Description

The present invention relates to a foot cover and a method for manufacturing the foot cover.

Two-piece foot covers formed by joining two pieces of fabric are known. Two-piece foot covers are generally formed by sewing together a sole fabric that covers the sole of the wearer's foot and a side fabric that covers the other parts of the foot with a sewing machine.

Regarding this type of foot cover, Patent Document 1 describes a seamless foot cover formed by joining two pieces of fabric with adhesive tape. Patent Document 2 describes legwear formed by sewing together pieces of fabric shaped to fit the left and right halves of the foot in the middle.

However, conventional foot covers have the following problems: the joints where the fabrics are joined together reduce comfort when worn, and the productivity of the foot covers decreases.

For example, in the foot cover described in Patent Document 1, there are joints between the fabrics at the periphery of the sole and at the heel. This impairs the elasticity of the foot cover as a whole, making it less comfortable to wear. In addition, the joints between the fabrics are formed three-dimensionally across multiple planes. This requires a process of manually joining the fabrics together, which reduces productivity.

In addition, the legwear described in Patent Document 2 requires that the two pieces of fabric be joined together in a side view, except for the opening. This results in a large number of joints, which reduces the stretchability of the fabric and reduces comfort.

One aspect of the present invention aims to provide a foot cover that reduces the number of joints between fabrics, thereby preventing a decrease in comfort and improving productivity.

In order to solve the above problems, a foot cover according to one aspect of the present invention is a foot cover including a toe portion that covers the toes of the foot, a heel portion that covers the heel of the foot, and a plantar portion that covers the sole of the foot, and a main body portion having an opening for putting the foot in and out formed on the opposite side to the plantar portion, and the main body portion has a joint formed on a part of the outer edge excluding the opening when viewed from the side in a state where the main body portion is folded along a center line that divides the main body portion into two equal parts in the foot width direction, and the joint is formed along the toe side outer edge, which is the outer edge from the toe portion to the toe side end of the opening, and the heel side outer edge, which is the outer edge from the heel portion to the heel side end of the opening, or along the plantar side outer edge, which is the outer edge of the sole portion.

In order to solve the above problems, a manufacturing method of a foot cover according to one aspect of the present invention is a manufacturing method of a foot cover including a toe portion covering the toes of the foot, a heel portion covering the heel of the foot, and a plantar portion covering the sole of the foot, and including a main portion having an opening for putting the foot in and out formed on the opposite side of the plantar portion, the manufacturing method includes a forming process of forming a fabric constituting the main portion, and a joining process of folding the formed fabric along a center line that divides the fabric into approximately two equal parts in the foot width direction, and joining a part of the outer edge of the fabric excluding the opening to form the main portion, in which the joining process joins the fabric along the toe side outer edge, which is the outer edge from the toe portion to the toe side end of the opening, and the heel side outer edge, which is the outer edge from the heel portion to the heel side end of the opening, or the fabric is joined along the plantar side outer edge, which is the outer edge of the sole portion, of the outer edges.

According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to prevent deterioration in the comfort of the foot cover and improve productivity.

[Embodiment 1]
<Configuration of foot cover 100>
An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 1 to 3. Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a foot cover 100 according to this embodiment when worn. Figure 2 is a development view showing the shape of the fabric 1 of the foot cover 100. Figure 3 is a side view showing the foot cover 100 folded in the foot width direction as viewed from the outer side portion 4B side.

As shown in FIG. 1, the foot cover 100 according to this embodiment is a foot cover equipped with a main body 101 including a toe portion 2 covering the toes of the foot F, a heel portion 3 covering the heel of the foot F, two side portions 4 (4A and 4B) covering both sides of the foot F, and a plantar portion 5 covering the sole of the foot F. The main body 101 is formed with an opening 6, which is an opening for inserting and removing the foot F, on the side opposite the plantar portion 5. Of the side portions 4, the portion covering the side of the big toe side of the foot F is the inner side portion 4A, and the portion covering the side of the little toe side of the foot F is the outer side portion 4B.

In the following description, the state in which the main body 101 (foot cover 100) is folded in the foot width direction refers to the state in which the main body 101 is folded along a center line R that approximately bisects the main body 101 in the foot width direction so that the inner side 4A and the outer side 4B, which are the left and right side portions 4, face each other. This center line R may be any line that approximately bisects the main body 101 in the foot width direction, and includes a line that bisects the main body 101 in the foot width direction and a line that is slightly deviated from the line. In other words, the center line R is a line that extends in the foot length direction and passes through approximately the midpoint of the main body (sole portion 5) in the foot width direction.

