Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an upgraded type slipper and particularly refers to flip-flop slippers,
  • the upper of the flip-flop slipper of known type is made up of a shoelace or lace associated with a plurality of anchorage elements inserted by deformation in corresponding holes obtained on the sole of the slipper itself.
  • the fastening by deformation occurs because the extremity of the anchorage elements, which has an essentially cylindrical appearance, is inserted in a relative housing seat passing through the corresponding through holes, having smaller section, made on the surface of the sole on which the foot rests.
  • slippers are known from FR1012306 , GB2440898 , JP07039403 and from WO02/089622 .
  • FR10123306 is considered as the known closest prior art to the present invention.
  • FR10123306 describes a slipper comprising a sole having a plurality of holes and an upper part or upper anchored to the sole by means of its holes.
  • the upper part also comprises a shoelace or the like connected to the sole by means of a plurality of anchorage elements.
  • Each anchorage element comprises a base, which is inserted in one of the holes obtained on the sole, and a projection that protrudes from the relative base and has a through hole through which the shoelace of the slipper is inserted.
  • the base of the anchorage elements of the slipper described by FR10123306 can, during use, exit or protrude from the lower surface of the sole.
  • the anchorage elements are in fact free to move with respect to the sole in the direction of the exit from the relative base from the hole in which it is housed. This type of slipper is not very practical because the user must, before use, move the various anchorage elements to the correct position.
  • the present invention intends overcoming the above drawback.
  • the aim of the present invention is to make a slipper in which the anchorage elements always maintain, in use and not in use, the correct position with respect to the sole, so that their base does not exit from the relative housing hole.
  • the present invention therefore intends providing a slipper that is highly practical and comfortable to use.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a slipper whose upper can be easily replaced, in such a way as to adapt it to the colour of the sole or of the clothes of the wearer.
  • figure 1 shows a pair of slippers, each of which is generally indicated by the reference number 1, which comprises a sole 2 having a plurality of holes 2a, generally equal to three in number, and an upper anchored to the sole 2 by means of the holes 2a.
  • the upper comprises at least a lace 3 and one or more anchorage elements 4 of the lace 3 to the sole 2.
  • the sole 2 has an upper surface 8a, on which the foot rests, and a lower surface 8b in contact with the ground.
  • the sole 2 is made of an elastically yielding material and the anchorage elements 4, made separately from the lace 3, can be inserted in a removable way in the sole 2 passing through the holes 2a.
  • the anchorage elements 4 according to the invention can have the same height or different heights the one from the other.
  • the anchorage elements according to the present invention can also have different shapes and colours the one from the other to allow the user to adapt them to changing fashions or to his/her own personal tastes.
  • Each anchorage element 4 comprises a. respective base 5, housed in one of the holes 2a, and a respective projection 6, preferably extending longitudinally, overhanging from the base 5 and having at least one through hole 7 through which is inserted the lace 3.
  • the anchorage elements 4 can have more than one through hole 7, so that several laces can be inserted in the same anchorage element 4.
  • the lace 3 can be composed of an open lace, like that of the type shown in figure 1 , or of a closed ring.
  • the anchorage element 4 also comprises a longitudinal slit 43 extending from the through hole 7 as far as the base 5.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable for use with lances 3 of the closed-ring type, which are therefore suitable for being introduced into the relative slits 43 before inverting the anchorage elements 4 in the sole 2.
  • the laces 3 can be made with single-colour or multi-colour strips, with filiform or tubular elements.
  • the holes 2a are at least double diameter, i.e., they have at least one part of larger diameter, suitable for housing the base 5 of the anchorage elements 4 and which faces onto the lower surface 8b of the sole 2, and a part of smaller diameter, through which pass the projections 6 and which faces onto the upper surface 8a.
  • each anchorage element 4 cooperates in fact with the sole 2 to prevent the movement of the anchorage element itself along at least a first direction 9a and the relative projection 6, which passes through the corresponding hole 2a, prevents its movement along the directions substantially transversal to the first direction 9a.
  • the base 5 defines a first stop 5a suitable for cooperating with a first counter-stop 10a defined by the sole 2 to contrast the movement of the relative anchorage element 4 along the first direction 9a.
  • the first counter-stop 10a is suitably defined by the hole 2a at the area of switchover from the larger diameter to the smaller diameter and is therefore placed in between the lower surface 8b and the upper surface 8a.
  • the profile of the base 5 is joined with the profile of the relative hole 2a and its bottom, having a circular section, is substantially aligned with the lower surface of the sole 2.
