Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a shoe with luminous effect.
- Rain boots, particularly but not exclusively for children, are currently known which in order to stimulate the interest of the potential buyer and to respond to the requirements of fashion are marketed in different colors or with particular decorations.
- Shoes, particularly sports or casual shoes for children, are also known which have a particular luminous effect due to the propagation of light outside the sole.
- This effect is due to the presence of lights, typically of the LED type, which are connected to a battery-based power source inserted manually in the sole of the shoe, usually under the insole, in a seat provided as a consequence of the molding of the sole or of the shoe proper and covered by the insole.
- This type of shoe suffers drawbacks.
- The LED-based luminous device in fact can be easily reached and tampered with and therefore can be dangerous especially for children.
- Moreover, a luminous device inserted in the manner described above in the shoe is not perfectly waterproofed, since it can be subject to moisture due to perspiration of the foot or infiltrations of water. Consequently, the noxious substances contained in less than perfectly insulated batteries may propagate until they make contact with the foot.
- The aim of the present invention is to provide a shoe with a particular luminous effect that is due to the presence of a lighting device that is installed in the sole and not removable, particularly by children, ensuring higher safety levels than shoes of the known type.
- Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a shoe with luminous effect wherein the lighting device be insulated in a waterproof manner, preserving its operation and ensuring higher levels of safety for the health of the user.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a shoe with luminous effect that is structurally simple and can be manufactured with known technologies and with low costs.
- This aim, as well as these and other objects that will become better apparent hereinafter, are achieved by a shoe with luminous effect, characterized in that it comprises a lighting device enclosed in a protective sealing enclosure embedded in the plastic material of a sole part that is at least partially permeable to light and at least partially visible from the outside.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become better apparent from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of the shoe according to the invention, illustrated by way of nonlimiting example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
Figure 1 is a side view of the shoe according to the invention; -
Figure 2 is a bottom plan view of the shoe according to the invention; -
Figure 3 is a sectional view of a part of the shoe according to the invention; -
Figure 4 is a sectional view of another part of the shoe according to the invention; -
Figure 5 is a bottom plan view of another shoe model according to the invention. - With reference to the figures, the shoe according to the invention is designated generally by the
reference numeral 10 and in the illustrated example consists of a rain boot for children. -
Figures 3 and 4 show two corresponding halves of ashoe 10 shown in cross-section. - By viewing
Figure 3 , it is evident that alighting device 11, enclosed in aprotective sealing enclosure 14 embedded in the plastic material of asole part 12 that is permeable to light, is part of theshoe 10. - The
lighting device 11 is of the LED type and operation depends on vibrations which, transmitted during walking, light the LEDs. - The sole 13 of the
shoe 10 is made of plastic material and in particular thesole part 12 is advantageously overmolded on thelighting device 11 enclosed in theprotective enclosure 14. - Conveniently, the
protective enclosure 14 is transparent and resistant to pressure and to the injection-molding temperature. Theprotective enclosure 14 is made of transparent plastic material and can be replaced equivalently with a container having the same characteristics. - In greater detail, the
lighting device 11 has acentral body 15 around whichLEDs 16 are arranged and is overmolded with the material of aninsole 17 of the sole 13, except for the regions in which theLEDs 16 are present, being accommodated in aseat 18 that lies below theinsole 17 and is integral therewith. Theseat 18 therefore is provided in one piece with theinsole 17 during the same injection molding step. In particular, thelighting device 11 is arranged conveniently in the heel region, where the thickness of thesole part 12 is greater and the sole 13 does not flex while walking. - The
sole part 12 is overmolded on theinsole 17, wrapping around theseat 18, and in this manner thelighting device 11 is substantially immersed in thesole part 12. - As an alternative, the
shoe 10 can be manufactured by overmolding theinsole 17 on thesole part 12. - As shown clearly in
Figure 4 , theseat 18 is provided withopenings 19. Said openings are four in number, i.e., the two shown in the figure and two more on theother shoe half 10 shown inFigure 3 , in which they are not visible because they are covered by thelighting device 11. -
Protrusions 20 of thecentral body 15 protrude from theopenings 19, are mutually equidistant and support theLEDs 16. Such LEDs are arranged advantageously substantially on four opposite corners in order to obtain a substantially uniform light distribution within thesole part 12. - The
insole 17 is provided in one piece with the upper 21 of theshoe 10, which thus comprises, in the illustrated example, also the quarter of the boot, since they are provided in a single injection-molding step and in a single mold. - As an alternative, only the lower part of the upper can be injection-molded and portions of quarter made of other materials can be sewn thereto, as occurs for example in après-ski boots.
- The
sole part 12 is instead overmolded on theinsole 17, with theseat 18 integral therewith (as already anticipated, as an alternative theinsole 17 can be overmolded on the sole part 12) and on atread 22 and conveniently is made of a single plastic material that makes it entirely permeable to light. In the illustrated example, it in fact constitutes the midsole of theshoe 10; however, in other models it can constitute only a portion thereof that is permeable to light at the heel. -
Figure 5 is a bottom plan view of another rain boot model, in which thesole part 12 that is permeable to light, in this case also the midsole, is less covered by thetread 22 than the previous example, the bottom plan view of which is shown inFigure 2 . - Operation of the boot according to the invention is as follows.
- The
lighting device 11 is sensitive to the vibrations transmitted by walking, which therefore light theLEDs 16. Even with small movements of the foot, thelighting device 11 emits intermittent light beams. - The particular shape of the
lighting device 11 allows to distribute the light within thesole part 12 in a substantially uniform manner in all directions. - The example shown describes and illustrates a rain boot, but the same inventive concept can be applied for the production of footwear in general, such as also mules, shoes and après-ski boots.
- It should be noted that following the overmoldings, the tread, the sole part or midsole, and the insole are mutually associated so as to constitute the sole substantially in one piece, completely insulating the lighting device embedded therein.
- In this manner, the possibility that infiltrations of water or sweat might reach the lighting device, compromising its operation or causing the propagation of noxious substances contained in the batteries, or that the device is tampered with, is excluded.
- The lighting device in fact can be reached only after destroying the shoe.
- In practice it has been found that the invention achieves the intended aim and objects, since by achieving perfect insulation of the lighting device it ensures higher safety levels than shoes of the known type, especially for children, in addition to making it impermeable, preserving its operation.
- Another advantage of the shoe according to the invention is that it achieves diffuse lighting of the sole part, visible from the outside by way of the particular arrangement of the LEDs in the lighting device, which achieves a new particular luminous effect that is capable of stimulating the interest and curiosity of the potential buyer also for rain boots or for après-ski boots.
- Moreover, the shoe is structurally simple and can be manufactured with known technologies and with low costs. During the production of the shoe, the lighting device is in fact inserted directly in the mold, with a lower labor cost.
- The invention thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims; all the details may further be replaced with other technically equivalent elements.
- In practice, the materials used, so long as they are compatible with the specific use, as well as the contingent shapes and dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
