The title of the article is: "Women's Shoes, Including Sandals, With Interchangeable Fashion Inserts"; Marcella Miriam Katz, US Application Serial No. 13/506,158, filed on March 30, 2012, entitled: "Women's Shoes With Lift- Off Top Showcase For Interchangeable Fashion Inserts, which is currently under review; and US Application Serial No. 13/506,831, filed on May 17, 2012 by Marcella Miriam Katz, entitled "Women's Shoes With Detachable" Pouch or Showcase For Interchangeable Fashion Inserts, the application is currently under review.

The present invention relates to fashion shoes, and in particular to sandals, which can be male People, women and children are dressed. More specifically, the present invention relates to various shoes, including sandals, which can change the decorative appearance so that the wearer of the shoes and sandals can selectively change the appearance of the shoes to support the current fashion trend or a personal taste statement. .

This section describes background matter related to the disclosed embodiments of the present invention. It is not intended or implied that the background art discussed in this section is legally prior art.

For many years, women's shoes (including sandals) have been an integral part of the fashion statement made by women through the entire full set of clothing they wear. Primarily, a fashioned woman's collocation of external clothing components with shoes (including sandals) would require a particular pair of shoes or sandals to be roughly compatible with the color and/or design of the garment in color and/or design. In recent years, men have become more styled, as evidenced by the variety of clothing designs and applications to the art of clothing. Men's shoes (especially casual shoes, such as tennis shoes) have been designed, for example, to provide not only functionality, but also a completely different look.

In addition to changing the appearance of single and double shoes so that the shoes can be used for economics in different occasions, if the wearer of the shoes can "decorate" the shoes to add color and design, and personalize the shoes to praise the wearer's Look, this will be highly desirable. Although efforts have been devoted to personalization in the past by adding decorative art on shoes, many such efforts are still very limited in terms of the amount of personalization that can be applied.

2A and 2B; 3A-3C; and 4A-4C The applicant's previous related invention. All embodiments allow the use of replaceable fashion design inserts in display pouches or display cases for women's shoes. A common feature of these embodiments is a sheet of material that traverses from the ankle strap of the shoe to at least one strap located at the forefoot region of the shoe. The pouch or display box is attached to a sheet of material that supports the pouch or display box, wherein the sheet of material typically extends in a direction along the centerline of the sole of the shoe. The shoe structure previously disclosed by the Applicant shows that the pouch or display case is attached to the sheet of material by the use of sewing or fasteners such as buckles. In one embodiment, a pouch technique is used to attach the pouch, wherein the bottom layer of the pouch provides a slit or loop through which a buckle-type lace can be secured to the shoe.

It is highly advantageous to be able to fasten fashion design accessories to shoes including ankle straps and forefoot straps without the need for sewing, buckles or belt buckles on fashion design accessories. Additionally, it may be particularly advantageous to have an attachment mechanism that allows for a simple reset or replacement of a fashion design accessory.

As previously discussed, a fashion design attachment is placed over the sheet of material such that the sheet of material passes from the ankle position to the foremost portion of the shoe, near the toe of the shoe, allowing the fashion design attachment to be flexed at the foot when the wearer of the shoe walks. Above the area. This reduces the number of fashion design inserts that are present in the attached pouch or display case that tend to become permanently displaced or wrinkled as the person walks with the shoe. For the purposes discussed herein, this piece of material is referred to as a "shoe display piece."

An improvement provided by the present invention is the manner in which the pouch or display case is attached to the shoe display sheet. This improvement makes the design of the fashion design accessory cheaper and more It is easy to position the fashion design insert in the appropriate position in the pouch or display case. Alternatively, the pouch or display box can be applied in a manner that produces a slim curved appearance, with the pouch or display box lying flat against the shoe display sheet. The insert is not required to be used in a protective pouch or display case when the design attachment is sufficiently rigid and tough enough to resist the "wear and tear" experienced by the surface of the shoe. The design accessory can be attached directly to the shoe display.

The present invention relates to shoes (including sandals) having shoe display sheets that are generally traversed from the ankle strap to the foremost portion of the shoe. The upwardly facing surface of the shoe display sheet includes materials that can be used to facilitate the attachment and separation of the fashion design accessory (hereafter referred to as the fashion design mounting substrate), such that a range of fashion design accessories can be used to provide color, pattern, and The embossed design can be coordinated with other clothing items of the wearer's full set of clothing, for example. The height of the ankle strap is such that the buckling and bending of the foot does not always interfere with the fashion design attachment located on the upwardly facing surface of the shoe display.

In an embodiment of the invention, the upper portion of the shoe (including the ankle strap, the shoe display sheet, and at least one other lace in the forefoot region of the shoe (where the number of laces is dependent on the design of the shoe)) Mounted on the sole, the sole is designed to provide a support curve for improved posture or for improving athletic performance. For example and without limitation, the sole of the shoe can be similar to an injection molded sole that is designed to improve the performance of the athlete. The upper portion of the shoe (including the ankle strap and the shoe display panel), and at least one other foot strap can be attached to the sole as part of the rubber treatment of the shoe sole, such as in injection molding, extrusion molding, or shoemaking During other plastic and/or rubber processing methods well known in the art.

