Description

  The present invention relates to footwear for male urinals used by users of male urinals.

  In the use of a male urinal, the user stands facing the front and adds urination toward the surface of the urinal of the male urinal. At the beginning of urination, urine vigorously reaches the bowl surface of the male urinal from the male genitalia, but when it approaches the end of the urination, it loses momentum and drops directly under the male genitalia. Therefore, the drooping receiving part of the male urinal protrudes forward so as to be located in the part directly under the male genitalia.

  However, urination of the floor surface of the lower part of the men's urinal has been a problem. The cause is mainly that the user's position of the male urinal can be lowered by using the male urinal while standing behind the original standing position assumed at the time of use or when the user is in a state where the waist is retracted. Since it is located in front of the part, the heel dripped from the male genitalia falls in front of the drooping receiving part of the male urinal.

  Conventionally, a plastic or rubber mat has been laid to prevent the men's urinals from being soiled by the urinal folds, and the user has dropped on the mats by adding them to the mats. The floor surface is prevented from being soiled by receiving it with the plastic or rubber mat.

  For example, a mat described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-364058 is used by a user of a urinal laid on the floor below the urinal, and is formed in a thin box shape. One or a plurality of holes are formed in the upper surface of the mold body, and a liquid absorbent material is loaded therein. Note that the box-shaped main body is configured such that the upper surface with a hole is pivotally attached to the box-shaped main body as a lid of the box-shaped main body, or a hole is formed in the upper portion of the box-shaped main body with an open top. It is said that the plate-shaped lid provided can be detachably attached.

  Further, for example, the mat described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-222386 is an improvement of the mat described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-364058, and the front end of the urinal step is provided with an inclination. In order to prevent the user from getting stuck, the inner box of the box-type main body is raised and the bottom is set so that the absorbent material is directly joined to the hole on the top surface. In order to make it easier, the outer box and the inner box are designed so that they can be easily attached and detached.

JP 2002-364058 A JP 2007-222386 A

  The dripping of urine on the floor below the men's urinal increases the burden of cleaning work for the cleaning worker, and if the flooring is not a tile, but a vinyl cloth, the salt content in the urine The floor may be discolored due to the influence of chemicals used for cleaning. Therefore, it is important to prevent the urination of the floor surface of the lower part of the front of the male urinal.

  Needless to say, it is optimal that the drooping of the floor surface of the lower part of the men's urinal is basically received by the drooping receiving part of the men's urinal. The problem is that the user stands up from the original standing position assumed during use or is used in a state where his / her waist is retracted. Since it is located in front, the heel dripped from the male genitalia falls to the front from the drooping receiving part of the male urinal. Therefore, it is important for the user to stand in the original standing position assumed at the time of use, and to use the device in a correct posture instead of being in a state where the user is seated at the time of use. If the position of the male genitalia is positioned in front of the edge of the male urinal drooping receiving part, the heel dripped from the male genital can be received by the male urinal drooping receiving part.

  The mats described in the above-mentioned JP-A-2002-364058 and JP-A-2007-222386 are expected to be effective in preventing dripping directly on the floor surface of the lower part of the front of the male urinal, Although the alteration of the floor surface itself can be protected, it is assumed that it will be dripped onto the mats, so the cleaning work of the mats itself will increase, so the cleaning burden on the cleaning worker itself will not be reduced but rather increased. Will end up. Since the structure is provided with an absorber in the lower part, it is considered that the work of opening and closing the box-like body that is soiled by the urine dripping and exchanging the absorber is heavy.

  In view of the above problems, the present invention guides the user to stand in the original standing position assumed at the time of use so that the drooping of the urine of a male urinal user drops on the original hanging receiving part, And it aims at providing the toy footwear for men's urinals which can be guided so that it may be easy to use with the right posture instead of the state where the waist is retracted at the time of use.

In order to achieve the above object, footwear for men's urinals of the present invention is:
In footwear for male urinals used by users of male urinals,
The shape of the upper surface of the insole is angled so as to decrease in the order of the position of the user's heel, the position of the arch, the position of the main ball, and the position of the toe, from the position of the heel of the user The inclination angle to the position of the arch is larger than the inclination angle from the position of the arch to the position of the main ball.

