Definitions

  • the present application relates to a removable gaiter for protecting footwear, in particular for limiting the infiltration of water/mud into the footwear and for protecting the areas of the instep and of at least some of the tibia of the user.
  • straps or cables entails, for the user, the need to couple one end of the strap or cable using tension adjustment means associated with the gaiter: this operation is not easy, since the user has to bend down in order to grasp this end and then tension it and couple it to the means.
  • This operation is inconvenient because it requires the user to use both hands, and these can only be used after a difficult rotation of the trunk, moreover performed in a bent position.
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks in conventional gaiters for footwear, by providing a removable gaiter that can be applied to the footwear rapidly, precisely and easily.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a removable gaiter that makes it possible to perform the coupling of the gaiter to the footwear using only one hand.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a removable gaiter that makes it possible to perform the coupling of the gaiter to the footwear while maintaining a comfortable position for the body.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a removable gaiter that in which the above characteristics can also be achieved in the step of disengaging the gaiter from the footwear.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a removable gaiter that makes it possible to offer optimal protection of the areas of the instep and of part of the tibia of the user, so increasing comfort while walking.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a removable gaiter that enables the user to walk safely, since there are no elements in the gaiter that, when the sole impacts against the ground, could catch on objects protruding from the ground which could cause the user to trip while walking.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a gaiter that makes it possible to achieve a good impermeability for the areas of the instep and of part of the tibia of the user.
  • Another object is to provide a removable gaiter that, in addition to the foregoing characteristics, is also reliable and safe in use, and which can be provided in a simple manner with the usual and conventional machinery and plants.
  • a removable gaiter for protecting a footwear comprising an upper, enveloping the foot of the user, which is associated with a sole and is provided with eyelets for laces for tying, which is characterized in that it comprises an upper portion, which when deployed envelops the area of the tibia of the user, and is connected to a lower portion, which when deployed envelops the area of the instep, said lower portion being provided, on the lower perimeter edge, with first means for temporary engagement with complementarily-shaped grip means associated with and protruding laterally from said upper 3 in an area above that of the heel of said sole.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a removable gaiter for protecting a footwear 2, particularly, but not exclusively, for the practice of hunting, cross-country skiing, trekking, alpine skiing, or safety in the workplace.
  • the footwear 2 is constituted by an upper 3, enveloping the foot of the user and optionally part of the tibia of the user, which is associated with a sole 4, and is provided with eyelets or lace-holes or holes 5 for laces for tying 6.
  • the removable gaiter 1 comprises an upper portion 7 which, when deployed, i.e. when the gaiter is associated with the footwear, envelops the area of the tibia 8 of the user.
  • the upper portion 7 is connected to a lower portion 9 which, when deployed, envelops the area 10 of the instep.
  • the upper portion 7 and the lower portion 9 are or are not made with the same soft material, which can be, for each one or separately, optionally partially or completely waterproof.
  • the gaiter In the condition in which the gaiter is not associated with the footwear, the gaiter can be arranged on a plane that gives it a substantially frustum shape with curved lateral sides.
  • the lower portion 9 has, on the lower perimeter edge 11, first means for temporary engagement 12 which interact with complementarily-shaped grip means 13 associated with the footwear 2.
  • the first means 12 are constituted, in the specific embodiment shown, by two strips 35a, 35b, made of the material known by the Velcro ® trademark, which are preferably rectangular and are coupled, at a first end 36a, 36b, by means of for example stitching, to the lower perimeter edge 11 of the lower portion 9 in an area adjacent to a vertical central axis 16 to the gaiter in the condition in which the gaiter is opened out on a plane.
  • the grip means 13 are associated with and protrude laterally from the upper 3 in an area above that of the heel 22 of the sole 4 and are located, in the condition in which the gaiter 1 is associated with the footwear, under the strips 35a, 35b.
  • the grip means 13 are each constituted by a band 23, advantageously metallic or made of a resilient material, shaped substantially like the Greek letter Q (omega) and arranged approximately parallel to the sole 4 transversely to the upper 3 at the heel area 22.
  • the shape of the strips 35a, 35b and of each one of the bands 23 is such as to define, once the respective band 23 is associated with the upper 3, a space 24 sufficient to allow the strips 35a, 35b to be inserted into it and for them to be folded until their second, free end 37a, 37b, for example with the hook part of the Velcro ® system, is positioned against an adapted strip 38a, 38b, with the loop part of the Velcro ® system, which is attached internally to the gaiter in an area that lies above the lower perimeter edge 11 of the lower portion 9.
  • the disengagement between the first means for temporary engagement 12 and the grip means 13 can therefore occur simply by manually detaching the second, free end 37a, 37b of the strips 35a, 35b from the strips 38a, 38b.
  • second means for temporary engagement 25 to at least one of the laces 6 which are constituted, in the specific embodiment shown, by a hook 26 protruding from the vertex of a substantially triangular flap 27 one side of which is stitched to the gaiter at an end of the lower perimeter edge 11.
  • the cap 29 of an automatic press-stud is placed on the other face of the flap 27, outside the lower portion 9, and cooperates with an adapted socket 30 associated with the other face of the gaiter to which the flap 27 is fixed.
  • the tapes of a zipper 32 are associated with the lateral edges 31a, 31b of the upper portion 7 and the lower portion 9 to draw them together so as to envelop, when deployed, the areas of the instep 10 and of the tibia 8.
  • the gaiter according to the invention has fully achieved the intended aim and objects, a gaiter having been provided that can be applied to an item of footwear rapidly, precisely and easily, while making it possible to perform the coupling to the footwear and disengagement using only one hand.
  • This coupling and disengagement can be performed while maintaining a comfortable position for the body without needing to rotate the trunk.
  • the height dimension of the upper portion 7 which when deployed, i.e. when the gaiter is associated with the footwear, envelops the area of the tibia 8 of the user can vary as a function of the degree of cover of the tibia that it is desired to have.