As shown in FIG. 2, the main body 101 according to this embodiment is composed of a single piece of fabric 1 cut into a desired shape. In the fabric 1, the side indicated by the symbol P is the toe 2 side of the main body 101, while the side indicated by the symbol Q is the heel 3 side of the main body 101. The fabric 1 is in a shape in which the sole 5 side is connected when unfolded. The fabric 1 has a first joined portion 11 and a second joined portion 12 on the outer edge on the toe side. The fabric 1 also has a third joined portion 13 and a fourth joined portion 14 on the outer edge on the heel side. The first joined portion 11 and the second joined portion 12, as well as the third joined portion 13 and the fourth joined portion 14, are symmetrical with respect to the center line R that divides the fabric 1 into approximately two equal parts to the left and right. The two outer edges of the fabric 1 that face each other across the center line R, indicated by the reference symbol 15, are not joined together and form the opening 6 of the main body 101.

3, the main body 101 is formed into a bag shape capable of accommodating the foot F by joining only a part of the outer edge 10 excluding the opening 6 in a side view when folded in the foot width direction. In this embodiment, the main body 101 has a first joining portion (joining portion) 7 that joins the toe side ends of the fabric 1 along the toe side outer edge from the toe portion 2 to the toe side end 6A of the opening 6. In addition, the main body 101 has a second joining portion (joining portion) 8 that joins the heel side ends of the fabric 1 along the heel side outer edge from the heel portion 3 to the heel side end 6B of the opening 6. The first joining portion 7 is formed by joining the first joining portion 11 and the second joining portion 12 shown in FIG. 2. In addition, the second joining portion 8 is formed by joining the third joining portion 13 and the fourth joining portion 14 shown in FIG. 2.

In this way, the outer edge 10 of the main body 101, the toe side outer edge and the heel side outer edge of the main body 101 are joined together to form the main body 101 into a bag-like shape capable of containing the foot F.

The fabric 1 of the main body 101 may be any material that has elasticity, and is preferably a knitted fabric, but may also be a woven fabric. The material of the fabric 1 may be, for example, nylon or polyester. The shape of the fabric 1 may be symmetrical with respect to the center line R as shown in FIG. 2, but if the shape of the main body 101 is to be matched to the shape of the left and right feet F, the fabric 1 may be asymmetrical. Furthermore, if a fabric that does not require finishing of the cut portion (hereinafter, raw cut fabric) is used as the fabric 1, there is no need to perform processing to prevent the end of the opening 6 from unraveling during the manufacture of the main body 101. For this reason, it is preferable to use raw cut fabric as the fabric 1.

The foot cover 100 may have an anti-slip portion 9 formed of a material having a higher frictional force against the foot F than the fabric 1 on the inside of the heel portion 3. This can reduce slippage and falling off of the foot cover 100, and can prevent a decrease in comfort due to slippage and falling off. The material of the anti-slip portion 9 is not particularly limited as long as it has a higher frictional force than the fabric 1. For example, a material such as silicon can be used for the anti-slip portion 9. The anti-slip portion 9 may be attached to the fabric 1 before the main body portion 101 is joined, or may be attached to the fabric 1 after the main body portion 101 is joined.

The first and second joints 7 and 8 may be formed inside or outside the main body 101. When the first and second joints 7 and 8 are formed inside the main body 101, the first and second joints 7 and 8 are not visible from the outside. This improves the aesthetics of the foot cover 100. On the other hand, when the first and second joints 7 and 8 are formed outside the main body 101, the first and second joints 7 and 8 do not come into contact with the foot F, improving comfort.

The method of forming the first joint 7 and the second joint 8, i.e., the method of joining the fabric 1, may be sewing or non-seamless joining. Non-seamless joining can increase the elasticity of the foot cover 100 compared to sewing. Here, sewing refers to a general method of joining fabrics together using a thread-like separate material, and the method of joining (seaming) and the type of thread are not limited. Non-seamless joining is, for example, ultrasonic fusion, application of adhesive tape, heat fusion, printing, or application of adhesive. As an example, the foot cover 100 is formed by printing an adhesive on the first joined part 11 or the second joined part 12, overlapping the first joined part 11 and the second joined part 12, and then applying heat to the overlapped parts to fuse them. In this case, polyurethane is used as an example of an adhesive. Specific contents of examples of other joining methods will be described later. Note that the joining method is not limited to the above-mentioned method, and other methods may be used.

