion 111a, with an axially formed connecting hole 111b inside. The second locking member 112 is correspondingly designed with a cylindrical portion 112a. The outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 112a and the diameter of the connecting hole 111b inside the cylindrical portion 111a are designed to be mutually adapted to achieve a tight fit. An optimized detail is that the diameter of the connecting hole 111b near the bottom can be slightly smaller than the nominal diameter of the cylindrical portion 112a, creating a slight interference fit tendency.
[0100] During installation, with the left and right protective plates already placed on the collar 200 of the shoe upper and the through holes 110 aligned with the eyelets 201, the first locking member 111 and the second locking member 112 pass through the through holes 110 on the inner and outer sides of the shoe upper, and through the eyelets 201 sandwiched in the middle of the shoe upper material. Then, the cylindrical portion 112a of the second locking member 112 is aligned and forcefully inserted into the connecting hole 111b of the cylindrical portion 111a of the first locking member 111. Due to the tight fit (especially the possible slight interference at the bottom), the cylindrical portion 112a is radially compressed after insertion into the connecting hole 111b, generating sufficient friction and holding force, thus achieving a secure lock between the two. This "click" insertion method is intuitive and simple to operate, requiring no tools, and users can easily complete the installation and removal. After being locked together, the first locking member 111 and the second locking member 112 act like a rivet or bolt group, tightly clamping and fixing the left protective plate 100a and the right protective plate 100b to the predetermined position of the shoe collar 200. The inner isolation portion 101 of the installed left protective plate 100a and right protective plate 100b supports the inner side of the shoe collar 200, thus isolating the inner side of the shoe collar 200 from the shoe tongue 300, separating the shoe tongue 300 from the shoe collar 200, avoiding direct contact and friction between the two, thereby effectively reducing wear on the inner side of the shoe collar and extending the overall service life of the shoe.
[0101] In summary, the shoe collar accessory provided in this embodiment achieves optimal shape matching with the shoe collar through its symmetrical split arc design; it obtains excellent elasticity, durability and comfort by using high-performance silicone material; and it constructs a double-safety fixing scheme by combining the through-hole design of the original shoelace system with plug-in special fastening components, ensuring the stability of the accessory under various usage conditions.
[0102] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
