 従来、靴に発光装置を設けて靴の周りに発光させて存在を視覚させる靴の提案は幾つもされている。例えば靴内に電源となる電池を設け、その電池で供給される電気でLED等を光らせる靴として、特開2005-13314号公報、登録実用新案3038468号、登録実用新案3047473号、特開平8-33210号公報、特開平11-32813号公報等が提案されてる。しかしそれらに共通する問題として、靴内に電池を内蔵する発光装置を組み込み製作するのは非常に困難で、その実現には例えば発光装置を靴内に組み込んで収容スペースの問題、製作上かなりコスト高になる問題、靴を洗濯できない問題、電池が切れたら発光しなくなるため電池を交換しなければならない問題等があり、さらに靴を発光させるには必ずその発光装置を内蔵した靴を履かなければならないし、靴が消耗した場合には、発光させるにはまた同じ靴を買わなければならない。また構造上の問題として、従来の発光靴の構造では一方方向にしか光らせられない問題もあった。 Heretofore, a number of proposals have been made for shoes that are provided with a light emitting device so that light is emitted around the shoes to make the presence visible. For example, as a shoe in which a battery serving as a power source is provided in the shoe and the LED and the like are illuminated by electricity supplied by the battery, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-13314, Registered Utility Model 3038468, Registered Utility Model 3047473, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8- Japanese Patent Publication No. 33210, Japanese Patent Publication No. 11-32813, etc. have been proposed. However, as a problem common to them, it is very difficult to incorporate and manufacture a light emitting device incorporating a battery in a shoe, and for that purpose, for example, the light emitting device is incorporated in a shoe and the problem of storage space, considerable cost in manufacturing There is a problem that becomes high, a problem that you can not wash shoes, a problem that you have to replace the battery because it does not emit light when the battery is exhausted, etc. If you wear your shoes, you have to buy the same shoes again to make them glow. Further, as a structural problem, there is also a problem that the light emitting shoe of the prior art can only be lighted in one direction.
 また靴内に圧電素子を設け、圧電素子で起電させて光らせる靴として、特願2000-022061号公報、特開平8-168272号公報、特開公表平5-504283号公報、特開平6-209807号公報、特開2001-308405号公報、特開2005-183275号公報、特開2006-107859号公報等が提案されており、それらの各構成、起電方法、問題点を表1にまとめている。それらの共通する問題として、やはりどの構成も靴内に圧電素子と発光体の発光装置を設ける構成であるため、いずれも製作が非常に難しく、また同様にその構造ではその発光体が靴の外に発光する方向は、一方方向(靴の底で後方、側方、前方のいずれか)に固定されて発光することになる。 Further, as a shoe in which a piezoelectric element is provided in the shoe and generated by the piezoelectric element to emit light, Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-022621, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-168272, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-504283, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6- No. 209807, JP-A 2001-308405, JP-A 2005-183275, JP-A 2006-107859, etc. are proposed, and their respective configurations, generation methods and problems are summarized in Table 1. ing. As a problem common to them, since all configurations are also configured to provide the light emitting devices of the piezoelectric element and the light emitter in the shoe, it is very difficult to manufacture either, and in the structure as well, the light emitter is outside the shoe. The direction of light emission is fixed in one direction (back, side, or front at the bottom of the shoe) to emit light.

The direction can be made to light and be visible to the person in the range between the side and the back. In particular, if the present invention is worn 45 degrees diagonally backward, it is possible to simultaneously view all persons on the side and the rear of the shoe. And even if you change your shoes, you can use it permanently with no power forever. In addition, since the electromotive unit of the present invention can be appropriately bent in proportion to the magnitude of the pressure or impact from above without being bulky, a cushion that absorbs the force and cushions the impact.

 本発明の実施例の構成を図面を元に詳細に説明する。図1、図2は本発明の「靴の光装着具」の実施例の全体図を示し、図3は本発明の「靴の光装着具」の起電部の実施例の構成を示すものである。 The configuration of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. 1 and 2 show the overall view of the embodiment of the "light fitting for shoes" of the present invention, and Fig. 3 shows the configuration of the embodiment of the electromotive unit of the "light fitting for shoes" of the present invention. It is.
