Description

DISPOSITIVO SUSTENTADOR PARA CALZADO  SUSTAINING DEVICE FOR FOOTWEAR
CAMPO DE LA INVENCIÓN FIELD OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo sustentador destinado al mantenimiento de la configuración estructural del calzado y a su suspensión para exposición, evitando la deformación del mismo. The present invention relates to a support device intended for maintaining the structural configuration of the footwear and its suspension for exposure, avoiding deformation thereof.
ANTECEDENTES BACKGROUND
Actualmente, el calzado se fabrica de tal manera que el producto final obtenido tras el proceso de fabricación tenga las formas tridimensionales requeridas en el diseño del mismo. Para ello, es habitual que, durante la fabricación del calzado, se empleen estructuras rígidas de protección en el interior de dicho calzado, denominadas hormas, de tal forma que el calzado mantenga su configuración durante todo el proceso de fabricación, que incluye diversos procesos, materiales y maquinaria. Currently, footwear is manufactured in such a way that the final product obtained after the manufacturing process has the three-dimensional shapes required in its design. For this, it is common that, during the manufacture of footwear, rigid protective structures are used inside said footwear, called lasts, so that the footwear maintains its configuration throughout the manufacturing process, which includes various processes, Materials and machinery
Sin embargo, una vez finalizado el proceso de fabricación del calzado, se extrae del mismo la horma o estructura rígida que mantenía su estructura, para pasar a su posterior transporte y comercialización antes de llegar al consumidor final. Así, el calzado comienza, una vez extraída la horma, un proceso de retracción y deformación debido a que los materiales empleados en su conformación (piel natural y sintética, pisos de cuero o de goma, etc.) actúan buscando su forma original.  However, once the shoe manufacturing process is finished, the last or rigid structure that maintained its structure is extracted from it, to move on to its subsequent transport and commercialization before reaching the final consumer. Thus, the shoe begins, once the last is extracted, a process of retraction and deformation because the materials used in its conformation (natural and synthetic leather, leather or rubber floors, etc.) act looking for its original shape.
Para solucionar este problema, se conoce en el estado de la técnica emplear mayor rigidez en el material empleado para conformar el zapato. Habitualmente, este material es la piel, empleándose entonces un proceso de endurecimiento posterior, una vez conformado el calzado, de tal forma que se mantenga la forma del mismo. Sin embargo, la forma se mantiene tan sólo parcialmente, además de representar un procedimiento extra y que redunda en un mayor coste de fabricación. Por otro lado, se corre el riesgo con estas técnicas de dotar al zapato de una rigidez excesiva, lo cual provocaría en el usuario final una sensación de falta de flexibilidad, una gran incomodidad a la hora de llevar este calzado, que en la mayoría de las ocasiones le provocaría roces diversos en el pie. To solve this problem, it is known in the state of the art to use greater rigidity in the material used to shape the shoe. Usually, this material is the skin, then using a subsequent hardening process, once the footwear is formed, so that its shape is maintained. However, the form is only partially maintained, in addition to representing an extra procedure that results in a higher manufacturing cost. On the other hand, you run the risk with these techniques to give the shoe an excessive rigidity, which would cause the end user a feeling of lack of flexibility, a great discomfort when wearing this shoe, which in most cases would cause various frictions on the foot.
Es conocida también la utilización de elementos tridimensionales que se ajustan a la forma interior de la punta del zapato, siendo habitualmente estos elementos de papel, empleados conjuntamente con un elemento longitudinal, tipo barra, colocado a modo de tensor entre el elemento tridimensional y el talón del zapato. El problema que plantea esta solución es que es defectuosa, pues no se consigue mantener la fuerza y el volumen que son necesarios para retener la forma del zapato. Además, esta solución no es duradera a la hora de ser utilizada por el consumidor final del calzado, quien acaba por desecharla tras un par de usos.  It is also known to use three-dimensional elements that fit the inside shape of the toe of the shoe, these paper elements being usually used together with a longitudinal, bar-like element, positioned as a tensioner between the three-dimensional element and the heel of the shoe The problem with this solution is that it is defective, since it is not possible to maintain the strength and volume that are necessary to retain the shape of the shoe. In addition, this solution is not durable when used by the final consumer of footwear, who ends up disposing of it after a couple of uses.
