Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to footwear. More specifically the invention relates to a process for production of a fastening system of interchangeable straps in sandals in accordance with the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the invention relates to a type of personal item designed to meet human needs.
  • footwear The primary use of footwear is to protect people's feet.
  • shoes are purchased based on criteria related to fashion trends and are used as a fashion accessory and as a complement to external image, more commonly known as "look".
  • footwear with interchangeable elements is not, due to its intrinsic characteristics, intended to facilitate the interchangeability of certain components to enable shoes to be differently configured while retaining an attractive aesthetic appearance which enables them to be used with different clothing styles, materials and colours.
  • shoes that change appearance by replacement of straps are provided. Interchangeability of the straps is made possible by a fastening mechanism consisting of spring connectors attached to the ends of each strap employed with the shoe where each spring connector includes at least one loop spring which engages a stud securely fixed to the lower part of the shoe.
  • US patent No. 5992058 provides for a shoe system with interchangeable elements whose fastening device consists of snap fasteners, located on the perimeter of the shoe sole, to which several flexible straps can be attached, said straps having a pair of opposite ends detachable from the sole and the heel of the shoe is also interchangeable via a screw to which the desired heel must be connected.
  • US patent No. 2002194750 provides for a shoe with a removable upper whose fastening mechanism consists of receiving openings in recesses located on the base of the shoe and fasteners which are coupled with said openings, which are located on said removable uppers.
  • US patent No. 2003233772 provides for interchangeable shoe coverings in which the fastener may consist of hooks, straps, snaps or laces.
  • US patent No. 200726650 provides for a shoe with two components which are independent of one another and interchangeable, namely an ankle strap with a fastening device consisting of snap fasteners which can be attached by means of rivets, adhesives or other known means and a vamp whose fastener also consists of snaps that can be attached using rivets, adhesives or other known means.
  • US patent No. 2007209238 provides for a vamp for use in shoes with interchangeable components, the vamp consisting of ends that include fasteners that interconnect with fasteners positioned on the edge of the shoe base.
  • US patent No. 2004064976 provides for an interchangeable shoe ensemble which includes a base member having snap fasteners along its periphery and positioned for connection to the corresponding snap fasteners on the interchangeable upper.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome these problems through a process for the production of a fastening system of interchangeable straps for sandals that is different from existing processes and has specific features in terms of fasteners.
  • the present invention presents a process for production of a fastening system of interchangeable straps in sandals that is different from conventional processes because it includes the following steps: preparation of the base by creation of several apertures in its material; coating of said base with adhesive for attachment of the material composing the outer layer of the platform, to secure the sole and the insole; application of a fastener within said base, piercing the outer layer of the platform, by pressure on the support which is traversed by said fastener which is inserted inside the base and passes through multiple apertures and is fastened permanently; fastening of said fastener ensuring so that the support remains a reasonable distance from the platform.
  • the platform of the fastening system of interchangeable straps in sandals may be with or without a heel and may adopt several configurations and aesthetic decorations.
  • the fasteners applied inside the base may be affixed to the extension of the periphery of the platform with a heel or positioned on the upper face of the insole of the base without a heel.
  • the interchangeable straps that are combinable with one another are replaced by disengaging and engaging the buttonholes on the supports.
  • the straps can also be fastened permanently to a platform with a heel or without a heel.
  • the present invention allows the user to wear sandals in different contexts by changing the strap to suit the outfit and personal taste, while ensuring, at the same time, comfort in use through the possibility of selecting the base that best fits the size and shape of the foot and the strap whose size is suitable for providing stability and comfort.
  • the present invention provides for a system allowing replacement of straps which, furthermore, can be combined with each other, allowing different colours and types of straps with the inherent ability of change in aesthetic appearance which, accordingly, allows numerous different models of sandals to be configured.
  • the present invention enables the physical space occupied by the shoe to be reduced as it provides for numerous different sandal models using a single platform to which interchangeable straps are connected providing for the composition of several sandal models.
  • the present invention provides for a system in which particular components, namely the platform and straps, can be of sizes that can be combined with each other to enable the sandal to fit the foot of each individual user, in a way that traditional footwear cannot.
  • the present invention provides a process for the production of a fastening system of interchangeable straps in sandals comprising the following steps:
