Abstract

The invention relates to an accessory making it possible to preserve the counters (stiffeners) of shoes from wear by rubbing, when driving a motor vehicle. It is injection-moulded in flexible plastic on a light framework consisting of two small spring blades. Pierced with small anti-condensation holes, its inner face is covered with a protective soft fabric, with special adhesive coating at both ends. The lower third of its outer face includes, in relief, non-slip striations. The accessory according to the invention is intended principally for drivers of motor vehicles.

Description

La présente invention concerne un accessoire permettant de préserver de l'usure prématurée les contreforts des chaussures lors de la conduite automobile. The present invention relates to an accessory making it possible to preserve the buttresses of the shoes from premature wear when driving a car.

La position des jambes d'un automobiliste à son volant, pendant la conduite, crée un contact obligatoire entre les contreforts de ses chaussures et le tapis de plancher de son véhicule, occasionnant un frottement inévitable qui lui-meme produit une usure prématurée de la matière des chaussures aux points de contact de celles-ci avec le tapis. The position of the legs of a motorist at the wheel, while driving, creates a compulsory contact between the buttresses of his shoes and the floor mat of his vehicle, causing an inevitable friction which itself produces premature wear of the material. shoes at their contact points with the carpet.

L'accessoire selon ltinventîon permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. The accessory according to ltinventîon overcomes this drawback.

I1 se présente en effet comme un deuxième contrefort s'embottant à celui de la chaussure et épousant sa forme pour encaisser à sa place les frottement par contact inévitables, sans en subir aussi vite l'usure qui en découle, grâce à la bonne tenue du matériau dont est fait l'accessoire. I1 is in fact presented as a second buttress which mounts to that of the shoe and follows its shape in order to collect in its place the inevitable contact friction, without undergoing as quickly the wear which results therefrom, thanks to the good behavior of the material from which the accessory is made.

La réalisation de cet accessoire sera faite en matière plastique souple de haute résistance aux frottements, selon un procédé'éprouvé de moulage par injection sur une armature simple et légère incluant deux petites lames de ressort lui conférant suffisamment d'élasticité et de force de pression pour faciliter son embottement, sa tenue en place et son retrait du contrefort de la chaussure, d'un geste simple et rapide. The realization of this accessory will be made of flexible plastic material of high resistance to friction, according to a proven process of injection molding on a simple and light frame including two small spring blades giving it sufficient elasticity and pressure force for make it easier to put it on, hold it in place and remove it from the boot, with a simple and quick gesture.

L'accessoire selon l'invention sera pourvu sur toute sa face interne d'un revetement de tissu doux, genre suédina ou autre, le tout judicieusement traversé en plusieurs points de sa surface de petits trous de lmm. The accessory according to the invention will be provided on all of its internal face with a covering of soft fabric, of the Swedish or other kind, all judiciously crossed at several points on its surface with small holes of 1 mm.

de diamètre environ, pour éviter l'effet de condensation et protéger la matière de la chaussure. En outre, l'accessoire, sur environ un tiers en sa partie inférieure de la face externe comportera en relief des stries anti-dérapantes.diameter, to avoid the effect of condensation and protect the material of the shoe. In addition, the accessory, on about a third in its lower part of the external face, will feature non-slip ridges in relief.

Selon une variante conçue plus spécialement pour les chaussures féminines à contreforts très étroits, l'accessoire pourra être moulé plus souple et sans lames de ressort, mais comportant aux deux extrémités de sa face interne un enduit adhésif spécial qui colle à la chaussure et se décolle sans arracher la matière de la chaussure. According to a variant designed more specifically for female shoes with very narrow buttresses, the accessory can be molded more flexible and without spring blades, but comprising at the two ends of its internal face a special adhesive coating which sticks to the shoe and peels off without tearing off the material of the shoe.

L'accessoire selon l'invention est destiné aux automobilistes, hommes et femmes, qui auront pris conscience et voudront éviter cet aspect disgracieux et négligé que présente toute chaussure ayant été portée fréquemment pour la conduite automobile. The accessory according to the invention is intended for motorists, men and women, who will have become aware and will want to avoid this unsightly and neglected aspect that presents any shoe having been worn frequently for driving.
