Definitions

  • This invention relates to sandals of the type comprising a sole; and an upper comprising at least one strap anchored to the sole.
  • the upper comprises a strap arrangement defining a substantially Y-shaped configuration, the leg of the Y being anchored to the sole towards the front region thereof and being adapted to pass between the big toe and the adjacent toe of a wearer, and the arms of the Y being anchored to the sole in transversely spaces positions intermediate the front and rear ends of the sole and being adapted to pass over the instep of the foot of a wearer to opposite sides thereof.
  • the sole may comprise any suitable wear resistant synthetic polymer material, preferably polyurethane.
  • the upper may comprise at least one strap comprising a strip of natural or synthetic material.
  • the strap comprises a strip of material woven from natural or synthetic thread, such as nylon, polyester or cotton thread.
  • the strap may comprise a strip of leather.
  • Any suitable retaining element adapted to be locatable in the enlarged portion of an aperture through the sole and to engage with the retaining shoulder in the aperture, may be fitted to the strap end and firmly secured thereto in any suitable manner, such as by means of adhesive, stapling, rivetting, sewing or welding, after the strap end has been threaded through the aperture in the sole.
  • the end of a strap of strip-like configuration may be fast with an elongate, channel-shaped retaining element defining a groove in which the end of the strap is receivable.
  • the length of the channel may be commensurate with the width of the strap.
  • the stepped aperture may have an elongate configuration, the enlarged portion of the aperture being complementary to the retaining element.
  • the upper may comprise any suitable strap arrangement.
  • the upper comprises a strap arrangement defining a substantially Y-shaped configuration, the leg of the Y being adapted to be anchored to the sole in a zone towards the front end of the sole and to pass between the big toe and the adjacent toe of a wearer; and the two arms of the Y being adapted to be anchored to the sole in transversely spaced zones intermediate the front and rear ends of the sole and to pass over the instep of the foot of a wearer to opposite sides thereof, the sole being provided with a stepped aperture in each of the anchoring zones and the outer ends of the leg and of the two arms of the Y being fast with retaining elements locatable in the enlarged portions of the respective stepped apertures.
  • the sole may be provided in the anchoring zones of the arms of the Y with stepped apertures having forwardly and upwardly sloping configurations to permit the arms of the Y to slope forwardly and upwardly from the sole.
  • the retaining elements on the arms of the Y may also have forwardly and upwardly sloping configurations.
  • the sandal comprises sole A made of polyurethane and upper B comprising a strap arrangement of Y-shaped configuration.
  • the straps constituting the leg 1 and the two arms 2 of the Y comprise strips of woven nylon or polyester fabric which are stitched together in the junction zone 4.
  • the Y-shaped strap arrangement may be stamped out in one piece from leather.
  • the sole A is provided with a transversely disposed, stepped slot 5 extending through sole A in a position towards the front of the sole; and a pair of longitudinally disposed and transversely spaced, stepped slots 6 extending through sole A in positions intermediate the ends of sole A.
  • the slots 5 and 6 include enlarged portions 5a and 6a respectively on the lower side of sole A to define downwardly facing retaining shoulders 8 in the slots.
  • the retaining shoulders 8 are located in the sole A in positions intermediate the upper and lower surfaces of the latter.
  • the longitudinally extending slots 6 slope forwardly and upwardly from the lower surface of sole A.
  • the width of the straps 1 and 2 of upper B are complementary to the upper and smaller portions of slots 5 and 6 respectively so that the free ends la and 2a respectively of the straps can be threaded through the slots 5 and 6 respectively from the upper to the lower sides of sole A until the strap ends la, 2a protrude from the lower side of sole A.
  • An elongate, channel-shaped retaining element 9 with sloping ends 9a is provided for each of the strap ends 2a of the arms 2 of the Y-shaped upper B.
  • the sloping ends 9a are inclined upwardly and forwardly relative to the perpendicular to the bases of the retaining elements 9.
  • the retaining elements 9 are complementary to and locatable in the enlarged portions 6a of slots 6.
  • the retaining elements 9 include grooves 10 within which the strap ends 2a are receivable, the lengths of the channel-shaped retaining elements 9 being commensurate with the widths of the strap ends 2a.
  • retaining elements 9 are fitted on to the strap ends 2a so that the strap ends 2a are located in grooves 10. Retaining elements 9 are then secured firmly to strap ends 2a by means of adhesive 11 in grooves 10 and/or by means of staples 12 passing through the retaining elements 9 and the respective strap ends 2a as shown in figures 4 to 6 and particularly in figure 6.
  • the straps 2 can then be pulled upwardly and the retaining elements 9 pushed into the enlarged portions 6a of slots 6 so that the upper edges of the retaining elements 9 engage retaining shoulders 8 in slots 6.
  • the arms 2 of the Y-shaped strap arrangment slope forwardly and upwardly from sole A as shown in figure 2 and are anchored to sole A against upward withdrawal therefrom.
  • Retaining element 13 includes groove 14 within which strap end la is receivable, the length of channel-shaped retaining element 13 being commensurate with the width of strap end la.
  • Retaining element 13 is complementary to and locatable in the enlarged portion 5a of slot 5.
  • retaining element 13 is fitted onto the strap end la so that strap end la is located in groove 14. Retaining element 13 is then secured firmly to strap end la by means of adhesive in groove 14 and/or by means of staples 15 passing through retaining element 13 and the strap end la.
  • the strap 1 can then be pulled upwardly and the retaining element 13 pushed into the enlarged portion 5a of slot 5 so that the upper edges of retaining element 13 engage retaining shoulder 8 in slot 5.
  • the leg 1 of the Y-shaped strap arrangement is anchored to sole A against upward withdrawal therefrom.
