Abstract

Footwear, having the characteristic of being foldable and being constituted by a sole and the corresponding cut, is characterized in that the corresponding sole of the footwear is constituted by two parts or pieces defined by a transverse and intermediate line of cut, which establishes a kind of hinge or hinge that allows the folding of both parts or pieces of the sole on the cut itself.

Description

Footwear.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a shoe, and more specifically to a folding shoe that allows to be stored with a minimum volumetric occupation and be used at any time and place.

The object of the invention is to achieve a footwear that in case of emergency or certain circumstances, can be considered as footwear replacement conventional.

The footwear of the invention is preferred and fundamentally focused on the female sector to be able to be used at certain times to replace footwear heel, wet shoes, etc.

Background of the invention

Generally female footwear is usually uncomfortable in prolonged periods of use, since they are usually footwear narrow, with heels, and obviously that is a problem so much on trips as in places where you could do without them as is the case with offices, in hotel rooms, etc.

To solve this problem, in the Model Spanish utility U 200901133, describes a folding shoe that fundamentally characterized because the sole is constituted by a single piece body, flexible and soft in nature to allow its folding, performing this operation through the provision overlay of the foot of the left foot with the footwear right, and then introduce one of them inside the other, due to the flexibility not only of the sole, but of the cut that materializes in a body also very flexible and with a perimeter edging for folding allows the introduction of one shoe on the other, and then using a cord make the tied and keep both enveloping and folded shoes as body only.

The inconvenience of this shoe folding is that for folding it requires to have both shoes, the of the left foot and the right foot, attached by its soles and then by hand carry out the envelope by introduction from one to the other, finally hosting all the set, previous tied of the same, in a cover or casing.

In addition, to allow the folding of the footwear is necessary that the sole is highly flexible, which goes to the detriment of a shoe in which the sole must be at least semi-rigid or without great flexibility, since otherwise It would look like a sock and would not hold the foot at all.

Description of the invention

The recommended footwear has been conceived to solve the problem described above, so that being flexible presents the particularity that the sole is consisting of two parts or pieces defined by a line cross section, configuring it as a hinge or hinge that allows a folding of one half of the footwear with respect to the other half, and thus be perfectly folded, but with the advantage that the two half parts that make up the sole can be rigid or semi-rigid, since folding takes out through the intermediate line as a hinge or hinge which delimits both parts of the sole of the footwear, which allows a optimal use of footwear because the sole can be worn or materialize rigidly or semi-rigid, which is always a lot more effective than wearing shoes where the sole is highly flexible as in the Utility Model mentioned in the section of "Background of the invention".

The footwear of the invention will present logically a flexible cut, since it is going to be a comfortable footwear, easily transportable and even if it is deformed will recover its original position or situation, anticipating it that the cut in its outline presents sections or parts thereof with a gather for adjustment of said cut to the user's foot.

This shoe is suitable for women, since It is easy to carry in the bag when folded and allow any time and situation replace the suffered shoes of heel, good because the latter are worn for a long time, either because you travel by vehicle, plane or similar, or because you are in a place where it is possible to change footwear, or even in interior spaces where it is forbidden to enter with heels and without However, it is possible to wear light flat shoes, so you can be considered as a replacement footwear in cases of emergency or in certain places and moments, and may also constitute a Ideal element for advertising and merchandising.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that then it will be done and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization thereof, is accompanied as an integral part of that description, a set of drawings in where illustrative and not limiting, it has been represented the next:

Figure 1.- Shows a representation corresponding to a perspective view, through the sole, of the footwear object of the invention, seeing the transverse line e intermediate that separates or divides the two parts of said sole.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view top of the footwear of the invention.

Figure 3.- Shows the footwear of the figures previous folded.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the referred figures, the footwear (1) of the invention includes a cut (2) and a sole (3), being the cut (2) of flexible, light and comfortable material, whose contour may have a gathered section (4), to adapt to the User foot.

The novelty of the invention is that the sole (3) has a cross-sectional and intermediate cut line (5) which defines two independent parts (3 'and 3' '), both forming the sole itself, so that line of cut transverse (5) constitutes a hinge or hinge that allows the folding of both parts or halves (3 'and 3' ') of the sole (3) on the cut itself (2), as shown in figure 3, being reduced thus the volumetry of the footwear, but without being diminished the effectiveness and use of it, since the sole is formed (3) by two parts (3 'and 3' '), these can be rigid or semi-rigid and then in the use of footwear the user will check a greater support of the foot, compared to footwear in which the sole is totally flexible because it is constituted in a single piece.

Finally say that both the commented sole (3) as the cut (2) can be constituted by any type of appropriate material and be the design also any, since what fundamental is that the sole (3) is formed by two parts or pieces (3 'and 3' ') defined by the transverse line of cut (5), which it allows both the folding of those parts or pieces (3 'and 3' ') on themselves against the cut (2), such as the deployment and use of footwear How is normal.

Claims (2)

1. Footwear, which presenting the characteristic of being foldable and being constituted by a sole and the corresponding cut, is characterized in that the corresponding sole of the footwear is constituted by two parts or pieces defined by a transversal and intermediate cut line, which establishes a kind of hinge or hinge that allows the folding of both parts or pieces of the sole on the cut itself. 2. Footwear according to claim 1, characterized in that the two parts or pieces that constitute the sole are capable of being constituted in a rigid or semi-rigid material.