The upper part of the shoe can be made of leather, plastic, rubber, metal, metal-containing plastic, metal-containing rubber and a combination thereof. After manufacture of the other portions of the shoe, the material used to form the sleek design mounting substrate can be attached to the shoe display sheet, or the material can be formed in conjunction with the formation of the shoe display sheet. In some instances, the sleek design mounting substrate can be produced during the manufacturing process to form the upper portion of the shoe, including the shoe display sheet. Additionally, the material needed to form the pouch or display case may be treated in conjunction with or concurrently with the manufacture of the upper portion of the shoe, or in some instances, the material needed to form the pouch or display case may be treated in conjunction with both the sole portion and the upper portion of the shoe. .

For example and without limitation, a transparent window of a pouch or display box having a bezel trimming material can be formed simultaneously with the pouch or display case by injection molding or extrusion. In an alternative embodiment, the transparent windows are formed separately and then attached to the pouch or display case. Depending on the method used to make the upper portion of the shoe, the pouch or display case can be fabricated in conjunction with the process used to form the upper portion of the shoe. In some instances, it may be too complicated to form a pouch or display case when manufacturing the upper portion of the shoe, but the pouch or display case may be formed in conjunction with the manufacture of a shoe display sheet that is subsequently attached to the upper portion of the shoe. Those skilled in the art of plastic and rubber processing will recognize the various possibilities that can be used to create a flat pouch or display box that will become part of the finished shoe.

A fashion design accessory can be attached to the shoe using a pouch or display box with a decorative insert. When the pouch or display case is produced separately from the manufacture of the upper portion of the shoe, the pouch or display case can be placed by applying an adhesive, magnetic material or mechanical structure over at least a portion of the back side of, for example, a pouch or display case. The back side is attached to the upwardly facing surface of the shoe display sheet. Shoe show piece up The surface includes a sleek design mounting substrate that is compatible with the adhesive, magnetic material or mechanical structure present on the back side of the pouch or display case.

In another embodiment, the sleek design attachment can be mounted directly to the upwardly facing surface of the shoe display panel, the upwardly facing surface of the shoe display panel providing a mechanical attachment, such as a hook and loop structure, a tongue and groove configuration, or the like. Mechanical structure. In an alternate embodiment, the sleek design mounting base can utilize a coated magnetic material having a surface that is coated with a magnetic material of opposite polarity that can be used to attract the design attachment. In another alternative embodiment, the sleek design mounting substrate can be a rubber or plastic material having a textured upper surface, and the adhesive coated surface of the sleek design attachment will adhere to the textured upper surface.

Regarding the use of pouches or display cases, the fashion inserts that are placed in the pouch or display case are reversible, and for example, color, imprint design can be used to match color, imprint design, clothing design, etc. Plugin. The insert can be injection molded or laminated. In the case of a frangible decorative material, this can be laminated using a laminating device. For example and without limitation, those who like crafts can use their laminating equipment available from the hobby store to create their own plug-ins. Stylish inserts for use in pouches or display cases can be modified in terms of structural construction so that the insert can be coordinated with the internal shape of the pouch or display case.

An embodiment of the pouch for the integrated pouch structure includes an upper transparent top layer through which a fashion design insert can be displayed and a back side attached to the transparent top layer, wherein, for example and without limitation, the back side includes Mechanical structure for mounting, magnetic surface for attraction, or for displaying shoes A pressure sensitive adhesive that is fastened to the shoe.

In another embodiment, the pouch is an integrated structure formed from a transparent layer in combination with at least one trim/back surface forming layer, the trim/back surface forming layer being provided along a transparent layer The back of the back side edge. This back side is attached directly to the upper surface of the shoe display sheet to form a flat pouch. The at least one trim/back surface forming layer typically has an adhesive applied to the first surface of the trim/back surface forming layer such that the adhesive bonds about half of the trim/back surface forming layer along the edge of the transparent layer to The top surface, and when the trimming/back surface is formed over the edge of the transparent layer, the adhesive bonds the remaining half of the first surface of the trim/back surface forming layer to the bottom surface of the transparent layer. a second adhesive is present on the second surface of the trim/back surface forming layer, and after the first surface is folded to contact the back side of the transparent layer, the second surface of the trim/back surface forming layer is formed in a transparent A back on the bottom of the layer. The second surface is then bonded to the top surface of the shoe display sheet using a second layer of adhesive. This forms a flat pouch on the top surface of the shoe display sheet.

