Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は靴底で滑りを防止し、且つ利用者により靴底が取替可能とされる靴に関し、特に、確実に滑りを防止できると共に靴底の摩耗に伴い利用者が容易に靴底を交換できる靴に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
発電所等の海水を流通させる水管内面にフジツボやイガイなどの海生物が付着すると、水質悪化や管内作業の障害となり、又、その除去作業には多くの労力が必要となるため、従来から水管内面への海生物付着防止対策として防汚塗装が行われてきた。
【０００３】
この防汚塗料は、その特性上極めて滑りやすく、従来は安全対策として作業者の歩行部分のみは防汚塗料による塗装を行わない工法が採られていたが、この歩行部分には依然として海生物の付着が避けられないため、作業環境改善と廃棄物低減の点から、近年、水管内面全体への防汚塗装が提案されている。この場合、作業の際には塗装部分を歩いても滑らない防滑性を有する靴を用いる必要がある。
従来、歩行時の滑りを防げる靴としては、平滑なゴム底に波線状の切込みを設けたものや、ゴム底にガラス繊維を接地面に垂直に配向させる状態で含むもの等が用いられていた。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の靴は以上のように構成されており、靴底の滑りを抑える能力が不十分であり、極めて滑りやすい防汚塗装面において滑りを確実に防ぐことは難しいという課題を有していた。靴底に突起等が突出した別方式の滑り防止用靴では滑りは防げるものの塗装面を傷付けてしまうため、靴底に突起などを用いず、防汚塗装面を傷付けずに滑りを防ぐ靴が求められている。
【０００５】
滑りを最大限抑えながら、防汚塗装面への影響を小さくするためには、靴底を柔らかくする必要がある。ただし、靴底が激しく摩耗するため、実作業では短時間しか使用できず、交換を余儀なくされるという問題がある。この場合、靴底の摩耗に伴って靴全体を取替えていてはコスト面で非効率的であることから、靴底部分のみ交換できる靴が望まれる。
【０００６】
靴底を交換可能な靴は従来から種々提案されており、面ファスナで靴本体と靴底部を一体化させる構造が一般的であるが、靴本体から靴底部を剥がすにはかなりの力が必要で、また、剥がすための起点部分を作る必要がある。
このため、靴本体側の面ファスナと靴底部側の面ファスナとの間にあらかじめ挟み込んで靴底部を剥がす補助具が用いられる場合もあったが、補助具配設箇所は面ファスナ同士で係合せず、靴底部の固定力が弱まって靴底部が靴本体から外れる危険性もあるという課題を有していた。
【０００７】
本発明は、前記課題を解消するためになされたもので、防汚塗装面の損傷防止を図りつつ防汚塗装面上で安全に歩行できると共に、容易に靴底部の交換が行え、靴底部の摩耗に伴う防滑性低下を靴底部交換で解消できる靴を提供することを目的とする。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明に係る靴は、足を覆う靴本体と、当該靴本体の底側に着脱可能に取付けられる靴底部とを少なくとも備える靴において、前記靴底部が、吸水性を有する弾性多孔質素材で形成され、前記靴本体の底面及び靴底部の上面が、互いに着脱可能に係合する面形状とされてなり、所定幅の略帯状体で形成され、当該略帯状体の一方の面及び／又は他方の面が、靴本体の底面及び／又は靴底部の上面に着脱可能に係合する所定形状とされてなる交換補助手段を備え、前記交換補助手段の一端部を前記靴本体の踵側に突出させつつ、前記一端部以外における一方の面及び／又は他方の面を靴本体の底面及び／又は靴底部の上面に係合させて交換補助手段の一端部以外を靴本体と靴底部との間に挟まれた状態とし、さらに前記一端部を靴本体の踵後側部分に着脱自在に止着するものである。
【０００９】
このように本発明においては、靴本体と弾性多孔質素材製の靴底部との間に、靴本体の底面及び／又は靴底部の上面と着脱可能に係合する面を有する略帯状の交換補助手段を挟み込んで配設し、交換補助手段の一端部を靴本体の踵後側に止着した状態で靴を使用し、摩耗した靴底部を交換する場合には、交換補助手段の一端部を靴本体の踵後側部分から離し、さらにこの一端部側から交換補助手段を靴本体に対し引離すと、靴底部の靴本体への係合も解消されて靴底部を靴本体から取外せることにより、靴底部の取替えが強い力を必要とせずに容易に行え、靴底部の交換作業の能率が向上する。また、靴底をなす吸水性のある弾性多孔質素材が滑りやすい面に接して面を確実にとらえ、滑りを防止でき、安全な歩行を可能にする。
【００１０】
また、本発明に係る靴は必要に応じて、前記靴本体の底側及び靴底部の上側にそれぞれ一体に固定され、互いに着脱可能に係合する一対の面ファスナを備え、前記交換補助手段が、前記靴本体側の面ファスナ及び靴底部側の面ファスナにそれぞれ対応して着脱可能に係合する別の一対の面ファスナを一体化して形成されるものである。
【００１１】
