Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention is based on Utility Application No. 164520 (1982) filed by the same applicant on October 27, 1988.
This article relates to a temperature adjustment device for footwear equipped with a heating device.

(Prior art) Conventional footwear cannot be worn barefoot in cold weather because it is cooled by cold air, and even if you wear socks to keep your feet warm, they feel cold. The only option was to wear thick socks, and for this reason many footwear made of heat-retaining fabrics were commercially available, but all of them had their pros and cons, and none of them had the desired heat-retaining effect.

In addition, in order to eliminate the drawbacks of conventional footwear mentioned above,
The applicant of the present invention has developed footwear with a heating device according to Utility Model Application No. 164520/1983, which improves the heat retention effect by inserting a metal foot plate with a heating device on the back side into the footwear and warming the footwear itself by the operation of the heating device. developed.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, conventional footwear has almost no effect on keeping feet warm, and the latter type of footwear with a heater has an extremely high heat retention effect, but the temperature cannot be adjusted. However, there were problems such as feeling uncomfortable when worn for a long time.

(Means for solving the problem) The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problem of footwear equipped with a heater that warms the footwear itself. Fitting holes are provided on the left and right side plates to fit the outer casing of the temperature regulator,
A foot plate made of a metal plate is equipped with a heater at the front of the back surface of the top plate and hooks at the rear end, with an opening at the top and through holes for air inflow and outflow facing both side walls. Cover the top surface of the footwear stand with a surface plate portion, and insert the hook claw into the hook hole cut into the heel side wall of the footwear stand to engage the shoe stand. In footwear with a heater, a temperature adjustment device that has a plurality of adjustment windows between an outer casing with a plurality of air inflow and outflow windows on the outer wall and a cylindrical box-shaped inner casing that fits into the outer casing. The outer casing of the temperature adjusting device is inserted and fixed into the fitting hole of the foot plate of the foot plate, and the temperature adjusting device with the sliding plate slidably held therebetween is inserted into the recessed cavity by moving the temperature adjusting sliding plate. This is a temperature adjustment device for footwear with a heater that can adjust the temperature of the footwear.Since the footplate of the footwear is made of metal plate, heat is easily transmitted, and the footplate can be used in the recessed part of the footwear stand with the heater facing down. When inserted into the shoe rack, since the space is drilled to the rear of the footwear stand, the heat generated by the heater reaches the back of the footwear stand, warming the footwear itself from both the foot plate and the space in the footwear stand. Heat is conducted to the feet of the person wearing the footwear through both the footplate and the holes provided in the footplate, increasing the heat retention effect, and by operating the temperature adjustment sliding plate of the temperature adjustment device, the temperature of the footwear itself can be adjusted. Adjustment can be easily made.

(Example) The present invention for achieving the above object will be explained by referring to the example shown in the drawings.

Form into.

On the back side of the outer wall 4 of the outer casing 1, there is an air inflow/outflow window 5a provided with a sliding plate moving grip 11 for holding the temperature adjusting sliding plate 2 and a recessed step 6 for locking the sliding plate. The inner casing 3 is inserted into the outer casing 1 from the inside, and the back surface of the outer wall 4 of the outer casing 1 and the front surface 15 of the inner casing 3 are used for temperature adjustment. The sliding plate 2 is slidably pressed and held, and the locking holes 14, 14 provided in the upper and lower side walls 13, 13 of the inner housing 3 are inserted into the inner wall surfaces of the upper and lower side walls 7, 7 of the outer housing 1. The provided locking protrusions 8, 8 are press-fitted, respectively, and the inner and outer casings 3,
2 is fixed to constitute the temperature regulator A of the present invention.

The footwear B is placed on the footwear stand 1 as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7.
The toe side wall 17, heel side wall 18, left and right side walls 19, 19, and bottom wall 20 of No. 6 are each left with an appropriate thickness to form a recessed cavity 21, and the left and right side walls 1 of the footwear stand 16 are
9 and 19, opposing through holes 22 and 22 for air inflow and outflow are provided at locations facing the front surfaces of the outer walls 4 and 4 of the outer casings 1 and 1 of the temperature adjustment devices A and A, respectively; A hook hole 25 is provided in the upper part of the heel side wall 18 into which a hook 24 protruding from the rear end of a foot plate 23, which will be described later, is inserted.

Note that 26 is a footwear sole that is attached to the lower surface of the footwear stand 16.

The foot plate 23 made of a light metal plate such as duralumin and shaped to cover the upper surface of the footwear stand 16 has a plurality of holes 28 , 28 . Foot plate left and right side plate parts 30, 30 with mounting parts of temperature regulators A and A bent in the direction of the back surface 29

The generated heat spreads throughout the interior of the recessed cavity 21 of the footwear stand 16 and warms the air within the cavity 21, and at the same time heats the footplate 23 made of a metal plate, thereby increasing the temperature of the footwear B.
In addition to warming the whole, the temperature inside the concave cavity 21 flows out through the holes 28, 28... bored in the foot plate 23, and the heat of the foot plate 23 and the holes 28, 28...
The foot of the person wearing the footwear B is kept warm by the hot air flowing out.If the heat generated from the heater C is too strong, the temperature adjustment sliding plate 2 of the temperature adjustment device A should be moved. Holding the plate moving grip part 11, move the sliding plate 2 in the X direction or Y direction as appropriate to open the through holes 22, 22... of the footwear stand 16 and the adjustment window of the temperature adjusting sliding plate 2. Pass through 10, 10..., footwear stand 1
The amount of outside air or warm air flowing in and out of the concave cavity 21 of No. 6 is adjusted to adjust the temperature within the concave cavity 21, thereby optimizing the heat retention effect of the footwear B.

(Effects) In this invention, the footwear itself is warmed by the heat generated by the heater, and furthermore, the footplate is warmed by the hot air in the recessed space between the footplate made of a metal plate and the footwear base, and the footplate is heated by the footplate. Heat is transmitted to the feet of the person wearing the footwear through the holes provided, and it has an extremely high heat retention effect, eliminating the need for troublesome things such as wearing thick socks even in cold weather. Since the temperature of the generated hot air can be adjusted as appropriate by operating the temperature adjustment tool, this has excellent effects such as allowing the footwear to be used in a comfortable condition at all times.
