Description
- This invention relates generally to an article identifying device and particularly, but not exclusively, to the provision of an identifying device on footwear, luggage and other personal articles.
- The provision of identifying indicia on clothing, including footwear, and on luggage and other similar articles serves at least two purposes. One purpose is to identify the manufacturer of the article and, to this end, such articles are frequently provided with representative insignia of the manufacturer such as a distinctive logo or trademark which provides the purchaser with a means of identifying the source of goods. Another purpose is to identify the owner of the article, for example by use of a distinctive color. This latter purpose is particularly applicable to athlete's apparel and other sporting equipment in team sports and it is common for the athletes and cheerleaders to wear clothing bearing the team colors as well as the team name.
- While it is relatively easy to provide most articles of clothing, such as shirts and shorts, with the desired means of identification it is more difficult to provide the same identification on footwear and other articles. It is possible to attach color and shape patches to such articles by Velcro hook "and loop fasteners, for example, but there are disadvantages in that the patches tend to curl and are susceptible to being inadvertently pulled from the article.
- The present invention solves this problem in a manner not available in the known prior art.
- This invention provides a means of attaching identifying indicia to articles such as footwear, luggage and other personal articles so that it cannot readily be inadvertently removed.
- According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention the article having an identifying device attached thereto may include an article portion; retaining means may be provided, preferably in the form of a retainer including a base and a wall defining a socket. Preferably the wall is in the form of a peripherally extending wall. Desirably means for attaching the retainer to the article portion is also provided. An identifying element may interfit the socket, and means between the retainer and the element may hold the element in captive relation in the socket.
- It is an aspect of this invention to provide a raised socket wall and another aspect to provide that the interfitting element is substantially the same shape as the socket.
- It is an aspect of this invention to provide the article portion with first and second plies of material the second ply including an opening, and to provide the base with an outstanding flange at least in part sandwiched between the plies of material, the raised wall of the retainer extending outwardly from the opening.
- It is another aspect of this invention to provide the wall and identifying element with a cooperating rib and groove to provide the means of holding the element within the socket.
- It is yet another aspect of this invention to provide that one of the wall and identifying portions is formed from a relatively resilient material whereby the identifying element is snap-fittingly receivable into the socket.
- Still another aspect of this invention is to provide the retainer with a second peripherally extending wall defining a second socket and to provide a second identifying element. It is yet another aspect of this invention to provide a pair of sockets and elements of generally triangular configuration, still another aspect to provide that the elements are of a different colour, yet another aspect to provide that the elements include opposed faces of different colour and another aspect to provide that the peripheral walls are substantially transparent.
- Reference is now made to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an athletic shoe incorporating the identifying device;
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged plan view of the identifying element;
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a removable identifying element;
- FIG. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view of a modified identifying device, and
- FIG. 6 is a fragmentary sectional view of another modified identifying device.