 図1において、起電部2の外形を略円状で平板状に形成し、その起電部2で起電する電気を給電する配線材3を接続して具備し、その配線材3として靴内から靴の外側へと給電する平行2芯ケーブルを約10cmの長さに形成し、その配線材3を靴の所望の位置に固定する固定具4としてクリップ4aを設け、そのクリップ4aの内側に溝4dを形成して、その溝4dに配線材3を嵌合して設け、その配線材3の先端に露呈した芯線に、LED6の各端子をそれぞれはんだ付け等で接続する。固定具4としてクリップ4aを適当に可撓する樹脂材でU字状に形成し、そのU字状に形成したクリップ4aの内側に前記溝部4dと開口する開口部4eを形成し、その開口部4eからLED6を嵌合して外側に突出させている。図1(b)はクリップ4aが通常の負荷をかけてない状態を示し、そのクリップ4aは可撓性があるため、矢印の方向へ撓ませて図1(c)の状態にすると、クリップ4aは図1(b)の元の形状に戻ろうとして、常に内側へと力が加わる状態になる。そのため靴の開口の淵にクリップ4aで挟むことで、その可撓性の性質で固定できる。 In FIG. 1, the outer shape of the electromotive portion 2 is formed in a substantially circular and flat plate shape, and a wiring member 3 for feeding electricity generated by the electromotive portion 2 is connected and included. A parallel two-core cable for feeding power from the inside to the outside of the shoe is formed to a length of about 10 cm, and a clip 4a is provided as a fixture 4 for fixing the wiring member 3 at a desired position of the shoe. The grooves 4d are formed, and the wiring members 3 are fitted and provided in the grooves 4d, and the terminals of the LEDs 6 are respectively connected to the core wires exposed at the ends of the wiring members 3 by soldering or the like. The clip 4a is formed in a U-shape with a resin material that appropriately flexes as the fixing tool 4, and an opening 4e that opens with the groove 4d is formed inside the U-shaped clip 4a, and the opening is The LED 6 is fitted from 4e and projected outward. FIG. 1 (b) shows a state in which the clip 4a is not loaded normally, and since the clip 4a is flexible, the clip 4a is bent in the direction of the arrow to be in the state of FIG. 1 (c). In order to return to the original shape of FIG. 1 (b), a force is always applied inward. Therefore, by holding the clip 4a at the edge of the opening of the shoe, it can be fixed by its flexible nature.
 図4は、図1に示した本発明の「靴の光装着具」の実施例の構成を実際に既存の靴へ、固定具4のクリップ4aで挟んで装着した状態を示したものである。図のようにクリップ4aを靴の開口の淵に挟ませれば、前記したクリップ4aの可撓性によって、その淵上にしっかり固定でき図4(b)の状態にして固定できる。 FIG. 4 shows a state in which the configuration of the embodiment of the “light fitting for shoes” of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is actually attached to an existing shoe with the clip 4a of the fixing tool 4 interposed. . If the clip 4a is pinched in the heel of the opening of the shoe as shown, the flexibility of the clip 4a allows the clip 4a to be firmly fixed on the heel and in the state of FIG. 4 (b).
 図5は、図1に示した本発明の「靴の光装着具」を靴に装着した状態の縦断面図を示す。図5(a)に示すように、本発明の「靴の光装着具」を構成する起電部2は平薄で平板状であり、靴内の狭いスペースの靴底上に載置して装備することができ、実際に靴を履いて歩いても邪魔にならないし違和感が無い。そして図5(b)の靴を履いた状態になると、踵が起電部2上に載った状態で歩いたり走ったりする度に、平板状の起電部2上に体の荷重が加わることになり、その荷重で起電部2を構成する圧電起電部2Aの圧電体2bには、その圧力で歪みの変形が起き、その歪みの変形によって圧電体2bから起電流を発生する。その実際の起電原理については図7で後述する。尚、図1の構成において、クリップ4aはアルミ等の金属板で形成してもよいし、また図1(e)で示すように開口部4eを縦長に形成し、その開口部4e内でLED6を上下(↑↓)方向に適当に位置をずらして固定するようにしてもよい。また開口した開口部4eを縦にそれぞれ幾つか設けておき、そのひとつの開口部4eからLED6を突出して固定するように構成してもよい。 FIG. 5 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the “light fitting for shoes” of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 attached to the shoe. As shown in FIG. 5A, the electromotive unit 2 constituting the “light fitting for shoes” of the present invention is flat and thin and flat, and is placed on the sole of a narrow space in the shoe. It can be equipped, and it will not get in the way even if you actually walk with shoes and there is no discomfort. Then, when the shoes shown in FIG. 5 (b) are worn, the weight of the body is applied on the plate-like electromotive unit 2 every time the user walks or runs while the heel is on the electromotive unit 2. Due to the load, deformation of strain occurs in the piezoelectric body 2b of the piezoelectric electromotive portion 2A that constitutes the electromotive portion 2, and an electromotive current is generated from the piezoelectric body 2b due to the deformation of the strain. The actual electromotive principle will be described later with reference to FIG. In the configuration of FIG. 1, the clip 4a may be formed of a metal plate such as aluminum, or the opening 4e is vertically elongated as shown in FIG. 1 (e), and the LED 6 is formed in the opening 4e.

Therefore, the LED 6 can be made to emit light in any direction between the side (X direction) and the rear (Z direction) depending on the fixed position, and the LED 6 can be irradiated in that direction. Further, the LED 6 can be fixed obliquely 45 ° backward (in the Y direction), and the light emission direction of the LED 6 can be made visible simultaneously to persons on the side and the rear, so the visual range is greatly expanded. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 (c), the electromotive unit 2 is stuck and fixed on the bottom of the shoe, and the wiring member 3 is made longer beforehand, as shown in FIG. 5 (b). By setting the fixed position of the fixing tool 4 at a desired position so that it can be mounted by following the extra surplus wiring member 3 in the vacant space of the back of the shoe and the rear end region in the shoe You may implement.

