DESCRIPTION

Footwear comprising a device with an information or object storage tube

The present invention concerns a shoe with an information or object storage device and a method of manufacturing such a shoe.

Technical field

According to a first aspect, the present invention concerns a shoe that includes an information or object storage device. According to a second aspect, the invention proposes a shoe suitable for receiving a storage device. According to a third aspect, the invention proposes a box comprising an information or object storage device with the possibility of being inserted into a shoe. According to a fourth aspect, the invention proposes a method of manufacturing a shoe.

By footwear, we understand all styles of footwear (children, men, women), espadrilles, sandals, flip flops, boots.

Indication of prior art

With regard to the prior state of the art, there are footwear with accommodation for a storage module accessible from the outside.

Publication WO-A1-9311681 discloses a sports shoe comprising a sole and a receptacle incorporated in the sole intended to receive and retain a plug-in module on a removable slide, the plug-in module including a battery and electrical circuit elements.

Publication US-A1-2007260421 discloses another example of footwear in which a housing element for an electronic module is provided and is accessible from outside the structure of the footwear, and which comprises a box with a removable covering element.

The hole (2) is preferably essentially parallel to the bottom side of the sole, and the conduit (3) is also preferably installed essentially parallel to the bottom side of the sole, so that the box (3 and 4) points rearward. in an essentially horizontal direction when the shoe is flat.

The footwear (0) can be a low-heeled, high-heeled, high-heeled footwear, with a running sole.

Figures 7 to 11 illustrate a cover (4) provided to close the opening (153), in a completely watertight manner, in order to prevent water or dirt from entering the conduit (3).

The cover (4) has a first face, directed backwards when the cover (4) is in its position on the opening (153), and a second face, opposite the first face and which, therefore, faces the first face of the box when the lid (4) closes the hole into which the box is inserted. The first face and the second face of the cover (4) they are separated by a length of the lid.

Technical description of the duct and its fixation

As can be seen in Figure 7, the conduit (3) further comprises a cover (4) that closes the mouth (153) of the conduit to determine a watertight box. The cover (4) is set to seal the opening. The duct (3) can be of different shapes, cylindrical (123), oval (223), rectangular (323), octagonal (423) and of different sizes.

As shown in figure 8, if the duct (3) is elongated and cylindrical in shape (123), the hole (2) in the sole (1) will also be of a corresponding cylindrical shape (122), as well as the cover (124) and the tube (125). According to an embodiment of the invention, not illustrated, the duct (3) and the tube are conical in shape, and the hole (2) in the sole (1) will also be of a corresponding conical shape (122).

As shown in figure 9, if the duct (3) is elongated and has an oval section (223), the hole (2) in the sole (1) will also have a corresponding oval section (222), as well as the cover (224) and tube (225).

As shown in figure 10, if the duct (3) is elongated and has a rectangular section (323), the hole (2) in the sole (1) will also have a corresponding rectangular section (322), as well as the cover (324). and tube (325).

As shown in figure 11, if the duct (3) is elongated and has an octagonal section (423), the hole (2) in the sole (1) will also have a corresponding octagonal section (422), as well as the cover (424) and tube (425).

The duct (3), as well as the cover (4), can be made of all kinds of waterproof material (metal, aluminum, stainless steel, all kinds of plastic, carbon, rubber ...).

The conduit (3) is preferably smooth on the inside face (143), in order to allow the tube that incorporates the objects to be inserted and removed easily.

The conduit (3) is definitively fixed inside the sole (1) of the footwear by means of anchoring means. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in figure 12, the external face of the duct includes asperities (233) to determine a means of anchoring the duct (3) inside the hole (112, 212) of the sole ( 1) and allow the conduit (3) to be fixed to the sole (1) in order to secure them permanently. These crescent-shaped roughnesses (233) are open towards the mouth of the conduit (153) and solid towards the closed part (353) of the conduit. When the conduit (3) is inserted into the hole (2), it slides easily to its bottom.

The asperities (233) then block the duct (3) inside the hole (2) and prevent its removal from it, so that the duct (3) becomes permanently integral with the sole (2).

According to the embodiment illustrated in figure 12, the fastening of the duct (3) inside the hole (2) of the sole (1) can advantageously be further reinforced by glue.

The conduit (3) can be fixed, for example, to the sole (1), by another adhesive fixing means, cement, by welding or by other fusion techniques.

According to another preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figures 13 to 15, the external face of the conduit includes barbs (fins) (333) to determine a means of anchoring the conduit (3) within the hole (112, 212 ) of the sole (1) and allow the conduit (3) to be fixed to the sole (1) to secure them in a definitive way. These barbs (333) are adapted to prevent the conduit (3) from being withdrawn from the hole (2) after having been inserted into it.