- Referring now by reference numerals to the drawing and first to FIG. 1 it will be understood that an identifying device, generally indicated by
numeral 10, is intended for attachment to an article which is shown, by way .of example, as an article of footwear such as anathletic shoe 12. - In the embodiment shown the
athletic shoe 12 is generally of the double vamp, double lace type of athletic shoe disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,546,729. However, it will be understood that this particular shoe is shown merely by way of illustration and that the identifyingdevice 10 can also be used with other shoes such as the more common single vamp, single lace athletic shoe. - The
shoe 12 is conventional in that it includes a sole 14 and anupper portion 16 attached to the sole, as by stitching. The upper 16 includes atoe 18, aheel 20, and lower andupper vamp portions tongue 26. Thelower vamp portion 24 includes aU-shaped reinforcing portion 28 havingeyelets 30 receiving alower lace 32 and theupper vamp portion 24 includes inner and outer reinforcingportions 34 and 36 respectively, havingeyelets 30 receiving anupper lace 38. The inner reinforcing portion 34 is in the form of a strip of conventional width. However, theouter reinforcing portion 36 is substantially wider to accommodate the identifyingdevice 10 between the two plies of material provided by thevamp reinforcing portion 36 and the underlying material 24' of thevamp portion 24. - The identifying
device 10 is best shown by reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 and, in the preferred embodiment, includes aretainer 40 having abase 42 and a pair of peripherally extendingraised walls 44. Thebase 42 extends outwardly of the raisedwalls 44 to provide acontinuous flange 46 and the raisedwalls 44 each include a peripherally extendingrib 48. The raisedwalls 44 cooperate with thebottom wall 42 to define a pair ofsockets 50 and 50' which, in the embodiment shown, are of identical, generally triangular configuration. However, it will readily be understood that the configurations of the twosockets 50 and 50' are not limited to being of the same form. - The identifying
device 10 also includes a pair of identifyingelements 60 and 60' which are of substantially the same shape and size as the associatedsockets 50 and 50' so that they are readily receivable by said sockets. Each identifyingelement 60 and 60' includes upper andlower convex faces 62 and aperipheral groove 64 which is of a size to receive thewall rib 48. The identifyingelements 60 and 60' are intended to be a snap-fit into the associatedsockets 50 and 50' respectively. Accordingly, either the sockets or the elements or both, as in the embodiment shown, are formed from a resilient material. Such material can be rubber or thermoplastic, the latter having the advantage that it can readily be colored. Theelements 50 and 50' can if desired be either the same color or two different colors. In addition, the upper face can be colored differently from the lower face. Because of their shape and resilience, saidelements 60 and 60' can readily be temporarily deformed for insertion into thesockets 50 and 50', the cooperating ribs andgrooves elements 60 and 60' in captive relation within associatedsockets 50 and 50' of theretainer 40. - FIGS. 5 and 6 show modified holding means. In FIG. 5, an
upper rib 48A is provided for thewall 44A which is engageable with theupper face 62 of the identifyingelement 60A. In FIG. 6 the wall 44B and the side of theelement 60B are cooperatively inclined to be engageable with each other. In other respects the retainer and snap-fit identifying elements shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are identical. - As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 the identifying
device 10 is attached to theupper portion 16 of the shoe by cooperation between thecontinuous flange 46 and the underlying and overlying plies of material provided by the underlying vamp material 24' and the reinforcingportion 36. To this end, the reinforcingportion 36 includes openings 66 which are of substantially the same size and configuration of the outside dimension of the raisedwalls 44. Because of this arrangement the margins of the reinforcing portion openings 66 overlaps theflange 46 and the attachment is completed by a peripheral line of stitching 68 around theflange 46. It will be understood that the material of the retainer is of thermoplastic material, or the like, which is sufficiently strong to hold the identifying element in place but can be pierced for stitching. In order to faciliate attachment of theretainer 40, the stitching 70 attaching the reinforcingportion 36 to the underlying vamp material 24' is accomplished after theretainer 40 is stitched to saidstrip 36. - Preferrably, the
shoe 12 is delivered to the user with a choice ofseveral elements 60 and 60' of different colors. Theelements 60 and 60', because of their snap-fit relationship with associatedsockets 50 and 50', are readily removable. They are just as readily installed with elements of a different color to suit the user but are nevertheless securely retained in position when pressed into place. Because of this it is a simple matter for the identifying device to be made in a particular shape, for example, of a manufacturer's logo, and to be made of distinguishing colors, for example, to suit particular athletic team colors. Further, to provide additional versatility each face of each element can be colored differently. In the preferred embodiment the raisedwalls 44 defining thesockets 50 and 50' are of a generally transparent material to disclose more fully the color of theelements 60 and 60'. - It will be understood that while the identifying device has been shown as used on an article of footwear it is not limited to this use and can be used, for example, for personalizing other articles such as luggage, handbags, identification tags and similar articles.
- In view of the above it will be seen that various aspects and features of the invention are achieved and other advantageous results attained. While preferred embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the invention in its broader aspects.
