Abstract

Shoe comprising an upper (10), to the lower edge of which a bottom (12) is attached, to which bottom (12) at least one interchangeable sole element is removably fixed by elastic means. Said elastic means are provided with a control pushbutton (26, 62) arranged in a through-hole (28, 64) made in the bottom (12).

Description

Shoe with interchangeable sole elements
The present invention relates to the field of shoes with replaceable components. The aim of the present invention is to provide a shoe which is improved compared to known shoes of the type described above.
According to the invention, this aim is achieved thanks to a shoe comprising an upper, to the lower edge of which a bottom is attached, to which bottom at least one interchangeable sole element is removably fixed by elastic means, said elastic means being provided with a control pushbutton for release, arranged in a through-hole made in said bottom .
One advantage offered by the shoe of the present invention is that it allows the interchangeable elements to be replaced quickly and rapidly, without compromising the functionality and stability of the shoe when worn. These elements may, for example, be a front plateau, a heel and/or a wedge with an integral heel extending longitudinally from one end of the shoe to the other. To replace the element, all the wearer has to do is press said pushbutton to release the element previously attached and thus proceed to insert the replacement element.
The inter-replaceable elements may be either identical to one another or different from one another in aesthetic and/or geometric terms.
In the former case, therefore, the purpose of the replacement will essentially be to replace a worn or damaged element, which can be disposed of without having to throw away the whole shoe.
In the latter case, however, the purpose of the replacement will be to change the characteristics of the shoe, for example by transforming a low shoe into a high-heeled shoe, or by changing the look without altering the geometry. This transformation is, obviously, reversible, so that the elements replaced will be kept so that they may be reused in future, thus making it possible to have a whole range of shoes that use the same upper. Further features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description which follows, which is provided by way of non-limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shoe of the invention, when assembled,
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the shoe of Figure 1 ,
Figure 3 is a bottom perspective view of the shoe of Figure 1 with exploded plateau, Figure 4 is a bottom perspective view, with exploded heel, of the rear portion of the shoe of the preceding figures, and
Figure 5 is a perspective view of an interchangeable wedge according to a further embodiment of the shoe of the invention.
A shoe comprises (Figures 1-4) an upper 10, to the lower edge of which a bottom 12 is attached in a conventional manner, a front plateau 14 and a heel 16, which constitute interchangeable sole elements, the latter being removably fixed by respective elastic means - namely by selective engagement - to the front and rear portions of said bottom.
In the present description, the term "selective engagement" refers to a connection means that can be coupled/uncoupled a desired number of times without compromising the stability of the coupling or the ease of uncoupling.
The front plateau 14 has a body delimiting an upwardly-open cavity 18 for housing elastic means constituted by an L-shaped member 20 with a first substantially vertical arm 22 fixed to the floor of the cavity 18 and a second substantially horizontal arm 24. A control pushbutton 26 for releasing the plateau 14 is fixed to the distal end of the arm 24 and arranged in a through-hole 28 made in the bottom 12 so as to be flush with the upper face of the latter.
A tab 30, whose distal end is inserted into a seat 32 of complementary shape made in the bottom 12, also protrudes inside the cavity 18 in front of the elastic member 20, and respective shaped reliefs 34, whose distal ends are inserted into respective seats 36 of complementary shape made in the bottom 12, protrude at the sides of the elastic member 20. The heel 16 has an upper face from which a fixing pin 38 protrudes, said fixing pin having a cylindrical base 40 and a frusto-conical head 42 separated by a circumferential groove 44 which constitutes a housing seat for respective elastic means, as will be described below. The pin 38 is inserted in a chamber 46 that is made within a socle 48 fixed to the rear portion of the bottom 12, an auxiliary member 50 shaped to form a substantially annular cavity 52 around the socle 48 also being fixed to said rear portion. The base of the socle also includes two passages (not shown in the figures) which place the chamber 46 in communication with the annular cavity 52.
The elastic means for selective engagement of the heel 16 are constituted by a substantially U-shaped wire 54 having a base section from which two wave-shaped elastic prongs 56 depart, whose centre portions, that may protrude into the chamber 46 through the respective passage in the base of the socle 48, are housed within the circumferential groove 44, and whose distal portions can be moved apart by one end of a slider 58 elastically mounted within a slot 60 made perpendicularly through the bottom 12. Moreover, at the opposite end of the slider 58, a respective control pushbutton 62 is fixed, said pushbutton being arranged in a further through-hole 64 made in the bottom 12, so as to be flush with the upper face of the latter.
