Shoehorn

Abstract

A shoehorn includes a body. The body has a connection portion and two holding portions respectively connected with two ends of the connection portion. A shoe-receiving space is defined within the connection portion and the two holding portions to receive a heel of a shoe. A guiding opening is formed between two ends of the two holding portions distal to the connection portion and communicating with the shoe-receiving space. Two blocking flanges are formed on and protrude inwardly from two inner side edge portions of the holding portions to block the heel of the shoe. Given the shoehorn, the connection portion and the holding portion and the shoe-receiving space facilitate users to easily take off a shoe. A grip stick expands the user groups of the shoehorn, and a shoe-receiving tool increases shoe-wearing effectiveness when connected with the body to press the body against the ground.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A shoehorn, comprising a body, wherein the body includes:
 a connection portion having a stick-mounting portion formed thereon;   two holding portions respectively connected with two ends of the connection portion;   a shoe-receiving space defined within the connection portion and the two holding portions and adapted to receive a heel of a shoe to be inserted in the body;   a guiding opening formed between two ends of the two holding portions distal to the connection portion and communicating with the shoe-receiving space;   two blocking flanges formed on and protruding inwardly from two inner side edge portions of the holding portions facing each other; and   a grip stick having a stick insertion end formed on one end of the grip stick and engaging the stick-mounting portion of the connection portion.   
     
     
         2 . The shoehorn as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the grip stick is curved. 
     
     
         3 . The shoehorn as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the grip stick is straight. 
     
     
         4 . The shoehorn as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a shoe-fitting tool, wherein the shoe-fitting tool has a tool insertion end formed on one end of the shoe-fitting tool; and
 the grip stick has a tool-receiving end connected with the tool insertion end of the shoe-fitting tool.   
     
     
         5 . The shoehorn as claimed in  claim 2 , further comprising a shoe-fitting tool, wherein
 the shoe-fitting tool has a tool insertion end formed on one end of the shoe-fitting tool; and   the grip stick has a tool-receiving end connected with the tool insertion end of the shoe-fitting tool.   
     
     
         6 . The shoehorn as claimed in  claim 3 , further comprising a shoe-fitting tool, wherein
 the shoe-fitting tool has a tool insertion end formed on one end of the shoe-fitting tool; and   the grip stick has a tool-receiving end connected with the tool insertion end of the shoe-fitting tool.   
     
     
         7 . The shoehorn as claimed in  claim 4 , further comprising a shoe-fitting tool, wherein
 the shoe-fitting tool has a tool insertion end formed on one end of the shoe-fitting tool; and   the grip stick has a tool-receiving end connected with the tool insertion end of the shoe-fitting tool.   
     
     
         8 . The shoehorn as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the two blocking flanges are integrally formed with the respective holding portions. 
     
     
         9 . The shoehorn as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the body has multiple reinforced ribs connected with the blocking flanges. 
     
     
         10 . The shoehorn as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connection portion and the two holding portions are integrally formed. 
     
     
         11 . The shoehorn as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the connection portion and the two holding portions are U-shaped. 
     
     
         12 . The shoehorn as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connection portion is semicircular.