Below, an example of a method for joining the foot cover 100 will be described. Note that in the following explanation, the first joined part 11 and the second joined part 12 shown in FIG. 2 are joined, but the same applies to the third joined part 13 and the fourth joined part 14. Note that the adhesion at each joined part is not limited to a linear, dotted, or wavy shape, for example. However, dotted adhesion is more preferable because it does not inhibit the stretchability of the fabric.

(Ultrasonic welding)
The first and second joined parts 11 and 12 are joined by, for example, ultrasonic welding. Ultrasonic welding is a method in which the first and second joined parts 11 and 12 of the fabric 1 are overlapped and subjected to ultrasonic vibration and pressure to generate frictional heat at the joining surface of the fabric 1, which melts and joins them instantly. When ultrasonic welding is used for joining, synthetic fibers such as nylon or polyester are used for the fabric 1 of the foot cover 100.

(Joining member)
The first joined portion 11 and the second joined portion 12 may be joined by using, for example, an adhesive tape. The adhesive tape is made of an adhesive material such as an acrylic or silicone resin or a synthetic rubber, and the adhesive tape is heat-sealed by using a seam tape sewing machine or the like to join the fabrics 1 together.

(Heat fusion)
The first and second joined parts 11 and 12 may be joined by, for example, heat fusion. Heat fusion is a method of overlapping the first and second joined parts 11 and 12 of the fabric 1 and applying heat to the overlapped part to fuse them together. This method allows the fabric 1 to be bonded without impairing its elasticity.

(glue)
The first and second joined parts 11 and 12 may be joined by, for example, an adhesive. The first and second joined parts 11 and 12 of the fabric 1 are overlapped, and an adhesive is applied to the overlapped part using a jet applicator or the like, and they are joined by thermal fusion. Alternatively, they may be joined by applying an adhesive that can be bonded without heating. The adhesive may be a liquid type resin, a film type or a powder type adhesive, or the like. The adhesive may be made of polyurethane, nylon, polyamide, ethylene vinyl acetate, olefin, styrene, or butadiene, or the like.

<Method of manufacturing the foot cover 100>
A method for manufacturing the foot cover 100 according to this embodiment will be described below. The method for manufacturing the foot cover 100 includes a forming process of cutting a fabric that is to be the material of the foot cover 100 and forming the fabric 1 in a desired shape, and a joining process of joining the fabric 1 to form the main body 101.

In the manufacturing method of the foot cover 100, first in the forming process, a stretchable fabric is cut along a desired pattern to form a substantially flat, seamless fabric 1. The shape of the cut fabric 1 is, for example, the shape shown in FIG. 2.

Next, in the joining process, the cut fabric 1 is folded along the center line R that divides the fabric 1 into approximately two equal parts in the foot width direction, and part of the outer edge of the fabric 1, excluding the opening 6, is joined to form the main body 101. Specifically, the first joined part 11 and the second joined part 12 are joined to form the first joined part 7. In addition, the third joined part 13 and the fourth joined part 14 are joined to form the second joined part 8. This forms the bag-shaped main body 101 that can accommodate the foot F.

In the joining process, the first joining portion 11 and the second joining portion 12 may be overlapped and ultrasonically welded together, and the excess overlapping portion of the welded area may be cut off to form the first joining portion 7. Furthermore, when the foot cover 100 is viewed from the heel portion 3 side, a strip-shaped joining material may be attached to the first joining portion 7 along the direction in which the first joining portion 7 extends. The first joining portion 7 may be joined by the strip-shaped joining material. This allows the thickness of the first joining portion 7 to be made thinner, improving comfort. The same applies to the second joining portion 8.

<Effects of the foot cover 100>
The foot cover 100 according to this embodiment includes a toe portion 2 covering the toes of the foot F, a heel portion 3 covering the heel of the foot F, and a plantar portion 5 covering the sole of the foot F, and is provided with a main body portion 101 having an opening 6 for inserting and removing the foot F formed on the opposite side to the plantar portion 5. In a side view of the main body portion 101 folded along a center line R that approximately bisects the main body portion 101 in the foot width direction, a first joint portion (7) and a second joint portion (8) are formed on a part of the outer edge 10 excluding the opening 6. The first joint portion (7) is formed on the toe side outer edge of the outer edge 10 extending from the toe portion 2 to the toe side end 6A of the opening 6, and the second joint portion (8) is formed along the heel side outer edge extending from the heel portion 3 to the heel side end 6B of the opening 6.

