Definitions
- This patent application for a utility model concerns a waterproof bag for protecting shoes worn over the shoe.
- the item in question is very light, small and easy to fold as well as being sturdy and inexpensive; a pair of these bags may easily be purchased by anyone - and more importantly - may be carried as a precaution even if there is the slightest doubt that weather and environmental conditions may be bad.
- the bag in question is easy to put on thanks to the fact that the same is provided with a longitudinal front opening in proximity of the shoe upper fitted with laces; means for tying the opening are quite naturally provided once the bag in question is worn over the shoe.
- These means may consist either of a zipper, a pull off fastener, laces or buttons.
- the mouth of the bag - namely in proximity of the heel - is provided with a collar having an elastic band or lace to tie the bag against the leg in order to prevent the entry of humidity in this area as well.
- the bag is provided with rubber inserts on the tip and sole.
- the item in question may be manufactured in many different versions which may be adapted to different requirements, namely for men's, ladies' and children's shoes, high or low shoes, and for shoes with or without heel.
- the item according to the invention consists of a bag made of waterproof cloth (1) designed to be worn over shoes, and accordingly shaped approximately like a shoe; in particular, in the case of the model in figure 1 showing the version for shoes without heel, the bottom wall (2) is completely flat.
- the bag model (1b) in figure 3, which is designed for shoes with heel, is provided at the bottom with a back section (2a) which is separated and quite distinct from the front section (2b) of the bag; in particular, this section (2a) is expressly designed to house the heel of the shoe.
- the bag (1) in question is provided with a collar (5) at its mouth in order to tie the bag once it has been fitted over the shoe.
- the bag (1) in question could be provided with a rubber sole (6) over the entire treading surface.
- the bag (1) could also be made in a version provided with rubber tip (7) and heel (8) which not only cover the corresponding "upper” section but also a brief section of the treading surface at the two longitudinal ends.
