Definitions

  • the invention relates to a safety toe cap for mounting in a shoe.
  • Shoes used for instance in industrial environments may be reinforced with a toe cap of metal, composite materials or any other suitable material which is hard and durable.
  • toe caps or commonly referred to as steel-toe caps or safety toe caps.
  • a problem in the art is that a toe cap of metal or composite material tends to be cooled under cold weather conditions. This will decrease the ability of the shoe to keep a wearer's foot warm.
  • US 2003/070323 discloses a shoe with a toe box provided with a fibrous material for cold weather insulation purposes.
  • An oversized toe box is disclosed under which a thick (0.75-1 inches (about 19-25 mm)) layer of cold insulating material, being a fibrous material such as Thinsulate, is adhesively secured, and over which toe box an outer layer of a boot is stretched during manufacturing, all of which are further attached to an outsole of the boot.
  • the cold insulating layer is within the toe box, it is not compressed by the stretching of leather over the toe area.
  • the amount of dead air space in the cold insulating layer is not reduced, thereby improving the ability of the cold weather insulating layer to retain heat.
  • a problem with the shoe disclosed in US 2003/070323 is that it is bulky.
  • An object of the present invention is to solve or at least mitigate this problem and provide a safety toe cap which improves the ability of a shoe in which the safety toe cap is mounted to keep a wearer's foot warm.
  • a safety toe cap for mounting in a shoe, which safety toe cap is arranged with a fibrous coating on at least one of its sides to create an air gap between the safety toe cap and a section of the shoe facing the fibrous coating.
  • an air gap is created between the safety toe cap and a section of the shoe facing the coated side.
  • This has the effect that the shoe is not in direct contact with the at least one side of the safety toe cap being coated, thereby reducing transfer of cold from the shoe to the toe cap and ultimately to the foot of a wearer of the shoe. Instead, the air in the gap created will be warmed up and thus have a warming effect on the toe cap.
  • the coating is fibrous, hence convection of warmed-up air in the gap is prevented since the fibrous coating will cause a frictional force to act on the air mass thereby preventing downdraft of the warmed-up air.
  • both the inside and the outside of the safety toe cap are arranged with the fibrous coating.
  • a first air gap is created between the outside of the toe cap and a section of the shoe facing the coated outside, while a second air gap is created between the inside of the toe cap and a section of the shoe facing the coated inside. This will further prevent the foot of the wearer from becoming cold from a low environmental temperature.
  • the fibrous coating is deposited onto the safety toe cap by means of flocking.
  • flocking advantageously enables the small fibres to be arranged very close to each other, thereby making it possible to cause a relatively great frictional force to act on an air mass in the gap created between the coating and the shoe to prevent it from sinking towards the bottom of the shoe.
  • the safety toe cap is made of aluminium being advantageous for instance owing to its lightness.
  • the fibrous coating is made of a fleece material being advantageous for instance owing to its insulating properties.
  • the object of the present invention is further attained in a second aspect of the present invention by a shoe comprising the safety toe cap according to embodiments of the present invention.
  • FIG 1 shows a safety toe cap 10 according to an embodiment.
  • the outside 11 of the safety toe cap 10 is shown, i.e. the side of the toe cap facing the front of a shoe in which it is mounted.
  • the outside 11 of the toe cap 10 is arranged with a fibrous coating, in this case a fleece material having been flocked onto the toe cap 10.
  • FIG 2 shows the safety toe cap 10 of Figure 1 in another view, where the other side of the toe cap is provided with the fibrous coating.
  • the inside 12 of the safety toe cap 10 is shown, i.e. the side of the toe cap facing the foot of a wearer of the shoe in which it is mounted.
  • the inside 12 of the toe cap 10 is arranged with a fibrous coating in the form of a fleece material having been flocked onto the toe cap 10.
  • a front section of the safety toe cap 10 is provided with a flange 15 extending radially from the safety toe cap 10 in a direction towards the foot of a wearer of a shoe in which the toe cap is mounted in order to further protect the wearer from being injured.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a sectional view of the safety toe cap 10 according to embodiments of the present invention when mounted in a shoe 20.
  • a first air gap is created between the outside 11 of the toe cap 10 and a section 21 of the shoe with which the fibrous coating 13 arranged on the outside 11 of the shoe 10 is in contact.
  • the fibrous coating 13 further results in a frictional force preventing downdraft of the warmed-up air in a direction towards the outer sole 23 of the shoe 20.
  • a second air gap is created between the inside 12 of the toe cap 10 and a section 22 of the shoe 20 with which the fibrous coating 14 arranged on the inside 12 of the shoe 10 is in contact.
  • the air in the second air gap will be warmed-up and prevent the toe cap from being cooled down by cold ambient temperature; the fibrous coating 14 further results in a frictional force preventing downdraft of the warmed-up air in a direction towards the outer sole 23 of the shoe 20.
