Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an aid for putting on and taking off shoes having a heel or a sufficiently thick sole in the heel area of the foot.

[Conventional technology]

In the past, shoes were traditionally put on using a shoehorn.

In the case of so-called laced shoes, the laces also had to be tied by hand and secured, for example in a bow, on the top of the foot. This conventional technique of shoeing in the case of so-called slip-on shoes and lace-up shoes is often inconvenient. This is particularly undesirable in countries where shoes must often be put on and taken off for religious or other cultural reasons, as is the case for example in Japan and Muslim countries. Additionally, many households prefer to take off their outdoor shoes before entering the residence. The procedure of putting on and taking off shoes is particularly difficult for the elderly, the disabled and the sick, as it requires bending over.

[Eight Points to be Solved by the Invention] The problem of the present invention is that it is not necessary to change the shape of conventional ordinary shoes, and the tailoring and quality can be maintained, and that special auxiliary means such as shoe horns or bow ties can be used. To provide a new type of putting on/off assisting means usable for slip-on shoes and lace-up shoes, which enables putting on and taking off shoes without manual movements.

[Means for solving problems]

This task consists of placing a heel lever on the heel of the shoe that can be operated when putting it on and taking it off, which heel lever can swing upwards and downwards in front or in the front area of the heel or heel area of the foot. , guided by a joint arranged in the sole of the shoe, the heel lever of the foot is preloaded upwards by an elastic element, a restraining element is arranged on the heel lever of the foot, and this restraining element is in the depressed position of the heel lever of the foot. The problem is solved by the fact that the restraint part is releasable by a restraint releasing head which is arranged in the heel of the shoe and can be operated from the outside.

A particularly simple embodiment of the invention provides that the foot heel lever, which can be pressed downwards when putting on the shoe, is provided at its rear end with upwardly projecting sliding aids which are elastically arranged on this foot heel lever. It consists in the fact that This greatly facilitates insertion, especially into shoes. When pressing down on the foot heel lever with the foot or the heel, a restraining core placed on the underside of the foot heel lever is automatically restrained. This restraint can be released by means of a restraint release button which is preferably located at the rear of the shoe heel and which protrudes slightly.

In this case, the release button can be operated, for example, with the other foot, so that there is no need to bend over when putting on or taking off shoes. The release button acting on the arresting mandrel is preferably preloaded by a spring, the legs of which engage the front part of the arresting part and the underside of the foot-heel lever. This practical example is particularly suitable for slip-on shoes.

Another grooved membrane of the donning and doffing aid according to the invention has on its underside:
It includes a foot heel lever with a captive core located preferably in the rear region, in which case a further lever is connected to the lower part, which lever can be slid backwards when the foot heel lever is pressed down. It will be done. The lower part of this lever has a shoelace attachment part into which the ends of the shoelace can be damaged on both sides of the foot. Preferably, this lever is preloaded by a tension spring supported on the anteriorized heel wall. Thereby, when the heel lever is pressed down, the shoelace or the end of the shoelace is pulled backwards, so that the shoe can be fixed automatically on the foot without any manual action being required. When taking off the shoe, for example, the other foot operates a release button that protrudes slightly from the lateralized heel wall, so that when taking off the shoe the heel lever swings upward under the tension of the spring. The shoelace is released by forward movement of the shoelace attachment.

Particularly advantageous is a further configuration of the inventive donning and doffing aid for laced shoes, in which the leading mechanism makes it very easy to take off the shoe. In this case, the lace knot is already loosened after the lace knot is released and before the heel lever swings upward. For this purpose, a jumping mechanism is used in the form of a lever mechanism, which moves the lace by spring force or by pressure from the heel of the foot. Due to the special configuration according to the invention,
The heel support piece and the shoelace attachment part can be held together at the same time. In this case, the entire mechanism is fixed to the heel of the shoe or a sufficiently thick sole. The double lever used in this example allows the lace to be partially released before the mechanism is released. But the foot-heel lever is still restrained in this case.

Furthermore, both levers ensure that during the tightening or lacing, sufficient pressure and stroke are obtained for a firm lacing in the final stages of lacing.

