DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a shoe body comprising an upper 2, a floor 3, an insole 4, an inner core 5, a skin 6, a bottom 7, and a heel 8. In this embodiment, the upper 2, the insole 4, and the fine leather 6 are sewn with hemp, and the fine leather 6 and the bottom leather 7 are sewn with fine yarn. More specifically, the heel 8 is formed by laminating a pedestal, a laminated skin, and a makeup skin to be adhered to the bottom skin 7 and bonding them together. Further, the configuration and manufacturing method of the shoe body are not limited to those described above, and the upper may be sewn with hemp while sandwiching the upper between the insole and the bottom, or may be bonded. The skin may not use this. In short, since the structure of the shoe body is not the gist of the present invention, the shoe body does not matter whether it is leather shoes, rubber shoes, rain boots, overshoes, or chemical shoes. Further, the constituent material does not matter whether it is leather, synthetic leather, or rubber. In short, it suffices to have a part corresponding to the instep and parts corresponding to the insole, the insole, the sole and the heel. Further, although not shown in the drawings, there is a case in which a steel core is contained in a portion of the stepped portion.

Next, the air pump device A which is the gist of the present invention will be described. In particular, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inner core 5 and the bottom skin 7 are hollowed out, and the cylinder 9 is housed by piercing the inside of the heel portion 8, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. A blower pipe 10 is attached to the cylinder 9. As shown in FIG. 2, the blower pipe 10 reaches the toe side through the middle core 4 between the midsole 4 and the sole 7 on the outer side of the leather shoe 1, as shown in FIG. 1. , Insole 4
Are provided in communication with a plurality of ventilation holes 4a provided on the toe side of the toe. In the communication method according to the embodiment, an ejection pipe 10a is protruded from a blowing pipe 10 and the ejection pipe 1
0 a is fitted into a ventilation hole 4 a provided in the midsole 4. However, the present invention is not limited to this communication method, and a blowout hole may be simply provided in the blower pipe 10 and this blowout hole may be combined with the vent hole 4 a provided in the inner bottom 4. further,
Although not shown, a branch pipe may be branched from the blower pipe 10 to communicate with each of the ventilation holes 4a. It is desirable that the ventilation hole 4a be provided between the fingers, but it is not limited to this position. A single or a few vent holes 4a are also conceivable.

In particular, as shown in FIG.
A compression spring 12 is elastically provided between the piston 11 and the inner bottom of the cylinder 9. A portion 11a corresponding to a piston punch in which the piston 11 protrudes from the cylinder 9
Is in contact with the insole 4 constituting the pressing member. The compression spring has an elasticity of about 20 to 30 kg, but is not limited to this. The portion of the midsole 4 that is in contact with the piston punch 11a is slightly raised in a normal state, as shown in FIG. Indicated symbol 13 is an intake pipe whose inlet faces the opening 3 a provided in the floor covering 3, and whose outlet side is connected to the cylinder 9. The reference symbol 13a is a check valve. The intake pipe 13 contains a fragrance 14 contained in a cartridge. This fragrance 14 has air permeability. This fragrance 14 may be larger than that shown. Further, the intake pipe 13 may use this as an intake path. Note that a check valve may be provided in the blower pipe 10, or both check valves may be omitted. Therefore, when the user walks while wearing the athlete's foot shoes according to the present invention, when the weight is applied to the heel portion 8 of the shoe body, the piston 11 descends, compressing the air inside the cylinder 9 and compressing the air inside the blowing pipe 10. Through the ventilation hole 4a from the toe of the leather shoe 1. When the weight applied to the heel portion 8 is removed, the piston 11 returns to its original position due to the elasticity of the compression spring 12, and at this time, performs suction through the intake pipe 13. When the intake pipe or the intake path is omitted, intake is performed through the ventilation hole 4a and the ventilation pipe 10. The fragrance 14 is released into the shoe body 1 through the ventilation hole 4a,
It removes unpleasant odors in the shoe body 1.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment, in which the tip of a piston punch 11a of a piston 11 of an air pump device B penetrates a through hole 4b provided in the midsole 4 of the shoe body 1 to form a pressing member. In contact with the underskin 15 to be made.

The object of the present invention can be achieved even with this configuration. The reference symbol 15a is a vent, 16 is an intake pipe or an intake path, 16a is a check valve, and 17 is a fragrance.

FIG. 6 shows still another embodiment. A compression spring 21 is housed inside a cylinder 20 of an air pump device C. The compression spring 21 is vertically movable at a portion protruding from the cylinder 20. The piston made up of the push plate 22 arranged in the contact position is in contact with the piston.

The object of the present invention can be achieved even with this configuration. In addition, the reference symbol 23a is a ventilation hole provided in the skin 23, 24 is an intake pipe or an intake path, 25 is a fragrance, and 26 is a check valve.

Alternatively, the pressing plate may be a stainless plate or a leaf spring larger than the diameter of the cylinder, and may be laid between the skin and the bottom skin. Although the cylinder is described as a member separate from the heel, the heel itself could be made a cylinder simply by drilling a hole in the heel. The cylinder referred to in the present specification includes such a case.

In short, the air pump device is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but various types may be considered. Any structure that injects air from the air holes 4a when walking while wearing shoes is sufficient.

[0021]

The present invention is configured as described above.
The following effects can be obtained.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the user wears the shoe according to the present invention and walks, the air pump device operates and air is blown out from the air hole provided on the toe side, so that air permeability is improved. Because it can improve and prevent the toes of the feet wearing shoes from sweating and humid as much as possible, this can effectively prevent the growth of Trichophyton causing athlete's foot. It is.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, when walking while wearing the shoe according to the present invention, the piston descends in the cylinder against the elasticity of the compression spring by pushing the pressing member at the heel. Then, the internal air can be compressed, and the air can be ejected from an ejection pipe provided at the tip of the air through a blowing pipe.

According to the third and fourth aspects of the present invention, when walking while wearing the shoe according to the present invention, the piston is pressed against the elasticity of the compression spring to push the inside of the cylinder against the elasticity of the compression spring by pushing the pressing member at the heel. It descends, compresses the air inside, blows out the air from the blowout pipe provided at the tip through the air pipe, and raises the heel.Then, the piston rises due to the elasticity of the compression spring and returns to its original position. The intake can be performed through an intake pipe or an intake passage.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, air can be blown out from each vent through the branch pipe.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the fragrance of the fragrance is taken into the cylinder and released into the inside of the shoe through the ventilation hole through the ventilation pipe, or the unpleasant odor inside the shoe is removed by the deodorant. Can be eliminated as much as possible.