  Further, in the shape of the upper surface of the insole, a lateral foot arch (metatazaar arch) portion from the user's main ball to the fifth ball of the user has a convex shape, and the positions of the main ball at both ends and the It is preferable that the position of the fifth Ryukyu is low and the position of the third third Ryukyu is high.

  With the above configuration, by using footwear for men's urinals, the heel, the arch, the position of the baseball, and the position of the toes are lowered on the soles in order, and the center of gravity of the body weight naturally stands to balance the user. It is easy to take a posture so as to be positioned directly below, the position of the waist is stabilized in the vertical direction, and the position of the male genitalia can be guided to the front from the drooping receiving portion.

  When analyzing the situation where the hips that cause problems are analyzed, in order to stabilize in a state where the hips are retracted, the user bends the upper body, and the weight is the heel of the rear part of the sole and the mother of the front part of the sole. It is supported from the Ryukyu to the 5th Ryukyu. In other words, in order to position the lower back part, it is in a state where it is strung from the base ball of the foot to the fifth ball.

  In the footwear for men's urinals of the present invention, in the shape of the upper surface of the insole, particularly when the inclination angle from the position of the heel to the position of the arch is larger than the inclination angle from the position of the arch to the position of the baseball ball In order to support the center of gravity of the body, the user leans back from the mother Ryukyu to the 5th Ryukyu, and the user naturally supports the center of gravity of the body weight. The effect of being guided by is obtained.

  Further, in the shape of the upper surface of the insole, the side foot arch (metatazaar arch) portion from the user's main ball to the fifth ball is provided with a convex shape. Since the force is hard to enter the ball and the user naturally supports the center of gravity of the body weight, it is easy to obtain the effect that the waist is pushed forward and the posture is guided to an upright posture.

  In addition, as the above configuration, the user naturally pushes the waist forward to support the center of gravity of the body weight, and can lead to a posture close to an upright position. In view of the fact that it drops before the drooping receiving part and hangs on the footwear for boys 'urinals, it is preferable to have a mesh structure in which a number of vertical holes are provided in the vertical direction in the footwear for boys' urinals.

  If urine sag accumulates on the upper surface of footwear for men's urinals, it may cause discomfort to the user. However, by using a mesh structure with a number of vertical holes in the vertical direction, urine sag dripping may occur. Even if it does, the drooping of urine does not collect on the upper surface, and it does not give discomfort to the subsequent user.

  According to the men's urinal footwear of the present invention, the user naturally supports the center of gravity of the body weight, so that the waist is pushed forward and the effect of being guided to an almost upright posture is obtained. It is possible to guide the dripping so as to drop on the original droop receiving portion.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of footwear for male urinals of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific applications, shapes, dimensions, and the like shown in the following embodiments.

Example 1 shows a configuration example of footwear for male urinals of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing a configuration of footwear 300 for men's urinals of the present invention. 1A is a plan view, FIG. 1B is a longitudinal sectional view taken along the line C1-C2 of only the footrest portion, and FIG. 1C is a transverse sectional view of D1-D2 of only the footrest portion.

  As shown to Fig.1 (a), the footwear 300 for men's urinals of this invention is provided with the footrest part 310 which lifts the user's sole which placed the foot | foot as an insole. In addition, the footwear cover 320 of the footrest part 310 is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, the shape of the upper surface of the footrest 310 of the insole has an inclination, and the position of the user's heel part 311, the position of the arch part 312, the position of the main ball part 313, The angle is set so as to be lower in the order of the position of the toe portion 314.

  In this configuration example, the inclination angle from the position of the user's heel part 311 to the position of the arch part 312 in the upper surface shape of the footrest part 310 of the insole is larger than the position of the arch part 312 from the position of the arch part 312. It is larger than the inclination angle to the position.

  As shown in FIG. 1C, in this configuration example, in the shape of the upper surface of the footrest portion 310, the lateral foot arch (metatarsal arch) portion from the user's mother heel to the fifth heel is a planar shape. The positions of the main ball part 313 at both ends, the position of the third third ball part 316, and the position of the fifth ball part 315 are horizontal.