このように本発明においては、靴本体の底面及び靴底部の上面をそれぞれ面ファスナとし、交換補助手段も前記面ファスナと対応する別の面ファスナを組合わせたものとすることにより、交換補助手段を靴本体と靴底部との間に挟み込んだ状態で各面ファスナ同士が係合し、交換補助手段の配設位置においても靴本体と靴底部が交換補助手段を介して確実に一体化することとなり、使用中に靴本体から靴底部の外れる危険性が著しく小さくなる。
【００１２】
また、本発明に係る靴は必要に応じて、前記靴本体側の面ファスナが、靴本体の踵後側部分所定範囲まで延長配設され、前記交換補助手段の一端部における前記靴本体寄りの面部分を靴本体側の面ファスナに対応して着脱可能に係合する所定の面ファスナとするものである。
【００１３】
このように本発明においては、靴本体側の面ファスナを靴本体の踵後側まで延長すると共に、交換補助手段の一端部所定箇所には靴本体側の面ファスナと係合する別の面ファスナを配置し、靴底部の交換後、突出状態となっている交換補助手段の一端部を靴本体の踵後側部分に面ファスナ同士の係合で止着することにより、交換補助手段の一端部を容易に靴本体と一体化した状態とすることができる上、新たに靴底部を交換する際にも交換補助手段の一端部を靴本体の踵後ろ側部分から容易に引離すことができ、取扱い性に優れる。
【００１４】
また、本発明に係る靴は必要に応じて、前記靴底部が、未加硫のゴムに少なくとも加硫促進剤を添加し且つ所定の短繊維を混練した原料に対し成型及びプレス加硫を行って得られる靴底状の略フェルト状体であるものである。
このように本発明においては、靴底部をゴムと短繊維からなる略フェルト状体とし、ゴムで一体に固定された各短繊維間に多数の空隙が生じた状態となると共に、不規則な向きで集合状態にある短繊維が靴底として滑りやすい面に柔らかく接することにより、吸水性に優れ、滑りやすい面を確実にとらえられ、その表面を傷付けることなく防滑性を発揮できることに加え、衝撃吸収性にも優れ、履き心地の向上も図れる。
【００１５】
また、本発明に係る靴は必要に応じて、前記短繊維が、長さを５ないし３０ｍｍ、太さを５ないし１５μｍとされ、前記ゴム１００重量部に対し２０ないし１２０重量部配合され、前記靴底部として得られる前記略フェルト状体の密度を約０．３ないし０．５ｇ／ｃｍ³とするものである。
このように本発明においては、短繊維を所定長さ範囲及び所定太さ範囲のものとし、且つゴムに対する配合割合を所定値として、得られる靴底部を約０．３ないし０．５ｇ／ｃｍ³の密度範囲の略フェルト状体とすることにより、靴底としての硬さが適切となり、防滑性を十分発揮させつつ、靴底全体に必要十分な耐久性を与えられ、防滑用の靴として優れた性能を得られる。
【００１６】
また、本発明に係る靴は必要に応じて、前記短繊維が、長さを２０ｍｍ、太さを１０ないし１５μｍとされ、前記ゴム１００重量部に対し１００重量部配合され、前記靴底部として得られる前記略フェルト状体の密度を約０．３ｇ／ｃｍ³とするものである。
このように本発明においては、短繊維を所定長さ及び所定太さ範囲のものとし、且つゴムに対する配合割合を一定値として、得られる靴底部を密度が約０．３ｇ／ｃｍ³の略フェルト状体とすることにより、靴底としての硬さが比較的柔らかく滑りにくさが大となる最適な状態となり、靴底全体の耐久性を確保した上で防滑性を最大限発揮させられることとなり、防滑用の靴としての安全性を大幅に向上させられる。
【００１７】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の一実施の形態を図１ないし図４に基づいて説明する。図１は本実施の形態に係る靴の分解斜視図、図２は本実施の形態に係る靴における交換補助手段の靴本体取付状態の要部断面図、図３は本実施の形態に係る靴の装用可能状態の斜視図、図４は本実施の形態に係る靴の靴底部取外し途中状態の斜視図である。
【００１８】
前記各図において本実施の形態に係る靴１は、足を覆う靴本体２と、この靴本体２の底側に着脱可能に取付けられ、ゴム及び所定の短繊維からなる略フェルト状体の靴底部３と、表面及び裏面が靴本体２の底面及び靴底部３の上面にそれぞれ着脱可能に係合する面ファスナとされる略帯状の交換補助手段４とを備える構成である。
【００１９】
前記靴本体２は、公知の靴底取替え式の靴における本体部分と同様、底側に面ファスナ２ａを一体に配設される構成を有する一方、これに加えて、踵後ろ側部分の底寄り所定範囲に底側の面ファスナ２ａの一部を延長させて配設される構成を有するものである。
前記靴底部３は、靴底形状の略フェルト状体の上面に、前記靴本体２底側の面ファスナ２ａに対応して着脱自在に係合する面ファスナ３ａを一体に固定されたものである。前記略フェルト状体は、未加硫のゴムに加硫促進剤を添加し且つ所定の短繊維をロールで混練し、混練した原料をまずシート状に成形した後、所定の大きさに裁断し、靴底状に成型しつつプレス加硫を行って形成される。
【００２０】
前記短繊維は、ポリアミド系や飽和ポリエステル系の合成繊維であり、長さを５ないし３０ｍｍ、太さを５ないし１５μｍとされ、ゴム１００重量部に対し２０ないし１２０重量部配合される。最終的な略フェルト状体の密度は約０．３ないし０．５ｇ／ｃｍ³である。