As can be seen in Figure 14, the inner wall (102) of the hole (2) in the sole can be smooth, and only the outer part of the conduit (3) contains barbs (333).

As can be seen in figure 15, according to another embodiment, the inner wall (202) of the hole (2) contains the same barbs (202), which cooperate with barbs (333) on the external part of the duct (3 ) to anchor and fix the duct (3) to the sole (1) and to secure them permanently.

According to the embodiments illustrated in Figures 14-16, the hold within the hole (2) of the sole (1) can advantageously be further reinforced by glue.

According to another preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figure 16, the conduit (3) includes, at the end located close to the bottom (232) of the hole, a flexible system of several pointed-shaped elements (433), preferably four elements (433). During the introduction of the conduit into the hole (2), the pointed elements (433), which are flexible, can be folded towards the inside of the conduit (3), in order to facilitate its insertion into the hole (2). By then inserting a cylinder (not shown) into the conduit (3), at the shoe manufacturing, the different pointed elements (433) move away towards the outside and become seized in the sole (1) to remain locked in it and, thus, fix the conduit (3) to the sole (1) and secure them in definitive way.

According to the embodiment illustrated in Figure 16, the hold inside the hole (2) of the sole (1) can advantageously be further reinforced by glue.

The conduit anchoring means (3) of the illustrated embodiments can be combined with each other.

The grip inside the hole in the sole (1) is further reinforced by glue.

According to another preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in figure 17, the duct is smooth (133) and is fixed inside the hole (2) of the sole (1) by means of glue. The duct (3) and the sole (1) are permanently attached only by means of glue.

Description and fixing of the cover on the duct

Figures 18 to 27 illustrate the cover (4) hermetically closing the opening of the conduit (3) to allow a robust fixation between the cover (4) and the conduit (3) and to make the box watertight.

Preferably, the cover (4) comprises a first fixing part and the conduit (3) comprises a second fixing part, the first and second fixing parts being set to cooperate together. This makes it possible to obtain a robust and watertight fixing between the cover (4) and the duct (3).

In a preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in figure 18, the cover (4) comprises flexible toric flakes (114) on the external face adapted to cooperate with a conduit (3) whose interior conduit face (3) is smooth (143 ). The lid (4) comprises flexible toric flakes (114) on the external face. By inserting the lid (4) into the duct (3) up to the contact of the mouth (153) of the duct and the base (104) of the lid, the flakes (114) can be slightly folded and thus create a resistance that makes it difficult for a child to remove the lid (4), while ensuring the tightness of the box.

To remove the cover (4), it is enough for the person to pull the latter with force thanks to a grip (414) located on the base (104) of the cover.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figure 21, the cover (4) is made from a lever closure system (134) adapted to cooperate with a conduit (3) whose interior face of the conduit is smooth (143 ). This system (134) comprises a pin (1134) joined between a plate (2134), to the lower base (3134), and a lever (4134), in the bar head (5134). Between these two pieces a rubber O-ring (6134) and a blocking piece (7134) are positioned in contact with the mouth (153) of the conduit. When the closing system (134) is in contact with the mouth (153) of the conduit and, therefore, the body of the part (8134) is inserted into the conduit (3), pivoting the lever (4134) 90 degrees with respect to To the conduit (3), the plate (2134) approaches the locking piece (7134) and thus compresses the rubber O-ring (6134). The diameter of the same increases and, thus, begins to tightly block the lever closure system (134) inside the conduit (3).

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, illustrated in Figures 19, 20, 22, the cover (4) comprises a first thread passage on the external face (214) and the duct (3) comprises a second thread passage arranged in the internal face around the opening (243), so that it corresponds to the first thread pitch when the cover (4) closes the mouth (153) of the conduit.

The first thread passage (214) is screwed into the second thread passage (243) when the cap (4) is screwed onto the opening (243) and this thread allows to obtain a watertight fixation, easy for an adult to open, but relatively difficult for a child. Preferably, the cap (4) comprises means (164) for rotating the cap (4) relative to the sole (1). This makes threading and unscrewing more convenient. The means (164) for rotating the cap relative to the sole comprises a slot (164) provided for the insertion of a coin or a screwdriver.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, illustrated in Figure 23, the attachment comprises a bayonet closure system (144). The end of the conduit (3) contains grooves (443). The cover comprises two tabs (1144). When coupling the conduit (3) and the cover (4) with bayonet closure system (144), the two claws (1144) are in contact with the grooves (443). As the lid pivots, the two claws (1144) become locked in the grooves (443) to allow a robust fixation between the lid (4) and the conduit (3) and to make the box watertight.