The effect obtained by using the footwear 300 for men's urinals of the present invention provided with the footrest portion 310 having such an upper surface shape will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG.
In FIG. 3, the cover of the upper surface of the footwear is not shown so that the effect of the footrest portion 310 can be easily understood, and the side surface of the footrest portion 310 is visible.

  2 (a) and 2 (b) schematically show a case where the stool droops before the drooping receiving portion 220 when the men's urinal footwear 300 of the present invention is not used.

FIG. 2A shows a case where the user uses the male urinal while standing behind the original standing position assumed at the time of use.
As shown in FIG. 2A, when the user stands rearward from the original standing position assumed at the time of use, the male genital position is positioned in front of the drooping receiving portion 220 of the male urinal 200. ing. Since the urine can be urinated at the beginning of the urination, it reaches the bowl surface 210 of the urinal 200 for boys. Since it is located in front of 220, the eyelid dripped from the male genitalia will fall in front of the drooping receiving part 220.

FIG. 2B shows a case in which the men's urinal 200 is used in a state where the user is in a standing position at the time of use but is in a relaxed position. If the user's waist is retracted, the position of the male genitalia is located in front of the drooping receiving part 220 of the male urinal 200, so there is no momentum at the end of the urination and it begins to fall downward. The wrinkles dripped from the vessel will drop before the drooping receiving part 220.
Even in this posture, the upper body is in front and the waist is in the back, so the center of gravity of the body weight is stable.

On the other hand, when the footwear 300 for men's urinals of the present invention is used, the standing position and the posture are improved and the waist is not retracted, and the position of the male genitalia is as shown in FIG. 2 (c). It is located in front of the edge of the drooping receiving part 220 of the men's urinal 200, and the heel dripped from the male genitalia is received in the drooping receiving part 220.
Hereinafter, the point that this state is derived will be described.

  When using the men's urinal footwear 300 of the present invention, first, the standing position is guided so as to stand at a predetermined position where the original user in front of the men's urinal 200 should stand.

  Next, when using the footwear 300 for men's urinals of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 (c), the upper surface shape of the footrest portion 310 is inclined. Since it is easy to move forward and is difficult to stabilize, it is easy to take a posture that raises the upper body and keeps the waist forward in order to maintain the center of gravity in the standing position. Because the main ball is positioned below the base, it is easier to use a posture that stabilizes the center of gravity and keeps it in front rather than putting the force on the base ball to stabilize the center of gravity. It becomes easier for the person to take an upright posture.

  FIG. 3 is a view schematically showing a state where the waist naturally moves forward in order to balance in a state where the heel is raised and the toes are lowered using the footwear 300 for men's urinals of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3A, in a state where the heel is raised and the toes are lowered, the body weight is easy to move forward if the posture is forward tilted, and it is not stable unless the force is further applied to the base ball on the sole of the foot. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the person is guided to move the center of gravity of the body by protruding the waist that is naturally retracted forward. When the waist is positioned forward, the male genitals are also positioned forward, and a small heel is dripped into the drooping receiving portion 220 of the male urinal.

  Further, in the footwear 300 for men's urinals of the present invention, the shape of the upper surface of the footrest portion 310 is inclined, and the inclination angle from the position of the user's heel part 311 to the position of the arch part 312 is the arch part. The inclination angle is larger than the inclination angle from the position 312 to the position of the main ball part 313 and the toe part 314, as shown in FIG. 3C, from the position of the hook part 311 to the position of the arch part 312. Since the inclination angle is large, in order to maintain the center of gravity, it is easy to take a posture that raises the upper body in the standing position and keeps the waist forward. That is, the position of the user's heel part 311 is higher than the shape of the upper surface of the mid-sole footrest 310 of the present configuration, rather than being linearly lower from the position of the user's heel part 311 to the toe part 314. It becomes easier to take a posture that raises the upper body and keeps the waist forward.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing the relationship with the men's urinal 200 when the men's urinal footwear 300 of the present invention is worn and standing in a predetermined position. When there is a foot in a predetermined position, when the men's urinal footwear 300 of the present invention is worn, the male genitalia is placed in the drooping receiving portion 220 of the male urinal because the upper body is raised and the posture of keeping the waist forward is taken naturally. A small bag is dripped.

