Safety shoe toecap reinforcing material having pressure dispersing structure

Abstract

The present invention relates to a reinforcing material which is attached to a toecap embedded in a safety shoe so as to ensure the convenience and safety of a worker. The reinforcing material is combined with the toecap embedded in the safety shoe used generally so as to protect portions of an instep and toes of a worker, wherein a portion of the reinforcing material contacting with the instep is made of a flexible material such that a foot is comfortable during movement, and the reinforcing material having the portion made of the flexible material is combined with the safety shoe to effectively protect the foot, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of work performed by the worker.

1 . A safety shoe toecap reinforcing material ( 200 ) having a pressure dispersing structure, the reinforcing material attached to the toecap ( 100 ) provided in a safety shoe so as to protect a foot by covering toes and an instep, the reinforcing material ( 200 ) comprising:
 an End connecting member ( 210 ) combined with an inner surface of the toecap ( 120 ) along an end surface ( 130 ) formed in a shape of an open dome on a rear portion of the toecap ( 100 ), a part of the End connecting member being exposed in a rear direction of the toecap; and   a pressure dispersing member ( 220 ) having a thickness corresponding to a thickness of the toecap and combined with an upper part of the End connecting member ( 210 ) exposed in the rear direction of the toecap along the end surface ( 130 ) of the toecap,   wherein the End connecting member ( 210 ) supports the pressure dispersing member ( 220 ), and pressure applied to the instep by the end surface ( 130 ) of the toecap according to movement of the foot of a wearer of the safety shoe is sequentially buffered and dispersed by the End connecting member ( 210 ) and the pressure dispersing member ( 220 ).   
     
     
         2 . The reinforcing material of  claim 1 , wherein the pressure dispersing member ( 220 ), which is a flexible tube, is provided by having multiple air tubes ( 221 ) formed so as to correspond to a curved shape of the end surface ( 130 ) combined with the rear portion of the toecap. 
     
     
         3 . The reinforcing material of  claim 1 , wherein the End connecting member ( 210 ) includes:
 an upper support surface ( 211 ) exposed in the rear direction from an upper end surface ( 131 ) of the toecap so as to have a length of at least the thickness of the toecap; and   a side extension surface ( 212 ) having an exposed surface of at least the thickness of the toecap extending from the upper support surface ( 211 ) to a side end surface ( 132 ) of the toecap.   
     
     
         4 . The reinforcing material of  claim 1 , wherein the pressure dispersing member ( 220 ) is an air band ( 222 ) of an elastic material that has multiple air pipes ( 223 ) embedded therein. 
     
     
         5 . The reinforcing material of  claim 4 , wherein each of the air pipes ( 223 ) is formed so as to have a diameter gradually decreasing in the rear direction, and the air band ( 222 ) has flat side filling surfaces ( 224 ) provided on opposite side surfaces thereof.