In this case, the spring tongue prevents the shorter of the two levers from swinging forward. Furthermore, the spring tongue facilitates upward swinging of the foot heel lever after the restraint is released. The foot-heel lever is preferably attached to the tongue by a joint.

This ensures a good upward swing and a precise introduction of the arresting mandrel into the engagement chamber. The required tension spring is fixed to the front wall of the shoe heel and is connected to the longer lever to preload this lever. The longer lever has lace attachments on both sides of the foot, but the ureper mechanism, which is located inside the shoe, is guided in a running rail, which lever mechanism also forms a spring housing and also has a sufficient The shoe reinforces the heel to ensure stability. F4
The iJ East release button can be placed in different locations on the heel of the shoe, but preferably in the inner region of the heel. The shoe with the donning and doffing aid according to the invention also has another advantage, as it allows good access to the jumping mechanism, e.g. due to the removable design of the shoe heel sole. It can be repaired by a professional without much difficulty.

Flat or round laces or laces can be used which are guided towards the instep on the side of the shoe wall. As a running track, the guide can be configured with a simple but advantageous spear. The lace knot itself can be formed in a color that corresponds to the configuration of the last. According to the present invention, the shoelace attachment part on the instep can also be selected so that the shoelace end can be adjusted according to the overall height.

〔Example〕

Further advantageous features of the invention emerge from the following description of three working examples and the drawings used for this purpose.

A shoe 1, partially shown in FIG. 1, in the form of a slip-on shoe, includes a sole 2 and a trailing heel 3. The invention is particularly suitable for shoes with a heel 3 of this type, but the invention can also be used for so-called heelless shoes, in which case a sole is not necessary in the heel area of the foot. Thick enough to accommodate large mechanisms. The heel portion 4 of the shoe 1 continues on the heel 3 of the shoe. In front of the heel 3 of the shoe, a heel lever 6 is arranged in a joint 5 on the sole 2 so as to be able to swing upward and downward, and a sliding aid 6a is elastically attached to the inside of the heel lever. ing. On the underside of the foot-heel lever 6, in the rear region, a downwardly projecting arresting mandrel 7 is shown, which engages in an engagement chamber 8b of a restraining part, for example a restraining latch 8.

The rear part of the restraint latch 8 is configured as a restraint release button 8a, which protrudes slightly beyond the rear part of the heel of the shoe, so that it can be released by pressing it with the other foot or against a fixed object, for example the leg of a chair. You can easily press the button. The arresting latch 8 is preloaded by a two-legged spring 9 which also preloads the foot heel lever 6 upwards, so that this foot heel lever is forced upwardly in the stretched state. It will be done. Each of these positions is indicated by an apostrophe.

When putting on the shoe, the heel lever 6 is pressed downwards against the pressure of the spring 9 by the foot or the heel of the foot, whereby the restraint core 7 is restrained. When taking off the shoe l, the release button 8a is pressed slightly inward against the pressure of the spring 9, as already mentioned above.

2 and 3a to 3c show a second embodiment according to the invention, which is suitable for integration into a shoe with laces, for example a shoe. The partially illustrated shoe 10 shows a shoe heel 12 adjoining a sole 11, which is provided with an inscription according to the invention. The foot heel portion 13 of the shoe 10 is shown above the shoe heel 12. A foot-heel lever 15 is guided in a joint 14 provided in the sole 11, which has a restraining core 16 on the underside of its other end. This restraining deposit is shoe 1
0, that is to say when pressing down on the heel lever 15, engages an elastic engagement chamber 17b of a restraint latch 17, which has in its rear region a restraint release button 17a protruding from the heel 12 of the shoe. . Furthermore, a lever 19 is provided on the lower surface of the heel lever 15 and projects diagonally rearward via a joint 20, and a shoelace attaching portion 21 is provided at the lower end of this lever. This lace attachment can be configured in such a way that a pin passing through the lever 19 is provided on each side of the heel for supporting the end 22 of the lace. The end of the lever 19 that holds the shoelace attaching part 21 is attached to the running rail 2 so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the shoe.
3 is connected to one end of a tension spring 18, the other end of which is fixed to the front heel wall of the shoe heel 12. As indicated by the apostrophe and by the dashed line, the lever 19 is pulled forward on the running rail 23 by the tension spring 18, so that the heel lever 15 is pressed upwards. The shoelace 22 is therefore loosened. When putting on the shoe 10, the heel lever 15 is pushed downward by the foot or the heel against the tension of the spring 18, and at this time the shoelace attachment part 21
is guided backwards, so when putting on the shoe 1O the shoelace 22
Tightening and thus fixing of the shoe 10 on the foot takes place in a self-exciting manner.

