KR-20260065760-A - The private using shoes for an ankle-foot orthosis assisting patient, thereof its made method

Abstract

People with disabilities who have difficulty moving their ankles and feet wear ankle support and walking aids, so when going out, they must wear shoes for going out while wearing an ankle-foot orthosis attached to the outside of the foot. However, there are no suitable shoes for people with ankle disabilities that can be worn while wearing the ankle, so this falls under manufacturing technology in the footwear field regarding a method for manufacturing shoes that can be easily worn for this purpose. It is an invention that allows the user to wear the dedicated shoe without it coming off by attaching a ratchet buckle instead of a laces to the opening line, which is wider than a regular shoe and is open without a tongue, by holding the handle after attaching the ankle brace and attaching the ratchet buckle to the opening line that is wide without laces, so that when putting on and tightening the shoe, the sliding button can be adjusted without looking, and the user can even feel the clicking sound and vibration of the button to tighten it accurately. If this invention becomes widespread, it is expected to have the effect of enabling all disabled people wearing ankle braces to freely wear shoes and walk.

Description

Shoes for a disabled person wearing an ankle-foot orthosis and their manufacturing method {The private using shoes for an ankle-foot orthosis assisting patient, thereof its made method} The private using shoes for an ankle-foot orthosis assisting patient, thereof its made method} People with disabilities who have difficulty moving their ankles and feet wear ankle support and walking aids, so when going out, they must wear shoes for going out while wearing an external ankle-foot orthosis. Although various types of shoes for people with ankle disabilities that can be worn while wearing an ankle orthosis have been released, none of them are suitable. Therefore, this falls under the manufacturing technology of the footwear field regarding a method for manufacturing shoes that can be easily worn for this purpose. This falls under the manufacturing field of conditional technology, where the shoe must be manufactured as a functional shoe that meets the following requirements: first, the upper must be opened as much as possible so that the entire foot wearing the orthotic can be comfortably inserted; and second, the shoe must be designed to be easily fastened so that it does not come off after being worn and allows for comfortable walking. People with disabilities who are able to walk are primarily those with physical disabilities who wear ankle braces. While they may wear overshoes or slippers indoors, these are not suitable for walking when going out, so they must wear separate shoes for going out. In such cases, there are options such as removing the ankle brace or using zippers. Additionally, there are methods for manufacturing custom shoes for the disabled, such as Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0006167 (January 16, 2023) and No. 10-2022-0184104 (December 26, 2022), which involve forming a foot correction mold, custom insoles, and a three-dimensional foot correction mold from a vacuum tube bearing the body weight of a person with a physical disability to produce custom shoes for optimal walking; however, all of these are shoes that still present difficulties in wearing. Recently, shoes for the disabled wearing ankle braces have been released that feature a zippered front section; however, while they accommodate cumbersome ankle braces, they face many difficulties, such as being prone to breakage, which prevents them from being commercialized. Fig. 1: Left model of a shoe for disabled persons wearing the ankle orthosis of the present invention FIG. 2: Diagram of the left ankle support of the present invention and other types of shoes for the disabled, FIG. 3: Enlarged view of the ratchet portion showing the left ratchet portion of the present invention Fig. 4: Reference diagram for the names of parts in a shoe related to the present invention, There are countless inventions regarding shoes, but the reason why different names are used individually compared to the commonly used names is due to the tendency to follow the pronunciation of foreign languages, so the pronunciation is different from our language, and different names are used depending on the user. When dividing the composition of the shoe, it is classified into six major parts, each with a name, and since the definition of the name must be established first and used in conjunction with English, I intend to define it prior to the specific details of the invention. First, the upper part of the shoe, called the upper, is divided into seven sub-categories. The first is the opening, which is the round opening at the top of the shoe where the foot is inserted; the top line is the rounded circumference of the opening; the vamp is the upper central part that covers the instep; the quarter is the part that wraps around the front and back of the foot; the tongue is the tongue-shaped part that covers the laces so they do not reach the instep; the eyelet is the hole for inserting the laces; and the lacing is the structure for tying the laces. In the second major category, the toe area, the toe box is the toe area, the toe cap is the toe protection area, the plain toe is the name for the unadorned toe area, and the wing tip is the wing-shaped toe area. In the third major category, the Side & Rear area, the Counter is the part that holds the heel, the Heel Counter is the heel support structure, and the Backstay is the central longitudinal leather section located at the heel. The fourth major category, the sole, consists of an insole, which is the surface of the foot, a mid-sole, which is between the insole and the outsole, an outsole, which is the outer surface of the sole, and a welt, which is the band connecting the upper and the sole. The fifth major category, the Heel, refers to the entire heel as the heel, and the Top Lift is the rubber plate that forms the bottom of the heel. The sixth major category, the Inner part, includes the Last in the subcategories, which is also referred to as a shoe last (a mold for shoemaking), and the Shank is a term referri
