Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improved footwear.
  • the present invention relates to footwear with a compartment for a transmitting device.
  • JP2006013544 gives an example of an active RFID tag which consists of a battery, transmitting antenna and a small electronic circuit.
  • the tag emits a continuous signal with a unique code to identify the user.
  • this transmitted code can improve the safety of workers in various ways, such as stopping a piece of machinery if a worker approaches, limiting access to forbidden areas, or ensuring that always two or more workers are present if a particular job cannot be conducted safely by only one person.
  • the RFID tags need to be associated with a single user and to be inserted in an article of clothing which does not require regular washing as the tags can be easily damaged by water.
  • EP1896970B1 discloses a shoe that contains an active RFID tag in conjunction with other sensors.
  • the active RFID is used to warn the user of approaching traffic (and vice versa).
  • WO2019/202006 discloses a safety boot with an active RFID tag to provide benefits in the workpiece as already outlined above.
  • a further problem is that most active RFID tags have a single use battery. Such a solution is preferable than the use of a rechargeable battery because the workers may forget the recharging operation, especially if it is not critical to complete the job in hand.
  • Tags with single use batteries can last three years with normal use. Given that the average life of safety footwear is 12-18 months, such a duration would be optimal. However, it is to be considered that the tag is inserted when the shoe is manufactured and that the shoe may remain in various warehouses (distributor/wholesaler/retailer) before arriving to the final user. This arrival may occur 1-2 years after the insertion of the tag into the shoe and thus the risk exists that the battery expires without having the possibility to change it.
  • the main object of the present invention is therefore to provide footwear with a compartment for a transmitting device, configured to overcome or at least reduce the above mentioned drawbacks with reference to the known footwear.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide footwear with a compartment for a transmitting device, configured for allowing the use of different transmitting devices manufactured by different manufacturers.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide footwear with a compartment for a transmitting device, configured for allowing the insertion of the transmitting device when the shoe is delivered to the user.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide footwear with a compartment for a transmitting device, configured to avoid that the transmitting device can be transferred, once it is installed, in a different shoe without permanently damaging the shoe to remove it.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide footwear with a compartment for a transmitting device which permits easy insertion of the transmitting device into the compartment.
  • footwear is understood as being any type of footwear, be it of the low or high type or designed for sporting, working or walking use.
  • front will be used to indicate the part of the footwear, or of its individual components, which is relatively closer to the toe zone of the foot, while “rear” will be used to indicate the part of the footwear, or of its individual components, which is relatively closer to the heel.
  • top will be used to refer to the part of the footwear, or of its individual components, which is relatively distant from the ground, while “bottom” will be used to indicate the part of the footwear, or of its individual components, which is relatively closer to the ground.
  • the footwear 10 comprises an upper 12 and an outsole 14 fastened to the upper 12.
  • the upper 12 can be made from different types of material, such as leather, fabric or textile.
  • the upper 12 may also comprise knitted areas.
  • the outsole 14 in turn is preferably made with polymeric material, like for example styrene-butadiene-styrene rubber (SBS rubber) or styrene-butadiene-rubber (SBR rubber) or with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).
  • polymeric material like for example styrene-butadiene-styrene rubber (SBS rubber) or styrene-butadiene-rubber (SBR rubber) or with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).
  • SBS rubber styrene-butadiene-styrene rubber
  • SBR rubber styrene-butadiene-rubber
  • TPU thermoplastic polyurethane
  • the outsole 14 can be formed by a single layer as shown in the enclosed figures.
  • the outsole 14 can comprise a tread and a midsole which in turn can be formed by a plurality of layers.
  • the outsole 14 can be manually applied to the upper 12 (by gluing or stitching) or it can be joined thereto by means of direct injection.
  • the footwear 10 can be safety footwear.
  • the footwear comprises a reinforced toe cap and/or an anti-puncture layer, the latter being positioned between the bottom portion of the upper and the top portion of the outsole.
  • the footwear comprises at least one compartment 20 designed to house a transmitting device 30.
  • the transmitting device 30 is a wireless communication device.
  • the wireless communication device 30 can be an active or passive RFID tag.
  • tags are suitable for transmitting data, like a code or a part number to a central tracking database.
  • the wireless communication device 30 can be part of an IOT (Internet of things) network.
  • the wireless communication device can be a beacon device.
  • the beacon device is based on a Bluetooth protocol, like for example the Bluetooth 4.0 protocol which assures a low consumption of energy.
  • the transmitting device 30 can include a GPS module for providing at an output terminal geographic information corresponding to the position of the user of footwear. Such information, as above mentioned, can be used to improve the safety of the user in working places.
  • the compartment 20 for housing the transmitting device 30 can be arranged at the upper 12.
  • the compartment 20 is arranged in the tongue 16 of the upper 12. More preferably, the compartment 20 consists of a pocket 17 provided into the top portion of the tongue 16.
  • the compartment can be arranged in the toe or heel portion of the upper 12.
  • the compartment 20 can be arranged at the outsole 14 (see figures 3 and 4 ).
  • the compartment 20 is arranged in the heel portion of the outsole 14.
  • the compartment 20 can be arranged in a side area of the heel portion of the outsole 14 so as to be accessible from outside.
  • the compartment can be arranged in a central area of the heel portion so as to be accessible only from the interior of the footwear.
  • a compartment is identified by the reference 20C.