Se conocen también diversas estructuras para mantener la forma del calzado, denominadas pernitos. Por ejemplo, el documento ES 222807 describe un pernito rígido que comprende a su vez una pala frontal, una talonera posterior, ambas unidas mediante un elemento tensor. El problema que plantea una solución de este tipo es que la estructura desarrollada es compleja, con lo cual el coste de la misma es elevado. Además, esta solución no es agradable desde un punto de vista estético, por lo que no se utiliza habitualmente durante la comercialización y exposición del calzado para su venta, puesto que lo haría poco atractivo. Más aún, este tipo de solución no se puede aplicar de forma válida y efectiva a calzados del tipo sandalias, con hebillas al tobillo, con elementos adicionales de diseño, tipo lazos, u otros elementos altamente deformables, etc. Por otra parte, estas soluciones no permiten una atractiva exposición del calzado para su venta, no siendo tampoco una solución que permita la versatilidad en esta exposición que debe hacerse mediante estanterías en las que se repose todo el calzado, lo cual evita un óptimo aprovechamiento del espacio de exposición, y hace que sena soluciones no atractivas para la venta y costosas.  Various structures are also known to maintain the shape of the footwear, called pernitos. For example, the document ES 222807 describes a rigid bolt which in turn comprises a front blade, a rear heel, both joined by a tensioning element. The problem posed by such a solution is that the structure developed is complex, with which the cost of it is high. In addition, this solution is not pleasant from an aesthetic point of view, so it is not commonly used during the marketing and exhibition of footwear for sale, since it would make it unattractive. Moreover, this type of solution cannot be applied in a valid and effective way to sandal type shoes, with buckles to the ankle, with additional design elements, type loops, or other highly deformable elements, etc. On the other hand, these solutions do not allow an attractive exhibition of footwear for sale, nor is it a solution that allows versatility in this exhibition that must be done through shelves in which all the footwear rests, which avoids optimal use of the exhibition space, and makes it unattractive solutions for sale and expensive.
El documento EP 1690463 A1 , por ejemplo, describe una solución de pernito de calzado que comprende un elemento rígido base al que se le acopla otro elemento rígido frontal, distinto en función de la forma interior que tenga la punta del zapato donde va a ser dispuesto. Esta solución presenta igualmente el problema de que es compleja y no versátil para zapatos de tipo sandalias que comprendan elementos deformables, además de no ser una solución estética que pueda emplearse en la exposición para venta del calzado, con lo cual éste se deforma en periodos de larga exposición. Además, esta solución tampoco permite una atractiva exposición del calzado para su venta, ni permite versatilidad en esta exposición, que ha de hacerse en estanterías que limitan la optimización de espacio y son de coste elevado. EP 1690463 A1, for example, describes a shoe bolt solution comprising a rigid base element to which another rigid front element is coupled, depending on the interior shape of the shoe tip where it will be arranged. This solution also presents the problem that it is complex and non-versatile for sandals-type shoes that comprise deformable elements, in addition to not being an aesthetic solution that can be used in the exhibition for the sale of footwear, with which it deforms in periods of long exposition. In addition, this solution does not allow an attractive exhibition of footwear for sale, nor does it allow versatility in this exhibition, which has to be done on shelves that limit space optimization and are high cost.