Seats 66 for the insertion of two protuberances 68, which protrude from the respective front-side portions of the auxiliary member 50, are also made in the upper face of the heel 16. A seal (not shown in the figures) may also be inserted in the annular cavity 52 so as to occupy the spaces remaining free and confer greater mechanical strength.
The methods for assembling the shoe just described will now be described below.
The plateau 14 is brought up to the front portion of the bottom 12, taking care that the pushbutton 26 of the elastic member 20 is aligned with the hole 28, and the tab 30 and the reliefs 34 are aligned with the respective seats 32, 36. Thus the plateau 14 and the bottom 12 are brought into contact, in such a way that the pushbutton 26 is inserted in the hole 28 and the distal ends of the tab 30 and the reliefs 34 are inserted in the respective seats 32, 36. In this way, the plateau 14 stays firmly attached to the front portion of the bottom 12.
Likewise, the upper face of the heel 16 is brought up to the rear portion of the bottom 12 to which the socle 48 and the auxiliary body 50 are attached, taking care that the fixing pin 38 is aligned with the chamber 46. The pushbutton 62 is then pressed, causing the slider 58 to move down and push the distal ends of the prongs 56 apart so that their centre portions move out of the chamber 46. The pin 38 can thus freely enter said chamber, and, once it has done so, the pushbutton 62 is released so that the centre portions of the prongs 56 move into the circumferential groove 44 of the pin 38. In this way, the heel 16 is firmly attached to the rear portion of the bottom 12 and correct mutual engagement is further ensured as the protuberances 68 of the auxiliary member 50 enter the respective seats 66 of the heel 16. The stability of the assembled shoe is also guaranteed by a peripheral wall that extends from the outer edge of the upper face of the heel 16, all the way around the latter, and encloses the auxiliary element 50.
Conversely, by pressing the pushbutton 26 and pulling on the plateau 14, it is possible to separate the latter from the rest of the shoe, as the strength of resistance to separation offered by the elastic member 20 is overcome. Likewise, by pressing the pushbutton 62 and pulling on the heel 16, it is possible to separate the latter from the rest of the shoe, as the slider 58 moves the distal ends of the prongs 56 apart, so that their centre portions move out of the chamber 46 and release the pin 38 protruding from the upper face of the heel 16. " '
The operations for assembly/disassembly are therefore very simple and intuitive, and in particular may be completed quickly and without any difficulty whatsoever simply by pressing the pushbuttons 26, 62. Therefore, the same upper 10 may be combined with a plurality of different pairs of front plateau 14 and heel 16, which differ in terms of appearance and/or geometric features. It is therefore possible to have a whole range of different shoes at lower cost, taking up less space. It also goes without saying that, in the event of wear/accidental damage to the heel 16 or the front plateau 14, it is possible to replace just the element that is worn/damaged with an identical one without having to do anything to the other element. Figure 5 shows an alternative embodiment of an interchangeable element for a shoe of the invention, in which reference signs identical to those used in the preceding figures are used for the same or equivalent parts. In this case, the interchangeable sole element is a wedge 70 which extends longitudinally from one end of the shoe to the other, with an integral heel. The wedge 70 has a pin 38, reliefs 34 and a tab 30 which have a structure similar to the devices described above with the same reference signs and which are similarly coupled to complementary elements, which are integral or associated with a bottom of the shoe, not shown. As previously described, the latter is in particular provided with elastic means for attaching the wedge 70, which may be released by means of a pushbutton arranged in a through-hole made through the bottom of the shoe, similarly to what has been described with reference to the heel 16 (see also Figure 4). Naturally, without prejudice to the principle of the invention, the structural details and the embodiments may vary widely with respect to those which have been described above, purely by way of example, without thereby departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. In particular, pressing the control pushbutton with which the elastic means are provided changes the position of said pushbutton with respect to the elastic means in their entirety, as in the case of the U-shaped wire 54, or with respect to part thereof, as in the case of the vertical arm 22 of the body 20. According to the present invention, the system made up of the pushbutton and the elastic means is therefore fundamentally different from, and absolutely nothing like, an upper face of a cylinder having a circumferential projection on the lateral surface thereof.
