SHOE FACILITATING NURSING SERVICE OF ASSISTING PERSON IN PUTTING ON OR TAKING OFF THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To largely reduce time burden of a helper in nursing service for infants or aged persons who need assistance in putting on or taking off shoes.;SOLUTION: A vamp section and a heal upper section can be separated from each other, and a sole is shaped into a dog-legged shape having a peak between a sole front section and a sole heal section. The shoe can be placed to sustain itself in a standing posture by widely opening the opening of the shoe normally when the shoe is not worn. Therefore, a person needing assistance can insert his or her foot into the shoe without help of the helper. Thus, time for preparing the shoes for the person needing assistance and time for waiting in inserting the feet into the shoes are no more required of the helper, and only assistance in fastening after insertion of the feet is required of the assistant so that constraint of time in nursing service can be largely reduced.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