  • the footwear 10 can be provided with a first compartment 20A arranged in the upper 12 and a second compartment 20B arranged in the outsole 14 (see figure 4 ). Both compartments 20A, 20B are suitable for housing a transmitting device 30. Alternatively, the transmitting device 30 can be positioned only in the first compartment 20A or in the second compartment 20B according to the use of the footwear.
  • the footwear can comprise a plurality of compartments 20.
  • the transmitting device 30 is large or heavy, it will be put inside a compartment 20 arranged in the outsole, so as to avoid discomfort to the user.
  • the footwear 10 further comprises one-use closing means 40 for sealing the compartment 20.
  • one-use closing means is to be intended closing means which, once closed, make it impossible to access again to compartment 20 without permanently damaging the footwear 10.
  • the one-use closing means 40 permit, once the transmitting device 30 has been positioned inside the compartment 20, to seal the latter so as to prevent that the transmitting device 30 is removed from the footwear 10.
  • the removal of the transmitting device 30 will inevitably cause damage to the footwear 10, such as a rip in the tongue 16 or a breaking in the outsole 14.
  • the footwear 10 can be sold with the compartment 20 not sealed by the closing means 40.
  • the compartment 20 can be advantageously sealed, after having inserted therein the transmitting device 30, just before passing the footwear 10 onto the end user.
  • the one-use closing means 40 can comprise at least one single use press fastener 41.
  • the single use press fastener 41 is arranged at an opening 32 of the compartment 20to secure the opposite edges of the opening 32.
  • the fastener 41 can comprise a reinforcement ring 48 fastened to the lower portion of the tongue 16, for example by stitching or ultrasonic moulding, and designed to be engaged by the barbed conical element 50, fastened to the opposite portion of the tongue 16, of the fastener 41.
  • the footwear comprises a plurality of fasteners 41 arranged along the opening of the compartment 20.
  • the fasteners 41 can be spaced apart to each other so as to secure the opposite edges of the opening 32 in more than one point.
  • the fasteners 41 can also be used to seal compartments 20 arranged in different portions of the upper 12.
  • the one-use closing means 40 consist of a single use zip fastener 42 arranged at the opening 32 of the compartment 20.
  • the single use zip fastener 42 once closed, is no longer reusable.
  • Such a single use zip fastener 42 can consist in a common zip having a first row of teeth applied on a first edge of the opening 32 and a second row of teeth applied on a second edge of the opening 32, the zip cursor 52 being designed to be blocked, once it has reached its end stop, by means of a corresponding press fastener.
  • the press fastener 41 previously disclosed can be used.
  • the single use zip fastener 42 can be the zip fastener disclosed in US2010/0257822 .
  • the location of the compartment 20 at the upper 12, in particular at the tongue portion 16, is advantageous for the transmission of the signal emitted by the transmitting device 30.
  • the RFID devices and the beacon devices transmit radio waves which are often blocked by water, a lot of which is present inside the human body.
  • the transmitting device 30 By providing the transmitting device 30 at the tongue portion 16 of the upper 12, only the transmission directed behind the leg of the user would be affected. All other transmission directions are free of obstacles and thus the transmission of the signal emitted by the transmitting device 30 is highly reliable.
  • the compartment 20 can be arranged at the outsole 14 (see figures 3 and 4 ).
  • the one-use closing means 40 may consist of a cover 44 having dimensions apt to seal the compartment 20, the cover 44 being secured to the outsole 14 by means of one way screw fasteners or rivets 46 (see figures 3 and 4 ). Such a solution is particularly advantageous when the compartment 20 is arranged at the side area of the heel portion of the outsole 14.
  • the cover 44 can be made with polymeric material, like for example polyurethane, while the rivets 46 may be like the fasteners 41 previously disclosed with reference to the compartment arranged at the tongue portion 16.
  • the cover 44 can be directly moulded as part of the outsole 14.
  • one edge of the cover 44 is integral with the outsole 14, while the opposite end can be blocked by means of a rivet 46, after having inserted the transmitting device 30 inside the compartment, so as to seal the latter.
  • the compartment 20 can also be positioned in proximity of the toe area of the footwear 10.
  • the one-use closing means 40 may comprise a covering layer 47 having dimensions apt to seal the compartment 20 C and designed to be fixed by means of adhesive on top of the compartment 20C.
  • the compartment 20C is arranged in the central area of the heel portion.
  • the underside of the covering layer 47 is provided with a piece of high strength double sided tape 49. Once the backing of the tape 49 is removed the covering layer 47 can be fastened to the compartment 20C so as to seal it.
  • the weight of the user standing on top of the covering layer 47 would press the tape 49 so as to prevent future removal of the transmitting device 30 housed inside the compartment 20C.
  • the covering layer 47 can be part of an insole positioned inside the footwear 10 over the outsole 14.
  • the compartment 20 has dimensions greater than the dimensions of the transmitting device 30 so as to guarantee that different devices manufactured by different manufacturers can all be housed inside the compartment 20. In this way the number of models of footwear to be produced is reduced.
  • a filler 60 can be positioned in the voids between the compartment 20 and the transmitting device 30 in order to block the latter inside its compartment.
  • Such a filler 60 can be poured in the compartment 20.
  • the filler 60 is a polyurethane based glue compound or an epoxy resin so as to permanently bond the transmitting device 30 inside the compartment 20.
  • one-use closing means 40 permits to insert the transmitting device 30 when the footwear is delivered to the user, so as to be sure that the battery does not expire during the use of the footwear.
  • the one-use closing means assure that, once the transmitting device is inserted inside the footwear, the transmitting device cannot be removed without damaging the footwear.
  • the transmitting device can be easily inserted inside the compartment.