A related embodiment utilizing a trim/back surface forming layer is referred to herein as a "wrap-around" pouch. To form a "wound" pouch, the trim/back surface forming layer has a more complex shape, which is shown in Figure 1E. In this embodiment, the trim/back surface forming layer typically comprises three portions. The first upper portion extends over the shoe display sheet winding region and the first upper portion is selectively extendable over the upper edge of the transparent layer toward the ankle strap region of the shoe. The first upper portion is generally used to form a portion of the frame portion around the upper sidewall of the transparent layer, and when extending over the upper edge of the transparent layer, the first upper portion is used to form a suspension The legs (the suspension legs are folded back over the upper edge of the transparent layer) to contact the back side region of the shoe display panel, the back side region being located above the ankle strap. The hanging leg is bonded to the back side of the shoe display piece, and the hanging leg is used to support the upper entrance channel area of the pouch (the decorative insert can be inserted into the upper access channel area) so that the insertion procedure does not damage the pouch . A second intermediate portion of the trim/back surface forming layer is wrapped around the shoe display sheet to wind up the shoe display sheet, the second intermediate portion being the back side for forming the pouch. The third lower portion of the trim/back surface forming layer is below the winding area, and the third lower portion is for framing the lower portion of the transparent layer, including side edges and bottom edges. Alternatively, a short, separate sheet of trim material can be used to wind the top top edge of the transparent layer such that the entire window area formed by the transparent layer is framed. The frame around the edge of the transparent layer typically extends inwardly a fixed distance toward the center of the transparent layer, but in some instances, the portion of the frame or frame may have a design pattern along the inner edge of the frame.

When the upper portion of the pouch is mounted on the shoe display sheet, the upper portion of the pouch generally extends over the upper edge of the loop at the top of the shoe display panel, and the ankle strap passes through the loop member. The ankle strap can be on the height, on the upper ankle, or the ankle strap can be on the lower part of the ankle, depending on the design of the shoe. The bottom of the pouch typically extends to the bottom of the shoe display panel and the bottom of the pouch can extend beyond the bottom of the shoe display panel. However, as previously mentioned, the portion of the trim/back surface forming layer wrapped around the display sheet must stop at the top of the highest band forming the forefoot portion of the shoe restraint strip. The pouch can receive, hold and display the previously described interchangeable fashion inserts.

When using a display box to incorporate a fashion design plug-in, the display box is Often a two-part construction, the display box includes an upper aileron that can be separated (all or at least partially separated) from the backside layer of the display box, wherein at least the upper end of the aileron can be raised to allow fashion Design the plugin for insertion. At least a portion of the upper aileron is typically a transparent sheeting. The exterior of the back side of the display case may include a backside material that is not a shoe display sheet. In this embodiment, an attachment material (eg, a mechanical attachment structure, a magnetic material, or a pressure sensitive adhesive) may be present, for example, on the back side of the display case to attach the display case to the sleek design mounting substrate. In an alternate embodiment, the shoe display sheet forms the back side of the display case and the upper aileron includes fasteners for direct attachment to the shoe display piece. The display box passes from the ankle strap to the foremost part of the shoe as discussed above in relation to the pouch. Stylish inserts used in display cases may be more susceptible to chipping because the detachable upper ailerons on the display box are lowered to a position above the fashion design insert.

The interchangeable fashion design inserts used in pouches or display cases are constructed to provide adjustment and retention within the transparent area of the pouch or display case. The fashion insert can be single-sided when the insert is held in a pouch or display case, or the fashion insert can be reversible (having a different design on the front and back).

In another embodiment of the invention, the fashion display accessory can be secured directly to the upper surface of the shoe display panel. The shoe display piece has a stylish design mounting substrate as the upper surface. The stylish design mounting substrate provides a mechanical attachment structure, a magnetic surface, or a rubber or plastic textured surface, a mechanical attachment structure, a magnetic surface, or a rubber or plastic textured surface that can be applied with a resettable pressure sensitive adhesive. In this embodiment, the fashion display accessory has a back surface that can provide a corresponding mechanical attachment structure, or a magnetic surface, or the fashion display accessory has a back surface that includes a pressure sensitive adhesive that can be attached to the pressure sensitive adhesive. It is the rubber or plastic textured surface on the upper surface of the shoe display. When the back of the fashion display accessory is an adhesive, a layer of release paper can be applied over the adhesive to be removed when the fashion display accessory is placed on the upper textured surface of the shoe display. The upper surface of the fashion design accessory must be resistant to wear and tear, and wear and tear can occur on the upper surface of the shoe. At least the upper surface or possibly the entire fashion design accessory may be injection molded, extruded or laminated to have a scratch resistant upper surface. In an alternative, the scratch and abrasion resistant coating can be applied to the surface of the fashion design material.

In order to extend the life of the fashion display accessory including the pressure sensitive adhesive on its back side, the Applicant has devised a "re-adhesive", one-shot spray on the adhesive repair system in which the pressure sensitive adhesive is re-adhered. The chemical composition is packaged in a small, lipstick-sized container that can be carried around in a woman's purse, for example. In an alternative embodiment, the re-adhesive chemical composition is a solid material packaged in a small, lipstick-sized container from which the chemical composition can be spread to the pressure present on the back side of the fashion design accessory. Above the surface of the sensitive adhesive.