  • At least one of the anchorage elements 4 of the slipper 1 comprises retention means 53,63,73 suitable for securing the position of the slipper 1 with respect to the sole 2.
  • all the anchorage elements 4 have relative retention means 53,63,73. More specifically, the retention means 53,63,73 define at least a second stop 11 suitable for cooperating with a second counter-stop 10b defined by the sole 2 to contrast the movement of the relative anchorage element 4 along a second direction, indicated in the illustrations by the arrow 9b.
  • the second direction 9b is substantially contrary to the first direction 9a and the stops 5a and 11. are arranged substantially facing one another.
  • the retention means 53,63,73 are therefore suitable for preventing, following the insertion of the anchorage element 4 through the sole 2, the relative base 5 from coming out or protruding from the lower surface 8b of the sole itself.
  • the first stop 5a defined by the same base 5 prevents the relative projection 6 from protruding further from the upper surface 8a.
  • the base 5 and the retention means 53,63,73 therefore cooperate with the sole 2 to block the position of the relative anchorage element 4 with respect to the sole itself.
  • the second stop 11 is defined by a substantially flat surface.
  • the second stop 11 is defined by a substantially curvilinear surface.
  • the joining area of the peripheral edge of the second stop 11 with the projection 6 of the relative anchorage element 4 can be sharp edge or chamfered so as to favour the insertion of the relative anchorage element 4 in the corresponding hole 2a.
  • the second counter-stop 10b can be defined by the upper surface 8a of the sole 2, as indicated in the embodiments shown in the figures 5 , 9, 11, 12 and 13 , or else it can be defined too by the relative hole 2a and therefore placed in between the lower surface 8b and the upper surface 8a, as indicated in the embodiments shown in the figures 6 , 10, 14 and 15 .
  • the retention means 53,63,73 have a profile substantially joined to that of the corresponding hole 2a. More in detail, in the embodiments of figure 6 and of figure 15 , the holes 2a have a first area intended to house the base 5, a central area of smaller diameter compared to the first area and through which passes the projection 6 of the relative anchorage element 4, and a second area with section different to that of the central area and suitable for cooperating with the retention means 53,63,73.
  • the retention means are composed of at least a protrusion 53 defined by the projection 6 of the relative anchorage element 4.
  • the protrusion 53 has a truncated cone shape, as shown in the figures from 2 to 5 and in the figures 9, 10 and 13 , and the second stop 11 is defined by the larger-section base of the protrusion itself.
  • the side surface of the protrusion 53, connecting the second stop 11 to the top part of the relative projection 6 comprising the through hole 7, can be substantially rectilinear, as shown in the figures from 2 to 5, or can be substantially curvilinear, and in particular concave, as shown in the figures 9 and 10 , or convex, as shown in the figure 13 .
  • the retention means 53,63,73 are composed of at least a recess 63 defined by the projection 6 of the relative anchorage element 4.
  • the recess 63 is defined by a substantially concave surface, as shown in the figures 14 and 15 , but different embodiments cannot be ruled out in which the recess 63 is defined by a series of surfaces arranged at substantially right angles the one with the other.
  • the retention means are composed of a recess 63
  • such recess is, during use, drowned in the sole 2 and the relative hole 2a has a profile substantially joined to that of the recess itself
  • the second counter-stop 10b is defined by the hole 2a in which the relative anchorage element 4 is inserted.
  • the retention means 53,63,73 are associated in a removable way with the projection 6 of the relative anchorage element 4.
  • the retention means are composed of a snap ring 73 fitted in a removable way on the projection 6. This snap ring 73 is then widened to allow fitting and removal on the relative projection 6 and is released to make it then fasten onto the projection itself.
  • the operation of the present invention is the following.
  • the elements 4 are inserted in the holes 2a preferably from below, i.e., starting with the larger diameter of the holes 2a facing onto the lower surface 8b.
  • the insertion of the anchorage elements 4 through the relative holes 2a also means that the relative protrusion 53 deforms the hole itself when it passes through it.
  • the holes 2a have a corresponding swelling suitable for cooperating with the recess itself, and consequently the transit of the relative projection 6 results in the deformation of such swelling.
  • an open lace 3 is threaded along the through holes 7, as shown in figure 1 .
  • the lace 3 is tied with a knot behind the heel of the foot.
  • the lace 3 used can be of the closed-ring type and allows retaining the heel of the foot without the need for buckles or fastenings.
  • the closed-ring lace 3 e.g., of the elastic type, is first of all inserted along the slits 43 starting from the base 5 as far as the hole 7.
  • the anchorage elements 4 which have the longitudinal slits 43 can therefore accept both open laces 3 and those of the closed-ring type,