 図3は、本発明の「靴の光装着具」を構成する起電部2において、その構成の各実施例を示すものである。「靴の光装着具」を構成する起電部2は、その起電する平板状の構成として圧電起電部2Aでなり、その圧電起電部2Aは図8に示す構成で実施するものであり、その圧電起電部2Aの構成について、次に詳述する。本発明を構成する圧電起電部2Aは、適当な厚みで可撓性があり好ましくは金属板でなる平板状の基板2aで構成し、その基板2aの面上に設けた適当な大きさと厚みでなる平薄状の圧電体2bと、その圧電体2bの上面に電極面2cを設けて構成する構造である。一般に圧電セラミックの圧電体は、弾性が無く強い衝撃や曲げによって割れてしまうが、その圧電セラミックを平薄状に形成することで、その平薄状にした圧電セラミックには、ある程度弾性が出てある程度割れずに曲げることができる。そのため図8に示す構造にして、平板状で可撓性のある金属板でなる基板2a上に、圧電セラミックでなる圧電体2bを平薄状に設けることで、その圧電体2bが割れない範囲内で撓ませて起電させることができる。そのため本発明を構成する圧電起電部2Aは、可撓性がある基板2aと、その面上に平薄状に設けた圧電体2bによって構成することで、適当に撓んで割れずに曲げられ、その構造は非常に平薄状に構成できて嵩張らずに上からの圧力や衝撃に対して、その力の大きさに比例して適当に撓むことができ、その力を吸収して衝撃を和らげるクッションの役目を果たすことができるため、靴内に設けても違和感が無く実施できる。本発明の実施例として、圧電起電部2Aを構成する基板2aは、適当な厚みで可撓性がある金属等で構成でき、実施例としては黄銅、アルミ、銅や、合金でなる42ALLOY等で実施できる。また基板2aを薄いプラスチック材でその面上にアルミ蒸着して形成したり、導電性のカーボン等を成膜して構成してもよい。また基板2a全体を導電ゴムや導電性プラスチック材で形成して構成してもよい。基板2aの厚みとしては、適当に撓んで可撓性を持つ厚さであればよく、金属板で形成した場合は実施例として、その金属の材質にもよるが、例として2~1mm以下から0.5~0.3mm以下で0.2mm以下であればさらによい。圧電体2bは、圧電セラミックとしては、チタン酸ジルコン酸鉛(PZT)の他に、チタン酸バリウム(BaTiO3)、チタン酸鉛、ニオブ酸鉛、ニオブ酸リチウム等を焼結して分極処理したもので構成でき、実施例として0.2~0.06mmの厚みで実施できる。また圧電フィルムとしては、フィルム状のポリフッ化ビニリデン(PVDF)等で構成して実施できる。いずれの物質も圧力を加えることで、物質内に電気分極が生じて起電流を発生する。 FIG. 3 shows each example of the configuration of the electromotive unit 2 constituting the “light fitting for shoes” of the present invention. The electromotive unit 2 constituting the "light fitting for shoes" is a piezoelectric electromotive unit 2A as a flat plate-like configuration that generates electricity, and the piezoelectric electromotive unit 2A is implemented by the configuration shown in FIG. The configuration of the piezoelectric electromotive portion 2A will now be described in detail. The piezoelectric electromotive part 2A constituting the present invention is constituted by a flat substrate 2a of a suitable thickness and flexibility and preferably made of a metal plate, and the appropriate size and thickness provided on the surface of the substrate 2a And the electrode surface 2c provided on the upper surface of the piezoelectric body 2b. Generally, a piezoelectric ceramic piezoelectric body is not elastic and is broken by a strong impact or bending, but by forming the piezoelectric ceramic in a flat thin shape, the flat thin piezoelectric ceramic has elasticity to some extent. It can be bent without cracking to some extent. Therefore, by providing the piezoelectric body 2b made of piezoelectric ceramic in a flat thin shape on the substrate 2a made of a flat and flexible metal plate in the structure shown in FIG. 8, the range in which the piezoelectric body 2b is not broken It can be bent inside to generate electricity. Therefore, the piezoelectric electromotive portion 2A constituting the present invention is appropriately bent without being broken by being constituted by the flexible substrate 2a and the piezoelectric member 2b provided flatly on the surface thereof. The structure can be very flat and thin, and can be suitably bent in proportion to the magnitude of the force against pressure and impact from above without being bulky, and the force absorbed is the impact Since it can serve as a cushion for relieving pain, it can be implemented without discomfort even if it is provided in the shoe. As an embodiment of the present invention, the substrate 2a constituting the piezoelectric electromotive portion 2A can be made of a metal or the like having a suitable thickness and flexibility, and as an embodiment, 42 ALLOY or the like made of brass, aluminum, copper, or an alloy Can be implemented by Alternatively, the substrate 2a may be formed by vapor deposition of aluminum on the surface of a thin plastic material, or conductive carbon or the like may be formed into a film. Further, the entire substrate 2a may be formed of conductive rubber or a conductive plastic material. The thickness of the substrate 2a may be a thickness that can be appropriately bent and has flexibility, and when it is formed of a metal plate, although depending on the material of the metal as an example, it is from 2 to 1 mm or less as an example It is even more preferable if it is 0.5 to 0.3 mm or less and 0.2 mm or less. The piezoelectric body 2b is obtained by sintering and polarizing barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ), lead titanate, lead niobate, lithium niobate, etc. in addition to lead zirconate titanate (PZT) as a piezoelectric ceramic. The embodiment can be implemented with a thickness of 0.2 to 0.06 mm as an example. The piezoelectric film can be implemented by using film-like polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or the like. By applying pressure to any substance, an electric polarization occurs in the substance to generate an electromotive current.