Es conocida también una solución como la recogida por el documento US 2006/0168742 A1 , en el que se describe un pernito para calzado que comprende elementos constitutivos rígidos, tales como un elemento frontal de puntera, al cual se acoplan dos elementos laterales que son capaces de expandirse lateralmente mediante unos elementos elásticos del tipo muelle, un elemento posterior, para la zona del talón, y un elemento que une ambos y que puede variar en longitud en función del zapato donde vaya a colocarse. Nuevamente, el problema que presentan soluciones de este tipo es que son poco versátiles cuando se han de emplear en zapatos del tipo sandalias, zapatos que contengan elementos de diseño con una elevada deformabilidad, etc., además de no ser elementos estéticos que hagan el zapato atractivo durante la exposición del mismo para su venta. De forma similar a lo comentado para otras soluciones, este documento no presenta tampoco una solución versátil para la exposición del calzado que, nuevamente, ha de exponerse mediante estanterías o expositores con una base plana para el reposo del calzado.  A solution is also known as the one collected by US 2006/0168742 A1, in which a foot bolt is described comprising rigid constituent elements, such as a front toe element, to which two lateral elements that are capable are coupled to expand laterally by means of elastic elements of the spring type, a posterior element, for the heel area, and an element that joins both and that can vary in length depending on the shoe where it is to be placed. Again, the problem with solutions of this type is that they are not very versatile when they are to be used in sandals type shoes, shoes that contain design elements with high deformability, etc., in addition to not being aesthetic elements that make the shoe attractive during its exhibition for sale. Similar to what has been said for other solutions, this document also does not present a versatile solution for the exhibition of footwear that, again, has to be exposed through shelves or displays with a flat base for the rest of footwear.
Otros documentos que presentan el estado de la técnica anterior son los documentos WO 201 1055162 A1 , US 3750208, US 2777216, US 2169835, EP 2253239 A1 y AR 053744 A1 , por ejemplo.  Other documents that present prior art are documents WO 201 1055162 A1, US 3750208, US 2777216, US 2169835, EP 2253239 A1 and AR 053744 A1, for example.
Se conoce, del documento US 3750208 A, un soporte para el interior del calzado, de tal manera que dicho calzado permanezca sin deformarse durante su transporte o almacenaje. El problema que plantea una solución de este tipo es que es poco versátil para distintos tipos y formas de calzado, requiriendo importantes modificaciones para utilizarse en distintos calzados, lo que conlleva costes muy importantes. Por otro lado, este tipo de solución no es estéticamente aceptable para exhibir el calzado de cara a su venta. Otras soluciones, como por ejemplo la mostrada en el documento CA 769981 A, se adaptan a tipos de calzado muy específicos, no permitiendo versatilidad en su uso, tal y como sería deseable. From US 3750208 A, a support is known for the interior of the footwear, such that said footwear remains without deformation during transport or storage. The problem with a solution of this type is that it is not very versatile for different types and shapes of footwear, requiring significant modifications to be used in different footwear, which entails very important costs. On the other hand, this type of solution is not aesthetically acceptable for displaying footwear for sale. Other solutions, such as the one shown in document CA 769981 A, are adapted to very specific types of footwear, not allowing versatility in their use, as would be desirable.
El documento US 2890469 A describe un elemento expandible longitudinalmente para el calzado, presentando dicho elemento el problema de la falta de versatilidad para poder ser aplicado en distintos modelos de calzado manteniendo un comportamiento óptimo. Es conocido también el documento US 2872692 A, que describe un elemento conformador flexible con extremos libres: este tipo de solución plantea el inconveniente de que no presenta extremos en talón y puntera que mantengan la forma correcta del calzado, que acaba por tanto por deformarse con el tiempo. De forma similar, el documento US 2787013 A describe un elemento sustentador para calzado abierto en el talón, presentando dicha solución falta de versatilidad para poder emplearse en calzados diversos.  Document US 2890469 A describes a longitudinally expandable element for footwear, said element presenting the problem of the lack of versatility to be able to be applied in different models of footwear while maintaining optimum performance. Document US 2872692 A is also known, which describes a flexible forming element with free ends: this type of solution poses the disadvantage that it does not have heel and toe ends that maintain the correct shape of the footwear, which therefore ends up deforming with time. Similarly, document US 2787013 A describes a support element for open heel footwear, said solution presenting a lack of versatility to be used in various footwear.
