Pressing the heel button (4) lifts the hook and allows the heel of the shoe to be removed. The device is intended to be used in the manufacture of shoes.

Description

Description:

The present invention is a shoe with a removable heel, the heel of which can be removed without the need to remove the shoe from the foot, and using a single gesture, by pressing a button discreetly located at the back of the heel.

This device will be used in the production of women's shoes,

The market for shoes that can remove their heel is very recent and some systems already exist, but they do not allow to remove the heel by keeping the shoe on the foot, and in a single movement, via a button on the heel. This invention overcomes this problem.

The device consists of two parts, the shoe whose lower part is equipped at the heel with a slide, and the heel, equipped with a hook, which can be lifted by the button, sliding along the slide for go hang on to the shoe.

Shoe side:

The shoe is equipped at the back at the heel with a slide.

Heel side:

The removable heel is fitted with a hook, which can be lifted using the button on the back of the heel.

Pressing the button pushes the base of the hook and rotates it to lift it.

A spring located on the other side of the button allows the hook to be lowered again to the initial position when the button is no longer pressed.

Use :

When the heel is attached to the shoe, pressing the button therefore allows the grip to be lifted and the heel to slide along the slide in a single movement.

A new heel (of different size / shape / color) equipped with the system can then be slipped on the shoe.

When inserting the heel, the grip goes up along the slide and then clips automatically.

Details on the shape of the slide:

On the shoe, the part of the slide along which the hook goes up is first flat, then has a slope along which the hook will rise naturally when the heel is inserted.

Beyond the slope, there is a hole in which the hook closes.

Pressing the heel button raises the hook and removes the heel along the slide.

Around the slide system, the shape is trapezoidal, the heel closing around the shoe to prevent any translation / rotation other than in the axis of the slide.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

Figures 1 and 2 show the system in heel position assembled to the shoe.

Figures 3 and 4 show the heel and the rear of the shoe separately.

With reference to these drawings, the heel (1) is equipped with a hook (3), which can be lifted by the button (4).

Pressing the button pushes the base of the hook and rotates it around its axis (5) to lift it.

A spring (6) located on the other side of the button allows the hook to be positioned again in the initial position when the button is no longer pressed.

When the button is pressed and therefore the hook raised, the heel is then free and can be removed by sliding the heel along the slide (7). A single gesture is therefore enough, pull the heel by pressing the button.

The shoe (2) is equipped at the rear at the heel with a slide (7).

The heel can be slid under the shoe along this slide.

When inserting the heel, the grip goes up along the slide on the sloping part (9), then clips itself automatically.

The part of the slide along which the hook rises is first flat (8), then has a slope (9) along which the hook will rise naturally when the heel is inserted. Beyond the slope, there is a hole (10) in which the hook closes,

Pressing the heel button raises the hook and removes the heel along the slide.

Around the slide system, the shape is trapezoidal, on the side of the heel (11) and the shoe (12). The slipped heel therefore frames the slide, preventing any translation / rotation other than in the axis of the slide, movement itself blocked by the hook.

The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the manufacture of shoes with removable heels.