 図3で本発明の「靴の光装着具」を構成する起電部2の各実施例を順に説明する。図3(a)は、起電部2が圧電起電部2Aだけでなる構成である。圧電起電部2Aの構造は前述した通りで、配線材3の先端に露出した各芯線を基板2aと可撓性を持つ電極板2Bの面に、それぞれはんだ付け等で接続しており、その接続した電極板2Bの面と圧電体2bの電極面2cを互いに接面させて構成したものである。この図3(a)の構成で、図5に示すように靴底上に載置して設けても、靴底には元々若干弾性があるため、基板2aと電極板2Bはその可撓性によって、踵から受ける荷重を吸収して適当に撓む変形が起き、その撓む変形に追従して圧電体2bも適当に撓む歪みが起きて起電でき、本発明をこの構成によって実施できる。尚、前記電極板2Bに配線材3の一方の芯線をはんだ付け等で接続する替わりに、圧電体2bの電極面2cに直接配線材3の一方の芯線をはんだ付け等で接続して構成してもよいし、同様に実施可能である。図3(b)は、図3(a)で示した構成にさらに弾性がある上敷き2Dを重ねて設けて構成するものである。この構成であれば弾性がある上敷き2Dによって、さらに踵から受ける荷重を吸収できるため、実際に靴内に載置して履いた状態でも、違和感無く実施できる。図3(c)は、図3(b)で示した構成にさらに弾性のある下敷き2Eを下に重ねて、その下敷き2E上に電極板2Bを配線材3の一方の芯線をはんだ付け等で接続し構成したものである。この構成であれば弾性のある上敷き2Dと下敷き2Eによって、さらにもっと踵に加わる荷重を吸収できるため、実際に靴を履いてても全く違和感が無くさらに心地感も得られる。弾性のある上敷き2D及び下敷き2Eとしては、ゴム材や発泡プラスチック等で実施でき、その厚みも例えば0.5~2mm程度に実施できる。尚、図3(b)で示した構成において、上敷き2Dを設ける替わりに、下敷き2Eのみ基板2aの下に設けて構成して実施してもよい。図3(d)は、上敷き2Dと下敷き2Eを導電性ゴムで構成して実施するものである。導電性ゴムは弾性と導電性があるため、その導電性ゴムでなる上敷き2Dと下敷き2Eに配線材3の各芯線を接続し、その上敷き2Dと下敷き2Eによって圧電起電部2Aをサンドイッチ状態に挟んで構成することで、下敷き2Eの上面と基板2aの下面が接面して導通状態になり、同様に上敷き2Dの下面と圧電体2bの電極面2cとが接面して導通状態になり、その上敷き2Dと下敷き2Eから直接通電できて実施できるため、はんだ付け等の工程が無くなり製作が非常に簡単にできる。尚、この構成で上敷き2Dと下敷き2Eとを互いに絶縁状態にするため、それより若干大きめの紙等でなるドーナツ形状の絶縁材2Cで、図のように介在させて設けている。この絶縁材2Cによって、その中央に開口した部分から上敷き2Dの下面と、電極面2cのみが電気的に導通状態に接面することになる。尚、各起電部2の構成で、各圧電起電部2Aを上下逆さまにして、圧電体2bと電極面2cが下向きで、その上に基板2aが上向きになるように、図3(a)~(d)で示す各起電部2の構成を上下反転して構成して実施してもよい。また本発明を構成する起電部2の外形の形状も、実施例で示した略円形に限らず角形状でも良いし、中敷き(インソール)大の大きさに形成して実施してもよい。また靴内に載置して設ける起電部2の位置も、踵が当接する位置に限らず土踏まずからつま先の間で当接するように載置して設けても良い。また本発明は、サンダルやスリッパにも装着できるため、本発明の「靴の光装着具」はサンダルやスリッパ等も対象に含まれる。 Each Example of the electromotive part 2 which comprises "the optical mounting tool of shoes" of this invention with FIG. 3 is described in order. FIG. 3A shows a configuration in which the electromotive unit 2 includes only the piezoelectric electromotive unit 2A. The structure of the piezoelectric electromotive portion 2A is as described above, and each core wire exposed at the tip of the wiring member 3 is connected to the surface of the substrate 2a and the flexible electrode plate 2B by soldering or the like. The surface of the connected electrode plate 2B and the electrode surface 2c of the piezoelectric body 2b are configured to be in contact with each other. In the configuration of FIG. 3 (a), even if it is placed on the sole as shown in FIG. 5, since the sole has some elasticity originally, the substrate 2a and the electrode plate 2B are flexible. Can absorb the load received from the crucible and deform appropriately, and the piezoelectric body 2b can be appropriately distorted to follow the bending deformation to generate electricity, and the present invention can be practiced with this configuration . Incidentally, instead of connecting one core wire of the wiring member 3 to the electrode plate 2B by soldering or the like, one core wire of the wiring member 3 is directly connected to the electrode surface 2c of the piezoelectric body 2b by soldering. It may be implemented as well. FIG. 3 (b) is configured by superposing an elastic overlay 2D on the configuration shown in FIG. 3 (a). With this configuration, the load received from the heel can be further absorbed by the elastic overlay 2D, so that even in a state of being actually placed and worn in a shoe, it can be implemented without discomfort. In FIG. 3 (c), an elastic underlayment 2E is further superimposed below the configuration shown in FIG. 3 (b), and the electrode plate 2B is soldered onto the underlayment 2E. It is connected and configured. With this configuration, the load applied to the heel can be absorbed further by the elastic upper sheet 2D and the lower sheet 2E. Therefore, even when the user actually wears a shoe, there is no sense of incongruity, and a more comfortable feeling can be obtained. The elastic overlays 2D and underlays 2E can be made of rubber, foamed plastic or the like, and the thickness thereof can be, for example, about 0.5 to 2 mm. In the configuration shown in FIG. 3B, instead of providing the overlay 2D, only the underlay 2E may be provided below the substrate 2a. In FIG. 3D, the upper sheet 