Description

Transformable footwear.

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a shoe transformable, consisting of a lower floor and an upper cut, whose cut is removably mounted on the floor or removable.

This feature allows you to have a interchangeable cut footwear, using the same floor, so that with cuts of different structure or appearance can be arranged of different models or types of footwear.

The joining means of the cut and floor consist on a zipper, one of whose rows of teeth is fixed to the lower edge of the cut while the other row of teeth goes fixed to the floor, on its upper surface, according to an outline that is coincident and confrontable with the contour of the row of teeth fixed to the cut. The row of teeth fixed to the floor is located next to the free edge of it.

Of the two rows of teeth, one of them will be carrier of the closing cursor. In addition one of the rows of teeth will present a small interruption, in which the start of the zipper, for coupling or introduction into the cursor mounted on the other row of teeth.

The union of the rows of teeth to the floor and cut  It can be done by sewing, gluing, heat sealing, etc.

The main feature of the footwear of the invention lies in the fact that the floor and cut constitute independent pieces, both provided with joining means, constituted by a zipper that allows the union and separation Quickly and easily the two pieces.

With this constitution you can exchange the cutting, using the same floor, thus being able to have footwear of different type and line, whether in color, style, model, etc.

Brief description of the drawings

The attached drawings show an example of  non-limiting realization, which will serve to better understand the constitution and characteristics of the footwear of the invention. In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective of a shoe assembled, constituted according to the invention.

Figure 2 shows in perspective the floor that becomes part of the footwear of figure 1.

Figure 3 is a perspective of the cut that becomes part of the footwear of figure 1.

Figure 4 is a partial view of the footwear in An initial phase of assembly.

Figure 5 is a perspective similar to the Figure 1, showing the footwear in an intermediate phase of mounting.

Detailed description of one embodiment

A detailed description is given below. of the example shown in the drawings which, as shown in Figure 1 corresponds to a boot type shoe, consisting of a upper cut 1 and a lower floor 2. These two pieces are independent, as shown in figures 2 and 3 and join by means of a zipper 3, one of whose rows 4 is fixed to the floor 2, while the other row of teeth 5 is fixed to the cut 1, along the lower edge thereof.

The row of teeth 4 fixed to floor 2 will define a contour coincident and confrontable with the contour of the row of teeth 5 fixed to the cut 1. In addition the row of teeth 4 will be located at or near the edge of the surface upper floor 2.

One of the rows of teeth, in the example represented in the drawings the row of teeth 4 fixed to the floor 2, It is the carrier of the cursor 6 of the zipper. The row of teeth 5 fixed to the lower edge of the cut 1 has a small interruption 7, figure 3, which is limited by heads 8 which limit the ends or ends of the row of teeth 5.

To mount the cut 1 on the floor 2 you face one of the heads 8 with the cursor 6 on the floor, figure 4, by entering it and then pulling the cursor 6, to start the coupling of the teeth of the two rows 4 and 5 and with it the zipper closure, as shown in the figure 5.

The footwear of the invention allows to have two or more cuts of different types, some cuts being able to be high, boot type, as shown in the drawings, or be shoe cut, shoe type.

The 2nd floor can be of any nature, obtained for example by molding suitable materials, being able to corresponding row of teeth 4 be attached to the floor during the injection process to it.

Cut 1 will be flexible in nature, but it can also be of any type, based on a fabric resistant, natural or artificial skin, etc.