Por todo lo expuesto anteriormente, sería deseable disponer de una solución que permita sustentar el calzado correctamente en su forma, tal que dicha solución pueda aplicarse de forma versátil, sencilla y económica a gran diversidad de calzado, y que sea a la vez capaz de tener un diseño estético que permita utilizarse en toda la vida útil del calzado, incluyendo el transporte del mismo, su exposición atractiva para venta, así como su uso por parte del consumidor final. For all of the above, it would be desirable to have a solution that allows the footwear to be properly supported in its form, such that said solution can be applied in a versatile, simple and economical way to a great diversity of footwear, and that is at the same time capable of an aesthetic design that allows it to be used throughout the useful life of the footwear, including its transport, its attractive exhibition for sale, as well as its use by the final consumer.
Así, la presente invención está orientada a proporcionar estas funcionalidades. Thus, the present invention is oriented to provide these functionalities.

DESCRIPCIÓN DETALLADA DE LA INVENCIÓN DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo sustentador destinado al mantenimiento de la configuración estructural de calzado 10, así como para la suspensión para exposición de dicho calzado 10, evitando en todo momento la deformación del calzado 10. The present invention relates to a support device for the maintenance of the structural configuration of footwear 10, as well as for the suspension for exposing said footwear 10, avoiding at all times the deformation of footwear 10.
El dispositivo sustentador de la invención comprende a su vez los siguientes elementos  The support device of the invention in turn comprises the following elements
- un elemento conformador 101 , colocado en el interior del calzado 10, destinado a mantener la configuración estructural de dicho calzado 10; - un elemento de suspensión 102 que permite, acoplado al elemento conformador 101 , la exposición del calzado 10 para su venta, evitando además que se deforme en ningún momento. El elemento conformador 101 comprende, tal y como se muestra en las- a forming element 101, placed inside the footwear 10, intended to maintain the structural configuration of said footwear 10; - a suspension element 102 which allows, coupled to the forming element 101, the exposure of the footwear 10 for sale, also preventing it from being deformed at any time. The forming element 101 comprises, as shown in the
Figuras 1 a y 1 b, un cuerpo principal 1 realizado en un material tal que permite flexibilidad a la hora de ser conformado para tener una forma interna con línea de quiebre de la horma del zapato 10, permitiendo este material, una vez conformado, alcanzar una rigidez suficiente para mantener la configuración estructural del zapato 10 sin cambios. El cuerpo principal 1 mencionado es válido para todas las tallas de zapato 10 en las que va a estar dispuesto, pues no llega a la punta del zapato 10. Preferiblemente, el material del cuerpo principal 1 se realiza en plástico termo conformado, partiéndose de una tira de este material que se corta en la longitud requerida para acoplarse desde la punta al talón de cada calzado 10. Según una realización preferida, el cuerpo principal 1 comprende una pluralidad de aberturas 2 con función de anclaje, no pasantes, de tal forma que el cuerpo 1 sea más translúcido, siendo preferiblemente estas aberturas 2 de sección circular. Estas aberturas 2 tienen el objetivo de poder anclar el cuerpo principal 1 del elemento conformador 101 de forma rígida con otros elementos que sean necesarios para mantener la forma de la estructura del zapato 10, en función del diseño particular de cada zapato 10. Figures 1 a and 1 b, a main body 1 made of a material that allows flexibility when it is formed to have an internal shape with a break line of the last of the shoe 10, allowing this material, once shaped, to reach a sufficient rigidity to maintain the structural configuration of the shoe 10 without changes. The main body 1 mentioned is valid for all shoe sizes 10 in which it will be arranged, as it does not reach the tip of the shoe 10. Preferably, the material of the main body 1 is made of thermoformed plastic, starting from a strip of this material that is cut in the length required to fit from the tip to the heel of each shoe 10. According to a preferred embodiment, the main body 1 comprises a plurality of openings 2 with anchoring function, not through, so that the body 1 is more translucent, these openings 2 being preferably of circular section. These openings 2 have the objective of being able to anchor the main body 1 of the forming element 101 rigidly with other elements that are necessary to maintain the shape of the structure of the shoe 10, depending on the particular design of each shoe 10.