前記交換補助手段４は、前記靴本体２底側の面ファスナ２ａ及び靴底部３上側の面ファスナ３ａにそれぞれ対応して着脱可能に係合する別の一対の面ファスナを縫い合せて一体化して形成される構成である。この交換補助手段４の一端部は、靴本体２底側の面ファスナ２ａに対応する方の面ファスナをループ状に折返して固定し、靴本体２から取外す際のつまみ部としている。
【００２１】
次に、本実施形態の靴における靴底部の取付け及び取外しについて説明する。まず、靴本体２への靴底部３の取付けについては、交換補助手段４の一端部を靴本体２の踵側に所定長さ突出させた状態で、靴本体２底側の面ファスナ２ａ及び靴底部３上側の面ファスナ３ａにそれぞれ対応する交換補助手段４各面の面ファスナを係合させ、交換補助手段４を靴本体２と靴底部３との間に挟み込む。さらに、踵側に突出している交換補助手段４の一端部を靴本体２の踵後側部分に面ファスナ同士の係合により止着する。
【００２２】
こうして使用可能状態となった本実施の形態に係る靴１では、柔らかい略フェルト状体の靴底部３底面が滑りやすい面に当接して面を確実にとらえ、滑りを抑える。そして、交換補助手段４の一端部は靴本体２の踵後側部分に止着されており、使用中にこの一端部を誤って踏むことはない。使用に伴い、柔らかい靴底部３の底面は摩耗して靴底部３厚さは減少していくが、防滑性を有する略フェルト状体の部分がなくなると滑りやすくなって危険であるため、通常、さらなる摩耗で略フェルト状体の部分がなくなる直前まで靴底部３が摩耗した状態で、新しい靴底部３に交換する。
【００２３】
この摩耗した靴底部３を交換する場合などにおける靴本体２からの靴底部３の取外しについては、はじめに、交換補助手段４の一端部をつまんで靴本体２の踵後側部分から引離す。さらに、この一端部より交換補助手段４を靴本体２底面から引離すと、交換補助手段４と共に靴底部３の靴本体２への係合も踵側から解消されていく。一部が靴本体２から離れた靴底部３はそのまま引き剥がすと靴本体２から容易に取外せる。
【００２４】
このように、本実施の形態に係る靴は、靴本体２と靴底部３との間に、靴本体２底側の面ファスナ２ａ及び靴底部３上側の面ファスナ３ａとそれぞれ着脱可能に係合する面ファスナからなる交換補助手段４を挟み込んで配設し、摩耗した靴底部３を交換する場合には、交換補助手段４を一端部側から靴本体２に対し引離すと、靴底部３の靴本体２への係合も解消して靴底部３を靴本体２から取外せることから、靴底部３の取替えが容易に行え、靴底部３の交換作業の能率が向上する。また、交換補助手段４を靴本体２と靴底部３との間に挟み込んだ状態で各面ファスナ同士が係合し、交換補助手段４の配設位置においても靴本体２と靴底部３が確実に一体化することから、使用中に靴本体２から靴底部３が外れる危険性を著しく小さくできる。
【００２５】
さらに、本実施の形態に係る靴は、靴底部３をゴムと短繊維からなる所定密度の略フェルト状体とし、一体に固定された各短繊維間に多数の空隙が生じた状態となると共に、不規則な向きで集合状態にある短繊維が靴底として滑りやすい面に柔らかく接することから、吸水性に優れ、滑りやすい面を確実にとらえられ、その表面を傷付けることなく防滑性を発揮して面上を滑らず安全に歩行でき、且つ、靴底としての硬さが適切で靴底全体に必要十分な耐久性を与えられる。
【００２６】
なお、前記実施の形態に係る靴において、靴底部３をなす略フェルト状体に用いられる短繊維は所定の長さ及び太さ範囲内のものとされ、略フェルト状体としての密度は約０．３ないし０．５ｇ／ｃｍ³とされるが、好ましくは、短繊維の長さを２０ｍｍ、太さを１０ないし１５μｍとされ、ゴム１００重量部に対し短繊維を１００重量部配合されて、最終的に得られる略フェルト状体の密度を約０．３ｇ／ｃｍ³とされる。この場合、靴底としての硬さが比較的柔らかく滑りにくさが大となる最適な状態となり、靴底部３全体の耐久性を確保した上で防滑性を最大限発揮させられることとなり、防滑用の靴としての安全性を大幅に向上させられる。
【００２７】
また、前記実施の形態に係る靴においては、靴底部３をなす弾性多孔質素材として略フェルト状体を用いる構成としているが、これに限らず、弾性多孔質素材として連続気泡構造のウレタンフォームを用いる構成とすることもでき、靴底部３の製造工程を簡略化でき、製品としてのコストダウンが図れる。
【００２８】
また、前記実施の形態に係る靴においては、靴底部３をなす略フェルト状体をゴムと短繊維で形成する構成としているが、これに限らず、略フェルト状体の中にガラス繊維やカーボン繊維等の強化繊維を配設し、略フェルト状体の硬さはそのままに短繊維同士の結びつきを強めて強度を高める構成とすることもでき、靴底としての防滑性はそのまま維持しつつ、短繊維を脱落しにくくし、靴底部３の耐摩耗性を向上させられる。
【００２９】
また、前記実施の形態に係る靴において、靴底部３をなす略フェルト状体に含まれる各短繊維の向きは不規則となっているが、この他、略フェルト状体の短繊維に所定方向への配向性を付与する構成とすることもでき、滑りやすい面の性質によっては滑りにくさをさらに向上させられる。
また、前記実施の形態に係る靴においては、靴底部３をなす略フェルト状体の短繊維としてポリアミド系やポリエステル系の合成繊維を用いる構成としているが、これに限らず、短繊維として耐摩耗性素材（アラミド樹脂、ガラス、カーボン）製繊維を用いる構成とすることもできる。摩擦による短繊維自体の損耗を抑えられ、靴底部３の耐久性を高められる。