When taking off the shoes, it is sufficient to simply press the restraint release button 17a to release the restraint core 16. 38th
As can be seen from figures 3c to 3c, the restraint release button 1
7a, the elastic engagement chamber 17b is pushed forward or, as the case may be, spread out, so that according to FIG. It is pulled out from the engagement chamber 17b or released from this engagement chamber.

A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 10. In FIG. 4, the rear part of the laced shoe 24 is shown, with the sole 25 of the laced shoe followed by a heel 26. A heel lever 28 is swingably supported on the sole or tongue 25 via a joint 27. A projection 29 having a guide portion 3o is visible on the lower surface of the foot lever 28. In the guide 30 two levers 31 , 32 are supported together at one end via a pin 33 which can be moved back and forth in the longitudinal guide 30 . Preferably, lever 31 is longer than lever 32.

A spring tongue 34 attached to the sole or tongue 25 acts on the shorter lever 32, and this spring tongue runs over the lever 32 when the foot heel lever 28 is moved, and the tip 37
Press it against the sliding surface.

The spring tongue 34 engages the heel lever 28 when the heel bar 28 is depressed. long ten thousand lever 3

When putting on the shoe 24, the heel lever 28, which has been raised in FIG.
1 slides rearward in the guide slit 36. This results in a tightening of the shoelace and thus a self-sustaining fixation of the shoe when it is worn. By means of the restraining core 45a located at the rear of the foot heel lever 28, the third a
The locking of the heel lever 28 in the depressed position on the arresting latch 46 takes place in the manner described in connection with FIGS. 13 to 3C. In the embodiment described herein, the elongate restraint latch 46 is U-shaped and has a release button 48 at the rear that projects from the shoe heel 36. When this restraint release button is operated, the restraint latch 46 is pushed forward.

As can be seen in FIGS. 5 and 6, the guide part 35 with guide slits 36 on both sides is separated by a central guide slit 47 (FIG. 6).

In the worn state, that is, when the heel lever 28 is pressed down, the lever head 44 of the shorter lever 32
As best seen in FIG. 7b, each contacts an internal riding piece 52. Now, when the user wants to take off his shoes, the restraint release button 48 is pressed, and the vertically elongated U-shaped binding latch 46 slides forward. Thereby, the outwardly directed pressure surface 49, as shown in FIG. 7c,
The outer wings 53 of the spring receiver 50 are forced outwardly at the restraint latch 46 . By means of the tension spring 40, the lever head 44 is now drawn forward via the extended lever 31, 32, ie into the U-shaped spring receiver 50.

As a result, the end of the lace 43a, which is attached to the longer lever via the pin 38, is partially released in advance. When taking off the shoes, the foot heel lever 28 is activated by the spring 40.
The lower end of the longer lever 31, which holds the shoelace attachment part 43, is moved further forward, so that the shoelace 43a is completely loosened and the shoelace is tightened. Guaranteed to be easy to take off.

FIG. 6a shows together the shape of the levers 3], 32 which, in the assembled state, are connected together via the pin 33 to the longitudinal guide 30.
It is movable. No. 7a1m is the short lever 32 when the foot heel lever 28 is pushed down by f.
, the lever head 44 is pulled by the spring 40 via the longer lever 31 onto the inner ride-on piece 52.

Figures 9a to 9d show the lever 3 in various positions.
It shows 1.32. According to FIG. 9b, lever 31.
32 is extended, and by actuation of the release button 48 the lever head 44 of the shorter lever 32 has already been introduced forward into between the legs of the U-shaped spring receiver 50. Thereby, the shoelace is pre-loosened by the release across the traveler 51. Foot heel lever 2 due to the rise of the foot heel