Preferiblemente, el material con el que se conforma el cuerpo principal 1 será transparente, de tal modo que el elemento conformador 101 sea prácticamente invisible, haciendo que sea especialmente atractivo para exposiciones, tiendas y muestrarios. Esta característica es en particular importante para zapato del tipo sandalias.  Preferably, the material with which the main body 1 is formed will be transparent, such that the forming element 101 is practically invisible, making it especially attractive for exhibitions, shops and samples. This feature is particularly important for shoes of the type sandals.
El elemento conformador 101 es totalmente versátil y puede adaptarse a cualquier tipo de calzado 10, talla, quiebre, pie derecho e izquierdo, de la horma del zapato 10, altura de tacón, zapatos para señora, caballero, niño, botas, botines, sandalias, etc.  The forming element 101 is totally versatile and can be adapted to any type of footwear 10, size, break, right and left foot, of the last of the shoe 10, heel height, shoes for women, men, children, boots, booties, sandals , etc.
El cuerpo principal 1 del elemento conformador 101 puede comprender un elemento informativo 3, preferiblemente un código de barras, que contenga la información relativa al calzado 10 en el que dicho elemento conformador 101 esté integrado: modelo, color, número, imagen, surtido, etc. The main body 1 of the forming element 101 may comprise an informational element 3, preferably a bar code, containing the information relating to footwear 10 in which said forming element 101 is integrated: model, color, number, image, assortment, etc.
El elemento conformador 101 puede además comprender al menos un elemento de soporte 4, según los detalles de las Figuras 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d y 2e. El elemento de soporte 4 es un elemento realizado en material preferiblemente translúcido, estando configurado como una única pieza inyectada. El mencionado elemento de soporte 4 comprende en su parte interna unos puntos de apoyo, según se muestra en la Figura 4d, actuando en extensión, al contrario que una brida estándar, que suele actuar a compresión. El elemento conformador 101 puede comprender además al menos un rigidizador 5, dispuesto en el interior de cada elemento soporte 4, tal que el rigidizador 5 puede girar en el interior de dicho elemento de soporte 4, según se desprende de las Figuras 2b y 2c. De este modo, el elemento de soporte 4 sirve como sujeción al rigidizador 5.  The forming element 101 may further comprise at least one support element 4, according to the details of Figures 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d and 2e. The support element 4 is an element made of preferably translucent material, being configured as a single injected piece. Said support element 4 comprises in its inner part some support points, as shown in Figure 4d, acting in extension, unlike a standard flange, which usually acts as a compression. The forming element 101 may further comprise at least one stiffener 5, arranged inside each support element 4, such that the stiffener 5 can rotate inside said support element 4, as shown in Figures 2b and 2c. In this way, the support element 4 serves as a fastener to the stiffener 5.