【００３０】
【実施例】
本発明に係る靴に関して、靴底部をなす略フェルト状体の密度の違いに基づく防滑性について比較した評価結果を説明する。
本発明に係る靴の靴底部を、この靴底部をなす略フェルト状体の密度を変えて防滑性の比較を行った。第１の実施例として、密度が０．３３３ｇ／ｃｍ³の略フェルト状体からなる靴底部を得た。略フェルト状体における材料配合割合は、ゴム１００重量部に対しポリアミド系短繊維が１００重量部である。
【００３１】
次に、第２の実施例として、プレスによる圧縮度合を変え、密度が０．４８９ｇ／ｃｍ³の略フェルト状体からなる靴底部を得た。略フェルト状体における材料配合割合は、第１の実施例と同様、ゴム１００重量部に対しポリアミド系短繊維が１００重量部である。
【００３２】
次に、第３の実施例として、プレスによる圧縮度合を変え、密度が０．５４７ｇ／ｃｍ³の略フェルト状体からなる靴底部を得た。略フェルト状体における材料配合割合は、第１の実施例と同様、ゴム１００重量部に対しポリアミド系短繊維が１００重量部である。
以上の各実施例における略フェルト状体の密度及び硬さを表１にまとめて示す。
【００３３】
【表１】

【００３４】
表１で示される各実施例の略フェルト状体からなる各靴底部について、実際に靴本体に装着し、この靴を装用した作業者が防汚塗装面を歩く歩行試験を実施し、滑りにくさを評価した。評価は、◎印を全く滑らないもの、○印をほとんど滑らないもの、△印を少し滑るものとしている。この評価結果を表２左側に示す。また、各靴底部について、歩行試験後の摩耗状況も評価した。この評価結果（摩耗量）を表２右側に示す。
【００３５】
【表２】

【００３６】
なお、いずれの各実施例においても、歩行試験後における防汚塗装の厚さ変化を確認した結果、塗膜の厚さ減少はほとんど確認されず、塗装面に与える影響の小さいことが確認できた。また、靴本体と靴底部とを一体化させる面ファスナは、歩行試験全体を通して十分な接着性能を有し、一体状態を維持した。
【００３７】
各実施例における靴底部の滑りにくさについては、密度が小で最も柔らかい実施例１で最も滑りにくく、これに比べて硬質な実施例２でやや滑る場合が認められ、また、密度が大で最も硬質である実施例３では実施例２より滑りやすい結果となり、略フェルト状体が柔らかいほど滑りにくくなる性質が確認できた。
【００３８】
一方、靴底部の摩耗量については、最も柔らかい実施例１に比べて硬めの実施例２及び実施例３でより小さい値となっており、略フェルト状体が硬質であるほど摩耗しにくく耐久性に優れる性質が確認できた。摩耗量を実際の作業における耐久性に換算すると、実施例１は１〜２日間の作業に使用して交換の必要性が生じる状態であり、また、実施例２及び実施例３は３〜４日間の作業に使用して交換の必要性が生じる状態である。
これによって、所定の柔らかさとした略フェルト状体の靴底部で、所定の耐久性を確保しながら防汚塗装面に対する滑りにくさを得られることが確認できた。
【００３９】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a shoe that prevents slipping at the sole and allows the user to replace the sole, and in particular, can prevent slipping and can be easily removed by the user as the sole wears. It relates to exchangeable shoes.
[0002]
[Prior art]
If sea creatures such as barnacles and mussels adhere to the inner surface of water pipes that distribute seawater such as power plants, water quality deteriorates and obstruction of pipe work, and removal work requires a lot of labor. Antifouling coating has been performed as a measure to prevent adhesion of marine organisms to the inner surface.
[0003]