2D and the lower sheet 2E are formed of conductive rubber. Since the conductive rubber has elasticity and conductivity, the respective core wires of the wiring material 3 are connected to the upper sheet 2D and the lower sheet 2E made of the conductive rubber, and the piezoelectric electromotive portion 2A is sandwiched by the upper sheet 2D and the lower sheet 2E. By sandwiching, the upper surface of the underlayment 2E and the lower surface of the substrate 2a are in contact with each other to be in the conductive state, and similarly the lower surface of the overlay 2D and the electrode surface 2c of the piezoelectric body 2b are in contact and in the conductive state. Since it is possible to conduct electricity directly from the upper sheet 2D and the lower sheet 2E, the process such as soldering can be eliminated and the manufacture can be extremely simplified. In addition, in order to make the upper sheet 2D and the lower sheet 2E mutually insulated with this configuration, a doughnut-shaped insulating material 2C made of a paper slightly larger than that is provided as shown in the figure. By the insulating material 2C, only the lower surface of the overlay 2D and the electrode surface 2c come into electrical conduction from the portion opened at the center thereof. In the configuration of each electromotive unit 2, each piezoelectric electromotive unit 2A is turned upside down so that the piezoelectric body 2b and the electrode surface 2c are directed downward and the substrate 2a is directed upward, as shown in FIG. The configuration of each of the electromotive units 2 shown in FIGS. Further, the outer shape of the electromotive unit 2 constituting the present invention is not limited to the substantially circular shape shown in the embodiment but may be a square shape, or may be formed with a large insole size. Further, the position of the electromotive unit 2 provided in the shoe is not limited to the position where the heel abuts, and may be provided so as to abut between the arch and the toes. Further, since the present invention can also be mounted on sandals and slippers, the "light fitting for shoes" of the present invention also includes sandals, slippers, and the like.
 図7は、本発明の起電原理を示すものである。図7(a)は圧電起電部2Aで起電する原理を示し、図7(b)~(e)は図3(d)に示した起電部2によって起電する原理を示すものである。図7(a)において、基板2a上に設けた圧電体2bに下方向の矢印で示す圧力を加えると、その圧電体2bに撓みの歪みが起きると同時に、圧電体2bが起電流i(←)を発生してLED6aを発光させる。次にその歪ませた圧力を取り去ると、基板2aが持つその可撓性の性質によって元の形状に戻り、そしてそれに追従して圧電体2bも元の形状に戻り、同時にその際起電流i(→)を発生してLED6bを発光させる。この起電原理によって、図5(b)に示すように靴を履いて歩いたり走ったりすると、図7(b)(c)に示すように、足を下ろすごとに踵から受ける体重(荷重)によって、圧電起電部2Aにはその体重による下方向の矢印で示す荷重が加わり、基板2a及び圧電体2bには若干外側に撓む歪みが起き、その歪みの変形によって、圧電体2bが起電して起電流i(←)を発生する。そしてその起電流i(←)によって、LED6aが点灯して発光する。次に図7(d)(e)に示すように、地面に一旦下ろした足を上に持ち上げると、それまで踵から加わってた荷重が無くなり、同時に基板2aに加わってた圧力も無くなるため、その可撓性のある基板2aは自力で元の形状に戻り、その基板2aに追従して圧電体2bも元の形状に戻り、起電流i(→)を起電してLED6bが点灯し発光する。このため足を下ろして上げる動作の間に2回起電が起き、その起電ごとにLED6aとLED6bが交互に点灯して発光する。そのため例えばLED6aを赤いLEDで構成して、LED6bを緑色のLEDで構成すると、交互に光る2色の発光によって周りの人に視覚させられ、かなりの注意喚起の効果が出る。また例えば固定具4を2つ用意しておき、図4(c)の状態でひとつの各固定具4でLED6aをZ方向に向けて固定し、もうひとつの固定具4でLED6bをX方向に向けて固定すれば、ひとつの起電部2で、後方にも側方にも同時に発光させて、周りの人に視覚させることができる。 FIG. 7 shows the electromotive principle of the present invention. FIG. 7 (a) shows the principle of generation of electricity by the piezoelectric electromotive part 2A, and FIGS. 7 (b) to 7 (e) show the principle of generation of electricity by the electromotive part 2 shown in FIG. 3 (d). is there. In FIG. 7A, when a pressure indicated by a downward arrow is applied to the piezoelectric body 2b provided on the substrate 2a, distortion of bending occurs in the piezoelectric body 2b, and at the same time, the piezoelectric body 2b generates an electromotive force i (← ) To cause the LED 6a to emit light. Next, when the distorted pressure is removed, the flexible property of the substrate 2a returns to the original shape, and following it, the piezoelectric member 2b also returns to the original shape, and at the same time the electromotive current i →) is generated to make the LED 6 b emit light. By this principle of