El elemento conformador 101 puede comprender, en caso de ser necesario, algún elemento soporte 6, encargado de mantener erguido y en tensión, manteniendo su correcta configuración estructural, el calzado 10. El elemento de soporte adicional 6 se conforma preferiblemente a partir de una tira plana, preferentemente realizada en material plástico termo conformado, capaz de adquirir una forma en bucle cerrado de la medida que sea necesaria fijándose a través de unos topes 7. Tal y como se representa en la Figura 4, el elemento de soporte adicional 6, une vez conformado y ajustado, se introduce en el rigidizador 5, introduciéndose ambos posteriormente a través de la guía 8, en vertical, en el elemento de soporte 4, girándose posteriormente el conjunto de rigidizador 5 y elemento de soporte adicional 6, 180° típicamente, o el valor en ángulo preciso para obtener tensión en la zona del zapato 10 precisa. La guía 8 puede a su vez apoyar en ambos lados del espesor del elemento conformador 101 , o bien puede apoyar sólo sobre uno de ellos, permitiendo un desplazamiento lateral del elemento de soporte adicional 6.  The forming element 101 may comprise, if necessary, some support element 6, responsible for maintaining erect and tension, maintaining its correct structural configuration, the footwear 10. The additional support element 6 is preferably formed from a strip flat, preferably made of thermoformed plastic material, capable of acquiring a closed loop shape as necessary by fixing through stops 7. As shown in Figure 4, the additional support element 6 joins Once shaped and adjusted, it is introduced into the stiffener 5, both of which are subsequently introduced through the guide 8, vertically, into the support element 4, the stiffener assembly 5 and additional support element 6, 180 ° typically being then rotated, or the precise angle value to obtain tension in the area of the precise shoe 10. The guide 8 can in turn rest on both sides of the thickness of the forming element 101, or it can rest only on one of them, allowing a lateral displacement of the additional support element 6.
El elemento conformador 101 puede comprender además un suplemento 9, a modo de extensión en altura de caña del zapato 10, necesario para mantener la forma de ciertos modelos de calzado, tales como botines o botas. A su vez, dicho elemento conformador 101 puede también comprender un elemento de refuerzo delantero 90, para reforzar la forma de la parte delantera de determinados modelos de calzado 10 que así lo requieran (ver Figuras 1 1 a y 1 1 b). Existe también la posibilidad de que la guía 8 sujete por un lado al elemento conformador 101 y, por otro lado, sujete además al suplemento 9, consiguiendo de este modo unir ambos elementos, elemento conformador 101 y suplemento 9. The forming element 101 may further comprise a supplement 9, by way of extending the height of the shoe 10, necessary to maintain the shape of certain models of footwear, such as ankle boots or boots. TO in turn, said forming element 101 may also comprise a front reinforcement element 90, to reinforce the shape of the front part of certain footwear models 10 that so require (see Figures 1 1 a and 1 1 b). There is also the possibility that the guide 8 holds the forming element 101 on one side and, on the other hand, also holds the supplement 9, thus attaching both elements, forming element 101 and supplement 9.
El elemento conformador 1 puede adicionalmente comprender (ver Figuras 5a, 5b y 5c) un elemento rigidizador frontal 20, preferiblemente realizado en material plástico inyectado con una rigidez y una flexibilidad suficientes para mantener el calzado 10 en su forma original, a la vez que dicho elemento rigidizador frontal 20 actúa de freno longitudinal con respecto al cuerpo principal 1 , conectándose a dicho cuerpo principal 1 a través de un eje 21 que permite distintos ajustes en altura, tal que dicho eje 21 permite que el elemento rigidizador frontal 20 rote con respecto al cuerpo principal 1 , según un eje longitudinal 22, comprendido en el plano formado por el cuerpo en planta del elemento rigidizador frontal 20, como según un eje pivotante 23, perpendicular al plano formado por el cuerpo en planta del elemento rigidizador frontal 20 (Figuras 5a, 5b). Así, la conexión se realiza como se muestra en la Figura 5e, donde el eje 21 , que es solidario al elemento rigidizador frontal 20, dispone de ranuras longitudinales que, al introducirse en la abertura del elemento conformador 1 y girar 90° con respecto a éste, queda asegurado sin posibilidad de salirse de dicho elemento conformador 1 .  The forming element 1 may additionally comprise (see Figures 5a, 5b and 5c) a front stiffener element 20, preferably made of injected plastic material with sufficient stiffness and flexibility to keep the shoe 10 in its original form, while said front stiffening element 20 acts as a longitudinal brake with respect to the main body 1, connecting to said main body 1 through an axis 21 that allows different height adjustments, such that said axis 21 allows the front stiffening element 20 to rotate with respect to the main body 1, along a longitudinal axis 22, comprised in the plane formed by the plan body of the front stiffener element 20, as per a pivot axis 23, perpendicular to the plane formed by the plan body of the front stiffener element 20 (Figures 5a , 5b). Thus, the connection is made as shown in Figure 5e, where the shaft 21, which is integral with the front stiffening element 20, has longitudinal grooves which, when introduced into the opening of the forming element 1 and rotate 90 ° with respect to this is ensured without the possibility of leaving said forming element 1.