This antifouling paint is extremely slippery due to its characteristics, and conventionally, as a safety measure, only the worker's walking part was not coated with antifouling paint, but this walking part still contains marine life. Since adhesion is inevitable, antifouling coating on the entire inner surface of the water pipe has been proposed in recent years from the viewpoint of improving the working environment and reducing waste. In this case, it is necessary to use shoes having anti-slip properties that do not slip even when walking on the painted portion during work.
Conventionally, shoes that prevent slipping during walking have been used such as those with a smooth rubber bottom provided with wavy cuts, or rubber bottoms with glass fibers oriented perpendicular to the ground plane. .
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventional shoes are configured as described above, have insufficient ability to suppress slipping of the shoe sole, and have a problem that it is difficult to reliably prevent slipping on a very slippery antifouling coating surface. Another type of anti-slip shoe with protrusions protruding from the sole can damage the painted surface even though it can prevent slipping.Therefore, shoes that prevent slipping without scratching the antifouling painted surface without using protrusions on the sole It has been demanded.
[0005]
In order to minimize the effect on the antifouling paint surface while minimizing slipping, it is necessary to soften the sole. However, there is a problem that the shoe sole is worn violently, so that it can be used only for a short period of time in actual work and must be replaced. In this case, since it is inefficient in terms of cost if the entire shoe is replaced with the wear of the shoe sole, a shoe that can replace only the shoe sole portion is desired.
[0006]
Various shoes with interchangeable shoe soles have been proposed in the past, and a structure in which the shoe body and the shoe sole are integrated with a hook-and-loop fastener is common, but considerable force is required to peel the shoe sole from the shoe body. In addition, it is necessary to make a starting point for peeling off.
For this reason, there are cases where an auxiliary tool is used in which a shoe fastener is peeled off between the surface fastener on the shoe main body side and the surface fastener on the shoe sole side. Therefore, there is a problem that the fixing force of the shoe sole part is weakened and the shoe sole part may be detached from the shoe body.
