Definitions

  • the invention is particularly but not exclusively an improvement of the shoe that I patented under the number FR 0706370.
  • This shoe has the advantage of being able to retain the sole under the foot with a single anchor point in the sole, a part covered with a removable decorative member. Seen from above, only a bare foot can be seen, covered, for example, by a piece of jewelry that can be changed at will.
  • This shoe comprises a relatively rigid, curved, retaining piece under the foot, whose upper part comes on top of the foot, the central part passes between the toes, and the lower part is attached to the sole. The rigidity of this part is sufficient to maintain the sole under the foot with it alone.
  • the retaining part comprises at least two members that can slide between themselves and maintain themselves in the selected position, one of the members comprising the upper part and the other the lower part of the retaining part.
  • the upper part is extended by a substantially vertical flat, a leaf, passing between the toes and sliding in the interior of a tube attached to the sole.
  • the leaf and the tube can be switched, or the upper part has an oblong bore and slides in a flat, a leaf, attached to the sole, passing between the toes and emerging above them.
  • the adjustment between the members of the retaining part is sufficient tight so that that the aforementioned members do not slide relative to each other under their own weights.
  • a force must be excerted on the latter substantially on the axis of the sliding members; the force exerted by the foot below the upper part is offset and creates a lever arm that traps the sliding parts, in the manner of a clamp.
  • the notches on one of the sliding members are received in the notches of the other sliding members and under the pressure of one of the two members that can be deformed elastically.
  • the sliding members are maintained between themselves in the selected position by at least one screw, or by a strip that can slide between them and that clamps them one against the other.
  • One of the sliding members has a notch with an inclined face enabling it to enter into the other member wherein it slides, but preventing it from completely exiting from there with its other side coming into contact with an abutment of the member wherein it slides.
  • the patent FR 0706370 describes “An object that has a decorative member on its upper face, a bottom face of a protective material for the foot and, between these two faces, an opening, a slot adapted to receive and retain the upper part of the retaining part can be attached to it”.
  • this upper part has a convex surface, a notch located between the fiber end and the decorative member that grasps it, blocking the exit of the latter.
  • the upper part has a bore that can also enable attachment of the decorative object.
  • the bards of the sole are raised to prevent rotation of the foot.
  • the distance between the raised edge of the sole in front of the toes and the rear edge of the retaining part rising between the toes is slightly shorter than the latter.
  • the toes are in this manner blocked at the front by the raised edge of the sole and not by the contact between the part rising between the toes and the often sensitive inter-toe of the foot.
  • the retaining part can be, for example, made of two molded plastic members.
  • FIG. 1 shows the shoe top view
  • FIG. 2 shows the shoe side view
  • FIGS. 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 and 7 show side sectional view of the retaining parts
  • the shoe comprises a sole ( 3 ) and a retaining part ( 1 ) that holds it to the foot ( 2 ).
  • This retaining part comprises two members, an upper part ( 11 ) and central ( 12 ) bonded to it that can be made by plastic molding or thermoforming, and a lower part ( 13 ) and central ( 12 ) bonded to it, also made of molded plastic.
  • One of central parts ( 12 ) is a flat that slides in the other central part ( 12 ), which is a tube.
  • the lower thin, flat part ( 13 ), substantially perpendicular to the central parts ( 12 ), is bonded in a recess provided in the sole ( 3 ).
  • notches ( 14 ) are molded on the edges of the flat and act to fit into the notches ( 15 ) molded on the interior of the edges of the tube.
  • the flat is split to provide an elasticity that enables the movement of notches ( 14 ).
  • Another possibility is a screw ( 16 ) passing through a threaded bore in the front edge of the tube that acts to lock the flat, or a strip ( 20 ) forming a wedge between the inner edge of the tube and the edge of the flat.
  • the bottom of the edge of the plate has a notch ( 17 ) that abuts against a notch ( 18 ) molded on the top edge of the tube, preventing the plate from completely exiting from the tube.
  • a convex surface ( 19 ) is molded onto the free end of the upper part ( 11 ) of the retaining part ( 1 ). It makes unintentional release of the decorative object ( 22 ) difficult.
  • a bore ( 21 ) in the upper part ( 11 ) can enable attachment of the decorative object to it.
  • the distance ( 23 ) between the rear edge of the central part ( 1 ) and the raised part of the front of the sole ( 3 ) is smaller than the length of the thong piece ( 24 ).