The foot cover 100 has a main body 101 formed by joining the first and second joinable parts 11 and 12 to the third and fourth joinable parts 13 and 14 in a joining process. Because of this, the foot cover 100 has fewer joinable parts than conventional foot covers, and the elasticity of the fabric is less likely to be compromised.

In addition, the first joint 7 and the second joint 8 are located on approximately the same plane. This makes joining easier than with conventional foot covers, where joints are formed across multiple three-dimensional planes, and the fabric can be joined with a single alignment. This simplifies the joining process in the manufacture of the foot cover 100, and improves productivity compared to conventional methods.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide a foot cover 100 that reduces the number of joints, suppresses deterioration in comfort, and improves productivity.

<Modification>
In the above-described embodiment, the main body 101 is formed by joining the fabric 1 of the outer edge of the toe part 2 and the heel part 3, but the main body 101 may be formed by joining other parts. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a foot cover 100A in a worn state according to a modified example of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 4, the foot cover 100A has a third joining part 16 on the sole part 5.

Figure 5 is a development view showing the shape of fabric 1A. As shown in Figure 5, fabric 1A has a fifth joined portion 17 on one side of the region from the toe side end to the heel side end at the outer edge, and a sixth joined portion 18 on the other side. The main body portion 101 is formed into a bag shape capable of accommodating the foot F by joining the fifth joined portion 17 and the sixth joined portion 18 of fabric 1A. As an example, fabric 1A has an elliptical shape symmetrical with respect to the center line R as shown in Figure 5. Fabric 1A has an elliptical opening symmetrical with respect to the center line R at a position close to the heel side end. In fabric 1A, the portion where the fifth joined portion 17 and the sixth joined portion 18 are joined becomes the third joined portion 16 of the main body portion 101 shown in Figure 4.

Figure 6 is a diagram showing the foot cover 100A folded in the foot width direction as viewed from the outer side edge 4B side. As shown in Figure 6, when the foot cover 100A folded in the foot width direction is viewed from the outer side edge 4B side, the third joint 16 is located at the outer edge 10 of the foot cover 100A. In other words, in the foot cover 100A, the outer edge 10 is joined from the toe side end to the heel side end of the sole part 5. At this time, the third joint 16 is formed on approximately the same plane, so that the entire main body part 101 of the foot cover 100A is formed by joining it once. This simplifies the joining process in the manufacture of the foot cover 100A, and improves productivity compared to the conventional method.

The shape of the fabric 1A for forming the foot cover 100A is not limited to the above. The shape of the fabric 1A may be any shape that allows the third joint 16 to be formed on the sole 5 when the entire body 101 is formed.

In the above-described embodiment, the main body 101 of the foot cover 100 is made of only one piece of fabric 1, but a material such as a fabric other than the fabric 1 may be added. That is, the foot cover 100 may have a different fabric 1B layered on the main body 101. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a foot cover 100B in a worn state according to a modified example. As shown in FIG. 7, in the foot cover 100B, a different fabric 1B is layered on the sole portion 5 of the main body 101.

Figure 8 is a diagram showing the state in which fabric 1B is added to fabric 1. As an example, as shown in Figure 8, fabric 1B made of a cotton blend material or the like may be placed on the part of fabric 1 that corresponds to the sole 5, and fabric 1B may be joined to fabric 1 at the same time as joining the first joining portion 7 and the second joining portion 8. Specifically, adhesive or the like is applied to the outer edge of fabric 1B, and fabric 1B is placed so that the side to which the adhesive is applied is in contact with fabric 1. Next, fabric 1 and fabric 1B are folded along center line R. At this time, fabric 1 is folded so that fabric 1B is sandwiched between fabric 1B. After that, fabric 1 and fabric 1B are heated and thermocompressed. This allows the formation of foot cover 100B in which fabric 1B is additionally joined to sole 5. When manufacturing foot cover 100B, it is preferable to use a seamless joining method in order to reduce the number of manufacturing steps.

According to the above-mentioned method, even when the fabric 1B is laminated, the entire foot cover 100B can be formed by one joining process, so there is no need to add a separate joining process, and high productivity can be maintained. The laminated fabric 1B may be made of a material other than a cotton blend fabric. For example, the fabric 1B may be laminated with a material having moisture absorption and water absorption properties to suppress stuffiness, a material having deodorizing properties, a material having cushioning properties, or a non-slip material to reduce the slippage between the sole 5 and other parts of the foot cover 100B. This can further improve the comfort of the foot cover 100B. The part where the fabric 1B is laminated does not have to be the sole 5. For example, the foot cover 100B may be formed by laminating and joining the fabric 1B made of a material having cushioning properties in the area forming the toe part 2 of the fabric 1.