[0007]
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and while being able to walk safely on the antifouling paint surface while preventing damage to the antifouling paint surface, the shoe sole can be easily replaced, An object of the present invention is to provide a shoe capable of eliminating the slip-proof deterioration associated with wear by exchanging the sole.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The shoe according to the present invention is a shoe comprising at least a shoe body that covers a foot and a shoe bottom portion that is detachably attached to the bottom side of the shoe body, wherein the shoe bottom portion is formed of an elastic porous material having water absorption. The bottom surface of the shoe body and the top surface of the shoe bottom portion are formed in a surface shape that is detachably engaged with each other, and is formed by a substantially band-shaped body having a predetermined width, and one surface and / or the other of the substantially belt-shaped body The surface of the shoe has a predetermined shape that is detachably engaged with the bottom surface of the shoe body and / or the top surface of the shoe bottom portion, and one end portion of the replacement assisting device protrudes toward the heel side of the shoe body. While engaging one surface and / or the other surface other than the one end with the bottom surface of the shoe main body and / or the upper surface of the shoe sole, the other than the one end portion of the replacement assisting means is between the shoe main body and the shoe bottom portion. And the one end is further on the back side of the shoe body In which freely it is fastened detachably to the minute.
[0009]
As described above, in the present invention, a substantially belt-like exchange assist having a bottom surface of the shoe body and / or a surface detachably engaged with the top surface of the shoe bottom portion between the shoe body and the shoe sole portion made of the elastic porous material. When replacing the worn shoe sole with the shoe in a state where one end of the replacement auxiliary means is fixed to the back side of the shoe body and the worn shoe sole is replaced, the end of the replacement auxiliary means is When it is separated from the rear side part of the shoe body, and the auxiliary replacement means is pulled away from the shoe body from this one end side, the engagement of the shoe sole with the shoe body is also released and the shoe sole can be removed from the shoe body. Thus, the replacement of the shoe sole can be easily performed without requiring a strong force, and the efficiency of the shoe sole replacement operation is improved. In addition, the water-absorbing elastic porous material that forms the sole of the shoe makes contact with the slippery surface and reliably catches the surface, preventing slipping and enabling safe walking.
[0010]
The shoe according to the present invention includes a pair of surface fasteners that are integrally fixed to the bottom side of the shoe main body and the upper side of the shoe bottom portion, respectively, and detachably engage with each other, as necessary.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a shoe according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an essential part of a shoe body attached to a replacement auxiliary means in the shoe according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a shoe according to the present embodiment. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the shoe according to the present embodiment in the middle of removal of the shoe sole portion.
[0018]
In each of the drawings, a shoe 1 according to the present embodiment is a shoe body 2 that covers a foot, and is attached to the bottom side of the shoe body 2 so as to be detachable, and is a substantially felt-like shoe made of rubber and predetermined short fibers. The bottom 3 and the front and back surfaces of the shoe main body 2 and the upper surface of the shoe bottom 3 are each provided with a substantially band-shaped replacement assisting means 4 that is a surface fastener that is detachably engaged with the bottom.
[0019]
The shoe body 2 has a configuration in which a hook-and-loop fastener 2a is integrally disposed on the bottom side in the same manner as a body portion in a known shoe sole-replaceable shoe. A part of the bottom surface fastener 2a is extended and disposed within a predetermined range.
The shoe sole portion 3 is formed by integrally fixing a surface fastener 3a, which is detachably engaged with the upper surface of a shoe-shaped substantially felt-like body, corresponding to the surface fastener 2a on the shoe body 2 bottom side. . The substantially felt-like body is obtained by adding a vulcanization accelerator to unvulcanized rubber, kneading predetermined short fibers with a roll, first forming the kneaded raw material into a sheet shape, and then cutting it into a predetermined size. It is formed by performing press vulcanization while molding into a shoe sole shape.
[0020]
The short fiber is a polyamide-based or saturated polyester-based synthetic fiber, has a length of 5 to 30 mm, a thickness of 5 to 15 μm, and is blended in an amount of 20 to 120 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of rubber. The final substantially felted density is about 0.3 to 0.5 g / cm ³ .
The replacement auxiliary means 4 sews and integrates another pair of surface fasteners that detachably engage with the surface fastener 2a on the bottom side of the shoe main body 2 and the surface fastener 3a on the upper side of the shoe sole 3 respectively. It is the structure formed. One end portion of the replacement assisting means 4 serves as a knob portion when the surface fastener corresponding to the surface fastener 2 a on the bottom side of the shoe main body 2 is looped back and fixed and removed from the shoe main body 2.
