DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT In the figures, the same components are identified by the same reference numerals.
The disposable footwear of the present invention is a foot cover in the form of a sock or anklet of disposable material such as, for example, paper. The footwear has a toe portion 11, a heel portion 12, an ankle portion 13 and a lower leg portion 14. Each of the portions has perforations therein in a predetermined pattern to facilitate an alteration of the form of the footwear.
The toe portion 11 is adapted to cover the five toes of a foot of a wearer. The toe portion 11 has toe strap perforations 15 therein (FIGS. 1, 3, 4 and 5) which extend between and separate the large toe and the remaining toes of the wearer. The toe strap perforations 15 en-' able the toe portion 11 to be torn along the pattern of said perforations with facility and rapidity to separate said toe portion between the large toe and the remaining toes of the foot of the wearer. The separation of the toe portion 11 along the toe strap perforations 15 facilitates the placing of a strap, member, thong, and, or the like, of a thong, sandal, or the like, between the large toe and the remaining toes of the wearer without tearing the footwear.
The heel portion 12 is adapted to cover the heel of a foot of the wearer. The heel portion 12 has heel perforations 16, 17, 18 and 19 (not shown in the figures) therein which extend substantially around the heel of the foot of the wearer (FIGS. 1, 2 and 3). The heel perforations 16, 17, 18 and 19 enable the heel portion 12 to be removed with facility and rapidity by tearing along the pattern of the perforations 18, 16 and 19 or along the pattern of the perforations 17, 18, 16 and 19. The removal of the heel portion 12 by tearing along the perforations 18, 16 and 19 permits the foot of the wearer to have a completely open heel without a heel bottom strip while the rest of said foot is covered. The removal of the heel portion 12 by tearing along the perforations 17, 18, 16 and 19 permits the foot of the wearer to have an open heel with a heel bottom strip 21 while the rest of the foot is covered.
The ankle portion 13 is adapted to cover the ankle of a foot of the wearer. The ankle portion 13 has ankle perforation 22 therein (FIG. 1) which extend around the under part of the ankle of the foot of the wearer. The ankle perforations 22 enable the removal of the ankle portion 13 and the lower leg portion 14 from the remainder of the footwear with facility and rapidity by tearing along the pattern of the perforations 22. The removal of the ankle portion 13 .and the lower leg portion 14 provides the wearer with a ped, moccasin or slipper type foot cover 23 which covers the foot of the wearer only to below the ankle or lower. The ped. moccasin, slipper, or the like 23 is shown in FIG. 3 in its severed condition for utilization as an article of footwear.
The lower leg portion 14 is adapted to cover a lower leg of the wearer above the ankle or, more specifically, from the ankle perforations 22 to a length of an anklet or sock. The lower leg portion 14 has perforations 24 and 25 therein (FIG. 1) which extend around the lower leg of the wearer. The perforations 24 function as short length perforations and are in a ring around the lower leg of the wearer above the ankle. The perforations 25 function as intermediate length perforations and are in a ring around the lower leg of the wearer spaced from the short length perforations 24 and from the open edge 26 of the footwear.
The short length perforations 24 enable the removal of the lower leg portion 14 above said perforations from the remainder of the footwear with facility and rapidity by tearing along the pattern of said perforations. The removal of the lower leg portion 14 above the perforations 24 provides the wearer with a sock or anklet which opens at said perforations and which therefore extends to only shortly above the ankle of the foot of the wearer. The removed part 27 of the lower leg portion 14 is of substantially cylindrical configuration.
The intermediate length perforations 25 enable the removal of the lower leg portion 14 above said perforations from the remainder of the footwear with facility and rapidity by tearing along the pattern of said perforations. The removal of the lower leg portion 14 above the perforations 25 provides the wearer with a sock or anklet which opens at said perforations and which therefore extends to an inter-mediate length above the ankle of the foot of the wearer. The removed part 28 of the lower leg portion 14 is of substantially cylindrical configuration.
Any suitable number of rings of perforations may be provided in the lower leg portion 14 at any desired spaces from each other to provide any desired number of selectable sock lengths above the ankle.
Back perforations 29 are provided in the footwear (FIGS. 1, 2 and 3) in a substantially linear extension along the back of a foot and lower leg of the wearer from the heel portion 12 to the top or open edge 26 of the lower leg portion 14 of said footwear. The back perforations 29 extend through part of the heel portion 12 and through the entire length of the ankle portion 13 and the entire length of the lower leg portion 14. The back perforations 29 enable the back of the footwear to be torn along the pattern of said perforations with facility and rapidity to any desired extent from the open edge 26 of said footwear to vary the opening of said footwear to facilitate putting on and taking off said footwear by accommodating different sizes of feet.
Any desired number of ventilating holes such as, for example, the holes 31, may be formed through the footwear in any desired portion or portions thereof. The ventilating holes provide foot and/ or lower leg ventilation.