[Embodiment 2]
Other embodiments of the present invention will be described below. For ease of explanation, the same reference numerals are given to members having the same functions as those described in the above embodiment, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

Figure 9 is a perspective view showing the appearance of foot cover 100C according to this embodiment when worn. Figure 10 is a diagram showing the shapes of fabric 1C and fabric 1D. As shown in Figure 9, foot cover 100C according to this embodiment is made up of multiple pieces of fabric, and in addition to the configuration of foot cover 100, fourth joints 19 are formed on both sides of side edge portion 4 and on sole portion 5.

As shown in FIG. 10, the foot cover 100C according to this embodiment is constructed by joining two pieces of fabric: fabric 1C (toe side fabric) including the toe portion 2, and fabric 1D (heel side fabric) including the heel portion 3. Fabric 1C has a first joined portion 11 and a second joined portion 12, and fabric 1D has a third joined portion 13 and a fourth joined portion 14. Fabric 1C further has a seventh joined portion 20 at the heel side end. Fabric 1D further has an eighth joined portion 21 at the toe side end. The seventh joined portion 20 and the eighth joined portion 21 are regions having shapes symmetrical with respect to a line perpendicular to the center line R.

By joining the seventh joining portion 20 and the eighth joining portion 21, fabric 1C and fabric 1D are connected. The fabric in which fabric 1C and fabric 1D are joined becomes a single piece of fabric of the same shape as fabric 1, and the part where the seventh joining portion 20 and the eighth joining portion 21 are joined becomes the fourth joining portion 19 of the side portion 4 of the foot cover 100C. The seventh joining portion 20 and the eighth joining portion 21 can be joined using a method similar to the method used to join the first joining portion 11 and the second joining portion 12.

In this way, the main body 101 may be made of a single piece of fabric, or may be made of multiple pieces of fabric.

<Modification>
In the above-described embodiment, a piece of fabric having a shape that divides the space between the end P of the toe portion 2 and the end Q of the heel portion 3 approximately equally is used, but the two pieces of fabric 1C and 1D may have any shape that allows them to be joined together to form the foot cover 100C. For example, fabric 1C may be a piece of fabric that includes only the area where the toe portion 2 is to be formed, and fabric 1D may be a piece of fabric that includes the areas that form the heel portion 3, the side portion 4, and the opening 6.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the foot cover 100C is described as having a first joint 7 and a second joint 8 on the toe 2 side and the heel 3 side, and is formed by joining two pieces of fabric 1C and 1D, but the joining locations are not limited to this.

Figure 11 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a modified foot cover 100D. As shown in Figure 11, the foot cover 100D has a third joint 16 on the sole portion 5 and a fourth joint 19 on the side portion 4.

Figure 12 is a diagram showing the shapes of fabric 1E and fabric 1F. Foot cover 100D is formed by joining two pieces of fabric 1E and fabric 1F front to back. Fabric 1E is the fabric on the side where toe portion 2 of foot cover 100D is formed, and fabric 1F is the fabric on the side where heel portion 3 of foot cover 100D is formed. By joining fabric 1E and fabric 1F, a fabric with the same shape as fabric 1A is formed.

As shown in FIG. 12, fabric 1E includes a fifth joining portion 17A, a sixth joining portion 18A, and a ninth joining portion 22. The ninth joining portion 22 is a region located at the heel side end of fabric 1E. Fabric 1F includes a fifth joining portion 17B, a sixth joining portion 18B, and a tenth joining portion 23. The tenth joining portion 23 is a region located at the toe side end of fabric 1F. By joining the ninth joining portion 22 and the tenth joining portion 23, fabric 1E and fabric 1F are joined to form a single piece of fabric having the same shape as fabric 1A. Note that there is no fabric near the center of the heel side end of fabric 1E and near the center of the toe side end of fabric 1F, so openings are formed. The openings become the openings 6 of the foot cover 100D.

By joining fabric 1E and fabric 1F, fifth joining portion 17A and fifth joining portion 17B are connected, forming a region of the same shape as fifth joining portion 17 in fabric 1A. In addition, sixth joining portion 18A and sixth joining portion 18B are connected, forming a region of the same shape as sixth joining portion 18.