  In the men's urinal footwear 300, it is preferable to have a mesh structure in which a number of vertical holes are provided in the vertical direction. This is because even if the urine drips dripping on the men's urinal footwear 300, the urine drips do not accumulate on the upper surface of the men's urinal footwear 300, and the user is not discomforted later.

  As described above, according to the men's urinal footwear of the present invention, since the user naturally supports the center of gravity of the body weight, the waist is pushed forward and the effect of being guided to a posture close to an upright is obtained. It is possible to guide the urine dripping so that it drips into the original droop receiving portion.

As a second embodiment, a configuration example of footwear 300a for male urinals of the present invention will be shown.
FIG. 5: is a figure which shows typically the structure of the footwear 300a for male urinals of this invention concerning Example 2. As shown in FIG. 5A is a plan view, FIG. 5B is a longitudinal sectional view taken along line C1-C2, and FIG. 5C is a transverse sectional view taken along line D1-D2.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (a) to FIG. 5 (c), the men's urinal footwear 300a of the present invention includes a footrest portion 310a for lifting the sole of the user who placed the foot. .

  The shape of the upper surface of the footrest portion 310a has an inclination, and the position of the user's heel portion 311a, the position of the arch portion 312a, the position of the main heel ball portion 313a, the position of the toe portion 314a, as in the first embodiment. The angle is set so that it becomes lower in order of position. Further, as in the case of the second embodiment, in this configuration example, the inclination angle from the position of the user's heel portion 311a to the position of the arch portion 312a in the upper surface shape of the footrest portion 310a is the position of the arch portion 312a. Is larger than the inclination angle from the baseball ball portion 313a to the position of the baseball ball portion 313a.

  Further, in this configuration example, in the upper surface shape of the footrest portion 310a, the lateral foot arch (metatarsal arch) portion from the user's main ball to the fifth ball is provided with a convex shape, and the main hooks at both ends are provided. The position of the ball portion 313a and the position of the fifth Ryukyu portion 315a are low, and the position of the third third ball portion 316a is high.

  The effect obtained by using the footwear 300a for men's urinals of this invention provided with the footrest part 310a which has such an upper surface shape is demonstrated referring FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a view schematically showing a state in which the position of the waist naturally moves forward in order to balance in a state where the heel is raised and the toes are lowered using the footwear 300a for men's urinals of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6 (a), in the state where the heel is raised and the toes are further lowered, it is difficult to support the weight if the posture is forward tilted. Although not stable, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), the main ball portion 313a is low in the side foot arch (metatarsal arch) portion from the main ball to the fifth ball, and stable in a forward tilt posture. difficult.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the person sticks out the waist, which is naturally retracted, to move the center of gravity of the body, and is guided so that the body stands upright in the vertical direction. When the waist is positioned forward, the male genitals are also positioned forward, and a small heel is dripped into the drooping receiving portion 220 of the male urinal.

  That is, when the footwear 300a for men's urinals of the present invention is used, the upper surface shape of the footrest portion 310a is inclined, and the inclination angle from the position of the user's heel portion 311a to the position of the arch portion 312a is more. The angle of inclination from the position of the arch portion 312a to the position of the main ball portion 313a is larger, and the side foot arch (metatarsal arch) portion from the main ball to the fifth ball is Since it has a convex shape, it is difficult to stand on the main ball part 313a and the toe part 314a, and it is difficult to stabilize the upper body with the upper body bent, and the body in the standing position to maintain the center of gravity. It becomes easier to take a posture that raises the upper body and keeps the waist forward so that it is in the vertical direction.

  Note that the men's urinal footwear 300a preferably has a mesh structure in which a number of vertical holes are provided in the vertical direction. This is because even if the urine drips dripping, the urine sag does not accumulate on the upper surface of the men's urinal footwear 300a, and the user is not uncomfortable.

  As described above, according to the men's urinal footwear 300a of the present invention, since the user naturally supports the center of gravity of the body weight, the waist is pushed forward, and the effect of being guided to an upright posture is obtained. It is possible to guide the urine dripping into the original droop receiving portion.

  As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment in the footwear for men's urinals of this invention was illustrated and demonstrated, it will be understood that various changes are possible without deviating from the technical scope of this invention.

  The present invention can be applied to footwear for male urinals of various manufacturers.
