Description

ADJUSTMENT SHOES FRAMEFIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an adjustment shoes frame, and moreparticularly, to an adjustment shoes frame With a top part pivotably connected to abottom part, the angular distance between the two parts can be set.

BACKGROUND OF THE IN VENTION A conventional Way to store shoes in stores generally includes an I-shapedframe With only one shoe supported on the frame and the other one is stored in the backof the store. When the customers need to try these shoes, the clerk has to find thecorrect one to match the one on the I-shaped frame and this Wastes a lot of time forWaiting. When the shoes are stored in homes, the shoes are stored in the boxes whichare stacked in the cabinet. It takes time to remove the boxes and get the desired box topick the shoes out. If the shoes are stored on a long frame, it needs a significant space toinstall the large frame. The conventional Ways for storage of shoes do not meet therequirements of people in the urban area.

The present invention intends to provide a shoes frame Which occupieslimited space and can be adjusted for the shoes of different sizes.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an adjustment shoes frame and comprises a top part having a ﬁrst surface and a first pivotal portion. A stop plate extends from the first surface. The ﬁrst pivotal portion has a hole defined therethrough. A bottom part has a second surface and a second pivotal portion Which has a protrusion for beingpivotably engaged with the hole of the first pivotal portion. An adjustment device isconnected between the top and bottom parts.

The present invention will become more obvious from the followingdescription When taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, forpurposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the presentinvention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to Fig. 1, the adjustment shoes frame of the present inventioncomprises a top part 1 having a first surface 11 and a first pivotal portion 13, and a stopplate 12 extends perpendicularly from an underside of the first surface 11 so that When ashoe is put on the first surface 11, the stop plate 12 .stops the shoe from slipping off theﬁrst surface 11 When the first part 1 is orientated at an angle. The first pivotal portion13 has a hole 131 defined therethrough Which is pivotably connected With a second part2. The top part 1 includes a recess 14 defined in a side thereof and a stud 141 extendsfrom the recess 14 so as to be connected With an adjustment rod 3 to set the position ofthe first part 1.

The bottom part 2 has a second surface 21 for a shoe to be put thereon and asecond pivotal portion 22 extends perpendicularly ﬁom an underside of the secondsurface 21. The second pivotal portion 22 has a protrusion 221 Which is pivotablyengaged With the hole 131 of the first pivotal portion 13. The side of the second surface21 of the second part 2 is in alignment With the second pivotal portion 22, and a lug 23extends from the second surface 21. The lug 23 has an aperture 231 and the adjustmentrod 3 is connected to the aperture 231.

An adjustment device includes the adjustment rod 3 Which is a curved rod and is connected between the top and bottom parts 1, 2. The adjustment rod 3 includes a positioning portion 31 which includes a guide groove 311 and multiple notches 312.The stud 141 on the first part 1 is movable in the guide groove 311 and engaged withone of the notches 312 to set the desired angular distance between the top and bottomparts 1, 2. A pivot 32 extends from the adjustment rod 3 and is pivotably engaged withthe aperture 231 of the lug 23 of the second part 2. The pivot 32 includes an enlargedhead 321 so that when the pivot 32 is engaged with the aperture 231, the pivot 32 is notseparated from the lug 23 of the second part 2.

The ﬁrst and second surfaces 11, 21 are located on different planes so that thetwo shoes can be put on the first and second surfaces 11, 21 respectively. This saves thespace in horizontal direction. The top part 1 is pivotable relative to the second part 2,and the adjustment rod 3 sets the angular distance between the top and bottom parts 1, 2so that the different types of shoes can be put on the top and bottom parts 1, 2. The stud141 is slidable with in the guide groove 311 of the adjustment rod 3 and engaged withone of the notches 312 so that the user can easily adjust the relative positions of the topand bottom parts 1, 2.

The hole 131 of the top part 1 and the protrusion 221 of the bottom part 2 canbe switched to each other, which means that the ﬁrst pivotal portion 13 of the top part 1is a protrusion and the second pivotal portion 22 of the bottom part 2 is a hole. Similarly,the pivot 32 of the adjustment rod 3 and the lug 23 of the bottom part 2 can also be switched to each other.

The second embodiment in Fig. 2 is made based on the first embodiment. Themain change is that multiple positioning holes 132 are located around the hole 131, andmultiple bosses 222 are located around the protrusion 221. The protrusion 221 ispivotably engaged With the hole 131 and the bosses 222 are engaged With thepositioning holes 132. Again, the positioning holes 132 and the bosses 222 can besWitched to each other.

The third embodiment in Fig. 3 is made based on the ﬁrst and secondembodiments. The main change is that the second pivotal portion 22 having a hole 223and a circular ﬂange 2231 extends from a periphery of the hole 223. The circular ﬂange2231 has threads 2232 deﬁned in an outer periphery thereto. An inner cap 224 has a tubular portion With a passage 2241 deﬁned therethrough and ridges 2242 are formed on an outer periphery of the tubular portion. The inner cap 224 is threadedly connected to the threads 2232 of the circular ﬂange 2231. An outer cap 225 has a recessed portion2251 and multiple reception grooves 2252 are deﬁned. in an inner periphery thereof.The tubular portion of the inner cap 224 is engaged With the recessed portion 2251 andthe ridges 2242 are engaged With the reception grooves 2252. A spring 226 is locatedbetween the passage 2241 and the recessed portion 2251. The outer cap 225 maintainsthe top part 1 When the first and second pivotal portions 13, 22 are engaged With eachother. When adjusting, the user pushes the outer cap 225 on the bottom part 2 to pivotthe top part 1 to a desired position and the outer cap 225 is released to set the relative positions of the top and bottom parts 1, 2.

The fourth embodiment in Fig. 4 is made based on the first, second and thirdembodiments. The main change is that the second pivotal portion 22 has a recess 223and multiple engaging grooves 2233 are deﬁned in an inner periphery of the recess 223.The inner cap 224 has multiple engaging ribs 2243 defined in an outer periphery thereofand the engaging ribs 2243 are engaged with the engaging grooves 2233. The outer cap225 has a recessed portion 2251 and multiple reception grooves 2252 are defined in aninner periphery thereof.

The ridges 2242 of the inner cap 224 and the reception grooves 2252 of theouter cap 225 as shown in Figs. 3 and 4 can be switched to each other. This means thatthe inner cap 224 can have reception grooves and the outer cap 225 has engaging ribswhich are engaged with the reception grooves. The inner periphery of the recess 223 ofthe bottom part 2 in Fig. 4 and the outer periphery of the inner cap 224 can switch toeach other so as to be engaged with each other.

The sixth to eighth embodiments are shown in Figs. 5 to 7, wherein the mainchange is that the stud 141 and the adjustment rod 3 are removed, and the top part isstrong enough to support the weight of the shoe, then the stud 141 and the adjustmentrod 3 are not necessary.

While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with thepresent invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