Para el elemento rigidizador frontal 20, se parte de una plancha de vinilo de densidad y calibre suficientes como para que, una vez troquelada con una forma cualquiera (la forma base no es importante, ya que para la gran mayoría de calzado puede utilizarse una sola forma estándar como la mostrada en la Figura 5c), se coloca en el cuerpo principal 1 a través del eje 21 , colocándose en el interior del zapato 10 en forma plegada de cono (como se muestra en la Figura 5d), se suelte en el interior del mencionado zapato 10 y tome inmediatamente la forma interna del calzado. El interior del zapato 10 frena a la vez de forma longitudinal el desplazamiento del cuerpo principal 1 . También es posible llevar a un nivel de acabado más alto en calidad y complejidad la conformación del elemento rigidizador frontal 20, ya que la misma plancha de vinilo es termo-conformada con una forma tridimensional, copiada de la horma original en la que se hizo el modelo en cuestión. El utilizar una u otra opción es decisión del cliente, puesto que ninguno de los dos procesos conlleva elevada complejidad técnica. For the front stiffener element 20, it is based on a vinyl plate of sufficient density and size so that, once punched with any shape (the base shape is not important, since for the vast majority of footwear only one can be used standard form as shown in Figure 5c), is placed in the main body 1 through the axis 21, being placed inside the shoe 10 in a folded cone shape (as shown in Figure 5d), released into the inside of said shoe 10 and immediately take the internal shape of the shoe. The interior of the shoe 10 simultaneously slows the displacement of the main body 1. It is also possible to bring the conformation of the front stiffener element 20 to a higher level of quality and complexity, since the same vinyl plate is thermoformed with a three-dimensional shape, copied from the original last in which the model in question. The use of one option or another is the client's decision, since neither process entails high technical complexity.
Según aparece en las Figuras 6a y 6b, el elemento conformador 101 puede comprender también un elemento rigidizador posterior 30, especialmente útil en modelos de calzado 10 que no tienen soporte al talón del pie (tipo zuecos). Estos elementos rigidizadores posteriores 30 se conforman a partir de una pieza en planta como la mostrada en la Figura 6a, realizada en un material plástico termo conformado, preferentemente, tal que dichos elementos rigidizadores posteriores 30 se fijan al cuerpo principal 1 a través de alguna de las aberturas 2.  As it appears in Figures 6a and 6b, the forming element 101 may also comprise a rear stiffening element 30, especially useful in footwear models 10 that do not have support for the heel of the foot (clogs type). These rear stiffening elements 30 are formed from a plan part as shown in Figure 6a, made of a thermoformed plastic material, preferably such that said rear stiffening elements 30 are fixed to the main body 1 through some of the openings 2.
El funcionamiento y anclaje del elemento rigidizador posterior 30, preferiblemente inyectado en material plástico transparente, es tal que dicho elemento se fija al cuerpo principal 1 a través de dos parejas de tetones que se introducen en cada una de las dos caras del cuerpo principal 1 , imposibilitando el movimiento horizontal del mismo con la ayuda de un tercer punto de apoyo que presiona la planta en la parte trasera del talón del zapato 10, tal y como se muestra en las Figuras 9a a 9f. Así, el objetivo de estos elementos rigidizadores posteriores 30 es impedir el deslizamiento del cuerpo principal 1 hacia detrás.  The operation and anchoring of the rear stiffening element 30, preferably injected in transparent plastic material, is such that said element is fixed to the main body 1 through two pairs of lugs that are introduced into each of the two faces of the main body 1, impeding the horizontal movement of the same with the help of a third support point that presses the plant on the back of the heel of the shoe 10, as shown in Figures 9a to 9f. Thus, the objective of these rear stiffening elements 30 is to prevent the main body 1 from sliding backwards.