electromotive force, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), when walking or running in shoes, as shown in FIG. 7 (b) (c), weight (load) received from heels every time the foot is lowered As a result, a load shown by the downward arrow due to the weight is applied to the piezoelectric electromotive part 2A, and a distortion occurs in which the substrate 2a and the piezoelectric body 2b are slightly bent outward, and the deformation of the distortion causes the piezoelectric body 2b to rise. Generate an electromotive current i (←). Then, the LED 6a is lit and emits light due to the electromotive current i (←). Next, as shown in FIGS. 7 (d) and 7 (e), lifting the foot once lowered to the ground eliminates the load applied from the heel and removes the pressure applied to the substrate 2a. The flexible substrate 2a returns to its original shape by its own force, and the piezoelectric body 2b returns to its original shape following the substrate 2a, and the electromotive current i (→) is generated to turn on the LED 6b to emit light. Do. For this reason, during the operation of lowering and raising the foot, a voltage rise occurs twice, and the LED 6a and the LED 6b alternately light and emit light each time the voltage rises. Therefore, if, for example, the LED 6a is formed of a red LED and the LED 6b is formed of a green LED, it can be made visible to people around by the bi-colored light emission alternately, and a considerable alerting effect can be obtained. Further, for example, two fixtures 4 are prepared, and the LED 6a is fixed in the Z direction with one fixture 4 in the state of FIG. 4C, and the LED 6b is made in the X direction with another fixture 4. If it fixes facing, it can be made to emit light simultaneously to the back and the side with one electromotive part 2, and it can be made visible to people around.
 図9は、図3で示した起電部2の構成で、足を降ろした時に基板2aと一体の圧電体2bが大きく屈曲し、大きな起電量が得られるようにした構成である。その実施例の図9(a)(b)(c)において、基板2aの下面と下敷き2Eの上面との間に、図のように弓形状の挿入板2Fを2枚を適当に離して平行に介在させ構成したものである。その構成にして足を踏み降ろせば、図のように基板2aと下敷き2Eとの間に隙間があるため、その隙間分基板2aが大きく屈曲し、同時に一体の圧電体2bも大きく屈曲するため大きな起電量が得られる。もうひとつの実施例の図9(d)(e)(f)は、下敷き2Eの下面と靴7の上面との間に、図のように弓形状の挿入板2Fを2枚適当に離して平行に介在させて構成するものである。この構成にして足を踏み降ろせば、図のように下敷き2Eと靴7との間に隙間があるため、その隙間分下敷き2Eとその上に載置した基板2aが大きく屈曲し、同時に圧電体2bも大きく屈曲するため大きな起電量が得られる。ここで介在する挿入板2Fの厚みとしては、実施例として0.5mm~1.0mm位で実施できる。また図9(d)(e)(f)の構成で、挿入板2Fの左右2枚を一体に繋げる図示しない板で連結して構成してもよい。 FIG. 9 shows a configuration of the electromotive unit 2 shown in FIG. 3 in which the piezoelectric body 2b integral with the substrate 2a is largely bent when the foot is lowered to obtain a large amount of electromotive force. In FIGS. 9 (a), (b) and (c) of that embodiment, two arc-shaped insertion plates 2F are appropriately separated and parallel between the lower surface of the substrate 2a and the upper surface of the base 2E as shown. Intervened in the In this configuration, if the foot is stepped down, there is a gap between the substrate 2a and the underlay 2E as shown in the figure, so the substrate 2a is largely bent by the gap and at the same time the integral piezoelectric member 2b is also greatly bent. An electromotive amount is obtained. 9 (d), (e) and (f) of another embodiment, two bow-shaped insertion plates 2F are suitably separated as shown in the figure between the lower surface of the underlayment 2E and the upper surface of the shoe 7. It is configured to be interposed in parallel. In this configuration, when the foot is stepped down, there is a gap between the underlayment 2E and the shoe 7 as shown in the figure, so the underlayment 2E and the substrate 2a placed thereon are largely bent, and at the same time the piezoelectric body Since 2b is also greatly bent, a large electromotive force can be obtained. The thickness of the insertion plate 2F interposed here can be, for example, about 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm. Further, in the configuration of FIGS. 9 (d), (e) and (f), the left and right two sheets of the insertion plate 2F may be connected by a plate (not shown) connecting the two integrally.