[0021]
Next, attachment and detachment of the shoe sole in the shoe of this embodiment will be described. First, with respect to the attachment of the shoe sole 3 to the shoe main body 2, the surface fastener 2a and the shoe on the bottom side of the shoe main body 2 with one end of the replacement assisting means 4 protruding from the heel side of the shoe main body 2 by a predetermined length. The surface fasteners on the respective surfaces of the replacement auxiliary means 4 corresponding to the surface fasteners 3 a on the upper side of the bottom part 3 are engaged, and the replacement auxiliary means 4 is sandwiched between the shoe body 2 and the shoe bottom part 3. Further, one end portion of the replacement assisting means 4 protruding to the heel side is fixed to the heel rear side portion of the shoe body 2 by the engagement of the surface fasteners.
[0022]
In the shoe 1 according to the present embodiment that is ready for use in this manner, the bottom surface of the shoe bottom portion 3 of the soft, substantially felt-like body comes into contact with the slippery surface to reliably catch the surface and suppress slippage. And the one end part of the replacement | exchange auxiliary | assistant means 4 is fastened to the back side part of the shoe main body 2, and it does not step on this one end part accidentally during use. With use, the bottom surface of the soft shoe sole 3 is worn and the thickness of the shoe sole 3 is reduced. However, if the part of the substantially felt-like body having anti-slip properties is lost, it becomes dangerous because it becomes slippery. The shoe sole 3 is replaced with a new shoe sole 3 in a state in which the shoe sole 3 is worn until just before the portion of the substantially felt-like body disappears due to further wear.
[0023]
For removing the shoe sole 3 from the shoe main body 2 when the worn shoe sole 3 is replaced, first, one end portion of the auxiliary replacement means 4 is pinched and pulled away from the rear side portion of the shoe main body 2. Further, when the replacement assisting means 4 is pulled away from the bottom surface of the shoe main body 2 from the one end portion, the engagement of the shoe sole portion 3 with the shoe main body 2 together with the replacement assisting means 4 is released from the heel side. The shoe sole 3, which is partly separated from the shoe body 2, can be easily detached from the shoe body 2 by peeling off the shoe sole 3 as it is.
[0024]
As described above, the shoe according to the present embodiment is detachably engaged between the shoe main body 2 and the shoe sole 3 with the surface fastener 2a on the shoe main body 2 bottom side and the surface fastener 3a on the shoe sole 3 upper side. When replacing the worn shoe sole portion 3 with the replacement assisting means 4 made of a hook-and-loop fastener interposed therebetween, when the replacement assisting device 4 is pulled away from the shoe body 2 from one end, Since the engagement with the shoe main body 2 is also eliminated and the shoe sole 3 can be removed from the shoe main body 2, the shoe sole 3 can be easily replaced, and the efficiency of exchanging the shoe sole 3 is improved. Further, the fasteners on the respective surfaces engage with each other in a state where the replacement auxiliary means 4 is sandwiched between the shoe main body 2 and the shoe sole portion 3, and the shoe main body 2 and the shoe sole portion 3 are securely connected even at the arrangement position of the replacement auxiliary means 4. Therefore, the risk of the shoe sole 3 being detached from the shoe body 2 during use can be significantly reduced.
[0025]
Further, in the shoe according to the present embodiment, the shoe sole 3 is formed into a substantially felt-like body having a predetermined density made of rubber and short fibers, and a large number of voids are generated between the short fibers fixed together. Because the short fibers in an irregular orientation are softly in contact with the slippery surface as a shoe sole, it is excellent in water absorption, and the slippery surface can be surely captured, exhibiting anti-slip properties without damaging the surface Therefore, it is possible to walk safely without slipping on the surface, and the hardness as a shoe sole is appropriate, and the entire shoe sole is provided with necessary and sufficient durability.
[0026]
In the shoe according to the above-described embodiment, the short fibers used for the substantially felt-like body forming the sole 3 are within a predetermined length and thickness range, and the density as the substantially felt-like body is about 0. 3 to 0.5 g / cm ³ , preferably, the length of the short fiber is 20 mm, the thickness is 10 to 15 μm, and 100 parts by weight of the short fiber is blended with 100 parts by weight of rubber. The density of the substantially felt-like body finally obtained is about 0.3 g / cm ³ . In this case, the shoe sole is relatively soft and difficult to slide, and the shoe sole portion 3 as a whole is able to exhibit the maximum slip resistance while ensuring the durability of the entire shoe sole 3. The safety as a shoe can be greatly improved.
[0027]
Further, in the shoe according to the above-described embodiment, a substantially felt-like body is used as the elastic porous material forming the shoe sole portion 3, but the present invention is not limited to this, and an open-cell structure urethane foam is used as the elastic porous material. It can also be set as the structure to be used, the manufacturing process of the shoe sole part 3 can be simplified, and the cost reduction as a product can be aimed at.
