Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the wearing and unwearing of shoes by providing a front part having a surface in a shape complementary to the surface of the heel, and a rear part having a surface in a shape complementary to the inner surface of the rear part of a shoe and arranged in parallel with the front part, and by binding these parts with each other while coupling a shaft thereto. CONSTITUTION:In a shoehorn for wearing and unwearing shoes, a rear part 3b having a surface in a shape complementary to the inner surface of the rear part 2a of a shoe is arranged in parallel with a front part 3a having a surface in a shape complementary to the surface of the heel 1a, with a gap therebetween, both parts being connected to each other in a U-like cross-sectional area so as to form a main section 3, and a shaft 4 is coupled to the top end of the main section 3. By gripping the shaft 4, the main section 3 is set into the rear part 2a of the shoe so that the rear part 2a of the shoe is held between the front and rear parts 3a, 3b, and when the toe 1b is inserted into the shoe 2, allowing the heel to slip down on the surface of the front part 3a, the shoe may be easily worn. If the shoe 2 is unworn, when the rear part 2a of the shoe is held between the front and rear parts 3a, 3b of the shoe while the shaft 4 is strongly pressed downward after main shaft 3a is set in the rear part 2a of the shoe, the main section 3 depresses the rear part 2a of the shoe, the heel 1a comes off from the insole of the shoe, and accordingly, the toe part may be easily taken out.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Fields] The present invention is a method for putting on and taking off shoes, which makes it easy to put on and take off shoes by applying it to the back of the shoe in a standing position without bending over. This is about a dual-purpose spatula.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when wearing shoes, a shoe spatula, which has a surface shape that matches the surface of the heel, has been used. When putting on shoes, this shoe spatula is inserted along the inner surface of the rear door of the shoe, and when the heel slides on the surface of the shoe, the shoe spatula can be inserted into the shoe, even if the shoe is a little tight. It is widely used because it allows the user to wear shoes easily without making direct contact with the rear part of the shoe, and does not bend or wear out the rear part of the shoe.

However, this shoe spatula is a tool for putting on shoes, and is not useful for taking off shoes, especially for people who have difficulty moving their bodies, such as the elderly, sick, and physically disabled people.
It is difficult to take off shoes by simply moving one's feet; the user must bend down, grasp the shoes with both hands, and pull them out, which is a considerable burden.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventional shoe spatulas do not have the functions described above that are useful when taking off shoes. There is a growing demand for shoes that can be used to put on and take off shoes, and also be able to take them off.

An object of the present invention is to provide a shoe spatula that can be used for both putting on and taking off shoes, which solves the above-mentioned problems.

[Means for solving the problem] This will be explained with reference to the drawings. In order to achieve the above object, the spatula for taking off and putting on shoes according to the present invention has a front part 3a having a surface shape that matches the surface of the heel 1a, and a surface that is parallel to the inner surface of the rear part 2a of the shoe with a gap therebetween. Rear part 3 with shape
b are arranged side by side, the upper part of the front part 3a and the rear part 3b are joined together so that the cross section forms a letter 0 shape, thereby forming the main part 3, and the handle 4 is joined to the upper end of the main part 3. It is.

[Function] When putting on shoes, hold the handle 4 in your finger or hand, insert the main part 3 into the rear part 3a of the shoe so that the front part 3a and the rear part 3b sandwich the rear part 2a of the shoe, and use a conventional shoe spatula. Similarly, toe 1b on shoe 2
If you push the heel la down and slide it down on the surface of the front part 3a, it will not come into direct contact with the rear part 2a of the shoe, and you can easily put on the shoe 2 even if it is a little cramped. Will not bend or wear out.

Also, when taking off the shoes 2, while standing, hold the handle 4 with your fingers or hands, insert the main part 3 into the rear part 2a of the shoe, sandwiching the rear part 2a between the front part 3a and the rear part 3b, and insert the handle 4 into the rear part 2a of the shoe. When pressed strongly downward, the main part 3 pushes down the rear part 2a of the shoe, the heel la is separated from the sole of the shoe 2, and the front part of the foot also comes off easily.

[Example] To explain the example with reference to the drawings, 1 is the foot, 1a
is the heel, ib is the toe, 2 is the shoe, and 2a is the rear part. The shoe spatula according to the present invention consists of a main part 3 and a handle 4 connected to the upper end of the main part 3, and may be made of plastic, wood, or metal.

The main g3 is a front part 3a having a surface shape matching the surface of the heel 1a, and a rear part having a shape matching the surface of the rear part 2a of the shoe, which is arranged parallel to the front part 3a with a gap. 3b are joined together so that their upper parts form a 0-shaped cross section.

Furthermore, the length of the handle 4 can be either long as shown in Figures 1 to 3 and designed to be placed in a doorway, etc., or short as shown in Figure 4 so that it can be stored in a pocket. be.

Next, the effect will be explained. When putting on shoes, as shown in Fig. 5, hold the handle 4 in your fingers or hands and insert the main part 3 into the rear part 2a of the shoe so that the front part 3a and the rear part 3b sandwich the rear part 2a of the shoe.
If you insert the toe 1b into the shoe 2 and lower the heel 1a while sliding the heel 1& on the surface of the front part 3a, as with the conventional shoe spatula, it will not come into direct contact with the rear part 2a of the shoe and will slip, making it a little uncomfortable. The shoe can be worn easily even when the shoe is thin, and the rear part 2a of the shoe is not bent or worn out.

When taking off the shoes 2, as shown in FIG.
Insert the main part 3 into the rear part 2a of the shoe so as to sandwich the part a, and press the handle 4 strongly downward, that is, in the direction shown by arrow C.The main part 3 pushes down the rear part 2a of the shoe, and the heel 2a separates from the sole of the shoe 2. The front part of the foot is also easy to remove. [Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, when the shoe 2 is put on, the shoe 2 does not come into direct contact with the rear part 2a of the shoe, but slips, as in the conventional case. When taking off the shoes 2, the main part 3 can be put on easily even if the shoes 2 are a little cramped, and the rear part 2a of the shoe will not be bent or worn out. , simply push the handle 4 downward to remove the elderly, sick,
It is convenient for people with physical disabilities such as physically disabled people to easily take off the shoes 2.