 図10は、図2で示した本発明の「靴の装着具」において、靴への他の装着方法の実施例の構成を示したものである。起電部2で起電した電気を通電する配線材3として、適当に硬くて剛性があり屈曲する金属でなる固定式配線材3Aで構成したものである。金属の性質として剛性と屈曲性があり、一旦屈曲するとその剛性によってその形を保持する性質がある。そのため前実施例で示した配線材3を固定具4によって靴に装着しなくても、適当に剛性と屈曲性のある金属でなる固定式配線材3Aを通電する配線材3として構成することで、靴の縁にその固定式配線材3Aを屈曲させて挟んで固定でき本発明を実施することができる。固定式配線材3Aによる靴への固定方法としては、予め真直ぐ形状の固定式配線材3Aを靴の縁に合わせて屈曲して挟んで固定してもよいし、又は予めクリップ形状に屈曲しておいた固定式配線材3Aを靴の縁に挟んで固定するようにしてもよい。この固定式配線材3Aは起電部2で起電した電気を通電する役目と、靴の縁に挟んで固定させる2つの役目を果たすことができる。尚、実施例の構成として、通電する配線材3全体を固定式配線材3Aで構成してもよいし、靴の縁に固定させる部分のみ固定式配線材3Aで構成してもよい。固定式配線材3Aを形成する金属材としては、実施例として適当に剛性があって屈曲する鉄材等で実施でき、その形状も図のように短冊状の平薄状が望ましいが、断面が丸い線状でもよい。本実施例の構成では固定式配線材3Aの先端にコネクタ10が設けられており、図11で示すコネクタ10と抜き差しして実施することができる。 FIG. 10 shows the construction of another embodiment of the method of mounting on a shoe according to the "shoe mounting tool" of the present invention shown in FIG. The wiring member 3 for conducting electricity generated by the electromotive unit 2 is constituted by a fixed wiring member 3A made of a metal which is suitably hard, rigid and bent. The properties of metal are rigidity and flexibility, and once bent it has the property of retaining its shape by its rigidity. Therefore, even if the wiring member 3 shown in the previous embodiment is not attached to the shoe by the fixing tool 4, by configuring the fixed wiring member 3A made of metal having appropriate rigidity and flexibility as the wiring member 3 to be energized The fixed wiring member 3A can be bent and sandwiched and fixed to the edge of the shoe according to the present invention. As a method of fixing to the shoe by the fixed wiring member 3A, the fixed wiring member 3A in a straight shape may be bent in advance in accordance with the edge of the shoe, and may be fixed by being pinched or bent in advance into a clip shape The fixed wiring member 3A may be sandwiched and fixed to the edge of the shoe. The fixed wiring member 3A can play a dual role of conducting electricity generated by the electromotive part 2 and of holding and fixing it on the edge of the shoe. As a configuration of the embodiment, the whole of the wiring member 3 to be energized may be configured by the fixed wiring member 3A, or only a portion fixed to the edge of the shoe may be configured by the fixed wiring member 3A. As a metal material for forming the fixed wiring member 3A, an iron material or the like which is suitably rigid and bent as an example can be used, and the shape is preferably a strip-like flat thin shape as illustrated, but the cross section is round It may be linear. In the configuration of the present embodiment, the connector 10 is provided at the tip of the fixed wiring member 3A, and can be inserted into and removed from the connector 10 shown in FIG.
 図11は、靴の後面や側面で面状に発光させる本発明の実施例の構成である。アクリル材やシリコン材や塩化ビニル材等の透光性樹脂には導光性の性質があり、樹脂内に入射した光は樹脂内で反射拡散を繰り返し、樹脂内で均一化した光になって樹脂全体を光らせる性質がある。図11に示す構成は、実際に靴のロゴマークを面状に光らせる構成を示したもので、図10で示した起電部2から通電する配線材3や固定式配線材3Aに設けたコネクタ10によって、図11に示す配線材3とコネクタ10の抜き差しで接続でき、そのコネクタ10を接続した状態で足を踏み降ろすと、起電部2で起電した電気によってLED6が発光する。そのLED6が発光した光は、透光性樹脂で形成した面発光部9の導光式面発光部9b内に入射し、その入射した光は所望の面形状に形成した樹脂内で反射拡散を繰り返すため、その所望の面形状に光らすことが可能である。光る靴会社を示す導光式面発光部9bとして、図11ではプーマ社、ナイキ社、ニューバランス社のロゴマークを光らす構成になっている。所望の面形状に形成した導光式面発光部9bは、面ファスナー(マジックテープ(登録商標))等で靴の後面や側面に装着可能である。 FIG. 11 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention in which light is emitted in a planar manner on the rear surface or side surface of the shoe. A light transmitting resin such as an acrylic material, a silicon material, or a vinyl chloride material has a light guiding property, and light incident in the resin repeats reflection and diffusion in the resin and becomes uniform light in the resin. It has the property of making the entire resin glow. The configuration shown in FIG. 11 actually shows a configuration in which the logo of the shoe is illuminated in a plane, and the connector provided on the wiring member 3 to be energized from the electromotive unit 2 shown in FIG. 10 or the fixed wiring member 3A. 11, the wiring member 3 can be connected by inserting and removing the connector 10. When the connector 10 is connected and the foot is stepped down, the LED 6 emits light by the electricity generated by the electromotive unit 2. The light emitted from the LED 6 is incident on the light guiding type surface light emitting portion 9b of the surface light emitting portion 9 formed of the light transmitting resin, and the incident light is reflected and diffused in the resin formed in the desired surface shape To repeat, it is possible to illuminate the desired surface shape. As a light guide type surface emitting unit 9b showing a glowing shoe company, in FIG. 11, the logo mark of Puma, Nike and New Balance is illuminated. The light guide type surface light emitting unit 9b formed in a desired surface shape can be attached to the rear surface or the side surface of the shoe with a surface fastener (magic tape (registered trademark)) or the like.
