Description

  The present invention relates to a shoe with a devised mouth, which is suitable not only for a general person but also for a person who has a disability in the lower body, particularly the leg.

The shoe mouth is formed so as to surround the ankle in the horizontal direction along the upper upper edge that surrounds the left and right side surfaces, the front part (both with and without tongue), and the rear end part (buttock). This is because the entire upper part of the foot up to the vicinity of the heel is covered with the entire upper so as not to cause the shoes to fall off or shift and to exhibit sufficient walking and exercise performance.
However, in order to wear shoes, it is necessary to fix the shoes, push the foot forward while inserting the foot into the mouth, and push the heel downward. It is necessary to apply pressure in the longitudinal direction and the vertical direction on the foot. Even if the shoe has a configuration in which the front and back or sides are tightened with a string, a velvet fastener, or a rubber cloth (see the following patent document), if the stress associated with the operation of pressing the shoe against the foot is captured, the acting force to wear is basic. There is no change.

On the other hand, in the case of a person who has a serious disability in the lower body, especially the leg, it is often impossible to apply a tension force in the front-rear direction to the foot. Although the legs can be shifted together with the waist or upper body, pressurization of the legs is often a whole body exercise.
For this reason, a person who has a large disability can hardly wear shoes alone, and is currently wearing sandals and slippers that only hook the toes.

  The present inventor pays attention to the current situation as described above, and devised it so that even a person who has a serious disability in the lower body is relatively easy to wear by himself by shifting one foot to the left and right. I tried to develop shoes.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is configured such that the wear mouth is along the upper edge of one of the left and right side portions of the upper that wraps the foot portion, and the other side surface is a downward opening that reaches the vicinity of the contact portion. It is formed by forming a shoe.
The wear mouth is along the upper edge of one of the left and right side parts including the upper edge part of the upper back and rear end part of the upper that wraps the foot part, and the other side is a downward opening that reaches the vicinity of the contact part It is preferable to form as a part.
It is preferable that the lower opening on the other side has an opening front portion that is formed in a shape that is bent downward and forward from the upper edge of the front upper portion. It is preferable to form so as to reach the rear part of the joint part.
Moreover, it is preferable to form the opening lower end portion of the lower opening portion so as to be slightly higher than the upper surface of the inner bottom, and it is preferable to form it as a lower end edge portion that is moderately horizontal or gently inclined in the front-rear direction.

  According to the shoe of the present invention, the one side of the upper is closed and the foot can be stably protected, and the opening of the mouth only reaches the vicinity of the contact part and opens only on the other side, One side of the conventionally known shoe mouth is wide open sideways and downwards, and it does not require effort to push the toes and the entire foot into the shoe from the top, resisting the foot into the shoe from the side Can be positioned without any force, and the entire foot can be lightly accommodated in the shoe without any effort, which is very convenient for wearing.

If the upper side of the front part and the rear end part that follows one side part and the front and back ends are used as mouths, and the other side side is a lowering opening part, the shoes cover the legs with the upper in the wearing state at the same time. Since the foot is held at the front and back and upper heel, there is no risk of the shoes falling off.
If the downward opening is formed in a shape that hangs down from the upper edge of the front upper part to the front lower part, it can be easily inserted into the shoe while shifting the foot laterally from the fingertip, and can be easily stored in the shoe. If it is formed so that the lower end of the opening of the falling opening is located slightly higher than the upper surface of the inner bottom, the shoe can be caught slightly on the foot, preventing it from falling off, and stable wearing can do. In this way, it is particularly suitable as a shoe that can be easily worn by a person who has serious injuries to the lower body, particularly the legs, etc., and can be suitably used as a shoe that can be easily attached and detached even in the office even by ordinary people. Is.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Although the illustrated shoe is shown as a general-use boots type, the length of the shoe, the design form, the presence / absence of wearing a velvet-type fastener, and the like are arbitrary, and whether or not the front part has an open / close configuration is also arbitrary. This shoe has an upper 1 including a front part 2, side parts 3 and 4, and a heel part 5, a large bottom 6 and an inner bottom (insole) 7.

  One side of the upper (preferably the inner side of the foot = the side of the thumb), the upper edge 3a has the same height as that of a normal shoe, for example, the height just below the heel, and the upper upper edge 2a and the upper heel edge 5a Similarly, the lower opening 8 is formed in a curved state from the upper upper edge 2a and the upper upper edge 5a toward the other side surface 4 while being curved slightly higher. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the downward opening 8 is formed as a sufficiently large opening so that the foot can be easily inserted into the shoe while being shifted laterally from the toe side. A mouth is formed by being surrounded by the upper edge and the opening of the upper.

  The downward opening 8 is, for example, a large opening downward from the upper upper edge 2a in a slightly forward inclined state 8a, and becomes the deepest opening 8b toward the front at the rear portion of the little finger joint, The lower end leading to (the boundary between the upper and the shoe sole) is formed in a backward curved inclined state, and forward from the heel upper edge 5a to the vicinity of the contact portion below the deep opening 8b. The opening portion is shaped with a gradually downwardly inclined edge 8c, and an appropriately spaced portion (for example, a portion of about several centimeters) near the tip of the downwardly inclined edge has a height H (for example, slightly higher than the upper surface of the inner bottom 7). The lower part state 8d may be a height less than 1 cm).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a belt 9 having a folded upper edge is attached to the rear side of the collar portion 5 by sewing or bonding in the vertical direction, and a composite having appropriate flexibility in the upper edge portion. The ring can be attached so that the lower end of the pick ring 10 made of resin or the like is held.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the shoes having the above-described configuration are so arranged that the opening is opposed to the lateral side of the foot (or the lateral side of the foot if the downward opening is formed outside the shoe). The toe part is shifted from the thumb in the lateral direction (as shown by the arrow) and inserted into the shoe from the mouth including the opening, and the entire foot can be put in the shoe as it is. It is easy to shift the foot sideward, especially when moving the foot inward (thumb side), unlike when pressing forward. At this time, if the knob ring 10 can be picked up and pulled up, the foot is more likely to fit in the shoe. The ring is less resistant to handling if it has moderate elasticity.

The opening formed by the front inclined state 8a and the deep opening 8b is large enough to allow the front part of the foot to be inserted into the shoe, and the falling inclined edge 8c and the low part 8d are an open state in which the heel can be easily stored in the shoe. Although it is formed with the upper part so that the heel can be supported so that the shoe does not fall off from the worn state, it is easy to wear and the holding in the worn state is secured. .
The low portion 8d may not be formed, but if it is formed to have a height that only slightly catches the lateral portion of the sole, it contributes to preventing the shoe from falling off or coming off the foot. .

It is a side view of the shoes concerning the present invention. It is a top view of the shoes of FIG. It is the III-III sectional view taken on the line of FIG. It is a rear view of the shoe of FIG. It is a shoe top view which shows the process of putting on shoes. FIG. 6 is a similar side view of FIG. 5.
