Shoe having air-permeable tongue

Abstract

A shoe ( 2 ) having an air-permeable tongue, according to the present invention, comprises: a tongue outer cover ( 131 ) having a plurality of vent holes ( 135 ); a tongue inner cover ( 133 ) provided under the tongue outer cover ( 131 ); and a spacer structure ( 132 ) having a main body part ( 132 b ) fitted between the tongue outer cover ( 131 ) and the tongue inner cover ( 133 ), and a wing part ( 132 a ) extending from the main body part ( 132 b ) toward the front of the shoe so as to be positioned under a vamp ( 140 ), which is an upper forming the front portion of the shoe. The spacer structure ( 132 ) comprises: an air-permeable part ( 132 - 1 ) upwardly formed from the wing part ( 132 a ); an air-permeable part ( 132 - 3 ) downwardly formed from the main body part ( 132 b ); and a space passage ( 132 - 2 ) formed in the wing part ( 132 a ) and the main body part ( 132 b ) so as to enable air to pass between the wing part ( 132 a ) and the main body part ( 132 b ). According to the present invention, heat or smell, which is generated at the front portion of the shoe, naturally passes through the space passage of the spacer structure and is discharged to the outside through the vent holes of the tongue.

1 . A shoe having an air-permeable tongue comprising:
 a tongue outer cover having a plurality of vent holes;   a tongue inner cover provided under the tongue outer cover; and   a spacer structure provided with a main body part fitted between the tongue outer cover and the tongue inner cover, and a wing part extending from the main body part toward a front portion of the shoe so as to be positioned under a vamp that is an upper constituting a front portion of a shoe,   the spacer structure comprising:   an air-permeable part formed on the bottom surface of the wing part;   an air-permeable part formed on a top surface of the main body part so as to be linked with the vent holes of the tongue outer cover; and   a space passage formed in the wing part and the main body part so as to enable air to pass between the wing part and the main body part,   wherein part of edges of the tongue outer cover and the tongue inner cover is coupled so as to form a tongue pocket that has an entrance towards the front portion of the shoe, the main body part of the spacer structure is inserted into the tongue pocket through the entrance of the tongue pocket, and an end of the tongue outer cover positioned at the entrance of the tongue pocket is coupled to the vamp.   
     
     
         2 . The shoe having an air-permeable tongue according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein a length of the tongue inner cover is larger than that of the tongue outer cover so as to extend to the vamp, the tongue inner cover is divided into a wing part that will be positioned under the vamp and a main body part that will be positioned under the tongue outer cover, and the wing part of the tongue inner cover preferably comprises a plurality of vent holes.   
     
     
         3 . The shoe having an air-permeable tongue according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the wing part of the spacer structure is coupled to the wing part of the tongue inner cover.   
     
     
         4 . The shoe having an air-permeable tongue according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein an edge of the wing part of the tongue inner cover and the vamp are coupled to a sole.   
     
     
         5 . The shoe having an air-permeable tongue according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the spacer structure consists of double-layered air mesh,   the double-layered air mesh comprising:   an upper net which has a mesh structure;   a lower net which is spaced apart from the upper net and has a mesh structure; and   a vent member installed between the upper net and the lower net so as to provide the space passage.   
     
     
         6 . The shoe having an air-permeable tongue according to  claim 5 , wherein the vent member is configured as a tangled elastic fiber. 
     
     
         7 . The shoe having an air-permeable tongue according to  claim 1 , wherein protrusions are formed on a flat body of the spacer structure, the protrusions are installed upwards on the body, an air-permeable part formed at the wing part is formed at the body of the spacer structure, and spaces opened upwards between the protrusions serve as an air-permeable part formed at the main body part. 
     
     
         8 . The shoe having an air-permeable tongue according to  claim 1 , wherein protrusions are formed on a flat body of the spacer structure, the protrusions are installed downwards on the body, an air-permeable part formed at the main body part is formed at the body of the spacer structure, and spaces opened downwards between the protrusions serve as an air-permeable part formed at the wing part.