 図12は、所望の文字や面状に光らせる他の実施例の構成を示したものであり、面発光部9としてフィルタ12で遮蔽してその開口部を発光させる遮蔽式面発光部9aで構成するものである。フィルタ12に予め所望の文字や面状の開口部を形成し、そのフィルタ12の後方から図示しないLED6で光らせると、その光は形成した開口部のみ通過するため、所望の文字や面状の部分のみが光って視覚できる。 FIG. 12 shows the construction of another embodiment for making desired letters and surface light shine, and it is composed of a shielding type surface light emission portion 9a which is shielded by the filter 12 as the surface light emission portion 9 and which makes its opening emit light. It is If desired letters and planar openings are formed in the filter 12 in advance, and light is emitted from the rear of the filter 12 with the LED 6 (not shown), the light passes only through the formed apertures, so the desired letters and planar portions You can see only the light.
 図13は、導光ファイバー11によって光を導光し、導光式面発光部9b内に光を入射させ導光させるようにした構成である。起電部2で起電した電気で発光したLED6の光を導光ファイバー11内に入射させると、その入射した光は導光ファイバー11内で反射拡散を繰り返して送られ導光式面発光部9b内へと入射される。その入射した光は導光式面発光部9b内で反射拡散を繰り返すため、図11で示した実施例と同様に所望の面形状に光らすことが可能である。導光ファイバー11は適当に屈曲する素材で形成することで、靴内に設けた起電部2が起電し発光したLED6の光を導光ファイバー11内に入射させ、その導光ファイバー11によって靴内で入射した光を靴の外へと導光することが可能である。 FIG. 13 shows a configuration in which light is guided by the light guide fiber 11, and light is made incident and guided in the light guide type surface light emitting section 9b. When the light of the LED 6 emitted by electricity generated by the electricity generation unit 2 is made to enter the light guiding fiber 11, the incident light is repeatedly reflected and diffused in the light guiding fiber 11, and is transmitted in the light guiding type surface light emitting unit 9b. It is incident on. Since the incident light is repeatedly reflected and diffused in the light guide type surface light emitting section 9b, it can be made to have a desired surface shape as in the embodiment shown in FIG. The light guiding fiber 11 is formed of a material that is appropriately bent, and the light of the LED 6 emitted and emitted by the electromotive unit 2 provided in the shoe is made to enter the light guiding fiber 11, and the light guiding fiber 11 It is possible to guide the incident light out of the shoe.
 尚、各実施例の構成において、LED6を覆ってその発光を拡散するカバーを設けてもよく、そのカバーを設けることで点状に光る発光を面状に光らせて発光でき、その面発光は夜間においては優しい疲れない発光で光らせることができる。また本発明において、起電部2で起電する起電流の電気信号を検出し、その電気信号によって歩数を計測する歩数計機能を具備してもよく、その歩数計機能の電源として例えばボタン電池を設けても、その電池の消耗は前記の電気信号を検出して表示するのみの消耗で済み、LED6を発光するための供給は全く必要無いため、その寿命をかなり伸ばすことができる。また前記上敷き2Dに足の裏を刺激する凸部を形成して構成しもよい。前述したように本発明の「靴の光装着具」であれば、既存のどんな靴にでも装着して、靴内に載置した平板状の起電部2を足踏みする運動によって、その圧電体で起電できて無電源で実施でき、しかもその起電する電気よって発光するLED6の方向を、装着する人の所望する方向に向けて装着し発光できるようになるため、従来、幾つも提案されてた「光る靴」の各発明と比べても、従来に無い格段の効果があり、そして本発明の「靴の光装着具」であれば、後方と側方の2方向で同時に視覚できるように向けて発光させることも可能である。 In the configuration of each embodiment, a cover may be provided to cover the LED 6 to diffuse the light emission, and by providing the cover, light emission that emits in the form of dots can be emitted to make the surface emit light. In the light can be lit with a gentle and not tired light. In the present invention, a pedometer function may be provided to detect an electric signal of an electromotive current generated by the electromotive unit 2 and measure the number of steps by the electric signal. For example, a button battery may be used as a power source of the pedometer function. However, since the consumption of the battery can be consumed only by detecting and displaying the electric signal, and the supply for emitting the light of the LED 6 is not required at all, the life can be considerably extended. Moreover, the convex part which stimulates the sole of a foot may be formed and comprised in said overlay 2D. As described above, in the case of the "light fitting for shoes" of the present invention, the piezoelectric body is mounted on any existing shoes and exercised by stepping on the flat plate-like electromotive unit 2 placed in the shoes. In the prior art, many have been proposed because the LED 6 can be mounted and emitted in the direction desired by the person who wears it, since the direction of the LED 6 that emits light due to the electricity generated can be directed to the direction desired by the user.