[0028]
Further, in the shoe according to the embodiment, the substantially felt-like body forming the shoe sole portion 3 is formed of rubber and short fibers. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and glass fiber or carbon is contained in the substantially felt-like body. Reinforcing fibers such as fibers are arranged, and the hardness of the felt-like body can be kept as it is to strengthen the connection between short fibers to increase the strength, while maintaining the anti-slip property as a shoe sole as it is, Short fibers are less likely to fall off, and the wear resistance of the shoe sole 3 can be improved.
[0029]
Further, in the shoe according to the above embodiment, the direction of each short fiber included in the substantially felt-like body forming the shoe sole portion 3 is irregular, but in addition to this, the short fiber of the substantially felt-like body has a predetermined direction. It is also possible to provide a structure that imparts an orientation to the surface, and the difficulty of slipping can be further improved depending on the nature of the slippery surface.
Further, in the shoe according to the embodiment, polyamide-type or polyester-type synthetic fiber is used as the short fiber of the substantially felt-like body forming the shoe sole portion 3, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and wear resistance is used as the short fiber. It is also possible to adopt a configuration using fibers made of a functional material (aramid resin, glass, carbon). The wear of the short fiber itself due to friction can be suppressed, and the durability of the shoe sole 3 can be enhanced.
[0030]
【Example】
Regarding the shoes according to the present invention, the evaluation results comparing the slip resistance based on the difference in density of the substantially felt-like bodies forming the shoe bottom will be described.
The shoe sole portion of the shoe according to the present invention was compared for slip resistance by changing the density of the substantially felt-like body forming the shoe sole portion. As a first example, a shoe sole portion made of a substantially felt-like body having a density of 0.333 g / cm ³ was obtained. The material blending ratio in the substantially felt-like body is 100 parts by weight of the polyamide short fibers with respect to 100 parts by weight of the rubber.
[0031]
Next, as a second example, the degree of compression by a press was changed to obtain a shoe sole portion made of a substantially felt-like body having a density of 0.489 g / cm ³ . The material blending ratio in the substantially felt-like body is 100 parts by weight of the polyamide short fibers with respect to 100 parts by weight of the rubber as in the first embodiment.
[0032]
Next, as a third example, the degree of compression by a press was changed to obtain a shoe sole portion made of a substantially felt-like body having a density of 0.547 g / cm ³ . The material blending ratio in the substantially felt-like body is 100 parts by weight of the polyamide short fibers with respect to 100 parts by weight of the rubber as in the first embodiment.
The density and hardness of the substantially felt-like body in each of the above examples are summarized in Table 1.
[0033]
[Table 1]

[0034]
About each shoe sole part which consists of the substantially felt-like body of each Example shown by Table 1, it actually mounts | wears with a shoe main body, the worker who wears this shoe carries out the walk test which walks an antifouling coating surface, and slips. Evaluation was made. In the evaluation, ◎ marks do not slide at all, ○ marks hardly slide, and △ marks slightly slip. The evaluation results are shown on the left side of Table 2. Moreover, about the shoe sole part, the wear condition after the walking test was also evaluated. The evaluation result (wear amount) is shown on the right side of Table 2.
[0035]
[Table 2]

[0036]
In each example, as a result of confirming the change in the thickness of the antifouling coating after the walking test, almost no decrease in the thickness of the coating film was confirmed, and it was confirmed that the effect on the painted surface was small. . Moreover, the hook-and-loop fastener that integrates the shoe main body and the shoe sole has sufficient adhesion performance throughout the walking test and maintained an integrated state.
[0037]
Regarding the difficulty of slipping of the shoe sole portion in each example, the case where the density is small and the softest example 1 is the most difficult to slip, and the hard example 2 is slightly slippery compared to this, and the density is large. The hardest example 3 was more slippery than the example 2, and it was confirmed that the softer the felt-like body is, the more difficult it is to slip.
[0038]
On the other hand, the amount of wear on the shoe sole is smaller in the harder Examples 2 and 3 than in the softest Example 1, and the harder the felt-like body is, the harder it is to wear and the durability. The property which was excellent in was able to be confirmed. When the amount of wear is converted into durability in actual work, Example 1 is used for work for 1 to 2 days and needs to be replaced, and Examples 2 and 3 are 3-4. It is in a state where it needs to be used for daily work.
Thus, it was confirmed that it was possible to obtain the difficulty of slipping on the antifouling coating surface while ensuring the predetermined durability at the sole part of the substantially felt-like body having a predetermined softness.
[0039]