El dispositivo sustentador de la invención comprende, además del elemento conformador 101 descrito anteriormente, destinado a mantener la configuración estructural del calzado 10 en todo momento, un elemento de suspensión 102 que permite, acoplado al elemento conformador 101 , la exposición atractiva y versátil del calzado 10 durante la venta del mismo, evitando que dicho calzado 10 se deforme en ningún momento. El elemento de suspensión 102 está unido al elemento conformador 101 de forma rígida, estando a su vez el elemento de suspensión 102 unido a una estructura exterior 40 cualquiera de forma rotativa, pudiendo girar dicho elemento de suspensión 102 con respecto a la estructura exterior 40. Los elementos que componen el elemento de suspensión 102 aparecen representados en las Figuras 7a a 7e adjuntas, y se describirán a continuación. Más detalles aparecen reflejados en las Figuras 9a a 9f. El elemento de suspensión 102 está unido a la estructura exterior 40 a través de un elemento rígido 41 , embutido de forma rígida en la estructura exterior 41 . A su vez, dicho elemento rígido 41 se une de forma rotativa a un elemento de conexión 42 del tipo placa, preferiblemente de sección circular, de tal modo que el elemento de conexión 42 puede girar con respecto al elemento rígido 41 y, por tanto, con respecto a la estructura exterior 40, según un eje de giro perpendicular a la estructura exterior 40, al elemento rígido 41 y al elemento de conexión 42. La estructura del elemento de suspensión 102 se completa con al menos tres elementos de unión 44, 45 y 46, preferiblemente huecos y de sección rectangular. El elemento conformador 101 está a su vez unido al elemento de suspensión 102 a través del último de los elementos de unión, 46. El primer elemento de unión 44 se une al elemento de conexión 42 a través de una articulación 43, de tal modo que el elemento de unión 44 puede girar en la articulación 43 con respecto al elemento de conexión 42, según un eje de giro 47, perpendicular al eje longitudinal del elemento de unión 44 (ver Figura 7a). El segundo elemento de unión 45 se une al primer elemento de unión 44 de forma retráctil, de tal modo que el segundo elemento de unión 45 puede recogerse en longitud sobre el primer elemento de unión 44, o puede extenderse en longitud con respecto al mismo. Finalmente, el tercer elemento de unión 46 se une al segundo elemento de unión 45 a través de una articulación 48, de tal modo que el tercer elemento de unión 46 puede girar con respecto al segundo elemento de unión 45, según un eje de giro 60, perpendicular al eje longitudinal del segundo elemento de unión 45. De este modo, mediante el elemento de suspensión 102, el calzado 10 puede ser expuesto siguiendo la orientación y posición que se deseen (de frente, perfil, boca arriba o boca abajo), y que se considere más atractiva para el cliente. De este modo, el calzado 10 queda expuesto sin necesidad de tener que utilizar repisas o estanterías, con lo que, además de ser ésta una exposición mucho más atractiva, optimiza el espacio destinado a la exposición. La estructura exterior 40 comprenderá unas guías o perfiles diseñados de tal forma que puedan recoger de forma rígida al elemento rígido 41 del elemento de suspensión 102. The supporting device of the invention comprises, in addition to the forming element 101 described above, intended to maintain the structural configuration of the footwear 10 at all times, a suspension element 102 which allows, coupled to the forming element 101, the attractive and versatile exposure of the footwear 10 during the sale thereof, preventing said footwear 10 from being deformed at any time. The suspension element 102 is rigidly connected to the forming element 101, the suspension element 102 being in turn attached to any external structure 40 in a rotational manner, said suspension element 102 being able to rotate with respect to the external structure 40. The elements that make up the suspension element 102 are shown in Figures 7a to 7e attached, and will be described below. More details are reflected in Figures 9a to 9f.
