Abstract

Footwear, characterized by being constituted from a laminar body and single piece, based on leather or other similar material, in which a core or central sector (1) is defined formally and dimensionally coinciding with the outline of the foot of the user, from which emerge a series of perimeter sectors (2-2 '', 3-3 '', 4), of variable configuration depending on the design of the footwear, and in a number also variable, perimeter sectors likely to adopt a coplanar position with the central core (1) under conditions of storage and transport of the footwear, to allow it to be carried out in boxes of extraordinarily reduced height, it being foreseen that said perimetral sectors are provided with rapid intercoupling means, preferably snaps (5). ), for shoe assembly.

Description

Footwear.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a shoe, which has been conceived and structured in order to be able to adopt in inoperative situation a substantially flat configuration, which it approaches the laminar configuration, so that it can be stored in boxes of very reduced height, with the consequent economic savings that this implies, both from the point of view of storage and transport of them.

It is also the object of the invention to achieve a footwear that passes from said laminar configuration and inoperative to the classic three-dimensional configuration in an extremely maneuver quick and easy

Background of the invention

Conventionally the shoes are constituted through the functional combination of a floor and a cut, being able to participate in the latter one or more pieces depending on the type of footwear and presenting all of them as common denominator the fact that floor and cut are physically independent of each other, and set when making footwear by sewing, by adhesive or by any other means.

This brings with it that at the end of the process of manufacturing these shoes have a three-dimensional configuration practically coincident with the one they have to have in conditions of use, that is when the user's foot is housed inside thereof.

This means for manufacturers, distributors and merchants an important occupation of space, both from the point of view of storage as of transport, since such shoes must be housed and protected within boxes of considerable height, which consequently take up a lot of space.

An attempt to reduce the height of the boxes would be a deformation of the footwear housed in the inside of them, which is obviously unacceptable.

Description of the invention

The footwear that the invention proposes has been conceived and structured, as previously stated, in order to drastically reduce its volumetric occupation in the cited storage and transport situations.

For this and more specifically said footwear It materializes in a single piece, laminar, skin-based body natural or synthetic, or other similar and appropriate product, body laminar in which a formal central core is defined and dimensionally coincident with the footwear floor, core of whose periphery arise, with the aforementioned one-piece character, sectors of said laminar body, which in principle are coplanar with the sector or central nucleus, but that will lead to the cutting of footwear at the time of using it, and that count with mutual fixing means based on quick couplings, such as for example pressure brackets.

Obviously the configuration of these sectors perimeter will be variable depending on the design planned for footwear in particular, keeping the cited constant of your one-piece character with the central core, and the existence of brooches or similar connecting elements between them to assemble the footwear.

Finally to the core or central sector and by the which must be its lower face in conditions of use of footwear, constituent parts of the plant and heel are fixed, by adhesive, seam, or any other appropriate means, to provide the shoes of a floor of suitable benefits, being these pieces complement them also of reduced thickness and not affecting any case of important form in an increase of the thickness general body general footwear.

It is achieved in this way, according to the purpose of the invention, that the entire storage process and footwear distribution can be carried out with it extended, that is to say with a substantially flat arrangement, housed in boxes that at the expense of a slight oversize in plant, its height is drastically reduced, with substantial savings in the volumetric occupation of the same in front of the boxes conventional.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as an integral part of said description, a set of drawings where with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows, according to a view in floor, a shoe made according to the purpose of the present invention, in the situation provided for storage and transportation of it.

Figure 2.- Shows the same set of the previous figure, now on the lower floor.

Figures 3 and 4.- Show representations similar to those in figures 1 and 2, but with armed footwear, that is to say in use situation.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can observe how the footwear that is recommended is constituted to from a laminar and single-piece body that, as previously said, it will be leather or other similar material, in which it defines a sector or central nucleus (1) that corresponds formally and dimensionally with the perimeter of the foot, or with what has to be the sole of footwear, emerging perimeter from that sector or central core (1) a plurality of sectors (2-2 ', 3-3 ', 4), whose number and configuration will be variable depending on the design planned for the footwear as a whole, and which in any case are susceptible, as the Figures 1 and 2, of being coplanar with the central core (1) in storage and transport situation for footwear, and that have to constitute, at the time of the use of said footwear and such as shown in figures 3 and 4, the shoe cut.

For this one-piece body assembly (1,2-2 ', 3-3', 4) is planned that the perimeter sectors (2-2 ', 3-3 ', 4) incorporate means of mutual fixation, such as for example snaps (5), strategically arranged on these sectors, which after said mutual fixation give rise to a shoe cut with a certain design, such as the shown in the cited figures 3 and 4.

As a complement to the structure described on core or central sector (1) Inca lora in which it must be your face lower, that is to say in correspondence with the floor of the footwear and of according to the representation of figure 2, a pair of pieces you would complement (6) and (7), for example outsole, which in the example Practical embodiment of the figures are attached to the central core (1) through perimeter seam lines (8), but which can be fixed by adhesive or by any other means, constituting these complementary pieces (6-7) the floor proper footwear, also with a very small thickness so as not to negatively influence the overall volumetry of the footwear and to give the latter benefits similar to of a conventional footwear in terms of support of it on the ground.

As follows from the above and it follows from the observation of figures 1 and 2, the footwear that the proposed invention is likely to be introduced in a box which, slightly oversized on the floor, may present a height of the order of only one centimeter, so that the storage and transport capacity of this type of footwear looks sharply enhanced with respect to the boxes conventional shoes or shoes conventional.

Claims (2)

1. Footwear, characterized by being constituted from a laminar and single-piece body, based on leather or other similar material, in which a core or central sector (1) is defined formally and dimensionally coinciding with the contour of the user's foot , from which emerge a series of perimeter sectors (2-2 ', 3-3', 4), of variable configuration depending on the design of the footwear, and also in varying numbers, perimeter sectors capable of adopting a coplanar position with the core central (1) in conditions of storage and transport of footwear, to allow it to be carried out in boxes of extraordinarily reduced height, said perimeter sectors being provided with means of rapid intercourse, preferably snap pins (5), for armed footwear. 2. Footwear according to claim 1, characterized in that said laminar and single-piece body incorporates, in which the lower face of its central core (1) must be, at least one complementary piece (7-8), based on the sole or other similar material, constituting the floor itself, preferably two complementary pieces, one located at the level of the floor and another at the level of the heel.
