Metal toecap for safety shoes

Abstract

A metal toecap for safety shoes includes an arcuate peripheral wall that tapers forward, a top wall, and a bottom wall, defining a rear opening for receiving toes of a user. The peripheral wall and the top wall are connected by an upper arcuate transition section with a thickness that increases toward the top wall such that the top wall has a thickness greater than that of the peripheral wall. The impact-resisting property of the top wall is thus improved.

1 . A metal toecap for safety shoes, comprising: an arcuate peripheral wall that tapers forward, a top wall, and a bottom wall, defining a rear opening for receiving toes of a user; the peripheral wall and the top wall being connected by an upper arcuate transition section with a thickness that increases toward the top wall such that the top wall has a thickness greater than that of the peripheral wall.  
   
   
       2 . The metal toecap for safety shoes as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the metal toecap is made of one of aluminum and aluminum alloy.  
   
   
       3 . The metal toecap for safety shoes as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the top wall includes an inclined inner face in a rear portion thereof such that the thickness of the top wall reduces toward the rear portion thereof.  
   
   
       4 . The metal toecap for safety shoes as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the top wall includes a plurality of ribs on at least one of an outer face of the top wall and an inner face of the top wall.  
   
   
       5 . The metal toecap for safety shoes as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the peripheral wall and the bottom wall are connected by a lower arcuate transition section with a thickness that increases toward the bottom wall.  
   
   
       6 . The metal toecap for safety shoes as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the thickness of the top wall is greater than that of the bottom wall.  
   
   
       7 . The metal toecap for safety shoes as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the peripheral wall includes a plurality of ribs on an inner face thereof.
