Definitions

  • This invention relates to shoes, and more particularly, to slippers of a type having a novel sole.
  • the present invention overcomes the weaknesses of known slippers in that it, for the first time, enables the use of a formed sole for a slipper that, because of its design and material, absorbs the shock and provides support when the user is walking and running.
  • the slipper uses a soft resilient vamp secured to a sole member formed from a cushioning pad and having a contoured interior and an upstanding perimeter rim.
  • the interior has a plurality of projections to supportingly engage the foot recesses of a wearer and to form sole recesses that cooperatively receive the toes, foot ball recess, and heel.
  • the heel recess has a slightly raised heel platform resiliently positioned to absorb shock and provide support during use.
  • a primary objective of the present invention is to provide a soft slipper such as a scuff, mule or ballerina with a molded sole having all of the advantages of prior art devices and more, and none of the disadvantages .
  • Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide a slipper of the type described wherein the contoured interior of the sole provides a toe recess, a foot ball recess, and a heel recess having a slightly raised heel platform.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide a slipper of the type described that can be formed from a single piece of cushioning material.
  • Yet still a further objective of the present invention is to provide a slipper of the type described wherein the contoured sole can be easily and inexpensively fastened to the vamp to form the finished slipper.
  • Still another objective of the present invention is to provide a slipper of the type described wherein some of the formed projections have holes or recesses to provide a spring-like or cushioning effect.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a slipper with a contoured sole forming the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective and exploded view of the slipper and sole comprising the present invention wherein the sole has been displaced from the vamp.
  • Fig. 3 is a plan view of the sole comprising a part of the present invention.
  • a slipper shown generally as 10 depicted in this view as a ballerina slipper is formed from a soft resilient vamp 12 of leather, plastic, fabric or other suitable shoe top material and is joined to a sole member shown generally as 14.
  • Member 14 is preferably molded from a cushioning material having a contoured interior 16 and an upstanding perimeter rim 18 bordering the entire sole.
  • Interior 16 has a plurality of projections subsequently to be described which supportingly engage the foot recesses of a wearer to absorb the shock and provide support when the wearer is walking and running.
  • the projections include an arch projection 20, a toe crease ridge 22 and a deformable heel platform 24 shown in Fig. 2 as a raised grid.
  • the arch projection 20 and the heel platform 24 may be provided with a plurality of recesses or holes 23 to give a cushioning action when the weight of the foot is exerted on the perforated projection.
  • Three major recesses are formed in the sole first by, for example, the inner connection of the toe crease ridge 22 and the perimeter rim 18 to form a toe recess 26.
  • the toe crease ridge 22, the arch support 20, and a perimeter ridge 18 form the foot ball recess 28.
  • the perimeter rim 18, a resilient heel ridge 30 and the arch support 20 form heel recess 32 within which is positioned heel platform 24.
  • Slipper 10 is thereafter formed in a conventional manner with a light cushioning material inlaid over the surface of sole contoured interior 16 and thereafter covered with a dressing fabric which will directly engage the foot of the wearer.
  • the sole is then attached to the vamp 12 in a conventional manner, either by stitching directly the perimeter rim 18 of sole 14 to vamp 12 or by adhering it with glue or other bonding substances .
  • the vamp can be made of any number of materials and any decorative form.
  • a decorative bow or other ornamental device can be affixed to the front portion of the vamp as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. It is conceivable that certain minor deviations of the construction illustrated in the preferred embodiment of this invention can be made to accommodate particular types of situations or intended styles. Hence, the invention is not intended to be limited specifically to the illustrative embodiment set forth, but only by the scope of the appended claims and the reasonably equivalent structures to those defined therein.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une pantoufle (10) à semelle profilée, qui comprend une claque souple et élastique (12) attachée à une semelle (14) faite d'un coussinet amortisseur; la semelle (14) possède une partie intérieure profilée (16) et une bordure (18) tournée vers le haut. La partie intérieure profilée (16) du coussinet comporte plusieurs saillies venant en contact avec les cavités du pied de manière à le soutenir; elles absorbent les chocs et soutiennent le pied lorsque l'utilisateur marche ou court. Certaines saillies possèdent plusieurs trous ou évidements (23) qui ont un effet amortissant lors du port des pantoufles. Les saillies comprennent une protubérance (20) pour la voûte, une crête (22) pour le pli des orteils et une plate-forme déformable (24) pour le talon; elles servent à former, dans diverses combinaisons, un creux (26) pour les orteils, un creux (28) pour l'avant-pied et un creux (32) pour le talon comportant une plate-forme (24) pour le talon.
